Arson s. White of the Cowiche, who
installed the honey exhibit for Yaki-
ma county at the exposition at Seat
tie, was in North Yakima Thursday
making arrangements for the honey
exhibits for the fair. The present
honey shown for Yakima county is all
from the White apiary, that being all
the honey available at this time. Mr..
White now wants to replace it with
honey manufactured this year by the
bees and has had several promises
from prominent bee men of the val
ley
outside the Yakima exhibit there is
no honey at the fair except two bot
ties in the California exhibit. The
Californians, however hearing great
praise of the Yakima exhibit, have
sent south for a honey display and, as
Mr. White says, they can make it,"
In order. then, to uphold the honey
reputation of this section Mr.. White
is anxious to get the first and best
available honey and expects the bee
fanciers to stand behind the county
in this regard.

glowing tribute to that organization.
Congress having contributed to the
cost of the memorial. President Taft
said he was present in his official cap

when the men at the formative

I can conceive no bond of union
stronger than that which unites men
who fought from 81 to '65, in the
grand army and it was to the credit
of the founder of the Grand Army Of
the Republic that he saw the solid
basis upon which such a structure as

VALLEY CHILDREN
ITS FINEST PRODUCT
George p. Eaton Voices Thoughts
Caused by Union Picnic of Lower
Valley Sunday Schools.

There are a lot of fine things in
this valley and all are of such a splen-
did quality that it is difficult to tell
in what we excel but today l am sure
that / know. | have just come up
from Granger. The Sunday schools of
that section of the valley are having a
picnic and Independence day cele bra
ton there and the children are gath
cred in from a large country. Beyond
question they are our finest crop.
They were certainly having a splen-
did time and if | could have remained
behind to watch them | would have
had a mighty good time myself. | don't
know of anything better than seeing
young people enjoy themselves. We
have a beautiful natural park at
Granger and the children furnished
the enthusiasm while their parents
furnished the fireworks and noise, or
at least the noise makers. 1t certainly
was fine and anyone who saw the
gathering must have felt pride in the
young folks of Yakima"

views in North Yakima Saturday by
George P. Eaton, who was on his way

MORE VICTIMS
OF LOAN CO,
White PEOPLE IN IT ALSO
Many Poor People AlIurcd BY Prom
Using Scheme and are Still Waiting
Their Turn to Realize.

1t develops that the Standard Real
Estate Loan company of Dallas, Tex,
which was represented in this city I'M
til recently by one William Curran,
has many hundreds of stockholders in
this section, the plan having been
worked here for fully six months ac-
cording to reports. 1t appears further
that the efforts of the statesmen were
not confined to the colored population
but that many white people of a class
more intelligent than that to which
such schemes usually appeal have
been led to invest their rd-earned
dollars in this proposition.
Scheme Was AIluring.
Many people have sought advice
from their bankers and attorneys re-
garding the proposition because it was
so alluring in it's phases. Investors
We're guaranteed So and per cent
on their money, which is higher than
any legitimate loan company offers.
Not only that but the representatives
of the company offered to loan money
to investors to not only improve prop
erty but to purchase lot upon which
to build. All other loan companies
require that the person asking for
money own the real estate before a
loan can be negotiated. The very
liberal policy of the company was an
allurement to many people who did
not stop to consider or investigate
and now they are wondering why they
were so gullible.
Poor People Victimized.
The smooth talking representative
of the company appears to have taken
advantage of every weakness in hu-
man nature and to have confined his
activities to poor people who could
scarce afford to spend their savings
in this scheme but fell easy victims to
the promising story, "A small deposit
and a few dollars a month will en-
able you to purchase a lot and build
home by simply getting in line and
waiting your turn Those who got
in line are still waiting.
