RESUMES
SCHOOL BOARD SEAT
His Resignation Is Not Accepted
and Business of District Pro-
M ceeds Peacefully

o. A. Fechter has resumed his
duties as a member of the North
Yakima school district board of edu-
cation. He took his place at the
board meeting last night following Il
vote of refusal to accept his resgna-
ton, which was handed in a, couple Of
weeks ago.
Mr.. Watt, president of the board,
moved that the resgnati ton be not ac-
oepted. Mrs. Wilson seconded the
motion. Messrs. Watt and knerr
voted Yes as did Mrs. Wilson. Mr.
McAulay voted NO
Mr.. McAulay said that as petition
had been presented to Mr.. Fech.er.
asking him to withdraw his resisna-
ton, and as he had not acted on that
petition, he did not see that it was up
to the board to invite him back. 1t
was true that hundreds of people had
petitioned the district not to accept
the petition, but ii was equally true
that thousands nd not asked any
thing of the sort.
Knerr Gives His Reason
Mr. Knerr said that because Mr..
Fechter had been elected as a mem
Der of the board and because 500 or
more of the electors had asked the
board TO continue him as member
he would vote in favor of refusing to
accept tie resignation
The vote having been taken, Secre-
tary Kumler of the board called Mr..
Fechter up by telephone at his home,
acquainted him with the result and
within ; minutes Mr.. Fechter had re-
ported for duty
The ladies who presented the petit
ton asking for the reinstatement of
the retiring member had asked, q
week ago, permission to be present at
tn board meeting last evening, which
lwas granted: but they did not put in
an appearance.
Heating Repairs Costly
Repairs to the heating apparatus OF
the Lincoln school, which will be
made this summer. will cost, at the
estimate of Ralph Chatham, the ex-
pert who has prepared the plans,
$4,000 and repairs to the heating ap-
paratus of the Fairview school will
cost $4324 1t is the opinion of the
hoard that by the time contractors and
others have been satisfied $4,000 will
h-ye been expended. The matter has
been referred to the building commit
tee with power to act, This commit
tee consists Of Messrs. Watt and
Fechter and Mrs. Wilson.
Medicine Chest Bought
Various changes and alterations and
additions and repairs were recon-
mended by the committee on build

More impressed than ever with
Yakima, convinced that the Northern
Pacific is not only the peer, but the
leader in all transcontinental railroad
lines, astounded at the real estate ac-
tivity in western Canada, hopeful that
some time In the future the United
States will be able to pass through Il

prepared to send lot of Yakima

M. Perry is back in North Yakima
from a trip as far as Chicago, re-
stunning west by the Canadian Pa
cific through Winnipeg Edmonton,
Calgary, Vancouver, Victoria and
other cities. Mrs. Perry returned with
him.
Cure for Dissatisfaction
anyone who is not satisfied with
Yakima ought to take a trip" said
Mr.. Perry. 1--WE, when all is said
and done, can make a showing. Per-
haps our prices appear high to the
average easterner, but we can give a
reason therefor Now western Cana
day is getting a great many Americans
who are out after cheap lands, and
they are getting them. And when
say they are cheap lands l mean it.
cheap price For the present We are
losing those people, as otherwise they
would come west. Ultimately, | think,
many of them will come to this coun-
try and this state.
Canada's Land Boom
perhaps the thing that impressed
me most on my trip was the land
boom in western Canada. In gem
eral way l knew about it, but had nc
idea of it's characters. 1t is ten
times yes, twenty times, worse than
Yakima was when our real estate was
moving at its fieetest. Those Canadian
towns have three and four hundred

 ANOTHER RELIC-H R. Patrick S at last pleads guilty to the charge of making relics of antiquity but he says that they are all genuine, even if he does make them. His method is to plant the relics, then wait a long time until thev become antique, then go and dig them up. Yesterday he found in the old ruin on his place a jack knife that he lost twenty years or more ago. He also las a habit of providing proof for every thing. This time it was in this fashion. He thought a great deal of the knife and when he lost 1t he went and got another just near like it as he could and still has it to com pare with the relic.
