Commander-inCh Chief Van San; of

the WOmen's Relief corps and former
Minnesotans at the commercial club

SUNNYSIDE TO HAVE
PLENTY OF FRUIT.
Eastern Buyer Says That He Finds
the Lower Valley to be Well Sup
piled With Apples.

Sections which have not hitherto
shone as the heaviest fruit yielders
are this year likely to shine brilliantly
both for the quality and quantity of
fruit they will produce. The Mckee
valley and Sunnyside are cases inpoint
Reports are that both sections have
no complaint to make, as have other
sections, of a scarcity. Both these
valleys have been known to complain
when other districts were well sup
piled and happy, but this year, for
some reason, the conditions are rever-
sed 1t is suggested in some quarters
that the severity of the weather which
last winter played havoc with the side
hills was a good thing for the valleys.
A fruit buyer who was in North Yak
ina Saturday said some very pretty
things of Sunnysde. He said
Il came west to buy 100 cars of
fruit. l did not intend to buy the
entire lot in the Yakima valley and 1
have not, by long shot. | have
bought 80 carloads in and about Sun
nyside, however, l have found more
fruit in and about the Sunnyside dis
trict than in North Yakima, in Wenat
chez, in Rogue River or in any of
those sections. 1t is fine fruit too.
let me tell you. 1t is so fine that |
offered one man there $500 a box for
know yet whether l will get them"

PRAISE FOR
HARTMAN
NOT OGRE = BIG AMERICAN
Railroad Magnate Soon to Return
From Abroad-Center of New York
Interest Wall Street Concerned.

NEW YORK. Aug. ca As the
Kaiser Wilhelm III draws nearer her
pier the public interest in Harriman's
return grows acute. The general
anxiety of his health has found ex-
preston in a series of published ap-
precautions of his personality and ac-
Movements such as probably never be-
fore were accorded a private citizen.
Alexander Miller. secretary of Har-
riman lines, said: Mr. Hartman has
been pictured as an ogre, a huge
spider, an octupus. You don't known
what big hearted, big souled man he
really is. | call him today the biggest
brainiest, most patriotic American we
have" There is manifest disappoint-
ment on Wall street at Hartman be-
ing unable to resume active charge of
the great interests with which his
name is associated

EXHIBIT Is NOW ASSURED
Yakima County Engages Floor Space
i'm ChicagO-COmmittee Appointed
to Secure Cooperation.

Yakima county will have a display
at the Land and Irrigation EXPOSE
ton in Chicago In November. 1t will
comprise 500 square feet of space on
the main aisle. The display will be
composed of the best exhibit of fruit
that the Horticultural Union and the
growers of Yakima can get together
Nearly $500 of the expense to provide
the exhibit was raised in two hours
Friday evening and the work has not
yet begun in real earnest.
Response Immediate.
Secretary r. B. Cross of the Land
and Irrigation exposition met wi.
the A.-Y.-P. committee Friday after
noon and explained the advantages to
be derived from an exhibit at the eX-
position, also all of The plans in con-
nection with the big show in Chicago
which will take place during the an
nual Live Stock show. 1t was pointed
out that no more opportune time cou'd
be found for publicity work than this
one and the members of the commit
tee were impressed with the POSSIBLE
tiles. Inasmuch as any action on the
part of the committee would make
such action official an adjournment
was taken and the meeting was con-
tinued in the shape of a mass meeting,
Carries Out Old Plan.
Early in the season the CONNER
cial club decided to send several err
loads of apples east this year for adj
vertising purposes. The expense in
cidental to this plan was included in
the budget for the years publicity
work. Those who have considered
the Land and Irrigation expo stion
orro' tunity are of the opia Oh that
n display at that show will accomplish
more at less cost than might be pos
sible under the original plan and that
an opportunity is presented heca of
by laying plans for a typical display
at the coming exposition. A com
mittee composed of w. w. Butler, of
Grandview, C. H. Furman, of Zillah
and w. N. Irish OF North Yakima
was appointed to confer wiz the
clubs of the valley and this committee
is to be known as the Yakima Chicago
exposition committee. Thorough CO.
operation from all of the clubs in the
valley will be sought in perfecting the
final plans. The exhibit is already
assured

YAKIMA RIVER PROSPECTED
Steam Dredge to Be Put on If Show
ing of Gold Is Salts
factory.

ELLENSBURG, Aug GOV. r.
Beeson and Albert Brown, placer
miners of California, are here to inves-
tigate the gold finds made on the
banks of the Yakima river, below
Thrall. With w. Il. Lewis they will
prospect the river near Ellensburg
and if colors are found they will install
a dredge and begin mining.
They arrived yesterday and met p.
H. W. Ross and w. T. Lewis. The col
ors found by Lewis and Q. o. Felkner
were shown the two men and they
are confident that steam dredges can
take gold in large quantities from
the bed of the river
A week will be spent in prospecting.
The juncture of the Swauk with the
Yakima river will be carefully pros
pected for gold, and the confluence of
other streams and the river will be
tested. If gold in paying quantities
is found Mr.. Beeson and Mr.. Brown
will report to their principals and a
huge dredge capable of handling hun
dreds of yards of dirt in a day will be
built.
The scheme to be adopted is that of
sinking a bOiler-iron caisson II inches
wide and 80 feet long to the bottom
of the river. Then with a suction
pump fixed on a scow the water and
sand is to be withdrawn and the Gals
son sunk until it rests on bedrock.
AS the mud and silt is pumped from
the river bottom it will be suiced.
The depth of bedrock has not been ac-
curately determined, but it is expect
ed to lie at a depth of from five to
sixty feet.
81 gave the men all the encourage
ment I could" said Mr.. Ross yester-
day. 81 and several others had a
dredge on the river sixteen years ago,
but our capital was exhausted before
we made any money. The apparatus
we used was not of the proper kind.
1t was adapted to the mud of the Mis-
souri, river and slow-flowing eastern
streams, and was practically useless
in the Yakima. We secured 25 cents
TO the pan when we worked, and l
think that if the work is done right
big pay will be found on the bedrock
of the Yakima"

to date, been rather conservative as
a flyer, is the young man who is
alarming the Mckee. George Ker, an
other uncle of his, with whom he is
spending the summer, has also been
interested in the sport, but it is ru-
mored that he tried to fly stiff-legged
like the stork, and because he did not
gather his props up under him those
members crashed into stump and
tangle of sagebrush in a surprisingly
vicious manner, and now he watches
the other flutter
The aeroplane of the Mckee valley
is glider. 1t was invented and built
by Mr.. Bell, with the aid and assist
ance of Mr.. Ker. The glider is the
forerunner of the aeroplane. The
Wrights first practised into the school
of applied aeronautics.
The glider is an aeroplane without
an engine, and is usually smaller. The
operator hooks his arms into it. runs

That is, he is off the lifetime being.
but the landing after the glide is the
ticklish part about gliding.
If glider will glide, theoretically.
it will fly with an engine, if made
large enough to carry this added
weight. Mr.. Bells glider glides. There
are witnesses to testify to that all
over the valley. Hop pickers have
stopped aghast at this apparation in
the sky but when they found speech
again they made up for lost time. Oh,
it will glide to a fare you well!

WH|SKEy ITEM
WAS INCLUDED
IN AN UNLICENSED HOTEL BILL
Sent to sheriff Lancaster and Held
Against Butcher Who Passed
Bad Checks.

Late Saturday night Sheriff Lam
caster returned from Pasco with II.
Harris of Walla Walla, wanted here
on a charge of passing worthless
checks The warrant was sworn to
by j. b. Dazet, upon whom Harris
cashed a check for $50 on Saturday
evening August IA. other checks
and bills that Harris is alleged to
have been responsible for have
turned up which bring the total up to
nearly 500.
Harris is a brother of Gus Harris,
a prominent and successful cattle
man and packer of Walla Walla it is
said All of the checks were signed
Harris & Company. by Fl. Harris"
1t is said that passing bad checks is
one of the prisoners old failings and
there are many people acquainted in
the Walla Walla country who tell
many shady stories about this gentle
mans past record. 1t is said that his
brother has expended many hundreds
of dollars in Strengthening out previ-
Gus difficulties. An attorney from
Franklin county is now in the city en-
deavoring to settle the charges.
Late Monday evening Brooking &
Company, Front street saloon,
swore out another warrant for
Harris, in case the first charge slipped
up. one amusing feature which the
whole affair brought to light was
batch of bills that Harris is said to
have skipped out and left when he
shook Yakima dust from his feet
week ago. The landlady of room
ing house where he stopped not only
included in her bill such items as
room rent, laundry. etc, but whiskey
as we'll InasmuCh as she has no Ii
cense permitting her to sell liquor,
her zeal to collect what was coming
has sort of tipped her hand The
police will investigate. Further de-
velopments in the Harris case are
looked for today.

WtLLMAN FAILS IN LAST TRY.
AerOcraft Meets With Accident When
Success Seems the Brightest-TOrn
on Jagged HummOcks of Ice.

CAMP WELLMAN, Spitzbergen,
Aug. 21.-Walter Wellman's second
attempt to sail over the North Pole in
balloon resulted in a failure. Under
the most suspicious circumstances the
daring explorers took their seats in the
car and the anchors were cast loose
after some preliminary maneuvers in
which everything worked to perfection
the aerocraft headed northward ma

miles when everything seemed to be

rope to which was attached 1000
pounds of provisions broke away and
the airship shot up into the air until
great height above the clouds was
reached. Pilots brought her to earth
