OVER MILLION IN YEARS BUILDING
improvements of Ono Kind and An
other I'm North Yakima and Vicin-
ity Reach High Total.

over a million and a half dollars
worth of new buildings have been
constructed in North Yakima and vi
entity within the past 10 months,
counting structures completed this
wear. though begun last year. and
those begun and finished this year
and those now in process of erection.
Leaving out a couple of churches there
have been no public buildings con-
structed within the past IL months to
correspond to the expenditures OF
year ago when the courthouse and
high school came IN to the calcula-
ton at over 100000 apiece and the
Y NJ. c. A. at about $4,000. New
church and church buildings, new
railway station and a lodge hall or
two have been added however. to the
structures within the city, while the
number of residences in the adjoining
district Is almost beyond computation
for the reason that II Is dimcult to
tell where to stop counting, new
homes being under construction in all
parts of the county.
West Side Developments.
One notable feature of the year 10
the development of West Yakima
avenue, where a least $40 front feet
Of buildings have been erected. And
this is only commencement OF the
work in that section. There Is now an
assurance that work will begin at the
earliest possible moment on the con-
structlon Of at least 425 additional
front feet OF business blocks with
much more in contemplation.
The type of buildings erected in the
city each year is improving, especially
the business blocks. The structures
are being carried higher and are be-
Ing better built Though the past
year has brought into existence no
residence to compare with the $2e,-
600 home of George Donald. erected
last year. there has been built. on the
average, n more substantial type OF
homes than was the case in previous
years. and more of them. Much Of
the home building has been on the
west side OF, and to the west of, the
city but within the city itself there Is
$4,000 of new residences and as
much more outside, yet within n rea-
sonable distance of the city limits.
over 100 new homes have been con-
structed in the Bonnie Brae, Chase
Hill. Mob Hill and neighborng sec
lions. The number south OF the city
Is smaller but is numerous.

Asked as to the cause of the death
of Gerald Lorey Kimble, son of Mr..
and Mrs. Eugene Kimble, Bonnie
Brae avenue. who died early Tues
day morning, DR.. H. B. Pratt said:
THE boy was practically uncon-
scious when l got there hut it was easy
to see. that Oedema of the lungs was
TIE cause of his death. That means
that he practically drowned in his
own secretion. We worked with him
all night and kept him alive just as
we would have done with person
drowned"
Thought Sausage Did It.
The boy. who is Is years old was
taken sick Saturday and 1t was stated
that ptomaine poisoning was the
cause o his death and that he had
been poisoned by eating some wiener
vert sausages, raw. Another boy
named Huetner, who is also sick. pur-
chased the sausages and the boys ate
them without boiling, young kimbel
eating the most. This fact was cir
culated through the neighborhood and
the report became current that pto-
maine poisoning was the cause of his
death.

LIQUOR PROBLEM
 IN CUBA SOLVED
COFFEE IS REGULATION DRINK IN HAVANA CAFES INSTEAD or
 wHIsKEY AND BEER.

l BALTIMORE, February 24.-That the liquor problem is solved in Cuba is the opinion of William Boucher, the well-known tobacconist, who returned yesterday from trip of nearly month to Havana and the surrounding country. 'fIn Havana they have little cafes, " said Mir. Boucher, "and the men sit about at small, round tables and smoke and drink, just as they do in our sa- looms. What they drink makes all the difference in the world, for it is nothing but the blackest of Porto Rican coffee. This would apparently solve the drink question, but would, probably cause the organization of anti-coffee societies all over the country"
 | Among the souvenirs Mir. Boucher brought back with him is a large-tre- mendonsly large-cigar, known popular ly in that country as the "pope" ci- gar. It is encased in a glass tube about nine inches long, and the cigar just fits comfortably in it. The price is about $l.25. It is said to be the same brand as is smoked by the pope, though no one in this country seemed to be at all certain that the pope indulges in the l weed.
 "The ball in honor of the inaugura- ton of President Gomez was one of the most magnificent affairs ever hope to sec," said MT. Boucher. "It was given in large public building on the Prado. The building is said to have cost s700,000. The very best of Havana society was there, and it showed de cisively that Havana is very exclusive as far as society is concerned.
 'One of the most interesting parts of the trip was our experience with the wireless. On our boat on the outward trip we rode into q heavy storm of the Jersey coast. All that night we were in communication with the ships about us, the one directly in our path, nun. Der of miles away, reporting sort of panic among the women and children.
 ''We were in touch with the home office of the steamship company, and if anything had happened, could have told them of 1t immediately.
 ''It is great comfort to know that you are not entirely isolated, and the wireless should prove tho means of mak- ing sea trips as safe as any others. Y

There is still that persistent rumor
 that Kibbey will not be governor more
 than two weeks longer, but 1t cannot be
 confirmed today. The prediction is
 made by J. c. Adams, who has been
 asked to resign the fair commission.
 When MT. Adams was asked what he
 would do in regard to his removal, he
 said that he could carry it up to con
 gress and to the president if necessary,
 and make statement of his case, at
 the same time asking for the gover-
 nor's removal. He states he does not
 intend to lay down and take his medi. cine. J. c. claims he loves fight bet
 ter than his race horses, and that he will keep on serapping as long as there is anyone to oppose him. .'When l go before the people," said MT. Adam, ''you will see who will win out. " Just what he meant by that he did not ex- plain. Perhaps Adams has his eye on the chief executive chair himself. It is generally understood that he is after it. So arc George Young and Sturgis.
 Assistant Manager Clark of the Unit ed Verde says that in endeavoring to provide for mining inspection, the leg islators have got the cart before the horse. It is pointed out that Arizona has no mining laws, no requirements, system of operation, or approved plans for the protection of the laborers, and that until such code is framed and enacted inspection would be farce, It is for this purpose that Hampton has introduced his bill creating commis- sion which has been favorably consi,,. cred in the committee of the whole in the council
 This commission shall be composed of five men, two of them practical min CTS, twominc owners and operators, (the term operators meaning to include gen eral manager, superintendent or other managing officer), and one member of the supreme court. In framing this bill it is said that Judge Sloan might be fav- ored as the member from the bench. This commission shall meet sixty days after their appointment. The sum of s650 is appropriated as special fund for the payment of compensation at $l0 per day and other expenses. The shall grant hearings for six successive days. When the hearing is the commission shall draft a code of laws regulating metal liferous mining, and providing for min ing inspection and present tho same to the governor, for delivery to the next legislature assembly.
 Mir. Clark says that in time an es. exponent shaft as provided in bill by | Weedin will be a proper requirement. Some of the small mine owners will | raise an obection to this on the grounds that they cannot afford the expense and [ the danger is not sufficient to warrant l the investment. As mining is still in it's infancy, and many regions in the territory are undeveloped, the majority of the legislators feel that nothing should be done that will cripple or have |

PHOENIX, Aria, February 24.-A. T. Thomson, of the Arizona Copper com pany, who is in this city working with the legislators for county division, when seen by your correspondent Monday stated that the effort to cut Graham in two counties was not mining com panies fight.
 "All the people of the east side are practically unanimous in the opinion that division is desirable," said Mr. Thomson. "Solomonville is 80 far re- ' moved from our section that the OK pense of transporting criminals, tho ma jority of whom come from the mining camps, and the cost entailed in transac ting business at the county seat to the people of Clifton, Morenci and tribu tary country, is great. It takes three vile and return home Moreover we are paying 75 per cent of the taxes of the county, and not receiving our share of the benefits therefrom. We want a county seat conveniently located. The east side is entitled to fair play, and that is all we are asking"
 "When asked if the assessment under Birdno had anything to do with the agi tation for division MT. Thomson said that was not an issue. The fight has waxed warm and it is certain that this measure will not be put through by the memorable grinding of the caucus. Should such a. thing be attempted there will be boiling faction that will give the other bunch swift brush. How the republican contingent will stand on this issue is not known. It is not likely that they will be unanimous. The posi- tion of the Espee is still unknown though that road will probably have to pay about sl0,0oo more in taxes in Ora ham.
