HE AVOIDED THE RUSH.
Hiram's Conversion Led Hank to
Make a Call in Good -
Season.

Among those present at the revival
meeting held at the village church that
night was Hiram Bloodless. He had
been characterized in various terms
OF consideration as the village Simon
Legree, the village Shylock and other
names that expressed the fact that he
never paid his bills and was generally
unpopular, relates the Kansas City star
Among those who got religion on that
night was Hiram Bloodless. Very early
after the general appeal for those who
were wicked to repent, Hiram tottered
to the front, fell on his knees and
shouted at the top Of his voice 'T've
got Ill I've got IT."
After the excitement OF this extraor-
dinary conversion had died away there
was an appeal from the pulpit for testi-
monials on the part OF the new con-
verts, and Hiram was nothing loath to
tell just how he felt He spoke OF the
great calm In his soul, his sudden BELIEF
in all the doctrines OF the church. and
then in spirit Of extreme humbleness
he turned to the audience and said:
Friends, have done much wrong In
my life. have injured many. have
been unjust to all OF you. want those
OF you whom have wronged to know
tonight that my life work will be 10
repay you twofold, threefold, yea, four
fold. From tonight am a Christian
man"
Hiram sat down To the tune OF fervant
amens and loud hosannahs, and he went
home In complete satisfaction with hls
nights work. He received the con-
gratulations Of his joyful wife and re-
tired to his bed in great peace. Al two
o'clock In the morning there was n
knock at his door In fear and trem-
bling Hiram still shaking from his sud-
den conversion, tiptoed to the door ana

'Me, Hank Stubbins,p came tho an

"Why, what's the trouble?y asked

Much of their own time is taken up
with management work, and as for the
men who might assist them, If busi-
ness goes down they are discharged,

turers see no necessity for employing
extra men.
In Germany a very different state
Of things prevails. There the man at

useful. He had all sorts of scientific

Unfortunately. 1t is only too true
that scientific research 10 neglected In

conservative methods are to blame.
There is a lack of scientific training
among those at tho head of our great
industries. and they therefore fall to

work. A certain number Of our man
ufacturers have been trained. but the
majority come from Oxford or Cam

Mountain Invades Town.

Faith or something else is removing
at least one mountain in the Rhymney
valley, GIamorganshire Wales, which
is slowly advancing towards the VII.
lage Of Troedyrhiew. Although the
garden of the village inn has been
completely swept away, the inn itself,
which is between the mountain and
4he garden, is intact. The explanation
is that 1t was practically rebuilt some
time ago on solid bed Of rock. Near
The inn Is a belt Of woodland in which
all the trees have developed pro-
nounced droop. Many opinions are ex-
pressed as to the cause Of the slide.
Mining operations some say, are re-
sponsible, while others attribute 1t to
Quicksand.

A bond is a written obligation. In
It one party promises to pay to an.
other certain sum II certain condi-

sum is much larger than the debt, SO
that 1t will cover the debt, interest and
costs. The("collateral' is the mort

as formerly.

lien upon the real estate. and II the
interest and principal Of the note are
paid the title OF the real estate con-
tinues in the name OF the borrower.
Where note is secured on personal
property. the lender often requires that
the personal property be delivered to
him Immediately ON making the loan,
and that 1t shall remain in his posses
sion until the note Is paid. This Is
,alled pledge. When chattel mort
gage Is given as security the title for
he personal property goes to the loan
n and the borrower can redeem it by
,aying the note.

CANNED MEATS VS.. RIVER WATER.
A Contributor Deplores the "Findings''
Along the River Banks.

Editor Herald: Speaking of canned
meats leads us to think of slaughter
houses houses. and this leads us to
think of the Yakima river.
Today, for instance, floating out Of
ditch into the Yakima river were the
carcasses of perhaps a dozen sheep,
pigs and calves in varied stages OF
butchering, and an awful lot of offal.
Now. while we are studying the
problems of beautiful lawns, of civic
reforms, of sanitation and improved
sightliness for our city, is here not a
problem worthy of consideration and
prompt action? Much Of this con-
Eliminating slaughter house filth lodges
on the banks Of the river, much of It
floats down to Prosser and to regions
beyond. All of it is diseased and
death breeding.
Some unfortunates may die from
breathing the poisoned air; others will
die from drinking the death germs.
And this is going on from day to day.

Contractor Gilligan again informed
the council that it would be impossible
for him to finish the sewer without
the alteration in the grade requested,
as the water interfered with the
work to such an extent that the pipe
could not be laid.
Councilman Marsh thought the whole
matter would better be left in the
hands of the street and ditch COM
mittee Councilman Linbarger opposed

from the council to have entire SUPER
vision of the work until the sewer is
completed: that the committee be en-
powered to authorize such minor
changes as they saw fit, where there
was no possibility of these changes
interfering with the efficiency of the
sewer; that DIR. Fell be employed as
consulting engineer on the work, he
having had extensive experience as a
civil engineer and sewer builder in the
east; that the committee at once in
vestigate the work alleged to have
been done according to the changed
grade, and report to the council as to
whether it should be relaid according
to the first plans This motion pre-
vailed. and Mayor Reed appointed on

Enquiries for premium lists and in

CANNING PLANT IS
READY I'd OPERATE
IS MODEL IN EVERY RESPECTS
Farmers and Fruit Growers Invited to
Inspect the Institution and See
Business Methods.

| The new cannery is now ready to
begin operations. The machinery has
been installed and as soon as suffi-
cient fruit has been bought and con-
tracted for, the company will begin
putting it into bright new cans with
handsome labels and packed into cases
to be sold to the jobbers through
whose hands some of Yakima's famous
fruits and vegetables will find it's way
to the consumers.
The Weber Russell Canning COM
pany, the proprietors of the North
Yakima cannery also the new one at
Puyallup, is more than pleased with
the report from the latter place, and
the growers of berries in that locality
are also more than satisfied with the
treatment accorded them by the COM
pany. Weber & Russell, early in the
season, contracted for 100000 pounds
of raspberries and the same quantity
of blackberries. UP TO the close of the
berry season they had used 100000
pounds. The Seattle Pr. recently re-
produced check calling for 1899 paid
for berries that were too ripe to be
shipped, and which would otherwise
have gone to waste, for one week alone
in the Puyallup valley. With several
times this amount for the season, and
the vast amount paid for labor, will
give the reader an idea of the value of
a plant of the character of the one
located here to any community.
Andrew Weber, the vice president of
the company, was in the city Thurs
day. He said: Our plant is now ready
to start and l want 20 emphasize the
statement that there is not a better
one of it's capacity on the enire Pacific
coast. 1t is as modern as can be made
and we are in hopes the people Of
your city and the fruit growers in
particular will appreciate the fact that
we have undertaken a large PROPOSE
ton here, and will give us the treat
ment we merit. We have over SIS, 900
invested in the North Yakima plant
and realize that if we would do busl-
ness and keep the plant going we must
be fair with the people. Without
boasting, this has ever been our poll
cy. as our record at Puyallup and
elsewhere this season will show. We
do not expect to get fruit for nothing.
On the other hand, we expect to pay !,
fair price for all we can get and only
ask that growers come in and learn
our methods We believe we can show
them where they can make more good
money dealing with us right here at
home than take chances on long ship
ments.
I'VE would like to make contracts
for peaches and pears right away and
we believe we are offering more than
the market justifies. If we can make
contracts now we can do better in the
matter of prices to be paid for fruit
than we can promise later, for the
reason that we are enabled to contract
our output now, While later we will
be forced through the jobbers having
bought to carry over this years out
put till next season.
Il wish you would invite every fruit
man for me to call at our cannery on
North Selah street and get acquainted
with Mr.. Edwards. our local manager.
He will be pleased to show visitors
the plant and talk over matters of
mutual consequence

TO PRODUCE DENATURED ALCOHOL
Plans to Utilize Waste Crops When
Tax Is Removed.

GARFIELD, Aug. 11.-There is a
probability of Garfield getting a de-
natured alcohol factory when the de-
natured alcohol law goes into effect
January l, 1907. p. H. Routzahn, one
of Garfields pioneer business men. will
probably put in a plant to make the
fluid. Mr.. Routzahn is certain the
fluid can be produced here more cheap
ly than in many other parts of the
country To the Times representative
Mr.. Routzahn said:
"Denatured alcohol can be produced
here for from 10 to IL cents per gallon.
In Cuba and Germany it costs from l2
to 10 cents per gallon--that it. is re-
tailed for that price-and as soon as
the tax is removed 1t can be produced
and sold here more cheaply than in
those countries. Free alcohol will be
a great benefit to our inland empire
farmers. 1t will not only give them
cheaper fuel for their homes and
threshing engines. but it will light
their dwellings and also be the means
of opening a splendid market for the
products of their farms.
Every farm in the great Palouse
country produces annually an abund-
ance of fruit that rots under the trees,
on account of no market. They also
produce potatoes. sugar beets and all
kinds OF grain in great quantities.
There will always be a surplus or the
alcohol factory as soon as 1t Is started,
and the time is near when they will
be in operation in every part OF tho
inland empire.
"Denatured alcohol can be made
from all kinds of grain. fruit, vegeta-
bles, corn stalks, waste molasses, SUI
gar and sugar cane and other things
too numerous to mention. One hun
dred pounds of sugar will make SO per
cent pure alcohol. fifty bushels corn
will make from 1875 to 145 gallt OF
alcohol. 500 bushels of potatoes v
make 500 gallons OF alcohol, 1--WE tons
of corn stalks will make seventy five
gallons of alcohol. and beet pulp from
the beet sugar factories, and the hun
dreds of tons of fruit that annually go
to waste will produce millions OF gall
Ions of alcohol"
