there appeared those who were pre-

that none was friendless. Among
the county offices the prettiest fight
was that for the office of sheriff,
though the office of prosecutor and
that of coroner centered the interest
of many.
The polls had not closed before the
enthusiasts began to gather at the
newspaper offices, the police station,

Yakima county was right In line
Tuesday with the so-called "insur-
gent wave which swept over the
state of Washington. The vote at the
prim aries, though not as large az had
been anticipated, was an out-and-out
expression of the apprival of the
stand taken by Miles Poindexter In
congress and his attitude assumed
since in the senatorial fight. Early
in the day when the unusually small
demand for democratic votes became
noticeable it was abundantly appar-
ent To the politically wise what was
in the air. Later. when the actual
figures began to be announced. the
judgment of those who said he would
get more than so per cent of the vote
polled was indicated. Splitting the
opposition or uniting it was all the
same; Poindexter was so strong that
there was no denying him.
Speaking generally the day was a
quiet one in North Yakima. The vote
polled was not large and business
went on as usual with a great many
of those engaged. both in the city
and the nearby districts declining to
take the trouble to go to the polls.
Such political fight as was made
was between the candidates for the
offices below national calibre.
Among these and their friends there
was considerable enthusiasm and. as
the figures show. considerable keen
competition.

FEAR BIG STEAL
OF GOLD BULLION
Detectives Think 1t Was Taken
From Alaska Steamer and
Buried.

SEATTLE, Sept. 13.-It is settled
in minds of detectives that the $57,-
900 robbery of gold bullion in tran
sit from Fairbanks to Seattle was
committed on the Yukon river steam
or Tanana and the men who are sup
posed to have stolen it are under sur
veillance. Detectives believe the gold
is buried, so that to arrest the men
would not restore the gold to the own
ers.
They propose to watch the men UNI
til they dig up the gold and try to
sell It, Any man who tries to sell
Tanana gold, which has a color all
It's own, will be held for examination.
Reports of a second express robbery
are false.

Given Opportunity to Build In

Let the North Coast railroad have
an extension OF its franchise and
wish it Godspeed in its efforts to con-
struct a railroad through the Yakima
valley and into North Yakima"
Such is the sentiment Of the cIti-
zenship of North Yakima as express-
ed at public meeting at the Com
mercial club last evening, at which
there were present some half a hun
dred business and professional men,
property owners, wage earners and
others. Sentiment was clearly In ia
vor of the efforts of the railroad to
construct line into this valley and
was equally strong that the Yakima
country is as much in need OF tho
North Coast as that railroad is OF tho
valley. This was manifest when ref
erenco was made to the recent peach
hasco.
Direct connections will be given by
the North Coast railroad with the
Canadian Pacific railroad. the Mil
waukcc and the Union Pacific, ac-
cordng to Henry j. Snvelv. who
also added that there is strong prob
ability of connection with fourth
transcontincntal railroad, the North
western, before very long. Mr.. Sniv-
ely referred to the fact that the coun-
try through which the Canadian Pa
cific operates does not produce and
never will produce peaches. To
some extent the same IS true of the
Milwaukee country.
Has Fought Obstacles.
Mr.. Snivcly of the history of the
North Coast railroad and he did not
hesitate to say that every possible OBJ
stacle had been placed in its way by
the Northern Pacific. Representa-
tivcs OF that railroad, he said, had
even gone into eastern money mar
lets and thrcatend bankruptcy to
the North Coast undertaking by de-
claring that every foot OF North
Coast track would be paralleled by
the Northern Pacific railroad. Be-
cause of these threats by Hill inter-
csts It had been necessary for those
financing the North Coast to keep
their identity secret What would
be the situation Of Yakima, Mr.. Sniv-
ely asked. if this morning those who
have been financing the North Coast
threw up their hands and allowed the
whole undertaking 90 date to pass
into the hands of the Northern Pa
cific railroad? 1t would depreciate
values here so per cent, he answered.
and forever put the kibosh on the POI
sihnity of anothr railroad. Because
OF existing conditions it is doubtful il
railroads viii be conducted in the flu
tura as in the past.

Need a Deputy Prosecutor

The east side of the county needs
deputy prosecutor to be located here, or
Prosecuting Attorney Kirkpatrick ought
to give little more attention to GRIM
inal matters arising on this side of the
county. Many offenses against the
peace and dignity of the state of Wash
ington 60 unpunished because of the
disinclination of the prosecusing attor-
ney to take them up on account of the
expense involved, condition of affairs
which is not conducive to cIeation of re-
spect for law.
Several times attempts have been
made to get the pisgecuting attorney to
take up matters on this side of the coun-
ty, but without success, either through
fear of creating expense for the county,
or lack of time to attend to them. The
east side is paying its share of taxes and
is entitled to as careful attention with
regard to law enforcement as any other
section. To save expense or time of the
county prosecutor the appointment of
| local deputy would help the situation.

River Raising Rapidly

The Pend Oreille river is raising
rapidly and has reached an unpre-
cedented stage for this time of the year.
The guage at the docks of the Pend
Oreille River Navigation Co. show a
stage 5.3 tenths feet above low water
mark, record which old timers here
say has never before been reached to
their knowledge.
On March 1st the water stood at one
tenth below low water mark, on March
% it stood at 5.3 feet above. On March
q, 1909 the mark was two tenths below
The unusually high stage of water for
this time of the year is attributed to the
early spring. 1t is generally predicted
that the water will not reach en- unusu-
ally high stage in June this year as it ia
coming out of the mountains earlier
than usual.
