THE coy on THE FARM.

The tendency of farmer boys to
leave the farm has been often de-
plored. While the cause of this de-
sire, in thousands of instances put
ages of twelve and seventeen years,
is not far to seek, the remedy came
slowly, and is as yet far from being
generally applied to the farming
communities of this state.
Constant work and long hours in
the summer and a season of utter
loneliness in the winter are not like
ly to beget in boys spirit of sem
timent and love for the farm. The
boy wants company, and to escape
the lonliness that at times becomes
uncomfortable he will walk miles
through the mud to the store at the
country cross roads, or to the village
railway station, where he is more
than likely to meet vile associates
and he is practically certain to be-
come Injured to idle and vagrant
habits. Josat Flynt has told of boys
who by the score have been induced
to take up the tramp life through
the representations of wandering
men whom they have met at village
railway stations and country stores.
where they have been driven through
the loneliness and unattraetiveness
OF farm house homes to see some
thing beyond the line of their faith
ers' fields and talk to somebody
about unfamiliar places and chances
to make money. These facts have
long been understood by intelligent
men and women on the farm, but
for obvious reasons the social rem
edy has been difficult to apply.

THE INTER-VALLEY.

The most important project under
way in the Yakima valley at the
present time is the building of the
proposed line of the Inter-Valley. A
suburban line has become an i'm
perative necessity to the city as
we'll as the country. The country Is
becoming so densely populated that
it is becoming difficult for farmers
to bring their produce to the city
conveniently. The people are watch.
ing the Inter-valley closely and hope
that some move toward actual con.
struction will be made soon.

MIR. JONES FOR SENATOR.
Suggestion Is Looked Upon Will,
Favor on Puget Sound.

Wesley L. Jones for United States
senator has a pleasant sound and
particularly SO when the alternative
of Levi Ankeny is considered. The
sole qualification Of the Walla Walla
banker was his wealth but his wealth
has failed to accomplish results for
the state OF Washington in the SEN
ate Of the United States.
The election of Wesley L. Jones
will mean just the opposite. 1t will
be a recognition of ability and worth.
Mr.. Jones has ably represented the
state Of Washington in four terms of
the national congress. He is recog-
nized by his associates in congress as
an able man and by dint of hard
work he has been able to secure rec
ognition for Washington in the mat
ter of appropriation for many need
ed improvements.
In recognition OF his ability Mr..
Jones has been a member of the riv-
ers and harbors committee the past
three terms of congress. From the
standpoint of the needs of the state
this is one of the most important
committees of the national congress.
Unlike many of the congressman
from the new states Mr.. Jones has
no place on committees of little or
no Importance.
It is a we'll established fact tina!
the only motive which prompted Levi
Ankeny to enter the senatorial race
was the social and political honor
which he believed would be gained
from the position and it is just as
we'll established that his wealth was
the sole factor which secured his
election.
If the state owed it to Mr.. Ankeny
to establish a social and political
position for him the debt has been
paid and it is time the question Of
ability should be taken into consid-
Grafton in the election of United
States senator Seattle News.

TRUTH NEVER HURTS.

Miles Cannon, in a talk before a
meeting of the Boosters Club, made
several pertinent statements relative
to conditions in this valley. The fact
that land values in the Yakima Val
ley are high in certain instances is
true, but it is also true that the
land is worth it. Mr.. Cannon states
that if this is a fact, it should be
shown that the land is productive
enough to pay good returns on the
investment. But high priced land
is not all that there is in this vicin-
ity. There is a sufficiency of good
land which can be secured at nom-
inal values, and the prospective set
tier should know of this land as well
as of that which is high priced.
There are plenty of men with suffi-
cient capital to invest in property
at a good price, but there are also
many who cannot afford to carry
through heavy proposition, but at
the same time would make excellent
citizens. The Yakima Valley is los
ing these people daily because they
keep aloof as result of reports of
high priced lands. They could find
better homes here and better place
to live than in many sections where
they now locate, and could find these
homes at practically the same cost
Mr.. Cannon suggests that portion
of the boosting should be for the
smaller towns, such as Toppenish,
Sunnyside, Granger, Wapato and
other places, as well as for North
Yakima. There seems to be consid-
cradle sound sense in this sugges-
ton. What will help those towns
will also help North Yakima, and Ii
is up to this place which has such
natural advantages that in no way
can it possibly fail to become a great
city, to help those towns which some
day will be suburbs of the metrop.

VISITORS IN BETTER LUCK

While Gordon Hickman pitched 6 masterly game of baseball yesterday still he was pretty lucky to get away with the big end of the score, as Bert Maxwell pitched if anything a better game than the star of the Piratical outft.
 Only in one inning did two hits come, together on Maxwell and that should have been retired. Of the other three one was a scratch that Daly beat out in the third and clean hits in the fourth and sixth.

 In the third inning King and Umpire Rim passed the compliments of the season with the result that King was chased out of the game, Manager Fischer going to right field, Benson to. third base and Warrender to short.
 It was coincidence that the tallies made by both teams were the result of wild throws. Two wild throws in the first inning put over the only two throw in the sixth put in the only

 Henline started the sixth with g drive to center and reaching third when Hickman picked up Malarky's s bunt and threw wild to Lewee in try ing to catch Henline. Baxter hit a long fly to left and Henline counted.
 Daly threw wild to the plate and Malarky reached third, but Hickman got out of 1t with one run by letting Perry down on a fly to Benson and Nadeau on a hit to the same place.
 This was the last hit made against Hickman, and Lewee's hit In the first of the sixth was the last of Maxwell. Nothing more was done by either side and the game ended 2 to 1 in favor of the Pirates.
