COUNTY BUYS.
Carload OF Material Is Ordered 70,
improvements in Lower End
of Valley.

One carload of corrugated iron
piping, including 3lG0 feet of the
iron tubing. has been ordered for
the improvement OF road and ditch
conditions in the lower part Of the
Yakima valley, the county commits
sioners having arranged Saturday for
the purchase OF this material for
Road District No. 8.
This road district is the same ter
ritory as the Third commissioner S
district and the purchase was made
at the request of Commissioner Lee
may. The pipe will be used in build
ing of culyerts and siphons in the
lower district. and Commissioner Lee
may expressed himself as believing
that the result would be consid-
cradle Improvement for roads.
The piping was purchased from
Beall & Co. of Portland, and the con-
sideration was $3742. 1t is antici-
pated that later other purchases will
be made for other districts and that
corrugated iron will become the fu-
ture piping of the county road work
as It is more substantial than either

SUMMIT VIEW ROAD.
County Commissioners Grant In.
creased Width and Street Car
Car Line Is Now Assured.

Paving of the Summit View road
from the Hubbard ditch, where the
Estate aid macadam ends, to the
Congdon ditch. a distance of nearly
two miles. is being planned by a
number of the leading Mob Hill
ranchers and the first step toward
this was taken on Saturday when the
Mob Hill men asked the county COM
missioners to widen the road by four
feet, to grant the right to the car
company to build track in the cen
ter of the road, and to aid in grading
the roadway. Petrothilic paving will
be used. The two mile stretch would
cost approximately SIS, 800.
The Improvement is the most cost
ly piece of road building ever under
taken in Yakima county, and will re-
suit in the Summit View thorough
fare beirS the finest in the state
The ranchers along this roadway,
who hold the most valuable land in
the state of Washington and live on
small tracts, have been DESTROYS of
securing a street car line for several
years. The fact that the land was
so valuable and that the houses were
so near the road kept them from CIV
ing the right of way to the Yakima
v,1to,. characterization cnmpany An
agreement has been reached, how
ever, by which each landowner from
the Hubbard ditch to the Congdon
ditch surrenders a strip two feet deep
long his entire frontage, giving an
additional two feet dec of width
for the roadway and making road
so feet in width.
The street car company, it is un-
derstood. is willing TO build line
in the center of the roadway and the
commissioners are now prepared to
grant such a franchise.
Plans of the ranchers contemplate
a paving twelve feet in width on each
side OF the car tracks. and while this
is an expensive job. they feel that
they are justified in making the heavy
expenditure.

GEO. C. WAIT IN
TOLLS FOR FORGERY
Well Known Resident Arrested
by Government Officials for
Signing Treasury Check

ives who were looking up a number
of charges that have been made
against him, among which were over
charging while agent of Wells Fargo
and Company in this city and also
the purloining of several amounts of
bullion consigned to the U. 8. Mint
here. The Investigations have been
in the hands of Detective Cain of the
Express Company and his associates.
A couple of nights ago the mother,
wife and child of Mr.. Waite left this
city for the coast and while in the
car with them he was approached by
an officer and told not to make an at
tempt to leave thecity. Probably be-
lieving that he might try and follow
his family, immediate action was TAX
en- by the detectives with the result
that he is now in the city Jail and will
remain in confinement until he Sc
cures bail to the amount of $500.
Waite came here from Portland to
take charge Of the local express Of
fee and was soon followed by his
wife and child. They made many
friends here and are we'll known.
A couple of months ago a bar of bull
lion shipped to the mint here disap-
peared and when the detectives on
the case arrived suspicion pointed to
Waite. Investigations were started
and with them came the knowledge
that he had been overcharging the
patrons Of the company in this city
and had been pocketing the money.
When these irregularities were dis
covered Waite was taken before the
detectives and after sweating was
allowed to keep his freedom with the
understanding that he make no at
tempt to leave the city.
Since that time the men have been
at work gathering the evidence
against him and freely state that the
evidence Is conclusive.
The offense for which he has been
arrested is the forging of the name OF
Oscar Schultz on treasury note No.

party for bullion sent to the U. s.

City Of Reno
Loses Suit

RENO, December 12.-Judge Pike
has decided against the City Of Reno
in the suit brought against Sam Gee,
Chinaman, by the city, to prevent
him from leasing a building on Sec
ond Street, known as the "Cafferatta
Building to women of the half-world
In dissolving the injunction Judge
Pike ruled that the ordinance passed
by the city making it a misdemeanor
for fast woman to live in any part
of the city other than the portion set
apart for women of that class and
leased to the women by company
composed of Reno men, was illegal
and could not be enforced This will
give the women a right to enter the
Cafferatta building without danger of
arrest.
BY the ordinance James May, F. J..
Peck and other men of Reno, sue
ceeded in making women pay them
leage rentals for their buildings, as
the law prevented the women from
living in any other part of the city.

AFTER CAT
TIE Thieves
State Police to Assist ir,
Breaking Up Active
Band

RENO, Nevada, December 12-
Sheriff Charles Emerson of Lassen
County, California, and Captain Cox
of the State Police left yester
day morning for the Pyramid Lake
country where they will spend sever
al days in an effort to round up a
gang of cattle thieves that have been
operating for some time in the vicin-
ity of the lake, Amadee and Milford
A number of the State Police accom-
panied the officers.
Some time ago complaint was made
to Sheriff Emerson by stock owners
living near the State line that numer-
Gus raids had been made on their cor
rails and large number of cattle stol-
en-. The owners thought that the
thieves had driven the stock into Ne
vada and had it pastured somewhere
near Pyramid Lake.
Investigation made shortly after
the complaint was registered resulted
in finding traces, but no thieves.
Sheriff Emerson secured the country
with his deputies, but failed to discov-
er the hiding place of the men he was
after. He finally called on Captain
Cox for aid and authority in beating
the country.
The officers are well-armed and ex-
pect to fight if the thieves are cor
nered 1t is hoped to come on them
unawares, however, and thus do away
with trouble. Guides will be obtain
ed in the northern country and there
is little doubt but that the criminals
will be located.
