set on the day of the funeral of Elk
Governor Robbie. The Robbie portrait in
the rotunda of the State House has
also been draped in mourning by or

nation concerning his death is issued
by Governor Frederick w. Plaisted

PAT MULLINS WANTS
LEGAL INFORMATION
Taxpayer Afraid City Would Have
to Foot Expense in Case
of Death

Pat Mullins wants to know and
wants to know quick "where we stand
whether We are afoot or horse
back" in regard to who would be re-
sponsible for accident or loss of life
in case of fire or an alarm of fire in
the Yakima theater, His query is a
sequence to the report of the build
ing inspector and electrical Inspector
of the city made February "a to the
city commission.
George o. Shumate. city attorney,
was out of the city Saturday, being
at Seattle in attendance upon the
democratic state central committee, so
his opinion could not be learned, but
his partner and assistant city attor-
ney, George b. Holden, expressed
himself briefly and unqualifiedly that
the theater owners only would be
responsible in case of death there by
accident, notwithstanding the report
above referred to. Mr.. Holden stated
that the city could not be held for
damages in such a case.
Commissioner Wilbur Crocller said
that the matter was simply being held
in allegiance until the arrival home
from the east of John Cort, in accord
ance with the request made by J.
Edward Cort The elder Mr.. Cort was
expected to reach Seattle about the
18th instant, and to come to North
Yakima within a few days thereafter.
Mr.. Mullins is not the only taxpayer
who was of the opinion that the city
could be held for damages, when the
city commission had failed to at once
condemn the theater after the build
ing inspector and electrical inspector
had earnestly recommended that it
be condemned at the close of the pres
ent theatrical season.
1t is probable that City Attorney
Shumate will be asked to hand down
an official opinion on the matter early
next week. to hold the situation until
the arrival of John Cort, after which
the city commission will act.

Complaints Have Commenced to
Come in That Many Irrigating

be waged against weeds of all kinds,
Canada thistles in particular. The
weed question at this season of the
wear always comes to the front Those
who own real estate, and are careful
and prompt to keep their premises
free from weeds of all kinds are
anxious that their neighbors do the
same, with the object of making it
easier from year to year to keep these
pests in subsection ...
Complaints have already commenced
to come in that many of the canals
and irrigating bitches of the county
are overgrown with weeds, and that
the owners thereof allow them to
grow. thus making them a menace to
the irrigated lands adjoining orchard
lands particularly.
The county commissioners have
taken action on the matter and have
had Assistant County Attorney O. X

tons of the law in the matter, and
draft a set of resolutions, which they
passed unanimously,
Following are the statutes and tht
