ITS AFFAIRS IN A TANGLE.
Special Meeting Of Hardware g. Wood
enWare Co. s Stockholders to Be Held

A special meeting of the stockholders
of the National Novelty corporation will
be held in Jersey City Monday at 10 a.
m, to act upon the report OF the special
stockholders committee with reference to
the sale OF the property OF the Hardware
& Woodenware Manufacturing company
and to consider ways and means for the
protection of the interests of the stock
holders and creditors of this concern. As
was stated in The Reformer last week the
receiver of the Hardware & Woodenware
company has received from parties who
are stockholders and creditors of the cor
poration an offer for II of the l5 plants.
The amount offered is S440,375, and ac
cording to figures sent out by the secre-
tary the property embraced in this offer
is valued at $l,526,3l9.7l. The notice sent
out by the secretary in calling the spe-
cial meeting states that this offer will
not be sufficient to pay the creditors IN
full and will extinguish the equity of the
stockholders. The offer is to be submit
ted to Judge ]. L. Martin of the United
States court at a hearing in New York
June 9.
Local people who are in close touch
with the affairs of the Hardware 4 Wood
enware company say that a spirited con-
test is on between the receiver, Nicholas
7. Colwell. and the managers of the va
rious plants in the combine. Many of
the managers are of the opinion that the
of the corporation will real
ize nothing on their holdings in any event
and are anxious to purchase the plants as
in order that the business may
be continued. However this may be there
is little doubt that the sale of the plants
would be the best thing that could hap
pen as far as Brattleboro is concerned,
for the man who is anxious to buy the s.
A. Smith company's property stands |
ready to begin operating the plant on full
time and eventually with a larger force
han has ever been employed in the fac
,ory.

September.

Hearing Of the petition of the In

for franchise through Union Gap
and the contrary contentious of the
Yakima Valley Transportation com

gap for its Sunnyside line, was de-
ferred again Monday by the board of

ject will not be taken up again until
September.
President Lombard and Engineer
Noble of the Intervalley were present
at the meeting and Attorney J. o.
Gull represented the Yakima Valley
Transportation company. The COM
have been inspecting
plans presented by 10Th railroads for
their lines, and decided not to take
up the subject until later, as there
was no apparent need of settling the
question this month.

CLAIMS INJURY WHILE
STEPPING ON ELEVATOR
Asks for $4,000 Damages As Result
of Accident In Miller
Building.

Claiming $4,000 damages as a re.
suit of an elevator accident in the
Miller building, Mrs. J. G.. Flannary
will start suit today in the superior
court against Alexander Miller, own
er of the building. The papers have
been prepared by her attorneys, Gull,
Luse & Davis and are now ready for
filing.
Mrs. Flanary claims that she was
in the office of DR.. j. B. Burns, and
left there to take the elevator to the
ground floor The elevator boy an
swered the button summons, and
brought the car to the floor, and Mrs.
Flannary stepped in. She did not no.
tice she claims, that the elevator
was about a foot below the level of
the floor and when she stepped she
fell Her ankle was injured, some of
the ligaments being broken and 9TH
ers strained.
From this injury, which happened
in November, Mrs. Flanary has not
recovered
The suit is the first to result from
any elevator in North Yakima, al
though some minor accidents have
happened on various occasions.

PRICES ON PEACHES.
Apples Will Probably Bring About
$1.5O a Box, According to
Dealers


When the first shipping peaches,
the Early Alexanders, are placed on
the market in North Yakima, there
will probably be price of fifty cents
box for the good quality fruit.
While no price has been decided up
on, the local market will probably
be guaged to considerable extent
on the prevailing California figures,
and these show that there is little
prospect of any better figure.
Elberta and Crawford peaches may
bring some slightly higher figure.
though this is not certain. The very
early peaches, those which will not
stand shipping for any long distance.
will not be placed at even as high
basis.
Apples will be started at a basis
of $3.50 box for standard, with
slightly higher for the very fancy
pack. The price will not be higher
than $1.75 under any conditions.
Manager Sampson of the Horti-
cultural Union says that the season
is too early for any estimate on the
prices though he expects first peach
shipments within ten days. He be-
lieves thta there will be little pros
pect of better price than fifty cents,
and perhaps only forty cents box
for peaches

Another matter which should be

a blooming garden, but from the
standpoint of what has to be accom-
plished in the beginning, it is plainly
evident to anyone that scheme of
Identification has been laid out and
developed to a point which i'm a few
years time will be in its way as much
of a pride to North Yakima as is Mob
Hill.
And Mr. Steinweg has not stinted
his plan of development. He pro-
poses to dam up the little streams
which flow through the property and
dredge them to permit of canoeing,
to dredge out the channel of the
river and make it wide enough for
boat races. to provide canoes and
boats build macadam drives, pro-
vide benches and swings and perhaps
make a baseball diamond A little
artificial lake has already been start
ed and Is filled with water fed from
nearby springs which may be used
both for skating in the winter and
canoeing in the summer. Electricity
will later be brought to the park to
afford light in the evening. If pos
sible the Transportation company
will be induced to build east on Maple
street to Tenth street so that car
service may be brought within
short distance of the park site
Boats and boat house are now be-
ing built and the park will be thrown
open to the public and no charge
made for admission, Immediately.
Only those who knew the condition
of the spot previous to a month ago
can fully appreciate how much work
has been done to make it at all suit
able for use this season, but anyone
with half an idea of such matters
can easily understand what a beau
tiful spot it will become in a year or
two. Situated as North Yakima is,
subject to the direct heat of the sun
for two severe summer months, a
cool shaded park, secluded from dust
and heat, with plenty of water for
boating and swimming, will be great
ly appreciated and become in time a
place of pleasant refuge for all when
an hours recreation is offered.
Too much can not be said in
praise of Mr.. Steinweg, who has de-
voted so much money and time to the
working out of this plan. Cities of
North Yakima's size are few indeed
which can boast of a better example
of public spirit. Like the blossoms
in the spring time the work thus far
only gives slight token of the golden
harvest to follow later on.
