STANDARD FINED
s29,24O,00O

CHICAGO, Aug. 3.-Judge Lam
dis today in the United States dis
trict court fined the Standard Oil
company of Indiana $29,24O,000 for
violation of the law against accept
ing rebates from railroads.
The fine is the largest ever assess
ed against any individual or corpor-
ton in the history of American juris-
prudence. The case will be carried
to higher courts by the defendant
company. The penalty imposed is
the maximum permitted under the
law and it was announced at the end
of long opinion in which the meth
DDS and practices of the Standard
Oil company were mercilessly scored.
The Judge in fact declared it his
opinion that officials of the Standard
who were responsible for practices
of which the corporation was found
guilty were no better than counter
feiters and thieves, his exact Ian
guage being: 1--WE may as we'll look
at this situation sq1arely. The men
who thus deliberately violate this
law wound society more deeply than
does he who counterfeits coin or
steals letters from the mail. The
nominal defendant is the Standard
Oil company of IIdiana, a million
dollar corporation. The Standard Oil
company of New eJrsey whose CAPT
tai is 100000 is the defen-
dant."
Judge Lands stated the demands
of justice require that the facts dis
closed in the proceedings be submit.

morning of August IA, be drawn.
Under seven indictments still
pending against the Standard Oil
company an additional fine amounting
to $SS,440,000 may pc levied
against the company if it is found
guilty of trial. There are in these
seven indictments total of 4.422
and a maximum fine of each count
of $4,000.

MILWAUKEE BOOSTS.
sentinel Tells of Yakima Valley and
Its Projects.

The Milwaukee Sentinel recently
published an article on reclamation
work in the west and speaks of the
Yakima valley as follows
Far to the north of Arizona is the
wonderful Yakima valley in Wash
ington. This valley is the rival of
the rich Redlands and Riverside Of
southern California, and TO those
who find perpetual summer ener-
waiting. it is without an equal. 4
country where apple orchards yield
$500 an acre and where hops bring
from $500 to 5000 an acre is a good
country for agrieulturists, and it is.
little wonder that Yakima orchard
lands sometimes sell as high as $4,000
an acre or even more.
In this valley the federal reclama-
ton service is spending s13, 700
for canals, bitches and storage dams.
This work will give the necessary
water to 400 900 acres of land which,
with an assured water supply, will
be worth fortunes All of this land
will be reserved for the actual home
seeker. No great companies can
gather it in, for it will be sold only
to actual homesteaders in small farm
units, probably 40 or so acres, GER
tainly not more than 100 acres. The
projects in this valley will take some
years to complete, and in the mean
time workingman seeking a home
has an opportunity to earn high
wages on the construction works.

HEADQUARTERS

North Yakima will probably be
the state headquarters for the Fra
ternal Tribunes, one of the strong
fraternal orders in the east, which is

who has been made Washington
state organizer, and who has been in
the city for several days and has con-
sidered such a plan at the suggestion
OF Secretary Zuppann OF the pub
Lefty committee.
The Fraternal Tribunes is an or
der founded on similar lines to the
Woodmen, United Workmen and 9TH
or fraternal insurance societies, en-
bodying new features It has in
surance benefits in death, accident
and old age and has already paid out
nearly $450,000 il benefits
Robert Rexdale, supreme seere-
tary of the order, is expected in
North Yakima in short time from
Rock Island, H., to formally organ
ize the local lodge and at that time

Still Searching.

Many Sunnyside residents are still
convinced that H. E. Nicolai, who
disappeared some weeks ago, has
met with foul play. No trace of him
has been found and the mystery of
his sudden disappearance isas much
mystery as ever. Some of his
friends persist in the theory that he
has been murdered because of his
anti-saloon activities. They scout
the theories that he is in Alaska ;
that he is insane or that he left
home voluntarily They say that
these stories are circulated to furth-
er confound the mystery. Open ac-
cusations are being made now
against men here suspected of
Nicolai's murder

MCKEE VALLEY
CROPS ARE GOOD

Crop conditions in the Mckee val
ley are excellent Is the report, al
though the fruit crop on that section
will be rather light. G. l.. Hixson,
one of the well known ranchers of
the valley, was in the city Saturday.
Men are busy with the second
cutting of hay" he stated. I'VE
have plenty of help and the crops
are looking fine. Two steam balers
are kept busy in the valley handling
the first crop and it believed the two
will be able to take care of the crop
nicely, although the second crop will
be much larger aud will require
more men.
THE rain and hail storm of Fri
day night did no damage as far as
Know. We had an excellent shower,
however, and rather brisk little
hail storm.
Fruit will be scarce in our Sec
ton. We will have no peaches to
speak of. Apples and pears will not
be so bad, although the apples were
rather hard hit. But we are proud
of our grapes. They never looked
better and there is every promise OF
a great grape production for this
year. Take it all around the Mckee
valley is appearing to the best adj
vantage and everyone in our section
will make money this year as usual

MEN QUITTING
NORTH COAST

President Strahorn of the North
Coast Railway company has made
the statement that progress is being
made with the surveys and grades
of his company. Engineers in the
field are working north from Walla
Walla to a point near Ritzville,
where the branch will join the main
line. Said Mr.. Strahorn: Grading
is almost completed from Kennewick
to point near the heart of the
Yakima valley.
suits concerning right of way
along the Northern Pacific line which
have been in court for year will
probably be settled some time in
September or October. If the cases
are not appealed to the United
States supreme court have materially
delayed the work of the company.
AT present the contractors are
having trouble holding men. The
heat in the Yakima valley is very
oppressive and laborers are leaving
their places for work with the Mil
waukee, either in tie Cas-, ade or Bit
ter Root mountains, where the tenn
perature is consid arably cooler. La
ter in the year laborers will again
seek work in the valley, where II
is pleasant during the winter
months"

GROCERS TO MEET.
Several Important Matters Will Come
Up i'm Seattle.

For the first time in five years the
state association of retail grocers will
hold its annual state convention in
Seattle on September 1919. The
meeting will be attended by John A..
Green. secretary of the National
Grocers' association, and Fred Mason
of New York, former national secre-
tary. Secretary ]. J. Higgins ex-
poets that there may be between $50
and 200 delegates present. There
are fourteen associations in the state,
all of which may send representa-
tives.
Mr.. Higgins states that the mat
ters of unusual interest to come up
are the question of the mail order
house, the matter of premium giving
and that some steps will probably be
taken by the state association tow
ard getting an amendment to the
clause of the national pure food law
IClcIIlHS W WCiSbNo anu lh0uSui S''
The Seattle association wants the
law amended that net weights and
measures shall be stamped on all
package goods.
The pure food law becomes effect
i've Oct. l and considerable discus
sion along this liz e is looked for.
The state pure food commissioner
will be present and make an address.
A banquet will be rendered the
visiting delegates and speakers. d.
C. Powers, who acted as POSTMASTER
at the grocers' banquet last Novem-
Der, will act in the same position at

"Back of Seattle there is a nat
ural irrigated agricultural and fruit
country that is so fertile that the
farmers are coming to Seattle to
spend their winters and their mon
ey,' says the Saturday Evening Post.
They raise apples and peaches and
berries on some Of that irrigated
land so perfect it seems a shame TO
eat them. They raise pretty nearly
everything else, too. Much of the
prosperity of Seattle is due to the
eastern Washington farmers. The
amount OF money they make is fabu-
lous for that sort or endeavor You
hear stories of clearing nine hun
dred dollars an acre or more on Or
chards. They are true stories, too.
And when the thrifty eastern
farmer, or the man from the Yakima
or some of the other irrigated coun-
try, gets in with his money he
catches the spirit. Generally, he
builds a row of houses or a fiat
building or store, and gets the
rents. Like everybody else in the
place, he gets it both ways.
HE catches them coming and GO

For it gives strength to the sick folk
And makes the "lungers" strong.

In wyoming and its grand mountains
There, yes there is "1ife!'
Life is on its ranches,
