WAS FINE FIGHT
IN QUIET SELAH
AND IS WELL DESCRIBED
J. \. Breeding Brings Action for
Assault Against Ray Stevens and
A. c. f. Brown.

with fists and clubs and sticks and
tools the defendants assaulted and
beat and pounded. pummeled and
hammered the plaintiff to his great
injurey, decorating him so that he bled
profusely from his head and was dis
figured as to his face" The forego-
ing is a portion Of a complaint which
was filed in the superior court Mon
day by Messrs. Wende and Taylor
attorneys for J. A. Breeding in an ac-
ton for damages instituted by him
against Ray Stevens and A. c. E.
Brown.
1t must have been a grand fight for
Breeding is a husky man and would
mt remain idle while he was being
treated that way. Reading between
the lines it appears that it was a
grand fight for Breeding, who accuses
the two men of trespass on his prop
erty, says he tried to eject them from
the premises but admits that he lost
out. He lost out because Of the ag-
gregation of weapons arrayed against
him but as he is a big man and in
fine condition he must have taken a
splendid beating before he gave up.
That he did appears from the vivid
language of the complaint.
Second Round In Fray.
This is a kind of second round
which is described for once before
when Breeding and Brown met in the
Selah one of them went into an irri-
cation ditch and it wasn't Breeding.
AS far as present appearances go the
action in the superior court will be
the third round.
Breeding, who owns the southe east
quarter of the northwest quarter of
section 3-13-1S, which is under the
canal of the Selah Development
company, alleged in his complaint
that the defendants by their fleet in
walking" did on July l, 1909, tramp
down the soil and crush and break
and destroy his potato vines. He fur
Their says that with their "shovels,
picks and divers other instruments
and implements they did dig up
and scatter on the ground and over
the crops the soil and they did dig a
deep trench of great width the depth
and the width thereof being beyond
the information Of Breeding but the
length thereof was $50 feet. III this
trench they did bury pipes for the
conduct of water and they propose
at various times, unless the court in
terferes, TO return and repair and
look after the pipe and otherwise
trcspass. And Mr.. Breeding thinks
$500 is about the right price to ask.
For the assault above suggested he
also thinks $500 is about right.

WATER SYSTEM FOR s215.OOO.
VIII Tell the Council That Adequate
Domestic Supply for Present Needs
Can Be Procured.

An efficient water system can be es-
tablished in North Yakima for $215.-
900, according to City Engineer Doo-
little. This means the construction ot
first unit, adequate for present needs,
to furnish domestic water supply
The completed system, sufficient for
the needs of a city of some 40 900 peo-
pie, such as it is expected North Yaki-
ma will be some day, will cost $780,
900. The matter of water for fire pro-
lection is not considered by the city
engineer in his $215, 1000 for the first
unit, as the Northwest Light & Water
company is bound to furnish water for
protection from fires for some time to
come. A domestic service, under
those conditions, will not need a pump
ing station, though that portion of the
plant is provided for in the estimate
of the cost of the completed system
Will Report on Monday.
Engineer Doolittle will submit to the
council Monday night his report as
asked for of the probable cost of an
Independent system. He will name
his figures as above given. The s215,-
900 for the first unit will provide for a
24-inch main to be run to some point
on the Naches river higher than the
present intake of the Northwest Light
& Water company. Mr.. Doolittle thinks
that two 1S-inch mains could be
brought, by the county road, from
Naches and diverge north and south
along the line between sections % and
"a Mains entirely around the city
and distributing laterals of six inches
in size would be layed through the
alleys. The business district in the
heart of the city would be protected
by 14-inch mains through the alleys
from Seventh avenue west to Naches
avenue and parallel with Yakima ave-
nue.. Such a service, it is considered,
will give a water pressure in North
Yakima of so pounds.
Together with his report Mr.. Doo-
little will submit to the city council
maps showing the location of his va
rious mains and laterals within the
city. Copies of the report and of the
map were handed over by Mr. Doolit-
tie to City Attorney Allen Saturday
afternoon.

ORDINANCE
IS FAULTY
REGARDING LIQUOR LICENSES
Penalty for Selling Liquor Without
\ Liccnsc-Handicaps City.

A bungle of some one in the days
when the city was young has left
North Yakima without an ordinance
to prosecute violations of the liquor
laws. according to a statement of City
Attorney Allen. BY virtue of this fact
the city is handicapped and in the
past has been unable to prosecute re-
sorts operating contrary to law.
There is no city ordinance covering
the selling of liquors without IL
cense. There is an ordinance on the
books naming the crime. but their is
no provision for a penalty. which
strips the law of its power and makes
it useless Contemplated prosecution
of cases were blocked by this fault
Supreme Court Finding.
recent decision of the supreme
court relative to the operating Of
clubs. cafes, etc would be of aid to
the city. if the ordinance was what it
should be. The supreme court de-
cided in the appeal of several Spo-
kane clubs that it was unlawful to sell
liquor for a consideration to other
than members As the cash register
receipts are the mainsprings Of the
business. clubs. etc would be forced
TO close up. Last winter the city
started action against colored clubs
operating in this city. but We're
blocked by a faulty ordinance. one
resort of this nature operates in this
city at the present time, but is in no
great danger of being distu,oed by
legal processes.

FARM WALES GIVEN BIG BOOST.

SPOKANE, Wash, August 10
The opening of the three Indian reser-
vations in Idaho, Washington and
Montana respectively has brought
rare good fortune to the Northwest.
This fact is being daily proved by the
pilgrimages being made into the out
lying farming districts by eastern peo-
pie who came West first to see the
Alaska Pacific exposition, next
to register for a tract of Indian land
on one or all three of the Indian res
ervations, and if they failed in this TO
select a plot of ground in the rich Pa
louise country or the fertile region in
the vicinity of Spokane, Lewiston,
Walla Walla, Wenatchee, the Big
Bend or North Yakima.
Adjoining towns are reporting the
heaviest travel in years. Land sales
are numerous and real estate brokers
in the entire Inland Empire are on
their toes handling applicants for
land. To bring approximately 200,-

route to the exposition at Seattle, must
needs leave millions of dollars in the
west, besides settling its unpeopled
regions. The bumper crops now being
harvested, high prices received for
grains and the wave of general pros
perity surging across the west have
served to advance the price of farms
25 per cent in view of the demands
from homeseekers and tourists.

COUNTY MADE
GOOD SHOWING
At THE IRRIGATION CONGRESS
J. J.. Hughes Says Yakima Did Splcn
didly-Pinchot- ISaIlingcr Episode
Much Magnificd.

]. L. Hughes, who was among the
Yakima county delegation at the ir-
rigation congress at Spokane and
who has returned to his home here
says that the county made an excel
lent showing. Walla Walla was I'M
doubleday first from the point of view
of attracting attention to itself and
was a long way ahead of any other
participant. Yakima county, Mr.
Hughes. says. was undoubtedly sec
ond. though he does not presume to
compare the local record at Spokane
with that of Walla Walla. The peo-
pie from the penitentiary town, he
says, intended to be first and they
took no chances. They were so far
in front that they actually outclassed
all others.
County Had Fine Display.
Yakima county was not represent
ed in the parade by many who at
tended the congress. Some returned
to their homes here before the pa
rades took place and others remained
in the city but did not feel like join
ing in the line of march. The coun-
ty, however. had a delegation of
nearly hundred at that. They car
ried banner 1870 feet long and each
participant carried a small pennant
indicating his hailing port.
The presence of the boys band
from this city, according to Mr..
Hughes, was a splendid advertising
feature. The boys played excellent
music. They were at all times in de-
mand and they helped out on many
occasions. The fact that this COM
munity could turn out so many and
such good looking young musicians,
Mr.. Hughes said, was in itself a thing
which set a number of people to
thinking.
Pinchot- Ballingcr Episode.
The scrap" sO-called, between the
Pinchot-B allinger forces, according to
the North Yakima man, was not in as
much evidence at the congress as it
was in the newspapers. The real
trouble was that Mr.. Ballinger was
unfortunate in having friends who
considered it necessary to make elab-
crate explanations and counter
charges which had been sufficiently
explained by one of the subordinates
of the secretary of the interior That
subordinate pointed out that instead
of being a big affair there was in
volved but one tract of $50 acres and
that but 40 acres of that tract was
entered before the land was with
drawn from entry. The matter
which it had been made to assume.

Missouri Has Complaint.
1.-The Ben Davis, which holds about
the same position here as the Baldwin
does in the east" writes a Missouri
man to The Rural New Yorker
"bloomed very unevenly this spring
1t would not be safe to call the apple
crop in Missouri, Arkansas, southern
Illinois and Kansas more than about
One-fourth normal size"
around the first of May did great dam
age. Around Hutchinson, Kan, an
important fruit section, nearly all the
apples were killed. The liberia peach
crop was light in Missouri, while some
of the later varieties, such as the
Champion and Solway, will do fairly
well. Nearly every writer about the
apple crop, no matter in what part of
TIE country he lives, speaks of the
uneven" or the spotted" crop, cal
ling attention to the fact that orchards
producing full crops and those pro-
ducing only a half or quarter crop
stand almost side by side.
Few Pears i'm New York.
In New York state, according to the
same agricultural paper, there are
fewer pears in sight than has been the
case since Kieffers and LIE Contes have
been commercially planted.
Fruit can only be counted by the
DOZENS" the article continues, "in or
chards that have hitherto produced by
the car load. Never has there been
such a prospective shortage of can
ming pears. Bartletts and other Euro
peans are better but there can be only
a fraction of an average crop. There
is more promise in apples but the full
crop due this year will be far from
realized. The set is generally light
and the dropping continues. Late
sorts show up better than early ones.
Plums Are Hard Hit. .
Peaches alone promise anything
like a fair crop, though young or
chards have been dropping at an I'M
expected rate. Plums in general have
failed, only few Japans carrying
scattering crops. Natives not only lost
their blooms from the effects Of fog
and rain, but much foliage and wood
