NORTH YAKIMA
HAS LOST OUT
FAILURE TO BUILD LINE
OF Yakima Transportation Company
to over Valley Will Make That
Country at Expense of This

Chas. r. Bailey of Granger was in
the advertising committee of the A.
Up. exposition, which is preparing
Yakima county book to be distribut-
ed at the Seattle fair,
A Herald reporter asked him what
would be the effect of the present
I railroad movement in the lower val
ley.
'It MEANS" said he that North
Yakima has delayed too long the
building of an electric road into our
part of the valley, for the present ar
rangements shuts out for ever the
proposed interurban system The vari-
GUS towns below Union Gap would
have given a hearty welcome and
heavy support to an electric road
which would have bound us with a
very strong tie to North Yakima. AS
1t is now, every one of our towns
will be reached by steam road and
most OF them will be served by two
competing roads. Main line rates will
prevail everywhere and every COM
munity will make it's shipments direct
from it's own station with the result
that many strong towns will develop
in the lower valley At the present
time fifty per cent of the fruit crop
of Yakima county is grown under the
Sunnyside canal and large portion
of it would have reached North Yak
ina over an electric road. am told
that the Mckee valley supplies half
of the tonnage at present shipped
from North Yakima, but the build
ing of a steam road through the val
ley means the establishment of a
substantial town there which will do
it's own shipping"
Mr.. Bailey called attention to the
fact that out of 100000 acres of land
included in reclamation projects in
Yakima county, 100000 lie below
Union gap and stated his belief that
substantial city must of necessity
develop in the lower country.
To a question from the reporter as
! to where this city will be the reply
came, Granger, of course But
Sunnyside and Toppenish are long
'vay ahead of YOU Eyes" said Mr..
alley. land Yakima City was once a
u c0r place than North Yakima but
rail""ad development reversed the
Condit IN there, and the railroads are
! establishing Granger right now"

Grubbing by Cinnamon.
Most of the grubbing on the Hub
bard place and on neighboring tracts
was done by Chinaman, Shang
Kow, more Familiarity known as John.
Mr.. Hubbard built him a shack of his
did his own cooking. Mrs. Hubbard
won her way to the Celestial heart
by kindness to him when he was
sick and by the seemingly surpris-
ing method of giving him cod liver
oil, which he faithfully took
Even when he wasn't working for
us" said Mrs. Hubbard, Il never had
any wood to carry or water to haul
when the Chinaman was around.
don't know what became of him. He
always said he was going back to
China. At first he grew wheat on our
cleared land, and later alfalfa, as
-Ion as people got to know about
that kind of hay. We set out an or
chard, but later it got scaly and my
grandson, Levi Karr. who lives on
the old place now, cut it down. He
has just set out good many acres
of new orchard now"
Has Killed Many Snakes.
Indians were constantly passing by,
but Mrs. Hubbard says she was never
to. h.. -
were no Indian camping grounds i'm
mediately on the hill, but the Yaki-
mas were travelling about the coun-
try a great deal. They used to call
Mrs. Hubbard "Chief Noses" though
for what reason Mrs. Hubbard was
never able to discover. Though it
was 80 years ago when they first
moved to the hill, she never saw a
rattle snake, she says, on her place.
One day she noticed that the chickens
were acting queerly craning their
necks towards a certain place
in the grass, and went out, to
discover a big bull snake, which she
killed. 1t measured 81 inches. While
not at all fond of snakes, Mrs. Hub
bard has courage enough to kill
them. Back in her home country in
Pennsylvania she had some early ex-
perience with them. One season when
she was teaching school, forest fires
drove the snakes down from the
mountains and it was no unusual oc-
currence to find a rattler summing
himself in the road along which she
had to pass.
az don't like them" said Mrs. Hub
bard, but I kill them every time"
In a country so new that there is
little written history, conversation
with a woman who, like Mrs. Hub
bard has lived the history, is full of
interest Although nearing eighty
years, and suffering some from rheu-
matism. Mrs. Hubbard has preserved
her mental vigor and bodily strength
in that wonderful way known to 50
many of the pioneer women. Hard
work and primitive living, instead Of
wearing them out, seems to bring
them to a splendid old age.

ings suddenly broke through into the
old French workings. A hasty exam
ination was made and it was found
that the true body of ore had been re-
discovered.
Much Silver Also Found,
In addition to the existing ledge of
ore an enormous quantity of silver
ore with considerable gold values was
found in the workings ready for shin
ment This store of ore is valued at
more than 100000. 1t runs eighty
ounces in silver, with occasional
blocked out pillars yielding as high
as eighty ounces in gold.
The old French workings are extern
sive and it will take some time To ex-
plore them. 1t is expected that other
storehouses Of ore will be found in the
mine.

REPORT MANY WHEEL THEFTS
Estimated Fifty Bicycles Stolen Dur
ing the Last Six Weeks-Wheel
Owners Have Trouble.

Bicycle thieves operating in this
city during the past six weeks are es-
timated to have stolen in the neigh
1D.hood of fifty wheels. Frequent
Complaints have been made to the po-
lice regarding the LOSSES sustained
by local people. A few of the lost
articles have been recovered, but the
most of the complaints have been
marked as unbound" The wheels
were stolen in the evening, while left
standing in front of public building
three having been reported missing
from the wheel rack of the Y. M. c. a.
and a like number from in front of the
postoffice the past week.
Take Others Property
In some instances it has developed
that nervy people in hurry have ia
ken other peoples wheels. rode them
to other parts of the city, and left
the means of locomotion to be found
later. The police also say that many
of the reported losses are simply alb
sent minded wheel owners forgetting
where they left their property. The
operations of the present epidemic of
bicycle thefts has extended over a
period of the last six weeks, and from
outward appearances seems to be the
work of an organized gang. Last
fall the police and sheriff's office
broke up gang of bad boys who
stole many wheels and had a cache
on the west side, in which they al
tered the stolen wheels so the owners
could not recognize his property.

MCWH0RTER
WINS FIRST
IN TWO EVENTS AT WHITMAN
Finishes First in 40 Event and Sec
ond in 800 Dash-GoOd Showing
of Local School at Tri-State Meet

At the track meet of the high
schools of oregon. Washington and
Idaho held on Ankeny Field, Walla
Walla, under the auspices of Whit
mancollege, McWhorter of the North
Yakima school won first place in the
440 yard event and finished second
in the 220 yard dash. Remy of the
local school qualified in the high
hurdles and high jump. Smiley will
contest in the shot put. The North
Yakima school also earned the right
in the preliminary tryout to compete
in the relay race. The North Yakima
school is represented by Writ, Smiley
McWhorter, and Remy. The quartet
was accom- panied by Prof. Palmer of
the high school.
Final Contests.
High school athletes from three
states are participating and the show
ing of the North Yakima representa-
tives is highly gratifying to the sup
porters of the local school. McWhort-
er was the star of the tri-valley school
meet held in this city last Friday and
his showing in the Whitman meet,
will boost the final standing Of the
North Yakima school. Smiley and
Remy if up to their last Friday form
have a good chance to win the pole
vault and high hurdles. The same
men will represent the local school at
Pullman and Seattle in June.

The Courtship Cry

nNk of the qualntest and most
~ beautiful customs of the HOpi
is that of courtship, when all mar
riageable girls announce TO the world
that they are thinking seriously of
matrimony. This is also in accord
ance with the ancient tribal custom
by which man was not allowed to
propose. its being the right of the
woman to select her mate In
Hopiland the night is the time Sc
lected for this announcement And
it is always the same When the
village is wrapped in slumber, a
plaintive cry is heard, a long, low
sustained note uttered at intervals
of a few seconds No words are
used and the sound never varies, the
note being only slightly mOdulated.
Could we look into the room whence
issues the plaintive voice, we should
see a young girl bending over the
mealing stones and grinding corn
into meal, working the hand stone
up and down in perfect rhythm. As
she works, she sings, and when she
rests the song ceases, to be taken

Another craft in
which Hopi women
show marked skill IS
basketry. Theymake
several varieties, OF
which the most elab-

IS the wicker plaque,

men of Oraibi. This

the greatest care of their hair. which
is usually straight, though some of
them have Wavy and even curly
hair 1t flows loose on a child; but
when a girl reaches maturity it is

the emblem of maidenhood After
marriage the hair is taken down and
