eyes behold them in physical

Ten dollars cash premiums will ne

cured Prof. Jordon, of the state
agricultural college, to be here and
act as judge and give a lecture on
corn. Every farmer in this locality
should bring in a sample and hear
what the corn expert has to say
about it. T
Renters alongside business street
should frequently call the attention
of their landlords to the fact that a
concrete walk is needed all along
the block, and that the work should
be done this fall. One contract
has already been let and when the
start is made at the railroad, there
should be no let up until every old
plank walk in the block is done away
with. Several have already ex-
pressed their willingness to join in
when their next door neighbor gets
ready and we believe when the
work is once started it will be a
clean sweep.
IN The walk at ,the,ald Presbyterian
church corner is, still out, conditions
dangerous and chances fine for the
town to have a damage suit ON
hand any day. The same condi-
tions have prevailed for over a year
now and it is high time something
was being done. It should not be

the following statement regarding the
Japanese school question:
We have come to a satisfactory un-
derstanding on the assumption that Con-
gress will pass the amendment to the
immigration bill introduced February 49,
But before that amendment Is enacted in
TO law we shall make no statement as to

Mayor Schmitz received the answer of
the japanese government to his propo-
sltlon Tor separate schools through Secre-

Tho Californians called at the White
House at o'clock, and after few min
utes conference with the President and
Secretary Root announced that an amc-
able agreement had been reached. and
Mayor Schmitz promised to give out u
formal statement in the evening. Secre-
tary Root, who remained with the Pres
ident, was rather non-committal regard
ing the conference He would not say
whether a complete agreement had been
reached. He added, naturally, the Pres
ident and California delegates would
await the action Of Congress ON the i'm
migration bill. No official statement was
issued at the White House.
The Japanees ambassador, Viscount
Aolsi, reused TO make any comment on
the situation pending further oommunica-
tion with his government.
The California delegation In Congress is
undivided as to whom the credit for the
settlement is due. Representative Hayes,
who is spokesman, declared that the

GOOD RESULTS FROM GRATING
A. M. Gale, of fruitvale, Has Been Very
Successful in Crossing the Peach
With the Apricot.

One of the newest and best fruits
that have been grated is what the own
er, A. M. Gale, OF Fruitvale district,
calls peach-apricot, says the Yakima
Republic. The tree is only three years
old and has borne for two years. The
fruit is OF the most luscious kind with a
perfectly smooth skin, having the col
or of both peach and apricot. The
fruit is always large and is ripe in prop
er season about the LIST of July.
Mr.. Gale did not pay any attention
to the tree when it was small and came
very near cutting it down, but after it
yielded its first fruit he realized the
value and Immediately had it copy
righted. This gives him complete
control OF that kind OF fruit and no one
can raise the same kind OF fruit unless
they buy the trees OF him. He will
have 5000 trees on the market this
fall. He has been offered $4,000 for
the one tree and the copyright, but re-
fuses to take it, with the idea that he
can get more out OF it by selling the
bud TO be grated.
