ccording to the National Stockman.

According to the National Stockman,
the demand for pork this year has as
tonished even the most sanguine friends
of the hog. Both fresh and cured meats
have been taken In large volume right
along at prices which were so high that
they were expected to check consump-
ton. There are three reasons why this
condition has existed and still exists.
First is the prosperity of the South, a
large consumer of cured meats. The
southern trade was never larger than 1t
is to-day. Next is the growing foreign
trade, which, like our own, seems to
proceed regardless of prices and, final
ly, the people of this country have
learned to eat bacon.

HOW THEY sQUIRMED.
Great Times When Children Had TO
Take Old-Fashioned Cod Liver
Oil and Emulsions.

You had to bride them, hold their
noses, in fact go through a regular
circus to get them to take it.
That was years ago, before the
two eminent French chemists. Nor
CUES and Gautier, discovered how TO
separate the medicinal elements Of
the Gods liver from the useless, nau-
seating oil, and produced Vinol.
Vinol is not patent medicine but
a real cod liver preparation contain
ing in a highly concentrated form
all of the bodybuilding, strength
creating elements of cod liver oil ac-
tually taken from fresh Gods livers,
with all the useless oil eliminated ami
tonic iron added. 1t tastes fine and
children love it. Wherever old-fash-
toned cod liver oil or emulsions will
do good, vinol will do far more good.
Our local druggist, Fred L. jan
eek, says: 1T is because We know
so we'll of what Vinol is made that
We ask every mother who has 2
weak, delicate or ailing child. and
in fact every rundown, debiiitated
aged or weak person in North faki-
ma. and every person suffering from
stubborn colds, hanging-on coughs
or bronchitis to try Vinol on our
offer TO return their money If it
fails" Fred l.. Janeck, druggist.
NOTE-While We are sole agents
for vinol in North Yakima, II is now
for sale at the leading drug store in
nearly every town and city in the
country. Look for the Vinol agency
in your town.

many who have ruled great empires
CD he has done more than anyone
to make the United States the fore
most nation Of the world, and has
incidentally made himself the most
famous man living; CD no argument
has been brought forward for re-
jecting his services except an ancien,

Workingmen in France Want to

PARIS, April Violently word

ton Of the government in refusiny
permission to state employees to form

The recent orders Of Sanitary In
speetor G. o. Merwin have met with

The orders relative to the numer.
Gus different kinds of garbage re-

NATCHEz AVE. TO
Be BEAUTY SPOT
TO LEAD the NORTHWEST
Proposed Changes to Be Made i'm the
City Streets When Paw.
ing Comes.

A much more beautiful system of
streets is promised by w. B. Chase
of Portland, who is making plans
and estimates for the paving of Ger.
tain portions of North Yakima, which
district will be named later.
Natchez avenue, states Mr.. Chase,
will be one of the most beautiful
streets in the northwest. Two 24-foot
roadways, with parking in the Gen.
ter and handsome broad curbs. This
will be a boulevard Of which any
city could be proud.
The city council has affirmed the
request of Mr.. Chase for a 2.S per
cent grade on Yakima avenue. This
is slightly contrary to the original
plan of the city, but Mr.. Chase states
that he can practically cut the ex-
pense in half and at the next meet
ing of the council an ordinance will
be passed allowing it, according to
present plans. In the meanwhile Mr.
Chase will go ahead with his new
plans relative to the grade.
Mr.. Chase will commence making
his estimates on the quantities for
everything east of Front street ex-
cepting the cutters. In changing
the drainage system Mr.. Chase's
plans will be to use no syphons In
the alleys. He is arranging to have
the water carried straight without a
drop. The drop, he claims, catches
dirt and is generally unsatisfactory.
The catch basins will be planned for
local conditions. Larger pipes will
be used on Yakima avenue, with no
more than two-inch drop.
On Fourth street the width of the
paved part has been reduced to 5S
feet, with border curbs.
Sixth street will De reduced to 46
feet, with border curbs.
Mr.. Chase states that someone will
have to pay for steel bridges over
the bitches. These will be erected
with reinforced concrete. According
to tn plans of Mr.. Chase the Union
Ditch will have to be changed at
Sixth street so that it crosses the
street at right angles instead of with
a long diagonal as at present. Mr..
Chase will commence making plans
and specifications on the east sida
of Front street. Mr.. Chase states he
has had talks with property owners
who will be effected by the change, or
rather the principal property owner,
and he has expressed himself favor
ably regarding the proposition.

IN FAR OFF BOSTON.
Conroy Bought Apples Which
Brought Him.

James V. Conroy, a friend o.
President Strahorn of the Nortf
Coast railway, was in Granger from
Boston, Mass. Mr.. Conroy wa:
there with desire to see the valley
that raises such excellent apples a.
he saw displayed in Boston.
While waiting at the South Sta.
ton, Boston, for a train west he
stepped across the street to large
grocery store, and. noticing some fine
Spitzenburg apples, he purchased
several at cents each, and the gro
ceryman gave him the card on which
is printed yakima Valley Apples
and the guarantee and name Of the
grower, E. l.. Stewart.
Arriving in Spokane, Mr.. Conroy
expressed desire to visit the Yak
ina valley, where they grow such
delicious apples" and was taken in
carriage through the valley by G.
E. Woods, general right-of-way agent
for the North Coast. They stopped
at Mr.. Stewards orchard. and Mr.
Conroy produced the card given him
by the groceryman in Boston. Mr..
Conroy was shown the Stewart or
chard and many others equally as
good, and as a consequence he is
very enthusiastic over the raising
of apples that command as high a
price as oranges in the Eastern mar
kets.
