IRRIGATION AND ELECTRICITY

IRRIGATION AND ELECTRICITY
The Granger News announces the
organization of local company for
the purpose of constructing and OPP
Grating an electric railway through
that rapidly developing horticulture
al section Of the Yakima valley. The
company incorporates with a capt.
tai stock OF 100000, divided into
shares of 800 each. 1t is planned
to build a road to reach the big fruit
growing district irrigated by the Sun
nyside canal. and connect with the
Northern Pacific railway at Parker
and North Yakima. The promoters
expect to furnish power for domestic
and farm purposes, and to operate a
general freight, passenger and mail
carrying system of interurban trains
Irrigation has been the advance
agent iu the reclamation of that
once great desert of central Wash
ington. 1t has made the way clear
for hundreds OF families to secure
homes and independence Ii has laid
the foundation for wealth and happi-
ness in the orchards and vineyards
that came into existence because Of
the power of water Wherever the
sagebrush could be cleared and the
land made smooth enough to con-
struet irrigation laterals, the work OF
reclamation has progressed. Where
few years ago was the scene of
desolation may now be noticed the
hand OF plenty scattering its bless
ings among the Industrious and con-
tented people The desert has be-
come an oasis with boundaries linn
tied only by water bitches.
Electricity comes as the handmade
Of irrigation to further the agricul-
tural and industrial development OF
the Yakima country. It represents
another step in the march OF pro-
gress. 1t enables farmers and fruit
growers to get all the returns posi-
bic from their little tracts of irri-
gated land For the ready market
is one Of the many necessities in max
ing a financial success of the fruit
farm Quick and systematic con
nection with the railroads, carrying
the products Of the farm and orchard
to the seaboard and interior markets,
counts much in favor of the growers.
The day has come when the consum-
ers are educated in all that pertains
TO the fruit and vegetable industry.
They want the best obtainable, and
must have it delivered as early as
possible.
The modern farm Is no longer a
place Of drudgery. It has none of
the old-time implements of torture
used n tilling the soil, harvesting or
marketing the crops Every up-to-
date farmer employs the latest meth
DDS in handling his acres planted to
market products Electricity is one
of the forces that cannot be dispens-
~ via if the farmer has al oppor-
unity to establish It on his place.
There are sd many WAYS in which the
owe. eaa De utilized for profit and
the saving Of labor 1t IS the purpose
Of the Yakima valley farmers to
bring into requisitiou all the forces
obtainab.e from the new electric
power and continue the era of de-
yelopment for which that section has
become famous at home and abroad

We regret to state that we are una
BILE to find a good reason for asking
the retention Of NJ. Ankeny in the
senate. On the other hand, We re-
joice to say that our paper would
have to be materially enlarged to tell
in one issue all the good work ac-
complished by Yakima Jones" for
this commonwealth. He is undenia-
bly, "of, for and by the people" and
he gets Our support without money
and without price Our chief re-
greet is, his salary is too small for
his ability and il seems like handing
him Il gold brick to ask him to side
track a practice of $4,000 per for

Jones can stand it we can. Wonder

JONES Is THE MAN.

Senator Ankeny announces by mail
that he should be reelected to the
U. S. senate because of the fact that
he has been appointed on few COM
mittees. We have yet to hear of a
senator but can show such a record
any day in the week While Senator
Ankeny has done the best he could,
beyond a reasonable doubt, his rec

eight. That is a pretty fair ratio. 1t
shows the difference in Jones and
Ankeny: in the man who works and
the man who hires expensive press
agents to exploit imaginary merits IN
columns of well worded hot air and
clever bombast. A compilation of
the record of Jones and Ankeny DUR
ing the sixtieth congress shows that
Congressman Jones introduced 1G9
bills and Ankeny introduced eight.
Can the state of Washington deduct
any kind of a logical conclusion from
these premises? And the measures
proposed BY Ankenv were not Of
