Mldener Incorporated.

On Monday last the petition of the citizens of WideDer for incorporation was favorably passed upon by County Judge Rolfe, the requisite number of names being appended thereto and no opposition appearing.

It has long out grown it's baby clothes, and has att tained that dignity of size and popn- lStion which render necessary city government. Its officers have not yet been chosen, but we are confident the best material tand there is large lot of it1 will be selected, and the town receive a new impetus toward great ness. It is in the very heart of farm ing country which has no superior and there is no reason why it should not grow and prosper.A patriotic and pro- gressive citizenship and rich territory tributary to il ought to make Widener good town. And il will.

Lands that were under water this time last year, and could not be cultivated, are now all ready to plant and in fine shape.

II COOK AND FEARY WE'RE NOT
OF SNNIE NATION

Although it has been taken as a
Joke there is much serious good sense
in the remark of an English news
paper that it is well for international
peace that both Cook and Peary are
Americans.
The civilized world has divided into
parties on the north pole controversy.
DR.. Cook is Vchemently defended by
the large number of partsans whom
he has attracted by his temperate ut
teranCes and decent behavior. on the
other hand, there are many persons
who. disregarding Peary's rather dis
pleasing manner of speech. take his
side because he is better known than
Cook and because they do not think he
would make such charges if he had
not the evidence to support them.
But if Cook were an Englishman or
a German the division of opinion
would cleave along national lines and
the feelings aroused would be go bitter
that the peace of the world might be
gravely imperiled
OF course. England and the United
States would not go to war formally
to determine whether DR.. Cook really
reached the north pole. But the con-
lIONtISS III lllt press Noulu DttOlue
acrimonious. Prejudices would be eX-
cited National feeling would be
raised to a white heat. And just at
the wrong moment some trivial Incl
dent would occur that the passions of
the populace in the two countries
might magnify into an intentional in
suit.
The true causes of war are seldom
the causes stated in declarations.
When two nations are in a friendly
mood toward each other they will
make od-humored allowances for
each others mistakes. But when pub
lie opinion in country is suspicious
and bitter toward the other an acct
dental collision between ships, a casual
mishap to a flag or a diplomat or an
outbreak by q small mob is enough
to start hostilities. The sinking of the
Maine in Havana harbor was not the
cause of the war with Spain.

RIGHT OF WAY is CONTESTED.

According to present appearances
quite lively scrap is in prospect be-
tween the North Coast railway and
the Chicago. Milwaukee & st. Paul
railway, for the right of way below
the Hanford power plant along the
cliffs at Priest Rapids. The typo
graphy of the country is such at this
point that but one railroad can be
built. The North Coast as early as
April 7, 1909. pre-empted the line,
laterly on April II. the Chicago, Mil
waukee & st. Paul made application
for the same right of way. The COM
missioner of the general land office
refused to allow the application of
the Chicago, Milwaukee & St. Paul
railway company for an exclusive
right of way but directed the local
land office here at North Yakima to
give each road a hearing as to their
respective rights in the premises and
TO show cause why the right of way
is not within a canyon. which should

Why We Are STRONGER.

The old Greeks and Romans we're
great admirers of health and strength;
their pictures and statuary made the
muscles of the men stand out like
cords.
AS a matter of fact we have ath-
letes and strong men-men fed on
fine strength making food such as
Quaker Oats-that would win in any
contest with the old Roman or Greek
champions.
It's a matter of food. The finest food
for making strength of bone, muscle
and nerve is fine oatmeal. Quaker
Oats is the best because it is pure, no
husks or stems or black specks. Farm
ers' wives are finding that by feeding
the farm hands plentifully on Quaker
Oats they get the best results in work
and economy. If you are convenient
to the store, buy the regular size pack
ages; if not near the store buy the
large size family package. Q
