POMONA MEN MEET AGAIN
Land Owners Will Arrange to Coop.

Land owners having property I'M
der the proposed Pomona Heights
canal are to have another conference
on Tuesday evening at the farmers
room In the court house with Presi-
dent O'Bryan of the North Yakima
& East Selah Irrigation Co. 1t is
believed that this conference will re-
suit in an adjustment of some of the
differences between O'Bryan and the
land owners, who will be organized
under the name of the Pomona
Heights Water Users association. or
some similar title.
The purpose of the meeting, an
nounced by j. T. Handsaker, is to Sc
cure cooperation in the movement to
secure water rights and water for the
land. 1t is impossible for the canal
company to deliver water to the land
this year, as agreed, owing to diff
culties over the water right with the
reclamation service.
President O'Bryan and his friends
are confident that some agreement
can be reached by which the water
can be secured, and the valuable land
irrigated next season. The Pomona
Heights district contains some Of the
finest fruit land in the Yakima VALLEY.

COOPERATE IN
SPRAY PURCHASE
May Result in Handling of Other
Orchard Materials for Members
at Cost.

Steps toward cooperation of fruit
growers in the purchase of material
for orchard use have been taken
through the Yakima Horticultural
unian purchasing a large consign-
ment OF lime and sulphur spray,
which will be disposed of to members
at practically cost. The trustees Of
the union have made the purchase
and arrangements for the sale with
a view of testing the desires of the
fruit men for this cooperative feature.
If it is successful, there will no doubt
of the addition of other lines later
on.
Through a contract with the COM
pany manufacturing the Niagara lime
and sulpher solution, the trustees
are able to offer the spray at $1.75 a
barrel less than the usual price.
However, this figure is only for men,
bers Of the union.
President Irish and Trustees Will
liam Richards called attention Sat
urday to the fact that fruit grower
could save enough in purchasing ma

shares of stock in the union. As this

It provides an excellent inducement
for early purchase of stock.

Alaskan Guest Invests.

One OF the visitors in town this
week, who is an intimate associote
and relative of Judge Wickersham,
is John Mestor, who is at present the
guest Of John Otter. Mr.. Mestor
has been visiting different cities on
the coast since his departure from
the northern cline and even after
stopping at such prominent places as
Seattle. Tacoma and the various Cit
les in the sound country. he is par
ticularly interested in the proep scts
of the future growth of this city. Mr..
Mestor has been at different times
connected with various lines of bust
ness in Nome. Dawson and the more
prominent cities in the Alaskan
country, but after looking over the
prospects of our future has finally
decided to invest in something even
more promising than the precious
metal" and that is North Yakima
real estate and North Yakima land.
Mr.. Mestor will remain the guest of
Mr.. Otter for the next few days.

JERRY OKEy
GETS DIVORCE
AND CUSTODY OF HIS DAUGHTER
Judge Preble Gives Opinion and De.
cree, Deciding Idaho Divorce
Is Void.

Through a decision Of Judge Pre-
BILE in the superior court on Monday,
Jerry Okey was granted divorce
from his wife, Sadie M. Okey, and
given the custody of the daughter,
Madeline, II years of age. In giving
his opinion in the case, Judge Preble
declared that the Idaho divorce Sc
cured by Mrs. Okey was void and
made a statement showing how he
had reached this conclusion.
In the statement Judge Preble re-
views the matrimonial troubles OF
Mr.. and Mrs. Okey, who were mar
ried in Missouri and lived there un-
til coming to North Yakima. Mrs.
Okey, according to this review, left
Missouri first, and was to make ar
rangements for the family on her
arrival here.
Instead, she went to idaho, where
she later secured a divorce The
court held that her residence should
have been at North Yakima, with her
husband, and that she therefore had
no right to the Idaho divorce.
Judge Preble granted the divorce
to Okey. finding that the other di-
vorce was void, and gave the custody
of the child to the father, inasmuch
as he believed she would be provid-
ed better home with him.
A peculiar triangle results from
the decree, as in March, 1908, Mrs.
Okey married Walter Forbish. The
attorneys for Jerry Okey in the case
were Luhman & Clark and their vic
tory of the hard-fought legal battle,
presenting many technical points, has
brought them much praise. Attor-
neys Englehart & Rigg and George
w. Tannehill of Lewiston, Idaho. rep

SUbSEWERS IN
FORTY BLOCKS
DISTRICTS FORMED BY COUNCIL
Aim of Administration to Give Ser
vice to as Much of City as Pos
sible Before Summer.

The city will soon have full sewer
service if plans now being rushed
through by the present administra-
more months. At the two last meet
ings of the council ordinances have
been passed calling for the construc-
tion of lateral sewers in nearly 40
blocks.
The west side and the section of
the city in the vicinity of the Beech
street trunk sewer have never been
connected except in a few instances
and it is the purpose of the mayor and
council to push the construction rap
idly and at the next meeting of the
council contrac cts will be let for the
building of the sewers in the new i'm
provement districts just formed.
Never in the history of the city has
so much activity been witnessed in
this particular, heretofore all sewer
districts formed having been through
petition by majority of the prop
erty owners in each block. This sea-
son sewer connections will have been
made before the hot weather in a
large portion of the city not hereto
fore given sewer service.
Ninth avenue, between West Yaki-
ma avenue and Jefferson, will be re-
graded. an ordinance establishing an
improvement district having passed
the council.
The plat of the Patten-Linch addi-
ton on the west side was submitted
to the council and passed. The prop
erty is to be sold in city lots imme-
diately.
E. f. Kelsos appointment as city
weighmaster was confirmed.
A. A. Smiths appointment as pa
trolman was confirmed. Mr.. Smith
has been serving on the force for
about week.
The ordinance instructing the city
engineer to re-survey the city and
establish monuments and grades was
passed and the work will be COM
menced at once.

ARE COMING
TO YAKIMA
INTEREST IN new YORK CITY
Arthur Henry Reports That Very
Little Is Known About EXPOSE
sitiOn at Seattle.

Many residents of New York City
are coming to North Yakima during
the summer, with a view of inspect
ing the fruit districts surrounding
this city and the property coming
under new irrigation projects, &C.
cording to Arthur Henry, who return
ed Monday afternoon from New York
City, where he spent several weeks.
Interest in Yakima is growing in
the eastern city, and the Yakima
club in New York is becoming larger
and larger. Many of the members
are among the most influential in
financial circles.
While the interest in the Yakima
valley and the northwest is increas-
ing, little is known about the Alaska
Yukon-Pacific exposition by people
living east of Chicago. says Mr.. Hen
ry He has made a suggestion that
the officials of the exposition start
on some well-directed campaign of
publicity to advertise the fair and
that the various commercial clubs
of the state join with the officials in
this work. The idea embodies the
writing and publication of numerous
articles regarding the northwest, and
especially Washington, in the Sum
day newspapers Of the east. That
these articles should not only be
about the fair, but should be gener-
al, is the belief of Mr.. Henry.
Another suggestion made is that
some good heavy publicity work be
done for the Yakima valley to induce
the tourists this year to stop off in
the city. The individual work has
been well done, he says, but there is
need for general Advertising to reach
the thousands travelling through the
west this season, and who have not
heard about North Yakima from any
of the present residents or their
friends in the east.

SUE AETNA CO.
FOR $4,000
EXCESS COST OF HIGH SCHOOL
Original Contract Was for 5000
and the Total Cost Was
$4,000.

Suit will be instituted in few
days by the board of school directors
of District No. Z, North Yakima, for
approximately $4,000 against the
Aetna Indemnity Co.. the bonding
company which has figured in several
court cases recently. including the Y.
NJ. c. A. case and the McKivor suit
against George Milton Savage.
The board decided on Monday, af-
ter a conference with Attorney II. J.
Snively. that they had a good case
against the bonding company and the
members believe they can recover
the entire amount for which suit is
to be instituted.
This litigation is the outgrowth of
the failure of the contracting firm of
Gibson & Smith, which originally took
the contract for the building of the
school at $4,000. The firms fail
ure to complete the building caused
the school board to take matters up,
hire builders and finish the big job.
The total cost Of the building, COM
plete, was about $4,000. This does
not include the cost of some 'extras"
that were added to the original plans
and which are deducted from the
claim against the Aetna Indemnity
Co.
At the school board meeting on
Monday it was decided to advertise
for bids for the clearing up of the
high school grounds and the level
ing of them, preparatory to further
improvements on the property. The
bids for this work will be received
next Monday, until noon, and the
contract probably let at the session
of the board in the afternoon.

ington and Henry Lands. state geol-
ogist, who made an inspection of the
quarry Saturday morning.
Following the inspection of the
quarry, Prof. Lancaster made num-
erous photographs and sketches of
the quarry and the neighboring terri
tory with a view of taking up the
question of proper switches connect
ing with the Northern Pacific rail-
road.
Not only did the state officials find
that the quarry has the best road ma
terial to be found in the state, but
also that 1t is so located that a heavy
face can be operated, crusher put
in, switches built to connect with the
railroads main line and all of the
work be done without any danger of
the blasting interfering with the op-
Grafton of the railroad.
The quarry is located in a coulee
on the west side of the gap, the face
starting about 100 feet above the
track at the level of the old grade
road 1t is possible to do all prelim-
mary blasting in this coulee, and
there will be no danger of heavy
rocks falling on the tracks.
At the same time the height of the
quarry gives the opportunity for use
of the gravity system in handling the
rocks, both before and after being
crushed. Even the loading tracks for
the cars will be operated with the
gravity system, according to the
sketches made by Prof. Lancaster.
Prof Lancaster, no is one of the
states good road experts. delivered
two lectures at the Yakima CONNER
cial club roms, one in the afternoon
and another in the evening. In these
lectures he told much about the
methods used in building good roads
in Europe and the east. illustrating
with stereopticon views.
