CONVICT GROWS RICH
BY DEALING IN STOCKS.

After Being Sentenced.

NEW YORK, Dec. 24.-Alphonse
j. Stephania, the wealthies dead"
man in New York state, is fast be-
coming a millionaire, although ne can
not spend a cent of his income.
In the supreme court this week
Justice Seabury granted the petition
of the Trust company of America,

property to sell the rights he possesses
to subscribe to new stock of the Pen

prison, where ne has spent the last

over $500, 900. He was sentenced to
prison for life for numbering former
Judge Clinton G. Reynolds, whom he
accused of having treated him unfairly
in business. His mother died soon
afterward, leaving him $4,000. His
father also left him $4,000.
With this capital Stephania con-
ceived the plan of making Wall street
yield him revenue that might one
day be the means of opening the
prison doors for him. From time to
time he wrote to relatives advising
them to make certain investments for

NEXT ISSUE
REGISTRATION IiMf IS SHORT
Citizens Are Freely Discussing Situa-
ton Which Council Has Placed
Before People.

Now chat the question of licensing
the saloons has got up to the dnai
stage, that of voting, the thoughts of
citizens are beginning to turn to the
next election, watch will be January
81, and which will decide whether
the city of North Yakima is to pul'
chase the water works at "A cost of
$4,000 Discussion of the subject
is very free in some quarters and one
of the phases discussed is whether
the period for registration allowed
is sufficiently long to permit of a fair
expression of opinion at the polls.
Registration as it now exists on the
books of City Clerk Brooker ceases
with the final days of December IN
der the law Mr.. Brookcr must open
his books again on the first Monday
in January. which will be the second
day of that month for the new regis
tration. He must close them 10 dava
prior to the special election on tho
question of bonding for the purchase
of the water works. This will leave
just Is days on which voters may reg
lister. The subject is one which in
terests every business man, every
properly owner. ever renter In the
city OF North Yakima. The question
is can these people. without immense
loss of time. register within the fifteen
days which the city council has al
lowed them before the books close.
If there is any likelihood of a large
registration there will be most GER
tainly lineup at the office of the
city clerk and many people viii not
wait in line but will turn away. I'm
less extra ordinary conditions prevail
a registration in excess of so n dav is
unlikely which means that $50 people
will register as against $500 now on
the books. These $50 will be the
voters and a majority of them will de-
eide the question one way or another.
The situation contains one phase
we'll worthy of careful public COW

TO SHORTEN YAKIMA
IN K|TT|TAS COUNTY
Trade Paper Announces Most Unusual
Contract to Control Flow of
Yakima River.

Commissioners of Kittitas county,
according to the Pacific Builder, have
entered into a contract with Messrs.
Beckwith, Hubbell e. Co. for the con-
structIon of a concrete flume ''to carry
the waters of the Yakima river
through Kittitas county" The flume,
according to the Pacific Builder, is to
be so feet wide and 40 feet deep and
will shorten by 90 miles the course of
the old winding river channel through
the county.
The news outlined in the foregoing
paragraph has been read with great
deal of interest by people in Yakima
who are subscribers for the paper
named and there has arisen considera-
BILE discussion as to what is meant.
The paragraph is definite in every par
ticular except that it fails to mention
the contract price, which is probably
many millions and rather more than
Kittitas is likely to spend in the near
future for the purpose named. How
ever. as the ciizens and commissioners
of Yakima county are greatly inter
ested in the Yakima river and methods
of holding 1t within bounds. they are
DESTROYS of le,taing more about the
plans of the ne ghboring county.

LOGS TAKEN
BY RANCRERS
FROM BANKS ut mt RiVtR
Drift From the Pond of the Cascade
Company Is Disappearing From
Below the Gap.

Logs which went adrift from the
pond of the Cascade Mil company
when the gates broke recently. and
which stranded along the banks of
the Yakima below Union Gap. are
being carted away by some people OF
the lower valley There are many
logs along the river bottom and APP
parently many people who want them.
For the most part these are people
who live back from the banks and
not those on whose property the logs
are stranded. Reports which have
been brought to the city are to the
effect that 1t is easy to lind wagons
loaded with logs vending their way
across the reservation. II is also said
that some planking which the county
left near the Toppenish Toll bridge
has found its way to Zillah.
Ranchcrs Make Complaints.
Some effort is being made by the
Cascade company to recover some OF
the logs which went adrift and 1t Is
understood that a number have been
hauled into Parker to the railroad
tracks to be loaded on cars and
brought to the city. Some ranchcrs
have made complaints OF the con
ditions which have arisen because of
the drift logs. Their fences, they say.
have been broken, posts knocked over
and other damage done on the part
Of people who are anxious to get to
the river to procure some Of the drift
which Is rtill lying there These con-
dltions they point out, arc injurious
to them and they regret that earlier
steps were not taken by the milling
eifhcr to recover or aban-
don It's property It IS Contended that
practically every ranchcr along the
river front on whose property logs
stranded is willing not only that the
company should recover them but
for a small price per load would haul
them to the railroad siding. This
would protect the fences, etc. and
trcspassing which has been reported.

wherever possible, be made in person
Members of the Washington Wool
Growers association have been in
vited, according to letters received by
the secretary, II. Stanley Coffin. to at
tend at Ogden, Utah, January 5, at
the meeting of the National Wool
Growers association, at which time a
number of matters will be considered
some of them of national importance,
of interest to the sheep men. Among
the subjects will be the forest reserve,
sheep diseases and wool legislation
Secretary Dan p. Smythe of Pendle-
ton of the Oregon Wool Growers as.
sociation III II letter to Mr.. Coffin calls
attention to federal regulations which
viii require rhe dipping of sheep sent
from one state to another even when
from non-infected districts. Wash
ington sheep, therefor, sent to Mon
tana, will have to be dipped.
There are 40 bands Of sheep in
the Yakima valley, Mr.. Smythe says,
reported to be troubled with foot and
mouth disease. He adds, however.
that this trouble, which includes all
mouth trouble, has been present for
years in almost all bands and has
never been serious but he points out
that under the regulations imposed
and which will prevail if not changed
n hardship may be inflicted upon
many breeders.
DR.. S. b. Nelson OF the state college
also writes to Mr.. Coffin suggesting
action by the woolgrowers, in con-
junction with the state live stock
breeders, looking towards action in
the nature of uniform state laws re-
garding the diseases of animals and
veterinary inspection. He points out
that while there is no scab among the
Washington sheep. still. under the
regulations they must be dipped be-
fore being shipped to Montana
United States Stock Inspector Ham
iltun rapor"7 that the Yal1i~c7 sheep
are in excellent condition and while
there are traces of foot and mouth
ailments they are not serious. Mr..
Coffin says that this mouth ailment
exists in all sections where young
sheep are under the necessity OF
eating frosty grass but that it disap-
pears when the animals. get on good
fresh grass.
1t is probable that the Washington,
Wool Growers, at the time they meet
the forest supervisor here next month,
will elect a president to succeed the
late S. ]. Cameron, who was at the
head of the Wool Growers at the time
of his death.
