relief from the dull cares of the daily routine

WAS THROWN FROM BUGGY.
Rancher's Shoulder DislOcated and
Other Injuries i'm Runaway
Saturday Night.

Frank Watkins a rancher living
near Yakima City, was seriously in
jured Saturday evening in a runaway
accident and was for time uncon-
scious. One shoulder was dislocated
and the man was evidently badly
shaken up. 1t was thought that he
had sustained no permanent injuries.
Mr. Watkins was driving to his
home, which is not far from the Rud-
kin ranch, about o'clock, when the
team ran away, and he was thrown
from the carriage. He was picked up,
taken to the Roberts home, near Su-
mach park, and surgical aid was rem
dered by Drs. Carver and Cooper, who
were summoned.
The horses kept up a headlong dash
until they struck a barb wire fence,
in which they became entangled. Both
were injured badly but under care of
a veterinary will probably be brought
back to good condition. The team is
a valuable one.

II. w. Golf of Colfax, who is one
of the largest land owners in the state,

more property, the sale of some of
his present holdings and other bust
ness matters. The Colfax man has
placed considerable of the property,
much of which comes under proposed
irrigation canals. in the hands of To-
cal real estate men.
Goff's holdings include 10000 acres
or more, in twelve different counties
and his business card says; Gown 40,

proposed Kittitas high line canal and
extension to the lower valley is re-
ported to be held by Goff, and he also
owns considerable land under the pro-
posed klickitat Irrigation & Power Co

Most of his holdings were purchased
from the Northern Pacific railroad az
time when the land could be Sc
cured for a dollar an acre, and most
of the property is now worth from IS

APPLE INDUSTRY WILL
OUTSTRIP ALL OTHERS
Close Study of Apple Situation Leads
to This Belief and Facts are Shown
in Connection With Changes That
Have Resulted During the Last Ten
Years.

Modern conditions and increased
demands for clean fruit IF color, size
and flavor have made epple growing
highly profitable ;ndusr"y in the
northwest, and there are many, in
Guiding the foremost pjno!ogists, who
believe that the day is no. in the far
distant future when the producers of
the commercial orchards in Washing
ton. Oregon Idaho and Montana will
exceed in value the total yields Of the
bonanza grain fields in these COM
mOnwealths. Indeed, the fruit areas
are being extended so rapidly that
computation of the pr ,haDle cr"p in
1915 is bewildering because Ct it's
enormity; but there is room FOR al
army of growers, opport ln;t;- to make
hundreds of thousands of dollars, t.
establish pleasant homes, to develop
horticulture and to have a part in
the growth and progress of the cum
tly.
Apple Show Educational.
Probably it is in this that the Ma
tional apple show, now an annual in
stitution in Spokane, is of the greate st
educational value to the grower and
the prospective orchardist The pri-
mary purpose OF the exposition, tx
ing place November Is to 20, is an
educational one, even though that OBJ
ect be lost sight of for the moment
by the daZzled spectator at the mon
strous piles of apples; but it is Haz-
arding no guess that the grower has
that primary purpose steadily in his
mind as he compares and contrast
his fruit with the neighboring ex-
hibits.
Many Lessons Taught.
Lessons peculiarly of interest to
the growers in the northwest arc
taught in the showing of the posi-
biIities of intensive cultivation, and
this may be shared by orchardists

LARSON ADDS TWO STORIES.
Structure Will BE the Largest and the
Most Costly of Those Privately
Owned in the City.

Two additional stories arc to be
added to the new Larson building,
formally called the Minnesota build
ing, on South Second street. con
tract was entered into Saturday be
tween A. +. Larson, the owner, and
Oliver Hibarger, the contractor for
the construction, Of the additional
stories at cost of $4,000 This will
make the total cost of the building
approximately 800, 900 and its height
five stories. 1t will be, therefore, the
largest and most expensive building
in the city, unless public buildings be
excepted.
1t is probable that there will be a
hotel in the Larson building and it
is understood that it is with that idea
in mind that the additional stories
are being added. The rooms will be
available either for offices or for hotel
purposes. A 10-foOt hallway is to
divide the front and rear portions,
which will serve as an effective sep
aration, If necessary if the floors are
to be used for different purposes.
For some time Mr.. Larson has been
considering the advisability Of adding
two stories TO his structure. The fact
that he has done so Is a splendid in
dication OF the faith he has in the fut-
ure of North Yakima.

of Canada and the middle states Mr.
Irving states that while he found BUSH

While on the way home his train met
with an experience that nearly cost

age to rolling stock on the Burli.g-

failed to get on by several car lengths
The night being dark and the head

the engineer failed to see the freight

LABOR LEADER
HERE FOR WEEK
WILL ORGANIZE THE CRAFTS
Union Men of North Yakima are
Taking An Active Interest i'm
the Political Game.

G. r. Case, of Seattle, president of
North Yakima and proposes to remain
for several days. His visit is to see
to the organization of all the unor-
ganiZed crafts in this city. He has al
ready met with the Electrical Work
ers and the painters and will meet
with the other bodies as opportunity
presents itself. Mr.. Case is one of
the modern type of union labor men,
recognizing that the union, among
other things, has as a duty: the re-
spOnsibility of making of its members
more efficient laborers in the inter-
ests of the employer and therefore of
themselves. He speaks of the strike
as old fashioned, and an extreme re-
sort and declares to labor that it's in
terests and those of the employer are
frequently identical.
Labor in North Yakima is at this
time taking an active interest in the
primary election, which is held today,
and has selected a ticket of candi-
dates which it will support. This is
the first time that the unions, as such,
have taken a stand in civic politics.
This stand will be more emphasized
when the regular election is held.
Labor men say that as yet they have
made no move on the local option
ject they will probably not touch on
for the present, meaning during the
present local option campaign.

BOSTON PLAN
IS NOT LIKED
YAKIMA DISApPROveS new IDEA
New Form of City Government Adopt-
ell i'm The Hub is Though to be
Too Complicated.

Apropos of the election excitement
in North Yakima, many people on the
street today were discussing the news
of the election held in Boston. Mass
last week, when new form of city
government was adopted. This new
form of municipal control was chosen
by the voters by some 1859 more votes
than given any other plan.
The Des Moines, or commission gov
eminent, was also considered by the
electors, but this was voted down.
Under the new charter, which the city
approved, elections are to be held
without either direct primary or eau
Gus. Nominations are to be made in
every case by petition, to bear the
names of 5000 voters.
No Party Legislation.
The mayor is to be voted for with
out party designation, and is to be sub
ject to recall after two years in office
if the recall is demanded by more
than half of the number of voters
that elected him. Nine aldermen are
also to be elected, they to be chosen
at large, and to be nominated by pc
tition. The mayor gets $4,000 year.
and the aldermen $500 each.
Members of the school board are
also to be elected in the same man
ner, and all other offices are appoin-
tive. The mayor must appoint the
heads of the different departments
from lists furnished him by the state
civil service commission. and the ap-
pointments do not need the approval
of the aldermen.
Yakima people who heard of this
new plan did not incline to believe t
as good as the commission form
of government. Most of them thought
the petitions were the most objection
able features, and would produce all
manner of confusion. In the section
of the law that provides for the pc
titions citizens can sign but one pc
tition nominating a mayor, but may
sign nine for the different aldermen.

Woman's Club has two lots in the
Prosser tract upon which it may com

it may decide to sell. The sale could
now be made at a profit which would
ass ure the club good returns from it's
investment, and the money used for
the purchase of property nearer down
town. The remote location of the
present holdings of the club is an OBJ
lection in the minds of some.

the membership of the union has in

AS practically all the stockholders are

practically half the fruit growers of
