PEACHES NEED
TO BE Trimmed
ORCHARDS HAVE HEAVY YIELD
Trees in Columbia River Ranch and
in Two Tracts at Parker viii
Bear "a Heavy Crop.

Peaches will have to be Trimmed in
at least three orchards in the Yakima
and adjacent country this year, despite
the fact that the crop as "A whole has
suffered severely ana that some Of the
trees themselves sucCumDed to the
winter severity one of these orch
ards is the Knorr tract on the Column
bia river, eight miles below Priest
Rapids, and under the flanfOrd irri-
CATION system. The orchard is an old
one and has borne a large crop of
peaches each year for the past 10
years. This year the Weld is so heavy
that the trees cannot begin to mature
it. ana the necessity has arisen Of
getting in and thinning out the fruit.
This is a hard thing to do in season
when the likelihood is that every
peach viii be worth its weight in sill
yer. if not in gold. because of the
widespread devastation which covers
every district of the state and has be-
come 50 appa cnt that it no longer
pays to falsify the facts as some dis
tricts have done.
W. Z. Sawyer of Parker, who was in
North Yakima Tuesday, when told
about the Columbia river orchard said
he could readily believe it because he
knew personally Of at least two orch
ards in the Parker district in which
the yield of peaches viii be g~ater
than the trees can mature ana where
it will be necessary to thin. Mr.. Saw
yer said also that Parker has had one
or two fine rain storms within the
past two or three days which had
done a great deal of genera good in
the district

He is a level-hcaded baby, likes the
trotting game and is developing so
fast that there is every assurance that
he will be in the money wining at the
races on the circuit this fall. Mr..
Sebastian believes that he will be able
to take out of North Yakima this fall
to the circuit races at least five ami
mails which will be in the money.
There are to be no races at home this
year.
Word has been received from Peas

there that the pacing mare, Cora, sold
for $4,000 by Mr.. Sebastian last fan
to a California horseman. has worked
out a fun mile on the track there In

RECORD HEAT
OF THE SEASON
IS RECORDED on TUESDAY
Official thermometers Show a Mark OF
% DcSrees-Elcctrical Storm,
With Light Rain Follows.

The temperature in North Yakima
Tuesday, about o'clock in the after
noon, was SO degrees. This tops the
figures for the season On few
other days this year the temperature
has been well up in the eighties. but
so far had failed to pass the 80 mark.
Shortly before 8 o'clock the govern
ment thermometer at the reclama-
ton service showed 80 and was still
rising No record was taken after
that hour, but the thermometer is a
self recorder and the figures will be
announced today. Official weathe. OBJ
server Albert Bender had a teElpe,a-
ture of SO degrees at his home.
Electric Storm and Rain.
Following the hot weather there
came up an EJECT: ical storm which
was apparently severe in some sections
but which just touched North Yakima
and vicinity. The lightning was fire.
quent and the thunder incessant at
times The rainfall however, was
light and consisted of two or three
showers with a spatter of hail at one
time. The expected wind failed to
materialiZe.
At Parker siding, just below Union
| Gap, there was a heavy wind and
some hail and the result was that the
old warehouse at that place was over
| turned. Telephone messages to vari-
Gus places last night failed to reveal
that any material damage had result
ed from the storm. on the other
hand the resulting good must be ex-
| tensive. Rain was badly needed in all
| sections not under the immediate in
huences of the irrigation bitches and
most of them got it either Monday or
| Tuesday.

A North Coast brancn line into the
engineers in the emp oy OF President
r. E. Strahorn of that road. Asked
last night where the line would end
Mr.. Strahorn said at has no end at
present. The surveyors are at work"
Discussing the project further, Mr..
Strahorn said:
I'VE now have the end Of the line
here in North Yakima in sight and
are sending engineers into the Artan-
UNI to survey line there In pursuance
to our policy of feeder line construc-
ton. l don't know whethe' that line
will be connected with ouc main line
at old town or here at North Yakima.
That remains for the report of the en-
gineers It may be that the Ahtanum
line will be run into the main line
somewhere between here AMI Oldtown.
AS I understand the contour Ct this
hill west of the city it runs towards
the Gap and we will have to swing m
around it. However, that l.; a matter
for the engineers. We VIII build into

Rumor of Line to Portland.
In this connection it may be said
that rumor is afoot thar arrange
ments have been made between the
Canadian 500 line and the Hartman
interests under which n line is to DE
constructed through the Yakima Val
lev and thence westward to Portland
over which the 500 trains are to have
running privileges. 1t is declared by
some Of those who are watching the
situation that this road west from the
main line through the Yakima Valley
will be by way of the Ahtanum.
Power Transmission Line.
1t was announced by Mr.. Strahorn
last night that the power TRANSMISSION
line which is now under construction
and which will carry the electr!cal
power developed at Naches City as f:i'
as Kennewick is to be carried along
the west side of the river and across
the reservation At one time there
was thought of switching the line over
to the east side of the river and down
through the Parker-Zillah country.
This was because of difficulties which
had arisen with regard to crossing the
reservation. These difficulties have
been removed and the line is now un-
der construction from both ends and
rapid progress is being made.

SAY N G|MN|S
RESISTED LAW
IN The CROSS ROADS RAID
Four Women and Watchman Arrest
ell in Raid BY Officers Lol>cr and
Mathis Tuesday Morning.

A. McGinnis, peace preserver at the
Gross Roads," an alleged immoral re-
sort which has figured more or less in
police raids since it's opening two
months ago, was arrested Tuesday
morning on the charge of resisting an
officer during the progress of raid on
the place which resulted in the arrest
of Reta Wickoll alleged operator of
the resort, and Georgia Miller May
Brown and Anna johnson, alleged in
mates of the place. All deposited $40
all and were released. A hearing
was called for o'clock Tuesday aft
ernoon but was postponed until Thurs
day afternoon upon motion of At
torney Snively in the police court.
Handcufrcd McGinnis.
According to the story of officer
Mathis and Loker, who raided the re-
sort upon instructions. McGinnis OBJ
jected to the efforts of the officers
while arresting the four women. 1t
is alleged that he stood in the door
and refused to allow the patromen to
enter. He was finally handcuffed and
led to the police station. McGinnis
was employed as Waterman at the re-
sort McGinnis told the officers that
they had no business there, as he wa;
an officer and able to take care of the
situation.
AlIcgc Serious Charge.
One of the women captured in the
raid alleges that she was entced to
the Gross Roads by the Wickoll
woman, who paid her fare from Den
yer, Colo, for the purpose of entering
an immoral house. The police say
that the Wickoll woman admitted to
them that she conducted an immoral
house, saying that it was her only
means of making a living. The police
are inclined to disbelieve the story of
the young lady, unless corroborative
evidence is submitted.
