TO Get in Touch With Plans for
Big Exhibit.

The annual meeting of the govern
ing board of the Commercial club
was held on Tuesday evening and
the report of Secretary H. P. James,
extracts of which have already been
published. was read. The work of
the past year was discussed infor-
mally and also PORTIONS of the pro-
gram as already mapped out for the
ensuing year The new governing
board will take office on February

A hard campaign for new members
is to be waged during the month of
February, the entrance fee having
been placed at $40 for this length of
time as is the annual custom. Dur
ing that period all of the new corners
to the city will be asked to join in
the good work of the organization.
The county wide movement for

hand at the general meeting this ev-
ening. when the A-Y.-P. plans will

FRESH EGGS
ENJOY RISE
SCARCE AT SOC PER DOZEN
Restaurants, Hotels and Bars on Still
Hunt for Barnyard Product
No Relief in Sight.

Fresh ranch eggs which have been
a luxury in North Yakima markets
for six weeks have taken another
jump, selling at IS cents per dozen,
with good indications that the egg
barometer will go still higher. Res
taurants. hotels and saloons that make
a speciality of drinks with eggs as a
component part have been gather
ing up the available supply to satisfy
the demands of the public taste, and
are having hard struggle. Fresh
eggs are a rarity, and even the east
ern case eggs are not as plentiful as
formerly, owing to the dislike of a
fastidious public.
The hens of Yakima county have
gone on strike according to well
known poultrvman. who is at a loss
to explain the long continued egg
drouth. He has over 200 chickens
and for six weeks his hens have not
laid enough eggs to pay for their
keen. The sound market is also in
the grip of an egg famine and orders
have been placed with local commits
sion men for fresh eggs, which are
not likel yto be supplied soon.

SELECT FIRTH
AS SECRETARY
President Splawn and Manager Ran
kin Are Again Selected for
Those Positions.

H. NJ. Firth, who has been assist
ant secretary OF the Yakima Valley
Transportation Co. for the past year,
was elected OH Tuesday by the board
of directors as secretary of the cor
poratiou. He succeeds Murray Is.
Miles, who occupied the position OF
secretary from the formation of the
company until Tuesday.
Other officers of the company were
all reelected, A. j. Splawn being
again chosen to head the company
as president. George S. Rankin, vice
president and manager, was re-elect-
ed, and will continue to have active
charge OF the company's affairs.
No changes were made in the
board of directors for the year. the
following having been chosen for
those offices: A. J. Splawn. George
S. Rankin, J. o. Gull. c. G. Fletcher,
w. p. Sawyer, Alex Miller and A. e.
Larson.
The promotion of Secretary FIRTH
is one which has been anticipated for
some time. His connection with the
street railway company dates from
the time that the offices were first
opened in the Miller block two years
ago. Last winter he was made as
sistant secretary, taking much OF the
work that was accommodating in that
office.
The appointive officers will be re-
tanned as heretofore, with E. VI. Ken
ly as chief engineer; Nicholas A.
Gilman as resident engineer, and J.
o. Gull as attorney.

BROTHERS MARRY
MOTHER AND DAUGHTER
Al Miller IL Popular Bartender
Marries Rich Widow and Brother
Chooses Her Daughter.

In connection with the purchase Of
the Christianson property at the cor
ner of A and Front streets there is
story involved. Mrs. Julia Hess
recently sold her vest side lodging
house to the North Coast and pur-
chased another 81 g for hotel at the
above mentioned place. The city
council was petitioned for the right
to use part of the wall of the city
hall as i. party wall and quick action
was wanted because it is planned TO
start the new structure Immediately.
After a long setto in the council
on Monday evening a basis of agree
ment was reached and in this connec-
ton 1t leaked out that AL Miller. who
presides at the Washington bar one
shift each day, married Mrs. Hess and
that his younger brother married her
daughter. The family, owing to the
increase in value of city property, is
worth a good many thousand dollars.

The work of organizing the fruit
packing classes will be under the
direction of Secretary Turner of the
Y. NJ. c. A. and all persons who desire
to join the classes should mako ap-
plication to him. The fee of $3.50
in advance will be collected by Mr..
Turner, and a students certificate
issued to each applicant. All per-
sons of either sex over 16 years Of
age. who desire to become fruit pack
ers, are eligible to apply for the ben-
efits Of the training.
The course given for the $3.50 fee
will include IL lessons and classes
will be held three times a week.
There will be no free list, and all
tuition fees must be paid in advance.
The appointment of an instructor for
the classes has not been decided up
on by the committee but it is highly
probable that James Blakely of the
Yakima Horticultural union will he
the man selected.
In case there are sufficient applI-
cants to justify the opening Of an
evening school in fruit packing this
step will be taken by the committee
in charge. If the. interest is large
arrangements will he made for the
additional terms to the one now out,
lined The course In fruit packing
now under way has no connection
with the Yakima Horticultural Un-
ion, and a school free to all stock
holders of the horticultural union
may be started later.

SECOND TRIAL FOR BURGLARY
COlored Man Escaped on Technically
mt First Hearing, Getting New
Trial

Ray White, the colored man who
was tried and found guilty during the
winter. but was granted new trial
on a technicality, was again tried
and declared guilty in the superior
court Tuesday. The conviction was
the first criminal trial in the superior
court since Prosecuting Attorney
Ward and Deputy Moren have taken
charge of the prosecution work of
Yakima county.
The colored man entered the home
of Charles o. Talbert on South Sec
ond street on the night of November
l. according to the evidence that was
submitted. In the first trial, the
question as to whether he entered
in day time or in night time figured
to considerable extent, and the
technicality caused Judge Preble to
grant the new trial.
The second trail did not take
much time, the jury of Il men being
quickly secured and the evidence
submitted in much similar form to
that OF the previous heafrg.

DASH CAN NOT
DEDICATE ROAD
DECISION OF SUPRtMi COURT
William Auaniller's Request for Per-
nanent Injunction Will BE
Granted.

Through supreme court decision
handed down at Olympia this week
the issue of permanent injunction
restraining l.. A. Dash from dedicat-
ing private roadway through the
William Aumiller property as a pub
lie highway is certain.
The case is one which has attract
ed considerable attention and covers
a vital law point. When certain
lands southwest of the city were held
by the Ontario Land Co., right of
way was secured by A. S. Congdon
and his associates over the Aumiller
place
Dash purchased the property and
the right of way, which was for a
private road, from the land company.
and later attempted to dedicate the
right of way as public highway.
Aumiller started injunction pro-
ceedings in the superior court, and,
as Judge Prehle was disqualified
through the fact that he had pre-
pared the complaint for AumiIler
while actively practicing. Judge
Kaufman of Ellens burg tried the
case.
Judge Kaufman decided that the
injunction should not be issued and
that Dash had right to dedicate the
road as a public highway ii he so de-
sired. The case was appealed by
Aumiller, and the decision was re-
versal of the lower court.
In the case Gull, Luse G Davis rep
resented Aumiller and Lee c. Dele
represented Dash as attorneys.
