On Liquor Question - Mrs.
Carrie Barr of w. G. T. u.
Just Back From Olympia
SHE BELIEVES BILL
WILL PASS SENATE
Will Ask Council What Action It
Is Going to Take on Request
for Police Matron Made Some
Time Ago

Mrs, Carrie Barr, president of the
Francis Willard w. C. n. u; and
superintendent of legislation for tho
East Washington organization, has
just returned from Olympia convinced
that the Yakima representatives are
"all wrong" so far as the liquor ques-
ton goes. She talked to Senator AL
len. Twice she sent her card in to
Representative Moren but both times
found him out of his seat She tried
to see DR.. Chamberlain, but some one
told her he was all right. She found
out later that he, too, was "all
wrong"
Safe in Senate
She is convinced that the county
unit law in it's present form will pass
the senate. The fight will be in the
house, and she isn't sure of the out
come, but is hopeful. The bill as
presented excludes cities of the first
class. This isn't an ideal bill, but
tho prohibitionists feel the policy
of taking what they can get, hoping
for the rest next time, said Mrs. Barr.
senator Allen said that he would vote
for the bill, if they would include the
us Nitl'S III IL FNS II was, ii' Nouidh u
He had number of objections.
Has Another Chance
Mrs. Barr, in her report of her
visit to Olympia in the interests Of
the local option measure. before the
Frances Willard w. G. n u. at the
home of Mrs. O. l.. French on South
Mob Hill yesterday said that Senator
Allen was much exercised over the
feeling aroused by his Introduction
of the bill permitting the sale of lid
uor to Indians. She thought that if
perhaps he were made to see a chance
for a return to the good opinion of
some of his constituents, by support
ing the county unit bill, he might
change his mind. At any rate, mem
bers Of the union decided to write
him letters to this effect.
Cigarettes i'm Capitol
In the building where the laws are
made at Olympia, Mrs. Barr saw a
state senator smoking a cigarette. This
she thought was a disgrace, in a
state which had an anti-cigarette law.
This remark provoked a general talk
on the anti-cigarette law in which
several mothers asked what they could
do to insure it's enforcement. Boys
smoked cigarettes they said, on the
school grounds even. here In the city.
Where did they get them If 1t were
unlawful to sell them? Some one
suggested that they cause an arrest.

sufficient for all time to come have
been planned by the force of the city
engineer and at the next meeting
of the city council a definite PROPOSE
ton will be put up to that body. The
follows upon petitions presented at
the council meeting Monday night
and asking for street and sidewalk
improvements in portions of Modern
addition. The work. to cover the en-
tire district, will cost about $4,000
but City Engineer Doolittle has a
plan under which the property own
ers can get off with the improvement
at the slightest minimum of incon-
venience in the way of payment.
Takes Big Territory
The plan, as prepared, covers the
territory from Brown avenue north
to the city limits and from Sixth ave-
nue. west to the city limits and the
financial phase is covered by a ten
year bond proposition under which
two or three dollars a month, for
each property owner, will be all that
need be set aside to cover the cost
of the work. The Improvements will
give good sidewalks and crossings,
proper street grades and will cause
an extension of the United States mail
delivery service as one of the result
ing benefits. In every way modern
izing of the entire section in the way
Of street and sidewalk improvements
will be of general benefit.
Ev-r since last fall, when residents
made an application for some better
ment Of the conditions Mr.. Doolittle
has had his men engaged in prepar-
ing data and when the applications
were made to the council Monday
evening he was in a state or pre-
paredness. Therefore, at the next
meeting Of the council the members
and the people of Modern Addition
will have the opportunity of deciding
whether all or portion of their sec
ton of the town is to be improved.

According to Mr. Wende. he and the

of their cases Wednesday,.
After hearing OF the testimony Of
the boys Saturday, there was some
discussion among the county officials
and the business men who had be-
come interested in retaining the
youngsters, as to the reason for the
shortcomings of the boys. Nearly
every one who was at the hearing
was of the opinion that the boys were
not entirely to blame for their condi-
ton. 1t was the belief that they were
in a measure creatures Of environ

eral that If the boys were given a
chance under the right conditions they
would make good. Several of the

GRAVE ERROR
At HANFORO
Is Reported in the Installation Of
the Pumps at the Coyote Rap
ids Power Plant
WHITE BLUFFS PAPER
SAYS THIS is THE. CASE
Entire Ditch Is Being Ovehauled
and Deficiencies in Construc-
ton Are Being Made Right by
the Engineers in Charge

Tho experts employed in making
the improvements on the Hanford
pumping station at Coyote Rapids
for the Pacific Power & Light COM
pany have found two important de-
fects in installation of tho pumps
The report has been in circulation
in the valley over II year, in limited
circles, that one of the pumps was
put in upside down. 1t is said that
the experts have found that report
to have been true.
The most serious defect found, how
ever, is said to have been relative
installation. the position of the pumps
having boon such that the efficiency
of one pump was neutrali2ed 33 1-3
per cent by its forced flow being
again affected by the other pump.
In other words, one-third OF the wa
ter handled by one Of the pumps was
working against the other pump $
flow.
Men Informed on this class of by
drauics say the corrected installation
alone will permit the same pumps,
operated by the Same power, to de-
liver into the irrigation canal the
coming season at least one-third more
water.
Ditch improvements
Along the entire length of the canal
from Coyote to the outlet below Han
ford there are crews of men ana
teams employed on Improvement. A
large section of the ditch between
the White Bluffs intake and the lower
end of the ditch is being cemented.
Men at work cementing the ditch
say Is It wonder that any water
ever reached the lower end of the
canal, and they add that very little
would ever have reached there had
It not been for the head forcing 1t
along. In some spots the bottom OF
the ditch was as porous as "A sieve.
All the silt has been washed out or
the soil in the canal, leaving bed
of gravel through which the water
rapidly percolated with ease. 1t was
this heavy seepage which caused a
shortage of water for short time
last season at Hanford.
Considerable new acreage under the
Hanford ditch will be irrigated this
season. but Indications are that there
will be superabundance of water
for all-and then some.-White Blufis
Spokesman.

According to General Orozco, the
leader Of the insurrectos. his men
fired only SO times
Good Foot Races
He declared the federals got away
so fast they were out of range before
more shots could be fired at them
Tonight the federals are behind the
walls of the cathedral OF Guadeloupe,
the barracks and the bull ring at
JuareZ, across the river from here.
Orozco remains in possession of the
position which he occupied at noon
and held against the formal advance.
He declared in an interview with
the Associated Press correspondent
that he firmly intends to attack
Juarez, but that he awaits the arri-
val of Blanco with $50 men He said
he looks for the latter at any mo-
ment. Orozco's force numbers be-
tween five and six hundred men, half
of whom We're engaged this after
noon. The federals, by actual count.

Position of Vantage
Oro2co quilted the ranch where the

to the front in an automobile gave
warning to the FL Tasoans and quick
ly scores of other cars, each loaded
with many of the passengers being
women, carriages, express wagons,
hay racks, bicycles and street cars,
hied to the point Of vantage whence
the battle could be seen. other hum
dreds came on foot arriving breath
less after it was all over.
Desultory Engagement
This afternoon. when Colonel Rab-
ago marched out on the river road
the easternmost of Orozco's forces
opened fire. When the foot soldiers
appeared on the crest about 500 yards
distant, the federals halted in COM
pact mass but escaped injury because
the "33" rifles carried by the revolt
utionists were not effective at that
distance. They returned the fire for
Is minutes and then retreated at q
dog trot. The crowd of sightseers on
the American side bear witness to the
celebrity of the retreat OF the federals
