Losses From Crop Failures.

| According to report recently issued by
the United States agricultural department
the losses from drought during the past
season in tie western states amount to
an incredible sum. Nebraskas corn crop
for 1894 was only o per cent Of that for
farmers in that one grain amounted to
49,, s26, 25O.
The South Dakota crop of corn was TO-
5l1 900 bushels in 1898, and only ,490,-
600 bushels in 1894, or only about per
cent. In Iowa the loss was between
800, 100000 average and S1,310,000 in
1904. The money loss in Iowa was not
less than $4,000 ,000 The Kansas crop
was mole than 1000, 600 bushels short,
and the average money loss in the west
ern corn states alone was fully 5000, 000,-
900. Nor was it the corn crop alone that
suffered. The hay crop, of an immense
value, was proportionally cut off and the
pasturage was burned uR. The losses
from drought alone in the country west
OF Indiana and Kentucky and east of Col
orado were more than the entire interest
bearing debt Of the United States.
When farmers come to a realization as
to the measure OF protection well plan
ned system of irrigation affords against
such disasters as these, they will consider
very carefully before they cast their lot
where they are at the mercy of the ee-
ments. They should ponder well these
elementary principles OF safe husbandry.
Irrigation enables a full control Of moist
ure. 1t is the best crop insurance posi-
BILE and available. Irrigation produces
the largest and most perfect crops OF
grain, grasses, fruits and vegetables. Irri-
CATION restores and maintains fertility. 1t
improves instead OF impoverishing the
SOIL and produces the best average re-
suits, OF good crops each aud every year.

Rice Growing In Yakima.

Charles Sa.aki, an educated Japanese,
has returned to Seattle after long visit
in various parts of Yakima county. His
/ visit may be OF no great or material bene-
fit to himself, because he acquired no in
terests here; but what he thinks of Yak
ina county and an idea or two of his may
be valuable to farmers along the lower
boundary who are progressive enough to
desire good remuneration for their toll
and comparatively small competitive
factor with which to compete. Sasaki
perhaps has given birth to an idea which
may ultimately prove of great value to
this valley, In his statement that 'the
lands along the Columbia river are better
suited for raising rice than much of the
rice land OF Japan, China or even the
Sandwich Islands,"
Sasaki has had years OF experience in
rice growing, and knows whereof he
speaks. He states that in the south of
China, where rice is extensively cultivat-
ed, the climate is too hot; the tempera-
ture being rarely down to 80 degrees, and
often reaching l20 degrees Hence, the
kernel does not attain much size before
it dries and hardens. In many parts of
Japan and the Sandwich Islands rice is
gro yn on the hillsides, so that the fields
have to do without irrigation; but along
large portions OF the Columbia valley
there would be little difficulty in getting
water-and an exceedingly good quality
of rice could be raised. Rice will grow
wherever wheat will grow, and it can be
harvested In the same way. At present
the highest priced rice is grown IN swampy
countries but Mr.. Sasaki believes that
improved methods of cultivation will do
much to develop the so-calIed upland
rice, and that Yakima county lands are
especially favorable for such development.
1t could be raised here IN large Quanti-
ties, and the cost would easily command
the home market for all but the highest
grade OF swamp rice. OF course the home
market would be the object to work for,
though the foreign demand might often
be great-as there are frequently serious
failures in the rice crops of China and
Japan. Two years ago there was an in
undation in Japan and the government
purchased $4,000, 900 worth of rice from
China-selling it to the people at cost.
Almost every year there is some trouble
with the crops in one of these countries,
and sometimes both.
Mr.. Sasaki also inclines to the belief
that both tea and silk could be produced
here in Yakima, the only drawback in
connection with the latter product being
the fact that it requires woman's care, or
that OF man with plenty OF time and
patience. Yakima will. perhaps, not
tempt fate immediately in the tea and
silk industries; but her farmers might do
worse than adopt Mr.. Sasaki's sugges-
tons as to rice.

POPPOURRI OF EVENTS
The Rapid Growth Of the Schools o.
Yakima County.
SOME VERY INTERESTING STATISTICS
Mrs. James stuart Says She is Very
Lively Corpse-Startiing Figures
ON the Crop Failures of the Middle
Western states.

The rapid growth OF the school interests
Of Yakima county is well illustrated by
the following paper prepared by Prof. j.
G. Lawrence, for several years county
school superintendent;
Perhaps there is no more certain indi.
cation of real and substantial growth OF
country than the advancement OF its
schools. With Yakima county this is
almost marvellous. A little over four
years ago the school census of the county
showed scarcely thousand names. The
last census showed nearly three thou
and, and more than half of this increase
has been within the past two years.
I'm June, 1890, there were six sub
stantial school buildings in the county
outside OF North Yakima. OF those three
were new and two of the others have
been so remodeled and improved that
they are not recognizable as the same
buildings. In June, 1890, five school
houses were supplied with patent desks,
but there was little apparatus. School
was held for about three months each
year. This was not from lack of spirit
of enterprise, but the scattered popula-
ton rendered it difficult to get enough
children in one locality to hold a school.
AT that time there were but 20 districts
in the county; but the stream OF immi-
grafton has poured in steadily, and the
measure of the people we have been re-
ceiving is shown by the public spirit
they have manifested.
"On January l, 1895, the school dis
tricts of Yakima county numbered 40
and the number of teachers required 90.
Besides there are two sectarian acad-
emies, both of which are well attended.
"In May, 1892. there was one school
house and about As children on the lands
under the Sunnyside canal. Today there
are nine districts and more than five
hundred children there.
''In June, 1890, the valuation of school
houses and groun DIS in Yakima county
was about $4,000. Today 1t is nearly
100000. Twenty-Five new school houses
of the most modern style OF architecture
have been built and $4,000 worth Of
furniture and school apparatus have bee n
placed therein, and school is conducted
from five to nine months year in each.
No one desiring to locate in Yakima need
hesitate through fear of the school privi-
leges. OF course no new country can
offer the advantages to be had in the
older settled communities, but certainly
for a county OF few years growth the
comparison is greatly in favor of this To-
cality. Yakima county is determined to
hold her place in the front rank of coun-
ties in the state in the cause of education
as well as all other Interests, and it is
known everywhere that Washington
stands well up among her sister states in
the number and rank of her educational
institutions.

A REVOLT.

Voters are coming out every day for
Evans that were expected by Rosson to
support him. In fact it has become an
open revolt and the election OF the doc
tor is no longer expected.
1t is recognized by everyone that the
Office of mayor will be a difficult one to
fill for the ensuing two years. It will
require man of energy, experience and
executive ability. 1t is not believed
that Rosson possesses these qualifca-
tions, while on the contrary Evans is
known to be eminently fitted for the
place.
The common people, those who de-
pend upon the city's prosperity for
their own livelihood, are also convinced
that their interests can best be sub
served by the election of Evans.
These are some of the reasons why
Rosson's expected supporters are now
strong in their support OF Evans.

NEW DANGERS DEVELOPED.

The Daily News OF Denver, has been
looking into the character of the female
voters and the manner of voting by
then at the last municipal election in
Denver and under which female SUI
frage was tried.
Its conclusions are by no means re-
assuring to the public or calculated to
boom the female suffrage movement.
1t seems to have been forgotten that
there is tough element in the other
sex and that in many cities and many
wards this clement constitutes the
balance of power. This Influence could
be easily outvoted by the respectable
women OF the city, but the News' con-
clusion is that the good women are like
many good men-they cannot be in.
duced to 60 to the polls. In this con-
nection the NeUs printed the following
account of the election in Denver:
"For some cause hundreds of respectable
women who were qualified stayed away from
the polls. On the other hand, another element
of the sex focked to the polls and deposited
their ballots. These were the vicious and
criminal classes. They had not as much per-
sonal interest in the contest as the respectable
women, but it is said they were under the in
fuence of the police who ordered them to the
polls, where they voted under the direction of
ward heelers. In some wards this vicious vote
| is said to have decided the result"
The incident gives new phase to the
question and shows how important it is
that the right of suffrage be limited or
that the demand for it ehall come so
strongly from the other sex that there
will be guaranty of full vote. Other
wise it would but be adding another
weapon to those already welded by
the ward heelers and corrupt rings
in cities, who by intimidation and
threats would have little difficulty in
certain wards of every city in increas.

hundred in some instances.

ANOTHER INSULT.

DENVER MINING EXPOSITION.

DENVER MINING EXPOSITION.
In 1880 Denver conceived the idea of
a mineral exposition, erecting a large
building through stock subscriptions
and calling upon. all the miners in
Colorado, Utah, New Mexico, Wyo-
ming, Idaho, Montana and Arizona to
fill it.
Being the first enterprise of the kind
ever. attempted in the Uuited States, it
was success, as the miners responded
promptly and the exhibit was splendid.
1t opened the eyes of the world to the
mineral resources of the central Rocky
mountain country and was the
means of securing the investment
of large capital in the mines, and it also
made Denver one of the most beautiful
and prosperous cities in America.
Profting by its early experience,
Denver is again inaugurating an expo
sition OF the same character, and is in
viting its neighbors to contribute and
participate. With the continued ad-
vance in silver and the increasing in
terest that is at present being taken in
the mining of all the metals, this should
Arizona republican., 1895-04-28

insure one of the largest displays of
minerals ever seen in the country.
The Colorado mines being the first to
experience the return of prosperity, the
citizens of Denver will be in condition
financially to carry out their second ex.
position on a scale that will reflect
credit upon their enterprise and fore
sight.

PECK AND DENNIS.

Frank Peck and John Dennis make
team hard to beat and their election to
the city council will cause that to be a
very strong body for the ensuing two
years.
Mr.. Peck is recognized as one of the
brightest young business men in the
city, in every way qualified to fill a
place in the city council-in fact it is
just such men as Mr.. Peck who ought to
be encouraged to accept positions of
this character. His value at this time
is inestimable.
Mr.. Dennis everyone knows as a safe
man. He has,resided in Phoenix for a
long time and his election will mingle
the old with the new in such a manner
as to obtain the best results and the
best service to the city.
The voters will make no mistake in
electing Frank Peck and John Dennis.

will soon be an era of prosperity.
