TRUNK SEWER
WILL Be BUILT
THE CONTRACTORS HEARD FROM
All Obstacles i'm the Matter of Sc
Curing Rights of Way Have
Been Overcome.

John Gilligan & Co., TO whom the
contract for the construction Of the
trunk sewer system was let, notified
members of the city council that the
foreman of the construction WORK
would arrive here on June 4th, and
the actual construction work would
be commenced immeediatly.
The message came from Cincinnati,
where the company is making ar
rangements for the big ditching ma
chinery. 1t is due to the failure Of
this machinery to arrive at the time
originally intended that the work of
beginning the sewer has been de-
layed.
There was a suspicion in the minds
of not few citizens that the Gill;
gan Company had thrown up their
contract, as nothing had been heard
from them for a long time There
seems to have been no intention on
their part to do this, however, and
the message just received dispels
any doubts that may have been en-
tertained by the city council.
One of the main obstacles that has
seemed to stand in the way of the
installation of the proposed sewer
system was removed yesterday when
a right-of- way was secured through
Christian STEMS place, continuing
east from Yakima avenue. The con-
sideration agreed upon for the right
of way across this piece of land was
$500. A strip thirty feet wide, be-
ginning at point in the west line
of Section 20, township IS, north of
range 10, E. w. NJ, is included, and
this completes the long sought outlet
for the sewer system.

COMMENCEMENT
GRAND SUCCESS
EXCELLENT PROGRAM RENDERED
Nothing to Mar Graduation Exercises
and Everything Went OF in
Finest of Style.

Commencement comes but once Il
year, but seldom will Yakima see as
handsome and as large class of
typical Yakima young people gradu-
ate as was witnessed at the NJ. f
church last night
The program was excellent; every
number was splendid, and well rem
dered; the boys chorus was especi-
ally good.
Miss lnez Boatman is fine read
er, and her selection was much APP
plauded.
The two choruses, "The Brooklet
and "The Midshipmite," from Pima
fore, would have done great credit
to more matured voices. In the clos
ing number, the girls chorus, the
singers have not been equalled here
by any of their age.
Cedric Walkers essay and Myron
Growers Grafton both showed talent,
and were creditably given.
The music was of high order and
greatly appreciated, ant the trill by
the Central school of harmony was
we'll nigh perfect.
Miss Cecil Walker showed in her
essay on Washington her apprecia-
ton of the true greatness of the
character she was portraying.
The star attraction of the even
ing was the class prophecy, read by
Miss Ida Bowman, and illustrated
by Harry Martin, Noel Thompson and
Cedric Walker. This was told by
salesman for Flaked Koru Kob, in
the year 1916, and gave a hint of
the life of every one of the gradu-
ates and their various occupations.
Many illustrations Of their appear
ances were depicted.
The presentation of the diplomas
by Prof Selleck was quickly accom-
plished.

Washington, Sept 14-Critics in
various parts of the country took is
sue with the recent interview with Dr.
rector Of the Mint Roberts, In which
the latter declared that one of the
reasons for the increased cost of liy-
ing is found in the greater volume of
farm products and that the tariff and
trusts have little or nothing to do with
It, His statements have met with
ridlcule and the charge made that ia
creased production leads to lower pric-
es and that the real explanation for
the higher cost of living is the excess
siye tariff. In reply to his critics,
Mr.. Roberts issues the following:
"Of course did not put the cart be-
fore the horse by saying that the pri-
ces of agricultural products have been
enhanced by increasing the supply, as
/ have been made to say I'm some OF
the papers. What I said was that
while the prairie states We're being set
tied, and so long as their fertile lands
were open to homestead entry, or for
sale at low prices and on easy terms,
agricultural products were bound to
rule low. The tendency was for sup
ply to gain upon demand and to keep
prices down to about the labor cost
of production. But now that the best
and most accessible Of these lands are
gone, the tendency is for consumption
to gain on production. The constant
ly enlarging demand for food undoubt-
eddy can be met, but 1t must be done
by bringing into use less productive
lands, by irrigation and drainage and
more thorough culture, but prices must
be higher to induce this culture.
by higher prices / mean prices
higher than the old level of ten years
ago, with which comparisons now are
being made. The advance under dis
cussion is the advance from cent
cotton, so cent wheat, and 40 cent corn
on the farms. OF course, Ii involves
an increase in living costs. 1t should
be remembered that both parties con-

will see again such a rapid increase in
the supply of agricultural products as
occurred while this government was
giving away the lands of the Mlssis-
sippi valley.
ut is true, of course that the price
of land depends on the value Of it's
products and not the reverse / refer

Naval Department Is Arranging to
Make the Necessary Connections.
Washington, Sept. 1.-THE navy de-
partment is arranging TO establish
coastwise stations of wireless tele-
graphy in the Philippines, similar to
the chain of stations reaching from
Portland, Me-, to Galveston, Tex, on
the Atlantic seaboard Lieutenant G..
G. Sweet Of the navy, has been engag-
ed on this work for a year or more
having been sent to the Asiatic sta
tion by the bureau of equipment TO
install wireless apparatus on the ships
of the far eastern fleet. He has Sc
lected the sites for the new stations on
land, and the islands have been fully
covered by the system of communica-
ton. In the arrangement of this sys-
tenn special pains have been taken TO
establish communication with ships
bound for Hong Kong. The system
will connect with the army stations,
which are situated in the southern
part of the Islands. 1t is hoped even
tually to install stations of sufficient
power to send messages from the Phil
ippines to Guam, thence to Hawaii and
so on to the Pacific coast. These long
distance relays are believed by the
experts to be possible without trouble.
and there are those who have faith
in the development of the wireless sys-
tenn to the extent that IL will be pos
sible to exchange messages between
Manila and San Francisco without any
relays. The experiments conducted
at the Asiatic station have been to
the same effect as those elsewhere.
The best results are obtained at night.
and all sorts Of uncertainties attend
the operation of the system, to anti
eipate which battles the skill OF the
scientists.

Cincinnati Woman Declares Plant Is
SO Noisy That She Can't Talk.
Cincinnati, o., Sept. 14.-Mrs Mary
Depinal, of 953 Fillmore street has re-
sorted to the courts in an endeavor to
talk at night. She today filed suit
against the Foss Schneider Brewing
Co. asking for an injunction restrain
ing the operation of the plant at night.
She gives as her reason that the noise
made by the operation of the plant
prevents any social conversation at her
house in the evening.
She says that the brewing company
is located across the street from her
home, and that she is suffering from
nervous prostration as the result of
trying to make her neighbors hear
what she says to them in a social con-
Versation.
Indeed. I am" was Mrs. Depinals
emphatic answer to the question as to
whether she was serious in her allega-
tions. 1T is simply impossible for
me to hear myself talk or hear what
others say. When my husband comes
home in the evening to supper we
have to make gestures for what we
have to say, and If we want to talk
we have to go down TO Lincolns Park.
It's an outrage, that's all it is. and all
my neighbors here are giving me NOR
al support of my suit"

WASHBURN is one OF THE PROSPEROUS TOWNS
OF THE GREAT MISSOURI SLOPE

The prospective immigrant seeking
investment, or better still a. perma-
nent home will find the richest of OPP
portunities west and north of Wash
burn in Mclean county Washburn
is the county seat and created as such
at the time of organization in 1888
the site had been plated year prev
iously by John Satterlund and John S.
Veeder, the former is receiver in the
u. S. landoffice at Bismarck and the
latter is a veteran passenger conduc-
tor on the Northern Pacific.
Less than five years ago there were
only about six miles of railroad in the
county, today there are loo miles con-
tributed by the Northern Pacific and
the 500, both lines heading for the
Fort Berthold Indian reservation
which is nearing the time when that
fertile region will be at the disposal
of the public and homesteader. This
year the 500 is adding another fifty
five miles in extension work from Gar
rison to Plaza. The grading has been
done and the laying of steel is under
best farming communities and where
it is expected there are waiting inn
mense crops awaiting movement to
terminals. There is a projected line
to run east from Plaza to Drake, a
point in southern McHenry county,
connecting there with the main line
from Portal east.
These enterprises mean much to the
thousands of sturdy yeomen who have
passed into the county of Mclean
from adjacent states during the past
five years. Washburn by reason of
it's location and valuable, tributaries
for trade has won for itself CONNER
cial supremacy and today it looks as
though it will be a hard proposition
to wrest that supremacy from her
there are several other prosperous
towns, but as they advance Washburn
will advance and grow commercially
and in population.
Farm Products.
The products of Mclean county will
give some idea of the new expansion
and development, and the crop produce
ing qualities of the fertile lands which
abound here on every side.
In 1903 the wheat acreage was &c.
900 acres yielding 209,740 bushels, oats
1880 acres with a yield of 296,060
bushels, flax 70.01S acres with a yield
of 325,510 bushels and pounds of but
ter made in dairies, 1887.
In 1904 there were seeded 5S,249

with yield of 13S,S03 bushels.
Last year, 1905, the total wheat acre
age was 68,224 acres and number OF
bushels harvested 1,159,201; flax 49,354
acres, 5S0,597 bushels; barley 5S,567
bushels, oats 770,942 bushels. OF corn
there were 155 acres producing 2,376
bushels. Pounds of butter produced
on farms 2O4,526. Value of cattle
hogs and sheep sold outside the state
$60S73. Potatoes are very prolific
125 to $50 bushels to the acre and of a
quality which always tops the market
with eastern and southern buyers.
Taxation.
Since the opening of the new CEN
fury and incident to it the advent OF
the new activity which so suddenly
responded to the improved climatic
conditions there has been a gradual
falling off of tax levies with no ces-
sation of the proper maintenance OF
facilities such as roads. bridges, etc.
In 1900 the real estate valuation
amounted to $4,000; personal, 1929
923 with a required levy of 26.5 mills
Each year since up to 1905 there has
been a gradual increase in assessed
values and a reduction of the levies
For the year 1905 the levy was 20.7
mills. The real estate valuation ST.
964, 239; personal, 1881, 010; grand to-
tal $3,345,249.
This year the grand total was $4,-
710,776, divided as follows: Real es-
tate. $2,612,53S; personal $1,254,425;
railroads, telephone and telegraph
lines, $S43,S1S. 1t is expected that
the levy will be still less than in 1905
Officials estimated that the new acre
age this year was not less than 30 pei
cent nearly all of which was put into

River Facilities.
The principal river traffic is the
movement Of the crops from up river
points to Washburn where they are
transferred to railroad ears and thence
via the 500 to the big grain terminals
The river traffic is done by the Ben
ton Transportation Co, l. P. Baker
manager. Vast quantities of grain
are shipped from points in Mercer
county creating a business of prodi-
gious proportions. In the season there
is a fleet of five boats and four i'm
mense barges. At the landing at
Washburn the wheat and other grains
are transferred from the boats by
means of marine leg elevator sys-
tenn at the rate of 1900 bushels an
hour. The river landing and railroad
yards in connection are well lighted
by electricity so that boats arriving
after nightfall are not subjected to any
