COUNTY PLANS
ON POORH0USE
Designs of Architect Perrin for
Structure Are Accepted by
the Commissioners.
BIDS ARE TO BE OPENED
FIRST WEEK IN APRIL
Aged and Infirm Are at the Pres
ent Time Boarded at Hospi-
tai but Will Be Housed on
Farm in the Ahtanum.

Bids for the construction of a
poorhouse for Yakima, county on it's
40-acre ranch in the Ahtenum will
be opened April 8. 1t is altogether
probable that an award will be made
at that time and that before long
Yakima county will have poor
house and poorfarm in operation.
County Commissioners on Tuesday
accepted the plans of Architect Per-
rim for a poorhouse building. The
estimates place the cost of construc-
ton of the building, which will be a
frame structure, at about $1,000. In
addition there will be necessary other
expenditures, as water must be pro-
vided and other equipment procured.
Yakima county, it is expected, will
save money by operating it's own poor
farm. At the present time cOnsid-
cradle sum is expended in taking
care of the homeless and the county
is paying a large annual sum to in
sure shelter and food for homeless
old men. At present these people
are cared for at hospital but they
are really not invalids, being healthy
enough but suffering from infirmities.
1t will be an interesting fact to many
readers that the county has not an
old woman on its pension list. The
old women are either better cared
for, more independent, die or haven't
had an existence.

Robbers entered the home of Mr..

jewelry that will amount to not less
than $500. The thieves effected an en-

dwelling and left by the same en-
trance. Having plenty of time they
took nothing but solid stuff leaving
jewelry Of less value scattered over
the floor.
The burglars carried the stolen
property away with them in a knight

had on one end the initials, L. B. L..

An effort Is to be made to procure
an additional 90 feet from the tract
to the south so that a SO foot road

and the whole made as fine drive

with the driveway from the Johnson

Other places for the celebration have
been suggested but at present the
idea is that II wholesale picnic can
be held in the Tieton so that the
commemoration will be within sight
and sound of the water which is to
irrigatc the lands under the system
There should be no misunderstand-
ing regarding the date June s. That
date is selected because it is at Il
time of year when such picnic rs
proposed may be held with comfort
and not because that is the time on
which the water will be turned on.
The water of the Tieton canal will be
at work long before that date.

Readiness-Some New Feat

and Saturday report that everything
is moving satisfactorily and they
promise North Yakima the best thing
of it's kind that has ever been seen
here. Everyone who is to take part
in the affair is ready to help at any
time and this feeling of loyalty will
be the chief cause of it's success.
The public has had it's appetite
whetted for a sight of the freaks and
many are the conjectures as to who
will be chosen for some of the more
difficult parts. There are a number
of these freaks who will find their lot
a hard one.
Carpenters Commence Work.
The building is being rapidly placed
in order for the show. This morn
ing the carpenters will be placed at
work under the direction of Robert
Wise. They will first build the booths
so that they can be furnished at once.

nishing houses in the city have acted
in a most liberal manner in the con-
tribution of rugs, carpets and other
furnishings.
A shoot the chutes is being erected
which will be one of the chief de-
lights of the younger crowd. The
chute will be built from the ceiling
to the floor of the gymnasium. II
will be built of smooth flooring curved
in such a manner that there will be
no danger of the shooter taking a
spill. Rugs will be furnished to take
the place of the usual boat.
New Features Added.
Among some of the latest features
that have been decided upon is the
human oyster, who will give very
realistic description of making g
noise like an oyster. Then there Is
the art gallery which will give living
illustrations of some of the most
famous figures in old and new history
moving picture show will also be
found in working order and furnish

class vaudeville theater according to
a statement made by Oscar Wood of
the Lyric theater Mr.. Wood said
that there was plenty of money to

Communities of the Lower End
of Yakima Expect to Be Seat
of New County Government.
EACH PRESENTS CLAIM
OF UNDOUBTED MERIT
Politicians in the Meantime Are
Working Hard Towards EIec-
ton of a State Senator From
Lower End Of Valley.

Various Yakima county towns in
the country below Union Gap have
begun to assume that they will be
the seat OF the new county which
lower valley people are convinced
will be formed when Yakima is again
Interested, will be at no very distant
date. Granger, because of its boosted
superiority in railroad facilities and
because, also, it Is near to the center
of the country which seeks to secede,
thinks there is no question but that
the new courthouse will be at its end
of Snipe's mountain. But Sunnyside
considers that it has grown honorable
in various ways. that it is now the
center of the lower Yakima county
for various government undertakings
and is therefore the natural site when
the selection of a county seat is UNI
der consideration.
Many Towns Have Claims.
Toppenish has way of impressing
itself upon all when it is suggested
that there are things to be done and
places to be honored and has an alert
citizenship We'll able to take care of
its interests. Wapato mildly asserts
that if merit alone is considered in
the selection the taxes of the new
county will be paid at that town for
all time to come. Mabton and Grand
view are near enough to Benton
county to want another division and
to be so anxious for it that they will
willingly forego any honors attaching,
but little Zillah is an aspirant
Zillah has two lines of railroad
and is to have two station buildings
1t has banks and such institutions
and now has commercial club
Zillah says that the future is cinch
for it, declaring that there are too
many big towns in the lower end of
Yakima county all seeking the new
county seat for anyone of them to
get it. They will have to unite on
some comparatively quiet and less
important place and "just at present
we're it. And afterwards we will
fool them, for we will be the biggest
town except North Yakima between
Elensburg and Kennewick"
While all this is going on the real
politicians are working for a lower
valley man for state senator as the
first important step towards the end
they are seeking.

Kunze said he painted the original
and it received favorable mention in
the Paris salon. Meyer did not take
fancy to the artist and gave him no
work. Meyer said he thinks Kunze
is a German Am erican and from New
