SPECIAL ELECTION At
YELM NOVEMBER I
COURT ACTION EXPECTED, HOW
EVER, TO TIE Up PRO.
CEEDINGS,

A special election is to be held at
Mosman's store In Yelm Wednesday,
November Z, on the question of cs-
tablishing an irrigation district on
Yelm prairie, the county commits
sioners decided Monday after con-
Quoting another hearing on the petit
ton last Saturday and debating all
day Monday on the question.
Prior to the election 1t is expected,
however. that Attorney Frank C.
Owings of this city. representing
Messrs. ia. Mckenzie. Thos. M.
Chambers. Frank Capen and c. w.
Boost, who want their property ex-
cluded from the proposed district.
will institute court action to prevent
the election and stop further pro-
ceedings on the petition until final
decision by the courts.
Exclude IS Forties.
The boundaries as fixed by the
commissioners include all of the
1000 acres on the prairie which the
petitioners asked to be included, ex-
cept two 40-acre tracts on the Steb-
bins place, held to be ground too
high to be benefited: two forties of
the Chambers farm, supplied with
water by creek; two forties in the
Mckenzie farm, supplied with water
from a small lake; three forties of
the Capen and Boost tracts, supplied
by spring; and four and half
other 40-acre pieces similarly sit
uated, a total of about $40 acres.
The remainder Of each farm was in
corporated In the district.
Sentiment throughout the Yelm
neighborhood for the establishment
of a formal district is said to be so
strong that an overwhelming vote in
its favor is expected at the special
election. For this reason 1t is antic-
ipated that injunction proceedings
will be brought before that date, and
the issue presented to the courts on
the question Of the right of the coun-
ty commissioners to include within
the district all the property of the
protestants, except the specific tracs
excluded. Attorney Owings inti-
mated that such action would be
brought and made it plain that the
opponents of the district plan pro-
pose to fight it through the courts. If
necessary to obtain the exclusion of
their property.
Big Crowd at Hearing.
Residents of the Yelm section
crowded the commissioners Office at
the hearing Saturday morning. At
torney P. M. Troy representing the
petitioners and Attorney Owings the
protestants. The petitioners, who
represented all but about 1,400 OF
the 1000 acres in the proposed dis
trict, submitted a plat Of the district
with an estimate Of the assessmen,
against each tract. The hearing fol.
lowed a personal inspection Of the
district by the commissioners.
The hearing adjourned at 1880
Saturday morning. and the commits
sioners spent all that afternoon and
all day Monday endeavoring to reach
an agreement on the boundaries Of
the district. distribution of costs anG
similar details, announcing their de-
cision and the date Of the election
that evening. They appointed Franz
Capen inspector and ]. P. Martin ant
Sam Price judges of the election.

New York Cotton.

New York, Sept. 10.-The cotton
market showed a firmer tone earlier
today, and after opening unchar ed
to IL points higher, sold 20 to 27
points above Saturdays closing. Cow
ering was active, being inspired by
reports of another tropical disturb
ance in the Caribbean, more numer-
Gus complaints of deterioration from
the belt, and reports that holders in
the interior were not fully following
the decline. The stronger technical
position naturally contributed to re-
dictionary sentiment, but the market
met considerable southern selling on
the advance to 2O.24 for October and
20.1S for January.
Early offerings were readily alb
soroed by continued active covering,
with the advance extending to 20.43
for October and 2031 for January, or
about SO to 40 points above Satur-
days close.
