About the City's Milk.

The City Health Officer has been quiet
ly investigating the quality of the milk
furnished to the residents of North
Yakima, and Mr.. Mcdonald, the pure
food commissioner has been here for
some days. The result has been most
gratifying to the commissioner, in fact
he states that the quality of the milk
is away above the average, as the fol-
lowing figures will show. Samples of
milk from three different sources on
different days showed percentage of
AZ butter fat or IL above the required
percentage, while the cream obtained in
the same way showed a percentage of
butter fat running all the way from
% to 81 IL per cent or from to 10 l-2
per cent above the required percentage.
The commissioner made an unexpected
visit to the dairy and found nothing
there that could be used to adulterate
the product. The city health officer was
prompted to cause this investigation up
on the complaints of several citizens
who thought some adulteration was be-
ing practiced, and the above investiga-
ton was directed particularly to the
Springvale dairy, the proprietors of
which are now removed from all sus-
picion and moreover received the con-
CALCULATIONS of the commissioner for
the excellent showing their product ex-
hibited. 29tf

WHAT PEOPLE SAY.

Mrs. G. W. Cary-While in Portland I
had an excellent opportunity of study
ing the changes in the styles in ladies'
millinery. The styles this season are
very striking and pleasing, especially in
pattern hats. II would be hard to con
ceive of anything more sensible and at
the same time catchy and striking than
this seasons creations, and l believe the
feminine wearers of headgear will agree
with me when they have had an oppor-
tunity of looking them over.

many have the idea that they must

not get along with less, and at the price
of from 800 to 5000 an acres are afraid
to venture. Their own improved farms
are worth from $40 to $40 per acre. and
they can not see why land should be

Jas. L. Boyer-North Yakima has
taken a prominent place among the mp
..o-date cities in the evergreen state. i
came through this way fifteen year ago,
and these wasn't water enough in the
whole of the valley to ''liquidate dis
gust" except in few cases. My opin-
ion is that the man who ''pins his faith"
in the richness of Yakima county soil
and attends to business, will have no
reason to regret the years he spends in
this part. They have got their own lit
tie Tanana district right here. Another
thing of interest is the numbers of new
dwellings now in course of erection. This
evidence goes to show that North Yaki-
ma is the "city of homes" and fine ones,
too. Nothing could be better adver-
tisement for your county than your
fruit exhibit at Seattle during the
Trans Mississippi Congress. You had
something to make the southerners talk
about when they got back home. Your
merchants are enterprising. They do
business on business principles, sell
goods on their merits, are good adver-
tisers-an important item, by the way
and are not always running down
their competitors. The attendance at
your state fair from Oregon this year
will break the record.

Writing from the Arkansas valley, w.
+. Crowley says: THE fruit and farm
papers east and west are raising great
cry against the Ben Davis apple The
reason is that this has been hard sea
son on apples everywhere with more
drought. winds and insects than usual,
and of course the Ben Davis has out
lasted every other variety and produced
an enormous crop. Most apple buyers
have bought all the Ben Davis apples
they desire. usually four or five times
as many as of any other variety, and
consequently are looking for other
kinds The Ben Davis is bringing only
from 30 to - per cent as much on the
market as the choicer kinds. and this
leads trade journals to think the Ben
Davis has been greatly OVerplanted and
that its days of profitable bearing are
over. They do not stop to consider that
the Ben Davis can be produced for one
half as much as any of the ordinary
fancy apples and that, Notwithstanding
its poor quality. it does actually outsell
any other one variety taken through
the entire season. 1t keeps well, ships
well and looks well. and the tree thrives
better than any other and produces a
full crop more years of its lifetime
than any other. - Denver Field and

STATE LIBRARY.

The state library has been greatly ex
tended and developed during the past two
years The section OF It's work which Is
evidently OF the greatest interest to the
public Is that connected with the travelling
libraries. There are now eighty of these
libraries In active use, or -four thousand
volumes, and the records returned to the
nually afford entertainment and instruction
to over forty thousand readers. They are
increasing in use in the small towns and
neighhorhoods. and even In the lumber
camps. They are sought after by high
schools. and prove very helpful to study
clubs and oranges. There are over one
thousand institutions and organizations OF
fifty thousand readers, which have right
to demand the use of these Libraries, or of
any single volume that can safely he
loaned from che state library.
There can be little doubt that the num-
Der Of these libraries must be doubled with
in the next few years to meet the demand
that now exists for them, unless the legis-
place some limitation upon the use of the
state library In educating the people, and
shall restrict within more narrow limits the
books that may be loaned.
Not only has this section Of the library
work been largely increased, but the ex-

has nearly doubled within the last three
