NAME MEIGS NEW CAPTAIN
Attorney and Politician VIII Father
New Military MOve-EspeciaIly
Adapted for Work.

Leo o. MeigS, attorney and politi-
clan, will father the organization OF
the new military company in this city.
Adjutant General Lamping Saturday
morning informed Attorney Meigs
that he was eligible for the position
and the legal light will begin at once
the work of organizing the second
company Captain Meigs will en-
deavor to secure the names of repre-
sentative young men of the city on
the rolls, and the new company will
combine social standing and fighting
ability.
Meigs Good Choice.
Captain Meigs is a graduate of the
state college at Pullman and was one
OF the workers in the military organ
ization of that institution. He was
an officer in the cadet corps. Any
or. who rose TO an official position on
the Pullman cadet corp. weathered
rigid military examination and
knows as a result something about
military tactics and usages. Com
bined with his military training are
personal qualifications.
Create New Interest.
The organization of a second COM
pany in this city will add to the in
terest in military affairs. Company
e has a high standing in the National
Guard companies of the state and the
new company will cause the members
OF the older organization to look to
their laurels. Competitive drills and
shoots will also increase the worth of
the two organizations. Two com
panies will bring to them favors in
appropriations from the state mill
tary funds heretofore not enjoyed.
One of the benefits to be accrued is
the securing of better place to hold
drills, etc.

UNION GAP BRIDGE
CLOSED TO TRAFFIC
County Engineer Is Afraid That ii Is
Not Safe and VIII at Once Make
Repairs.

The Union Gap bridge across the
Yakima river will today be closed to
traffic. County Engineer Mcintyre is
convinced that the bridge is unsare
and is anxious to make repairs as
soon as possible. He wants to shut
it off to travel before someone at
tempts to transport heavy farm ma
chinery across and come to grief en-
route. Accordingly notices will be
posted on the bridge today that it is
closed and the approaches will be
fenced UP.
The new Parker bridge a mile and
a half further away down the river,
has been opened to travel and is in
daily use. At this bridge notices will
be posted to the effect that the Union
Gap bridge is closed SO that no incon-
venience, through taking a closed
road, will be caused to any traveller
There are no residents between the
two bridges and the only people who
will be compelled to travel a longer
route are the people of Yakima City
who may desire to cross the river and
go up through the Mckee. The new
Parker bridge crosses the Yakima
just north of the Parker siding. The
Union Gap bridge is just below the
gap south of the city.
Work has been delayed for a brief
time on the new Mckee bridge across
the Yakima river east of Yakima ave-
nue. by reason of the failure of an ex-
pected supply of piles and by reason
also Of break in one of the pumps
used in keeping the excavation for one

Engineer Mcintyre.

COUNTY BUDGET
IS ANNOUNCED
BY BOARD OF commissioners
current Expense Fund VIII BE
somewhat Smaller Than Aggrc-
gate of Last Year.

current expenses for Yakima coun-
ty for the next year will be S116,-
1880, according to the budget pre-
pared by the county commissioners
Tuesday. There will be required
some $4,000 for the county school
tax and $4,000 in the general road
ana bridge fund The current ex-
pense fund according to the est,-
mates, runs to about $4,000, but
this will be materially reduced by the
receipts of the offices of the auditor
and the county clerk. These two Of
fees, 1t will be seen. are not only
self-supporting but, in the aggregate.
will run some $1,000 to the good over
the amount required for their COM
bined expenses.
Good Showing BY Comparison.
Last years current expense levy
was $126,292, which was about S1O,-
ooo more than this year. Included in
the hgures last year was an item or
$4,000 to balance up payments on
the court house. This makes the ex-
penses of this year about $4,000 more
In the aggregate on the same items.
Figures of the auditors report for
=,
$126,292; general roads and bridges.
$64,316; county bond sinking fund,
$7,717; soldiers relief, 1857; general
levy, $19S@S43S; road districts. $751;
H761; dixie districts, $2,133; drainage,
$11.372.
About the School Tax.
The amount set down this year as
school tax will be surprise to many
not acquainted with the conditions
Under the new law the tax is admin
istered differently. There are three
classes, the state, county and district
taxes. AS a matter of fact the aggre-
gate tax this year is hardly, If any,
greater than formerly. The differ
ence is that because Of the manner
of assembling 1t the district tax will
be less The new law equalizes the
differences between districts, to some
extent.
Budget As Prepared.
Items of the statement prepared by
the commissioners Tuesday were as
follows:

Spokane Men I'm Hard Luck.
Drillers representing Spokane capt.
tai are working on the north half 81
section 22-12-2l. 1t is said that they
represent capitalists who are willing
to eNpend S25 600 in their search tor
artesian water and who, if they fail
to find a flow, will he satisfied To-
pump. These operations are on the
old Forsyth desert claim. where the
roundup was held in other days. One
hole pushed into the ground to a
depth of 3S5 feet appeared to be
failure and was abandoned. A second
hole of approximately $50 feet has
been drilled but is said to be caving
in and handspring operations. The
success of the Rose company would
make it appear that there is ample
water in the vicinity.
Operations Interest Many.
These operations, which are almost
at the crest of the divide in the Mckee
are proving of great interest to many
people. II. j. Logan of the Rose
Land company when asked about
them said that his company finds the
water present in large quantities and
so easily pumped as to make the irri-
CATION of large tracts an easy matter
He believes that the wells are the so =
luton of the question of cultivation
of all that area and will become very
popular.
