Profit in Small Farms.

That the small farm and the fruit
patch is, according to the amount
invested, by far the best paying pro-
position is demonstrated every year.
Here are a few instances which have
actually occurred right here this sea-
son. A Freewater gardener sold
days, 500 worth of strawberries
and $50 worth OF green peas. An
other man who had 1900 hens made
$4,000 clear in one year. Another
reports 5000 worth of pigs from one
SOW. Put all three of these on one
twenty-acre tract. to which could be
added several hundred dollars more
in other truck, and you have a result
which can be realized by any intelli-
gent operator. Get a little farm
and then nurse it: tend it carefully
and get all possible out of it without
abusing it, and bes ONE one of the

ter, Edna, whom it is reported has
eloped with Charles Rivers, rs years

man and rancher. He is heart
broken over the reported escapade of
his daughter and states that he will
search for her until she is discov-

Late Saturday evening, when Mr..
Lyons was returning from his work
in the wheat fields, he passed his
daughter. who appeared to be on her

YAKIMA LADIES IN GOTHAM.
One Writes Of Styles Worn by Ladies
of the Effete East.

The following extract is from a
letter from Mrs. Barbour of the
Rinehart-Barbour company, who,
with Mrs. Rinehart, is now in New
York buying a full line of all the
things most attractive to women:
There is only one New York and
with Paris it leads the world in
fashion, and it's worth while to cross
the continent to get the new fresh
ideas and to see all the latest crea-
lions in everything woman wears,
from the new short vamp shoe to
the elaborate headgear on top of her
head. We have been here three
days and so far have only been
looking at all the new novelties
the makers of fashion are showing.
We sent home bunch of pretty, at
tractive midsummer skirts which we
were accidentally able TO purchase
and sell at price that ought to
make every woman who sees them
sit up and take notice The fall
line of separate skirts which we eX-
pect to have ought to satisfy the
most fastidious. They are pretty
and no mistake. The plated skirts
are shown exclusively. They are
varied with folds or tucks put on
around the bottom either in clusters
or singly or in fancy designs. Hand
some dark mixtures and plain Pana-
ma and clothes and wolfe are used
and we are going TO have some of
each. This is a year when a lady
can consult her own taste and fig
ure in buying garments, for in suits
they are showing 1atty little tight
fitting coats, stylish cut semi-itting
coats. and short box coats. | have
an idea so far that the semi-fithng
coat will lead with those who wish
distinctive tailor made gown.
Fancy smart separate coats are be
ing shown and we intend TO get
some that will make the ladies in
Yakima look as up-to-date and well
dressed as the ladies in New Yorl;
and they are called the best dress
ers in the world, not excepting even
Paris.
| "Oh yes, we were near the big
gest importing house for combs in
the world. so went in TO look and
when we walked out we had left an
order for several hundred dollars
worth of the SWEETEST side and back
combs you ever saw. it's the same

SUNNYS|DE STOCK
INCREASED To
s1,950,0O0

At meeting of the stockholders
of the Sunnyside Water Users asso-
citation it has been decided to in
crease the capital stock from $780,
600 to s1,950,000.
A memorial to Secretary of the
Interior Garfield was read requesting
that the enlargement of the ditch,
the installation of pumping plants.
the watering of the Mabton flats,
and the extension OF the Sunnyside
canal be completed as soon as pos
sible; that a waste way into the
heart of the Sunnysde country which
would carry off the waste of the eau
al, its laterals and the seeping from
farm irrigation be constructed at
once: that the government build and
maintain laterals to each forty-acre
unit wherever the lands on laterals
belong to the water users associa?
ton without waiting for all the peo-
pie under the ditch to take govern
ment water right; that water be de-
livered to farmers on any given la
teral where they so desire it in ro-
tation, and that they do not, as at
present, arbitrarialiy required to
build separate laterals and take a
flow; that the farm unit
be made 100 acres, otherwise emf
grants from the prairie states will be
turned to Canada away from the gov
eminent projects, because there is
no profit in piling up large areas of
land for intensified farming, and
consequently no necessity of arbi-
trarilly reducing the farm unit, that
the water users association be al
lowed representation in the councils
of the reclamation service: that the
thigh line canal parallel and above
the Sunnyside canal, which has al;
ready been investigated and pro-
nounced feasible by numerous COM
panies, be taken up and constructed
by the government.
This is perhaps the largest body Of
choice orchard land in the whole
Northwest. If put under irrigation
its value can scarcely be foretold.

made astrip to Ellensburg yesterday
for the purpose of purchasing a
horse for the fire department. AZ

that it would not be fit for use in the

sold. The department is now one

ADDS MYSTERY
TO SUICIDE
CASE

COLORADO SPRINGS, Colo, July
30.-Amos R. Bumbaugh of Wash
ington, d. c., a close friend of Miss
Laura Matthews, who committed sui
eide near Broadmoor Sunday night,
added horror ana mystery to the
gruesome case by shooting himself
through the head this afternoon in
the same manner adopted by Miss
Matthews.
Rumbaugh killed himself in his
room at the Alta Vista hotel. The
hour when the fatal shot was fired
is not known is not known, as it was
not heard by anyone in the hotel,
and the deed was discovered only
when the officers went to the room
to ascertain why he had not re-
sponded to a subpoena to attend the
coroner's inquest over Miss Matth-
ews' body today.
That the act of Rumbaugh was the
direct result of the death of Miss
Matthews is not doubted. Rumbaugh
claimed to have but a chance &C.
quaintance with the girl, but 1t de-
velops he knew her in Chicago and
also knew G. A. Corey, wealthy
Chicagoan, and DR.. H. A. Thomas OF
the "101" ranch.
Rumbaugh was the one who &C.
companied Miss Green, Miss Matth-
ews' nurse to livery stable to see If
the actress horse had returned. 1t
was he who sent a telegram to Coey
demanding "he do the right thing"
by the girl, and it was with him Miss
Matthews left the letter in which was
enclosed letter to Coey.
The officers have not yet had time
to examine the Rumbaugh papers
and effects and the coroner had his
room locked. If Rumbaugh did not
destroy the letter left by Miss Matth-
ews, together with letter to
Coey, it is believed they will show
startling facts that may entangle
many people of prominence. A tele-
gram sent by Rumbaugh to Coey
Monday morning taken in the light
of the suicide has more meaning
than before 1t follows: Laura
committed suicide on account of you.
The letters are left behind. Send
$500 at once for expenses"
Public officers say the letter
shows Rumbaugh knew Coey well
enough to speak to him of Laura
and threaten him.
Rumbaugh's death is momentarily
expected. Two brief notes are all
that explain his act. One to his
mother says there Is nothing to say
and asks his body be laid away to
rest. The other is to whom it may

NO PAINT MAY
MEAN NEW
DEPOT

Local railroad men deduce from
calling off of gang of painters
the theory that the erection of a
new depot in North Yakima is a GER
tainty.
Recently the painters car with a
large gang of men arrived in North
Yakima and started in the work of
painting the depot. About half Of
the old paint was scraped from the
structure when an order was receiv-
ed transferring the men to Ethiopia,
a small station.
1t is stated that the move is a
most peculiar one and that in all
probability painting of the depot
would have been completed If a new
building was not in sight.
