FIVE GOVERNORS
IN LESS THAN YEAR
Washington Has Many Rulers In Few
Months. Says Hays Secretary,
Frank Dallam.

Five men have sat in the governor
chair of Washington since the first of
the year. This interesting bit of news
was conveyed to the people of North
Yakima Monday by Frank Dallam,
private secretary to Governor Hay.
Mr.. Dallam paid brief visit to the
city Monday, meeting few old
friends and making a few new ones.
Politically, there was nothing doing,
according to the genial secretary to
the governor.
1--WE are just recovering from the
tempestuous times of last summer
said Mr.. Dallam. THE most inter-
esting thing in the way of news from
Olympia is the fact that we are now
having our fifth governor since the
first of the year. They are Mead Cos
grove, Coon, Hay and Howell"
Governor Mead, it will be remem-
bered, served until the death of Gov
ernor Cosgrove in California. Dur
ing this time Mead had occasion to
leave the state once and Lieutenant
Governor Coon served. Then came
Governor Hay. Now while he is ma
king the trip down the Mississippi
river with Taft, Secretary of State
Howell is acting governor.

WIRELESS SYSTEM
FOR NILE SECTION
Postmaster James Beck Wants His
NeighbOrs to Adept IL Instead
of the Telephone

Residents of the Nile district arc
agitating to have the telephone line
extended to their section of Yakima
county. They want it and they want
1t badly but the cost, at present. ap-
pears to be beyond the benefits. How
ever the subject is being very gene'-
ally discussed. At the present time
the Nile people are not without COM
municatiOn with the city. The
reclamation service has a phone lire
which passes the Nile postoiiiCe and,
in cases of emergency, the public iS
allowed the use of the line. This
however. is only in case of actual need.
Postmaster James Beck is opposed
to a telephone line now that the wire
less telegraph system is meeting with
great success in all parts of the cous-
try. Mr. Beck when he was in North
Yakima Thursday made an inV' StIga-
ton Of the wireless telegraph station
here with view TO having such =
system installed for the Nile. M.
Beck asserts that he is convinced.
based on his reading. that the wire
les will supplant the telephone in two
or three years. He wants Nile TO be
up-to- date and is preparing facts ana
figures with regard to the wireless sy--
tenn to lay before his neighbors'

WIFE'S TEETH ARE MISSING
County Clerk Barr and Deputy King
Are Asked to Solve Two Sad and
Pathetic Puzzles.

A woman with her three front teeth
a man five feet seven inches
tall and with dark curly hair, and the
knee joint of a coyote are sought by
County Clerk Barr and his Deputy
c. Roy King. 1t is an Oregon man
who wants the man and woman and
it is a man at Alfalfa who wants the
coyote knee. The reason the man and
woman are sought is to protect the
honor of a deserted husband" in
divorce proceedings which are expect
ed. The reason of the search for a
coyote knee is to SOW it to County
Auditor Crockett. Really the zoologi-
cal end of the hunt belongs to Pros
ecuting Attorney Ward but was turned
over to Mr.. King because he lives
nearer to the outskirts of the city and
sometimes drives out to Selah.

BUILD COLLEGE,
DURING NIGHT.
WOrlSmen at New Marquette School
on Fourth and ID Streets Rush
Completion.

Night work on the interior of the
new Marquette college on North
Fourth and East Il streets has been
started, workmen receiving lnstruc-
tons to rush the completion of the
building. The erection of the hand
some stone college building has been
one Of the most rapid pieces of con-
struction work in the city.
Rev. Father Brusten says that the
college will be ready for occupancy
during November, and indications are
that this prediction will be fulfilled.
Work on the large addition to the
St. Elizabeth's academy is also be-
ing hurried and that building Is near
ly completed. These two improve
ments for the Catholic schools in
North Yakima will place them on q
better footing than most of the paro-
chial schools of the state

VALLEY PIONEER VISITS CITY.
Milford ThOrp Became a Resident of
the Mckee as Long Ago as 1868.

Milford Thorp, of Thorp, was
North Yakima visitor Saturday and
exchanged "reminiscences with num-
Der of other pioneers whom he met
here. Mr.. Thorp has been a resident
of this valley for Al years having
come to the Mckee with his father in
1868. when he was nine years old.
He is now an extensive property own
err in and about the town the name
of which is the same as his. Mr..
Thorp says there are active survey
ing operations in progress near Thorp
and the prevailing opinion is that the
Northern Pacific railroad is planning
cutoff from Lind. This line will
pass Ellensburs up and strike in on
the present line of the n. p. about
Thorp and will result in reduction
of 100 miles in the trip from st. Paul
to Seattle. This reduction is essential
now that the Milwaukee road compe-
tition is a fact.

COUNTY BUILDING
COMES TO YAKIMA
state Fair Commissions viii Erect
A.N.-E. structure ON the Grounds
Here for Women OF State.

Yakima County's building at the
Alaska fukon-Facitic exposition is to
be erected on the state fair grounds
south of this city. Excepting for tho
STAFF of which the exterior of the
building is composed, it will appear
here as ii does no the grounds at tho
fair. For state fair purposes the build
ing will become the "Womcn's Build
ing and will be a splendid and wet
come addition to the equipment at
the grounds. The women of the state
have hitherto never had II sufficiently
large building at the state fair, and
the past two or three years their ex-
hibits have considerably overlooked
the space allowed to them.
Hon. s J. Cameron, who is presi-
dent of the state fair commission and
James sharp, who is superintendent
of construction at the fair grounds.
went to Seattle last week and went
all over the Yakima building II is
their opinion that the structure can
be torn down, transported here and
erected against at a cost not to exceed
$1,000. At this price the fair grounds
will get a splendid building which
would otherwise be a waste, as there
is no further use for it and no market
for il.
The building. as il stands at scat
tie, is practically of three stories,
There is Il fine basement and two ca
paciOuS floors above that. The timber
is excellent and, of course, now. Tho
plumbing is elaborate and was in
stalled at considerable expense. When
erected here the structure win be the
cost complete ana best quipped on tho
grounds.

TRANSIT BROKE,
WALKS 80 MILES
ENGINEER MAKES HARD TRIP
ID. X. Poston. Employed OH tcscryD-
ton Travels Over Mountains
Without Food.

Walking so miles over the Cascades
with a 80 pound transit strapped over
his head, then driving 80 miles. all in
one day and without bite to eat,
was the feat of b. r. Poston. a gov
eminent engineer at work on the In
dian reservation. Mr.. Poston STROBE
into the Tieton hotel at exactly $3.50
Monday night, tired and hungry. and
so chilled that he could scarcely
write his name on the hotel register.
Transit Breaks.
A broken transit was the cause of
the long trip. Poston is one of the
party under l.. l.. Dent engaged in
examining the survey of the Yakima
Indian reservation. The transit was
accidently broken and Poston was dis
patched to this city to get another
while the broken one is sent east for
repairs
Leaving the government camp near
the base of Mt. Adams at five o'clock
Monday morning, the young engineer
set out toward Tampico. He assembled
from an elevation of 5000 feet to over
5000 feet then descended into the
upper Ahtanum valley. The trip over
the mountains was all the more diff
ficult because of the snow which in
some place Is six inches deer.
Meets Indian.
At two o'clock in the afternoon,
Poston came upon the camp of an
Indian few miles on the other side
of Tampico where he stopped to rest
Up to this time he had not halted in
his journey and as he lifted the heavy
transit from his head, he became
dizzy and fell to the ground. The
squaw urged her buck to drive Poston
to Tampico which he did, but riding
seemed so good to the engineer that
he induced the Indian to bring him
to North Yakima for a consideration.
The Indian had a good team OF cayus-
IS and the trip to this city was made
in four and a half hours.
Mr.. Poster said that when he start
ed out on the trip he had a loaf of
bread and some bacon under his shirt,
but he had subsisted so long on bacon
that the odor of it made him sick
and he threw it all away.
If he cannot get temporary tran
sit in this city, he will be compelled to
go to Seattle for it, Work will be
halted on the reservation until he gets
back.

then the business of accepting an offer
will be in order.
Tentative bids for the bout began
to come in today. Johnson, who in

the appearance of the city and of the
surrounding country. II have known
Yakima long time said Judge
Whitson, " and 1 have never known it
to look better, either as a city or coun-
try than it does today. 1 sometimes
wonder if the people here appreciate
what a wonderful climate they have. I
suppose the fact that they are here
indicates that they do. 1t is splen-

Messrs Barr and King don't have all
they can do answering telephone calls
from women who want to know if
their divorced husbands have turned
their almony into court. In order to
fill in leisure moments they are re-
quested to do such things as outlined
above. One letter of Friday was from
Oregon and told a sad tale of deser-
ton by toothless wife. But il was
the coyote letter which attracted most
attention.
]. S. Cooper knows the bounty law.
1t says that the foot of a dead coyote
when a bounty is desired shall be cut
off at the knee. Auditor Crocker, ac-
cording to Mr.. Cooper, had refused a
bounty on his trophy because it was
cut off at the wrong joint. Mr.. Coop
ed says that if Mr.. Crocker does not
know which joint of coyote is the
knee joint he is not fit to be auditor.
Wrote Attorney General.
Cooper had written the attorney gem
eral about the matter and the attor-
ney general had tolu him to try again.
Mr. Cooper in his letter gave a rough
sketch of a coyote leg, marking the
joints. He marked the true knee"
and the "Crocker style" He also num-
bered the diagram. His own selection
is No. and he adds. Il will bet IS
No. is the knee and I have 10 old
trappers to back me up" Mr.. Cooper
claims that the bone of the foot is six
inches long. incidentally it may be
said that he will have to produce his
10 trappers for there isn't any person
in the court house prepared to say
that Mr.. Croker is wrong. The
bounty is 81.

FRIED OIL FOR ORCHARD POTS
Yakima Rex Spray Company Decides
to Obtain Material Needed by
Fruit Growers

Fuel oil for orchard fire pots Is to
be handled by the Yakima Rex Spray
company. This was decided upon at
formal meeting of the directors Fri
day. 1t has been decided to sell the
oil, in barrel lots. at six cents per
gallon fob. at the factory. The plant
of the Rex Spray company is equip
ped with a concrete cistern which will
hold two carloads of oil. This makes
it possible for the company to buy
the oil in bulk and thereby sell it to
horticulturists at a price at which

they would be unable to obtain ID if
they purchased it for themselves
direct. As the oil is very penetrating
in its character and can be retained
only in vessels especially constructed
for ii the fact that the Rex Spray
company is provided with the neces-
sary receptacle is fortunate.

the company Friday the information
given out as to the probable number
of Gre pots to be used indicated a very

part of ranchers to avail themselves

MUCH ACTIVITY
ON COLUMBIA
MANY GANGS ARE AT WORK
Go, eminent, North Coast and Private
Operators are Busy East of the
Columbia River.

Sid Noble came to North Yakima
Saturday from the east side of the
Columbia river and brings with him a
tale of considerable activity on the
part of surveying crews working for
the federal government and also of
various aggregations working for cor
porations or for private firms. Just
what all the activity means is not
clear. but the fact remains that tho
crews are busy. Mr.. Noble says also
that the Hanford plant has had a
splendid and successful season and has
been closed to pumping operations
but four hours since it began in the
spring.
Government Men at Work.
One crew of engineers seen by Mr.,
Noble were surveying for an irrigation
ditch in the Frenchmans Ridge and
Quincy Flat country, the water to be
carried down from some of the lakes
in the north, advantage to be taken of
natural waterways part of the dis
lance. Two gangs were at work near
the head of Priest Rapids and We're
measuring the flow of water in the
river at that point and also taking ac-
count of the conditions, physical and
otherwise. This. it was understood,
was preliminary to operations looking
to the opening up of the river to navi-
cation.
Strahorn Men Are Busy.
gang of Strahorn workers was
also at the Rapids making prepala-
tons for a power plant which 1t Is
understood will be placed in operation
there. Another Strahorn gang is at
work erecting a large warehouse near
the head of the Rapids. All this is on
the east side of the river. Operations
are also being carried on by crew OF
surveyors and workmen who are ope-
rating in the interests of firm or
Spokane people who are establishing "a
private irrigation ditch.
The country, Mr. Noble says, Is
looking excellent. Development is
steady and becoming more rapid. The
territory is so dry as to be really
''prohibition" in its sentiment regard
ing all liquid, but IL is admitted That
the conditions are abnormal this year.
