county building is in North Yakima
on private business. lie says that
arrangements are being made for a
greater assortment to be sent over
from this county to the building. The
increasing number of visitors at the
fair from this section has been the
means of spi eading to all portions of
the county the idea that the duty to
assist is the duty of good citizenship.
Voluntary offers are coming in more
frequently and there is less difficulty
in procuring the desired articles when
asked for. Mr.. Haasze says the dis
play is steadily improving and will, of
course, as the fruit ripen up.

INDIAN ART FOR A.-Y.-P.
Splendid Collection of Curios. Baskets
Weapons and Such Articles Is
Lent BY Mrs. Lynch.

Yakima county is to have an exhibit
of Indian curios, relics, art and wea-
pons at the county building at the
exposition at Seattle. 1t has been ar
ranged for and is to be installed at
once. Major and Mrs. Lynch, who
own one of the finest collections in the
country, including a large and inter
esting assortment of baskets, have
agreed to lend their collection for the
purpose.
In making the move to procure this
display the people in charge of the
county interests are doing something
which has several times been urged
but not hitherto undertaken. The In
dian is, especially to fasteners one of
the most interesting features of the
west. 1t was pointed out that cor
ner or some convenient space allotted
to Indian art, etc, would attract
many visitors to the county building
who, after they had once been hooked
could easily be landed to take an in
tie, est in other features of the display
made. AS against this idea was ad-
vanced the view that Yakima county
did not want to advertise itself even
"a little, as the home of the Indian but
did want to advertise itself as a fruit
producing section, etc.
Idea VIII Prove Popular.
Whatever the reason that has led
to a change of front the idea of the
Indian exhibit will meet with hearty
favor amongst all those who believe
that the county cannot be injured by
it; that the community will continue
to grow and develop and that the
white man need not fear the compe-
tition. There are those who consider
the aborigine intensely interesting and
worthy of a considerable space in a
not overcrowded building.

QUARREL LAUNCHED OVER
COMPANY TITLE.
Two Local Fruit Land Corporations
to Engage i'm Litigation Over the
Right to Name.

Litigation has begun between the
Columbia Fruit Lands company and
the Columbia River Fruit Lands com
pany, both of which are corporations
composed of local people, and both
of which own land along the Column
bia river in Kittitas county. j. b.
Ernsdorff, DR.. George Sloan, Alex.
Sloan and others are interested in the
company first named and Katherine
E. Van Slyke is the secretary. In the
company named second are j. O.
Jeffrey, DR.. Zediker and others. The
trouble arises over the similarity of
names, and the fact that the lands of
each corporation are in the same Sec
ton and are both to be placed on the
market. The Columbia Fruit Lands
company claims to have been first in
corporated and declares that the use
of an almost identical title by the
other company is calculated to mis-
lead. 1t asks for an injunction
against the use of its name by the Co
umbia River Fruit Lands company.
Across County sunday.
Mcssrs. Ernsdorif, Sloan and their
associates have been across country
to their lands plar.hrng for the in

two levels, the 65-foot level and the
125-foot level.

GROONS ARE MUCH MISLED
Those Who Anticipated the Present
Law and Procured Their DOcu-
nentS Are no Better OF.

Young men of Yakima county who
procured marriage licenses prior TO
the date at which the present law
went into effect and who have not yet
used them are to find themselves up
against a snag. They procured the
licenses in order to avoid the necessity
of presenting to the county auditor
a physicians certificate as required by
the law. In this they succeeded but
that is only half the battle. The law
requires the officiating clergyman or
justice to ask for such a certificate
and it makes no difference to the
clergymen when the license was is
sued. If the marriage takes place after
the law is in effect it's terms must be
complied with, The penalty for vio-
lation of any of the provisions is
$1,000 and even those clergymen who
have become so wealthy as to be
able to lead lives independent of any
pulpit are not prepared to pay that
much for the average fee for a we'd
ding.
CIergymen Take Stand.
1t was announced before the law
went into effect that licenses are good
until used. This is true. There was
a failure to recognize. however. the
responsibility placed by the law upon
the person officiating at the marriage.
The clergymen have recognized this
for themselves and a number have an
nounced their attitude Others
naturally will be very careful.
Three licenses have been issued in
went into effect. This is greatly be-
low the average. There are, on the
other hand, a number of licenses
still unused which were granted just
before the law took effect, the auditor
having granted permission to an I'M
usually large number the last few
days of the operation of the old law
Physicians Fix no Fee.
Some local physicians have been
condemning the existing conditions,
which are driving a number of peo-
pie from the state and into Canada
or other states to be wed. There ap-
pears to exist an opinion that the
physicians have decided on a s25 fee
for the certificates which the law re-
quires. This idea is of course erron-
eous. No fee has been fixed upon. The
county medical association has taken
no action and it is altogether probable
that no such sum will be charged any
applicant before a fixed fee has been
determined upon.

We're Killed by Indians.

The Chinese declared that they
were not doing very well. making
only about Il dollar a day at their
work but Mr.. Schnebly always believ-
ed that they were intentionally leav-
ing wrong impression in order not
to encourage others to share their
field. In addition 90 the canal for
water they had a dam of some $50 or
500 feet from which they got a head
cor the other work they We're carry
ing on.
Then came the Cascade Indian war
and the Indians swept down on the
little band of miners. Some are known
to have been killed and their share
of gold dust taken. The fate of the
balance has always been a sealed
book. Whether they escaped or whe-
Their they all persisted is unknown. AT
any rate the workings were abandon
ed and have never since been attrac-
tive enough to tempt others to try
them. Messrs. Coffin now own the
water rights to the creek. They al
ready have some 200 acres of their
West Bar ranch under cultivation. By
using the old Chinese canal and con-
structing new dam they can bring
some 200 acres more under the in
fluence of water and development.
This they propose to do.

LAND OWNERS MAY PROTEST
Visit OF Senate Special Committee
Will Afford the Opening.

Webb f. Safer, travelling passenger
agent of the Northern Pacific railroad
was in North Yakima Friday on his
way to Sunnyside and Zillah to see c..
II Furman and others in connection
with the proposed Yakima Valley ex-
cursion to Spokane to the National
Irrigation congress. If is the expecta-
ton of Mr.. Furman that in the dis
trict between Ellensburg and Kenne-
wick nearly coo ranchers will be
found who propose to make the trip
to Spokane and many will be accom-
panied by wife or daughter.
The interest in the congress. while
it has not manifested itself in North
Yakima to any degree outside the
newspaper columns, is strong in the
balance of the county, particularly in
the Parker-Z illah district and in and
about Sunnyside. Parker and Zillah,
between them, are to get together a
band of music and the lower valley
people are preparing to participate
in some ways in the parade of the In
duStrial army in order to show to the
people of the east the value the peo-
pie of this section place on the privi-
lege of irrigatng.
Grievances to be Aired.

bringing to light some complaints
against the methods followed in con-
nection with the furtherance of deval-
opment and which. sooner or later

alleged in some places that methods

1t has been reported that the Irriga-
ton congress and the proposed visit
, to this section of the senate commit
tee on irrigation are to be used to
give an opportunity of airing these
grievances.
Real estate men of North Yakima
are considering the advisability of

chinese Were Good Miners.

Something over 40 years ago a party
of Chinese, expert miners who had
been "fortyniners" in California came
to this state and undertook to wash
gold from the deposit of the Columbia
river near the present Coffin West
Bar ranch. They evidently knew
their business and from the ruins left
it would appear that they worked
some sort of a hydraulic system to
wash away the bank. They went II
dozen miles or so back on the Tiki
son creek for their water and their
canal evidently taxed the energies of
the entire party, some 40 in number,
for considerable time. To get their
levels they had to excavate in some
places and fill in others but they did
it and delivered the water at the point
proposed.
That they had good success as min
ers is the t, stimony of Mr. Schnebly OF
Ellensburg who was well acquainted
with them as he did their freighting
He carried their rice and other sup
plies across to them, charging 25 cents
a pound. He was invariably paid in
gold dust and the Chinese appeared
to have lots of it in the buckskin sacks
they displayed when settling their
bills. Mr.. Schnebly got his gold at the
rate of SIC an ounce but il was good
gold and he was able to dispose of it
at $40 and even more at times. In
variably when he was paid for his
treighting he was given dust with
which to buy more supplies and he
