FIX WAPATO BRIDGE
PARKER RESIDENTS ARE
CIRCULATING PETITION
Ask County Commissioners to Have
the Bridge Rcplanked Before
Fruit Hauling.

Residents of Parker are circulating
a petition in that district asking the
county commissioners to have the
bridge to Wapato over the Yakima
river repaired and replanked imme-
diately in order that there will be no
damage to the fruit taken in wagons
over the bridge.
The petitions say that the bridge
planl1ing is in such condition that
heavy traffic might endanger the
flooring, and either stop traffic on the
bridge or cause considerable incon-
venience. Even under present condi-
tons there would probably be loss
through the damage to the fruit by
jolting and Earring, as the bridge is
very rough.
The petition will be before the COM
missioners at their next session. to
open on Monday, and ii is anticipated
that nearly every rancher in the
Parker district will have his name
attached TO the list.

POWER CANAL WORK
STARTS|N YAKIMA CANYON
EAST SELAH COMPANY
BEGINS HUGE TUNNEL
Development of Immense Power for
Watering Pomona Heights
and Other Purposes.

Actual construction work has COM
menced on the great power canal of
the East Selah Land & Development
company, a project involving building
of canal two and half miles long
and tunneling through solid rock for
a quarter of mile in the Yakima
canyon.
In some respects, the canal pre-.
sents some of the most interesting en-.
cheering problems that have ever
been considered in this district. It
passes along the west side of the mar.
row gorge, through a section where
there are numerous loose rock slides
and little soil. 1t is not improbable
that the engineers will find it neces-
sary to have the canal lined with con-
crete in order to retain head of
water without endangering the canal.
A large force of men has started
the excavations at the tunnel loca-
ton with view of opening the por-
tails and starting the first drillings.
The engineers believe the tunnel can
be completed some time during the
winter.
During the summer large force
of men will be employed on the open
canal construction, and in the fall the
building of the power plant will be
started. This power plant will not
only supply electrical energy for
pumping purposes for the Pomona
Heights project, butt he promoters
propose to sell the power for other
purposes. The Pomona Heights dis
trict is located on the east side of the
river in the East Selah, and contains
some of the finest raw land in the
Yakima valley. The main canal for
irrigating this district and several Of
the laterals have been constructed
and promise made of water to be
delivered in April, 1909.

Americans On Guard.

WASHINGTON June So.-The
American military forces are now in
service for enforcement of neutrality
laws along the Mexican border. The
employment of American troops for
this purpose is almost without prece-
dent in recent years and legal ad-
visors of the war department have
been Obliged to give close study to
determine the extent to which they
may exercise power of preventing per-
sons from entering the United States
from Mexico. Except in the cases If
Chinese and Japanese about the only
grounds of detention of fugitives
crossing the line will be some viola
tion of the immigration or health
laws. Thus it will be a delicate task
for the army officers to avoid clashes
with the civil courts II they under
take promiscuous arrests. All
agencies of the government are being
Bonded to prevent any substantial aid
being given the Mexican sympathizers
across the border

Gray Probable
Ru....~::''+: ,;,:,.y !.ate For
The "Peerless One"

DENVER. June 0.--Although
candidates for nomination for vice
president are numerous and despite
the fact their number is likely to be
increased before the choice is actual
~ made, it Is the general opinion If
Judge Gray of Delaware will declare
his willingness to accept the second
place on the ticket he can have it.
Josiah Marvel Of Wilmington, Del,
manager of the Gray presidential
campaign, will not, however, give his
consent. He insists that the Dele
ware man is candidate for first place.
If 1t is settled he can not have first
place it will be ample time to place
him in running for the second posi-
ton, provided he cares to take it..
Marvel declares Gray will be satisfied
with nothing less than the head If
the ticket. 1t is we'll known Bryan
would be pleased TO have Gray for
running mate, and the only thing
that prevents the latter from becom-
ing the leading candidate for the po-
sition is the simple but all powerful
fact that he will not declare himself
candidate at all Gray's boom was
formally launched today and head
quarters opened in Savoy hotel.
Johnson headquarters will not be
opened for several days, and the date
on which Bryan banners will be
thrown out has not yet been deter
mined but it will be Saturday or
Monday.

fight in the resolutions committee and

Dark and deserted the restricted

to interfere. The residents of that
section were aware that the council

Mexican Revolution
Rapidly Develops

Ell PASO, June 30.-The first rev.
dictionary action in Mexico outside of
Coahuila occurred this morning at
o'clock. when a garrison at the Palo-
mas, 20 miles west of here, was at
tackled by band of so men who were
repulsed with the loss of one killed
and one captured. The attack began
by the throwing of bomb into a
telegraph office, thus shutting off
communication with outside points.
In the fighting several hundred shots
were fired and many bombs were
fired at the headquarters of the Of
ficers. Owing to the fact that the
bombs were i'll timed officers were
able to throw them away before they
exploded, thus saving the building
and their own lives.
One of the revolutionists was seri-
ously injured and captured He
speaks good English and the authori-
ties believe he is from New Mexico
1t is reported that an attack is
planned for tonight at Guadeloup,
Chichauhau, so miles east of Ell
Paso.

ton over the anti-injunction plank
Word has come from Lincoln that
Bryan Is in favor of a plank of a
somewhat radical nature. and it is
certain that such men as Sullivan of
Illinois and Taggert Of Indiana are
strongly opposed to it. 1t is well
known that there is no love lost be-
tween Bryan and Sullivan and other
influential members of the Illinois
delegation and reports are circulated
If anti-injunction is adopted it is
more radical than the Illinois people
approve, and that shey will break
away from the Bryan instructions
when it comes to balloting for presi-
dent.
Forces opposed to radical labor
plank were strengthened by the ar
rival of Charles c. Heifner of the
state of Washington. Heifner says
the Pacific coast is opposed to the
adoption of the plank proposed at
the Chicago convention by Samuel
Gompers. He says that the adoption
of such a plank would be slap to
union labor which would be repug-
nant to voters geerally; it would be
to promise something no law-making
body would be willing to fulfill and
would injure the chances of the
Democratic ticket at the polls.
Heifner's announcement, together
with the announcement that Martin
W. Littleton of New York is coming
to fight such a plank, and that New
England and New Jersey are also an
tagonistic to such resolution makes
this question the most important I'M
der discussion.

WILL BUY SCHOOL COAL.

Six bids for the supplying TO coal
and fuel supplies for the schools were
received Monday evening at the regu-

Action was postponed until the next
meeting.
Reports were received regarding
the progress on the high school
building and on the addition to the
Summit View school. Rapid pro-
gress is being made on both struc-
lures, the brick work on the high
school having been placed as high as
the second story window tops.

HEAT HELPS FRUIT
RANCHERS ARE GLAD
TO HAVE HOT WEATHER
First Peaches and ApricOts Will BE
On the Market In Ten
Days.

Hot weather is being welcomed by
hundreds of fruit growers of the
Yakima valley, who find that the
warm days are developing the fruit
rapidly and that they will soon have
their crops on the market. Cool
weather caused a slack in the straw
berry and cherry crops, but if the
warm days continue for another
week there will be early and heavy
crops of fine apricots, peaches and
pears. The apples will also be bene-
flied.
w. l.. Wright the big fruit grower
of Fruitvale and Naches valley, says
that the first apricots and peaches
from the Yakima orchards will be on
the market about July 10. This is
five or six days later than in 1907,
and the difference is accounted for by
the backward summer. The districts
near North Yakima will have the
heaviest crop of peaches, apricots and
pears ever known in this section, and
apples are loaded down far more
than last year.
This situation does not prevail in
every district of the Yakima valley
but in Parker there will be much the
same condition. Zillah and Sunny
side districts will not have heavy
peach crops. though there will be a
fair yield.
w. P. Sawyer of Parker was in the
city yesterday, and he said that in two
weeks or less the heavy movement Of
fruit from that section will COM
mence. The crop promises to be bet
ter and larger than ever.

he will be the next Democratic
candidate for the Presidency.
Indeed so sure do his friends feel
of his nomination that they seom
to be laying on their oars and

Bryan's radical ideas and not his

the folly of these, and tine plat

his making a great run.
To the writer's mind the very
fact that he advocated these

his prospects of becoming Presi-

strong convictions and remark
