Yakima's Dairy and Sugar Interests.

The following Interesting interview APP
pears in the Spokesman-Review March
9th:
ID. NJ. Shanks, the Hazelwood com
panys representative at North Yakima,
is in the city. The report that an eastern
company with large capital was planning
the erection of beet sugar factory at or
near North Yakima has been practically
confirmed by the statement from reliable
sources that the company has secured
the ase of 5000 acres of land on the Yak
ina Indian reservation to be let out to
small farmers for the production OF sugar
beets. The amount OF money that this
company is prepared to invest in the
enterprise is said to be 100000. 1t is
said that the company have chosen a
site below the old town few miles from
the present center.
"The enterprise seems to be sure
thing" said Mr.. Shanks yesterday, land
our people are delighted, as it will mean
a great thing for the district in many
ways. 1t is understood that the farmers
will be asked to take up leases OF as much
of the land as they will contract 10 han
die, the company giving its guarantee to
buy all beets at a certain price, reported
to be $3.50 ton. The establishment OF
a beet sugar factory in the district will
give great impetus to dairying, as the
refuse part of the beet is now firmly es-
tablshed as standard fodder and it's
cheapness will greatly aid the cheap pro-
duction OF milk.
1.-The dairying industry is growing rap
idly in the Yakima district. 1t is esti-
mated that at the present rate it will
mean the disbursement to the producers
of 500, 900 year. Our company alone
spends $4,000 q month for milk The
abundance of alfalfa makes the section
as nearly perfect for dairying as can well

Of carrying the county, state and nation.
One enthusiast was heard to exclaim
when the news of the Seattle election
reached here, "As goes Seattle so goes
the nation"
For sheriff Messrs. Paul, Dillev, Hare
and the present incumbent are spoken of,
though neither is pushing himself. John
Rudkin, present incumbent, and w. P.
Guthrie are mentioned for prosecuting
attorney. For auditor, E. E. Kelso.
present incumbent, and f. G. Hall, ex-
auditor, are being pushed by their re-
spect,ve friends. No one is spoken Of
against Treasurer Dudley, nor County
Clerk Allen. Prof. Mcbride seems to be
the only one alluded to for the county
superintendent. The county assessor,
r. Scott, has no competitor, as yet. The
county commissioners are in the same
boat.
For the judgeship Frank Rudkin and
Col. Hewlett are the only ones mention,
ed thus far for the nomination in
Yakima county, but it is under
stood that Kauffman's friends in Kittitas
will dispote the representation of the
two counties in the state convention.
Kittitas representation was cut down on
account of the detaching of Wenatchee
from the county. As it stands now Kit
ttas has twelve to Yakima's thirteen
delegates and Franklin, the remaining
county of the judicial district, having
two delegates.

that the change will be made satisfactory

THE POWDER EXPLOSION
Details of the MiShap at Bayboro-A
Serious Affair, But Might Have Been
Worse.

The powder explosion which occurred
Wednesday night al Bayboro in the
store of J. R. Rice & Bro, which
night, was ais serious as at first indi-
Gated and only a very narrow scape
was had from a disaster.
Messrs. H. w. Cowel1, J. w. Rice and
NJ. L. Balance We're in the store at the
time and powder was being weighed
out into THE scales. Two powder kegs
stood on the counter and 1919 pounds
were put in the pan when one OF those
present struck a match, and according
to accounts, threw it on the floor. Some
of HE powder had fallen there and was
ignited and flashed up into the scales
pan, the contents of which exploded
with terrific force. Strange to say, the
powder i'm the open key did not explode,
and had it lone so four ives would I'M
~doubtedly have been lost. The two
kegs We're blown from the counter.
The explosion shattered everythiT
in the store, including a large amount
of crockery all of which was broken.
The floor was broker through and a
hole through the side of the building
and all the window glas broken out.
The wallis were cracked in every direc-
ton. The telephone exchange is in the
second story n the young lady Oper-
ator was thrown from her chair by the
force of the explosion but not seriously
injured. The report brought people
from all around, it being very loud a
mile distant.
The most serious part was the injury
to the three men in the store at the
time. Their hurts may not prove last
ing but are both severe and painful,
being burns about the face. Mr.. Rice
and Mr.. Cowell suffered the most,
their faces being rendered completely
black by the powder and badly burned
and their hair crisped and scorched by
the blaze, They were placed
care of a physician at once. Severe
swelling followed and it is hoped that
the eyesight has not suffered although
the Inflammation closed the eyes. Mr..
Balance suffered somewhat less. They
described their sensations as being that
their heads were blown partly off.
CARPENTERS were nut to work AT once
upon the building to repair the dam
age. The destruction Of property Is put
