rived in fine condition. 1t is some
thing new, and the world of fruit
growers and fruit consumers seeks
new features all the time. The stray
apricot is in demand everywhere.
Its buds are wanted, regardless of
the prices asked, and in few years
1t will probably take place with the
established market fruits.
There are many lessons for horti-
culturists in that little Yakima fruit.
Every orchardist has the opportunity
for developing something new. 1t may
simply be one of the smallest fruits
or flowers. In any event, there is a
world of people waiting TO handle

And the financial results almost ev-

illustrates that there are possibilities

CITY'S WISE MOVE.

One Of the wisest moves taken by
the city council for some time was
the increase in the men of the fire
department from four besides the
chief 10 fifteen. The recent fire at
Shelton. where 13 were killed and
dozens were injured, probably as a
result of inadequate fire protection
as much as anything, illustrates verS
forcibly the need of proper facilities
to fight fire. The North Yakima fire
department, crippled as it has been
by a lack of men, has always proven
to be most efficient. and each fire
man has done the work of two where
the occasion demanded. Not only
did the department need more men,
but it now needs better equipment.
AS an example. What could be done
against a fire in structure like the
Miller building Is the fire fighting
apparatus such that it would be eff
fcient against flames in the upper
part of five-story building? The
fire department is very important

spent by the council in improvement

NEW IDEAS IN HORTICULTURE.

A good story of success in devel-
oping a new fruit comes from the
Yakima country. One of the small
orchardisis has brought out what
may be called an apricot-peach. He
has christened it "Yakimeens," in
honor Of the locality in which it or
iginated. The buds from a single
tree are OF the market, and selling
al 81 each The originator reports
having sold more than 5000 buds.
One horticulturist, way down in
South Carolina. has secured 500 of
the buds. Ii is estimated that the
orchards will get $4,000 from the
new fruit. Yet some say there is
nothing new under the sun, and the
day OF possibilities in horticulture
is over, says the Seattle Post-Inteln
gencer.
The story OF the new Yakima fruit
reads like a romance The man who
discovered il has only a small river

WHY NOT MAKE A MOVE?

Several weeks ago a petition was
presented 10 the city council in
which was asked an increase in
wages for fremen and policemen.
They now receive $50 month, the
heads of the departments being given
SIS. The increase asked was to be
SIS for the fremen and policemen
and 500 for the heads of the de-
partments This request is by no
means unreasonable. Cost of living
is steadily increasing, but not so the
wages of those employed by the city.
The firemen, for instance, are COM
PEELED TO remain at the station house
practically "a hours a day. They
are never given a vacation unless
they will pay a substitute. 1t seems
like a small item, but on $40 a
month it is a large one to purchase
practically a new suit of clothes after
every fire This is almost a neces-
sity. Clothes are ruined whenever
there is a fire OF any consequence.
The petition OF the firemen and po-
licemen is worthy one, and should
be given every consideration.

Professor Barge Taken Into Court

Professor Barge Taken Into Court.
Professor B. F. Barge, one time
president of the E!lensburg Normal
school, for long time member OF
the local school board, and one of
the most prominent men in North
Yakima or Central Washington, was
the subject of nine complaints filed
against him in Sacramento after the
creditors had been waiting for 20
years.
Barge had been Indebted in Iowa,
il the statement made, to the extent
of about $4,000 in connection with
a partner. He moved to Washing
ton and it appeared that he was un-
assailable under the laws of this
state, but when he went to Sacra-
mento as a delegate from Yakima
county at the National Irrigation
Congress he was Immediately nailed
by attorneys who had been waiting
almost a quarter of century for
the chance.
The Sacramento Evening Bee has
the following to say on the story:
Tag! You are it,
Words resembling those quoted
above were yesterday afternoon
spoken to one of the prominent dele
gates to the National Irrigation Con-
gress by a representative of the law
firm of White & Miller of this city.
Coming down to plain, everyday
phraseology, a representative from
the law firm succeeded in serving
papers upon B. F. Barge, delegate
to the congress from the state of
Washington.
Creditors in the east have, evil

apparently, from states and territor-
les, where the rule of outlaw pre-
vailed, and his creditors could not
hale him into court Nine complaints
were filed in the superior court of
this county against Barge, the COM
plainant in each instance being A.
A. Cooper. The complaints were
filed upon judgments given by the
district court of Hamilton county,
Iowa
at appears that Barge and part

conducting a hardware business in

concerns, the latter now claiming
that with interest they have coming

he became prominent and wealthy,

likely to pass into private hands. The average age of the trees felled for lumber this year is not less than 150 years. In other words, if he is to secure d second crop of trees of the same size, the dumb ber-, man or private forest owner must wait, say. at least one hundred years for the second crop to grow As n rule, such longtime invest ments as this waiting would in- volve do not commend themselves to business men who are accus- toned to quick returns. But the States and the Nation can look much farther ahead. The larger, then, the area of National and State control over woodlands, the greater is the likelihood that the forests of the country will be kept permanently productive.

American Mining Investments in
 Mexico.
exico.

A. l.. NJ. Gottschalk, consul gen. eral of the United States in Mexico City, in a recent report to the State department in Washington on American mining investments in Mexico, says:
 According to the best private authority conservative estimate of the American capital brought into Mexico since 1902 and invested in mining and smelting ventures amounts to about $125 900, 900 gold. This figure may materially increase the general estimate of American capital in mining and smelling in the states mentioned since 1902:
