LACK OF LABOR.
Governor Mead Informs Irrigation

Governor Mead has informed Ter
ence V. Powderly, special agent of
the bureau of immigration, there Is 4
demand form farmers and mechanics
in all parts of Washington This in
formation is conveyed in answer to q
circular letter from Powderly asking
information to enable the federal
government to formulate some plan
for locating the increasing number
of immigrants in states where they
are needed
1.-THE demand for work is chiefly
in the eastern part of the state"
says Governor Mead, land all kinds
of laborers are needed in other parts
of the state. All classes are needed,
but the chief demand is for railroad
laborers and farm hands. Men are
also wanted in cities who are skilled
in building trades, especially in Sc
attic, Spokane, North Yakima and
Tacoma. Single men are wanted
especially for steel construction.

Governor Mead does not indicate
the number of settlers and mechan-
les needed, but says the demand is
good.
1.-The state wants more settlers
and small farmers" he says, "and
immigrants from Northern Europe
are preferred.
The information regarding Oregon
is furnished by the commissioner OF
labor. He is not specific in his ans
wers. but says settlers and mech anics
are needed everywhere All classes
of labor are needed, married or sin

SHIPPING FRUIT.
Taylor Has Plan for Long Distance
Shipms ITS.

Peaches, oranges and other fruits,
which are shipped long distances will
reach their destinations in much bet
ter condition in the future, If William
A. Taylor has his way. Taylor is the
pomologist in charge of field investi-
cations, department of agriculture.
Through his initiative, Uncle Sam Is
now constructing at Chicago a re-
frigerating machine on wheels, which
is expected to accomplish not little
for fruit shipments.
Taylor and his assistants have
found out that the best way to ship
fruit is to thoroughly cool it before
allowing it to go OIL the road. Thus
far in the experir ents it has been !.
necessary to load the fruit and haul
it to a cold storage plant. But the
plants were frequently at some dis
lance, and meanwhile the fruit de-
Perforated.
This difficulty will be met, Taylor
believes, by the refrigerating car.
Upon the car is an oil-burning en-
CINE, refrigerating plant which OPP
crates by the ammonia process ami
system of fans for forcing blasts
of cold air through cars Of fruit.
The refrigerating car will be put
next to car loaded with fruit and
the cold blasts will be sent through
the fruit car for some twenty-four
hours. Then the car containing the
fruit will be iced ar d sent on its way
rejoicing.
The refrigeratmg car will first be
tried in the shipment of oranges, as
that is the problem upon which Tay-
lor and his assistants are now direct
ly engaged. But the expectation is
to apply the same treatment to the.
shipment OF peaches and other fruits.
when the opportunity comes.
The principles upon which the
work is now done applies pretty fully
to all of the fruits which are likely
to be spoiled in transit. and the ex-
pc, tation is that Uncle Sam will be-
able to show fruit growers how they
can safely leave peaches on the trees.
three or four days longer than they,
are now doing.
That this is within the possibili-
ties has been developed in the course.

SCHOOL
IMPROVEMENTS

Besides the Wholesale changes
and building in the school houses OF
North Yakima, Yakima county
schools in several districts are being
enlarged or new ones are being
erected.
In Zillah a two-story building is
under erection. The two stories in
clude the addition of three rooms on
the upper floor of the old structure
and remodeling of the lower floor,
furnishing six large, comfortable,
well ventilated and lighted rooms.
With the remodeling it means :.
practically new building. Four
teachers have been employed in that
district and it is probable another
will be added the coming school
year.
At Outlook two rooms are being
added to furnish sufficient room for
the children of the rapidly growing
community. The school, when the
additions are made, will be a modern
one and where five teachers were
previously employed, the trustees
have decided to employ six.
AS previously stated, School Sec
ton will either erect a new building
or so extensively enlarge the old one
it will be practically new. Two
teachers will be employed instead of
one.
Wide Hollow is contemplating the
erection of a thol oughly modern and
lp-todate building, although no
definite move has been decided upon.
Two teachers will probably be en-
ployed. 1t is stated that the old
building is inadequate to the district,
which constantly grows and which is
in a most prosperous condition. Wide
Hollow is considered as wealthy d
district as there is in the county and
present indications are that new
school will be constructed.
District No. 50, new district ly-
ing five miles east of Sunnyside, will
build a school house this year. Here
tofore the children of that section
were compelled to attend school in
other districts. One teacher will be
employed for the first year
Joint district No. 1, including a
portion of Yakima and portion of
Benton counties, is building a hand
some new structure and will add one
teacher, making two. The plans and
bids are in for this building and it
will be erected as rapidly as possible.
In addition to these marked i'm
provements in several districts,
minor improvements and changes are
being made. The smaller education
al districts of Yakima county are
still growing rapidly and the schools
throughout the county are reported
to be in most flourishing condition.
County Superintendent Jacobson
las proved to be a most able man for
the position and under his direction
the entire school system Of the coun-
ty has reached a condition never at
tanned before.

FILED
District Attorney Baker Files
Charges Against Jackson
and Montgomery
BASED ON THE PRELIMINARY

District Attorney Robert v. Baker
this morning filed in the Circuit Court
the information in the cases of the
State of Wisconsin VS.. Frank L,
Jackson and Shelly Montgomery and
it is said that some disposition will be
made of the two cases before the end
of the present term of the Circuit
Court. On account of the fact that
the information was not filed at the
opening of the term it was thought
possible that the cases would be con-
tinued for the term, but the district
attorney is anxious not to have any
cases carried over and it is thought
that the cases will be disposed of in
some manner. The district attorney
stated yesterday that the cases would
be taken up about Oct. 81 and that he
hoped to dispose of them in some man
ner at that time.
The information is not the same as
the charges made against the men IN
the preliminary hearing in that the
alleged perjury in both cases is based
on the testimony given by Jackson
and Montgomery before McCarron IN
the hearing held to determine whether
or not warrant should be issued for
the arrest Of Edward Collier on a
charge of manslaughter in connection
with the killing of William Dreyer.
Neither Jackson nor Montgomery
has been called into court to plead to
the information, and it is not thought
that they will be asked to enter any
plea until the cases are called for
trial before a jury. In the meantime
it is possible that the information
may be changed to another charge
and the two men be allowed 70 enter
plea of guilty on that charge.
