GROWN APPLES
FORTY YEARS
WILEY TREES PLANTED IN 1868
Spokane Proposes to Honor the Orig
inal Fruit Growers of Northwest
This Section Interested.

Honors are to be given by the Ma
tional Apple Show at Spokane to
the first fruit growers of the Pacific
Northwest, and the fact that there
are residents in the Yakima valley
who have been growing fruit for the
last 40 years or more makes the an
nouncement of much local interest.
Exactly when the fruit industry
was started in the Yakima country
has never been fully established. but
1t is known that the Wiley ranch
trees, in the Ahtanum valley, were
planted in 1868, forty years ago, and
that there we're trees in bearing then
in the same valley.
]. ]. Wiley and Wallace Wiley.
who assisted in the planting of these
apple trees, are residents of the All
tanum valley and North Yakima.
]. p Marks and L. D. Morris plant
ed orchards in the Ahtanum in the
early '70s, and D. F.. Lesh had the
first large commercial orchard when
he bought property in Fruitvale in
1887 and planted additional acreage
to fruit Some of this orchard, now
divided in about FIVE ranches, was
set In 1882.

MOTHER GETS BOY
MRS. GEORGE L. STONE
GETS BOY BY COURT ORDER
Father Makes No Defense and Judge
Preble Grants Custody Tues
day Morning.

Mrs George T. Stone of Lemhi
county, Idaho. was given custody and
possession of her five year old son
on Tuesday morning by Judge Preble
in the superior court, the father, who
has been in possession of the child
for a year, making no defense in the
case Attorneys Lynch & Grady rep
resented the mother, and presented
the evidence.
She claimed that her husband de-
serted her, taking the child from the
Idaho home. and that she had been
unable to locate father and son for
a year. when she finally located them
in North Yakima. The child. she
said, had been Ill and in need of a
mothers care. Mrs. Stone had been
granted a divorce in the Idaho
courts. and custody of the child was
granted her in this decree. This rul-
ing from Idaho, however, had nc
bearing on the local case. and the
case was tried on the merits OF
whether the mother or the father
was the best person to have the care
of the infant. Judge Preble's de-
cree was that the mother should be
given the child.

can not deny them great credit for
their foresight and industry It is

Exhibits for the national apple
show have already begun to arrive,
the management having arranged for
free cold storage accommodations in

already from British Columbia and
from different sections of the north

been made in various contests at the

Through the efforts of Senator

that the duty on exhibits from Brit

partment of agriculture will furnish

lowing is an announcement of plans
made in Spokane:
Designed to furnish electric light
and power to a chain of cities in the
Yakima valley from North Yakima to
Kennewick and to operate the num-
bers of irrigation plants which have
been and will be established in that
territory, the Yakima Valley Power
company of Spokane now has under
construction a 90-mile high-tension
line extending from its power plant
on the Naches river near Yakima to
Pasco. The company, of which Rob-
ert E. Strahorn, president of the
North Coast railroad, is the head, has
purchased the power systems in Ken
newick and Pasco in the last few
months and will furnish power for
thhose cities as soon as the line is
completed. The line is designed to
convey 10000 electric horsepower
From the plant to Pasco is 90 miles
and the total length of the line will
be 100 miles when various branches
to nearby towns are built.
The plant of the Northwest Light
and Water compan., located on the
Naches river 10 miles above Yakima,
will furnish the power. The Yakima
Valley Power company is a holding
company organized for the construc-
ton of the high-tension line. In ad-
dition to the water power steam
plants with an aggregate capacity of
5000 horsepower are being estab-
lished and these will be enlarged to
duplicate the capacity of the water
power.
Plan Substations.
Substations on the line will be es-
tablished at Toppenish, Granger,
Grandview, Mabton, Wapato, Kiona,
Kennewick and Pasco. To carry the
current across the Columbia river be-
tween Kennewick and Pasco heavy
three-strand cable 5000 feet long en-
cased in lead will be sunk to the bot
tom Of the stream. The main line
will be of aluminium wires on So
foot poles. The company will also
carry its own private telephone line
on the same poles.
With the purchase OF the electric
lighting and water works plants at
Kennewick and Pasco the company
acquired contract to furnish 1000
horsepower to the Northern Pacific
Irrigation company, which has a
5000-acre tract near Kennewick.
As the men who are behind the
company consider that power re-
quirements in the Yakima valley will
soon be greater than the present ca
pacity Of the plant Of the Yakima
Valley Power company plans have
been made for large increase Of It's
water power development in the near
future on scale to keep pace with
the demands. The present capital Of
the company Is 100000. It's off,
GERS are Robert e. Strahorn, presi-
dent; R. ]. Danson, vice president,
and A. G. Smith, secretary and
treasurer. The company is owned
and officcered by the same men as
the Northwest Lighth and Power
company.
It's contracts call for a delivery Of
ligt and power at Kennewick and
Pasco by April i. 1909, but the COM
pany expects to have 1t steam power
plant with capacity Of 1000 horse
power in commission at Kennewick
in thirty days.
