The Farmer and Good Roads.

New Jersey is the most progressive
state in the Union in the construction
and care of its wagon roads, and there
fore the estimate of her road commits
sioner of the saving effected in that
state by good roads may be regarded as
accurate, because he has unusual OPP
portunities for observing the difference
in the utility of an improved and neg
lected road. His estimate is in sub
stance as follows: 1t cost nine and
one-half cents per bushel to ship wheat
from Chicago to New York, distance
of 900 miles; it cost three cents bushel
to haul wheat on level road distance
of five miles, and on sandy road it
would cost nine cents to haul it. The
saving on bushel of wheat with good
roads for distance of five miles would
be equivalent to that 600 miles of trans
portation by steamer or canal boat, or
375 miles by railroad. One mile OF
good roads would make saving equal
to rs miles by rail nearer to the mar
kets. 1t is estimated that the cost Of
hauling $500, 900, 900 tons Of farm pro-
duce to markets is SO per ton, or just
about $1,000, 100000; it is estimated
that about 60 per cent of this last
amount, or $6OO,OOO,OO, would be saved
each year if farmers were able to do
this hauling over good roads.-The

A Judge Talks to BOYS.

Judge Wofford, of Kansas City, in
recent address to boys, gave advice
which, If needed, would seen revolu-
tionize the country. 1t should be read
to every boy in the United States;
81 have been on the bench fourteen
years and during that time thousands
OF boys have been brought before me,
but not one of them was constant
attendant at church or Sunday school
or obedient TO his father or mother,
81 have inquired of many boys what
caused them to get into trouble and
have found that in most instances,
staying away from school and home,
playing pool, hanging around saloons
and cigarette smoking are responsible.
Start right, boys. To be anybody,
to accomplish anything for yourself or
the community you cannot be idle.
Don't drink-liquor destroys the mind
and body. 1t is low and vulgar. Don't
swear gentlemen don't swear. Don't
read trashy literature. 1t leads to the
devil. Don't hang around saloons.
Good men are not made that way.
Whenever you see man lying around
saloon the devil Is after him and will
get him sooner or later. Benjamin
Franklin would never have accom-
plished anything if he had been guilty
Of these practices. Be honest above
oil things. Poor boys make the best
future citizens.
'"TO make good man You must be
agood boy. So starlight. The grave
yards are filled with those who started
wrong. The world is growing better.
The teachings of Christ are beginning
to be felt. Let me impress upon you
the only royal road to success is by
living right life. Be honest, indus
trious, frugal. 1t is not necessary to
be sanctimonious-to wear a long face.
Keep laughing. Have a. good time as
you go through life, but let it be the
right sort of a good time. If we were
all angels the world not be fit TO
live in"

PURE FOOD
Pore Whiskey and the Bad
Effects of Impure Whiskey.

Unless the rectifiers are too strong,
the present session OF Congress is 60
ing to pass Pure Food" bill, and
include whiskey. If they do, and these
retifiers are forced to put the cross
bones and skull on their product, no
man will be foolish enough to buy it,
although they do now, and some with
the knowledge that it is not the genu-
inc article.
Who is to blame for the sale of this
poisonous stuff? None, but the con-
sumner himself. There are two reasons
for this Some want whiskey that
tastes pleasant; others want it cheap.
To the first, they should know that 100
per cent. is standard for pure liquor,
and that 100 per cont. or proof whiskey
will not drink as pleasant as water.
The Indians callit Fire Water" This
was before our forefathers knew any
thing about the new way of making
imitation whiskey. 1t was all pure
then, consequently it was all hot, so it
is today when it is pure. To the Sec
ond, the tax of 81. 90 on every gallon Of
100 per cent. alcohol is alone sufficient
to make any whiskey cost more than
some want to pay tor it, and when
whiskey is sold cheap it is sold mean,
that is when it is sold below the posi-
BILE cost of production.
Whiskey bought at 100 per cent. al
cohol may be too strong for most peo-
pie, but they always have the privilege
in buying pure whiskey of adding
water TO suit their taste, and not pay
ing from so to SO for water, which is
usually plentiful most everywhere.

POTATO CROP BEST IN YEARS.

In view of the facts stated in the fol-
lowing article, from the American Ag-
riculturist, the prices that Yakima grow
ers have received for their potatoes this
season have not been low, or at least they
have been no lower than might have been
expected. Yakima's potato yield de-
ponds mostly upon the acreage, and an
of year throughout the other portions
of the United States means greater re-
turns to the growers of this section
The Agriculturist says:
Development of rot in the important
potato producing states. Wisconsin
Michigan and New York, has cut into
the crop somewhat. Returns make the
potato crop of the United States in 1904
approximately 2ss,7Oo,OOo bushels, and
in 1902 the crop was 255 100000 bush
els. The quality is generally good, al
though there are complaints of rather
The Yakima herald. [volume] (North Yakima, W.T. [Wash.]) 1889-1914, 1905-02-08

large, coarse tubers from few sections.
The authority named states that the in.
crease in the heavy producing sections
of the northwest compared with last
year is very marked. Michigan, Wis
cousin, Iowa and Minnesota together
showed something like 24,OOOOOO bush
els more potatoes than in 1908. New
York SHOWS up with much the same crop
as last year, taking the recent develop
ment into account, and Pennsylvania
and Ohio show slight increase. The
gain in New England over 1908 is sub
stantial, owing chiefly to the splendid
crop produced in Northern Maine. TAX
ing the country at large, the average
rate of yield per acre seems to be some
thing like ten bushels per acre heavier
than year ago.

IRRIGATION BILL As
FINALLY AGREED UPON
Meets With the Approval of the Gov
eminent Engineers-Commission's
Bill is Shelved.

The committee appointed by President
Larson of the Commercial Club to con-
fer with the representatives OF this
county and others interested in irrlSa'
ton laws at Olympia met and had sew
eral conferences with the parties in
question there. There was manifest in
clination on the part of the government
engineers who are in Olympia to favor
the bill recommended by the mass meet
ing held here, which is known as the
Preble or substitute bill, with certain
notifications. Mr.. Noble and other
representatives of the government took
from it the sections they believed to be
the most beneficial, and with them as a
basis, drew up the following bill, which
was approved by a majority of the del
egation from this county, and which is
in effect the bill that will be introduced
in the legislature during the present
session. After it was agreed upon, Il
shorter bill was also prepared and it will
be introduced in connection with the
other. The chief purpose of the latter
is to extend the right of eminent do
main to irrigation companies. and its
consideration was urged by the attor-
neys of various irrigation companies VINO
were present. The Herald is indebted to
Mr.. Edward Whitson for a copy of the
bill, which is herewith given in full:

Be it enacted by the legislature of the
state of Washington,
Section l. All Waters Public. That
all waters within the limits of the state
from all sources of water supply belong

water can be beneficially used thereon.
Priority in time shall give the better
right. In all cases of claims to the use
of water initiated prior to tine passage
