In addition to the new bench Of re-
torts, it will be necessary to install
double the amount of other machin-
cry. including such apparatus as con-
densers. engines and pumps.
The cost of the new container will
be abort $4,000, and the other ma
chinery will cost about $4,000. The
new mains will be placed at an ap-
proximate cost of $50, 900.
May Double Again.
"The company is doing huge
business. more than was ever anti
lcipated," said Manager Brown Satur-
day afternoon in speaking about the
improvements. Some of this bust
ness has come from installation of
gas in old residences. but most has
come from new homes.
Few people have any idea of the
great growth that North Yakima is
making. often wonder what will
be the situation with public service
companies when the Tieton lands are
irrigated. The city will then grow
even more rapidly than II has been
growing during the past two years.
We must be prepared for that, but
the doubling of our plant, do not
believe, will care for the increase
that will come in few years through
this development.
THE best that can be done is to
improve and grow rs the city and
the surrounding residence district
grows. The Yakima Gas Co. will try
to keep pace with the growth of the
city. It has ample financial backing
that will be able to handle all i'm
provements."

She saws. "The idea," and denies
that she takes a bunch of keys to bed
with her.
She SAYS he wilfully struck her in
the mouth with his elbow, knocking
ont three teeth and loosening q

voluntary reflex of his elbow, due to
her tickling him in thesribs with the
bunch of keys, and that he had no
intention of hurting her.
She says he left the house without
offering to do anything for her. He
says she spurned his offers.
He returned three days later at
$50 n. m. accompanied by his
brother and a moving van, made her
get up from the bed she had been
occupying exclusively since the quar-
rel, and began to move ont the fur

Mrs. Roemmich called a police
man. She was sitting on couch
which her husband wanted TO take

her against the wall. Policeman

Editor Yakima Herald: ] have

any extent. Through your columns
l desire to give my reasons and wish
to confine myself strictly to Yakima
valley. The condition of the wealth
er in the early part OF January has
not been as severe on trees as some
would have us believe. Gradually
the weather grew cooler until 10 to
15 degrees below zero was register
ed. This condition prevailed for a
period of from four to five days.
Peach trees were prepared. the sap
was down, healthy buds were abso-
lutely dormant The result, there
fore. was that nature prepared the
trees for 1t. The condition OF the
buds at the time of the cold spell was
able to withstand the strain upon it.
If on the other hand the weather
condition had been mild and sud
den drop in the temperature to 10
or Is degrees below zero had oc
Cured. there would probably have
been occasion to fear the loss of the
peach and apricot crop. Let us look
at the conditions in the early part
February "a, 1906, the Herald pub
lished an article, as a result of re-
ports emanating from this city. that
the fruit in the valley had been con-
siderably injured by the recent cold
weather. NJ. S. Meeks, Northern Pa
Cific agent, has been asked to submit
clippings from the local papers to the
general headquarters of the company
at st. Paul. 1t is understood that
the Northern Pacific fears that these
reports will cause a decrease in the
immigration of eastern people to this
the truth of the matter should be
published, broadcast. 1t is fact
almost unimpeachably established
that the fruit has not been damaged
to any extent whatever in this valley
For the purpose of ascertaining the
true condition OF the fruit the Herald
asked Paul Kruger yesterday to make
a careful examination of apricots

RICHLAND, Wash. Jan. 50.
While Richland has only been on the
map for little more than two
years it has industries that would
do credit to town much older. The
united industries company of Chi
cago, who recently purchased sec
ton of land from the Richland Land
company which they will plant to
apples, peaches and cherries, etc,
have purchased their supply of nur
sery stock from the Richland Nur-
sery company, a local institution.
This company intends to set the en-
tire section TO fruit this spring. sub
dividing it into five and ten acre
tracts and sell it to bomeseekers.
They will care for the land for five
years, at which time they will tWn
1t over to the purchaser
It hardly seems possible that
where two years ago nothing but
sagebrush and sand with an occa-
sional coyote and jackrabbit habitat
ing the country, there could be a
town with such activities as has
Richland. This prosperity is due to
the Richland Land company. who
purchased the interests of the Ben
ton Water company. thereby making
it possible to irrigate 10000 acres of
sand and sagebrush. Their new
ditch is 10 miles long, the greater
part of which is completed Water
has already been turned in at the
headgates and a force OF men are

BILE
This is the shortest canal covering
the same amount OF land in the
northwest.
The town of Richland has taken
the appearance of a first class town
very rapidly. j. II. Stenson is erect
ing a modern two-story concrete
building GO by 70 feet. The lower
floor will be devoted to store rooms,
while the upper will be designed for
office rooms. There are at least ten
residences that would do credit 10
any town or city in course OF con-
struction at the present time. Many
more will be constructed in the near
future. 1t can truly be said that
Richland is no shack town.
School opened last September
with so pupils. They now have an
enrolment of 125 and employ seven
teachers.
The people of this community in
their hustle and hustle to acquire
wealth and improve their homes
have not lost sight of the religious
side of life. The German Lutheran
church has under construction a
very handsome edifce of worship,
while the Methodist and Christian
churches intend to erect buildings of
their own in the near future.
This project was put on the mar
ket little over 90 DAYS ago. A great
deal of this time has been stormy
and disagreeable. yet over 1000
acres ahve been sold to date. and it
is stated that at least IS per cent of
these purchasers will improve their
tracts this year, proving that home
builders and not investors have been
buying this land. Another signifi-

A\TI-SALOON BILL.
Ordinary LoOpholcs Corked Up
"Anti-SaloOn Territory" Not
Well Defined.

The local option bill which it is
proposed to enact into law. has al
ready divided the Legislature into
two hostile camps, and the Herald
takes this opportunity, while the bill
is in the hands of the judiciary COM
mittee, to set forth the provisions Of
the bill, in order that the voters may
have an idea of what their represen-
tatives and senators are preparing
to vote for or against
The bill was made out in duplicate,
and on January > it was introduced
in the senate as Senate Bill No. IS.
Three days later it was introduced in
the house as House Bill No 90. In
both branches it was referred to the
judiciary committee, which action is
generally held to have been a victory
for the opponents of the measure, it,
being supposed that the gentlemen
now having it under consideration
will undertake to make several radi-
cal alterations in its provisions.
Anti-Saloon Territory.
The bill provides for the creation
of anti-salOon territory, in which the
sale Of Intoxicating liquor or the IL
cense for sale shall be prohibited.
Auti-saloon territory is defined as all
territory within the limits of any
county, township. municipal corpora
ton or any precinct or part thereof
which lies outside of municipal
corporation and is not q part of
township in this state" in which the
voters have decided TO prohibit the
sale of liquor.
How to Proceed.
To create anti saloon territory
petition bearing the signatures of at
least 20 per cent of the voters of one
OF these political subdivisions is filed
with the clerk of the board of coun-
town or city, as the case may be. This
official calls a special election within
90 days, and the voters vote ives"
or mo" on the question. Shall this
County. voting precinct. city or
township become nnti-saloon terri
tory" A majority voting "Yee'
makes the district anti-saloon terri
tory.
Liquor as Defined.
Intoxicating liquor in~'udes every
thing, medicated or rot, containing
more than one-half of one per cent
of alcohol except preparations made
by druggist which would not sub
iect him to special liquor tax by the
L. s. government.
In anti-saloon territory, 90 per
cent of the voters signing a petition
may cause vote to be taken on the
question, Shall this district continue
to be anti-saloon territory and =
negative vote will allow the sale of
liquor again as before. Having vot-
ed on either OF these questions. how
ever, the voters must wait until the
next regular biennial election before
voting again.
