to the growing towns in the valley of
the Columbia river.
All Travellers are Boosters.
Practically every citizen of North
Yakima who has been overland to the
Columbia has been impressed with the
fair present condition of the road and
with the fact that a small outlay of
money will make 1t a superior high
way. For long time there has been
belief that something should be done
for the betterment of it. l.. A. Dash
has brought the matter to a focus and
says that he will give his time and
energy to the collection of the money
needed. He has done more. He has
consulted with Messrs. Title and
Chandler of the Yakima Auto garage
and they have consented to put on two
cars for a tri-weekly service when the
road is improved.
This City Losing Business.
There Is now a very large travel

DIVORCES ARE
GROWING CROP
IN YAKIMA COUNTY COURTS
Mildred Walling and Viva Stump Ask
for Separation from Husbands
Cruelty and Vile Language.

Mildred Walling and Viva NJ
Stump were enrolled Monday in the
long list of people in this county who
have become principals in divorce ac-
tions. The number of divorce actions
filed in Yakima county within the past
80 days is larger than for the same
period of time at any other time in the
history of Yakima. This fact appears
to have become known to the public
as well as to those who have need to
watch the court records. This was
made plain Monday when a letter was
received at the office of the clerk OF
court addressed to the Recorder of
Divorces" The title has been accept
ed and conferred upon c.. Roy King
he being the only untitled person in
the entire building. Moreover, he has

he addresses her, calls her bad names

he has neglected his family and that
he is proflgiate. He left his family
at Bickleton, she says, one time when
he went to work at Prosser for the
Northern Pacific railroad, with NO
food except flour in the house, and
they were compelled to live on flour

says that her husband has called her

reconciled. She asks a divorce, $25
a month alimony and the custody OF

answer admits the allegation but
asks that he be given permission to
visit his daughter.

BREWSTER PEACH CROP HEAVY
RumOrs Of Injury Through Cold
Weather are UnfOunded-

BREWSTER, Wash, April 30.--The
report circulated last winter that the
local peach crop was destroyed by
cold weather has been proven with
out foundation. The orchards
throughout the valley are in full
bloom and indications point to an I'M
usually large crop.
The Okanogan Power and Irrigation
company is rushing the work on the
branch canal from Whitestone lake
which will irrigate 500 acres pur-
chased last June from the state. II
has since sold practically all the land
at an average of $3.50 an acre, includ.
ing water right. About So men are

To CONDEMN
OLD STACKS
ORDINANCE AIMED AT FRONT ST,
Embraces Danger of Damage Suit
Against City-Move Toward the
Adjustment of Menaces.

An ordinance having for its purpose
the adjustment of the Front street
cribs" and embracing the danger of
damage suits against the city, was
presented to the city council Monday
evening. Owing to confliction with
the recently passed building ordinance
the ordinance was laid over for fur
Their consideration. The ordinance as
read provides for the destruction of
all buildings that have fallen into de-
cay by the city. after the service of a
seven-day notice on the owners. Az
ter the tearing down of the buildings
it is up to the city to prove that the
destroyed property was a fire, health
or moral menace.
Modes of Procedure.
1t is provided in the ordinance that
the chief of police. the health depart
ment, or the building inspector, sep
ately or collectively, shall report that
the buildings are menaces to the coun-
ell before the taking of action. The
property placed under the ban by a
provision of the ordinance must have
decreased 80 per cent under the origi-
nal value. City Attorney Allen stated
that he would not guarantee the city
from law suits resulting from the ac-
ton of the ordinance, but was conf
dent of it's validity. The burden OF
proof is placed on the city.

ANOTHER MILE OF GAS MAINS
Company Will Start in Monday on
Work Which Will Cover Various
Parts of the City.

Work will be inaugurated Monday
in the extension of mains of the gas
company. The management of the
local plant is already in the field for
a corps of pick and shovel artists and
expects to be in a position to give a
steady man fairly steady employment,
since 5000 feet of mains will be laid
under present plans and it is alto
gether probable that another mile
will be added to this befor ethe sum-
mer ends. The number of gas con-
sumers, or would-be gas consumers,
in this district is growing rapidly and,
of course, there is guarantee of a
large patronage from the district
through which the mains are to be
extended.
Plant Work Delayed.
Work on the plant itself is delayed
for the present. 1t had been expected
to start in about this time with con-
siderable in the way of changes at the
plant but the material has not arrived
and there is no definite information as
to when it may be expected. Pending
this, however, the extension to the
mains will be carried out as follows:
on Eleventh avenue south for four
north, on Naches avenue north, on
south Sixth street and probably on
Eighth street north. Other extensions
will be taken up when this is COM

the road is accomplished. Maybe
$1,000 will be needed for the purpose,

FRANCHISE
LAID OVER
WARM SESSION OF The COUNCIL
Temporary Victory for G Street Prop
erty HOlders-Practical Engineers
Testify in Favor of II Street.

The ordinance granting to the
Yakima Valley railroad a franchise to
operate a railroad on G street was
laid over until the next regular meet
ing of the city council at the Mon
day evening session of the body. The
action of the council came as a sur
prise to the supporters of the fran
chise and was an eleventh hour vic
tory for the G street protestants. 1t
was early evident from the tenor Of
the questions directed at the witnesses
for the property holders that the
passage of the ordinance was a matter
of time, and the motion of Council
man Smith to lay the matter over for
further consideration was the sign of
a weakening front on a prearranged
program.
Fight for New Route.
Under the direction of Attorney H
j. Snively witnesses for the property
holders on G.. street laid before the
council the detriments of a railroad
operating in the heart of a growing
and populous residence district. A
map showing the proposed line on G
street, and its relative position to H
street, already occupied by the spur
of the Cascade Mill company, was
hung on the wall. The outline of a
new route, showing the feasibility of
granting the franchise effective on H
street was outlined, and it was from
this basis that the fight of the protes-
tants was made-and nearly won.
Expert Testimony.
Several G street property holders
testified to the detriment that the
granting of the franchise would work
on them and told of the danger to
life that would be occasioned by
scores of school children being forced
to cross the tracks on their way to the
Barge school. Engineers Noble and
Libby gave expert testimony showing
that the line could be built and ope-
rated on II street with less cost and
but a slight increase in distance over
the proposed G street route. The plan
advanced by Engineers Noble and
Libby was for the franchise to be
granted on H street, the road using
the Cascade spur, or be granted a
right-of-way on the south side of the
street. Engineer Marble of the Dom
aid project and State Senator Gamer
on spoke in favor of the G street
route.

witness. He stated the II street route
practical for all railroad purposes
and that the cost of the Ii street
route would be $4,000 less to the
railroad than the G street right-of-
way. He explained that the property
damage to G street would be heavy
and that EOS residents would be af-
fected, while but a half dozen prop
erty holders would be injured by the
II street route. Witnesses for the
granting of the franchise testified that
the II street project was impractica-
BILE and necessitates heavy curves
which would entail a greater property
loss to individuals than the "a street
route.
Lively Tilt With Donald.
During the course of Mobiles re-
marks he demanded to know why the
Valley road was so anxious to secure
a right-of-way on G street at a great
er cost than on H street, and with
more detriment to the many. Banker
Donald stepped to the front of the
loom, and in an angry voice, almost
shouted Its none of your business"
You are asking the people
through their representatives in the
council for a franchise and the right
to operate a public utility, and they
have a right to know, Mr.. Donald,
retorted Noble. The banker walked
back to his position by the door.
Read Amendments.
The arguments pro and con took
over three hours, and when the time
came for the reading of the amend
ments to the franchise ordinance
Councilman Smith introduced a mo-
ton asking that the granting of the
franchise be laid over until the next
meeting of the city council. The first
vote was lost in a tie. At the con-
clusion of the reading of the amend.
ments Councilman Smith again put
the motion to lay over the matter and
carried on the grounds on further
consideration, all members voting aye
Wight States Position.
Councilman Wight went on record
before the council as opposed to the
franchise and stated he would vote
against the measure. He was the only
councilman who stated his exact posi-
ton. The final talk of Engineer No.
BILE from the standpoint of practical
engineer had visible affect on the
attitude of some of the members. The
council chamber was packed with the
supporters of both sides of the ques-
ton. A protest from 75 property
holders doing business in this cit,
was read.
