TROUBLE OVER A SPRING.
Court Commissioner Ward Issues
a Temporary Writ
Thursday.

Disputes as to the ownership of
water rights of a spring in the
Naches valley resulted in Court
Commissioner Ward issuing tempo
rary injunction Thursday restraining
F. II. Hess from using the water as
against the rights of Mrs. 9Iilda A.
Meister, former county superinten-
dent of schools. Mrs. Meister claims
the right to the water by reason If
prior use, although the spring is To-
Gated on land now owned by Hess.
Mrs. Meister has lived on the land,
which she purchased, since 1883 and
used the water from the spring for
irrigation of an orchard, the water
rising on government land. Hess
filed an entry on the land, including
the spring, and posted a notice
claiming the water right. He has
since been constructing flume and
ditch to convey the water to a point
desired by him. Mrs. Meister is rep
resented in the case by F. A. Hat

plies to the successful competitors
and dowager duchess of Westmin-
ster, the duchess of Westminster,
duchess of Rutland and Lady Des-
borough handed the silver and
bronze medals, the diplomas and the
commemorative medals to those en-
titled to them. A big crowd attend
ed the function and cheered the ath.
letes as they came forward to receive
their prizes. The Italian Dorando
was honored with the greatest ova-'
ton, sympathies of the spectators
going out to the man who had
missed the prize of the Marathon
race when it was just within his
grasp.
Before the ceremonies of the prize
giving began America captured two

TAFT IN THE SOUTH.

Some Democrats may feel inclined
to faceta and disposed to lightsome
jest because of the letter to Candi-
date Taft from prominent Demo-
Gratis of the south. Those letters tell
him they are for him. will vote for
him and give their influence to the
cause of the Republican party in the
present campaign, and through the
election.
Any eleeful jokes in Democratic
papers touching that incident are
palpably in the nature of graveyard
whistling. II will take very little de-
lection in southern states to carry
them for the Republican ticket Old
Virginia. West Virginia the latter
already a more than doubtful state,
Georgia and Alabama and Texas are
all liable to be lost TO the solid south.
And there is every reason for the
action of the southerners. Ii Bryan
is elected the only result. so far as
they are affected in the national
consideration. is a continuance of the
age-old isolation OF their section: its
refusal to take a proper hand in the
management of the nation in which
they are so important part. 1t will
be another Cleveland term, in which
the Democracy quarrels and does
nothing: fulfills none of its prom
Uses. and proves only that its leaders
never intended to keep the pledges
made to the people.
Any time two or three OF the
southern states choose Republican
electors they have stepped forward
an incalculable distance They have
put the past far behind them, instead
of hugging it to their bosoms as so
many of their Democracy of the
north wants them TO continue doing.
In spite of the handicap of bad
political conditions, northern men
and money have, in the past few
years, done much for the develop
ment of the splendid resources OF the
south That is recognized, and the
people of that section want the bet
tering process to continue. 1t can
continue, though sluggishly. while
the south remains bound to tradition.
It will be accelerated by the breaking
of the fetish which has so long been
worshipped there, which has been so
profitable to the Democracy of the
northern states.
Whatever progress the south has
gained has been in spite OF the Demo-
cratic party. When southern men
declare independence of that organ-
ization. when they enlist in the ranks
of progressive and capable and If
they will be very greatly the gamers.

RANCHER IS SHOT
PLEASANT A. BOUNDS
IN YAKIMA HOSPITAL
John a. Collins of Wapato Comes
to City and Surrcnders to
Sheriff.

Trouble over irrigation water on
ranches near Wapato resulted in John
A. Collins shooting Pleasant A.
Bounds, neighbor, the bullet taking
effect in the hip. Bounds is now IN
the st. Elizabeth's hospital, and it IS
expected he will recover quickly
while Collins is in the county jail
having Immediately come to North
Yakima to surrender. The alterca-
ton and the shooting occurred on
Sunday morning.
There has been considerable trou-
Bile between the two ranchers regard
ing irrigation water, and the climax
came on Sunday when the two met,
as Collins was investigating about a
special head of water in the Bounds
ditch, which he said overlooked his
land. The two men tell different
stories about the shooting, each
claiming to have had a fear of the
other. Bounds had no weapon ex-
cepting a shovel, and did not attempt
to use it, though Collins says he held
it in threatening attitude.

Sanitary inspector Gerald Shelly
will open a crusade on butchers who

5000 CARS FRUIT.
North Yakima Will Ship Over 1900
Cars, or Average of Ten
q Day.

Three thousand carloads of fruit
will be shipped this year from the
Yakima valley, between Yakima
canyon and the Columbia river, ac-
cording to the belief of j. NJ. Brown,
county fruit inspector, and of this
immense total there will be 1900
cars from North Yakima, or approx
imately as much as was shipped from
the entire Yakima valley in 1907.
Toppenish and Wapato will stand
next in the list of big shipments,
with Granger and Sunnyside showing
up well in the list. Prosser, Mabton
and Kennewick also have big
showing, but not one will compare
with North Yakima.
The county fruit inspector has not
included the Selah valley in his esti-
mate of North Yakima shipments, rs
most of the fruit from that district
will probably 60 out of the Selah
and Wenas stations.
"There has been no special dam
age to the fruit anywhere this year."
said the inspector in talking about
the situation, land | look for an i'm
mense crop, having just made an ex-
tensive trip through the orchard sec
ton. Three thousand cars is about
what it will be. maybe little more
and maybe little less.
''The Selah valley is going to sur
prise people this year with its i'm
mense shipments of apples and pears,
and many peaches too. The Mckee
has an immense crop this time"
AS the fruit shipping season ex-
tends through only about four more
months, including August. Septem-
Der, October and November, it is
certain there will be an average of
ten carloads of fruit a day out of
North Yakima, meaning an immense
amount of freight and also a great
demnd for refrigerator cars.

SMALL FRY
COMMERCE COMMISSION
MAKES IMPORTANT RULE
Small Shippers May Pool Freight and
Send IL Under Low Rate Of
the Large Orders.

WASHINGTON, July 27.-Accord-
ing to decision of the Interstate
commerce commission today shippers
may combine small quantities of
freight of various ownership, whether
by arrangement between themselves
or through medium of the for
warding agency and ship the COM
bined lot at the relatively lower rates
applicable to large shipments. The
commission held that because one
shipper tenders "a bulked shipment"
made up of the property of various
ownership consolidated before the d.
livery to the carrier tne fact of vari-
Gus ownership does not Justify the
carrier in making different charge
than for a shipment of similar char
acter rendered by a shipper who is
also the owner. The complainant in
the present case is engaged in for
warding business at Chicago ana
New York and assemblies packages of
merchandise of various ownership,
consolidating them in carload lots
and shipping them at carload rates
The railroads refused to accept the
carload rates under official classifca-
ton, which the commission now de-
clares to be Illegal.
Basing their decision on the fact
that no discrimination in rates shall
exist, the commission says that en-
forcement of such rule by the rail
road companies would bring disaster
upon many of the small industries
and more surely establish the domi-
nance of the greater Industrial and
commercial institutions.

Fifteen Young Men Joined i'm
Removal of DISTINCTIONS from
Ground.

North Yakima's Y. NJ. c. A. is to
have fine tennis court as result of
the industry Of 10 boys who joined
in crusade against rocks, bricks and
other distractions on the south side
OF the building Monday evening. An
hours work resulted in the cleaning
up of the ground and Secretary Tur-
ner has promised that the steam
roller will be secured to level the
ground and pack 1t for the court.
There has been a need for a tennis
court in the center of the city, many
young men being experts at the game
but unable to keep up their practice
because of lack of a court. The fact
that this will be supplied by the as
sociation will increase interest among
many.
