FLOODS MAY
FOLLOW rain
SERIOUS DAMAGE IS FEARED
Gentle Chinook Sweeps Valley and
Snow Is Rapidly Disappearing
From Hills.

Fears that the rain which fell
throughout the Yakima valley Mon
day night may result in floods is en-
pressed by old Yakima residents who
have noticed conditions preceding
the overflows of the Yakima and Ma
ches rivers in previous seasons.
While the rainfall in the city was not
heavy, it was enough to take away
much of the snow and the hills are
rapidly losing their covering of white.
A mild chinook, or part of the
chinook, that struck the Puget sound
country, has been sweeping through
the Yakima valley for couple of
days and brought the temperature
to about 40 degrees above zero on
Monday. 1t was the warmest day for
North Yakima within the past ten
days, and was welcome, despite the
slop and the slush. But despite the
appearance of the sun during the day
and the warm weather, the old tim
ers kept nodding their heads and pre-
dieting troubles. That a heavy chi
nook or plentiful rainfall, clearing
the snow from all the hills, will re-
suit in heavy damage seems certain.
North Yakima experienced such
situation two years ago, when all but
one bridge in the Yakima valley was
swept away by the raging floods Of
the Yakima river.

CITY MUST HOLD
PAVING BONDS
INJUNCTION " MXlvOR SUI
Judge Preble Makes Restraining Or.
der Permanent Until Paving
Suit is Tried.

North Yakima must hold the paw
ing bonds by which George Milton
Savage is to be paid for the paving
work done in 1908 until the suit
brought by William McKivor. sub
contractor, is settled in the superior
court. Such is the decision of Judge
Preble, who made permanent the
temporary restraining order against
the city in decision from the bench
on Monday morning. 1t is the win
ming of the first step in the cast for
McKivor, who is represented by At
torneys Lynch & Grady.
Judge Preble in announcing his
decision said that clause IS of the
Savage contract, which the Tacoma
contractor signed with the city of
North Yakima, fully covered the uues-
tion of settlement of the city with
the contractor, in that it stated that
no payments need be made by the
city until all liens, claims and SINH
lar situations were settled.
The court held that McKivor has
a lien on the bonds, an equitable
lien, but that the city was practically
a trustee for the sub-contractors and
workmen in order that they would
not have to chase bonding companies
over the country to get damages or
amounts due them
