HINES BEGINS SUIT
FOR BIG DAMAGES
Asks for Judgment of $500 Against
the WaIIa Walla Irrigation Com
pany for Failure to Keep
Contract.

G. w. Hines and wife began suit in
the superior court this afternoon
against the Walla Walla Irrigation
Company for the sum of $500, this be-
ing. the amount they allege they are
damaged owing to failure on the part
of the company to comply with the
and the former owner of the present
Hines property.
According to the contract, it is
claimed by the plaintiffs, an agree
ment was made whereby, the COM
pany pledged itself, while crossing the
land of Hines with water conduits, to
lay the pipes at least a foot and one
half below the surface of the ground
and in case this was not done, it fur
Their agreed to pay all. damages after
laying the matter before a suitable
board Of arbitration.
1t is now said by the plaintiffs that
this contract has not been carried out,
even in part, for in places the pipes
are above the ground and in only few
spots are they at the depth agreed
upon. Because of this, it is asserted,
that blowing was an impossibility by
reason of Which the Hines were dam
aged in the sum of $1,000.
1t is also claimed that owing to
broken pipes, the ground has been
completely inundated in the vicinity
of the pipe line making productive
land a waste owing to the seepage
from them. For this alleged damage,
the plaintiffs ask for damages amount
ing to $4,000, making a total of $500.
They desire that the matter be
brought before a board of arbitration
selected for this purpose, and that,
as previously agreed upon, the ques-
ton of damages be settled by them.

Hawthornbank DELAYED.

PORT TOWNSEND, May 6.-Arriv-
ing in first class condition after hav-
ing been given up for lost, the Brit
ish bark Hawthornbank, Captain Bal
lyntine, was lowed in shortly before
midnight by the tug Goliath. The
ship was en- route $50 days from
TernUZe, Norway. Questioned as to
the reason for the long passage, Cap
tain Ballyntine declared that it was a
combination of no wind and contrary
winds that held him back. The con-
trary winds not only prevented prog
ress en- route, but drove him far from
his course
The cargo of the Hawthornbank is
consigned to the Pacific Creosoting
company, with headquarters in Seattle.
During the trip the second officer died
and was buried at sea.

NO CHECK WITH BID
AND IT DOES NOT GO
Owing to Fact That Deposit Was Re-
quired With Offer, Low Bid Was
Ruled Out BY Fire Com
m ttee.

Owing to the fact that the bidding
representative of the Gramm-Iogan
Motor company failed to file with the
city clerk his certified check in the
sum of $500, the bid will not be con-
sldered by the fire committee, which
yesterday opened bids on a combina-
ton chemical and hose auto for the
fire department Archie Henderson,
representing the Gramm-Logan com
pany, entered bid of $464O which
was the lowest estimate received. but
the absence of the certified check null
lifies the bid, and the Graham Rubber
company, of Seattle. whose bid was
$4950. is the next lowest
The fire committee has taken no ac-
ton relative to the contract, but will
probably make a recommendation re
port to the council at its next meet
ing. The auto is to be supplied some
time during the summer months, in
order to be available for use in tn
early autumn.
BY the installation of the cOmbina-
ton auto in the central station, it win
be possible to eliminate two teams,
two drivers and to materially reduce
the bill for maintenance. One of the
drivers will be employed in another
capacity, and thus the force will be
reduced. Fire Chief William Metz has
compiled figures showing that the new
apparatus will, within the course of
two years, save its own cost in the re,
ductiOn in feed and repair bills and
the wage of the man who can be dis
pensed with. In addition to the cheap,
er maintenance cost, the auto will
make it possible for the department to
respond with much greater speed to
alarms, especially those in remote sec
tions of the city, and now that the
gravity water system makes the use
of the steamers unnecessary. except in
unusual contingencies, the combination
auto, carrying both the hose supply
and the chemical tanks. will be ade
quate to control nine out of ten fires
to which the department is summoned.

much annoyance. | became thin
