TESTIMONIAL TO PROF. John
T. LAYTON.

GIOI. JOnn l Layton many
friends in this city availed them
selves of the opportunit yto show
their appreciation of his long, faith
full and efficient services as a musi-
clan by rendering him a testimonial
last Monday night. A large number
OF both races attended Metropolitan
A. NJ. E. Church and listened to the
most excellent program.
All the choirs were full. Prof.
]. Townsend Beason welded the
baton for Mt. Zion NJ. E. Cohir.
They did fine work and fully sustain
ed their well-earned reputation.
Special credit is due Misses Dab
ney and Perkins for the rendition of
their solos.
Nineteenth Street Baptist Church
Choir, with their leader, DR.. James
T. Walker, was at its best. The
round of applause showed that the
rendition was excellent.
Lincoln Temple Choir sang with
its accustomed finish and style.
St. Mary's P. E. Quartette did ex-
ceptionally good work.
The Metropolitan A. NJ. E. Choir,
last on the program but not least in
its rendition - the shading, attack,
and expression were up to the stnad-
ard.
The obligato which was so sweetly
and pathetically rendered ny Miss
Pearl G. hampton, was greatly en-
joyed.
All the choirs were thoroughly ap-
preciated and loudly applauded.
The United States Marine Band
was present also to do honor to the
occasion. They rendered several Sc
lections. All know what this great
est of bands can do.
The octette from Armstrong Man
ual and M-Street High Schools was
excellent. They sang with great
taste and expression. Master Tur-
ner Layton sang "Onaway" with an
intelligence that wonld have done
credit to a professional singer. He
has a wonderful voice for boy not
fourteen years old, and bids fair at
some day to make great singer.
Prof. ]. T. Layton was never in
better voice and rendered his selec-
ton, "a very difficult one) as is his
custom, with strength and vigor.
Mr.. Felix F. Weir was happy in
his selection and rendered it with
great skill and beauty.
Mrs. Lucy Blagburn, with her usu-
al ease and grace, rendered her Sc
lection very artistically, much to the
pleasure of her many admirers.
Prof. William Braxton was at his
best at the organ, and the round of
applause evidenced that the rendi-
ton was excellent.
To say that Miss Mary L. Eu-
rope was the accompanist Is sufficient.

SINCLAIR DIVORCE
HARNESS MAN GETS
A COURT DECREE
Incompatibility of Temper is the
GrOund-Propery Rights
Adjusted.

Alexander r. Sinclair filed papers
in the superior court Monday asking
for divorce from his wife, Nell Brack-
EFT Sinclair, alleging incompatability
of temper in the complaint.
The divorce was granted and de-
cree filed Monday.
Property rights of the couple have
been adjusted previous to the filing
of the papers. and it is not expected
there will be any contest of the suit.
The property involved includes not
only city realty but also some LANDS
in the country adjoining North Yaki-
ma.
The complaint alleges that Mrs.
Sinclair has been unable to agree
with the family of grown children
by a former wife and that this has
caused the estrangement of the cou-
pie. They were married on June 8,
1900, in North Yakima.

Entrance of the North Coast rail-
road into North Yakima will bring
two transcontinental railroads into
the city to compete with the Northern
Pacific railroad, according to an an
nouncement made Monday evening at
the council session by Attorney H. J..
Snively. The attorney appeared be-
fore the council for the North Coast
and asked an extension in time for
the completion of the railroad into
North Yakima, which was granted.
According to Attorney Snively, the
railroad is now financed and in very
short time there will be announce
ment that the company has secured
its terminal facilities in Seattle, Ia
coma and other coast points. The
terminals in Spokane, secured at a
cost of about 100000, have al
ready been announced.
The city council decided to give
the railroad the extension and the
ordinances were referred to the city
attorney for legal investigation. They
give the road until February 4, 1909,
to complete the first 100 miles of the
line and "a months from that date to

GIRL HOME.
Twelvc-Year-Old Girl Escapes Fiend
Blair.

CHICAGO, Aug. Veronica Cas-
siday. the 12-year-old girl whose
mysterious abduction Thursday
caused unusual police activity in this
city, returned home tonight from
Cincinnati, whittier she had been
taken by her alleged abductor, F. J..
Blair. She told her parents Blair had
placed her aboard train Immediate
ly after leading her away from home
and that they had been in a rooming
house in Ohio City until this morning,
when the man gave her ticket to
Chicago and told her to go home.
That Veronica escaped fate SINH
lar to that of the San Francisco girl
who was similarly abducted and final
ly murderer was due to the publicity
given the case is view generally
held. This theory is born out by the
story of the girl, who said after Blair
had read the newspapers the morning
after their arrival in Cincinnati he
appeared nervous and worried. The
girl could not remember the name of
the hotel Blair took her to, neither
could she recall the name under
which Blair registered. The girl ac-
cused Blair OF having attempted to
mistreat her Friday night.

FOR YAKIMA SYSTEM
City Will Ask Injunction IL Cor
pOration Does Not
Tell.

Resolutions directed against the
Pacific States Telephone G Telegraph
company, and which will result in in
junction proceedings by the city if
not complied with, were passed by
the city council Monday. Assistant
City Attorney Lockhart has been in
vestigating the telephone franchises
of the city, and to facilitate his work
asked the company to explain what
franchise it was working under In
North Yakima.
This brought no definite statement
from the telephone officials, and the
council decided to back up the city
attorneys office by the resolution
calling for the production of state
ment and ordering that If no state
ment is forthcoming the injunction
proceedings to restrain the telephone
company from operating further in
the city will be asked.
The company holds no franchise OF
its own in the city but is operating
under some that were assigned to it.
AS several telephone grants have
been made, the council does not know
which one the corporation should live
up to.

HIT A LONG TRAIL.
Climbed Over Cascade Mountains
With Teams I'm Two
Weeks.

Crossing the mountains from Sc
attic in wagons, A. f. Thompson and
the families of his two sons arrived
in North Yakima Saturday morning
on long trip which will probably
eventually end in some eastern state.
The present destination was declared
by Thompson to be "The Blue Noun
tain Country" near Walla Walla,
but inquiries developed the fact that
the families intended to cross the
deserts and the Rockies to points
further east
The Seattle party had lot of in
teresting experiences in crossing the
Cascade mountains. and said that the
highways we're anything but good for
travel On the way over they passed
the United States infantry companies
that were on the march from North
Yakima to American Lake and have
since arrived at the latter place.

ROMANCE ENDED.
Old Lovers Quarrel is Strengthened
Out and Marriage Follows
Long Trip.

Walter T. Prime and Miss Georgia
Golden were united in marriage Sat
urday evening at the home Of Mr..
and Mrs. E. L. Rich, South Third
street, at o'clock. The wedding
consummates a romance of many
months duration.
Miss Golden is of Indianapolis,
Ind, and the groom is from Oska-
loosa, Iowa. Many months ago the
young people used to know each
other in the east. when lovers
quarrel, like all lovers quarrels,
arising over trihe, caused them I :
become estranged and they went their
separate ways.
Prime came west and apparently
the two had parted forever, but cir
cumstances shaped themselves SO
that the lover in the west saw his
chance and he wired to the girl in
Indianapolis asking that all be for
given.
As fast as electricity could carry
the returned message the two were

Meeting Place is Destroyed and
New Organ Burned in
Conflagration.

The newly organized Christian
church in the Selah valley is without
a place to worship as a result of the
fire of Friday night, which burned
the Selah Trading company buildings,
for the congregation had it's assem-
bly, place in the hall over the store,
where rooms had been fitted up.
Not only was the meeting place
destroyed, but the furnishings as we'll
were lost, including the new church
organ, which was recently purchased
and had been in use only two weeks.
1t is expected that the church will
be able to have a building of it's own
in the near future, but probably I'M
til that can be constructed the con-
gregaion must find some new place
to worship, and there hardly seems
an available place in the little town.

The officials of the railroad say that
no further extensions will be asked,
and this is taken to indicate that the
North Coast will be in working ope-
ration over its own track through 4
part of the state during the winter
Whether this will be new roadbed or
only done through purchase of some
other line is question when Attor-
ney Snivey did not answer.
When the matter of a sidetrack for
Carrot Bros brick yard from the
Northern Pacific railroad came be-
fore the council the subject was re-
ferred to Assistant City Attorney
Lockhart for conference with AttoI-
ney Snively and Attorney Grady, rep
resenting the brick company, for con-
ference The construction of this
track as a permanent arrangement
might inconvenience the new road, as
it crosses its right-of-way, and the
councilmen have no desire to do this.
Another railroad matter that came
before the council brought the state
ment from the North Coast that sub
ways would be constructed at the
main street crossings, including Yak
ina avenue and Chestnut street, and
that all possible grade crossing would
be avoided, thus doing away with
considerable railroad danger.
