HELP THE INSTRUCTOR.

J. NJ. Brown has still received nc
word from Olympia as to what course
he shall pursue relative to the in.
spection of fruit in this county. II
seems to be strictly up to the pur-
chasers of trees to keep the Yakima
valley from being contaminated By
the pests during the time that Mr..
Brown is without authority in the
office of fruit inspector. 1t would
certainly do the valley an injury
which would be we'll nigh irrepara-
BILE If some fruit grower without con-
science should refuse to allow his
trees to be inspected, or to be con-
demned after being inspected II
they were found to be infested with
the pest. The growers and owners
of trees should cooperate with the
fruit inspector and see that their
trees are inspected thoroughly.

GET A LIVE MAN.

The Boosters club should secure
a live man to push its boosting for
North Yakima, preferably a news
paper man This suggestion is by
no means original. The plan is the
same as the plan followed in nearly
every city in the west, and has
proven to be most successful one.
An experienced newspaper man can
give more publicity to a town than
any other person. That is his stock
in trade, and it seems logical that
such should should be the choice OF
the publicity committee. In Spo-
kane all of the publicity work is
carried on by ex-newspaper men,
and in a most successful manner.
The success of the publicity work in
Spokane may be duplicated here.

KING OF THE BOOSTERS.

North Yakima has the king of all
the boosters, the high mogul of the
boosting fraternity from coast to
coast. This is l. B. Turmoil, genial
proprietor of the Pacific hotel. Mr..
Turnell never lets a guest leave his
house without hearing that North
Yakima is the proper place. A while
ago he went up into the Mckee val
ley for a visit, and upon his return
declared there is only one place on
the map better than the Mckee, and
that place is North Yakima. He
stated that he hadn't had a better
dinner for two years than the one he
made look diminutive in the Mckee,
and this from a man who has been
eating at his own hotel right along.
The other day when Senator La Fol-
lette was in the city Mr.. Turnell was
the only man who displayed enough
interest to take the senator about
the valley and show him a few
things which make Wisconsin look
ike an empty key. AS a result the
senator states he will "boost for
Yakima" first, last and all the time
Mr.. Turnell states that all of Wash
ington looks good to him, "But Yaki-
ma is BETTER

THE BIG RED APPLE.

The Washington Federation of
Fruit Growers is to make an attempt
to freeze out the Yakima apple.
What lines the federation will work
on is not known, but at a meeting of
that ASSOCIATION in Tacoma it was de-
cided that the Yakima apple is gain
ing too much Of a hold upon the
market and consequently an attempt
will be made to impress upon the
minds of Yakima fruit raisers that
there should be more apples pro-
duced and fewer peaches. Also an
attempt will be made to divide the
apple growing more with Wenatchee
and other sections. The local pro-
ducers will probably combat this
move and in short will probably
raise what they please. The Yakima
apple has made for itself too wide a
reputation to be put out of business
by an association

BETTER RATES.

In an interview with Senator La
Toilette, among other things he stat
ed that North Yakima should have
better freight rates, that all interior
points in this state should have bet
freight rates. Senator La Toilette
has been watching the Spokane rate
case with considerable interest, as
he watches all moves concerning the
railroads. The senator emphati-
cally stated that there should be
some change in the present system,
but smiled and mentioned his
amendment covering that point. The
time does not seem far distant when
goods can be shipped into this city
as they can be shipped to coast
points. despite the water COMPETE
ton afforded to the latter places.
