as this. drink to the health of the
American navy"
This was the toast of President
Roosevelt today as he stood radiant
ly happy at the conclusion of the re-
view and ceremonies attending the
welcome home of the American bat
tleship fleet The toast was drunk
by the admirals and captains of the
fleet. Rear Admiral Sperry respond
ed by calling attention to the mess
age sent the fleet as it was starting
from San Francisco, stating that a
great responsibility rested upon it.
"That we have today fulfilled the
responsibility makes it the proudest
moment of our lives"
President Roosevelt was in the
same joyous mood as the day the
fleet sailed IA months ago and con-
stantly expressed his enthusiasm over
its safe and triumphant return. To
the men and junior officers the presi-
dent expressed his appreciation and
thanks of the country for the pres
tige which the cruise of the fleet had
given to the American navy. Visits
were made to the four divisional
flagships, Connecticut, Louisiana
Georgia and Wisconsin. The day OF
the fleets home coming was cold and
gray, a drizzing downpour of rain
followed up in the early morning by
a fog which threatened to seriously
interfere with the arrangements.

WILL VOTE ON WATER BONDS
Municipality Owned Water Works in
Prospect, While StrahOrn Seeks
Electric Franchise.

Water works owned by the NUM-
cipality of Sunnyside and an electric
light and power plant owned by the
new Strahorn company building a
transmission line through the Yaki-
ma valley are in prospect for that
city, according to reports brought to
North Yakima by leading men of Sun
nyside.
Within a couple of weeks Sunny
side will vote on the proposition OF
issue of municipal bonds for water
works. 1t Is expected this will carry.
The plan is to sink artesian wells
near or in the city and to pipe the
flow through the town.
Robert E. Strahorn has applied
for a franchise for electric light and
power in Sunnyside, and this petition
is now before the city council. Fa-
vorable action is expected. Five
carloads of poles for the transmits
sion line have been received in Sun
nyside and the company's men are
doing rapid work in the lower part
of the valley connecting up the sys-
tenn.
r. c. Lichtv of Sunnyside stated
Friday evening that the erection of
~ new store buildings had been start
ed in Sunnyside. and that the pros
poets are that the size of the bust
ness district will be doubled during
the year. About so new residences
have been built during the winter
and number of contracts for spring
work are being let.
A. G.. Fleming of Sunnyside brings
a similar report and says that there
is a greater demand for Sunnyside
town and acreage property than ever
before. This reflects the similar con-
dition in North Yakima and In other
points of the county

patch that brought this news to
North Yakima, Postmaster Lemon
said that it was an assurance that
immediate building work would be
taken up on the government proper
ty at Third and Chestnut streets,
where the postoffice building site has
been located. The property has
frontage of 100 feet on South Third

street.
Under the supervision of Postmas-
ter Lemon, the government has al
ready had the lot surveyed, the curb
lines placed and test pits sunk to de-
termine the condition of the sub-soil.
The next step will be to accept the
final plans of the government archi-
tects and to advertise for bids. The
appropriation that is under consid-
Grafton Of congress carries sufficient
to do this work, the excavating aud

Postmaster Lemon says that the
new building will occupy practically
all of the lot and will be built Of

tons.
Congress Is on record for total
appropriation Of $140,0OO for the
building. of which 900 has al
ready been spent for the building
site.

The large amount to be secured in
North Yakima includes the funds
also, from Mob Hill, Fruitvale, Fair
view and Hopdale.
The total amount of the appor-
toned list is $25,1O4. If this is sub
scribed in it's entirety the committee
will have an available fund of $34,-
104, enough to make wonderful
and handsome exhibit of the products

In order that the various districts
may have speakers at meetings
where the plans will be fully explain
ed, Secretary Newcomb will inform
the subcommittee of these districts
and, meetings will be called. Four
men have already volunteered their
services in the cause, to do this ex-
planning and boosting: A. H. Hen
ry, Charles Bailey, w. P. Sawyer and
W. W. Butler.
A. Fl. Henry and E. G. Peck will
visit Sunnyside on Market Day,
March Z, and will talk to the ranch
ers who come to the city on that day
in regard to the movement.
When asked by the committee
whether or not the commissioners will
take advantage of the law now before
the legislature, empowering the levy
ing of an additional tax to build
county buildings at the fair, the COM
missioners said that if the bill was
passed and the fund was needed, the
appropriation and levy will be made
at once. The bill is under considera-
ton in the legislature at Olympia and
has an emergency clause attached.

BURLINGAME SELLS LAND
Transfer of 1000 Acres Under TietOp
Canal Was Made on
Saturday.

Holdings of f. c. Burlingame and
the Yakima Apple Land Co. coming
under the Teton canal, amounting
to approximately 1000 acres of the
finest property in the Wide Hollow
section. were sold Saturday to the
Her Investment Co. While the for
NAL transfer of the acreage had not
been made Saturday evening, the an
nouncement was made by men asso-
ciated with the Burlingame interests
that the deal had been practically
closed and that the abstracts were
being inspected.
The consideration in the deal has
not been announced, but it is under
stood that the price was in keeping
with Tieton prices
Burlingame came into possession
of this large property, and additional
acreage which has been previously
sold, when he started the building
of an irrigation canal system, which
was later abandoned.
The Her Investment Co. has been
formed by number of the leading
men of North Yakima and has large
holdings under the Teton canal in
addition to the Burlingame land pur-
chased Saturday. All of this proper
ty will be plated and sub-divided

opposed the bill were Paulhamus,
Poison. Rosenhaupt and Stevenson.
This measure carried an emergency
clause and will become effective i'm
mediately after receiving gubernator-
ial approval. The bill has already
passed the house and is now ready
for the governors signature.
This bill is intended to enable those
counties which wish to erect special
buildings at the exposition to do so by
the use of public funds if the county
commissioners are agreeable. AS an
alternative proposition the extra
money involved will be used to in
crease the size or the quality of the
exhibits made at the exposition.
A number of the counties in this
state have been anxious to make a
more extended display than the acts
of 1907 permitted.
A number of counties. chief among
which are Yakima and Pierce, have
been anxious to make a more extern
sive display than would be possible
under the laws of 1907. Pierce
county was one of the prime movers
in the plan and Yakima county imme-
diately fell in with the suggestion.
Sufficient money for the exposition
display, the publicity fund and all of
the work planned by the A.-Y.-P.
committee, the various commercial
clubs and county commissioners is
now possible. The whole program
as outlined at a meeting held in the
week, is now an assured fact.

Construction work ON the Yakima
county building at the Alaska-Yukor-
Pacific exposition, to be the hand
soonest and largest county building
on the grounds and rival Of the
state structures, will be started be-
fore March 1, the committee repre-
senting every district of Yakima
county having arranged Friday for
the raising of fund of $4,000, in
addition to the tax fund of $4,000

fair.
Such was the elimination of an
important gathering held on Friday
afternoon at the county court house
The county commissioners room was
filed to overlooking with the dele
gates from every town of the coun-
ty, about so men being present.
Probably the most important step
of the meeting was the acceptance of
the Yakima building plans. drawn
by Architect H. ]. o. Pohl, who was
present and showed floor drawings
to the committee. The plans accept
ed supplant all others previously
considered, owing to the change in
site and the determination of the
committee to take the larger area for
the building.
AS planned, this structure will cost
approximately $4,000, and will con-
sist of a main building and two
wings, each of two stories. There
will be three entrances. The main
floor will be devoted to a general
reception space and exhibit hall, and
on the second floor will be the office
of the executive officers of the dis
play, mems lounging and smoking
room and reception and rest rooms
for the women.
This building is to be located di-
rectly opposite the California and the
United States government buildings,
diagonal from the Washington state
building and in the same block as the
Missouri state building, having a po-
sition OF striking prominence.

the building. but this will conform
to the general lines of the fair build
ings.
In accepting the plans, the COM
mittee authorized the architect to
complete the detailed plans and sub
nit them to contractors of Seattle
and North Yakima for bids. These
bids will be asked at the close of the
coming week, and will be opened
either on February 90 or "a. Work
will be started Immediately. Archi-

the land cleared for the building.
In order to provide funds for the
