THE MARKETS
MRS. LANNIN.

Yakima fruit, and other produce con
tinue in excellent demand, and the rush
among the railroad and commission men
continues undated Dealers say the
prices quoted in last weeks Herald con-
tinue in force today. The Horticultural
Union reports having already shipped
81 carloads of mixed fruits, besides an
enormous quantity of smaller orders to
dealers along the line; and other prod
uce handlers report business in the same
proportion. A ear OF grapes will be
shipped by the Union tomorrow.
Several cars of the new crop of pota-
toes have been sent out, but the spuds
have not yet arrived at a perfect state.
and have to be carefully looked over be-
fore shipping. The prices quoted are
from SIS to Sl7 per ton.
Hay continues to arrive from the sur
rounding valley in large quantities. said

The matter of the extension of the
franchises of the Yakima Water, Light
and Power company is pending, and it
is one of much interest to the people of
the town, as we'll as TO the company.
The companys position Is substantially
that it is expected as the town grows
that it will continue to invest money in
the extension of its plant, and if it does
so without any assurance that it can
secure the extension, it will find itself
at the end the present charter with a
large amount of money invested and no
opportunity to get it back. 1t ought to
be understood that at the expiration of
its time, the company will have no au-
thority to continue to do business. 1t
would seem, therefore, to be a matter
of ordinary prudence for it to be con
sidering now the ultimate result of con-
tinued investment without assurance of
continuance of its right to do business.
The ordinances introduced are sub
stantial copies of the old ordinances.
The city is now paying $4,000 for fire
protection. which amount does not in
crease with the growth of the town. The
contract is continued under the new or
dlnance at the same rate until the eX-
piration of the present franchise. and
afterwards. if the population of the
town does not exceed 10000. After that
an increase is provided for in a sliding
scale. depending on the population. 1t
has been suggested by Il good many that
rental. making it entirely optional with
the city whether it takes any additional
hydrants.
1t occurs to the Herald that it is
worth something to the city to have the
assurance of fire protection, and if a
reasonable arrangement can be made
with the company. it ought to be bound
to furnish it. The company contends
that its heaviest expense and greatest
liability and burden is on account of
the furnishing of fire protection. In
case it should fail. and building should
burn down. it would be liable in dam
ages. To keep the fire protection al
ways available demands continuing
outlay to keep the capacity of its
pumping plant up to the required eff
cheney. 1t started with two pumps and
now has four. Another will have to be
added next year.
Whatever be the result, the Herald
suggests that a reasonable arrangement
be entered into in a spirit of fairness
to both sides. 1t is but fair to say that
the company has certainly shown its
good faith within the last two OF three
years in the improvement ana extension
of the plant.

Sunnyside and the State Fair.


Let Sunnyside have a day, or two or
three of them, at the state fair. She
is not as big as Seattle, or even Tacoma,
but she is growing all right. And we
owe it to ourselves to give the fair all
the assistance we can; besides the fair
commission deserve big patronage.
They are generously giving both time
and money in the interests of the peo-
pie. Show your appreciation by getting
up fine exhibit, and let the people turn
out en- masse, from Prosser to Parker,
and have day together at the fair.
Get better acquainted; talk over the
railroad the sugar beet industry, and
incidentally, the grand prospects of our
country. We would suggest Thursday,
October LIST, as the big day for this
lower country. Let us make it the larg
est delegation in the record of the fair.
We have been trying for two weeks to
get this proposition before the people;
but we believe it is not yet too late to
work up an interest.
1t makes no difference how large the
appropriation or how hard the commits
sioners work to make the fair a success,
or how fine the exhibits. if the ever
changing Kaleidoscope of humanity

as the most profitable feature, is absent

that the Washington Irrigation Com

and alfalfa and add another link to our
general prosperity.

MAKING RAPID PROGRESS.
Work On The State Buildings
Is Nearing Completion
Busy Scenes.

Work on the new State buildings. after
suffering many vexatious delays, is now
progressing most satisfactorily, and the
contractors say that both structures will
be completed on time.
This announcement, is especially inter
esiing. in view OF the predictions recently
made by several State officials and others
that the annex to the State House would
certainly not be finished in time for the
next session OF the Legislature. Progress
on this building has been repeatedly in
terTupted on account OF strikes of brick
layers and difficulty in getting material.
The present stage OF construction is
still considerably behind what the plans
contemplated would have been II accom-
plished by this time. The contractors,
however, are putting forth extra efforts
TO iuihil their part OF the contract, and
the State House presents a scene OF un-
precedented activity. The exterior Of the
annex building is almost completed up TO
the root. and the marble copings have
been pu. around the top OF second story.
Inside the building, the iron girders
used 10 support and strengthen the same,
have been set up, while at the end OF the
long corridor leading from the lobby OF
the old State House and facing out on
the new Court Of Appeals building. the
massive marble pillars have been put in
place.
As the annex nears completion its incon-
gruity in appearance TO the original build
ing bscomes marked. although the general
opinion seems still to prevail that it will
greatly deiract from the Colonial beauty
and dignity of that stately old structure.
The magnificent building on the Oppo.
site side OF State Circle, which contains
the new quarters OF the Court Of Appeals,
Comptroller and Tax Commissioner, is
almost completed. only the finishing
touches yet remaining to be done.

THE OYSTER INDUSTRY.
Oyster Grounds Worth More
Than Farm Lands of
The State.

As 20 the benefits which would come
10 Maryland by the cultivation OF oysters,
Professor Brooks, the greatest authority
on the subject. says: :
"The oyster bottoms Of our State are OF
greater value than the dry land and they
will some day support great and pros !
porous population. Their value in the
past has been inconsiderable as compared
with their possible value in the future,
f,r. while the oyster fishermen have
never earned much more than s., COO 600
year. IL Is no exaggeraticn 10 state that
hat our grounds are capable OF yielding
millions OF dollars annually.
The adoption by our people Of meas
ures which are already employed with
advantage by other communities would
Increase the wealth and prosperity OF
Maryland almost beyond computation.
and would add TO the value and fertility
OF our oyster grounds in the same way
that our farming lands have increased
in value since the time they we're un-
cultivated hunting grounds.
Il is a hard saying that the oyster
grounds belonging to the State are worth
more than the farms, for the farms OF
MaTyla produce $50. .ooo, 900 a year
But that which Professor Brooks says are
words Of soberness and truth is shown by
what has been accomplished in those
sta:es and countries where enlightened
methods have been adopted. Many
efforts have been made in the past to
develop the oyster industry. The number
of bushels Of oysters used in Baltimore
has decreased from 6.773 900 in 1885
to 1, ,o06. 900 in Iooo-oI and the promise
is for the speedy extinction Of q great
industry in the State OF Maryland.
