North Yakima and the entire Yakima Valley is sufforlnj; from a fuel famine. Yesterday the t'aseade lumber mill gave out notice that it would shut down very ' soon to make repairs as a result of the flood and that after the shutdown there would be no more wood. Coal cannot be had here ore-tenth what is required to supply the demand. Hun dreds of teams stand daily at the local offices of the Northwestern Improvement Company, owners of the Roslyn Coal Holds, awaiting their turn to get a ton of coal as it is brought in frojn the mines. A whole trainload of coal passed through hero .today and hut two, cars were put off. This lasted about oneSiour.

The people of Yakima City are -without coal and none has been taken there by the companies this week. The people ihave organized themselves together and are preparing to capture the first train of coal that stops there on its way Kast. All the little towns along the valley are without fuel.

Shcilah will make port next Thursday with 6000 tons, but by that time the 6000 tons of the Titania will have been used: In other words the 10.000 or 12,000 tons of coal due here next week will last San Francisco about a week, and unless vessels begin to arrive in this port loaded with coal the people may be reduced to extremities. Many importers, Interviewed on the sub ject confirmed the possibility of a short age In fuel, but express tTie hope that something will occur to reHeve tho local situation. One dealer said that although the coal supply is very short, there is no danger of a famine, and that arrivals ag gregating 20,000 tons are expected here shortly. An advance of $3 per ton by the retailer to the consumer was made re cently. Payette Citizens Help Themselves. PAYETTE. Idaho. Nov. 30.

It wired back asking the citizens to take only tw3 cars, and' that the company would set out six cars last night from a train that was then at Mountain Home. Tho two cars were promptly unloaded.

Run out of Seattle by the police, members of the "Church of God's gwn Children" have camped at Ballard, and the nights are made hideous by frantic shouts and shrieks of the converts. A strange re ligious frenzy has taken a strong hold on the members, and men, women and children, who seem to be originally ra tional, bscome raving maniacs while going through weird performances. Women cry and scream so loudly that they can be heard for blocks, and chil dren do '-heir best to Imitate their eld ers. During the period of conversation one person always gives out an un earthly yell, this signifying that a new spirit has come over him and that he is saved. Children vie with one another in go ing through the performances and bringing in converts, praying, moaning and yelling and rolling on the floor In apparent agony for hours at a time. It is feared that if the meetings are not stopped immediately. some of the women members will lose their minds. The church Is called the "Jones Street Free Mission." It does not be lieve In having a rastor, but Is led by T. E. Tennyson, a Norwegian carpenter. BRANCH LINE TO GLADSTONE Chantatiqua Directors Are Also Promised Light and Power. OREGON CITY. Or..

Dark blood flowed out of wounds in many f laces, and I wad so disheartened that thought surely my last chance was slowly leaving me. As the foot did ' not improve, you can readily imagine how I felt. I was simply disgusted and tired of life. I stooa this pain, which was dreadful, for six months, and during this time I was not able to wear a shoe and not able to work. "Some one spoke to me about Cuti cura. The consequences were I bought ' a set of the Cuticura Remedies of one of my friends who was a drug gist, and the praise that I gave after the second application is beyond description ; it seemed a miracle, for the Cuticura . Remedies took effect immediately. I washed the foot with the Cuticura Soap before applying the Ointment and I took the Resolvent at the same time. After two weeks' treat ment my foot was healed completely. People who had seen my foot during my illness and who have seen it since the cure, can hardly believe their own eyes."

POINT TO LATE TESTIMONY Injunction Will Be Asked to Prevent Alfred Budge, Just Re-elected, From Taking His Seat on the Bench. BOISE, Idaho. Nov. 30. (Special.) H. W. Lockhart. chairman of the Demo cratic state committee, who was in this city today, formally announced the deter mination of the executive committee to bring a case to test the eligibility of Judge Alfred Budge to hold office under the Idaho constitution. Judge Budge is Judge of the Fifth District Court, com prising the counties of Oneida, Bannock and Bear Lake, and has just been re elected to that position without opposi tion. It has been understood for some time that the Democratic committee in tended to test his right to hold office, and' the purpose now has been officially an nounced. Mr. Lockhart admits Judge Budge is not a polygamist. He does not state the ex act ground upon which his Ineligibility will be charged, but It is generally known what the general trend of the reasoning is upon which the case will rest. The constitution of the state provides that no polygamist shall vote, the Inhibition ex tending to any person who belongs to a church, teaches polygamy or encourages persons to enter Into that Etate. When the Mormon Church, through the manifesto of 1890, renounced polygamy, and announced it would be no longer sanctioned by the church, it was held that it would admit all Idaho Mormons to the ballot. For two years the state, under another clause of the constitution, kept them out by legislative action and then restored to them the franchise. The point now made is that testimony given by the leading Mormons, especially President Smith, shows the church is teaching po lygamy, by practice at least, and that therefore the Mormon people as a whole stand disfranchised under the constitu tion and cannot vote or hold office. The case against Budge will take the form of an injunction to restrain him from taking office. It will test the status of all Mormons in Idaho as voters. Progressives Name a New Ticket. SOUTH BEND.
