DECISION ON SHEEP
ASSESSMENT
CHELAN COUNTY MAY PROFIT
BY DECISION IN REFERENCE
TO PLACE WHERE SHEEP MAY
BE ASSESSED.

AS a result of a decision rendered
by Judge Holcomb of Benton county,
Chelan county may profit very ma
terialIy. In the past many owners
of many sheep which are ranged in
the Cascades having paid their as
sessments in other counties. This
has been regarded as unfair to this
section of the country where the
sheep spend most of their time. In
discussing the decision of Judge Hol-
comb the Ellensburg Record says:
Sheep are to be assessed in the
county where the owner lives and not
in the county where the sheep are
found by the assessors. This is the
decision of Judge Holcomb, of Ben
ton county, rendered on Wednesday,
in the action of Dan Goodman, of
North Yakima, against Benton coun-
ty. The decision is of great import
ance as it establishes a principle and
settled a controversy involving thou
sands of dollars.
"The sheep of a number of Yaki-
ma men were assessed in Benton
county when grazing down there in
the early spring. They were also as
sessed in Yakima county, the home
of the owners. The assessors Of
Yakima, Benton, Klickitat and Kitti-
tas counties had an agreement to
check against one another so that
there would not be double assess
ment Benton county did not live
up to this agreement, but insisted
upon making its assessment stick.
"The sheep men did not want to
pay the tax twice so a number of
those who were affected paid their
money into court pending a judicial
decision.
Dan Goodman brought his action,
which has been used as test case.
The action was tried in the superior
court of Benton county this week.
''This rule laid down by the court
will be followed in the future unless
Benton county appeals to the SUI
preme court, when those. interested
will have to await the decision of the
highest tribunal'i

ENTIAT SCALPED
LOCALS
BY A SCORE OF Fl TO THE SEC.
OND TEAM OF THE WENAT-
CHEZ HIGH SCHOOL SUFFER-
ED DEFEAT.

Entiat high school added another
scalp to it's belt SATURDAY by decis-
lively defeating the second team OF
the Wenatchee high school on the
local grounds by score of 21 to .
The game was an exciting one from
start to finish and during the first
half it looked as though the lighter
team of the locals was going to DO
things with their visitors. They sue
ceeded in making a safety, but the
first half ended with sensational A.
yard run by the fast little quarter
back of the Entiat team, who re-
ceived the ball on a punt.
Entiat started off with more con-
fidence in the second half and soon
began to run over the locals. Three
times the feet Tommy Atkinson of
the visitors got the ball and got away
from the bunch for a touchdown, but
each time failed to kick goal.
The locals have reason to fee,,
though. that they played their best

young men much older and more ma

REALTY & INVEST
MENT co. HAVING PLANS
DRAWN FOR LARGE BUILDING
ON NORTH WENATCHEE AVE.

The Wenatchee Realty & Invest
ment Company is having plans drawn
for a fine apartment house to be To-
Gated on North Wenatchee avenue,
on lots owned by that company be-
tween the E. Wagner and A. McNeal
residences. The property owned by
the company at that place consists If
100 foot frontage by 1877 foot deep.
The building will be 1O0x127 feet
and three stories high. The first
story will be of concrete and the sec
ond and third will be of brick. The
building will be modern in every re-
spect and it is expected to make this
one of the handsomest apartment
houses in the state. Plans are being
drawn by Architect Sussex assisted
by Seattle architects. The building
when complete will cost in the neigh
borhood of $4,000. The Wenatchee
Realty & Investment company hard
ly thinks that it IS likely that any
other than the excavation work will
be done this fall, but work will be
started just as soon as possible next
spring.
Wenatchee has always had a house
shortage, but this year it is more diff
ficult than ever to secure living quar-
ters. During the summer a large
number of residences have been built
but Notwithstanding that houses are
at premium this fall. The new
building is intended to supply living
quarters for a large number of peo-
pie and it is safe to say that it will
be filled all the time.

Of Passing Interest
High Schools and Employment

Special committees in the high schools of New York City help students leaving school to find employment, and advise them in studies that fit them for practical life. This work is to be or ganized as the Central Vocational di- rcctory, and will have $6,000 a year at it's command A leader in this work, E. w.. Weaver, said: "The early high school was vocational school. It was high school established to prepare q boy for the learned professions. It has now become the right of all, and it is attended by the bright and the mediocre and the dull, by the rich and poor. It is still vocational school, because, regarded as d preparatory school, it prepares many for the professions. To day the demand is that many who at tend in this traditional high school shall be prepared for the trades and indus tries, but the trades and industries de- mand training and an education which only school of secondary grade can give"

An Historic Mexican Church

The Church of Santo Domingo, in Oaxaca, deserves the attention of tour ists in Mexico. It is built on the site of martyrdom, where ten priests were slain by Indians in the time of Cortez. Somewhere about 1850 Dominician friars began work on the church, aided by a gift from the king of Spain. It cost more money to build Santo Do mingo 's church than it did to build St. Paul's in London. It could contain four Westminster Abbeys Owing to the great height and thickness of the walls of the church, it has been used for fort on any and every occasion when necessary No wars, however, marred the serenity of the early Domi- nicans, and and each year saw the church increasing in wealth. The h. brary was ranked among the greatest in the republic. The interior of the church was decorated in many places with pure gold. Santo Domingo was turned into barracks by the French army of occupation, and the gold decorations, the fine paintings, and cost ly adornments were ruthlessly stripped from her walls. The friars were driven out, and for six years the church was fort and nothing more. The accumu- lated grandeur of 300 years was un- done in few brief months.
