CHANGE WANTED
IN ORDINANCE
AUT0ISIS WOULD GO FASTER
Owners of High Power Machines Say
They Are Unable TO Comply With
Present Law.

AutoiStS and automobile owners in
this city are making an effort to have
the city ordinance regulating speed,
amended SO as to increase the speed
limit from eight to twelve or fifteen
miles per hour. The matter was call
ed to the attention of the city coun-
ell Monday evening by Councilman
Null but was laid over to the next
meeting in the rush of adjournment.
During its short appearance before
the city fathers the proposed amend
ment met with strenuous objections
from two different quarters. Defin-
lite action on the matter will be TAX
en- at the next regular meeting of
the city Nuncil.
The statement is made by owners of
the high power machines that it is
impossible for them to keep within
the speed limit. and that it is a ques-
ton of going over eight miles an
hour, or not at all. Two of the
city fathers maintain that eight
miles is a dignified rate of speed, and
that to amend the ordinance to read
twelve or fifteen miles would be jeo-
pardizing life and limb on Yakima
avenue and other streets. and sgni-
fled their intentions Of fighting the
proposed amendment.
Complaint has been made to the po-
lice that automobile drivers are still
inclined to "scorch'' on west Yakima
avenue when no policeman is looking.
Monday afternoon little child play
ing in the street near Fifth avenue
narrowly missed death, by being struck
by high power machine going at an
excessive rate of speed. The wheels
of the car barely missed the child ac-
cording to the story of eye witnesses.
The number of the car and it's owner
are in the possession of the police.

touched by the new owners of the cleo
trio line interests. Present and past
experiences with Messrs. Hartman
and Hill do not point to the fact that
either of these gentlemen build lines
to compete with each other and there
fore it is not to be assumed that the
MoXec. the Naches valley, the Selah
valley or the lower valleys will ever
witness the construction of electric
lines built and operated by the North
ern Pacific. Furthermore. inasmuch
as franchises and right of way privi-
leges to most of these points have al
ready been secured by the Transports
ton company, which .s supposed to
soon pass into the hands of the North
ern Pacific, it will no doubt be many
years before any other electric COM
pany could be organized to undertake
that work.
Many Years to Realize Dream.
1t car therefore, be assumed with
out much presumption that the long
cherished hope of d network of electric
lines in the Yakima valley is a delusiOn
and snare and that if it ever comes
to pass it will be by a new undertake
ing floated by new capital some time
in the dim and distant future, for it
can hardly be expected that the Hill
interests will expend any considera BILE
amount of money in duplicating the
present system of steam roads that are
installed and that are being installed.
Future Looks Dark.
That the change of ownership from
the hands of the present company to
the Northern Pacific will benefit any
one outside of those who have a finger
in the pie can hardly be expected nor
can ii be expected that the ultimate
result will be other than detrimental
Transportation is the crying need of
the whole community, but the COM
munity good as viewed from the stand
point of the people and of the Norrh =
people have needed an electric sys-
TEN, will continue to need one in an
increasing ratio with the passing of
the coming years; they have trusted
certain rights and privileges to a COM
parry to provide this system, and if in
the end, the Northern Pacific railroad
company gains possession of these
franchises and privileges as has been
suggested, the people and the COM
munity at large can hardly avoid a
heavy handicap and very serious loss

HENRY BROS.
HAVE NEW VEL!
WAFER FOR TWENTY ACRES
Gasoline Engines Installed on Several
Mob Hill Ranches TO Furnish Power
For Irrigation.

Henry Brothers on Tuesday became
the owners of q well containing suifi-
cient water to permit OF the irrigation
of 20 acres now in fruit. The tract of
orchard is Just across the roadway
from the Wcisberger land and has
been irrigated for sometime hereto
fore from the Weisbergcr tract. The
well, which is approximately $50 feet
deep was drilled by T.. NJ. Churchill.
and was completed Tuesday. Water
was first struck at n depth of 20 feet
and three separate flows in all We're
encountered. \ test shows water in
sufficient quantities to irrigate the en-
tire tract which as stated. is 90 acres,
and IA gasoline engine and pump for
the purpose will at once be installed.
Other Plants Installed.
F.. l.. Miller, whose tract is adjacent
to the Henry Bros. land. recently had
a well drilled and has installed Il gas
oline engine and is pumping the water
used for irrigation and for domestic
purposes.
Mrs. Halide, another of those who
had well drilled, has installed II
gasoline pumping plant and is irri-
eating her tract of 20 acres with water
pumped from the well on the
premises.
1t is understood that some of those
who are now the owners of wells or
who consider having wells drilled
will make use of the electric current,
whenever it is within reach, to fur
nish the power and thus avoid the
necessity of hitching up the power
sprayer to the pump.

1t is understood that Developments
far-reaching importance affecting
the railroad situation in North Yaki-
ma are about to come to head. chief
among which is the acquiring of the
local Transportation company and
street railway by the Northern Pa
cific.
n. u. Will Get Electric Line
For some weeks it has been almost
AN acknowledged fact that the Hill
interests were about TO acquire this
property. This can now be verified
to a certainty ard it is understood to
be. only a question OF days until the
deal is contaminated. When the prop
erty is transferred that transfer will
carry with it all of the valuable fran
chise privileges and right of way con-
cessions owned by the Transportation
company. 1t will be recalled that these
are very liberal and that they We're
practically given away uDon the plea
that local capital was being employed
to build the lines and that the revenue
therefrom would be distributed to To-
cal people who became stockholders.

Only recently the Northern Pacific,
through it's local representative,
George Donald, has been acquiring
right of way into this city for the
Mckee branch, which will enter the
city on G. street. This line. it is UNI

These constitute the general plans
of the Northern Pacific in regard to
the new branch, but what of the effect
on the valley through the change of
ownership of the Transportation COM
pany? 1t has been freely stated that
such q move could not but help the
valley, because the unl' nited capital at
their command would enable the COM
pany to Immediately begin the con-
struction of lines into every valley and
into every section AT first blush that
would be the logical outcome, but a
close study of the situation reveals the
fact that nothing of the kind will take
place
