GIVE POWER TO VALLEY TOWNS
Northwest Light and Water Company
Completes 100 Miles of Trans
mission Work.

The completion of the transmission
line of the Northwest Light and Water
company Friday gives to the people
of Mabton, Wapato, Granger, Sunny
side, Grandview, Kiona. Kennewick
and PaSco electric power. The line
has been under course of construction
for the past six months and means
the beginning of a new era in the de-
Velopment of the section. over 100
miles of wire was stretched. In con-
nection with the power furnished the
light company has installed a tele-
phone and telegraph system which
will place the above points in touch
with the outside world.
superintendent Arrowsmith of the
Northwest Light and Water company
is of the opinion that the completion
of the transmission line will aid in
bringing of the settlers to the COM
munity. The electricity will also fur
nish power and heat to the towns of
the lower Yakima valley, there being
coal in the implediate vicinity. Power
will be furnished for the operation
of small factories and the pumping
of water on unrrigated land. In
course of time the line may also give
power to the proposed electric lines
to tap that section.

PAY RECORD PRICE FOR PRUNES
Highest Price i'm the History of Yaki-
ma Valley Paid Saturday
Output Heavy.

Italians prunes are occupying the
center of the lmelight in the fruit
market. This product sold in local
markets Saturday for $40 per ton, the
highest price ever paid for the prod
uct in the history of the Yakima val
ley. Last year the highest price paid
for the same product was SIG per ton.
The prune crop for the year is within
80 per cent of full crop. The two
largest prune orchards in the valley
are the Redman ranch and the Olson
Royce property in Parker. The caring
for the prune crop has made a busy
season for packers and pickers, the
Horticultural Union employing a night
force the past week. At the Olson
Royce ranch about 200 pickers are
employed in handling the crop. Fair
prices always have been netted from
prunes in the past, but this years
crop and prices will line the pockets
of the growers of that fruit.

DINIMICK BUYS MORE

w. l.. Dimmick has returned to
North Yakima from the Mussel Shell
valley in Montana, where a great deal
of North Yakima capital has been in
VI s1cd. While ttere he added an al
d;tiOn5l section to his land tilings.

OF D;ion of those who havA given the
natter thought it has merit and must
develop. In his opinion it will be to
the other parts of Montana what the
Palouse country is to this. Farmers
in that section are now harvesting
their wheat and Mr.. Dimmick says
the yield is averaging so bushels to the
acre. Roth the irrigated and non-ir
rigated sections, he declares, are ex-
Ccllent and irrigated tracts can be pur-
chased at very cheap price. The
average of rainfall is II inches in a
year and is we'll distributed.
The country. NJ. Dimmick says, is
settling up fast. The day after he had
seen Mr.. Bolles that gentleman took
out five young men to look at home

HOG EPIDEMIC
SWEEPS VALLEY
SWINE DIE BY TIE SCORES
State and City Health Authorities Pre-
pare to Combat Prevalence of Dis
casc-PrOtect Public Interests.

An epidemic of pluero-pnuemoni
is playing havoc with hogs in the Yak
ina valley. $50 of the animals in
widely separated districts having died
of the disease within the past ten
days. The epidemic is general, being
first discovered in the Wenas district
and breaking out in other farming To-
calities within the week. The Ahtan-
UNI, Mckee, Cowiche and reservation
sections are fighting the plague. The
seriousness of the situation has caus-
ed Deputy State Health officer Fitch
to make a personal inspection of the
hogs in these districts, and has called
upon State Veterinarian Nelson, of Pull
man, to come to this city at once in
an effort to stamp out the disease,
which is contagious and liable to be
communicated to other stock.
Protect Public.
Steps to protect the public from in
fected pork have been taken by the
city authorities, and an order has
been issued that no hogs be slaughter
ed unless officially inspected and APP
proved. Monday officer Fitch made a
tour of the country districts and Sat
urday condemned many hogs thought
to be in danger of falling a prey to
the ravages of the disease Both the
state and the city will cooperate in
fighting the disease. Arrests and pros
ecution will follow any attempt to sell
at public markets pork not duly ap-
proved. In case the disease gets be-
You'd the control of the authorities, it
will mean the loss of thousands of
dollars to farmers in stock. officer
Fitch declares the situation critical.
Stock Dies Fast.
Stock affected with the disease dies
fast, enduring the attacks but a short
period. One of the symptoms of the
disease is coughing followed by mu-
cous secretions from the nasal organs
Fear is expressed that the disease will
spread to other animals. In combat
ing the disease radical and prompt
action is necessary, one of the meas
ures being the burning of all dead
diseased hogs. In 1886 the hogs of
Kansas were attacked by an epidemic
similar to the one now sweeping the
Yakima valley, and before its end the
loss aggregated close on to a hundred
thousand dollars.

eral route of the underground current,
which is about 1000 feet wide. Supt.
Arrowsmith suggest that a drain
across this current will intercept the
seepage water. He offers to permit
the city to use the mill ditch for an
outlet to the drain which may be built
at a very small cost.
The underground theory will COM

eer and plans will be submitted show

FAIR IMPROVEMENTS
ARE BEING PUSHED
Secretary Spencer of State Fair Says
That No Meeting Could be Held
This Year at All.

So many improvements in the state
fair grounds are now under way, ac-
cording to Secretary H. B. Spencer,
that it would be impossible to hold a
fair this season if one had been
scheduled. Owing to the exposition
at Seattle, where the products of the
community and those of every other
section of the state are now on dis
play, it was decided early in the year
to hold no state fair this season. Ac-
cordingly the improvements in the
buildings and grounds which the lib
eral appropriation of the legislature
permitted are being made this sum-
mer and next season the state fair at
North Yakima will again take its
place in the forefront of midsummer
attractions in the state of Wash

Coal Commissioner of Michigan Finds
After Leaving That This Is an
Excellent Country.

r. w. Davis of Saginaw, Mich, coal
commissioner for large district in
that state, formerly of the Mckee val
ley is back in North Yakima looking
for land. He had 20 acres here once,
in the Mckee. He sold it last spring
for $1,000 and would buy it back now
for $4,000 if he could, but he can't.
However, he will pick up another
tract and in time will return to make
his home here. When a resident here
Mr.. Davis thought this a beautiful
place but he still had visions of the
beautiful conditions prevailing in
Michigan. When urged to return to
his duties there as coal commissioner
he did SO, but ever since has been
thinking of the Yakima valley. Snow
and cold weather in northern Michi-
gan in May made him remember this
beautiful country and a thousand and
one other experiences made him re-
call his sojourn here and wish he had
extended it.
Its no use," said Mr.. Davis you
people here have the finest climate in
the world and the best country, and
between us | think perhaps a little
more of it would make me more
cheerful
Mr.. Davis has been visiting j. d.
Johns, a relative. From here he Will
go to Seattle and thence south, re-
turning then to Michigan.

in Seattle but are reluctant to talk
of their past, friends or relatives.
One Takes Blame.

burglary, claiming that his pal had
nothing to do with the crime. The
stories of the two boys under a

which could be used in hunting led
them to enter the paths of crime.

SEES GREAT POSSIBILITY,
Russia's Irrigation Expert Visits Tie
ton and Says He Is Impressed
With What He Saw.

f. Snorniakoff of st. Petersburg.
Russian irrigation expert, who has
been in the United States since last
March making study of irrigation
systems, both private and those built
by the government. made a trip over
the Tieton project Thursday. He said
that he was very much impressed
with this piece of work because of its
difficult aspects. He likes the soil
in and about Yakima and says that
he can see Il great future for the
Yakima valley. as great as for any of
the other sections that he has visited,
and he has now visited those of the
Rocky Mountain region, Colorado,
Idaho and Montana, as well as
Washington, with the exception of the
Okanogan He will leave today for
Seattle and the Okanogan district will
next require his attention.
Mr.. Snorniakon says that Russia is
interested in irrigation because of the
arid section Of Turkestan and eastern
Asia as well as southern Russia. He
says the soil in these sections is very
similar to that found in the United
States arid regions and that it is fully
as fertile and productive as the good
book has led people to believe. The
pumping plants at Hanford, Kenne-
wick and White Bluffs proved very
interesting to the visitor. He will
spend the rest of this year studying
irrigation and agricultural problems
in this country and will probably re
turn to Russia by way of Manchuria
and the Siberian railroad early next
year.

strength of a food to which benzoatc
of soda has been added is thereby re-
duced lowered, or injuriously affected
"You know the conclusions to which
