right here.

As Yakima Views Us.

Wenatchee is making strenuous
efforts to Guido Yakima at the A.-Y.-
P. exposition, says the Yakima Re-
public. This is the report brought
here by Architect Henry j. o. Pohl.
He says a committee from Wenatchee
was in Seattle and when it was dis
covered that Yakima was to have
the best site on the grounds the
committee at once set to work to Sc
cure a site, the members saying they
would go back to Wenatchee and Sc
cure a sum of money that would put
North Yakima in the shade.
Mr.. Pohl came over to meet the
A.-Y.-P. commission in the court
house on Friday afternoon. He says
it will be impossible for any coun-
ty to secure a better site than North
Yakima has, and it is doubtful ii
any sites are now to be had. Mr..
Pohl also says that Yakima will have
as ornate and beautiful a building
as there will be on the grounds, and
he believes that it can be erected and
finished within the original estimate
of $4,000.

WIDE TIRE BILL
WAS INTRODUCED
SENATOR KLINE WOULD MAKE
1T A CRIME TO USE NARROW
TIRED WAGON ON THE PUBLIC
ROADS.

OLYMPIA, Feb. 23.-Among the
new bills introduced in the senate
was one by Senator Kline, of What
com county. 1t is the measure which
prohibits the use of narrow tires on
public roads. A bill to the same eff
feet was killed in the house this
week, but the new measure is chang
ed so that the house can consider
this bill if it passes the senate.
Bills have also been introduced
for the regulation of civil engineers,
while another member wants the
architects to pass state examina-
ton and to be registered
Allen wants railways and electric
lines to have the right to cross state
lands, while Bassett wants to have
the removal of timber from state
lands regulated and the latter has
introduced a bill which permits the
posting with the state of state and
municipal paper in lieu Of >3urety
bonds as collateral for state deposits.
Cameron thinks insurance companies
had ought to pay the costs of being
examined, while Meyers wants all
coyotes and wolves exterminated.

GOING DRY
Anti-SalOOn League Will Flood Gov.
Wilson with Petitions for Spe-

Louisville. KY, Feb. 23.-From
reliable sources it was learned TO-
night that the AntiSaloon League of
Kentucky, which is in session here,
plans to at once lombard Gov. Will
son with Eeti ions to call a special
session of the legislature to pass a
uniform county unit measure, and in
case the Governor refuses to call the
extraordinary session the league will
bend it's efforts to pass what is
known as the "Four-mile law" at
the next regular session of the state
legislature. This law is the same
as that passed recently in Tennessee,
and means state wide prohibition.

CHILD IS NOT

MAY NOT BE HELD AS SECURITY
FOR PARENTS DEBTS.-WOM-
AN WHO HAD CHARGE or LIT
TIE GIRL, SOLD HER FOR UN.
PAID BOARD BILL.
(By Associated Press.)

New York, Feb. "a child can
not be bartered to settle debt, ac-
cording to a decision rendered by
Justice Greenbaum, in the Supreme
Court here.
The case came before him on q
writ of habeas corpus and involved 4
year-oli Hannah Blume, the daugh-
ter of Morris Blume and wife, who
are destitute.
The Blumes about year and
half ago left the little girl in charge
of a Mrs. Jennie Cohen. after making
arrangements to make payments OF
81 weekly for her care.
Thereafter finding himself out OF
work, the father was unable to make
the payments as agreed and when
after a few months he acquired some
money which was presented to MRS.
Cohen for payment, Mrs. Cohen an
nounced that, not having what was
due her she had sold the child to Mr..
and Mrs. Frank c. Duell for $50.
Mr.. and Mrs. Duell fatty refused
to give up the child, and as the lit
tie girls parents had since gone 10
San Francisco, relatives here began
habeas corpus proceedings to recover
her.

HEAVY Loss At
MEADOWS TRACK
HANSON BILL CAUSES HEAVY
DEPRECIATION AT TRACK
WHERE WORLDS RECORD HAD
BEEN LOWERED.

Seattle, Feb. 23.-That the legisla-
ture of 1903 has dealt the death
blow to horse racing in the state of
Washington is the opinion of every
follower of the racing game in this
section. mo betting, no horse rae
ing" is the way the racing men put
| it.
And this meant that the Meadows
track, rapidly attaining countrywide
fame as one of the fastest on the
continent, will never again have a
meeting. The passage of the Hanson
anti-gambling bill marks the passing
of the Meadows.
James A. McElroy, managing direc-
tor of the King County Fair associ-
alton, which owns the track, AMI his
associates drop at least $2SO,0OO
and probably over 100000 by the
blow to racing. Mr.. McElroy declares
it is useless to attempt to hold a
meeting without the betting feature.
The anti-gambling bill does not go
into effect until the middle of June,
and by opening twenty-day meet
ing in May the association could do
a little in the line of racing, but Di-
rector McElroy asserts that nothing
of this kind is planned. I'VE could
not hold a meeting with enough
horses he says, land the weather
is too uncertain"
AS a matter of fact, the Fair AS
ISOLATION is already planning to dis
mantle the track and sell the grounds
on which the beautiful mile course
is laid out. The association owns
40 acres of land, and with the COM
ing of railroads and manufactures
in the last few years the value of
the ground itself has increased won
derfully. The stockholders will be
able to sell out, probably without
loss on the money invested, in which
they are extremely fortunate, but
the earning power of the ground
dwindles many hundred per cent.
With racing in full swing, legally
and without hindrance, the value of
the Meadows plant is between $780,
900 and 100000, probably nearer
the latter figure. But when the Han
son bill went through the legislature
on the wings of a reform cry. the
value of the plant for racing became
nothing The grandstand, stables,
paddocks and other buildings are so
much lumber. The track itself, fit
ted by nature for great speed, is
worthless The value of the Mea-
dows is nothing but what the ground
will bring in the public market.
This will amount to about s2S0,000.
The Meadows track is naturally
one of the speediest in America. 1t
is laid out in the bend of river,
and there is in the ground spring"
that adds seconds to the speed OF
the horse. The tide from Puget
Sound comes sweeping up the river,
and when the tide is full the speed
of the track is noticeably greater, es-
pecially along the back stretch.
Last summer, with a mediocre lot
of horses, with one or two exceptions
nearly every track record was bro
ken during the 70 days of racing and
several worlds records equaled and
several broken.
Individual racing men in Washing
ton will not be hit extraordinarily
hard by the bill, for the reason that
there are few stables here.

PROHIBITION
To COME NEXT
FAIRCHTLD OF STATE
RAILWAY COMMISSION, AU-
THOR OF LOCAL OPTION
PLANK, SAYS 1T CANNOT BE
HEADED OFF.

Olympia, Feb. 23.-"Prohibition
will be republican issue two years
from now says Harry A. Fairchild.
chairman of the state railroad COM
mission and father of the local option
plank put in the state republican
platform at Spokane last May.
''The whole trouble is that neither
the Anti-Saloon league nor the sa-
loon interests came to Olympia with
the honest purpose of carrying out
the plank in the platform, that calls
for reasonable local option
Attorney Fairchild has read both
the Anti-Saloon league bill and the
local option measure passed by the
senate Thursday. One he considers
too stringent, as it means prohibition.
The senate bill is too liberal and in
reality means nothing. One was
drawn by men who want to end the
liquor traffic in every form, the 9TH
er by men who want no change in
present conditions.
Mr.. Fairchild is not alone in his
opinion regarding the two bills.
Prominent attorneys in both houses
of the legislature admit that the sem
ate bill is practically worthless. The
title of the bill does not cover the
contents. 1t is lame in dozen
places and can be torn to pieces by
any lawyer who attacks its validity.
That the bill is vulnerable even the
men who passed it do not deny.
But no matter what kind of a bill
is passed by the present legislature,
Attorney Fairchild says that prohibit
tion will be the issue in the republic
can party two years from now He
believes with others that the saloon
men have gone too far in meddling
with politics. He says that the peo-
pie now realize that the saloon will
rule unless it is put down, and he
states that two years from now the
issue will be prohibition.
That the liberals or "wets," as
they are termed, made a grave mis-
take in not amending the league bill
in the senate when they had the
chance, is the belief of Mr.. Fair
child He thinks that if the saloon
men had been content to accept a
good reasonable local option bill in
stead of passing the makeshift bill
that they did, they would have helped
their cause.
But he insists that the damage
has been done now The liberals
have shown that they want meas
ure that is worthless by putting
through the bill they did on Thurs
day. He declares that it is as far
from being reasonable" local option
as is the Anti-Saloon league bill. The
league bill goes to one extreme. The
senate bill goes to the. other.
What the outcome Of the present
local option fight in the legislature
will be Mr.. Fairchild does not pre-
diet. He says that he knows prohi-
bition will be a republican issue two
years hence, and being father of the
local option plank in the platform of
the last state convention, many be-
lieve that his predictions are correct.
Fairchild concludes:
"And / will be found fighting for
prohibition.
