WOMEN WANT SHELTER
Movement Started to Secure Storm
Shed for Farmers Teams

A movement has been started by
the Womans club to secure a storm
shed where farmers may hitch their
teams in inclement weather. 1t is
planned to erect the shed along the
alley back of Second street between
Yakima and Tacoma. AS this is in
side the fire limits, there is some doubt
as to whether the shed can be of
frame construction, as planned by the
ladies.
The matter was brought to the at
tention of the council Tuesday evening
by Mayor Richardson who read let
ter from the state insurance surveyor
advising that the erection of the shed
would not increase the insurance rates
in that block. The surveyor, however,
doubted the advisibility of the coun-
cil's permitting violation of the fire
ordinance.
The matter was rererred to the fire
and fire limits committee for investi-
cation.

ing. If this material is found suitable
it will be used in filling low places in
the streets.

HEDGER BROWNS
IN THE YAKIMA
Prominent PrOsser Business Man
Meets Death While Hunt
ing Ducks on River

Prosser, Nov. 18-Frank S. Hedger,
a prominent young business man OF
this city, was drowned in the Yakima
river near Gibbon about 1880 a. m.
In company with Angus Mckay Of the
City Dray line and his son, Fewlas,
Mr.. Hedger had started in rowboat
on a duck hunting excursion to the
mouth of the Yakima river, near Rich
land. While shooting series Of rap
ids near Gibbon the boat made water
rapidly and sank, Mr.. Hedger, who
was an excellent swimmer, immed-
lately started for shore.
Mr.. Mckay and son remained with
the boat which had regained the sur
face bottom side up. Seeing that He'd
ger made no progress against the cur
rent, Mckay urged him to turn to-
ward the boat, which he endeavored to
do. Finally Fewlas Mckay left the
boat in an effort to succor Mr.. Hedger
who sank almost immediatly after.
He did not reappear and Mckay re-
turned to the boat, which soon drlfted
into quiet water in which the men
had no difficulty in making their way
TO shore. Upon receipt of the news a
dozen automobiles loaded with men
went to the scene and dragged the
river for the body all afternoon.
Several stores were closed while the
search was in progress. The body was
not recovered up to late hour to-
n;gbt Mr.. Hedger had been connect

city for six years.
He was prominent IN ira'erna. u
ders and his death is universally ue
plored. His wife, Rose Pearl nsosrs' ne snd
Of this city, and his parents ". any
Mrs. F. S. Hedger, OF kiona' survive

COYOTES BREAK
THE ALLIES LINES
Mobilization Was Faulty and the
Prairie Wolves Still Howl
in Horse Heaven

That the coyote drive in Horse Hea-
ven last Sunday was not a bowling
success was in no respect due to the
coyotes. They were there to be driv-
en- and were still there to howl after
the drive was over.
The days fun netted three coyotes
and jack rabbits too numerous to men
tion. One of the coyotes was brought
to earth by Bill Gleichman and
another fell before l.. w. Brown, of
the Highlands. 1t is reported that
about thirty of hte prairie rovers
eluded the hunters and made their
getaway through a break in the
battle front.
"The strategy of the captains was
excellent but their mobilization was
faulty" is the criticism offered by one
of the hunters and this seems to be
the genral opinion. The faulty mob
ilization was due to the fact that one
company of sixteen warriors disre-
garded orders and failed to show up
when they should have. The captains
of the hunt were not aware of the
weakness in their lines until after
the hunt. The coyotes were.
In all more than 200 men partici-
pated in the drive and everyone re-
ports fine days sport and another
drive will probably be pulled off in
the near future.

FIRE IN THE PANTORIUM
Gasoline Fumes Explode and Blaze
Follows-Damage Not Serious

It was Friday the Thirteenth. The
wind was blowing gale. Fire origin
ating from gasoline explosion broke
out in the rear of the building on
Second street occupied by the Pantor-
ium and Failchild's and Martins Bar
ber shop. It was an unluckey day but
lucky fire-lucky because II. =. Hoi-
loway, proprietor of the Pantorlum'
who was in grave danger of being suf-
located by gas fumes, escaped without
injury, and the quick and efficient
work of the fire department kept the
flames confined within the building
and prevented clean sweep OF row
of frame structures.
The fire started during the noon
hour in the cleaning room OF the Fan
torium while Mr.. Holloway was pre-
pairing to put some clothes in the gas
oline tank. Other suits just removed
were hanging about the room, and
the air was surcharged with gas. Mr.
, Holloway believes he must have step
ned on a match head for suddenly
there was an explosion and flames shot
from the floor to the ceiling. Before
he could rush from the room there
was second explosion and the gaso-
line tank hit the ceiling.
y Most of the fixtures in the 1rone
room of the barber shop were carried
into the street and the fire was ex-
tinguished before serious damage was
done. Several suits Of clothes IN the
Pantorium were burned and the rear
rooms of the building damaged.
The building is owned by F. d. Lu-
man, of North Yakima, who asked per. Pc. .
mission of the council to repair it. Ine
matter has been referred to the fire
and fire limits committee. Faircnid
& Martin have moved their shop 70
the Stock building but have not YET
fully decided where they will locate.

Documents Are Returned From
Denver and Council Takes
No Action
TO RETIRE $1,000 OF
OUTSTANDING DEBTS
Council Seems to Think il Better to
Pay OFF Warrants from the
Current Expense Fund

Finances, which translated into
present day usage, means debts, held
the center of the stage at the regular
meeting of the city council Tuesday
evening. As usual when finances are
on the program the stellar attraction
was the $4,000 worth of funding
bonds which returned home recently
from a trip to the First National
Bank of Denver.
Following the failure of Keller
Brothers to make good on their con-
tract for the purchase of the bonds,
the city requested the Denver Bank
to return the bonds which it held in
escrow. The bonds were returned and
they are now in the vaults of the First
National Bank of this city.
After the special bonding election
last June, City Treasurer j. L. John
son discontinued the calling of OUT
standing warrants until the bonds
could be disposed of. AS result the
treasurer's monthly report for octo-
ber shows balance of about $1,000
in the current expense fund on Nov
ember 1. Tuesday evening the council
by unanimous resolution instructed
the city treasurer to Immediately call
and pay off $1,000 worth of outstand-
ing warrants. This action was taken
after the council had been advised by
City Attorney C. l.. Holcomb that the
retirement of these funds would in
no way interfere with subsequent
sale Of the bonds.
With this $1,000 out of the way, the
council took up the question of dis
posing of the bonds. Another bond
buying firm has made an offer and
are willing to handle the issue at
terms less favorable than those pro-
missed by Keeler Brothers. The dis
cussion brought no results and the
question was shunted over for future
consideration. The majority of the
council seemed inclined to let the
bond issue go by the board and at
tempt to retire the warrants some
time out of the current expense fund.
Mayor Richardson was emphatic in
urging that an effort be made to dis
pose of the bonds and retire the war
rants now. He thought the retire
ment of the warrants by the current
expense route would be a slow and
uncertain process and an expensive
one as well, since the bonds will draw
a less rate Of interest that the war
rants. He called attention to the cur
tailment of the revenues which will
follow the abolishment of the saloons.
He insisted that every cent that can
be raised by taxation will be needed
to meet the actual running expenses
of the city and there is but scant pos
sibility of any surplus for several
years to come.
The council evinced no desire to
take any definite action in the matter
and bonds were passed up for election
returns. The vote of the city primary
was canvassed and the result as pub
lished last week was certified.
