tons of mixed irrigated fruits 1t is
estimated that the cannery will be
in operation for at least two months

to 800 men. women and children and

OLDEST APPLE TREES.

With the announcement of the Ma

The Oldest apple trees and the name
Of the oldest apple grower in the
Yakima valley is naturally aroused.
A little investigation indicates that
the first bearing apple trees were at
the old Catholic mission in the All
tanum. and that other trees were
planted shortly afterward. AS early
as 1868 apple trees were planted
on the Wiley ranch in the Ahtanum
valley. within the recollection of j.
7. Wiley and Wallace Wiley. It was
q few years later that the first COM
mercial orchards were planted.
Few people realize the age of the
apple growing industry in the Yaki-
ma valley, for over 40 years there
have been bearing fruit trees in this
section.
1t is not unlikely that Yakima leads
all sections of the state, unless it be

country. in the age of its fruit in

Most of us would have quit right
there" said Mr.. Comegys. "but that
wasn't Taft's way. He pegged along
with the rest of the class for the re-
mainder of the course. and passed
another examination with It. He was
as keen here for honors as he had
been in Yale. There was another
man just as hot after them. It was
a drawn battle Taft and his oppo-
nent. Alfred p Benedict, were so
nearly of an equality in scholarship
that the examiners could not decide
which had passed the better exami-
natio They gave each of them
800 and equal honors.''
This was in 1880, when Mr.. Taft
was % years old.

VOTING THE TICKET.

With the approach Of the national
election on November s, considera-
BILE interest is being aroused In the
political situation, and this interest
bids fair to be sufficient to make GER
tain the election of every republican
candidate. both state, legislative and
county. The only prospect OF defeat
for the republicans in Yakima county
will be in apathy of the voters.
Not one democrat or prohibition
candidate can anticipate being elect
ed by party votes, their choice must
necessarily be by republicans. The
republican voters, all of them, are
personally responsible for the tick
ct that has been named, and they will
not desert their own candidates. the
personal choice Of the voters, for the
nominees for party committees,
whether they were selected, before or
after the primaries.
The republican legislative candi-
dates are pledged to vote for Wesley
l.. Jones for United States senator
and for the party choice to succeed
Senator Piles, two years hence. That
is an important party question, i'm
portant to Yakima county and to the
state. The three legislative candi-
dates are also pledged to vote for a
local option law, step that is de-
manded by the majority of the party
In Yakima county.
The republican county ticket Is a
strong one, made up OF men who are
able and capable, men who can we'll
ill the offices for which they have
been named.
There Is no reason for desertion
of any one of these candidates by
the republicans of Yakima county
just because the democrats or the
prohibitionists are begging for votes,
and the republican voters realize 1t.
