EAST SIDE RESIDENTS
SAY SIDEWALK FAULTY
Property Owneis on South 7th
Street Declare City Improve
ment Not Up to Contract

The residents of South Seventh
street, between Spruce and Pine
streets, are not satisfied with the con-
crete sidewalk built on the east side
of the street. claiming that it is faulty
and not on the grade. They will re-
fuse to pay for the work in that one
block. In addition to the faulty work,
they claim that the contrac tor left the
street Uttered with debris, and that
rock and other material was left
against the fences, breaking them
down In some places and disfguring
their fronts
This improvement was put in by a
contractor under city supervision. The
portion between Spruce and Pine
streets was laid one week ago last
Sunday, the residents of the block
say. and the work as done in such
hurry that 1t is now cracking and
falling apart in several places. Right
after the job was completed, said one
of the residents, the members of the
city council street and ditch commit
tee was brought out and passed on
the work before it had had time to
set 1t is stated that they had not
had time to see whether the work was
up to contract specifications or not.
In addition to poor workmanship. it
is claimed by the property owners in
the block that the grade was not
followed and that in other places the
walk is higher than grade. The
wooden walk on the west side of the
street has always been supposed to
be on grade, and the new cement walk
is several inches higher. An attorney
will be present at the next meeting
of the city council to represent the
property owners and protest against
the acceptance of the work, which
they say will never be paid for by
them under any conditions.

NUMEROUS CANDIDATES

Rumors and Statements of Friends
of Candidates Indicate That a
Number Will Be in Line to Run
for Office When Time Comes

Mayor Fl. II. Schott has declined
under the commission form of gov
eminent, as he declares he will not
have the time to give to the work
Furthermore he says he will not take
any part in the campaign, and will
not endorse any candidates for any
office, preferring to keep out of the

front
Nearly a score OF names have been
mentioned for the two commissions

that the names of many Of these
candidates have only been mention
ed, for it is a sure thing that the
men themselves are not candidates

that their names have been brought
up for consideration.
1t is believed that Ed Lyon. pres

Roy King, clerk OF the superior

able person to be nominated and
elected as comm issioner of the de-

That Mr. King Is capable there is no

make a run for the position is an
other matter of a very different COM

Charles r. Donovan, assistant
cashier of the First National bank,

LONDON, July 24.--The last act OF
parliamentary revision was ushered
in today amid revolutionary scenes
For the first time in it's history, the
House of Commons refused to listen
to speech of the prime minister
For the first time in its history the
speaker was compelled to invoke the
rule which empowers him Sin cases OF
disorder" to declare the sitting ad-
journed on his own responsibility.
No such hostile passions as have been
given free rein in the chamber which
traditionally carries on debates with
chivalrous courtesy have been seen
since the stormy days of the Glad
stone home rule bills. Probably
there has been no such passage in
the American congress since the re-
construction era During three

Such Is Prediction of Frank S.
Melvin, Eastern Sales Agent
of Rchey & Gilbert
H. M. GILBERT ESTIMATES
EVEN MORE. THAN THAT
A Careful Inspection of the Crow
ing Crop Gives a Black Eye to
the Dire Reports of Pessimists
Made in Early Spring

AS the fruit is rapidly ripening and
shipments of different kinds are COM
mencing to be made, speculation is
again rife as to the amount the Yak
ina country will ship out this sea-
son, and its value in money to the
growers. Frank S. Melvin, of Top
penish, who for the past FIVE years
has had charge of the eastern offices
OF the Richey & Gilbert company,
making his headquarters at Minneap-
oils and Chicago. had a cheerful
smile on his face Monday when dis
cussing the fruit situation. Mr.. Mel
vim has recently completed an in
spection of the orchards of the Yak
ina country, and has the best pos
sible sources of information at hand
upon which to ase his belief
Fifteen Hundred Cars
After a careful study Of the situa-
ton In it's various aspects Mr.. Mel
vim estimates that there will be 1900
cars of fruit shipped out OF this re-
gion by the close of the apple season
next fall. He states that II. M. GIL
bert. at the head of the company,
coliiIldLSS lhC output dL tNcH IL
higher figure, giving 1000 cars as
his estimate. These figures. coming
from those in such an advantageous
position to get information direct
from the orchardists. and who are,
consequently, in the closest possible
touch with the situation, are suffi-
cient to cause a more optimistic feel
ing to prevail.
AS the dire prediction of failure
of the fruit crop on account of the
frosts of the late spring were pure
ly speculative, so it may be said that
there is some speculation in regard
to the fruit now. but with this very
important difference, the fruit is now
in sight, ripening on the trees, where
as in the spring there was very little
to be seen upon which to make an
estimate of loss.
Mr.. Melvin states that Minneapo-
lis is the gateway for the Distribution
of fruit by his company, but that
Chicago has many points in its ia
vor. He will return to the east be-
tween August IS and September /,
several weeks earlier than usual. He
will be enabled to do this on ac-
count of the short peach crop.

SHERIFF DAY RETURNING HOME,
That Officer on Way Back to Yakima
With Prisoner

A telegram from Salinas. California
dated July "a, from Sheriff J. W. Day
stated that he had left there Monday
for North Yakima with c. e. Bunting
who is wanted here for jumping his
bond. This is quick work for the
sheriff, who left here only few days
ago and barely had time to reach his
destination.
One of the boys in the sheriff
office ventured the opinion that 1t was
so hot in California that the sheriff
was coming back to North Yakima to
cooler cline. However that may
be he will be here with his prisoner
in a few days.
