of that ground and convert it into a
residence section for it's wealthy class.
That is why it looks good to investors,
even at present prices. The Mob Hill
lands, as a rule, too, are very highly
improved, the most of the little farms
up there having costly residences
thereon. While a good fruit district,
Mob Hill is no better than perhaps
dozen other sections of the valley.
PLENTY of choice fruit land is still
to be had in Yakima county at prices
ranging from 800 to $500 per acre,
conditional on location and value OF

bearing orchard, or one approaching
the bearing stage.
"Even these prices may and doubt

average wheat or corn farmer OF the

travel the cheaper they should find

MARINES MAYG0 ASHORE
Protest AGAINST DiUiding Guard
Duty 5cith Sailors.
LFrom rhe rribune Bureau. ]

Washington Aug 6-The marine corps authori-
ties have protested to the Secretary OF the Navy
against the order of Rear Admiral Seaton Schroe-
der commander in chief of the Atlantic fleet. pro-
mitigating regulations which divide guard duty
aboard ship between marines and sailors The
marine corps officers believe this marks the be-
ginning of the exclusion of marines from ships or
war. and there are indications that determined
effort will be made TO induce the Secretary to in
tervene IN the fight between the navy and the
marine corps With Congress manifestly in
favor of the employment Of marines on shipboard
there is likelihood that the question will be re-
newed at the Capitol but there are some things
which may be done by the naval authorities re-
gardless of the law Admiral Schroeder undoubt-
eddy takes the initial step in this direction by pro-
viding that guard duty board vessels OF the
fleet shall he performed by sailors and marines In
alternate periods. not more than one-hah of the
time to be taken up by the marines This an
nouncement caused considerable connection at the
headquarters of the marine corps. and has re-
suited in animated correspondence with
marine officers board ship The commandapt OF
the corps has appealed to the Secretary of the
Navy for order which would require Rear Adj
miral Schroeder TO recall his regulation.
Secretary Meyer has decided that there is no oc-
casion for interference. He has accepted the navy
view, which is. generally speaking, against the
employment Of marines board ship The ma
rines. however. cannot be entirely withdrawn from
vessels of war. inasmuch the law Is specific on
that point but Secretary Meyer believes that the
officer in command of fret should be permitted
TO exercise his discretion in the way in which the
ma rines should be employed.
There those who see IN this circumstance
further trouble for the marines and who believe
that eventually there must he reorganization OF
the marine corps. providing for It's employment
an entirely basis This will be accom-
pshed. however. without emphatic objection on the
part OF the marines themselves. who in this latest
phase Of the have been prompt and vigorous
in filing a protest. They in a determined frame
Of mind. and not in the least discouraged by the
ineffeCtiveness Of their latest protest
