CITY is SUED BY WATER co.
Shutting OF of the Flow In the Union
Ditch Causes Ranchers to Demand
Redress.

1t has come to a showdown be-
tween the city of North Yakima and
the Union Ditch company. AS re-
suit one thing is apparent, and that
is that North Yakima is in need of a
superintendent of public works That
fact has been apparent for some time
to city officials. Two or three suits
for damages will make it apparent to
the councilmen and the public. Twice
recently the water has been turned
off in the Union ditch without ami
person having consulted the officers of
the ditch company. The first time the
water was turned off by Theodore
Weisberger, contractor engaged in
sewer construction. President ]. NJ.
Brown of the ditch company saws he
was told by Mr.. Weisberger that city
officials had given permission for the
water to be turned off. Mr.. Brown
says he does not know who gave the
permission, but every city official he
has seen so far has denied it.
Water Shut OF BY City.
The second time the water was
turned off it was by the city, and still
Mr.. Brown was not consulted. He
to the water being turned off, but in
the interests of those who are patrons
of the company he must know when
it is to be turned off and when il is to
be turned on again. He has never
refused, he says, permission for the
city to shut off the water but never
before this year has the city taken
control and assumed the right to act
without consultation.
City Attorney Allen, when asked
about the situation said: Mr.. E own
refuses us permission to turn off the
water, but we will turn it off any
way" This has been done and nov
the city is to be sued. AS already
stated. Mr.. Weisberger is also TO be
sued.
Question of Principle.
THE time has come" said Mr..
Brown, when the question must be
settled whether this city dominates
this entire community. Every man
here is interested in North Yakima, its
growth and development and not ore
will do anything to prevent or ratari
that growth Everybody is willing to
do all he can. The city must take tAe
same attitude. This matter of turn
ing off irrigation water at its pleasure
is a serious affair. 1t affects the
ranchers in two ways. When there

MILLIONS ON MONEY
PAID IN DIVIDENDS
Stockholders Of Producing Mines i'm
Occur d'Alcnes Receive Large Sums
For Their Investment.

SPOKANE, Wash, July 10.-One
million, four hundred thousand dol
lars, representing dividends for the
six months ended June 80 was paid to
stockholders by the producing mines
in the Occur d'Alene district. Many
big producers curtailed the amount
thus paid out. while others, notably
the Success and Gold Hunter, suspend
ed payment of dividends until more
favorable conditions have made opera
ton of the properties more profitable.
The Federal Mining & Smelling
company paid the largest amount of
any of the companies operating in the
Occur d'Alenes, the total being $780,
900 on preferred and common stock.
On the latter the amount was $50, 900.
Heretofore the Federal has paid out
in dividends the first half year $40, 900
each month.
The Bunker Hill and Sullivan dis
bursed $345,000 during the first half
of the year. In January and Febru-
airy $4,000 was paid out each month.
The March dividend was 100000 the
April, May and June dividend was
$4,000 each month. The Bunker Hill
& Sullivan paid $4,000 a month in
1907.
The Hercules paid between $3.50 900
and 100000 during the first six
months of 1909. The output of the
mine averages 10000 tons of concen-
trates a year and the net profit on TO-
600 tons will run about $3.50 ton, de-
pending on the grade of ore.
The Snowstorm Mining company
distributed $1S0,000 Forty-five thou
sand dollars was paid in January,
February May and June. March and
April We're skipped on account of the
low production.
The Hecla management has not
given out the amount of dividends this
year, but, considering the output and
the dividends paid during the last few
years, it is estimated $4,000 was paid
to stockholders.
Dividends distributed by these COM
panes give but an idea of the amount
distributed in other ways. The net
profits, on which dividends are based
amount, as a rule, to less than half
the value of the ore taken from the
ground. Approximately one-third Of
the gross value of this ore is paid out
in the cost of production, including the
wages of the employees. Improve
ments and repairs reach from one
third to one-fourth of the gross value
of the ore extracted.

facilitate a state of affairs which will
do away with their positions.
LAS a matter of fact no less a per-
son than Former Indian Commissioner
Leupp believed that the Indian policy
of the country is all wrong. He
thought and many people, including
number of Indians agreed with
him. that the Indians should be given
patents to their land and placed on
their own resources He thought the
plan of toadying them along was
false one. Evidently the Indians do
not like the method.
However the special agent will be
back again in a short time and the
work will again be undertaken"

VACATION TRIP
COSTS MONEY
LONG TRIP TO TRY CASES
Absence of Justice of the Peace Hunt
Puts Puzzling Problem up to
County-Addcd Expense.

The vacation trip of Justice of the
Peace Heman ID. Hunt is causing the
county commissioners and prosecut-
ing attorneys considerable worry
and incidentally adding to the eX
pense of making the justice court
grin. During the absence of Justice
Hunt all the cases that would come
before him are being tried by Justice
Levi u. Karr of the Mob Hill pre-
cinct. This necessitates the hauling
of prisoners, witnesses. officers, and
lawyers three miles to try a case. ac
cording to law. Justice Hunt is on
a salary. Justice Karr secures his
compensation for dispensing justice
by enacting fees. Hesearch into the
statutes of the state by the county
commissioners and other parties de-
veloped the fact that no provisions
are made for the appointment of
judge who may be absent through
any cause.
Nagrancy Cases Start Trouble.
The present war being waged by
the sheriff and police against the
tramp evil has increased the business
of the justice courts three-fold The

Gang Still Works.
At a conference Monday morning,
between Judge Preble and Deputy
Prosecuting Attorney Moren, it was
decided that the chain gang could be
worked, without transgressng on the
legal rights of the prisoners. The
question arose after the courts deci-
sion Saturday holding that VIII Walk
er, colored man was entitled to free
dom, that all of the mem bers of the
chain gang might be entitled to free

decided that the merits of the cases
justified their being held, although a

was put to work Monday morning,
and hereafter all cases of like ma
ture will be tried before Justice
Karr.

RIPLINGER'S LAWYER SAYS
NO IMMUNITY Is WANTED
Insists He Came Back to Seattle Pre-
pared to Sfand Trial and Prove
That He Is Innocent of Wrong.

SEATTLE, July S.-"John Riplin-
ger came back to Seattle absolutely
on his own motion. He was not acting
upon advice when he departed from
his Honduras fruit farm. No attempt
at a settlement of his difficulties has
been made. Conditions are just eX-
actly as they We're when the informa-
ton charging embezzlement was filed
on May I, 1907. There has been no
'frame-up' whereby Riplinger is to
escape punishment if he has done
anything criminal. Without seeking
the advice of anyone, he has come
back to Seattle confident of his ability
TO prove his innocense of any wrong
doing"
The above is the statement of VIII
Fl. Morris, when asked regarding the
report that everything had been fix
ed" in Seattle and that John Riplinger
had not returned until assured that
there would be no danger to his lib
ert.-.
Mr.. Morris, who has beenRiplinger's
attorney for the past three years is
most emphatic in the declaration that
no efforts whatever have been made
TO effect a compromise. He is equal
1y emphatic in the statement that Rip
linger had received no advices from
Seattle that had anything to do with
his return at this time.
Word From Riplinger.
Morris knew nothing about Riplin-
gers contemplated return until about
the 18th of June last, when he receiv-
ed a message stating that the former
city comptroller was about to start for
Seattle. This information Morris kept
absolutely to himself. and ii was not
until II o'clock yesterday morning
that it became known elsewhere in Sc
attic th,t Riplinger was to arrive
Wednesday.
Will II. Parry, G. b. Yandell and
the two or three other friends of Rip
hnger who met him in Judge Gordon's
court room Wednesday afternoon had
only learned a few moments before of
Riplinger's return. They had been in
formed that Riplinger was to appear
in Judge Gordon's court early in the
afternoon and had gone there for the
purpose of greeting him.
Reach Court Room.
Riplinger, with his attorney Mr..
Morris, Henry Beck and Herman
Goetz, reached Judge Gordon's court
room about O'Clock in the afternoon.

INDIANS HAVE STRONG VIEWS
Will Sign Over Their Lands If the
Terms Are Made at All Salts
factory TO Them.

Special Agent Robin, who was on
the reservation this year attempting
to get Indians to sign up their lands
under the Jones tct for the reclama-
ton of the reservation has neither
finished nor abandoned his work
here said reservation resident to
the Herald last night. He will be
back again this month and it is pos
sible will go to work under new con-
ditions and on a basis which will be
much more satisfactory to the Indians.
While delay in the Wapato project is
placed at the door of the Indian there
is much to be said on some other
points of the matter. 1t is also,
nice question whether any blame can
be placed on the Indians for their re-
fusal to part with so acres of their
80 acre holdings.
Indians Are Wards.
1.-THE conditions under which the
Indians are asked to dispose of their
lands are conditions which no man
would agree to in business deal. The
Indians are not to receive money at
all. That money will be placed in
bank, at 2 per cent. and the interest
will be paid over to the Indians by the
agent. The agent is able to promise
the Indians $40 month, or there
abouts, and perhaps more, but that,
he tells them, all depends upon Wash
ngton.
THE Indians say that if they are to
sell so acres and come down to a 20
acre holding that they must have
money. If they are to be compelled,
they say, to compete with the white
man in diversified farming they must
have the money from the sale of their
lands for the purchase of machinery
and for the improvement of their re-
naming tract. The Indians, of course
do not expect that it will take all of
the money received from the sale of
60 acres to pay for the irrigation of
20 acres. The majority of them are
wiser than that. AS a general state
ment the proposition looks like
pretty poor business deal to the In
dams and they cannot accept If the
conditions were made different the
Indians would not hesitate second.
About the Indian Bureau.
"Then there is another phase of the
question and that has to do with the
Indian bureau and its officials When
the reservations are all opened there
will be no need for the services of
large number of those who are now
in the bureau and they know it.
Some of them cannot be expected to

The information filed against Rip
finger lNO years dSO' anu plit Sto'
after his departure from Seattle,
charges the embezzlement of $4,000 in
converting to his own use check for
that amount given him as city comp
troler by the Independent Asphalt
company on March II. 1906, as the
unearned portion of an improvement
bond issue for 100000, given to the
asphalt company in payment for city
work Riplinger cashed the check at
the Washington National bank and is
charged with converting the money to
his own use.
Total Shortage.
Riplinger's alleged total shortage in
his accounts with the city was re-
ported by auditors to be in the neigh
borhood of $6S.000. He was inform
ed against, however. only in connec-
ton with the disposition of the check
of the Independent Asphalt company.
1t was in answer to this charge that
Ripinger yesterday afternoon gave
himself up to Clerk Dial Roberts Of
Judge Gordon's court. Without the
usual formalities. bail was fixed by the
court in the sum of $4,000 and i'm
provided by Herman Goetz
and Henry Beck. Riplinger then left
the court room, going with his attor-
ney to the offices of Morris, Southland
q Shipley in the Halter building. No
date for his arraignment. either in
the justice court or in the superior
court. has yet been fixed
To Remain i'm Seattle.
According to Riplinger, he will re-
main in Seattle at least until his case
is disposed of. After that he may re-
turn to Honduras, but it is quite evil
dent from conversation with him that
he would rather make his home in Sc
attic. Mrs. Ripinger and her child
rem are now in Honduras. at Iriona,
where the Riplinser farm is situated.
While in Seattle Riplinger is guest
at the Palace hotel.

begins to run low in the bitches the
ranchers naturally open their gates
for more water. They don't know
what is going on in the city. When
the water is turned on again it finds
these gates open, perhaps at midnight,
and floods the tracts.

Irrespective of the damage theI e
is a principle. Those interested in
the ditch have written to M as presi-
dent, asking If North Yakima can in
terfere with our property at will. They
have done more than that. They have
not advised me to fight but they have
insisted that l do fight. They tell me
that if their property is to be de-
stroyed by the city they would rather
exhaust it themselves in litigation.
They believe that in that way they
may save something from the wreck.

be, it will probably be a four-cornered

No Responsible Head.
