POLLUTION Of
YAKIMA RIVER
LOWER VAltIY Towns PROTEST
Petitions Being Circulated i'm Lower
Towns--l.aw Suit One OF the
Possibilities.

That the right of North Yakima to
dump its sewage into the Yakima riv-
or will come up again in aggravated
form is certain if reports of the cir
culation of petitions in the lower val
ley are true These petitions are
purported to he an expression of low
or valley sentiment in regard to this
question and 1t is said that they also
aim to bring the matter before the
board of county commissioners.
One of the points in the coming
FIGHT will be to secure from the board
of commissioners consent to stand be-
hind tho petitioners in case of n law
suit with the city of North Yakima.
the county to bear the expense of the
trial.
1t is known that a committee from
the lower valley approached Mayor
Arm bruster few weeks ago to as
certain his attitude on the PROPOSE
ton. In an interview last evening
the mayor stated he told the commit
toe that his attitude would be gov
erned largely by the legal phase of
the case. pointing out the decision
of the court when ST. Louis brought
suit against the city of Chicago for
pslluting the waters of the Missis-
sippi river through the Chicago drain
age canal.
In handing down the opinion the
court called attention to the fact that
the st. Louis sewage found similar
outlet in the same river and that be-
fore st. Louis could establish n case.
she must make other provision for
her sewage.
The mayor says that he told the
committee that If the lower valley
towns. consisting of Mabton, Gran
ger, Sunnyside. Zillah, Toppenish and
Wapato, which are making the pro-
test, would make the same provision
for their sewage that they are asking
of North Yakima, it would be time
to view the situation in different
light.
That the matter will be before the
public again soon is certain.

SUBSEWERS
NEW GRADES
BIG IMPROVEMENT UNDERTAKEN
Sewer Laterals to Take i'm Whole
City-Uniform Grades to Be Run
and Fixed by Ordinance.

Two very important steps are
about to be undertaken under the
direction of City Engineer Doolittle.
One is the drafting of profiles for the
extension of subsewers and laterals
to all parts of the city. The other is
the establishment of grades on every
street in North Yakima.
Subsewers Going In.
In the agitation for better health
conditions some months ago, the fact
was brought out by the Herald that
only a small area of the city was
served by sewers. AS result of that
agitation it became evident to every
one that the immediate extension of
sewer laterals was imperative from
the standpoint of the public health.
Mayor Armbruster promised upon
taking office to use his utmost influ-
ence to this end and the city engin-
GERS office is now at work on the
specifications which will undoubtedly
lead to the greatest amount Of sewer
construction during the coming year
that the city has ever known.
Establishment of Uniform Grades.
At the present time, Yakima ave-
nue. is the only street in the city the
grade of which has been established
by ordinance. The grades on the 9th
err streets are established when each
local improvement district is formed
and the only way to ascertain these
grades is by consulting an unending
number of profiles in the engineers
office, many of which date back for
years and some of which have been
lost.
In the changing of engineers from
administration to administration. an
endless confusion results and grades
of streets are beginning to conflict so
that people who improve their proper
ty are not exactly sure at the pres
ent time whether they are building
their homes too high in the air or
down in gulch.
The engineer has already been en-
powered to run uniform grades
throughout the city and employ such
assistance as he requires to properly
carry out this program, which will
be of untold value to property own
ers. When these grades have been
run, an ordinance will be passed
enacting the whole into law.

ALEX. MILLER
IS PRESIDENT
Annual Election and Smoker Passed
on Quictly-New Industries to
BE Looked After.

The annual election of the Com
mercial club was pulled off accord
ing to schedule in the club rooms last
evening, resulting in a very close race
between the opposing candidates for
president, Alexander Miller leading
John H. Weigel by three votes.
Messrs Miller and Weigel were
nominated by the separate nominal
ing committees last week and Mr.
Weigel Immediately stated that he
would not be candidate for the
office. Despite that fact he received
a vote which landed him very near
the top of the list when the ballots
were counted.
The election was Very quiet af-
fair and the utmost of good feeling
prevailed, because both tickets were
considered thoroughly representative.
A.. B. Weed and A. H. Huebner
we're selected as vice presidents and
H. c. Lucas as treasurer
The five members of the governing
board elected are as follows: A. H.
Henry, Chares Heath. J. L. Hughes,
P. A. Otter and w. M. Nelson.
The five trustees elected were:
Charles Carpenter, George Rankin,
Owen Jones, E. J. Wyman and Fred
Parker.
At the conclusion of the election,
those present listened to short talk
from Mr.. Mortland, of the Mortland
Bros. Co., who have recently decided
to bring vinegar factory to this city.
He stated that he was DESTROYS of
selling some stock in the city and
that he desired the cooperation of the
business interests to this end Messrs
Miller, Durley, Bayle, Remy and
Hughes were selected as a committee
to assist.
A motion was also carried asking
the new president to appoint COM
mittee on manufactures, to look af-
ter the interests of new concerns de-
string to locate in North Yakima.

LOCAL OPTION
IS DEFEATED
IN LARGER CITIES OF HE SIAit
Indications Are That Measure Which
Will BE Passed Will Not Re Far
Reaching in Scope.

OLYMPIA. Jan. ga bill pro-
viding for an eight hour day for v
men employed in laundries, sto
and other specified lines of trade a
manufacture occupied almost the
elusive attention of the lower bral 8
of the legislature today. Attem .:
to amend the bill so as to permit =
payment Of overtime at double W.
es; to make the employees equally
bic with the employer; to extend
operation Of the act to include nurses
and domestic servants, were con-
demned by the labor leaders as fill
clustering. The bill is expected to
pass the house in the form intro
duced.
The senate today sent the Falcon
er-McMasters local option bill to the
judiciary committee in spite Of the
majority report of the public morals
committee favoring the passage. This
is considered a death blow to the
"anti-Saloon League BILL" as the
Falconer- McMasters bill is known
The house yesterday took similar ac-
ton. 1t is generally expected, how
ever, that local option bill will be
passed by the legislature as was
promised in the platforms of both
parties before the election, but ii
seems to be the general opinion that
the "anti-Saloon league measure is
too radical.
This bill includes counties, cities
and precincts in its operation and
provides for special elections to be
called by petition. It is believed that
the bill which is finally passed will
exclude first. second and third class
cities from it's operations.
The league element opposes such
a law, as they contend it would af-
feet ten per cent of the population
On the other hand the opponents OF
the League" bill declare the League
act is euivalent to prohibition.
The senate today defeated a reso-
luton calling for the investigation
of various state officers on charges
of having accepted from transporta,
ton and telephone and telegraph
companies franking privileges. A
resolution was also recited that the
public confidence in the judiciary had
been impaired by the recent investi
CATION of the State Bar association
in the Root case and called atten
ton to recent newspaper articles in
connection with the recently elected
insurance commissioner. The author

RICE EXPLAINS THE
COUNTY TAX BILL

Much of the opposition to the Coun-
ty Tax bill comes because the provis-
ions of the bill are not clearly under
Stood, +" said Representative Rice, chair
man of the House Finance committee,
yesterday. "At least, it appears SO to
me.
''The bill as amended is one to which
exception cannot very well be taken,
although so much opposition is shown
that l do not know whether it will pass
in the House or not. AS a matter of
fact the bill ought to be looked upon
as one to bring into force the law passed
at the last session of the Legislature
to give the counties the power to raise
money for improvements, on bonds.
That law was declared to be unconsti-
tutional, you will remember, on the
grounds that as the counties had not
the power to raise taxes they could not
have the power to borrow.
1.-THE bill, briefly stated, is this: If
fve-sevenths of the Board of Super
visors desire 60 raise a special tax fund
for special purpose they may pass an
the money is to be spent and the tax
rate, not to exceed quarter of one
per cent on the full cash value of the
properly in the county Before such
an ordinance can come into effect it
has to be submitted to the Governor,
who can veto it as whole or in part.
Should he agree that the objects named
in the bill are worthy, the territorial
tax assessor and his deputies collect
the county tax. The whole matter is
left to the Governor for his approval
and the collection is left with the Ter
ritory, so that no expensive system of
county assessors or collectors is neces-
sary.
Now that we have turned the
schools, jails and other things over to
the counties, there ought to be some
way whereby the counties can raise
special fund when it is necessary to
replace schoolhouse or undertake any
extensive. system of new road building,
the opening of new streets and such
things
