FOR FlUME REPAIRS
c. E. Lum Is to Overhaul 5000
Feet of the Waterway of the
Selah & Mckee Ditch

c. E. Lum has obtained the con-
tract for the repair work on the
tlume of the Selah & Mckee canal

paratory to the opening up of the
work, which must be done within the
next month or six weeks He has
5000 feet of fumes to overhaul, the
work commencing at a point oppo-
site the north end of the Fourth

through the Selah Gap. c. O. Adams,
engineer, is to have charge of the
general work on the canal and will
start in this morning looking after
that portion of the flume which runs
east and south from the North
Fourth street bridge.
1t was the intention OF the Selah

flume which would have been an ex-
tensive and costly work, but later 1t
was determined to make repairs. the
idea being that the present fuming,
with proper care, is good for another
three or four years of service at the
end of which time more complete
changes may be possible.

AS a result of many conferences, the

Senator Borah voiced that purpose in
formal notice that on next Thurs

The popular electionists declare

misunderstood ON
DIVISION OF COUNTY

The action of the Yakima Com
mercial club on the matter of county
division so far as its attitude on the
request from the Prosser people is
concerned has been misunderstood.
The Commercial club here did Just
what some Grandview people have
complained of 1t for not doing. When
the Prosser attitude was placed be-
fore the club governors they took the
view that they could not countenance
the separation of portion Of the
present Yakima county which had
stood for county unity. The answer,
therefore, sent to the Prosser people
was that the club here would take no
action looking towards the separation
from Yakima of a portion of its dis
trict.
