More than
$3.50 an Acre
from Grapes
On LaysOn Ranch. The Fine Fruit
Finds Ready Sale on Seattle
and Spokane Markets.

W. H. Layson, whose ranch is
about n mile and a half west of town
has three acre grape vineyard from
which he will market from five to six
hundred boxes of grapes, mostly of
the Concord variety. This last va
rlety is just ripening ready for mar
ketnow. He also has enrly varieties.
Moor's Early and Campbell's Early,
which have already been marketed
ami the supply OF these varieties is
now practically exhausted. He has
already shipped IS twenty-lb. boxes
to Seattle where he has been receiving
10 cents per Id. Commission men
promise that they can handle his en-
tire crop at not less than cents per
ID. The vines are three years old
and Will come into full bearing mat
urity by next year. Selling the pro-
duct at cents per pound will give Il
total return slightly in excess Of $3.50
or more than $3.50 per acre for the en-
tire acreage. This large return is
secured in spite OF the fact that the
lower end OF the vineyard was con-
siderably damaged by the frost OF
April 18th. This yield is very graft
flying to Mr.. Layson. as it was
thought at first that the entire crop
had been killed. Another year will
see many vineyards in the valley
come into bearing.

Government Reservoirs Opened

The reservoirs put in at Lake
kachelos and Lake Kaches, by the
government reclamation service last
winter. have stored water which Is
now being released to increase the
the flow in the Yakima river and give
d larger supply to the irrigation
canals.
Mayor Taylor of Prosser, Z. F. Ben
son and Albert Lynn. forming a dep
utatiOn representing the farmers and
business people of Benton county.
waited upon Supervising Engineer
Jacobs of the reclamation service
yesterday and asked if something
could not be done to increase the
flow of the Yakima river.
Mr.. Jacobs stated that the reser-
vOirs at Lake KachelOs and Lake
kaches had been opened and two in
ches of water had been turned from
each into the Yakima river. At the
rate of two inches per diem Mr. ia
cobs stated that the kaches reservoir
would last about p days and the
Kachelos reservoir about 40 days.
Mr.. Jacobs sent word last night to
the man in charge at Lake kaches
that another inch be turned into the
river. 1t is thought that this will
provide an abundant supply of water
for the ranchers of Benton County
who require the water for irrigation
and for the power plant of the Pros.
ser Falls company.

CONNECTICUT CLAM TANK EEs.

When President Grant told distin- guished politician of this State that he was a Connecticut clam Yankee neither the distinguished politician nor the Connecticut clam Yankees who heard of the incident felt flattered. The Connecticut clam Yankees of the present day will not feel flattered by Senator Butterworth's picture of the situation here now, which he describes as follows: "There is in Connecticut a long-lived group of little Yankee trad CTS whose business is politics, and they dicker in votes, offices and political pre- ferment. With them the public vel fare comes into consideration a poor last, if at all. A very large portion of those in public life in the State are involved as a result in politics unnec- essariIy petty. If the condition of poli- tics was robbed of it's unnecessary small and petty features many able men who now refuse to go into poli- tics on account of such conditions would be glad to enter public life and serve their State"
 While this is not flattering it is as true as preaching and more courageous than most preaching. The situation would be very discouraging if there were not some signs that Yankee trad- ing in politics in Connecticut is going to get a setback. Moro power to Sen ator Butterworth and to. those who, like him, would like to see better and broader state of things in Connecticut politics, and are willing to help bring it about.

nHArR11ArrD p01IrENEss.

It is already evident that belated po- likeness to the Governor isn't going to prevent pretty strenuous opposition to his recommendation that the Governor be given the power to appoint county commissioners and judges of the minor courts. It is also evident that the mo- ton that a Governor can and will make better selections than a caucus isn't any more popular in Connecticut than it has been. Appointments are always bound to be unsatisfactory to those who want them and don't get them They are bound to be unsatisfactory to those who believe or know that they were not made for good reasons of State They are also bound to be un- satisfactory when they are obviously bad. Governors are human-some of them quite so-and they don't invaria- bly, pick out men for appointment that some other men might pick out. So they give ground for the argument that the one-man power of appointment is no more high-toned or trustworthy than the many-men power. They also give ground for the argument that the conflict of many minds, many interests and many tongues is likely to be pro- ductive of as much that is good for the State as the pulling and hauling be- slowed on a single mind while it is making itself up, or resisting efforts to get it to change it's makeup.

THE USEFUL ptNrrENrrARrrs.

Things aren't all rosy ir Kansas, any more than they are in Connecti- cut. The editor of the Mankato Vest ern Advocate has been having experi- ence, or thinking, or both, and this is the result: About the only men who learn a trade any more are those who are sent to the penitentiary. The country is being imposed upon more and more every year by men who have not mastered the trade which they claim to understand. As soon as a young man can distinguish the differ- ence between a hand-saw and a jack plane he is carpenter" If he can tell mortar from pancake batter he is plasterer. If he can pick a paint brush out of pile where half of the bunch are whisk brooms he hangs up his sign as painter. If he can screw the lid on a fruit jar so it wont leak he is a plumber. If he can tell the difference between a shooting stick and a job-stick he is a printer, qualified to travel and receive wages as such.
 There is a good deal more truth than poetry in this complaint Trade schools are being operated in many places, and in time they may mitigate the situa- tion Until then perhaps the peniten- tiaries will have to continue to help us out.

from 1903 to 1907 it had risen to $14,00o,- 900. The increase, he remarked, was chiefly due to military expenditure. He expressed the hope that it will be possible to moderate a military pro gramme which, in his view, is not in complete harmony with the financial possibilities of the country There could, however, be no idea of inter rupting or postponing work necessary for the national security.

FRANCES FINANCIAL SITUATION

FRANCE'S FINANCIAL SITUATION
 M. Caillaux, French minister of finance, has been talking over the financial situation in France. He is
 impressed, he says, with the fact that
 in a period of commercial and indus- trial prosperity there should be diff
 culties over the budget. He thinks it
 is because advantage was not taken of
 the prosperity of the few years preced-
 ing the exhibition of 1900 to place the
 finances on a solid basis. The decrease
 in the revenue which followed the ex- hibition soon disappeared, and in 1903
 the receipts exceeded the expenditure,
 It is impossible to say how long this re- vival will last. Certain economists af- feet to see signs of an approaching period of depression. H0 hopes that they are mistaken. Otherwise the sit uation would be somewhat unfavorable,
 as the pendulum would be moving in
 the wrong direction when the financial
 condition was unstable. During the period of prosperity there had been considerable reductions of taxation,
 with an excessive increase of expendi-
 ture. The annual average increase of
 expenditure during 1893-98 was about $7OOO,OOO, from the latter date to 1903 it was about $S,oOO,oOO or $9,OOO,OOO, while

It is much rel ished, however, by soldiers, and any at- tempt to excluds it, especially in time of war, or on the march, or when troops are in the field, would be regard ed as harship. It is feared even that such decision would interfere with enlistment, because most men who woud enist would probably feel that they were subjected to excessive hard ship if deprived of their coffee.

The raw horehair used in the manu- fracture of haircloth for upholstering purposes is just now high priced in this country because of the situation which during and since the Russo Japanese war has prevailed in Russia, whence most of the hair comes The best of such cloth must have a certain width of weave, which depends upon the length cf the hairs, and in this respect the Russian horses are superior, having tails which sweep the ground. Much of the weaving is done in this country. For the narrower weaves of the cloth used by tailors in lining coats, the hair from American horses on the western plains is used.
