COUNTY MUST AID THE CITY.
Sewer Outlet Is Washed Out and
Other Property Is Endangered
by Shifting River Channel.

Unless Yakima county cooperates
with the city of North Yakima in
building distractions to the Yakima
river at the east end of Yakima ave-
nue. the water will encroach on the
land in such a way as to do great
damage to property City Engineer
Doolittle has taken the matter up
with Mayor Armbruster and It is
likely the mayor will present it to the
county commissioners.
Nine lengths of city sewer pipe
went out with the high water of
Thursday and Friday. In the past
five years Messrs. Stein & Thomson
have lost five acres of land by the en-
croachment of the river and Mr.. Doc
little says that if the channel gets
some eight or nine rods further west
it will sweep through Sumach park
and destroy that property. The water
is now and has been for some time
working west and a change of chan
mel may be expected at any high
water or freshet. The channel of the
Naches river is also changing north
of the city and fully half the flood
water from that river this week ran
south of the south pier of the North
ern Pacific railroad bridge. The for
nation of the banks and bars is con-
stantly forcing the water farther
south and in time 1t will cut a new
channel.
1t is the opinion of City Engineer
Doolittle that the city and the coun-
ty by cooperating can readily put up
ha Wi he
maintained in it's channel. This move
he thinks will be essential now that
a new bridge has been constructed
across the river east of the city as d
change in course will not only destroy
the roadway leading to the bridge but
will force the construction of a new
bridge if the high way is to be main
tanned.
Among the losses to be charged up
to the flood is the destruction of a
couple of spans of the old bridge in
the gap below Yakima City. This
bridge has been in existence for a
score of years. 1t was built origin
ally to carry but ii small traffic a
flock of sheep once in a while being
the bulk of its burden. 1t was con-
demned several years ago and has
been condemned number of times
since, but was closed to traffi. but a
month or two ago. 1t is no great
loss and will probably save an action
for damages.
Eleven bcnts of false work and a
crib, probably 10000 feet of lum Der
in all were carried out from the bridge
which the International Construction
company had under construction at
Mabton. This action resulted when
the false work from the lumber in
the bridge at Mabton was carried
against the bridge under construction
by the international company.

DIR. COOK DISAPPEARS:
MIND GROWS WEAKER
Confided to His Friends That awful
Strain was Driving Him
Distracted by Inches.

NEW YORK, Nov. 27.-Dr. Fred
erick A. Cook dropped completely
from public view today, not even
John B. Bradley, whose money was
behind Cooks polar expedition,
knows where he is tonight.
Confining his secret to only one
man and perhaps his wife, the ex-
plorer slipped quietly and mysteri-
ously away, leaving behind a string
of puzzled and eXasperated friends
and debate more acrimonious than
that which followed the announce
ment last September that he had dis
covered the pole.
Charles Wake, lawyer appears to
be the only man who knows the mys-
terry of Cooks wherea bouts Wake
firmly resolves to keep his lips sealed
until Cook himself sees fit to make
public his confidence.
Nerves Fail Him.
Some of Cooks friends say he was
on the verge of a nervous breakdown
and one intimate friends, who is a
newspaper man, tonight quoted Cook
rs follows: IF this thing keeps up a
Jew months longer | will be in an in
sane asylum" This friend tonight
said Cook told him he had been ad-
vised to go abroad and be near Co
penhagen if his presence was re-
quired there, and at the same time
obtain a much needed rest
His statement continued. DIR.
Cook had taken me into his conf
ience and | have been permitted -
examine his original data and, despite
all charges, | have absolute conf
lence in his integrity. l feel az con-
ident as DR.. Cook himself that the
decision of the University of Copen-
hagen viii be favoable
IAN this talk of a conspiracy to rob
Cook of his records is silly. although
| regret to say some of those who
have been his advisers have fully sue
ceeded in convincing him that such
l plot existed. Personally, l don't
know the present whereabouts of DR..
Cook"
Sailed at Noon.
The puzzle OF Cooks disappearance
began this afternoon. At noon Henry
Wellington Wack, Cooks personal
counsel, issued a formal statement
that Cook had sailed this morning on
the Cunard liner Caronia. Coincident
with this. reports are current that
Cook sailed on the steamship Havana
for Havana.i Tonight a wireless from

YAKIMA MAN ENJOYS EAST
ID. Nj. Rand Writes of His Trip to His
Old Home in New Hampshire
and of New York.

Former President d. M. Rand Of
the school board has reached Wash
ington, ID. c., in his journeyings and
proposes to stop there for few
weeks and see now the Washington
legislators, especially those from this
state behave themselves. To Yak

ant visit to his old home at Concord,
n. H. At Penacook, then Baskerville,
now ward one in Concord, Mr.. Rand
spent the first 16 years of his life
During the present visit Mr.. Rand had
the enjoyable experience of talking
to pupils in the public school in the
room in which he went to school 46
years ago. At the time Mr.. Rand at
tended it was known as the Elmwood
Literary institute. 1t as used as an
academy until 1872, then sold to the
town for a public school. 1t was built
in 1926 and the bell was the gift of
Daniel Webster. The Webster birth
place is within half a mile of the
school. Within a mile was born Cen

him on the spot" William Pitt Fes-

Place Full of History.
Near my old home" Mr.. Rand
writes, as Mrs. Dustin's island. In
1897 Mrs. Dustin and her nurse be-
ing captured by Indians and en- route
to the Indian village during the
night. when their captors were asleep,
killed and scalped their captors, ten
in all. You will find the account
of this in some school histories"
From Concord, Mr.. Rand went to
Lynn, Mass, where he went from the
academy to enlist. Mr.. and Mrs
Rand spent week in New York
which is a place. he says, where you
have to get a move on you all the
time" and thence to Washington

AsPERsIoN ON THE SECRETARY.
Serious Auditor Misinterpreted the vi.

Charles ]. Bonaparte, attorney gen.

ing at meeting of the civic reform

a sequence Of long, dull papers were
presented. Between papers Mr.. Bona
parte would arouse the jaded interest
Of the audience with humorous refer
ences and Jokes. Each was punctuat-
ed with q vivacity Of manner that ip-
dicated his French ancestry.
But-and here hangs the story
there was one in the audience to whom
Mr.. Bonaparte's name and work were
unknown, who contemplated these
mannerisms with growing disapproy-
al. He was serious minded, be-spec-
tacled man, tall and spare, with 9
vagrant wisp of gray hair rising from
a much rubbed and Wrinkled forehead,
and who seemed deeply interested I'D
the overly dull papers until Mr.. Bona
parte began to enliyen the dulness,
when his whole attention was directed
to the distinguished cabinet officer. He
glanced at his program and then back
to Mr.. Bonaparte, and finally turning
to his neighbor, asked: "Who is the
presiding of1icer?"
