George H. Arnold Of Dearborn
was here Tuesday. He informed
US that the canning factory at
Edgerton would not be open this
season on account of the company
not being able to secure the to-
matoes. He says they have 225
acres of tomatoes near Dearborn
and that he has signed up q con.
tract with the Dearborn Canning
Factory Company to begin work
on July 1 and continue up to
January /, 1910. The reason
that the farmers around Edgerton
cannot afford to raise tomatoes is
that the land rent is too high.

EXHIBITS ARE SENT
TO COUNTY DISPLAY
Apples, Corn, Grapes and Ounces for
the Yakima County Display at
the A.-Y.-P. Exposition.

William Lee, Jr., e. Remy, w. l..
Wright and A. d. Johnston are among
the Yakima growers whose ranches
have produced exhibits for the Yak
ina county building at the A.-Y.-P.
Mr. Wright is represented by apples.
Mr.. Remy by ounces, Mr.. Lee by
grapes, and Mr. Johnston by corn.
Mr.. Wright had several Gloria Mundi
apples, the largest Of which weighed
two pounds, but all Of which were in
the "skookum" class. The Remy
ounces were like everything that Mr..
Remy produces on his ranch east Of
the city. Of the very best quality and
splendid in appearance and size. The
grapes of Mr. Lee, like his asparagus,
have more than a local reputation.
Mr.. Lee is to supply 500 pounds Of
grapes for a decoration OF the Yak
ina exhibit. The corn sent forward
from the Johnston ranch represents
one phase Of what Yakima can do. 1t
consists of three stalks. the product
of one hill, and each stalk bears two
fine ears. Considering the character
of the ears, this is a pretty good in
dication Of what the Yakima soil will

inquire as to the character of the men
who are looking after this municipal
business for him.
1t Is this man who pays the taxes
not the politician. 1t is he who has
most to lose If the men who serve
him as public servants are not men
of integrity. He is very careful In
the selection of meh whom he engages
to look after his private business and
equally careless in the selection of
those who look after his public busi-
ness.
why not take a few hours OFF right
now. Mr.. Taxpayer, and devote that
time to the consideration of num-
cipal affairs. 1t is as much your duty
to see that /the business of the city
of North Yakima is properly conduct
ed as Il is to see that your own pri-
vate business is properly conducted.
You are a stakeholder in this big cor
poration and owe it to yourself to see
that its affairs are not mismanaged.
There are good, clean, honest mon
in North Yakima who would be WILL
ing to serve you, If they were aske
to do so. Why not make an effort
20 get some Of these men to take the
places Of those members of the city
council, for instance, whose first In
terest is to serve the corporation.
There are oftentimes men in the city
council of North Yakima whom you
would not employ in the private BUSH
ness in any capacity.
1t might be a good idea, too. to Sc
lect some one for the mayors chair
who could be depended upoU at all
times to serve the interests Of the peo-
Pile. It isn't necessary that our mayor
should be lawyer; in fact, It would
be better were he a good business
man.
Think this matter over and see II
you can't find the time to get in early
enough to block some Of the games
Of the politicians.

Where the humble bee buns and the
