FOR 4 FRUIT DAY.
Window Exhibits Were Drawing
Card Last Year and May be
Duplicated.

Remembering the success of Fruit
Day in 1907 and the attraction of the
fruit exhibits in the windows on
Yakima avenue during the fair, in
terest is being taken in the promo
ton of similar day for this year.
Commissioner f. Remy of the state
fair has taken the matter up with
business men and with officers of the
commercial club and believes the
idea will be carried through again
this year.
Nothing serves better to impress
visitors with the fact that the Yaki-
ma. valley is a great fruit country
than the exhibit of fruit, and the
North Yakima merchants made one
of the finest fruit showing ever
known during the last state fair. AS
the state event comes during the
best part of the fruit season, it will
be easy to duplicate the exhibits this
year and to improve on them.

Charles F. Bailey, secretary of the
Non-Forfeiture Land company, OF
which Calhoun, Denny & Ewing RI
Seattle are heavy stockholders, stat
ed that his company thought they
had the money available to finance
the proposition. The Seattle stock
holders have a man in view who is
ready to take active steps in the mat
ter. Mr.. Bailey advised that a tenn
porary organization be formed and
committees appointed to place mat
tiers in operation. He was of the
opinion. from advices from f. Nc
Culloh, project engineer of the rec
lamation service, that engineers
should be on the ground making sur
veys and plats of the mountain with
in two weeks, as Mr.. McCulloh states
that utmost speed must be attained
in order to secure water for 1909.
Mr.. Bailey advised the payment of
certain sum per acre by the land
owners to carry out the surveys now
necessary, these moneys to be deduct
ed from construction costs in the
future, or in stock of final organiza-
ton. He also stated that he thought
the mountain should be plated as the
surveys were carried on, roads laid
out and the latterals located. This
cost should run at less than 81 per
acre. Mr.. Bailey pledged his COM
pany to do their part in raising the
funds for this survey.
A further meeting will probably
be called next week to place the mat
ter before the land owners as each
stage advances. All land owners
should look out for this call.

HEATING IS BEST
EXPERTS TALK OF
HIGH SCHOOL JOB
Consider that Ventilation and Warm.
ing System is FINEST in
State.

Experts who have visited the
North Yakima high school declare
that the heating and ventilating sys-
tenn that has been arranged by the
school board and architects, and
which is now being installed, is the
finest in any school building in Wash
ington. The men have visited the
schools in Seattle, Tacoma and Spo-
kane as well as other cities and found
nothing to equal the local plans.
Rish C Mellen haze just completed
the building of the great smokestack
at the school, to height of 65 feet.
The stack is Al inches in diameter
and is built of quarter-inch boiler
plate.
Construction work on the building
is being pushed rapidly and there is
little doubt that the school will be
ready for occupancy early in the fall,
though probably not at the very
opening of the schools.

IRRIGATION SEEMS CERTAINTY.
8. J. Harrison Says He Believes
Present Project is Only
Possible Way.

Belief that the Snipes mountain
irrigation project, backed by the sun
nyside and Granger Commercial clubs
will be financed and carried through
is expressed by Charles f. Bailey, Of
the NonForfeiture Land company.

Gates the opinion of the men inter

bility and probability:
The opinion Of 5. J. Harrison, who
now irrigates acreage on the sunny
side end of the mountain, is that it
is the only opportunity of the land
holders to see the entire hill under

ment, he said. controls the water OF
the Yakima river and that it was
the installation of pumping plants
from the river, as the greater portion
of the water will be used through
projects under the Sunnyside canal.
The irrigation or 5000 acres Ct
land on Snipes mountain will open
one of the finest fruit sections in the
whole Yakima valley, says Mr.. Harri-
son. Should driveways be opened
as anticipated along the laterals

into the valley and driving through
this over these roads, will never for

From the plans presented by Mr.
Noble, the water would be taken
from the Sunnyside canal in Section

this point the elevation of the canal
IS about s64 feet and the route from
there almost south to the mountain

s. h. SWEET LOCATES
IN THE YAKIMA VALLEY

in His Home Town, Van
Vert, Ohio.

+. II. Sweet, an attorney of Van
Vert. Ohio, arrived last Saturday
and has taken charge of the fruit
ranch purchased by his father some
weeks ago southwest of the city. Mr..
Sweet may decide to engage in the
practice of his profession after the
arrival of his family. In speaking
of Mr.. Sweet the VanWert Republic
can says the following:
deputy Probate Judge Forest H.
Sweet and family are now en- route
to their new home in North Yakima,
Washington. They left here Wednes-
day morning. and word was received

mailed shortly after they left Chica-
go, stating that they were eomforta-
bly, travelling in Pullman and enjov-
ing the scenery of the western coun-
try.
At the last meeting Of Van Vert
lodge Knights of Pythias, Mr.. Sweet
was presented with a handsome watch
charm as a token of the high esteem
in which he is held in fraternal cir
cles, having filed the highest office
in the gift of the local lodge with
credit.
Mr.. Sweet was admitted to the
bar some years ago and he expects
to practice his profession in his new
home as well as having supervision
of his fathers fruit farm recently
purchased. Words of regret were
heard on every hand when the news
was given out that he had decided 20
try his fortunes in that great north
west country When Horace Greeley
gave his advice, GO west, young
man. he had in mind just fellows of
Mr.. Sweets make up. He possesses
the three essential qualities to sue
ceed-pluck, push and perseverance.
In church, social and political circles
he will be greatly missed. For years
he has faithfully served as one of
the ushers in the First Presbyterian
church. In several campaigns he
contributed much of his time and his
energies in perfecting organizations.
The best wishes of host of people
for success in full measure go with
him and we predic. that as here, q

of the useful, practical spokes in all
that is good in the development Of
North Yakima.

JEALOUSY AROUSED.
Judge Preble Traces Course .
Trouble i'm the Korytkowski
Family.

Jealousy caused by the confession
of an 1S-year-old bride as to acts be-
fore her marriage was the result of a
divorce decree in the superior court
severed the matrimonial bonds of
Bessie H. Korytkowski and Edward
r. Korytkowski, a baker. The decree
was only granted after a hearing of
evidence for three days, the husband
fighting against the divorce. He
gave his reason as religious scruples.
Mrs Korytkowski asked for di-
vorce on grounds of certain actions
on the part Of her husband which
were easily traced to jealousy. Con-
LESSONS made on the witness stand
by husband and wife gave the chain
of evidence which brought this sit
uation ont clearly, and which formed
part of Judge Preble's decision.
Few heard the opinion of Judge
Preble, for the decision of the case
of Saturday evening was hardly ex-
pected, but those who did hear his
verdict viii long remember 1t as a
masterfu effort in the discussion of
marriage relations and divorce. He
stated to both parties that If he
thought there was any possibility of
a reconciliation he would not grant
the decree but that he found nothing
but hatred between the parties. in
stead of love, and believed that It
was to the best interests of both and
of the community that the decree be
granted.
Not only did Judge Preble grant
the divorce to the wife but he gave
an allowance of alimony of $40 4
month and custody of an infant child.
He retained jurisdiction as to the ali
mony and custody of the child and
may amend the conditions later.
Mr.. and Mrs. Korytkowski stated
on the witness stand that her con-
fession was made during the honey
moon in burst of confidence, and
Judge Preble concluded in his decis-
ion that this was the reason for
Jealousy which developed with the
/ husband He said he could not al
together blame either party in the
suit. but thought the severance of
matrimonial bonds was the only
right and just thing.

ploy of the Mechtel bakery and form

down some time ago.
Attorneys Clark & Generaux reD-

case and Attorney Lynch represented

Mr. Hadley has made a discovery
in puirs prudence as new as it is
astonishing. He charges that mas
much as Mr.. Cowherd's nominotion
was procured by a fraud on the
ballot, therefore the people should
vote for him. Hadley. There is
something peculiarly republican
in this conclusion. Because some
one fraudulently gave the nominal
ton to one man cannot afford a
sufficient reason why someone being
opposed, should get the benefit?
Mr. Hadley forgets that his claim
makes him an accessory after the
fact makes him the receiver of
stolen goods. There is no evidence
that Mr.. CoWherd'S nomination was
obtained by any irreguiarity. If
there had been the faint of fraud
on the nomination Mr.. Cowherd
would never have accepted it.
However, Mr.. Hadley cannot make
any point against the manner of
Mr.. Cowherd's nomination when his
own is efficiently nal orderous to
drive a hungry dog out Of q tan
gaul. A few trust magnateS and
other political free boosters at the
state capital met and decreed that
his name, and his alone, should be
placed on the primary ticket. In
no sense of the term can it be
claimed that Mr.. Hadley was nomi-
mated. He was simply on the ticket
by the action. of this conclave. If
his party following is satisfied we
are, His defeat on Nov. 3 is as alb
SOlutely certain as the dawn of that
day. Oh, no, such an one as Mr..
