TWO BOYS ESTABLISH
CHICKEN BUSINESS
Yakima Lads Kill and Dress Fowls for
Sunday Trade and Make
Money at 1t.

Claire Green and Claude Erwin,
Yakima boys IS and 16 years old re-
spectively, are making a success in a
novel business enterprise. They sell
spring chickens to the North Yakima
public and are making money at it. AS
they sometimes sell thirty and forty
chickens a week they cannot possibly
raise all that are necessary for their
business, so have a standing order in
with one of the city meat markets to
buy all the spring birds that are Of
fered. Claire, who is the son of the
Rev. Leon d. Green, lives on a ranch
just outside of town. Claude lives
with the Green family. The boys go
about the residence district during the
week taking orders for chickens to be
delivered Saturday In time for the
Sunday dinner. Then they kill the re-
quired number and dress them.
Hire Outside Help.
If business is heavy they hire out
side help among the boys in the
neighborhood. A week ago it was
necessary to hire two extra boys to
help pluck and draw the chickens
These young merchants are also es-
tablishing a milk route. Claire owns
one cow and his father another. He
buys the entire output from his faith
er's cow and gives his mother the milk
necessary for use in the family with
out charge, in exchange for which
courtesy Mrs. Green washes the milk
bottles for the firm. From a neighbor
who has COWS in the same pasture he
also buys milk. His delivery is by
pony express. The Greens have seven
Shetland ponies and the Green-Erwin
milk wagon is a small cart drawn by
one of the seven.
The boys like the work and say it is
profitable.

ton desired before the next meeting
of the council.
Sewer Bill Allowed.
The bill of the Northwest Bridge
company for $4161 for a new sub
sewer constructedb etween Seventh
and Eighth streets from the avenue

but not without a suggestion from
Councilman Schorn of the street and
ditch committee that he should be
reimbursed for gasoline used in his
automobile while out inspecting the
city's public works.
The saloon license for the Van
Diest saloon on Front street was re-
newed and the renewal of the license
of the Sandberg saloon was referred

ton upon the arrival of the president

THEIR LICENSES
County Auditor Is Called Upon to
Issue Large Number of Permits

Pursuit of game is a pastime which
is apparently growing in popularity
If the records of game licenses issued
from the Office of the county auditor
is any criterion. There is constant
stream of prospective huntsmen at the
county building daily after the little
tickets which enable a man to carry
a gun without dreading every other
man he happens to meet on the high
ways or the byways. Camping parties
the licenses and the men whose bust
ness takes them out into the outlying
valleys go prepared to handle any
wild animal or bird which comes
within the game law which may make
an unprovoked attack upon them.
Licenses issued from the office of the
county auditor this week were as fol-

TAKE GIRL
BACK HOME
WILL PROSECUTE SIMMONS
ROStCUTt SIMMONS
Secured Affidavit from Girl Saying She
Was Over Observation-Disclosures
Girls Character.

Verda Davidson. the 17-year-old
Spokane girl, who is alleged to have
been enticed away from her home and
parents in Spokane by William Sim
mons, a commercial man, both being
ifs office. was taken back to Spokane
Tuesday afternoon by Chief Probation
officer John Clifford of Spokane
county. The girl will be taken care
of by the probation department of the
juvenile court, while Simmons will
face a serious charge in the superior
court. according to statement made
by Clifford. The authorities and the
girls parents are anxious to prosecute
Simmons to the full extent of the law.
Simmons Protected Self
Later developments in the case have
brought to light evidence tending to
show that Simmons planned the es
capade and thought to protect himself
by inducing Miss Davidson to sign an
affidavit declaring that she was over
Is years of age. She admits signing
the paper but that she did not realize
it's character. Against this affidavit
will be the family Bible and the testi-.
mony of the parents Something of
the character of Simmons is shown by
a statement made by the sherffs Of
flee that Immediately after his arrest
in order to protect himself he black
ened the character of the girl he is
said to have induced to leave her
home.
Girls Folks WelI-tO-DO.
Probation officer Clifford is author
ity for the statement that Miss David
sons people are well-to-do and highly
respected citizens of Spokane. The
waywardness of the girl has been one
of the sorrows of the home. After
she had spent a night in the county
Jail her air of Indifference changed t.
one of concern. Following her ar
rest she maintained that she had no
desire to return to Spokane but later
changed her mind and was anxious to
be again with her mother.
