FINISH WORK
Immense Task for County Auditor
Office l. Nearly Completed for
This Year.

Work on the extension of personal
taxes for Yakima county has been
completed in the office of County Au-
ditor Croker. and the immense book
that contains the statement of am
cunts that must be paid by Yakima
owners of personal property has been
placed in the hands of County Treas
urer Title Collection work does
not start for several months.
The immense task of extending
taxes has been nearly completed in
the auditors office, and it is probable
that the books will be turned over
to the treasurer for all lands during
next week Four OF the lot of books
have already been given 10 the coun-
ty treasurer.
There have been delays in the ex-
tension this year owing to the slow
ness of the various incorporated
towns liz returning the statements
of their levies. The levy for North
Yakima was the first reported, and
it was several weeks later that the
last was received. from Toppenish.

Paragraph II of the complaint
says that 1.-THE said city engineer has
arbitrarily, corruptly, collusively
fraudulently and with intent to de-
fraud this plaintiff and divers other
persons. made and certified erroneous
and false estimates of the amount of

NARROW ESCAPE
Found Lying in Road by Cab Driver
Head Badly But by the
Fall.

While on his way to this city from
Yakima City Friday afternoon. Jesse
Hyatt of Modern addition was thrown
from his buggy and sustained bad
gaeh in the bead and face, bu. no
bones were broken.
Hyatt was found lying in the high
way by a cab driver of the Yakima
Transfer Co., who conveyed The in
jured man to this city, where the
services of DR.. A. j. Helton were Sc
cured and after an examination, Hy-
att was taken home. He is about Is
years of age.
Little is known of the causes sur
rounding the accident, but indications
pointed to the fact that the hose
became frightened and tipped Hyatt
out of the buggy. The victim is said
to have been partly under the inau-
ence of liquor and his escape without
more serious injury is thought to be
remarkable.
He had $40 in his pocket and his
buggy suffered no damage in the ac-
cident.

URGE ROAD FOR
GOLD HILL MINE
OPENS UP RICH MOUNTAIN DISTRICT
North Yakima Men Interested in
Properties Seek Assistance OF
Legislators.

Building of road into the Bump
ing Lake and Gold Hill district in
connection with the state road
through the Cowlitz pass, is sought
by North Yakima men who are inter
ested in the mines of that section.
Support is being asked for the pro-
ject from various legislators. and the
proposition will be submitted to the
house and senate through Represen-
tatives-elect MeiSs and Cline and Sen
ator-elect Cameron.
The building of roadway into the
Gold Hill and Dumping Lake mining
districts will open one of the riches t
ore regions of the northwest to the
country. and will assure a means of
transportation TO rail. The nearest
rail connection will be at Naches City.
and if the Cowlitz pass road is eX-
tended into the mining district dur
ing the next season. that town is GER
tain to become a large ore shipping
point.
Frank Y. Nagler. who is interested
in the mines, is having blue prints
made showing the situation of the
mines and the roadways proposed. It
is estimated the road will cost about
$4,000 to $4,000.

CHARGES FILED
Cook and George Held on Serious
Charge-AleNandeP Identifies
Men i'm General Way.

Confident that they have sufficient
evidence at hand to convict Alfred
George and c. Cook OF the holdup
and shooting of George Alexander,
the prosecuting attorneys office Fri
day afternoon filed an information
in the superior court charging them
with assault to commit a felony upon
the person OF George Alexander.
Besides the discriminating letters,
believed to have been written by
George to a girl friend in this city,
and his mother, the police claim to
have have a strong chain of evidence.
In the room occupied by George
nothing was found with the excep-
ton of few articles of clothing.
The police are looking for the rest
of his possessions. which are believ-
ed to be held by friends in this city.
The 16-year-old girl to whom George
confided his secrets, was in his com
pany few minutes before his arres t
Thursday afternoon.
George Alexander. the victim of
the highwaymen' bullet. identified
George and Cook as bearing a gen.
eral description to the men who held
him up, and is of the opinion that
Cook, the larger of the two, did the
shooting, though not positive.
Since the prisoners have been con-
fined in the county jail they have
maintained moody silence regard
ing the holdup, but talked freely re-
garding their relatives. An effort IS
being made by the authorities to look
up the past records of the two men.
George. while employed at the Paci-
fic Grill, did not often leave his place
of employment and when not working
remained in his room. Two other
parties. arrested in connection with
the holdup, but later found to be only
acqNaintances of the two prisoners.
were released Friday morning.
