John Dague Has Life Crushed
Out Beneath Wheels of a
Heavily Loaded Wagon
THROWN FROM SEAT ON
ROUGH PIECE OF ROAD
Body is Found Under Wagon Many
Hours After Accident-Body is
Shipped to Walla Walla

John Dague, well known wheat
rancher, was crushed to death under
the wheels Of a heavily loaded wagon
last Saturday evening about 15 miles
southwest of this city in the Horse
Heaven hills. The rancher's body
was found about 2 o'clock Sunday af-
ternoon by William Lee, well driller
employed with the George Rowe outfit
on the j. H. Cox ranch.
The position of the body, which
was lying under the wagon just in
front of the hind wheel indicates that
Dague was pitched from the high seat
when a front wheel dropped into a
deep chuck hole. One wheel had pass
ed over the head and one shoulder
and /. N. Mueller, who took charge
of the case, is of the opinion that
death was instantaneous.
Dague, who was teaming for the
well drillers, left town Saturday af-
ternoon about three o'clock with three
tons of coal drawn by six-horse
team. He had left the county road
and was crossing a field near the Bent
ley home and was about two miles
from his destination when the accident
happened. The road at this point is
steep and badly cut up and the fact
that the wagon did not catapault down
the hill after the driver was thrown
was due to the deep dust and ruts.
AS Dague fell the lines wrapped about
his body and the lead teams were
pulled back and became so entangled
that they remained on the spot until
found about twenty hours later by
Lee.
Sunday evening the body was
brought to the local undertaking par
lors where funeral services were con-
Quoted at eleven o'clock Monday fore
oon by Rev. X. s. Tontz, of the Con-
gregational church, and under the aus
pices of the local /. o. o. F. lodge, Of
which Mr.. Dague was a member. The
body was shipped on the noon train
to Walla Walla and buried in Noun
tain View cemetery beside the deceas-
eds mother and father.
John Dague was born in Ohio and
was 53 years of age the first of this
month. He came to Kennewick IL
years ago and homesteaded in Horse
,aven and has followed wheat
ranching since that time, being widely
acquainted in town and throughout
the hill country. He was unmarried
but leaves two brothers, A. e. Dague,
+ Section Nine of this city, and Geo.
Dague, of Walla Walla, sister, Mrs.
Ella Mcknight, of California, a half
brother who lives in Oregon and two
half sisters in Kansas.

SPEEDS IN FRONT
OF COPS BULLETS
Stranger is Invited to Jail but
Declines Invitation and Beats
1t to Krazy House

A stranger with no hat but good
pair of legs, and whose special forte
seems to be running, furnished an
elusive target for several bullets from
Policeman ]. B. Haydon's revolver and
excitement for q number Of specta-
tors this morning. Hayden wanted
take the man to Jail but he pre-
ferred the Krazy House on the carni-
al grounds.
The man first came to the notice of
the policeman about three o'clock this
morning when he showed up on Sec
ond street and wanted the officer to
find him hat or bed or both. Mr..
Hayden informed him that there was
not an empty room in any of the no.
tells but suggested that he ask the
night clerk at one of the hotels for
,ermission to sleep in the lobby or
the corridors. Instead of going to a
Eel the man loafed about the streets
awhile and then took up position in
front Of the First National bank.
When Hayden crossed the street
toward him he started to run needless
of the officers command to "stop."
The officer fired one shot but the run
ner made his escape around the rear
Of the bank building.
About nine o'clock Mr.. Hayden
und the stranger, still hatless, loaf
ing on Yakima street and asked him
to accompany him to. the city Jail.
The fellow obeyed without protest
but upon arriving at the Jail door he
lodged around the corner and started
ia sprint up the alley against time.
The officer emptied his revolver after
the fugitive but none of the shots
took effect. He entered the carnival
grounds at the rear of Kings store
and did low dive under the walls OF
the Krazy house tent. He was chased
t, overpowered and led back to jail
by carnival employees.
The man is not included in the hobo
acquaintance of the local police force
md is unknown to members of the
carnival company. He refuses to talk
ther about his hat or his past.

UPPER VALLEY IS
SHORT OF WATER
Flow in Yakima River at Gap is
Little More than Third Of
Supply Needed by Canals

Never before in the history Of irri-
cation in the Yakima Valley has the
shortage Of water been so acute and
unless there are early rains to re-
plenish the streams the situation will
become even more serious. It is un-
derstood that waterusers under the
Sunnyside canal have abandoned hope
of keeping their alfalfa fields green
and are utilizing the entire water sup
ply in their orchards.
When asked today concerning re-
port that the Pacific Power & Light
company had been forced to shut down
their hydro-electric plant at Naches,
j. H. Siegfried, superintendent Of
operation, said the plant had not been
shut down but it had become neces-
sary to use their steam auxiliary
plants to generate the necessary cur
rent. "We will not shut down the
waterpower plant as long as it is pos
sible to get any current out Of it"
said Mr.. Siegfried this afternoon. eve
are pulling between 5000 and $500
horse power at the Naches plant today
and are operating our steam plants
both at North Yakima and Walla Wal
la. We have not yet fired up the Ken
newick plant but are overhauling the
boilers and getting everything in
readiness to start If it is needed. 1t
is probable that we will have to put
it into operation by Saturday Of this
week."
Some idea of the shortage Of water
in the upper Yakima river may be OBJ
tanned from the fact that yesterday
the flow through the gap was but 511
second feet whereas flow Of 1480
second feet is required to supply the
normal needs Of the irrigation canals.
| In commenting on this fact. Mr.
Siegfried said the waterusers in this
district did not begin to realize what
irrigation troubles really are. Owing
to the heavy return flow from the up
per projects the Northern Pacific 1r.
rigation company, Of this city, and
the Horn Rapids Irrigation company
/ of Richland, are still able to supply
full contract allowance to all water.

l;pce the question was discussed at
The Commercial club luncheon yester-
day.
Chairman Crosby and F. r. jeffrey
vare both out of town yesterday and
the task Of fighting the battles OF the
committee fell to E. w. Trenbath. AS
= the meeting Of the club week ago,
luncheon talk seemed to be strongly
ouposed to the river site. In again
admitting the committees PROPOSE
tion Mr.. Trenbath said the question
for consideration really was whether
the business men wanted a little fruit
and produce show or an event with
real carnival attractions. He argued
that Il the former was wanted an up
town site would be selected but if the
latter, no site offered so many dis
tinct advantages as the river site.
He reported that the committee had
Investigated the baseball ground pro-
position and that between $500 and
5000 would be necessary to fence the
grounds. With hardly an exception
those who participated in the discus
sion voiced objections to the river 10
cation.
The committee is not letting the site
controversy interfere with plans for
the exhibit end Of the carnival. The
premium lists have been printed and
are now ready for distribution. Sec
retary Groom requests that all farmers
who expect to enter any products call
at his Office in the Commercial club
rooms and secure copy of the pre-
MUM list, or write or telephone and
the list will be mailed.
Owing to the fact that travelling
carnival company is showing in town
the committee has cancelled all car

TAXATION BOARD
CLOSES SESSIONS
Water Right Assessments of Ir-
rigation Company is Only
Hard Problem Submitted

"When is water-right not water
right, or rather has a water-right
which really isn't a water-right a
taxable value 2" This is the question
which the members Of the county
board of equalization carried home
with them to sleep over.
The question was raised during the
boards sessions here when ]. ]. Rud-
kin, of the. Northern Pacific Irriga-
ton company appeared to protest
against the assessed values of certain
unimproved lands owned by the CONS
pany. Mr.. Rudkin takes the view that
the unimproved lands of the company
to which no water-right has been le-
gally attached are no more valuable
than the unimproved lands Of other
owners who have no other water-right.
IN other words he holds that If there
is a taxable value to the water-right
sich the company has to attach to
these lands when they are sold, such
value has already been taxed in the
assessment against the company's ir-
rigation system. He maintains that
to assess the water-right as appur-
tenant to the land is in effect to levy
q double assessment against the irri-
CATION system Of the company.
The board took no action on Mr..
Rudkin's request for q readjustment
of values but took the matter under
advisement.
This in. fact was the only knotty
problem which confronted the board
during their four-days' session here
"a number Of taxpayers appeared be.

instances the differences were easily
adjusted and generally to the salts

away from other live stock. The COW
stable need not necessarily be an ex-
pensiVe part of the barn, but should
first of all be made as sanitary as pos
sible. This can best be done by using
concrete for the stall floors and gut
ters. While the first cost may seem
high, yet it is cheap in the end, owing
to its long lasting qualities, and it is
very easy to keep clean. If this is
too expensive, a good arrangement is
to make the manure cutters of con-
crete or wood and use wood or clay
for the stall floor. Nearly all of the
best dairy barns now have concrete
floors throughout, and this is always
advisable if the owner can afford it.
The length of the stall varies from
four feet three inches for small COWS
to five feet for large ones. The proper
width is three and one-half feet. The
manger should be two and one-half
feet wide, and the manure gutter six
teen inches wide by six to eight inches
deep. There should be feed way
1OuI W uNt l6GL WIuC III lIOuL VI LuG
COWS, and walk way behind the COWS.
The cows can be confined in the
stalls either by using the modern
swing stanchion or by a chain tie.
Then can either be kept confined in
the stalls during bad weather, or they
may be allowed to run loose in a part
of the barn and the stalls used for a
milking barn. The latter method Is
very much in favor with many dairy
men and saves a great deal of labor
in caring for the COWS. If plenty of
bedding is used they can be kept
clean with less work by using this sys-
TEN. Either method is much better
than combining the cows in small box
stalls.
Plenty of light and ventilation
should be provided for, by allowing at
least four square feet of window space |
to the COW. In this climate the ven
tilatlon can be had by arranging the |
windows on hinges at the center so |
that they open like transom.
