quarrel over the ownership OF some
cattle, A. Randall was arrested on a
warrant sworn out by his neighbor.
Platt Talbot of the Joseph plains.
Talbot charges Randall with shoot
ing at him, but Randall charges
that Talbot also participated in the
shooting and that he was made a
target on two different occasions,
| but through poor craftsmanship no
one was injured.
Asotin, Wash.-The hot weather
| which has been sweeping over this
section of the country has not dom
damage to the grain, and the farm
ers state that the grain can stand
| two weeks OF 1t without rain. Har-
vest in the lower section OF Asotin
! fiat will begin in two weeks.
Athena, Oro.-Harvest will begin
here next week, as early as men can
BIZ secured. A large number OF
1 combined harvesters will be used
this year, and the number of men
| will not be as large as last year.
Farmers generally report shortage
in the crop, but this section has suf'
fcred less, perhaps, than any section
IL Oregon, Washington or Idaho.
Most Of the land is sown to grain in
the fall, and this year the damage
has been largely to spring grain.
North Yakima.-That the Rose
company's artesian mill in North
Yakima is a complete success. that
| It. throws enough water to supply a
city of 10000 and that the company
has succeeded in solving the water
problem for North Yakima are the
assertions made today by D. f. De-
lesh. who yesterday examined thor
oughly the workings Of the first ar
tesian will to be drilled within the
city Unite The we'll has been COM
pleted and flow Of over 100000
! gallons Of water a day has been
struck.
i Garfield, Wash.-The winter
\ wheat proposition looks good here.
4 but the grain is not far enough ad-
! vanced to say what the quality will
be. Harvest will be late here COM
pared with former years. Wheat
growers are hopeful and anticipate
good results from this years crop.
There is large acreage OF oats this
season, and prospects for good
crop Of this cereal are fair. Spring
sown grain is somewhat backward
on account of the lateness Of the
spring. but an average crop will be
raised.
North Yakima-The Pleasant
Valley Irrigation company's eight
miles OF bitches, which will distrib-
ute water from the artificial lake
fed from the Selah creek. have been
finished and little will be done to-
ward the development OF the project
until next fall. Next year the dam
will be increased in height Is feet,
and the officers of the company be-
lieve that sufncient water will be
stored during the spring freshet to
cover .all the land along the COM
pleted bitches.
| North Yaklma.-A petition being
circulated addressed to the city
council asking that saloon keepers
In the city be given six months no.
tice to quit the business and that
thereafter liquor shall only be sold
by druggists on the prescription of
physicians. is meeting with little
success. This condition existed In
Yakima once before, and the results
were not satisfactory. 1t is alleged
by the liquor interests that the lead
ing drug stores are owned by physi-
clans and this form Of prohibition is
rot likely to prove prohibitive and
the city will lose the revenue.
North Yakima.-The first carload
OF cherries ever shipped from North
Yakima left this afternoon. The
fruit was consigned to Fargo. N. D..
end will be distributed to points in
that state. In the car were 800
crates Of sour cherries, packed In
quart boxes similar to those used for
Strawberries. and 1900 boxes of the
sweeter variety. the Royal Annes
and Black Republicans Another
carload of cherries will be made up
and shipped early next week.
