II can't understand why Joe should

day. "He is my only child and we
have been more than mother and son.
We have been comrades. He has had
everything he wanted to make his
home life pleasant. He had no bad
habits and the fact that he always
consulted me about everything he did
makes it seem impossible that he
should run away. He has had no
trouble at home. The fact Is I never
whipped him or punished him severely.
He could have taken money with him
II he had, wanted. as he knew where
I kept my money. With the exception

Fruit. dope has begun to circulate
and probable crop reports are beginn-
ing to come in f. E. Merrill. repre-
senting the e. p. Stacy CO., of Mimi
eapois, one of the large fruit houses
of Minnesota, was in North Yakima
Thursday and called on Sales Manager
Paddock of the horticultural union
and left behind him the latest news
he has been able to procure in Col
orado. Utah. and California. From
here he went along to Spokane to go
west on the Great Northern to the
Wenatchee district.
Stated briefly the expression of Mr..
Merrill is that in Colorado and Titan
he anticipates a fairly good crop of
fruit but in California he looks for a
light crop of peaches and apricots.
The growers there, he says, all seem
to think that after the heavy crop of
these fruits last year. the conditions
this year will revca, a heavy falling
off Unless Colorado comes in to
heavily with peaches Mr.. Merrill an
ticpates a good price for that fruit.
Some Yakima apples he saw while
here looked good to him but he said
he could not afford to buy at the prices
which local dealers can obtain by ship
ping to the sound. therefore he stayed
out of the market.

LIBRARY WORKER SOUGHT
Mayor Armbruster Must Appoint Il
Commissioners

Mayor p. M.~Armbruster is looking
for a promising candidate for service
on the public library commission to
serve in the place of n. V. Cam pbell
resigned. The mayor will have two
appointments to make as in addition
to the vacancy caused by the retire
ment of Mr.. Campbell there will be
another in a month or 50 when the
term of Mrs. W. w. Robertson will ex-
pire. The mayor Is puzzled. In a
general way he wants some young per-
son for the position now open. He
may appoint lady. The law does
not specify that there shall be a lady
member of the board but his honor
thinks a lady. or perhaps two ladies.
on the board might be advantageous.
He thinks the library should be built
up by normal people and not by stu
dents as 1t is public concern which
caters to normal people. SO what he
Is looking for is some person with
good common sense who will see that
the library procures the kind of lit
erature which will lead people to read
that they may be led to better reading.
He says he may defer the appointment
for some time.

NEW JUDGE MAY
WashingtOn's Senior Senator Said to
BE I'm Quandary Through Fear of
AntagOnizing Seattle or Tacoma

SEATTLE, March Ex-senator Piles
is likely to have row on his hands
over the appointment of the new fed
eral judge for eastern Washington.
While President Taft is expected to do
as he pleases in the matter of the APP
pointment, still it is regarded as GER
tain that Senator Piles will be con-
suited. 1t is said that the senator has
agreed, in view of the fact that one
federal judge (Hanford) is a resident
of Seattle, to have the new man come
from some other county, probably
Pierce. That will be satisfactory to
Pierce county, but it does not suit
King.
Judge Albertson, OF the local supe-
rior court, has the political backing of
the King county republican club and a
number of their political organiza-
tons. His friends are making hard
fight for him. Senator Piles, il is said,
has agreed not to name any King
county man for office who is not en-
dorsed by the King county republic
can club. If he sticks to that agree
ment he cannot name his former law
partner George Donworth. He must
either name Judge Albertson or let
the appointment go outside of King
county In short the senator must
either disappoint King or Pierce coun-
vt, or many republicans in both, and
the mixup is probably not pleasant
one for him. if he intends to seek re-
election two years hence

STEAM DREDGE FOR
MCKEE COUNTRY
To Prevent Sub-Irrigation of Valuable
Lands on First Bench in East
Valley-TOO Much Water.

Sub-irrigation is to be treated hero
ically in the Mckee country by the
Mckee company. No such condition
of water as confronted the people of
MabtOn, Prosser and other irrigated
sections is to be allowed to come into
existence in the beautiful valley to
the east of North Yakima. A steam
shovel has been purchased and q ditch
or series Of bitches If necessary will
be constructed running to the Yaki-
ma river from as far east as the Ran
kin ranch. In this the surplus water
will be carried away and turned back
into its proper channel after 1t has
done its duty as an irrigator.
Water Is Injurious.
Too much water, as was recently
pointed out by scientists from the
State college, is one Of the worst fea-
lures that ranchers have to contend
with In some sections the accumu-
native water has brought to the sur
face undesirable attributes of the
soil. So far the Mckee country has
escaped this drawback but it has had
the water to contend with.
Shovel Here Today.
The shovel, which was procured
from the Milwaukee road, will arrive
In North Yakima today and will at
once be removed to the Mckee that
the work of ditching may be under
taken with the least possible delay,
having been purchased by H. B. Scud-
der. Preventive measures. taken in
time to forestall any accumulation of
water, are considered to be far bet

edied has arisen. 1t is also known
that far less work is needed to pre-
vent an accumulation of water than
to remove 1t.
Much Drainage Work Done.
Draining of one kind and another
has been carried on extensively with
in the past few years in various parts
of the Yakima country. In and about
North Yakima. where the results of
over-irrigation have manifested them
selves. large sums and immense ex-
penditure of time and energy have
been made to relieve special districts.
One man. Del Hiscock. is said to have
expended as high as $4,000 in drain
ing his property. This work has been
of the retail kind. That to be under
taken by the Mckee company will be
wholesale. Miles of country will be
benefited by the ditch which is to be
constructed. The result of the under
taking will be watched with a great
deal of interest and 1t is a safe predic-
ton that IL the shovel does its duty
and the ditch proves effective the
method will have many dcvotees.

SPUD PRICES

SOUND SHORTAGE CAUSES RISE
Rise Expected by the End of the Week
Alaska Demand and California
Shortage Cause FURRY.

Substantial rises in the price of po-
tatoes in the sound markets has caus-
ed q slight shortage in the supply
available for market, owing to a dis
position on the part of the farmers
and commission men to hold the spuds
for higher prices. Yakima potatoes
are quoted in the sound markets at
from $32 to "a per ton. The. indica-
lions are strong for another rise be-
fore the end of the week. Heavy po-
tato demands from Alaska and a
shortage in the California markets has
caused a brisk demand for the tubers,
and in an effort to corner the market
the price may jump to $3.50, fancy
price at this time of the year. Eggs
still command % cents per dozen

Miss Moves Delights Audience.

1t was with the keenest anticipa-
tion that the audience at the opera
house Monday night awaited the ap-
pearance of Miss Noyes, the imper-
senator of Boston, and before she
had been on the stage five minutes
it was plainly to be seen that her
program would more than please a
critical audience. Miss Noyes has
winning personality and a charm of
manner that holds her audience in
rapt attention.
Her program was charming col
lection of impersonations which
showed her keen sense of humor
and her undeniable knowledge of
human nature, especially child ma
ture. Not a hint of self-conscious-
ness marred the perfection Of her
pOrtrayals. In fact, it was in her
perfect naturalness and simplicity
that lay the secret of her charm and
her true art. Every word, look and
gesture conveyed a distinct idea,
making her characters seem indeed
real
The Ladies Auxiliary, under
whose auspices the entertainment
was given, is to be congratulated
in being able to present an artist of
such rare merit BY so doing it has
established a precedent which our
citizens will not fail to remember.
One very great source of the even
ing's enjoyment was the music by
the Grants Pass orchestra, COM
pany of musicians such as Grants
Pass is proud to have appear in such
a program as that presented on Mon
day night. The giving of their SER
vices is greatly appreciated by all

a financial standpoint as the audi
ence was a large one.
