What Organic Act Requires.

IL is set forth by Mr. Fiannery that the
organic act does not require the Commits
sioners 10 accept the lowest responsible
proposal for the whole work covered 10y
the advertis ement for proposals. but only
the lowest responsible proposal for each
particular kind and character Of pave
ment or other work. The Commission
ers simply exercised discretionary
power vested i'm them by dividing the con-
tract In question.
The second legal point mentioned by Mr..
Flannery Is tine power of the Commits
sionefs To cancel orders 10 proceed with
the work accompanied hy grade sheets
delivered 10 the Crawford Paving Company
under Its contract of MAY =. 1901.
On this point MIR. fannery says: 1t
clearly appears from the evidence that 1t
has been the long tablished practice OF
the department to issue two entirely dis
tinct classes Of orders for street work In
order to &c the proposed work listed
upon the books of the department and to
give reasona Die notice Of required changes

found necessary to issue a preliminary

TULEE MUST PAY.
Indians Mixed Up Testimony May
Result in Sale of
Lands.

David Tulee. the Indian who has
come into prominence by his adver-
Using for a white. son-in-law, must
pay a heavy judgment that has been
filed against him in the county
clerks office, although he protests
that he has paid the note held by
Hubbard Stewart company once.
The judgment was the result of ,
mix-up in the evidence of Tulee, who
gave contrary evidence on the wit
ness stand to that which he gave for
the legal papers which were filed by
his attorneys. Tulee claimed on the
stand that he had never signed a
note in evidence. although he had
previously and has since stated that
he paid the note once.
Whether the company can secure
payment of the judgment is ques-
ton with attorneys. as his principal
holdings are a government allotment,
and 1t is possible the government
will prevent any sale OF this land.

MUST REBUILD.
Washed Out Above Fruityalc and
Gravel stopped Water Power
Canal.

approximately three miles Of the
Naches and Cowiche canal, common
~ known as the Hubbard ditch, must
be rebuilt, according to a decision
made at a meeting OF the officials Of
the company held Wednesday after
noon. President Luce was directed
to Immediately proceed with the
work, and by engaging a large force
of men it is hoped to have the work
completed in about a month, al
though it may take longer.
In addition to the rebuilding Of
the canal, the company must imme-
diately start the removal Of an i'm
mense gravel pile from the North
west Light < Water company's
canal, just above Fruitvale At first
it was thought that there We're no
breaks in the canal as a result Of the
heavy floods, but an examination
showed that 50 rods above the
Northwest canal had been washed
away and the gravel and dirt carried
into the lower canal.
This Immediately stopped the fox
in the big canal which supplies water
for the Union. Broadgauge, Shanno
Fruityale Shame and the North
Yakima Milling company bitches A
minor head has since been secured
over the bar but not sufficient for
the usual supply
President Luce says that the en-
tire cost of the work Will be over
$1,000, and it is probable that an
extra assessment will be necessary
on the lands supplied by the canal.
Even under these conditions, how
ever. the assessment will not be rs
heavy as under some canals for the
entire year

are sustaining because of the poor
quality Of their cows, asks the ques.
ton very frequently: "What is a
good bull WORTH" He shows by
facts and figures that a farmer can
we'll afford to pay $3.50 for a good
bull to use on a herd of common
cows and then make a large profit
by the investment The figures are
correct, because the facts are all
about us in confirmation, but the
great mass of farmers are still I'M
convinced
There is not farmer in the coun-
try that will wink even at paying
$3.50 for a good horse simply for the
work there is in him. Teams are
selling in this section for from 5000
to $500.
1t is a strange judgment Of values
that will hesitate at paying that
price for an animal that will put
more selling value and more milk
production into a herd for years to
come. But we see It every day In
other things. That blind worship of
cheanness, what a curse it is to the
farmer. How it clouds his vision.
puts shackles on his feet and man
acles on his hands. Many farmers
are afraid OF the ridicule OF their
neighbors if they should pay the
price a good bull Is worth. But as
Professor Fraser says, there stand
the facts.
Hundreds of farmers have broken
through the hedge of humbug notion
by buying first-class bulls; have i'm
proved their herds wonderfully in
milk producing capacity: have added
from % to so per cent to the selling
value of every COW and heifer and
stand ready to testify to the wisdom
Of their course. The demand for
well bred dairy bulls is increasing.
An animal that contains the right
breeding power is cheapness person
flied at $50. No horse on earth ever
began to earn in net money as much
for his expense as will a good bull.
over $500, 900 year is coming
into this, Jefferson county, steadily
because the farmers saw the point,
purchased registered bulls and went
to grading up their herds. Carload
after carload of grade Holstein and
Guernsey heifers go out as a testi-
mony to the soundness of our state
ment. Sure enough, what is a good
bull worth?

AHTANUM RIGHTS.
Agreement Between Government aud
Water Users Filed at Court
House

The voluminous contract between
the Ahtanum water users and the
United States government regarding
the use OF the waters Of the Alta
mum creek has been filed with the
county auditor, having been properly
signed by the representatives of the
water users and bv the government
officials.
According to this contract, the
government is to have % per cent
Of the water Of the creek for irriga-
ton of lands on the reservation AMI
rs per cent Of the water is 10 te
taken by the other water users along
the creek.
The filing Of the contract and
agreement settles for all time the
troubles along Ahtanum creek re-
garding water rights and sets the
minds of many land owners at rest.
1t ends litigation over the water
rights and assures the complete and
proper irrigation OF lands from
Tampico to the Yakima river, and
even back to Tampico to the noun

MARVELLOUS SKILL
Shown in the Treatment Of All
Chronic Diseases by
Or. Danin
The Most Successful Physician Ever
in North Yakima.

Since the advent in this city of
Dr.. Darrin, the great specialist, who
has recently returned to North
Yakima, the excitement not only in
this vicinity but wherever any of the
numerous patients he has relieved
can be found, has been most intense.
The old story-the lame walk, the
deaf hear, the blind see-has been a
reality in our midst, and what would
be secuted as too marvellous to lie
true is now demonstrated in too pal
pable manner to leave room for the
slightest doubt or uncertainty. That
the doctor has achieved a vast
amount of good in this community
no one will attempt to deny, who has
given the subject the slightest inves-
tigation.
When Dr. Darrin first arrived he
advertised very extensively, and the
cry went up that there was some
catch in it, Then he cured one case
that was considered hopeless, and
surprise was felt. After that the
very worst cases in existence were
given him as a test by all doubters.
If he cures this one l will believe it
the doubters echoed, and after treat
ment the patient was as sound as a
dollar.
Then they gave him another test
case, and another, and so on, but al
with the same result. He effected a
cure in nearly every instance. Then
the doctors terrible rush of patients
began, and the stream grew every
day during his stay, numbering some
of the best people in the state.
A visit to the office Of DR.. Darrin
was certainly a curiosity. Patients
are carried in one day and after a
week S time instead of being carried
there, they walk in as sprightly as
young boys. What there is about
him is certainly mysterious. for re
has performed most remarkable
cures, as the testimonials we have
heretofore published have proved.
DR.. Darrin gives free and con-
fidential examinations and consulta-
lions to all at his offices in the post
office building, corner Chestnut and
South Second street, from 10 a. m.
to 5 p. m. daily. The doctor treats
all durable acute, chronic, nervous
and complicated diseases of whatever
nature in either sex.
All female troubles, deafness,
catarrh, bronchitis, consumption,
dyspepsia. skin diseases, heart, liver,
kidney and piles a speciality. Out #

success after one visit to his office ;

STEIMWEG'S PARK IS /:
PROVING POPULAR
Hundreds Listen to Concert Given
by Frank Y. Naglers
/ Band.

Popularity of Sumach Park, and
the appreciation of the enterprise of
w. L. Steinweg in opening it for the
public was shown again Sunday
when hundreds of people were at the
grounds and listened to the concert
given by Nagler's band.
Not only did the visitors attend
the band concert but dozens made it
a point to bring picnic lunches and
to enjoy the evening in the woods
and along the streams. The four new
boats that have been placed on the
lagoons were in constant use, and
many people who had never previous
ly had boat ride during their life
were given the treat at Sumach
park.
Considerable change is to be seen
each week on the grounds, as new
roads are being made and the old
ones are being graveled.
Frank Nagler, director of the
band, has suggested to Mr.. Steinweg
that a change be made in the hour
of the concerts for the comfort Of
visitors who must walk or ride TO
the park in the heat of the day, and
it is possible that in the future band
concerts will be given at $50 or Z
O'Clock in the evening. People who
want to find a comfortable and cool
place on warm day make no mis-
take in selecting Sumach park, which
is certain to become the favorite
picnic ground and park for the city.
