GETS TETON CONTRACT.
Government Engages Contra ctor
Meyers for Camp Thirteen.

W. C. Myers of Fruitvale, who in
the early spring had his own trou-
bles with the then recently enacted
city ordinances and with the license
imposed on all draymen, was engaged
by the United States reclamation
service to do dredging work at Camp
Thirteen on their project in the Tie
ton valley. So far as is known at
present by Mr.. Myers the nature of
the work is indecipherable, as the
two agents who engaged him paid a
hurried visit to his home Saturday
and requested him to make haste
with his outfit, bring along a couple
of men and his family and reach
headquarters as soon as possible. Mr..
Myers and his family departed at 5
clock Sunday morning for the work.

ROCKWELL AND FIELD SPEAK.
Attorney Gull Acts as Chairman Of
the Meeting Which Was
Well Attended.

Two candidates for congress from
the Third district addressed the vot-
ers of this city and county Wednesday
evening on the issues of the cam
paign at the court house. The speak
ers were NJ. E. Field of Chelan coun-
ty and T. D. Rockwell of Spokane,
president of the state tax commits
sion. An audience of about 200 peo-
pie filled the court room and listened
to the remarks of the congressional
aspirants with interest. The chair
man of the meeting was Attorney j.
o. Gull, who introduced the speakers.
Candidate Field was the first
speaker. He briefly outlined his poll
icy in few well chosen words. Mr..
Field said that he favored the cutting
up of the big wheat ranches of east
ern Washington and attracting more
people, which would eventually mean
more and better homes. He also ia
vored in his plank the building of ir-
rigation projects now planned. and
more development of the states
resources He favored a provision
by the government for the buying of
allotted land on the reservations from
the Indians. The richest fruit lands
In the state are idle. because of ina
bility to purchase the land from the
allotees. who are willing to sell, but
are restricted by red tape. The release
OF restrictions on reservation lands
would be of immense value TO the
state, attracting more people and in
cf'edsing tract tax receipts. The equit-
able management of forest reserves
was also one of the changes advocau-
ed by the candidate from Chelan. He
favored the hetternient nj the nres-
ent conditions, the non-rejectment of
applicants for farm lands in the for
est reserves, the doing away with
inefficient employees from eastern cit
les. and the installation of practical
timbermen and foresters trained in
the practical west on forest subjects.
Mr.. Field advocated the increasing
of transportation facilities by utiliz-
ing the water mower of the state now
unused, and the building of govern
ment waterways for handling the
states products at minimum cost
TO tide water. opening a foreign mar
ket. Mr. Field closed his remarks
and was heartily applauded.
T. d. Rockwell, president of the
state tax commission, then addressed
the gathering on the subject of Tax
alton" interspersing his remarks by
bits of aumor of the ready sort Mr..
Rockwell is a polished speaker, with
wealth of genialty. His years of
experience has given him an insight
into the dull subject. which he hand
ed in mastery manner.
Taxation" said Mr.. Rockwell, "is
pne OF the most Important. yet least
known subjects before the people. IT
Is handicapped by the lack of con-
certed action. which causes COM
plants. some OF which are Just, and
some unjust. People do not take
enough interest in the matter which

trotting horse Cresceus. though Car
mon himself was never trained for
the track. Sucn states as Iowa, Min
nesota, Wisconsin, Kansas and Ken
lucky have co-operated with the gov
eminent to include the new class in
the horse department of their state
fairs and Washington is writing it,
self down progressive in being among
the early ones to make the innova-
ton. 1t is believed, too, that there
are enough good horses in the state
conforming to the new type to assure
fair number of competitors.
The government is concerned, too,
with the production of good cavalry
horse for army service. The broncho
is disappearing with the cowboy and
other picturesque features of the
wild west. The problem of obtain
ing mounts for cavalrymen is every
day becoming a more serious prob
lem. The Fort Collins station has
taken the matter in hand and will
use the best of the carriage horse
stock for breeding horse which
shall possess all the endurance, lung
power and intelligence of the
broncho, together with qualities
making it suitable for use anywhere
in the United States. Prof. Carlyle
has just refused an offer of a position
at the Kansas Agricultural college,
preferring to remain at Fort Collins
for the present.
William Bishop of Chimiacum,
who is to be one of the heavy Hol-
stein exhibitors at the state fair, has
just bought at Tacoma, n. Y, twenty
four head of fine animals including
very blue blooded bull, Karel Bos,
which has a great backing in Hol-
land, and which both his former and
present owner expect to become one
of the great sires of the breed. Karel
Bos will probably make his bow at
North Yakima and Mr. Bishop ex-
poets him to carry away honors at
the A.-Y.-P. next year.
DR.. ]. S. Kloeber of Green River
Hot Springs and William Todd &
Sons of North Yakima have also
made recent additions to their herds
OF Holsteins.
The state fair board wants a cover
design for its premium book, de-
sign for its letter head and it's en-
velope and boys and girls of the state
are asked to compete for the prizes
offered for each one of these. The
designs must contain the seal of the
state.

LIBBY PRAISES
NORTH YAKIMA
NOW LOCATED AT CHARLESTON
Irrigation Expert Who Has Wonder
full Project Sees Great Change
in Few Years.

-Four years ago I was in North
Yakima and saw this city by daylight,
and today when | returned I found
that the city had progressed wonder
fully, more than l ever expected"
said E. H. Libby, formerly publisher
of the Ranch in this city and now the
head of the great Charleston, Wash,
irrigation project.
The irrigation expert made a short
business visit to the city Tuesday and
spent few hours with old friends
and business associates here. To all
he expressed surprise at the rapid
advancement of the city and the sur
rounding country and made the pro-
phecy that the Yakima valley would
continue to develop rapidly.
"Your city has changed, with its
new buildings. its paved streets and
its car line. These were unthought
of four years ago. | notice the Mil
Ter building and the Mullins building
as two great changes, and there are
many other new buildings. You
would hardly know it as the same
city"
The Charleston proposition with
which Mr.. Libby is connected is con-
sidered one of the most attractive ir-
rigation projects in the world. The
water is piped to the different ranches
under pressure. there being abso-
lutely no open ditch from the time
the water leaves the river until 1t
strikes the burrows to the various
orchard rows.
