Richard S;robach is very much put
ont over the depredations evidently
of some thouahtless boys. He found
on arising s. urday morning that a
large and stately evergreen that was
set out at least 20 years ago in his
home yard had been chopped down
and taken away. He believes the
boys will attempt to sell the tree and
would appreciate greatly if the one to
whom it is offered would telephone
3I71. as he proposes to punish the
guilty parties.

HOMESTEAD LAND
UNDER IRRIGATION
Withdrawn Originally for State I'm
der Carey Act, Then by Govern
ment, Returned to People.

Several sections of excellent agri-
cultural land in the lower Yakima
valley has been thrown open to home
stead entry again by the United
States department of the interior,
and the news that the government
would consider applications caused a
small sized rush to Prosser and vi
entity ON Saturday.
Seven Yakima citizens Immediately
looked over the lands during the day
and determined to Ale, securing the
necessary water right papers from
the Sunnyside Water Users associa-
ton.
There are other excellent lands IN
the same section and some Yakima
people, who have not utilized their
homestead rights and who are will
ing to live for Ave years on one ranch,
will have a nice Christmas present
given them by applying to Uncle Sam.
The lands were withdrawn from
entry a number OF years ago for the
state of Washington, which proposed
arranging an irrigation scheme un-
der the Carey act. Before they were
restored for entry, the government
withdrew them through the depart
ment of the interior until the reclaim
alton service got in its work. Now
that the Sunnyside canal is built past
this portion of the country, they are
open for entry. the finest list of home
steads ever given to the public in
Washington.

Worth of Lots on First Avenue
Through Commercial Co.

Heavy purchases of city right Of
way by the North Coast railroad dur
ing the past week, including the clos
ing of several deals and fling of pa
pers on Saturday. have shown that
the corporation is planning an early
entrance into North Yakima and is
distributing considerable cash to
property owners in the west side dis
trict. The total amount of consider
atoms for deals during the week was
$4,000.
The Garrett Bros. Co., through the

Contractor Case of the firm Of Case
& Eschbach returned from trip to
the lower Yakima valley Saturday
and reports great activity in the
building of the North Coast roadbed
in that section. Two crews are at
work and are progressing with the
work. and it is generally expected
that all the gaps between Kennewick
and Granger will be filled before
summer.
This will mean that crews will be
working between Granger and North
Yakima during the early spring and
through the summer, and that rail
connections will be given over the
North Coast during 1909.

civil service rule that will cover
all the leading departments of the
state government and will result in
the retention of good men, no mat
ter what their politics or what per-

Such was the statement that the
governor made to North Yakima men
who were in Spokane this week and
who talked with the governor on
state topics. In one of the little
groups to which the governor made
this statement were Edward Remy,
state fair commissioner, and Horti-
cultural Commissioner Huntley.
The governor says that he wants
law that will cover the appoint

the penal institutions and all state
charitable institutions, and also de-
sires to have the state fruit inspec-

ELLIOTT BROS. INCORPORATED.
Corporation Files Papers With Coun.
ty Auditor Which Show Control
of Structure.

Elliott Brothers, Incorporated. are
the owners of the large three-stoiy
brick building at Chestnut and South
First street. The fact that cor
poration holds the property was
shown by the incorporation papers
filed with the county auditor on Fri
day afternoon.
The building in North Yakima has
been constructed by Judd NJ. Elliott
and ]. G. Elliott, the heavy stockhol-
ders in the company, but there has
been puzzle as to whether they
were the only ones back of the enter
prise. The filing shows that the COM
pany is not only to engage in real
estate business but also in ownership
of steamboats,, barges and other wa
terway equipment.

preciate them. His letter follows:
North Yakima, Dec. 10, 1908.
The word christmas" at this sea-
son will convey to one a thrill of
pleasurable anticipation, while for
another it will only help to intensity
the gloom and sadness of a disap-
pointed life.

of those who are inclined to philan-
thropic deeds to throw ray of
brightness at this yuletide, where
otherwise nothing but shadows would
fall.
We trust we have your confidence
and would greatly appreciate your
early response accompanying a lib
eral donation to assist in this work.
Any balance in hand after the ex-
penses Of the Christmas effort are
met will be used in the furtherance
of the Army's operations in this city.
We would like to give dinner and
bounty to so families.
We would like to give 100 pairs
Of shoes to needy children.
We would like to LOAD our Christ
mas Tree with nice things for the
tots.
We would like to distribute fuel
where needed.
We would like you to appoint us

BIG APPLE MAN PRAISES YAKIMA
Illinois Legislator Was One Of the
Judges ~ the Great National
Apple Show in Spokane.

Yakima and Yakima's apples were
praised Saturday by Senator Dunlap
OF Illinois, who visited North Yaki-
ma during the day with his wife and
was shown through some of the near
by fruit districts by friends. J. -.
Hughes, H. w. Hughes and Ed. Van
Brundt. friends of the senator and
natives of Illinois, accompanied him
on this trip to sessthe Yakima sights.
He expressed himself as surprised
with the extent of the Mob Hill or
.chard, as surprised as he was with
the apple show, which was ten times
larger than he expected.
Senator Dunlap is one of the best
known men of the state of Illinois,
he has been in the senate for 90
years. He is president of the Ma
tional Apple Growers congress and
owns bearing orchard Of 1900 acres.
Several important bulletins on apple
culture have been written by him.
After being shown the H. NJ. Gil
bert orchard on Mob Hill, he express
ed the belief that from a commercial
viewpoint the Gilbert exhibit was the
finest ever shown anywhere. The
basis for awards at the Spokane show
was on a scoring of points. prepared
before the show. and Wenatchee Sc
cured lead by having mixed car
and mixed pack.
Noticing the work of the Yakima
Valley Transportation Co.. Senator
Dunlap talked about Illinois traction
lines to some extent. Congressman
William Mckinley of Champaign. H..
is friend of tho senator. and is the
man in control of 500 miles of cleo
trio railroad lines that traverse Gen.
trail Illinois. About 80 per cent Of
the business done by this company
is in passenger traffic. He expressed
the belief that the large freight pos
sibilities for electric lines in the Yak
ina valley made good prospects for
the local railway and the field an
pealed to him a. better than any nth
