by referring to them as local Der
ries or gave them dirty dig. In
Tuesdays paper it said: "The first
real Hood River berries are now on
the market and are selling at $3.50,
and Clark's Seedlings, which is the
common variety grown about Ken
newick, Walla Walla, Milton etc.,
sold at $500 crate. Such
miserable policy should be beneath
the dignity of paper OF the pre-
tentions of the Review. And it
should have man in charge of its
market department that at least
knows what he is talking about.
Any one who is posted on straw
berries knows that the Clark Seed
ling is the berry raised exclusively
at Hood River. A papers market
reports should be the one depart
ment in which the public could
have implicit trust, and should be
free from all influences that would
tend to draw it from the exact facts.
Such is not the case with that
department i'll the Review. Some
time ago it reported that the bad
weather had taken the KenneWick
berries from the market when the
facts were that the Spokane dealers
refused to pay as good prices for
our berries as could be gotten in
other places. The Review was
quoting Kennewick berries at $500
when they were selling all over the
country from SIS to $I2. 50 per
crate. And it is safe to say they
did not get berry. In the quota
tons cited they say Kennewick
Der les sold at $500 per crate when
it is a we'll known fact that the
cheapest they have been sold, de-
livtred at the depot in this place, is
81 90 a crate.

son has affected the alfalfa crop as
well as the fruit, in the matter Of
time, it has had a good effect on
the quality and quantity. In most
of the fields the first cutting will
run considerably over two tons to
the acre, and the quality is first
class. Reports from over the val
ley show that all of last years sup
ply has been exhausted and the
new crop is going On the market at

of the land down the valley was
sown to alfalfa last year and will
be i'll good growth this year.

Shows Its Ignorance.

Under head of "Wholesale Pro-
duce Prices" in its market report
the Spokesman Review says: Clark
Seeding Strawberries, s.. so to
$3.50 crate; Hood River strawber-
ries, $500 crate; and we SUPPOSE
they would get IS hot as a wet her,
SHOULD we say they did not know
what they were talking about.
Clark Seedlings may sell in Spo-
kane for $3.50 to s.. so per crate,
but wholesalers pay s. to s.. 50 for
them here on the platform of the
depot. For the information of the
market editor of that sheet we will,
again say that the real Hood River
berry is tile Clark Seeding, the
best berry on the market.

; already been, in way, filed upon
by private parties, SO as to make it
quite a difficult and expensive
proposition for any private corpor-
alton to get possession of the same.
The price at which the Sunnyside
! canal has been offered to the
United States government is much
lower than what it would cost to
replace the system. Under the
Sunnyside canal as it now exists
there are in the neighborhood of
10000 acres ofland held by p ivate
parties which land has no waite,
rights.
1.-The United States government
will be i'll position to form the
owners of this land into a water
users association, ard they will
contribute towards the construction
of a general irrigation scheme in
case the government sees fit to
go ahead. 1t is without doubt true
that the reclamation of lands in the
lower Yakima valley is the most
feasible irrigation scheme on the
Pacific coast. The reclamation of
these lands, including proper
reservoir system, will cost far less
per acre than any project that has
SO far been investigated by the
United States reclamation service.
The Washington Irrigation
company's true position as to the
reclamation of lands in. the Yakima
valley has in the main been mis-
stated and misunderstood. 1t was
asked BY Judge Calvert. former
commissioner of public lands, to
make the proposal to reclaim lands,
which would be allotted under the
Carey act, lying in the lower Yak
ina valley. Under all the ciicum-
Stances the Washington Irrigation
company is perfectly willing to get
out of the way that the United
States government may go ahead !
and reclaim upwards of 800, 900
acres of land at a low cost per acre
in the Yakima valley. l under
stand that the government has al
ready withdrawn the lakes at the
headwaters of the Yakima ard
Naches rivers and also all water in
the Yakima river under the act
lately passed by our legislature.
The government undou btedly is in
a position to control The situation
for a long time to come SO far as
storage reservoirs or further az
out of the Yakima are
concerned. Yakima Republic.

Secretary of the Washington Irriga-

nation On Sale of Canal.

+. F. Blaiue, secretary of the
Washington Irrigation company,
owner of the Sunnyside canal, has
given out the following about the
negotiations for the deal:
cit is true that the Wasllin gton
Irrigation company is willing to
sell its canal and lateral system to
the United States government for
$4,000. This matter has been
under consideration between the
reclamation service and the Wash
iuston Irrigation Co. for a number
Of months, and it is probable that

Mr.. Ross, commissioner of public

There is a feeling among the
great men of the nation that the
Office of president of the United
States should only be held one term
by any single incumbent, and it
does not seem to us as there is
much coed argument against such
a proposition. The following from
the Commoner, Mr.. Bryan's paper
is great big argument in favor of
it, "Then he began to plan to sue
coed himself. No candidate for the
presidency ever used the power of
the office more openly or notorious
1y to secure a presidential nominat-
ion. His altered position on the
trust question could not be con-
strued otherwise than as a sur
render to the trusts, and from the
time he ceased to urge antitrust
legislation ne had the support of the
great trusts" Coming as it does
from the pen of a man who has
twice tried for that important posi-
ton, and as human NATURE suffers
very little change by the garmentit
wears it is reasonable to suppose
Mr.. Bryan, had he been elected
would have been influence by the
same motives as he claims in
huenced Mr.. Roosevelt. We know
what influence the chance of an
other term has on officials in smaller
capacities and it is reasonable to
suppose that the influences grow
with the office. Four years NAV be
a rather short time for a IN IN to
carry into effect his peculiar policies,
but we do not know as there is any
necessity of confirming the term Of
Office to that many years. Make
the term six years, and let the ell
cumbent take his chair with the
knowledge that when that time is
up he must retire. Surely one
term as president of the United
States is honor enough for enc
man.

BOARD OF EDUCATION ACTS

"Shall Japanese and Chinese children
be barred from the public schools of
Los Angeles?" was the leading ques-
ton before the board of education at
its meeting yesterday.
The proposition to exclude the yell
low race from the American schools
has been agitated in nearly every coast
city and a letter from the Japanese
and Korean Exclusion society of San
Francisco put the matter before the
local board.
1t is proposed, however, to give both
the Japanese and Chinese a fair
chance by providing a special school
for them. The proposition, after be-
ing considered by the board, was given
to. the teachers committee for in
vestigation.
Dissection Barred
The recent dissection or a cat by one
OF the classes OF the Union avenue
school was taken up by the board and
report was made by the teachers
committee as follows:
''Your teachers committee reports as
follows: In regard to the matter Of the
