MANY POTATOES FROZEN IN PITS
Snow anil Earth Were Not Sufficient
Covering Against the Extreme
Cold.

That many potatoes left in pits
throughout Yakima county were froz-
en- and that there will be advanced
prices for good spuds as a result is
the belief of many ranchers. who say
that the snow and earth coverings
are not sufficient covering to protect
the supply against the extreme cold.
There a~o hundreds of tons of po-
tatoes in "itr ~ Yakima county, in
tended for sale as seed potatoes or
for spring markets, and mach of this
supply will be entirely lost. The ex-
act amount will never be known, for
only part of each pit is likely to be
frost bitten.
Ranchers have a very limited sup
ply of apples in cellars and no dam
age is expected on this score. The
dealers who have apples in storage
have given them ample protection.

FIRE ESCAPES FOR SCHOOLS
Fairview and Modern Addition Build
ings to Be Provided With Novel
Equipment.

Canvass chutes will be used as fire
escapes for the Fairview and Modern
addition schools, the board of achool
directors having decided on Thurs
day to purchase three of the novel
fire escapes recently shown in this
city.
Two of the fire escapes will be
placed In the Fairview building,
where there are two rooms on the
second floor, and the third will be in
Modern addition, where only one sec
ond story room is occupied. 1t is
figured that the pupils in these rooms
can be landed safely on the ground
through the chute in less than three
minutes.
The board decided to postpone the
inspection of plumbing and heating
apparatus Antil next Monday. The
apparatus is giving excellent satisfac-
ton during the cold weather, and II
is probable that the board will accept
the work formally at it's next meet
ing.

GIVES PROPERTY SHE OWNS
Mrs. Sarah j. Ashby Writes From
Valdez That Lots Are Here
ANYWAY.

While Mrs. Sarah j. Ashby, now
in Valdez. Alaska. claims that GER
tain property in Tacoma is her indi-
vidual property and her husband,
William Ashby. claims that it is COM
munity property. a divorce suit in
the superior court of Yakima county
promises to entirely untangle the
situation for Ashby asserts his will
ingness that the property be given to
her If he is given a divorce.
F. The couple were married in Seis.
Ore, in December, 1872, and the pc
tition for divorce asserts that she de-
serted Ashby on October 80, 1906.
The husband says that she asserts
that she will not return at any time
to live with him, and has filed as an
exhibit in the case a letter from Mrs.
Ashby written in Valdez.
This letter is in answer to a state
ment that he contemplates seeking
divorce and giving her the proper
ty, and she sarcastically refers to
his generosity in offering all commun-
ity property to her, saying that 1t is
hers anyway as she bought 1t with
money willed her by her mother and
that the deeds were made in her
name.

WANT INJUNCTION ENDED.
Arguments by Attorneys i'm Superior
COurt-Offer Five Thousand to
Subj Contractor.

Arguments for the dissolution of
the injunction issued by Judge Pre-
BILE restraining the city of North Yak
ina from paying over warrants to
George Milton Savage for paving
work until the suit of William Nc
kivor has been heard in the superior
court, were made before Judge Preble
on Saturday afternoon. No decision
has been announced by the jurist and
the injunction continues in effect.
Frank J.tAllen made his first ap-
pearance in the superior court as city
attorney in this suit, and Savage was
represented in the suit by Marshall
X. Smell of Tacoma and Englehart &
Rigg. Attorneys Lynch & Grady
representing McKivor, fought against
the dissolution of the injunction.
The answers of the city and OF
Savage we're both filed during the
day, and are very similar. They both
| acknowledge that McKivor has 8
claim, but state that it is not for the
amount claimed by the sub-contrac.
tor. That there was no collision and
fraud on the part of the city officers
is also asserted.
Attorneys for George Milton Saw
age rendered $542O.14 to McKivor
on Saturday morning, claiming this
is the amount really due the SUBJ

attorneys claim.

Semi-official announcement that
the Yakima Savings & Loan associa-
ton is contemplating the occupancy
of ground floor offices and will soon
take a position in the banking cir
cles of North Yakima has been made
by directors of that company, who
held meeting on Friday evening and
took several steps regarding the bus
mess of the company. Among the
important moves was the placing of
additional stock CT the institution on
the market, the declaring of a divi-
dend at the rate of eight per cent per
annum, and the placing of reserve
fund of five per cent. Numerous
loans were also approved. The fol-
lowing is a semi-officfal report of the
business transacted:
1.-THE directors of the Yakima Saw
ings & Loan association held it's reg
ular monthly meeting in the offices
of Roberts & Udell Friday evening,
and, despite the inclement weather,
all the directors were present save
one, who was sick, and a great deal
of important business was transacted.
Loans for the month of January
aggregating $13, 10000 were passed
by the board, which shows a very re-
markable growth for the local home
Institution. The business being done
by them along this line would do
credit to an organization ten years
old instead of three, the latter being
the age of the local association. The
company has made loans of over
100000 during its short life and
bids fair to keep an abundance of
business in North Yakima that here
tofore has been going to outside
