Examining Corporation Reports.

Auditor Dixon is hard at work exam
lining the reports and appraiser of prop
erty for taxation of the domestic cor
porations of the State. There are some
| 500 or these companies. DR.. Dixon says
that some of them have been very lib
eral il their appraiser, while others have
been evidently trying to escape taxation.
The reports of these latter will have
to be returned. 1t is expected that all
of the papers can be examined by August
1st or 18th, by hard work.

WILL ADVERTISE
WASHINGTON RESOURCES
Secretary Moore of the Puget Sound
Bureau of Information to Be
Here Fair Week.

During the week of the state Fair, the
Puget Sound Bureau of Information will
have general exhibit in the pavilion,
with samples of horticulture and agri-
culture from various sections of the
state. Secretary Moore will be in
charge, and his purpose will be to ad-
vertise the various sections represented
at the fair, disseminating their litera-
ture, reinforced with samples OF TIE
products shown. He will have an ele-
CANT booth at the eastern entrance to
the pavilion where, with his assistants,
he will give out general information re-
garding the state and its marvellous re-
sources, with more particular reference
to the subject of irrigation and its pro-
ducts.
Secretary Moore is little late in his
arrangements, having been delayed by
accidents on the railroad, in an attempt
to get here last week, but he hopes,
with the aid of local horticulturists, to
make a creditable display for the Yak
ina valley, and hopes to meet inter
ested ranchers at the Yakima hotel any
day or evening this week.
Mr.. Moore will be well supplied with
irrigation literature, but hopes to have
more representing the different districts
to be represented at the fair. He de-
sires liberal quantities OF general farm
products, especially fruit melons,
grapes etc. from this valley, as well as
from other sections, and will be pleased
to meet any interested, or talk with
them by phone, at the Yakima hotel.
While the principal purpose of the
bureau is to talk irrigation, the general
subject OF agriculture and horticulture
will not be neglected. The work of the
bureau--a Seattle institution-will be
absolutely free, its work being in ad-
vertising the State of Washington and
its wonderful resources.

Surveying Party Returns.

f. II. Marble and party returned Sun
day from Klickitat county, where they
have been the past two weeks, survey
ing permanent county road. The road
is being arranged for between the
counties OF Yakima and Klickitat to the
Mount Adams district and Glenwood.
There will be new bridge built across
the Klickitat the people of the district
agreeing to pay for the same, providing
the two counties would survey perma-
nent road. This will open up fine
grazing country.

THE STATE FAIR WILL
OPEN MONDAY, SEPT. 29
A Big Display of the Resources of
the State Assured Other
Attractions.

The machinery OF the State Fair is
running smoothly and by the first of
next week the big institution will be
ready for inspection bv the people of
this valley and the rest of the state.
That Il will be the best fair ever held
here is conceded by everybody who
knows anything about the work that
has been done by the board tn make it
success. That 1t will be better fair
than that Of any previous year is not
idle talk. Just one thing is conclusive
evidence OF the promised success and
that is the unprecedented demand for
space to make displays. This is an ele-
ment within itself that should not be
overlooked by those who may doubt the
above assertion, and may be taken as a
criterion OF the future popularity OF the
State Fair.
There is one other thing that will dis
prove the discouraging idea OF the sker-
teal and that is the great number of at
fractions on the grounds and the mag
nificent displays of fruits and other
products Of the soil from other parts OF
the state. Machinery hall will be filed

SEATTLE TIMES PRINTS
ANALYSIS Of WATER
Also an Interview With Mayor Fcct-
ter Relative to Water Sup
ply of North Yakima.

The Times has at last been kind
enough to publish through the columns
OF their paper an article complimentary
to the water system of the city. Mayor
/ Fechter was interviewed by the Times
correspondent in regard to the report OF
Chemist Fasset who analysed the n.y.
drant water, and also concerning the
general health of the city at the present
time. Referring to this interview the
mayor said:
"This report states distinctly that our
water supply is very high grade, better
than the average. If such is not the
case, it is reasonable to suppose that the
water supply of nearly every city in the
state, the majority of which derive their
water from mountain streams, is of the
same character as ours, at least is no
better
GAS has been stated, the current of
the Natchez river is very rapid; its
sources are on the very summit OF the
range, in mountain lakes, ice caves and
glaciers. During at least ten months of
the year the water is very cold and is
always clear and colorless; at no time is
there any evidence to the eye of any So
luton of sodium or magnesia or other
mineral matter. | presume that it is
true that the water of streams or lakes
contains certain proportion of organic
matter. | have never heard, however,
that the water of mountain streams is
worse in this respect than water derived
from other sources, and it is we'll
known fact that rapidly flowing water
especially when it is flowing through
gravel beds, purifes itself in the course
OF very short distance. Ills also true
that along the entire coarse OF the
Natchez river there is no source of con-
tamination whatever.
"The general health of this city is to-
day as good as that of any city in the
state; we have had in the past an cpl
demic of fever here, due largely to the
very considerable development that is
taking place in the way of breaking and
irrigating and cultivating new lands and
to the extraordinarily large influx of
people that has occurred here during the
past few years in the way of immigra-
ton and of labor during the fruit and
hop-picking season. A large portion of
these people live in tents during at least
part of each summer under conditions
that are not sanitary to say the least,
and it is not strange that under such cir
cumstances there should be some sick
ness. The city is l think, as has been
shown, supplied with excellent water,
has sewer system which is about to be
extended to the outlying districts and in
every respect its sanitary conditions are
of the very best

Sunday-SShoOl Workers.

Mrs Mary Foster Bryner, Of Illinois,
interstate field worker, and Rev. W,
c. Merritt, OF Tacoma, state field work
er, have made fifty appointments in
thirty counties of this state, in the in
terests OF sunday school work They
will speak in North Yakima, sunday,

Yakima's First Judge

Judge }. Il. Lewis OF san Jose, Calf.
was in the city last Saturday and Su n
day. The judge was one of the pioneers
of this county and held the first court at
Yakima City in 1872. Mr. Lewis was
on his way to Chicago on a business
trip.

and even at this late date the commits
sion is compelled to erect extra space
for the home people to make displays.
Heretofore it has always been an impos-
sibility to get anyone to make an ex-
hibit in machinery hall, but it is no
trouble this year. Besides the extra
space that will be prepared for this de-
partment by the commission, the Yaki-
ma Hardware company will erect a
30x40 building for their own especial use
There are several hundred new stalls
under way for the extra herds of live
stock that will be here from the Oregon
breeders, besides those that will be
necessary to house Washington's own
stOckmen making an exhibit. In this
department there will be seen the finest
lot OF blooded cattle and sheep ever
brought into the state at one time, and
among the lot to be brought from Ore
gon will be number of young Brown
Swiss, Holstein and AYRSHIRE bulls.
These will be sold at low figure to in
troduce this new blood among the dairy
stock of the Yakima and Kittitas valleys.
There will be \ lot of fine horses up
for sale at the grounds. These will be
thoroughbreds and drafts and will be
sold cheap. Besides there will be an ex-
ira number of birds in display in the
poultry department, and among the
sheep will be the best in the land.
Among the attractions on the grounds
aside from the horse racing will be bal
loon ascension each dav by Prof. Bald
win. He was here last year and his
marvellous aerial flights delighted and
awed all those who saw him. There
will be band contest which will give
plenty of music, and on Thursday, Oct.
?, the Odd Fellows of the city and state
will be on hand to render specially ar
ranged program aside from that to be
carried out by the fair association.
There will be numerous shows, and a
fat man. race will be one of the attrac-
tions of the race course.
Liz iHuldlS VIII give Il war dance Dc-
sides number of pony and squaw races.
This will be of interest to the newcomer
from the east as we'll as the home
people.
J. Walden, the well known fruit raiser
of Zillah, has been given charge of the
pavilion, with the exception of the
woman's department. He is thorough
" familiar with his department as he
has been with the fair for several years
past as superintendent of the fruit dis
plays.
Let everybody turn out and help make
a fine display of fruit and show the Wis
itors what can be raised in this valley.
The excursions to be run from Tacoma
and Seattle next Tuesday and Wednes-
day will bring large number of people
to the fair and to accommodate these Wis
tors will necessitate the assistance of
everybody in the city. Rooms will be
required and all those who have them to
let on this occasion, are requested to
leave their names and street numbers
with H. B. Doust, city clerk.
