sion Tuesday night, granted to S. H.

ton hotel building. AS was antici-
pated, the matter evoked a fight In
the council but after the arguments
had subsidized, the final vote showed
only Councilman Null voting against
it. Councilman Pease was absent.
Asked for report of the standing
committees. Chairman Null Of the
police committee to which the ap-
plication was referred some time ago,
stated he was not ready to report. He
declared he was against ALLOW wing q
new saloon to come into existence
both because he thought there were
enough in the city at present and be-
cause the ordnance governing them
limited the number of grog shops to
those now being operated.
Councilman Carver, a member of
the committee. reported favorabiy on
the application after which Council
man Shaw gained the floor and de-
clared the granting OF the permit
was not creating a new saloon but
merely transferring the Lot Durgan

Some excellent purchases of land
have been made by the board of
school directors acting under tho au-
thority given them by the citizens at
the recent election when bonds for
school purposes were voted in the sum
Of $4,000. These purchases We're re-
ported at the session of the directors
last night and are as follows:
Two acres in the Kinney tract,
northwest of the city, for $4,000.
Twelve lots in Richland addition,
alley included, for $1,000.
One and one sixteenth acres at
Fairview for 5000.
These properties were purchased for
new school buildings and in the salec-
ton reference was had to- the needs
Of the district few yenrs hence.
That is allowance was ffsadeseors the
tendencies ic the way of development
so that the school buildings to he
erected will be within thickly settled
districts.
Architect Is Chosen.
Frederick Heath Of Tacoma, archi-
tect of the Masonic temple now I'M
der construction here. was selected
as the architect Of the board and will
prepare plans for the new structures.
It is planned to have at Richland adj
dition an eight room brick building
to cost, equipped. approximately. $40,-
900. This building will be so con-
structed that two additions Of four
rooms each may be made to 1t. thus

At Modern addition there will be .
four room building so constructed that

chased and provision will be made in
the next budget for this purchase.

Director McAulay, who took his
place at the board last night, asked
the situation of the school district
with reference to the bond Of Gibson
& Smith, contractors for the high
school. He was told that the district
had never recovered from the in
demnity company. The matter had
been in the hands of an attorney,
who in waiting for the decision of
the supreme court on the similar case
of the Y. M. c. A. had allowed the
time to lapse in which the district
was entitled to institute action. The
case as taken from the hands Of the
attorney mentioned and is now before
Messrs Englehart e. Rig1 for an oDin-
ion whether the district has the right
to institute suit. The amount involved
and which to date is loss to the
school district, is about $4,000. Sew
eral matters relating to the Columbia
school building were before the board
and steps were taken to alleviate con-
ditions there with regard to heating
screening, water drip, etc.

NORTH YAKIMA TO
MEET SUNNYS|DE
High School Debating Team Will
Fight Out Feasibility of In
come Tax.

The debate which Is to be held at
the high school next Friday evening
between the Sunnyside and the North
Yakima debaters promises to be one
Of unusual interest. Both teams are
known to be composed of real debaters
who do not merely give set speeches
but who can meet their opponents'
arguments from their knowledge Of
the subject with extemporaneous re-
plies.
The question to be discussed-the
desirability of federal income tax.
is one of much Importance because
Of the proposed amendment to the
constitution of the United States
which the states are voting upon at
this time. While the theory of the
income tax is generally accepted by
those who understand 1t, many have
supposed there are great difficulties in
it's application in this country The
North Yakima representative will need
to show that this country can solve
in its own way the problem that
various European countries are solv-
ing for themselves.

First Move Toward Extension
of Transmission Routes.
POLES ARE UNLOADED
NEAR PRIEST RAPIDS
Transformers Are Unoer InstaIla-
ton at the Rapids and Also at
the Coyote Pumping Station
Power Up and Down River.

The Pacific Power & Light COM
pany, which absorbed the Hanford
company last fall. made the first
movement this week toward the cx-
tension Of its power transmission lines
throughout the valley.
The first load of transmission poles
and crossarms was landed on the east
bank, opposite Priest Rapids, Thurs
day, says the Spokesman Of White
Bluffs, by the steamer Mountain Gem
which towed barge loaded to capac-
ity with material for the Pacific COM
pany. These poles will carry a power
line up the east shore to the new
townsite of Mattawa, a short distance
below Beverly. An overhead cable
1000 #. long will support the trans
mission wire over the Columbia at
Priest Rapids.
AS fast as the Gem can operate
other bargeloads of poles and mate
rial will be landed at Coyote Rapids.
White Bluffs, Hanford, and other
points.
All Plans Are Made.
The poles are 60 #. long and will
carry IL #. crossarms. Contracts have
been made with teamsters in the val
ley for the imemdiate delivery of the
material along the routes selected by
the company. Linemen will be put at
work at once, erecting the poles and
stringing the wire. Before the work
ceases the Priest Rapids and the Yak
ina valley lines will be Connected near
Richland.
The main line through the valley
will be tapped at a point west of
White Bluffs and line built into the
town and this part of the valley, fur
nishing light and power.
From Hanford the line will be ex-
tended on down the valley, distrib-
uting power along the way to irri-
gators and others, and finally con-
Meeting with the North Yakima Ken
newick system. The Yakima valley
lines need aid, and the Priest Rapids
plant is to furnish it.
Installing Transformers.
Three 100 kilowatt transformers
are being installed at Priest Rapids
power house and three at the Coyote
pumping station according to the Col
umbia of Hanford. With the addition
of another unit at the power plant
will give the system $4,000 voltage
A power line will be built from Priest
Rapids up the river to Beverly to
furnish power for an irrigation pro-
ject there. Another line will be con-
structed from this plant to the one
at Coyote to carry the extra voltage
to the new transformers where it will
be stepped down" and from there
carried across the river to the Wah-
luke irrigation project. A line will
also follow the river from the Coyote
station and distribute power to num-
erous small irrigation ranches.

be Passed During Present
Session.

WASHINGTON. Jan. 3.-President
Taft has been spending a portion Of
his time since congress adjourned
discussing with the chairman OF
committees and members Of congress.
legislation he is DESTROYS Of having
passed. He expressed the hope today
that some conservation legislation
would be passed. OF this class there
are bills in regard to prospecting for
oil and dealing with the leasing of
coal lands in Alaska.
The president also hopes to see a
subsidy for vessels carrying mails to
points in South America, south OF the
equator. He is of the opinion that
a bill providing in a broad way for
ship subsidy will stand little chance
of being enacted. but thinks enough
members can be found to enact a bill
OF narrower scope.
