PARKER PEOPLE
IN CAR FIGHT
COMPLAIN 10 STATE BOARD
Railroad Commissioner j. @. Law
reno Has Strenuous Day in
North Yakima Monday.

j. c. Lawrence, state railroad COM
missioner, when he came to North
Yakima Monday to make an inspec-
ton of the crossings with county
highways sought by George Donald
for his railroad, ran into more work
than he expected. One aggregation
of county residents complained of the
fact that it is impossible to get cars
at Parker for hay shipments. An
other declared that the new express
office shuts out the view of approach
ing trains from the east at the Yak
ina avenue crossing. Still another
complained that the oil tanks north
of the city shut out the view OF the
crossing at the county road. Down
at the Mckee bridge where he was
delayed for time while a long string
of laden Mckee hay wagons passed
him. Mr.. Lawrence jumped down
and stopping one load, took meas
urements to ascertain its height. Fig
ures, he said, were a god thing when
1t was necessary to construct a road
way under the tracks and he wanted
airy traffic would require. Still later
in the day Mr.. Lawrence had q sec
ond session with the Parker COM
plainants
Crossings Are Inspected.
Inspection OF the prospective eros
sings OF the North Yakima and Valley
railroad took Mr.. Lawrence and the
party which accompanied him
through the Mckee. down through the
gap and as far into the lower valley
as Granger. At night, on his return
he was engaged for q considerable
time with the county commissioners
and engineer and with Mr.. Donald
and his attorney. Later he will make
his recomm endations and these must
be followed.
In the party which, by two automo-
biles, made the trip Monday were
Mr. Lawrence, Mr.. Donald, Engineer
Marble, Engineer Mcintyre, Mr.. En-
glehart, County Commissioners Mo-
Donald and Meloy and w. b. New
comb and the chauffeurs. They ex-
amined a number of crossings and
Mr.. Lawrence pointed out places
where by change in the county road,
which can be affected by the pur-
chase of a short right of way by the
railroad, the county roads can be
kept on one side or another of the
railroad. There are some instances
where overhead or under-track road
ways are possible and these Mr. Law
renee pointed out. He collected an
immense mass of data and took 1t
away with him. His report will be
received her in due course.

YAKIMA WILL
MISS P|NCH0T
Says Conservation Is the Basis of All
the Reclamation Work in
This Valley.

I'VE have 1t all to fight over again"
said Hon. A. J. Splawn as he came
into North Yakima Tuesday from the
Businesses Of the Cowiche, where he
has been for the past two weeks. 81
mean the fight we made against the
wool growers and others. Pincnot was
a fine proposition for us in this Sec
ton but now he is out. That means
that we will soon be where we were
some years ago. 1t isn't so very long
ago since those Of us who live along
the banks of the streams in this part
of Washington began to find our
selves without water. And then we
had to go to it, 1t was long fight
but finally we won out. We had the
source of our. water supply protected;
preserves were made; the use of them
was restricted; nature began to re-
assert herself and the natural reser-
voir was restored. Then our stress
which before had been dry in the
summer time began to carry water
and a vital necessity was restored
to us.
Admires Pinchot's Stand.
"Pinchot's conservation plans, how
ever, did not meet with the approval
of number of people who were not
UP against the necessity of studying
their practical benefit and he was crit
icised. l admire the way he put 1t up
to them. He saw what was due to
happen and he forced the issue, and
that is just what we will have to do
now. I see that Pinchot's successor
is making all sorts of promises to the
sheep men. Well, If we must fight
it out second time l guess we are
ready.
"Ballinger is not a conservationist.
| have nothing to say against him in
the way of criticism and I believe
that he is honest enough and all
that. But as 1 have said conservation
is not his forte. Now conservation is
at the basis Of all the work that Is
being done in this country and in
losing Pinchot we have lost a man
who was doing his best for all of us.
1 certainly do not expect much in the
nature of conservation from Mr.. Bal
finger.
II suppose 1 will. have to retire
from the trusteeship of the Tieton
Water Users association and get into
the fight which I can see Is coming
to protect our interests here"

SAINT O|SPOSES
OF MCKEE CLAIM
Land Office Man Sells Quarter Section
i'm Upper Mckee to Ohio
Investor.

II. Y. Saint, register of the United
States land Office at North Yakima,
has sold his claim, the northeast quar-
ter of section 26-12-21, for $6,400 to
H. S. Blair of Bucyrus, Ohio. through
M. r. Galloway of the Yakima Land
company. This property was the
claim Mr.. Saint proved upon before
he came to the land office here. He
left Spokane and went out and took
the claim as a matter of health spec
ulation and 1t has proven to be a
profitable investment.
1t 10 understood that Mr.. Blair, the
new purchaser, will drill the ground,
installing pumping plants and putting
40 acres to fruit. He is anticipating
that the railway building operations
in the Upper Mckee will mean a rail-
road coming this way from the Co
lumbia river country and he proposes
to be prepared for It.

800 SALOONS DRIVEN
OUT UNDER NEW LAW.
Anti-Saloon League Shows Gains
Made by "Drys" i'm First Six Months
of Local Option.

The Washington Anti-Saloon league,
in a statement made January 5, says
that, 1t has put 800 saloons out of
business during the six months in
which the local option law has been in
effect. Although only one county,
Island, has no saloons. five others,
Whitman, Stevens, Skagit, Thurston
and Clark, have banished liquor ex-
cept in the incorporated cities. These
five are populace counties. Two i'm
portant cities, Puyallup with $500 In
habitants. and Wenatchee, with $500
are under prohibition.
The saloons won the elections held
in Walla Walla. North Yakima, Colfax,
Vancouver and Palouse City. but by
such small majorities that the question
will be brought up again at the gen.
eral election held next November.
In the campaigns the liquor victories
were won partly by promises to re-
form and reduce the number of sa-
looms. Elections will be held In Kent,
February Is, and in Harrington, Lin
coin county. January rs.
Elections will be held in Centralia
and Bellingham in April. Every eff
fort will he made b the league to
carry Centralia Rev. Billy Sunday,
who will hold revival in Bellingham
in April, Is counted on to turn the tide
against the saloons in that city. In
November, according to the league, q
local option ballot will be taken In
every city which the "drys' have any
hope of carrying.
About Local Option.
The editor of the Yakima Republic
Is a "conundrum. He Is wonder
fully deep and must be endowed with
a mind equal to Socrates. He
argues that local option Is good
thing for the smaller towns and rural
districts but that it's not good for the
larger cities like North Yakima. No.
no, Yakima is so dependant on her
booze she cannot afford to be without
it. She can better afford to keep the
and let the rest OF the county help
foot the court expenses. This editor
is certainly rare gem planted in the
heart of a great city to reflect its
light upon her people. But how
strange 1t seems that the things which
are good for the people Of Yakima
county in general are not good for
the citizens of North Yakima. 1t
may be however that that fair city
has taken no thought as to who helps
foot the bill made by rum-ground-out
criminals but that 1t is a necessity
and this editor above referred to hav-
ing been the champion of the grog-
shop becomes a shining light in the
