CITY HALL IS StWfRltSS
Council Considers Ordinance for
Trunk Line on \ Strcct-Pctty-
john Given More Time.

The health of the city, governed by
the sewer problem with it's many in
tricacies, occupied a greater portion
Of the councils time at the Tuesday
evening session. The sewer problem
was threshed out relative to the con-
struction of trunk sewer on A
street eaoi, making provisions for
proper sewer connections at the old
city hall which have been placed in
tumble by the preparations of Mrs
Julia Hess Miller to build on the cor
ner of Front and A street, and the
clos 1g of the Union. Mill and Power
bitches to allow Contractors Petty
john, Wesberger and Northwest
Bridge company to lay sub-sewer
pipe. further extension of time was
granted to Contractor Pettyjohn to
lay sewer pipe on the west side, at
present hindered by drainage water.
Much Business.
The ordinance calling for the con-
struction of a trunk sewer on east A
street proved a knotty problem,
Meigs refusing to vote on the final
passage of the ordinance, and the
matter was laid over until the next
meeting, giving the committee a
chance to investigate. This sewer
will drain an unsettled territory at a
cost of $4,000. The city engineer was
instructed to shut off the water in
the Union. Mill and Power bitches to
allow the contractor to lay sewer
pipc. This work will consume about
four hours and the water will be shut
off at gwen time, so as to cause the
least inconvenience.
City Hall SewcrIess.
The building operations at the cor
ner of A and Front streets have left
the city hall without sewer connec-
tons and quick action will be neces-
sary. The problem is something of a
puzzle to the city officials and the
matter was referred to the street and
ditch committee with power to act in
cor Juncion with the property holders
in order to effect an agreement for
the construction of sewer in the al
ley, The old sewer was laid in the
lot owned by Mrs. Miller and connects
with the sewer on Front street, which
is covered by the pavement.
Old Sore Opened.
A further extension of time was
granted to Pettyjohn & Co. for the
construction Of sub-sewer on the
west side which at present is handi-
capped by water in the sewer excava-
lions. Pettyjohn contends that it is
folly to lay the pipe in water and is
backed by Councilman Shaw and City
Engineer DOolttle. Mayor Arm
bruster is firm in the belief that the
sewer pipe should be laid at once on
the grounds that half a dozen cess
pools with which the sewer would be
connected are overlooking and insists
that Pettyjohn complete the work at
once. The laying of the pipe at the
present time with the water in the
ditch would be like throwing money
at the birds. Citizens whose resi-
dences will be connected with the sub
sewer when completed have signifed
their intentions of enjoining the city
from laying the pipe until the water
has receded.

Over in Spokane beginning August
is to be held the seventeenth SEES
sion of the National Irrigation con-
gress. An heroic effort has been made
to secure the presence there of the
very best educators, the highest au-
thorities and the men most Intimately
associated i'm the work of conservation
started by President Roosevelt and
in the problems of drainage and re-
clamation OF waste lands in every
state in the union.
An effort will be made not only to
disseminate the knowledge that has
been CLEANED from experience in these
lines of work but to give impetus to
conservation and reclamation. To
this end a movement is under way to
memOralize congress to authorize "a
species of bond issue whereby the
enormous sum of 5000 million dollars
may be raised for the reclamation of
arid lands and the Improvement of
waterways, the storage of flood waters
and the drainage of swamp lands.
These bonds are to be met by the own
ers OF the lands after those lands
have been reclaimed.
NOrh Yakima Apa.hctic
Much interest has been manifested
all over the country in the scheme ac-
cording to the officers of the Irrigation
congress and letters received from
Spokane state that large delegations
are coming to participate in the big
meeting which will last five days
North Yakima has made little If
any preparation yet to participate ia
the function and the following letter
from John $. Hughes who is a mem
Der OF the Irrigation congress board
Is self explanatory. Mr.. Hughes
writes to the Herald.
Want Good Delegation.
81 am asking Mr.. James to call a
special meeting of the Commercial
club to boost for n big delegation to
Spokane. The time is getting short
and if anything special is to be done
to advertise the valley at the con-
gress its got to be done at once I've
also asked him to call a meeting OF
the Valley committee for Friday next.
We ought to have 500 marchers from
the Yakima valley, indeed il ought to
he 1000 when we compare the dis
trict from which they come with
others who plan to do as We'll.
81 have just received word from
Boise promising their Columbian
band and SO marchcrs. Think of II,
all the way from Boise, railroad fare
SIS each. We are promised the Iowa
State band from Caldwell with 50
marchers; even little ontario. ore,
fare SIG, expects to send band and 30.
Last night received word from
Meachein publicity agent at Walla
Walla that they had been assured "a
special train and one fare round trip.
Consequently they will send band and
float and are out for 500 marchcrs.
Milton and Freewater go with Walla

what these do Yakima valley can do

Fails To Keep Correct account OF
Water Used for Sprinkiing and

Complaint was made to the city
council Tuesday evening that no ac-
curate account of the water used by
the city in sprinkling The streets was
kept by the drivers of the water wa
CONS. as instructed. This allegation
came as a side issue to statement by
Super n,endent Arrowsmth of ;hc
Northwest Light and Water company
that they had not received last
months pay for sprinkling, and he
desired to know why, as the corpora
ton needed and wanted the coin it
had comir g from the city. The rea-
son advanced as to why the water
company had not received its pay was
that the amount of water used had
not been kept by the city employees
and consequently there was no aCcIr-
ate check.
Relied on City.
Suoerir tendent Arrowsmith said
that he depended on the city to fur
nish the amount used and that som =
one had failed. Councilman Shaw
said that the street superintendent had
discovered that the reports were in
correct, and not to be relied upon, as

all the same for each night, whether
they had made the usual number OF
trips to the plugs or not. The stree

Null Makes Threat.
1t was also asserted that the drivers
of the water wagons are wont to
disturb the peace of the community
in the early hours of the morning by
loud talking while taking water. par
ticularly on Naches avenue. 1t was
alleged that the city employees would
talk for an hour at time. Besides
keeping the folks in that neighbor-
hood awake they were wasting the
city's time and Councilman Null
threatened to get up some morning at
o'clock and see if conditions existed
as presented. This phase of the water
