FUND TO CATCH KIDNAPERs.
Jersey Lawmakers to Appropriate
$4,000

TRENTON, April 1.-THE senate in
tends to place at the disposal of the gov
ernor $4,000, to be used as an emergency
fund as reward whenever a kidnap ping
case comes up in this state. The measure
is lated to go through both houses
After much debate the senate passed
the Robbins bill, allowing franchises to
be granted for fifty years in rural counties
Senator Robbins made a plea for the bill,
saying that in rural communities the TAX
ing away of the power to grant perpetual
franchises had worked harm. He said his
constituents in Burlington county could
not get the trolley facilities which other
counties were getting. Capital would not
invest in short-term franchises and risk
the vote of the people in getting an extern
sion under the Hillery limited franchise
act. Senators Colby, SilZer, Hutchinson
and Gebhardt opposed the measure.
The Daab bill permitting Sunday base ball
was killed in the senate by an adverse
committee report.

Another result of last nights meeting
was the decision of the directors to en-
courage Father Ketcham to cooperate
with Commissioner of Indian Affairs Leupp
in the effort which he is making to allow
the pupils in the government Indian board

from priests ministers of the churches

great deal of attention. The ma
chinery exhibit last year was at all
times overrun with visitors, and this
years display will exceed anything Of
the kind ever seen at an interstate
fair in the northwest.
Everything from threshing ma
chine to a windmill will be seen in
practical operation, and the compre-
hensive exhibit as an educator should
not be overlooked. This exhibit will
make a visit to the fair well worth
while if careful study is made of
the different exhibits.
Horses from all over the entire
northwest coutry will be entered in
the races at the Interstate fair this
year, and better racing, as well as
more of it, should be seen at the COM
ing fair than ever before.
Horses which have never competed
against each other will be entered this
year. Horses coming from the Mead
ows at Seattle, from Montana, and
from British Columbia will all be en-
tered, and larger list of entries
than ever before will result.
Already Manager Cosgrove has re-
ceived entries from race horse owners
who have never brought their horses
to the fair in previous years. Several
carloads of horses will be shipped
from Butte to try their mettle on the
local track. Many of the horses from
the Meadows at Seattle will also come
here for the meet. Even from Ne
braska a number of horsemen are
already shipping their animals, and
with this strong array of horsefesh,
attracted by two weeks of racing and
better purses than ever before offered
it is safe to predict that the meet
this year will be one of the strongest
ever seen in the west.

MUCH YAKIMA FRUIT.

According to all estimates, says the
Benton County Republican, the amount
of fruit put up this year in the Yakima
valley will exceed that of any previous
year, yet it is practically certain there
will be nowhere near enough to sup
ply the demand.
Every housewife who can find the
time has prepared more or less for
domestic use, and will add to her
stores as opportunity offers until the
close of the season. So much fresh
fruit is disposed of on the tables Of
every community that it is sometimes
difficult to procure it in quantities
sufficient for canning. With regard
to the work done by the various can
ming establishments in the state, An
drew Weber, of North Yakima, selling
agent for the Washington State Can
ners' Association, says the canneries
will pack five times as much as last
year. and could sell twenty times as
much just as easily if they had it.
The east is looking to this portion
of the country for it's fruit, and many
orders have to be turned down be-
cause the goods are not to be had.
Many orders are being taken subject
to pack, as the season is yet busy
and it is not definitely known what
amount will come in before the close
The bulk of the output of the associ-
alton will be sold in the northwest
The apricot pack has not been
large, but relatively large pack of
peaches will be put up. Considerable
blight among tomato plants cut down
that crop very materially.

it is estimated that in this department
the state fair will show excellent re-
suits.
Thousands of dollars will be held
up impulses for the races. The racing
at the fair was good last year. Some
of the fastest horses in the country
were seen on the local track. But
there will be no comparison between
the races of a year ago and those set
for the ensuing fair. The coming
events will bring out first class field
of harness horses and thoroughbreds
of the highest order. All stock entries
close September 16.

SPOKANE'S INTERSTATE FAIR

appropriated to itself the first two
nights of the Interstate fair this year.
Elaborate carnival plans have already
been made by the leaders of the mys-
terious order, and the greatest secrecy
prevails as to what surprises will be
sprung on an innocent and unsuspect-
ing public on the opening nights of
the fair.
From the few facts which have so
far leaked out, interest has been keyed
to the highest pitch. One incautious
sir knight admitted that contract
for $4,000 worth of fireworks had been
closed with the famous Pain Fire
works company, and the Enakops
would burn large holes in the atmos-
phere, making day out of night, dur

been organized which promises to
remedy the matter. 1t is proposed to
build a line to an outside connection
which will provide an outlet for their
products, and there is a practical as
surance that, once completed, there
are a number of transcontinental sys-
TENS which will be more than willing
to take over the property without
quibbling seriously as to the price. 1t
is to be hoped that the Northern &
Southern will be a successful project,
and there are evidences that it will.

THE WASHINGTON STATE FAIR
(Rv w A Erwin \

The 1907 state fair gives brighter
promise of success today than was
ever hoped for by the members of the
board who are now working with I'M
firing determination to produce an ex-
position of such gigantic proportion as
to charm and astound the thousands
of annual visitors to North Yakima.
Increased premiums in every depart
ment have given to exhibitors in the
various lines renewed incentive, and
it is now predicted that the greatest
variety of exhibits will be shown here
during the week of September % to
% than have been gathered together
in all the past years of the state fair
combined Fifteen thousand dollars
for stock alone has awakened the
stockmen of the northwest to the op-
portunities awaiting them, and this
department will shine with the mag
nificence of the finest display of STAN
dard bred cattle to be found in the
United States.
Twenty-Five hundred dollars for
fruit and $1,000 for vegetables has
aroused the efforts of the fruit and
The ranch. [volume] (Seattle, Wash.) 1902-1914, 1907-09-15

vegetable growers throughout the
state, and if Yakima county, with its
boasted fruit prestige succeeds in cap
turing a few of the principal prizes,
1t will certainly be due to merit in
the fruit, and not to lack of competi-
ton. Every fruit section of the state
is coming to North Yakima this fall
with a full and thorough display of
its products.
Two thousand dollars for poultry is
sufficient to attract the attention OF
all the fanciers in the northwest, and

partly traced to the natural growth
in population and the increased de-
velopment of the state, but in a large
measure it is directly due to the fact
that the farmers of the state are more
clearly realizing the educational adj
vantages of the fair and are studying
to make the most advantage of these
educational features.
There is much information that may
be cleaned by the thoughtful farmer
and the annual vacation can be COM
bined with profit in studying the pro-
ducts of different parts of the state
and in comparing notes on the best
method of cultivating the soil under
varying conditions.
The amount of the cash prizes for
farm products has been materially in
creased this year. and the result will
naturally be a keener competition in
all departments. Marked increases
have also been made in the livestock
department, and many new classes
have been added, SO that everything
this year points towards the most
largely attended and successful fair
in the history of the association.
The railroads this year will make
their customary rate of a fare and a
third for the round trip during the fair,
and on certain dates will arrange for
a one fare for the round trip rate.
These dates will be divided up among
the different sections, so that the peo-
pie residing in any given section will
have at least one chance to visit the
fair at a rate of one fare for the
round trip. The dates for these Spe-
cial excursion rates will be announced
later.
The Home Industry exhibit, COM
plete showing of the manufactured
products of Spokane, which occupied
such a prominent place at the Inter
state fair last year, will be one of
the features of the coming fair which
will be held in Spokane from Sep
TENDER % to October 6.
George A. Lovejoy who will have
charge of the exhibits this year, is
already making plans for the arrange
ment of the different booths, and an
excellent showing is anticipated
Last year the Home Industry show
was a new departure, but in spite of
that fact it made an excellent show
ing. This year, with the experience
of last year to guide them, the diff
ferent exhibitors are invariably plan
ming exhibits on a larger and more
elaborate scale, and the building
should show a marked improvement
over a year ago.
Though only last year witnessed the
debut of the Mystic Order of Enakops,
it's opening bow being made on the
initial night of the Interstate fair,
that organization has fiourished like
Jim Hill mustard ever since, and has

which will be held in Spokane from
Sept. % to Oct. 5, as stated. Manager
Cosgrove was this year compelled to
add 10 acres to the ground allotted
to the display of machinery, and prac-
tically all of this space has already
been engaged by different firms which
will have working exhibits of a prac-
tical nature demonstrating the proper
use of the different kinds of farm ma
chinery.
The exhibit will be of an educational
nature and will no doubt attract a

ing the annual high jinks in front Of
the grandstand. The police depart
ment has arranged for a powerful
searchlight to be placed in the grand
stand and directed against the Ena-
kops, so that no fatalities are ex-
pected during the ceremonies. A cor
don of police will also guard visitors
in the grandstand, so that the pocket
picking proclivities of members of the
mystic order will be restrained.
The display of fireworks during the
carnival will be especially elaborate,
a number of expensive set pieces hav-
ing been arranged for. The commit
tee in charge of the arrangements is
now working overtime to complete all
details before the opening night, and
the best carnival ever is promised.
Of especial interest to farmers in
this section will be the display of farm
machinery at the Interstate fair,
