BY. Leased Wire to The Tribune.
NEW YORK, July 16.-From the
present indication the National League
race this season is going to be close
one. The season is about half finished
now and the first half of it showed
some marvellous battles. There have
been several no-hit games pitched Half
dozen one-hit games have been played
and number Of triple plays have been
pulled off. In addition to the above
performances, the Philadelphia National
League team has worked the triple
steal. feat that is seldom worked sue
cessfully. In fact, the triple steal has
been pulled off only four times in the
history of major league baseball. Burk-
EFT, Padden and Sugden worked 1T
against the Athletics in st. Louis back
in 1905. Burkett was the one to start
the play lie was on first, with Sug-
den holding down second. and Padden
resting on third. Burkett started for
started for home, and before the Ath-
letics awoke to the play, Padden had
crossed the plate, Burkett was on
second, and Sugden was resting safely
on third. The Athletics, against whom
the play was worked in 1905, were the
next to pull off the triple steal, but they
did not do it until 1908. The following
season saw another triple steal worked
successfully, and by queer coincidence
the Athletics again figured in the, play.
but this time they were on the losing
end Lord, Speaker and Gessler. then
of Boston but now of the Senators,
were the lads to work the trick, April
26, 1909. The Philadelphia National
League club did not like the idea of
the Philadelphia American League club
having the honor of figuring IN every
triple steal worked, so they pulled off
that play against the Cincinnatis, at
Cincinnati, May 10, this year.

That 1t cost $125,310.15 to operate
the city government and city affairs
during 1909 was one Of the features
of the council meeting Monday night
when City Clerk BROKER made his
annual report. This amount. how
ever includes the vast sum expended
in building subsewers and in new
sidewalks. also in sprinkling the city's
streets. The report shows that the
sanitary department cost the city
$1,000 in 1909 as against $1,000 in
1908, but on the other hand, prop
erty owners in goodly number have
been contributing so cents per month
to the garbage collector and COM
plants are numerous that the serv-
ice in the residence section of the city
is abominable.
The report shows that. $2,351.e0
was collected from police arrests and
that the city treasury was enriched to
the extent of $4,000 from saloon H.

HORSE RACING
TO Be CUT OUT
From the Program of the Next
State Fair, According to
President Kloeber.
PROMISES FRUIT GROWERS
SHOW OF EXPLOITATION
Says That Institution VIII no
Longer Be Merely a Yakima
County Undertaking but viii
Widen Scope.

There is to be no horse racing 1t
the state fair this fall IL promises
which are being made by DR.. ]. g..
kloeber, president of the fair, are
correct. DR.. Kloeber is reported at
Wenatchee in addressing the State
Horticultural association as having
said. 'In the future we expect to
cut out the bar, the race track and
the gambling interests and to make II
primarily an institution Of exploita-
tion."
This is move somewhat in reverse
of that taken by all the leading state
fairs of the country so far as the
horse interests are concerned and one
that is against the experience of the
east. However there are a great many
forms of amusement by which crowds
may be entertained and no doubt one
or more of these will be substituted.
Regarding the fair which has hith-
erto been held at North Yakima DR..
Kloeber is quoted as having spoken
as follows:
"In times past the Washington
State fair has had the reputation of
being in the nature of Yakima
county fair. This reputation has
some foundation in fact. 1t is the in
tention of the present commissioners
of the state fair board to make the
state fair of the future one to exploit
the resources of the great northwest
and it is their intention to make il
a really representative exposition. In
the future we expect to cut out the
bar, the race track and the gambling
interests and to make it primarily ar
institution of exploitation"

Council Repeats Ordinance Call
ing for Special Election for
Water Bond Issue.
STARTLING CONDITION IN
THE CITY'S FINANCES
Voting of Water Bonds Would
Have Put City Within Few
Thousand of Legal Indebted
ness-No Sinking Fund.

The city's ship of state is on a new
tack and the first indication that the
old vessel had hauled in her main
sail and shifted her course was the
new councils repeal, Monday night,
of the ordinance calling for a special
election January 81 to vote on bond
ing for the purchase of the Northwest
Light & Water company's water plant
for $4,000. This means that nego-
tiations have proceeded as far along
the lines originally mapped out as
they will ever get. The special cleo
ton is called off; North Yakima will
not vote to bond as planned and will
not purchase the water plant as de-
creed by the previous council.
Why and Wherefore.
Naturally the outsider is interested
in the why and the wherefore of the
proceeding which Is an absolute revo-
cation of Mayor Armbruster's pet
scheme of municipal ownership
Whether negotiations will be carried
further depends upon the ability of

the west side drain, the subway and
all other improvements that exceed
the city's expense budget, may be

the extent of $4,000. incidentally 1t
may be mentioned that there Is no
sinking fund ready to pay off those
100000 of sewer bonds that come due
next January.
Special Water Bond Allowed.
But you will ask. IL this be true,
how was the city to bond itself to
buy the water works at all. The an
swer to that Is that the law allows
an additional five per cent bonded in
debtedness for water, light and sew
ers. The sewers heretofore have all
been paid for out of the general fund.
The price determined on for the pur
chase of the water works was $780,
900. The additional five per cent al
lowed for an expenditure for light
and water Is the same as quoted
above, $4,000. II this amount were
expended for the water works at this
very few thousand dollars Of its max
imum limit and the city would be
tottering on the brink of bankruptcy.
City Spends $4,000 Per Month.
The city clerks books show that
during the past year the city has
been expanding about $4,000 per
month. Should this be continued
during the coming year with the re-
mainder of the possible bonded in

system. 1t would only be four or five
months until current expense war;
rants could not be issued to meet the
city's monthly expenses. And so the
new council decided to declare the
deal Tor the water works Off and the
vote was unanimous. Apparently the
discovery of this situation in the city's
exchequer by the new councilmen
has put quietus upon the dream OF

SUNNYSIDE POSTOFFICE

North Yakima Says 1t Is Grow

Postmaster George vetter of Sum
nyside, is North Yakima visitor and
will remain over today to participate

that the Sunnyside postoffice Is ma
king splendid growth and he has no
doubt whatever that by July it will
enter the second class. 1t is not very
long ago since Sunnyside entered the
third class and the development of
the lower valley indicates that it will
continue to go upward for consid-
cradle time to come. In contrast
with the development in this part of
the United States is the condition in
the east where postoffices are drop

INDIAN MONEY!
ONCE A FAMOUS STEED
Whites Who Backed q Certain
Sorrel at Fair Grounds Six
Years Ago VIII Remember the
Old Buckskin.

Judgment was entered Thursday
by Judge Preble in the case of Tim
mius George VS.. the Northern Pacific
railroad for $3.50. for the value OF
one buckskin horse killed near Top
penish by one of the railroad COM
pany's passenger trains. Upon the
face OF the record this case would not
attract more than passing notice. but
there is that about it which lends a
romantic interest to 1t. The horse
which the cold vernacular of the law
describes as lone buckskin horse
was no other than the famous In
Bird"
Upon many an Indian race track
Gold Bird" received the victorious
plaudits of his hackers and admirers.
His most famous victory was at the
state fair grounds in North Yakima
in the fall Of 1908 when he defeated
all of the crack Indian race horses
of the Umatilla and Yakima reserva-
lions In . six mile daSh Many
whites viewed this race but generally
backed certain sorrel which turned
out to be an "also ram In fact it
is said that H. j. Snively, the attorney
for Timmius George in this case
against the railroad company to re-
cover the value of Gold Bird" in
that race placed his money on the
aforesaid sorrel.
All Compromise Is Spurned.
Besid S all this Timmius George.
whose name sounds masculine, IS
really an Indian lady and for many
years was the belle of the Yakima
reservation. She has allotments in
her own right which make her very
wealthy. The railroad company tried
to settle the case frequently by pay
ing the price of an Ordinary cayuse'
but Miss George haughtily spurned
all such offers as probably reflection
on her cherished favorite and in
structed her attorney that It was $3.50
or nothing.
Judge Rigg, who was railroad at
torney in the case, Thought $25 was
the value of the horse and at the out
side $75. The evidence showed that
in his last race Gold Bird spurted
in manner that would not bring
the blush of shame to the cheeks OF
his owner ana had 1t not been for
bridge that stopped his onward dash
the question is one Of great doubt as
to whether the express would have
overtaken him. Miss George is now
the wife Of William Charley, a prom
inent Indian on the reservation.
