TEN THOUSAND DOLLARS.
In the Improvement Of the Selah Valley
Canal Property.

That Is the Amount that viii Be Expended
In the Improvement of the Selah Valley
Canal Property.
No section OF Yakima county has
advanced more rapidly and stably during
the past two years than the country
under the Selah canal There have been
a surprising number of new settlers of
the very best character. They are
close and intelligent farmers and make
every hour and every acre source of
profit. Their crops have been remark
ably good and the prices satisfactory,
and in potatoes especially have they won
renown and increased their store of
worldly goods. Two of the great lumber
companies on the Sound have stated
that they were willing to pay 81
more per ton for the Selah potatoes
than any others grown on this side
of the mountains, and the crop OF
"Murphys" in that district is as heavy
as it is sure. 1t is one of the best potato
growing sections in a county which is
famed throughout the Northwest for
yakima Burbanks," which are separ-
ately quoted and rule the highest in all
the market reports.
So heavy have become the shipments
from this comparatively new region that
the railroad company has promised a
station at the Wenas spur, and arrange
ments have been made for a large ware
house there.
The Selah Valley Company, in view of
its heavy sales of lands and prospects Of
still greater settlement and improve
ments under the canal, has authorized
its attorney and local manager, Hon. Ira
p. Englehart, to invest SIC, 000in enlarge
ing and remodeling this artery so as to
give ample water service to all. The
work will be started early in January
and be completed in time to turn in the
water as soon as it will be needed. This
action OF the company not only means
the direct expenditure of $4,000 for
labor and lumber, but it means new
settlers, new lands brought under culti-
walton, an increase OF products for ship
ment and an enhancement of the
material and taxable wealth of Yakima
county, which can well be called the
''banner' one of the state. as its per-
centage of increase in population, as
shown by the recent census report, is
greater than that of any other, while its
present growth overshadows the past,
and the prospects for the future never
were as bright. The prediction of Paul
Schulze that many years would not
pass before Yakima county supported a
population of 10000 people and was
the most thrifty section of Washington,
seem not entirely without reason.
The Yakima herald. [volume] (North Yakima, W.T. [Wash.]) 1889-1914, 1900-12-27

will again start in on the other and
bigger undertaking with the assurance
that ample funds will be forthcoming.
THE HERALD hopes this report is true,
for there could hardly be an undertaking
which would prove Of SO much value to
North Yakima and to the county and
the state. 1t is one of the best Of all the
irrigation schemes and Irrigation is
King.

Cloud, on April 10th, 1861. Though

Use q Tank Heater.

All owners of wind mills have water
ing tanks for their stock. But most
of them let it go at that. Therein
they err. / made that mistake for
many years. but two years ago I
bought tank heater from M Frando-
viz, here in Fergus Falls. 1t costs but
little and works well. 1t takes only
q few chips or small sticks to heat q
big tank of water, and it saves the
stock from the suffering caused by
drinking cold water. Buy q tank
heater and your stock will thrive
better.-H. E. Boon In Fergus Falls
Globe.
There Is no question as to the value
of these tanks. They save feed, as the
stock do not have to consume tito take
he chill OF the water after drinking
it, and will increase the flow of milk,
as the COWS will driTk more freely.
How Bros. & Co., keep them.

Spending and Saving.

Whether in college or in business,
whether the young man il making
three dollars q week or three dol
lars an hour, he should make IT
the fundamental business OF his life
to see that large part of his salary
is saved. To spend ten thousand dol
lars q year no doubt is delightful
sensation to young man, but II he is
only making ten thousand the delight
of spending it will sooner Dr. later be
dearly paid for. In the end, the man
who makes thousand and saves two
hundred and fifty will get vastly more
out OF life. Russell Sage IN Saturday
Evening" Post.

is hardly possible for farmer to
lose or nearly lose one crop out
of six and prosper. He should
then turn his attention to some
things to fortify him against the
great and disastrous loss of this
one crop. The way to do that is
to grow stock-especially cattle,
hogs and sheep, in the order emu

THE TRUSTS AND FARMERS.

The trusts combined and raised
the price of nearly every COM
mercial commodity, and with the
aid of protective tariff, got great
profits out of the laboring classes
and bled the consumers, mainly
farmers.
The only prices to fall were
those on farm products. The
year book of the department of
Agriculture for 1899, which has
recently been issued, shows that
the farm products and farm ali.
mails in 1899, although vastly in
creased in quantity since 1890,
had fallen off in value to the ex
tent of 706,969,97l. This only
counts as farm products corn and
wheat, oats, barley, rye, buck
wheat, potatoes, hay and cotton.
If the farm products of 1899 had
brought the same prices as did
tho SAME products iii 1896. they
would have brought more than
they did by the sum of $780,
437,5S4.

Was lost during a race riot in that

states "We would like to ask
for law to be enacted to this
effect, that should any State be
found guilty of mob law and
lynching it be expelled from the
Union. The blacks then could
evacuate and all the negro haters
could have a State of their own,
wherein they need not see a black
face. Thus we solve the negro

MINISTERING TO CHRIST.
C1nasmuch as Yc Did it Not to one of the

Rapt in reverie by the ireside,
While winter winds whistle without:
Borne swiftly along on mcmory's tide
Oblivious OF ali that's about.
Far away In tho past am roG aiming,
Under the trees o the green,
And here as sit in the cleaning,
Only one image is seen.
IT'S that OF my dear loving mother,
Come as Of yore At the night
To adjust some difference with brother
To point us in paths of the right.
Into the fire l am gazing
With eyes that arc riveted fast,
But see only these words brightly blazing,
Out OF the undimcd past
Why SIT ye here ldlr dreaming,
All this dark winter night
Up and away ere tho break OF day,
Lending some soul to the light.
Out in the s:orm so fierce and wild,
Out on the streets all unshrivcn,
Out in the sleet is a wayward child
That's worthy Of love and home and
heaven.
Then on your way the vision cried
For Love hath said all tenderly,-
Before Hate, him had CruciHed
Forbid them not TO come unto me "
Then vision gently took its flight,
And left alone, sat and stared
Into the bleak, drear black night;
Then in my passive soul there glared.
This truth-dauy wo pass the dear Re.

For him--fail TO minister
