SET THOUSANDS
OF FRUIT TREES
Nursery Stock of Yakima County
Dealers Is Getting Low rs Re-
suit of Heavy Demand.

Thousands of fruit trees are be-
ing set in Yakima county this spring,
and every nurseryman in the Yakima
valley reports that stocks are becom-
ing depleted. This is especially true
of the stock of apple trees in the nur-
series, while pears and peaches are
also getting few in number.
All through the Yakima valley
there has been general tendency
during the past year to plant or.
chards, and this tendency is on the
increase. 1t is consevatively figured
that over million trees have already
been ordered for spring planting.
There is also a decided shortage
in seed potatoes this year. with the
result that a number of ranchers who
did not lay in their supply during the
fall or early winter are paying some
fancy prices for "spuds." Seeds of
the early varieties are bringing $45
a ton, with about $40 for Petted
Gems and Burbank seed.

Through Alfred II. Henry and j.
H. Lynch the subscription committee
of the Yakima Commercial club made
an informal report during the pro-
gress OF the meeting that North Yak
ima's share of the subscription would
be ready before that date. The task
of raising $4,000 in North Yakima
and vicinity is no small one, al
though there have been many liberal
contributions, but the members of
the committee have information at
hand to convince any doubling one
that Yakima county will benefit large
ly from such an expenditure.
Other sections reported good pro-
gress in raising subscriptions, and it
is anticipated that the entire amount
necessary for the building. exhibits
and publicity work will be raised be-
fore the next meeting OF the com
mittee, on the afternoon of Thurs
day, March is. at the Yakima Com
mercial club rooms.

LEAGUE SHY
OF UMP|RES
NOBODY WANTS ORNtRY JOB
Col. Payne in Seattle Looking for
Catcher to Hold Nelson's Shoots
Good Practice Sunday.

Who are to be the umpires in the
Yakima Valley league, is a question
that is bothering the heads of that
organization. So far several men,
adopts with the indicator, have been
approached but have turned an icy
stare on the thankless and ornery
job. The glory of being howled and
hooted at by a wild-eyed mob has no
attractions for the half dozen ap-
preached. Any one who feels that he
would like the job, and can handle it
in a creditable manner, is invited to
step forward and show his creden-
tials.
Col. Payne of the Tigers is in Sc
attic on business and looking for a
catcher to hold "Spitball'' Nelson S
shoots and drops. So far there has
been on available timber capable of
holding down the job, and the Tiger
manager has gone on a still hunt for
a receiver When the season starts
there will be IA men on the roll, in
Guiding a couple of pitchers besides
Nelson, who is alone assured of his
job. Letters are pouring into Tiger
headquarters asking for jobs. One
man says he is willing to do Tiger
uniform if given a light job, bartend-
ing preferred. The letter was torn
up.
The practice Sunday afternoon
brought out a good crowd, but the
weather was not conducive to fast
playing About 200 spectators chat
tered and shivered on the side lines,
watching the Tigers chase the horse
hide.
First Game of Season.
The first ball game of the season
was played Sunday afternoon at the
Cascade mill grounds between the
Cascade -nunderbolts and the East
Side Scrubs. The Thunderbolts won
the game by the score of 10 to s, but
the East Side bunch carried off the
honors of the day. by one of their
sterling batsmen hammering out a
home run in pinch. The same
teams will lock horns again next Sun
day.

LANCASTER TO
Save THE ROADS
Asks Legislature Not to Repeal the
State Aid Plan, Which Has
Been So Beneficial.

OLYMPIA, March 5.-Mr. Samuel
Hill, the embodiment of the good
roads movement in Washington, re-
turned to Seattle today, after having
consulted several prominent senators
and representatives on the subject OF
pending road legislation. Mr.. Hill is
stoutly opposed to the idea of aban-
doning the state aid program, mi
tiated under the law passed at the
last session, and thinks that the
enactment by the senate of the re-
peal bill which has gone up from the
house would prove little less than a
calamity to the state.
Mr.. Hills reasons for his attitude
on the subject, coupled with his mag
unanimous and disinterested labors on
behalf of good road development
have caused during the last "a hours
a change Of viewpoint among sena-
tors and representatives who were OPP
posed to further experiment with the
state aid problem.
Mr.. Hill insists convincingly that
not only Washington. but the states
of the far east that are advanced in
the knowledge o. road construction,
are still in the primary school of ed
cation on the subject. His plan OF
progress along certain fixed lines is
now better comprehended by several
of the lawmakers, who had begun to
regard with despair the proposal OF
fragmentary or mile-unit construc-
tion in the counties. The system of
good roads Mr.. Hill would have the
state work out is to begin with scien-
tific training at the colleges, from
which the output of the engineers OF
the future is to guarantee the very
highest class Of standardized con.
struction under the state highway
department.

YAKIMA PUT TO BIG TEST
Their Approval of Orchards rs an In
vcstment Seems to Verify Wild
est Claims.

That Yakima has made an unms-
taxable impression on the east. and
especially in New York, is evidenced
not only by the reports which are
spread by local merchants who return
with the gladstone tidings every few
weeks, but better still, by the fact
that the Yakima club in New York
city, which comprises many very en-
inent financiers, are stating to their
friends without hesitancy, that SO
far as their knowledge goes, there is
no other place anywhere which offers
the same security as an investment
as Yakima orchard lands.
AS proof of this fact two men very
prominent in financial circles. James
l.. Parsons, cashier of the Chemical
National bank, of which Hetty Green
is heavy stakeholder, and James e.
Edwards. cashier and credit man for
Siegel, Cooper & Co., were in Yaki-
ma several months ago and have since
become Yakima land owners. These
men have spent their entire lives in
positions where mistakes meant ruin
to the interests which they represent
as well as ruin to their own careers
Would 1t not seem to indicate that
their unqualified approval of Yakima
as proper and profitable invest
ment, shows that this community in
passing their scrutiny, has stood a
remarkable test?
Another man of the same caliber,
who has recently purchased a tract
of Tieton land, is William Gilpin, ac-
tive manager of the New York clear
ing house. Mr.. Gilpin was presented
with the proposition several months
ago and took it under advisement.
During the recent visit of Mr.. Arthur
Henry to the metropolis, he called
Mr.. Henry up by phone and told him
of his decision to get in on the plan.

First Homeseeise.s Train.

The first homeseekers train of the
year passed through this city Friday,
loaded to the running boards with
prospective residents of the North
west. Most of the passengers were
from Minnesota and the Dakotas and
were bound for the northwestern part
of the state. The homeseekers rates
on the Northern Pacific went into eff
feet March 1 and from now on travel
on that line is expected BY railroad
officials to be heavy.

In State Militia Organization for
Small Arm Target Firing.

Co. +, according to the report of
the adjutant general, ranks fourth
for 1903 in small arms target firing
out of the IA militia organizations
in the state. The standing of the
company is remarkable considering
the fact that many raw recruits are
in the company, whose ability to
shoot has not been fully developed.
The percentage of Co. f was 1872
for shooting, and 81 per cent for drill
work.

G. Fleming of Sunnysidc as Chair
man to Schedule Yakima COunty's
Exhibit Expenditures - Architect
Pohl Reports Progress Made.

Ground is being cleared at the
Alaska Yukon-Pacific exposition
grounds in Seattle for the Yakima
county building, according to a tele-
phone report received on Thursday
evening by the Yakima county COM
mittee at a meeting in the Yakima
Commercial club rooms, while ex-
cellent progress is being made with
the plans, now in the hands of the
exposition architects for slight alter
atoms to conform to the general de-
sign of the grounds.
This report was one of the feat
ures Of an important gathering of the
Yakima committee, at which there
were representatives from all parts
of the county. Sunnyslde, which has
raised about $4,000 to be devoted to
the exhibit and publicity at the ex-
position, was represented by three

Fruitvale, Parker, Belma and other
sections had representatives at the
gathering.
Two important committees were
named by Chairman Dan Mcdonald,
one as advisory to the secretary for
detail matters and the other as a
budget committee. The latter will
have one of the heavy tasks to per-
form, that of making the apportion-
ment and schedule for the expense of
the Yakima exhibit and the public
work connected with it, The forma-
ton of this committee was suggested
by r. K. Tiffany, chairman of the
finance committee of the Sunnyside
Commercial club and was accepted
as the Yakima plan on motion of A.
G. Fleming, also of Sunnyside.
Chairman Mcdonald named A. G..
Fleming as chairman of the commit
tee, with Alex McCredv of Wapato
and E. G. Peck of Fruitvale as the
other representatives. They will con-
fer with the county commissioners
regarding the budget on March 16.
In the meantime, Chairman Flem-
ing will make trip to Seattle, will
visit the exposition grounds. consult
with Architect Pohl and exposition
officials, and return with information
as to every vital point that must be
considered in the schedule.
]. H. Lynch was named as chair
man of the advisory committee. with
John H. Weigel and w. n. Irish as
the other members. This committee
will orange with Secretary New
comb as to the awakening of interest
in any sections that have been back
ward in raising their portion of the
Yakima county fund. and will urge
the subscription list, which must be
completed and filed within two weeks.
The committee set March IS as the
final limit for subscriptions.
