commissioners.

Opening of North First and North
Second streets To the city limits IS
planned by the city council, accord
ing TO an announcement made Med
nesday evening by Councilman Fl. II.
Schott. and Immediately on the re-
turn of Councilman Janeck from a
vacation trip steps will be taken to
secure a right-of-way through the
various properties at the north ends
of the streets.
The opening of the streets is in
conjunction with the work of the
county commissioners in opening a
new road to the Selah bridge, prac-
tieally an extension of Second street.
The change will give easier access to
a district that is being rapidly inn

Building of new irrigation can
ais, subdividing of present large acre
age, construction of electric lines
and other work will soon make North
Yakima more than double its size.
Just think of the immense amount
of arid land yet to be reclaimed. and
it can be reclaimed too without as
much trouble as is taken in other
sections. North Yakima and the
Yakima valley are plainly in Their
infancy.
"The building of the electric rail-
road means lot to this city If |
had the money I would build that
entire line myself. I know 1t would
be a fine Investment. I only had to
travel as far as Los Angeles and look
at the electric lines there to know
what they mean.

like the western people do.
"Of course there were changes in
Chicago and New York and other
large cities; there ought to be in fifty
three years. They have become i'm

Business conditions seemed about

cities, however.
Money matters are improving in
the east; they are careful how they
loan money, but it isn't any strin-

Vice President Carpenter says that
he notices the change in North Iaki-
ma through the laying of the pave
ment and the street car line. most OF
which had been done since he started
on his eastern trip, less than two
months ago.
"And there'll be big changes here

FIGHTING BOB

EVANS PASSES The AGE LIMIT
Celebration at Lake MOhOnk Where
Aged Rear Admiral Is
Visiting.

LAKE MOHONK, Aug. 1S.-Far
from the grim warships and sea
where he spent nearly half century
in the service of his country Rear
Admiral Bob" Evans, who is at this
mountain resort reached the age limit
of years today and passed from the
ranks of the country's active sea-
fighters. He has seen the longest
service of any man who has reached
the office of rear admiral in the
American navy.
All through the day the hotel was
thronged with admirers of Fight
ing Bob" and congratulations and
kilograms by the score reached him
from all parts of the country, all
expressing Fluctuations and affection.
Some of these brought delighted
smiles to the admiral's face and 9TH
ers brought just a suspicion of mos-
ture to his eyes.
The formal celebration in his hon.
or took place this evening in the
large parlors of the Mountain hotel.
The room was decorated 1ut the fea-
ture which attracted most attention
was the battle Scared flag which the

DR.. Andrew S. Draper of New York
presented, in behalf of the guests of
the hotel, a gold lined silver loving
cup. In accepting this gift Admiral
Evans gave an interesting talk. Just
at the close Of the exercises a birth
day cake containing sixty-two lighted
candles was brought into the room.
This seemed to please the admiral
more than any other part of the cere-
monies.

PROSPECTS BRIGHT.
Apple Growers Certain of Good
Prices.

The report of the American Apple
Growers congress recently in ses-
sion in St. Louis shows that the APP
pie crop of the middle west and east
VIII be below the average of former
years. The present outlook indicates
but a thirty per cent yield of the av-
erage crop in New York, Ohio. Mis-
souri, and Illinois.
Conditions in the Yakima valley
indicate a good crop, and growers
will realize a good price from their
yield owing to the poor crop in 9th
er sections. A fair yield of apples IS
reported from all the fruit growing
sections of this state.

pecially under section IL of the law
which created the Office of the State

Our demand was blocked by the
advice of the attorney general in a

Miller from him, excluding from our
observation and inspection that re-
port, which he made to the State

having some months ago closed its
