been marketed and while q number
of car loads OF fruit that had been
shipped south and east for sale had
not received any returns he did not
think that the union would come out
any in the hole and that he thought
that they would split about even.
Manager samson spoke about the
advisibiliy OF taking other fruit for
sale. as the union was under a large
expense for the men hat they hired
and for the running expenses for cold
storage He stated that he thought
that by taking other fruit they could
keep all the men busy and thereby
make the running expenses about
the same while a larger amount of

Resolutions were passed commend

CASE IS SETTLED
CELEBRATED AHTANUM
CONTROVERSY IS HISTORY
Reach Amicable Agreement In Fa-
nous Case of the Indians and

Tile agreeHent bet weeu The United
states government and he commits
tee OF tie Ahtanum ranchers for the
division Of the water OF the creek
between the rauchegS and the Indi-
ans ana : distribution having re-
csived tie o X OF Secretary Garfield,
has been signed by both parties. The
agreement gives the white ranchers
three-fourths Of the natural flow.
while the Indians get the remaining
on-fourth OF the FLOW. This is a lit
tie different from the first offer made
Secretary Garfield in that he offered
the ranelers two-thirds. while the
Indians were to receive one-third of
he how Of the creek
The agreement provides for the
appointment Of often tenders and the
erection Of head.ates which may BE
locked 30 that the water users may
receive their respective amount II
water from the creek.
The matter Of the water rights
having now been settled the cases
that have been pending in the court
for some time past will be annulled,
and it is probable not another case
Of this nature will come up between
the Indians and the white ranehers.
The settlement Of the water rights
will undoubtedly boost the value OF
the land in the Ahtanum and the

come one of the most productive
around North Yakima.

That the prohibitionists would be
in possession of the White House IL
1912 was the prediction made by
Clinton Howard, prohibition orator
from Rochester, \. Y, in an address
to 1909 persons who assembled in
the Yakima theatre. The speech
was the uphill ush for the prohi-
bition campaign in Washington,
which is expected to aid the anti-sa-
loon league in landing the state in
the water wagon column.
DR.. I. Z. Webb had been selec ed
by the local committee as chairman
of the convention and introduced the
speaker to an audience which was
vigorous in its applause.
Howard launched directly into his
subject of "A Ride on the Water
Wagon" by declaring that the saloon
men see that the Water Wagon
Limited is approaching and they are
trying to get out of the road.
He declared that the saloon keep
ers had been frightened by the &C.
ton of the people and were cleaning
house, but advised the audience that
this was only deception and that
If the sentence of death on the sa-
loon was suspended. they will go
back 10 their old tricks again"
They are beginning to quote
scripture" he said, "and are saying:
What must | do to be saved and
we answer them in the word of the
scripture. The harvest is past, the
summer is ended. the saloon business
can't be saved"
The only way the water wagon can
be stopped. the speaker said, is to
stop the making of liquor.
In one of his statements Howard
said: "The saloon business is the
vulture of society. In front is the
bar, in the rear is the scarlet wom-
an, overhead is the gambling den"
He said that the temperance move
ment had made greater strides in the
last so years than any other moral
movement that ever struck the
world. One hundred years ago. he
said, the first temperance society
was formed and one of the provis-
ions was that there should be fine
of 80 cents of each member that got
drunk. excepting on a holiday, and
he added. There was always
plenty of money in the treasury
Three states were dry" on Jan
Cary /. 1907 he said and four more
states were added by January /
1908. Besides this, numerous coun-
ties and towns had gone dry under
the local option laws.
Among other statements made by
the speaker were that.
1.-The biggest lie ever told is that
we have got to have the saloon II
censes to pay the expenses of the
city"
If you have at least one saloon in
this town I'll venture the statement
that within the year past you have
hands stained with blood"
"By 1912. prohibition will celebrate
Thanksgiving dinner at Washington,
D. c."
After the address collection was
taken, the proceeds of which 90 to
the prohibition state central commit
tee This collection is believed 70
have been a generous contribution
that amounted to hundreds of dol
lars.
Announcement was made that Oil
yer Stewart, the greatest prohibition
speaker in Chicago, will be in North
Yakima on May 81, the second speak
err in the campaign. He will give an
address at the opera house.

An Aroused East.

Returning to New York from his campaign work
among the republicans and democrats of Maine. Sen
ator Borah, of Idaho, remarked: 'The sooner the
eastern republicans get rid of the notion that thew
have no fight their hands, the better off they will
be-"
There is, then, quickening where it was the least

1t is long since maine went hell bent that
the echo OF the once popular campaign song died
away with the grading of our youngest generation of
voters Maine in its earlier history was full of the
fervor of politics and patriotism and its October

conclusion was reached that the managers had com

DRY that the battle to be fought out in western
territory
The east is considered safely republican long as
it remains dormant and it appeared to be peacefully

out the campaign But it has since been subjected to

and is demanding attention.
These symptoms are encouraging to the democratic

thinking they will not shut their eyes and vote They
will begin to look about and enquire if something
