VOL. XXI. SCHOOL BL ARE NUMEROUS Over Tan Thousand of Money of the District la Paid Out by the Directors RECIPE BOOKS ARE NOT A REQUIRED PURCHASE Sanitary Drinking Fountains Are Condemned Except Those Which Furnish Hot Water for the Fairview Folk Money of the school district em bracing North Yakima to tho amount of $10,817.61 was authorized by the school directors last night to be paid out in settlement of bills of the district. Of this total $8,408.70 was for salaries of teachers and jan itors. There are 97 teachers and 11 janitors In the employ of the district. The total paid out for general hills yvas $2,408.91, which went tor repairs, disinfectants, supplies and a thousand and one othar things neded In the school work. Director Feciiter, as a member of the finance committee, de clined to affix his signature to the bills In connection with the manual training and domestic science depart ments. Superintendent's Report Superintendent Sterling, in a report on the yvork of the month, wont tit great length into conditions in Seat tle at the state university and in the public schools and also in the public schools In Tacoma. He had visited these Institutions as a delegate from the North Yakima district at the re cent semi-centennial at tho state uni versity. He learned much, he said, of Western tendencies and Ideals which would be helpful in his yvork. About tin- Recipe Book With reference to the recipe book which Is being used In the grade work in the domestic science in the schools in this city. Mr. Sterling, In his report, made it a matter of record that the books are merely a note book with some of the matter which pupils would otherwise have to copy al ready printed therein as a conven ience. The book, said, is "In no sense a text book, and its purchase by tho pupils is "not required absolutely." None of the proceeds from the sale of the book go to the teacher, ho said, SBd no objection lias been made to the teacher or to him over the use ot the book. As a matter of tact, he said, the pupils prefer It. Plans Not Purchased. Mr. Sterling asked for the purchase of 40 copies of a portfolio of draw ings for use in the manual training classes of Miss Beckwith, these books to cost $20, and he asked also for two large clocks for the domestic science rooms of Miss Jarrard. Those requests were not granted, the board having decided that both departments are pretty well equipped for the pres ent. A request from Mrs. N. P. Hull and Mrs. Boyle, representatives of the advisory board, asking for pianos for the kindergartens was also declined for the present. The board, however, guaranteed lo stand back of the boys and girls basketball teams for $lv a month each for gymnasium and coach for the winter. The boys will use the Y. M. C. A. and the girls the Y. W. C, A. buildings. It declined to permit the use of the schools for the sale of Keel Cror,-, etavnps. High School Auditorium. The use of the high school audi torium for public meetings of one kind and another will bo grunted the: tost to be the cost of engineer, jan itor and llghis for the time the room is in use. Because tho Largo school building has never received money from the district for its athletic ap paratus the board Will stand half the cost of an equipment asked for by- Miss Meeds, tho principal of that bt.lding. Complaint was made by the super intendent over the superabundance of oil on the floors of the various school buildings, arid asked if the rule of oiling tin- Hours during each vacation could not be cut In quarter so that tha doors will be oiled but once it year, His request was granted. Mrs. Henry Lombard complained of the portable a 1 the- McKinloy school, and said that tho children there have cold feet. The board has decided to warm ihe floor as well as the rest of the room. It was reported that the sanitary drinking fountains in most of tho schools are useless because unsanitary, and that those at Fairview furnish hot water. It was decided to allow the water to remain hot until the boiler fires are quenched In the spring. Secretary Kumler called attention to the fact that the school month closes! December 22 He said that by sitting] up all night he can get the warrants' out for the teachers by the next morning so that they will be able to get their money Saturday, December 23, about 9:30 a. m. and go away for the holiday season to see their rela tives and sweethearts. He based his conclusion on the tact that he hud accomplished the t««k now three years in succession, and he was au thorized to try again. New School Director Mrs. Aletha Wflson the imwly elect ed school director will take up her duties at the first meeting In January File is elected for a term of three years The Yakima Herald. [school elections % too cumbersome %// Eight Polling Place* for Five Hun dred and Fifty Voters Does Not Seen* Necessary It cost the sohoot district of whloh North Yakima is a part just $100 to elect a new director. Less than BfiO out of a possible seven thousand or thereabouts, votes* were cast and to f ceive this vote, and in compliance with the law governing such elections there wore eight polling places, each with its judges, clerk, etc. If a di rector dies or resigns next month or any time it wiM cost another hundred dollars. Tho ox-penso Isn't heavy, but it is too much considering the interest shown. Less than one-tenth of the voters being interested 1n school mat ters it would seem, according to those who have oonsidorod the subject, that it is not necessary to have a speoial election. Central Foiling Places If a special election Is considered necessary it is felt that the one per son in ten who desires to express an opinion would be willing to vote at some central polling place. In Now York state cities with a population as high as fifty thousand people have hut one -polling place and in many other places in the United States school di rectors are elected at regular elec tions, no special election being neoes sai'v. Eight polling places in a dis trict the size of this and where such a lack of interest is manifest looks like playing "grown up," as one person ex pressed it Monday. Secretary Kumler, under the law, has no option in the matter and must hold elections in the manner of that Saturday as often as they become nec essary. The law can be changed, how ever, and a change would appear to be In order. Railway Bridge Burns A fire has been burning in the tres tle of tho Naches river bridge of the Northern Pacific railway for the past three or four days and has resisted all the efforts of the section men to quench it The tire is In the piling and filling at the approach to the bridge and is evidently working in among tbe cinders which have been dumped there, it is in a difficult po sition to roach, without excavation. It appears to bo smouldering steadily but has done no material damage. l'inds a Buck Deer A rancher in the Wide Hollow found a buck deer in his cattle corral Sunday morning and he still has It. Tho animal is apparently uninjured and had wandered into the corral of his own at cord. He Is staying because he has not as yet made up his mind to jump the fence. It is probable that the game department will ask for the release of the deer, that being in ac cord with tho terms of the law.

District No. 5 1,184.88 District No. 6 4,5(10 61 Total $23,074.20 Of the items making up the total of $6,147.40 in the general road and bridge fund expense, $2,750 was paid to tho 0.-W. R. & N. company as full compensation for the labor and ma terial in the construction of tho road north of tho Ahtanum crook niado nec essary by widening the mad from 2 4 feet as proposed by the railroad com pany to 30 feet as desired by tho county commissioners. This is th» road known as tho Union Gap road below Yakima City. A further expenditure on this fund is accounted tor as payments for right of way amounting to $.160 and $.17.* for road machinery and tools and $1 - 225 on materia] for tlie Toppenisli- Parker bridge. In road district No. 1 the principal expense was incurred In the construc tion of the Fruit vale oil macadam road, of which $3,831.06 was for labor and $2,396.22 for material, such as oil and rock used in tho road bed In road district No. 2, where the road to tho now oast Yakima bridge 1s nearing completion, $1,425 was ex pended on the- labor account, and $112.1 was invested In machinery. It fs no ticeable that almost exactly the same amount was -paid for material used for road building in this district. In road district No. 6, $2,200 was paid out for labor and about the same amount for material. This was ex pended largely in the construction of an oil macadam road in the vicinity of Selah, extending toward the bridges leading toward North Yakima.

While Mr. Bryant did not bring his quarry back with him, his trip was successful to B pronounced degree, Mr. Bryant received Information last week that Justified him in believing that a deer had been killed in tho re gion above referred to, and as this Is not the open season he put on his gum shoes and proceeded to do the Sher lock Holmes act. He went to Naches * ity lust Friday whore ho found the head of a buck deer al the place of business of Mr. T.iompsoii, a taxi dermist, who had received it for mounting. Further investigation re sulted in learning the name of the man who had had the head taken mere. Having obtained all the information possible ho returned to North Yakima. Mr. Bryant and Deputy Sheriff Hod head went to the scene yesterday In the county automobile The warden crossed the river to the camp of tho 0.-W. H. & N. company surveying par ly, whore they found Thomas A. Col lins, assistant foreman, in charge Waverly Ulz, the man for whom the warrant had beon Issued, was out in the lie-Id with the rest of the party. Mr. Collins assisted in locating Mr. I'tz, and tho arrest was made. I'm tp Cusii ii,.m,i Warden Bryant "« clothed with authority to accept bond for tho ap pearance of the prisoner In court in North Yakima. Mr. tits and his friends managed to scrape up $108.SO in cash, which sum was placed in Un hands of tho warden as bond. In ad dition Mr. Collins and others vouched for the appearance- of the prisoner In court Saturday forenoon, before Ho man D. Hunt, who will preside at the trial. The patty left North Yakima at 10:30 yesterday forenoon and got back at 7:30 p. ru. Leniency Was Shown The 0.-W. K. A N. company sur veyors are very busy Just now, work ing in a rough canyon, coming to ward North Yakima. Had Mr. Bry ant Insisted on bringing Mr. Utz back with him It would huve worked B hardship on the whole camp, and se riously Interfered with tho work. That was not his desire. Hence leniency was shown. Tho animal killed was a,n old mule deer with a magnificent set of horns, with 3ix points. It Is claimed by those In a position to know that about 30 daer were kill ed In the upper Naches river country In the fall of 1910. winter of 1910-11 and spring of 1911. Homo of the vic tims of tho ruthless hunters were does in foal, some with fawns nt their side. As a result of that outrageous violation of the law the hunting dur ing tho past legal season was ve-y poor. If that illegal slaughtering ha. not lakori place there would have beon 70 or 80 more doer there, and the sport would have- been much better. Unusual interest attaches to this ar rest, for tlie law bus been so many times flagrantly violated that It seems to have almost become a dead letter Mr Bryant says ho has n strong ense against Mr. l.'tz. Quite a number of the members of the surveying "re* with whom Mr. I'tz works will be sub poenaed, as It is claimed that the ven ison was consumed at Ihe camp. 'mo sportsman remarked hero last evening that If a conviction should bo secured In this case that It would be the tir.-t one in If, years Another said he could not remember Of a Con viction over having been obtained here, but that Yakima county hunters have simply ignored the law. Mr Bryant Is determined that the law shall be enforced hereafter, and be lie, s that a conviction, and the pub liclty that goes with It, will have the , ifci of causing hunters to think of the dire Consequences befeire they ihooi 'leer out of season hereafter. Tho penaltj for killing s dear out of leason is a 'me of from $1 ti $1, --nOe, o, up to one year in the peniten tiary, or bote tine and Imprisonment.
