TOWNSHIP ORGANIZATION
LOST BY 419 VOTES
Official Canvass shows Proposcd
Plan to Have Not Carried i'm
in Yakima County.

Notwithstanding reports to the
contrary township organization in
Yakima county did not carry in the
recent election, according to an an
nouncement of the county commits
sioners, issued Tuesday The official
canvass on the question follows: to-
tai votes cast 5799; for township or
ganization, 24S1; against, 27S.
This count indicates that a large
number of the voters did not express
a choice and according to a recent
decision of the state supreme court,
such votes count against the propo-
sition in-as-much as it requires a ma
jority of all votes cast in order to
pass. This the commissioners found,
was lost by 419 votes.

t Ixtend Its Service Into the
Wenas Valley.
VAL OF RAW LAND
s GREATLY ENHANCED
Pipe of City Water Supply Is
Also to be Carried to a Point
Above All Possible Risk Of
Contamination.

Extension work is to be undcrta-
ken at once by the Pacific Power &
Light company of its power lines
which will carry electricity through
the Selah and Wcnas valleys and
thus assist ranchers there who de-
sire to use electricity for irrigation
purposes This work is in the inn
mediate future At later date the
power lines will be carried through
the Ahtanum, CoWiche and other
valleys. The Mckee will be probably
within the direct influence of the
power line which will carry the cur
rent of the Columbia River plant in
to this valley. Within a couple OF
years, probably many months less
the Spokane, Walla Walla, Columbia
river and Yakima fines will all be
connected up at Pasco so that the
current will be interchangeable and
Spokane electricity will be used here
and vice versa.
Big Increase of Values.
Speaking of the conditions George
G. Arrowsmith, general manager
here for the Pacific Power Il Light
company, made the remark on Tues
day that the contracts for electricity
already signed up have increased by
$7,000.000 the value of the raw lands
i'm Yakima, Benton and Franklin
counties Now contracts are being
signed up daily and there is every
indication that electricity is to come
into general use throughout this sec
ton of eastern Washington.
In the way of immediate local Inn
proVement the company has COM
menced an expenditure of $4,000 tn
extend the pipe line for water from
the intake of the present line, which
is some 10 miles up the Naches river
to point two miles nearer to the
reservoir at the end of the power
canal This work will put an addi-
tional $50 feet to the present system
and will enable the company to bring
the water directly through is big
power canal which carries some 44O
cubic feet of water per second of
time from the junction of the Naches
and Tieton rivers, to the head of the
pipe Inc. ms canal runs dooNe Tue
level of irrigation in the Upper Ma
ches and also above Naches City
which will thus ensure the water be
ing free from any suspicion Of waste

crease the pressure to amply supply

There has been no complaint Mr.,
Arrowsmith says, within the past
year as to the quality of the water
but the pressure has been light and

ment undertaken to Keep pace with

PASSENGERS ARE
STRANDED ON ISLAND
Storm Which Broke After Beach
ing of Steam Portland Cuts
Off Food Supply.

CORDONN. Alaska, Nov ID
Highty-three persons comprising the
passengers and crew OF the wrecked
steamship Portland which was
hcached in the mouth of the l<atalla
river Saturday, are stranded on Kat
ALA island The storm which broke
soon after the passengers landed from
the wrecked vessel is raging with In
creased fury and all efforts to go to
the aid of the marooned passengers
proved unsuccessful
There are few people living in the
island and the food supply is small
IT is feared if the passengers and
crew from the Portland are not taken
off soon, they viii be forced to I'M
dergo great hardships owing to tho
failure Of their food supply. The
steamer Alameda tried for twelve
hours to enter the harhor but finally
was compelled to give up the attempt
and turn back.
The government has been appealed
to for aid requests having been
made For a revenue cutter.
