SAY SALOONS
ARE TOO MANY
On Front Street Between A
Street and Yakima Avenue and
Want Them Eliminated.
CITIZENS TO REQUEST
COUNCIL TO TAKE ACTION
Business and Working Men
Think That Existing Condi-
tons Are Poor Advertisement
for North Yakima.

There are too many saloons on
Front street, opposite the right of
way of the Northern Pacific railroad
and particularly on that part of it
opposite to the new railroad station;
that is, between A street and Yakima
avenue. This is the opinion of a large
number of business men who propos .
to ask a remedy. They propose to
ask the city council to refuse, when
present licenses expire, to renew them
thus allowing the saloons to go out
of business, so far as that street is
concerned. 1t is the point of view of
those who are acting in the matter
hat the conditions on the street at
p 'esent are a disgrace to the city and
particularly poor advertisement to
people who are passing through here
on trains who carry away such an i'm
preston as they can gather from a
few minutes on the station platform
In order to carry the matter up to
the ruling authority, the city council
with as much fogce as possible a
memorial is to be prepared such as
cannot be refused by any body of men
protesting to represent public senti-
ment, 1t will bear the endorsement
of various organizations in the city
cpreSenting business and working
men. 1t is not to be made in any
sense the petition of an antl-saloon
element but of sterling business AMI
working men, property owners and
makers. The question was considered
at the meeting Monday of the officials
Of the Commercial club and will be
presented for action at the next meet
ing of the Business Mems association
and to other bodies of similar kind
When finally put to the city council
it is expected to be so strong in its
terms and backing that it will be a
success.
There may be some discussion as to
the question of elimination of the
saloons from that part of the town OF
their reduction in number. The SEN
timent favors elimination entirely ST
far as the block between A street and
Yakima avenue is concerned

ANOTHER mfg. PLANT
ADDED TO THE LIST
Expects to Be in Operation
Within Sixty Days-WiIl
Employ Forty Men.

c. A. Warnstrom, formerly estima-
tor of the Cascade Lumber com pany.
has resigned his position with that
company to form the Yakima Sash
and Door company The latter COM
pany is in process of organization at
the present time and the promoters
hope to have the plant in operation in
the next GO days.
Articles of Incorporation are now
being filed and call for a capitalization
of $4,000. The site for the factory
has not yet been selected but 1t is I'M
derstood that it will be along the line
of the Northern Pacific tracks.
According to a statement of Mr.
Warnstrom, the company will be made
up of local capital, the names of the
stockholders being withheld at this
time.
sash, doors and mouldings, interior
finish and mill work, bank, store and
office fixtures. Plate and art glass will
also be carried in stock.
The company will employ between
80 and 40 men at the start, which
force will be augmented as business
increases A building 6Ox120 feet two
stories high, will house the plant
Plans for this structure have already
been drawn by Mr. Warnstrom. All
machinery will be of the most i'm
proved pattern, each machine being
operated by an Independent motor.
The promoters of the company have
launched this new enterprise in our
midst believing that the field for
plant of this kind warrants such an
establishment. The rapid growth of
the city with the undoubted move
ment among property owners to con-
struct buildings the coming summer as
well as the growth of the Yakima
valley warrants the construction of
such plant. The demand will I'M
doubleday be large, although the COM
pany intends to make this a dstribut-
ing point for the Yakima valley only.
Mr.. Warnstrom, through whose eff
forts this company has been formed
has been with the Cascade Lumber
company for the past three and one
half years, during which time he has
made an enviab]e record, and his pres
ent employers regret his decision to
leave them. He is we'll and favorably
known in the city and there is no
doubt but that he will be successful in
his new venture.

It's moral support has been ac-

club officials at their monthly meetin,,
Monday and received hearty endorse

leaves many undertakings without n

If good county road is constructed
for Yakima county citizens through
Union Gap it will be constructed by
the North Coast railroad. The North
ern Pacific railroad will take no hand
in the game. Officials of the North
EN- Pacific cannot see any reason
why they should That company IL
willing to grant a right of way to the
North Coast to the east of for a
county road but conceives that hav-
ing done that much it has done all
that can be expected. Existing con-
ditions are satisfactory. presumably
for the Northern Pacific and tho
county and it is the coming of the
a change in the conditions. Just why
the Northern Pacific would bear, as
has been requested to bear, half the
expense of the county highway, rem
dered necessary by the coming of the
Strahorn line, is a matter that its
officials are unable to understand
1t was expected that there would
be a meeting last night of officials OF
the Northern Pacific railroad, of the
North Coast and of the county COM
missioners. Ira. B. Englehart said
there was no meeting as there was no
need for such so far as the Northern
Pacific railroad was concerned. That
company, he stated, was prepared to
grant a right of way but to go no
further.
The question of a road therefore is
between Yakima county and the
North Coast and so far as the count,
Is concerned is up to the North Coast
if it takes up the present county
highway.

MAY
PAY TAXES HERE
County Assessor Says Court
Rulings Have Decided the
Question.
SHOULD PAY THEIR
ASSESSMENTS IN COUNTY
Question Which Recurs Annually
Has Worked Unnecessary
Hardships in Lower Sections of
the Valley.

County Assessor, J. w. SindaIl, in
statement to the Herald yesterday
related the difficulties the sheepmen
aid cattlemen of this county have had
for several years past with the asses-
sors of Benton county. Sheepmen who
1--we near the dividing line between
Yakima and Benton county have suf-
fered much convenience by lie 1act
that where their flocks have strayed
into the adjoining county, deputy
s!teriffs would pounce upon them and
take them in charge, causing The own
crs to suffer a double asses Jment.
Court Decides Matter.
In his efforts to assure the sheep
men that they with perfect good faith
may turn in their assessments to the
treasurer of Yakima county Mr.. Sin
dali said: 1.-The courts of Benton
county as we'll as this county have
maintained that property was assess
able at the domicile of the owner
For several years past sheepmen of
this county have been annoyed by
sheriffs of Benton county assessing
their sheep as soon as they were
found to have strayed over the county
line dividing the two counties. | took
the matter up with the courts and OBJ
tanned decisions on two different
occasions which make clear the only
course for the sheepmen to pursue.
Assessors Make Agreement.
"At one time | had an arrangement
with the assessor of Benton count
that any sheep from this county
which had been assessed by mistake
in his county should be turned over
to me with the understanding tina.
tho rule would apply both ways, that
is, if any sheep, cattle or horses right
fully belonging to Benton county were
assessed on this side | would in turn
deliver them over to Benton county. /
followed out this agreement in the
year of 1907, but failed to see any
thing turned into us from the lower
county. The arrangement was
obviously too one-sided for me to adj
here to.
Pay Money Into Court.
Last year the sheepmen, whose
confidence l have always had, asked
me what they should do to avoid be-
ing assessed twice. / told them the
best thing they could do under the
circumstances would be to pay the
money into the court here and wait a
decision from it. The attention of the
court has never been called to the
latter and the money, some $1,000, is
still in the charge of the clerk of the
court, no demand having been made
by the treasurer up to this time,
though l understand this will be done
very shortly

of Yakima county that they can with
perfect confidence pay their assess
ments in this county the coming year,
