PREFERENCE RIGHT HOLDS.
Many Yakima People Will Benefit
From Policy to be Followed by
Interior Department

Preference rights to land withdrawn
from public entry have been recog-
nized by the department of the in
terror. This will be joyful news to a
great many people in North Yakima
and vicinity as there are many claim
ants here who had contested land, es-
pecially In the Tieton, which was
withdrawn from entry, and who felt
for some time that a previous ruling
doing away with preference rights
was doing them an injustice.
Senator Wesley L. Jones Of North
Yakima took the matter up with the
department Of the interior and on
Wednesday received a statement az
to the future practice regarding re-
entry on lands once withdrawn from
entry and subsequently opened. A
dispatch from Washington says:
claimants from the state of Wash
ington have asked if a claimant had
a preference right to enter lands thus
reopened, when his previous entry
had been Cancelled by reason OF a
withdrawal for reclamation purposes
There arc large areas Of this sort all
over the west, withdrawal being made
ostensibly for reclamation work, but
in reality to prevent patent pending
determination as to whether or not
it was needed for reclamation Dro-
jects.
Heretofore the department has
held that the entryman had no pref
erence right of entry but today IT
gave Senator Jones assurance that I'M
der tho conditions stated the sue
cessful contestant would have the
preference right when the lands werS
stored to entrv."

STRAHORN Is GOING NORTH.
Wenatchee People Greatly Interested
in What They Call Subsidiary
Line OF British Road

That the North Coast railroad is q
subsidiary company of the Canadian
Pacific railroad is the belief of the
people at Wenatchee who are now
greatly interested in the developments
of the Strahorn company as 1t is
working in their territory. The Wen
atchee people do not speculate at all
on the identity of the North Coast
but come out with a positive state
ment as will be seen in the following
from a recent issue of the WenatcheC
World.
indications clearly point to the in
tention of the North Coast railway
to build its road in the Columbia
valley during the coming season. The
preliminary survey. which was made
during the fall from Wenatchee north
as far as sPateros. is being followed
by a most careful one which Is said
by engineers to be the permanent sur

of way few miles south of Orondo.

alarmed over the work that Ia heing
done by the North Coast. party Of
Great Northern surveyors Is now
closely following the party from the
North Goa It. and it Is said that the
survey of the Great Northern crosses
that of the North Coast several times
within a distance of a few miles. Since
the recent attempt of North Coast
men to purchase a large tract of land
at East Wenatchee no other efforts
to secure right of wav have as vet
been made

pose of the North Coast to construct

MUST GET BUSY
TO FIGHT RIVER
AND Project CITY FRONT
Engineers Report on the Conditions
and Point Out the Immediate
Necessities.

Immediate work of defensive ma
ture against the encroachments of the
Yakima river on the front of the city,
east from Yakima avenue, is recon-
mended by Messrs. Harold Doolittle
and WI. Mcintyre. city and county
engineers, respectively, who acted as
a special committee of investigation
on behalf of the city. county and the
Commercial club. They recommend
work to cost about $4,000, estimated,
and they recommend several other
things which will aid materially. Their
report was submitted to the county
commissioners Monday. As the
transportation company is also inter
ested in the protection of the water
front, the engineer of that company.
together with city and county officials
and Messrs Stein & Thomson who are
also interested, will go over the ground
today and arrive at conclusion.
What Engineers Advise.
The recommendations of the en-
gineers are:
F'irst-That willow brush of rock
mattress be constructed Immediately
beginning at a point east of the Stein
N lhoihSch piopeltS anu SAtthuluS up
the river $50 feet and to cost approx
mately $4,000.
Second-That dixie be constructed
from the east line of the Stein &
Thomson property to the west end of
the new bridge and that the city waste
be deposited therein, the cost, approx
imately, to be $1,000.
Third--That the city waste be al
lowed to be used to strengthen the
dixie from the Stein & Thomson ranch
to the plant of the Yakima Meat COM
pany.
Fourth-That a survey of the river
be made for three quarters of a mile
above the new bridge to determine
whether the present channel can be
Strengthened and made to conform
to its old course.
As stated the Transportation COM
pany. the ranchers. the city and the
business men, all of whom are equally
interested, will today go over the
ground for an investigation.

BARE STONES
WHERE CHANNEL ONCE WAS
c. e. Lum Suggests to County Method
of Preventing Construction Of

believes that by constructing an "a"
shaped cribwork at the head OF the
island which carries two Of the
bridge piers he can divert the flow or
water and save the county from a
situation which will otherwise render
its work void or require that two ad-
ditional piers be built to spal the
stream. The work can be done at a
cost of about $4,000 and in his opin-
ion. and that uf County Commissi or
Meloy, will be effective. The river is
washing away the head of the island
and it is there that the bridge rests

croachments and to send the water

The transportation company is also
interested. 1t is engaged in the con-
struction of a bridge across the Yak
ina river. It's piers will be Just four
feet away. down stream, from the
Piers of the new county bridge. But
the river is changing and If thc trans
portation company has to plan to
span channel which does not now
exist it will not be able to take ad-
vantage of the county bridge protec-
ton. 1t is too late for the county to
alter its plans. 1t is figured that the
transportation company will rather
unite with the city than go a lone
hand against river such as the
Yakima.
Mr.. Ium wants an early answer
from the county, as he must act at
once. The question will be considered
today.

100 YEARS OLD.
Grandma .Sandersos, Of DeHIitt, No.,
Has Lived a Long and Useful Lift.

Grandma Sanderson is a wonderful
woman. She is in as good health to-.
day as ever in her life, although she
is over one hundred years old.
In a letter to the Peruna Drug Mfg.
Co., she gives the highest credit to Pc
runa for her excellent health and ex-
IRENE old age. Read what she says.
Surely the evidence presented by
ouch cases as these ought not only to
dispel prejudice against Peruna, but
inspire confidence in it.
II will send you picture that was
taken few weeks before my hun.
dredth birthday.
IT am true friend of the Peruna
Company. I have derived great ben
eft from Peruna many times. I can
say regard Peruna very great med
icine. I found out the merit of it 6
good many years ago.
"a little more than two years ago ]
contracted a very severe cold, which
resulted in la grippe. Owing to the
severity of the disease, and my ex-
treme age, my case was considered TO
be very critical I employed no doc
tor, but Peruna was the remedy I
used, and to-day my health is as good
es it ever was in my life.
However, still continue to take
Peruna, spoonful every night before
retiring"
Peruna is an ideal tonic for old
people. 1t is a compound of herbal
remedies that has been known to the
medical profession for many years.
Peruna operates as tonic by cleans
ing and invigorating the mucous men,
branes. This explains why Peruna
has become so extensively known as a
catarrh remedy. Catarrh is simply a
condition of depraved mucous mem.
branes. Peruna changes this deprav-
ity into healthful vigor.
Agreat many old people use Peruna,
and would not be deprived oft for any
consideration.
People who object to liquid medi-
cine n now secure Peruna tablets.

LOOSE ADMITS PACK OF LIES.
Premature Publication OF Confession
May Prevent AfIidavits Being
Secured.

NEW YORK, Dec. 16.-Another lit
tie furry struck New York tonight
which, buried down, resolved itself in
to series of charges and counter
charges such as has been frequent
since DR.. Cook, now m mysterious Sc
clusion, announced he discovered the
North Pole.
Dunkle tonight gave out the state
ment saying yesterday Loose showed
him copy OF a letter he had receiv-
ed inviting him to make a clean breast
of it. Dunkle says he told Loose he
ought to remember he already made
one affidavit and any contradiction Of
1t over his signature would brand him
as liar In one instance or other
Dunkle said Loose told him he never
made verbal confession and did not IN
tend to make a written one, although
he had been informed there was
$4,000 on deposit that would be turned
over to him the minute he put his sig
nature to the document. Dunkle gave
the name of the man. who, he said.
had made the offer to Loose.
Loose Specifies.
Captain Loose also gave out a state
ment in which he said he refused an
offer between $4,000 and $4,000 to re-
pudiate his affidavit. He says the offer
was first made December 10, again De-
cember / and on December 10 he re-
ceived a letter urging him to come
forward and tell the whole truth and
make a clean breast OF It. To none
of the communications did Loose, so
he states, pay any attention. He says
he understands that Osborn has seen
copies of these letters and that they
are the only basis for his accusations.
Captain Loose volunteered further
details of his alleged dealings with
Cook. He said the observations were
calculated on basis at nine o'clock in
the morning and he told the doctor

leaving out the question of compare
tive merit, they rank high as indi-
viduals. As a more specific indica-
ton of what he meant Judge Dixon
referred to the White wyandottes
shown by A. F. Linse of Mob Hill.
Judge Dixon said that II the birds
were his he could easily select from
those shown a cock and two hens
which no person would be able to
purchase for 500. The birds he said
were worth II in any part of the
United States where there are intel
ligent fanciers Practically the same
thing was said about some of the
other birds shown.
Many Sales are Made.
That the financial value Of some q
the birds shown is recognized right
here at home is shown by the fact
that number of sales have been
made at the show by exhibitors to
visitors who are seeking new breed
ing stock. While few of the fanciers
are willing to sell their prize winning
birds there are some and other who
have representatives of the ribbon
winning family to dispose of. In ad-
dition to all this orders have been
taken for eggs for the breeding sea-
son and as these eggs sell at about
5000 per dozen it is easily apparent
that the fanciers at least are making
