SHER|FF'S HARD RIDE
REEVES old INJURY
Following Jolting of Hard Trip to
White Bluffs, Lancaster Again
In Bed.

AS a result of his recent automo-
bile trip to White Bluffs in an at
tempt to retake Tony Cato. the es-
capped county prisoner, Sheriff Joe
Lancaster is once more confined to
his bed over his recent injuries re-
ceived during the auto races last
month, Doctor Carver having found it
necessary to place his right leg in a
cast. That the sheriff may have SER
ious trouble with his leg is the doc
tors announcement who gave as his
opinion that the old break which the
sheriff sustained several years ago, is
the seat Of the trouble.
Sheriff Lancaster who was run over
by an Overland car during the races
at the state fair ground, had suffice
iently recobered that he was able to
move about town without difficulty
when he found it necessary to make a
hard trip to the Columbia river Sat-
urday last. The severe jolting of the
ride, the doctor says, caused compli-
cations which made it necessary for
the sheriff to again take to his bed
as we'll as for the cast to be used.
Sheriff Lancaster may be confined
to his bed for several weeks, it being
impossible to at this time offer re-
liable forecast of his condition.

''Vitt is playing a marvellous field

Witt is as clean and speedy fielder
as ever appeared here. No matter
how fast or slow the balls come to

fielder and his throws to first are ex-

but he may improve. He is meeting
the ball hard, but it is not going safe

little story. When Hunky was about

called Oscar off to one side and whis-

BRYAN At OUTS
WITH DAHLMAN
Peerless One Cuts Friend Of
Twenty Years In County
Unit Fight.
DAHLMAN DECLARES HE
IS NOTHING BUT TRAITOR
And Backs Up His Assertion With
His Own Record of Fidelity
Predicts That ''Drys" Will Get
Big Trimming.

LINCOLN, Neb., Sept, 20.-In a
statement in which he declares the
crusade he feels impelled to wage
against the liquor interests of the
state and nation overshadows per-
soual and political friendships of 20
years w. ]. Bryan announced tonight
he would not support James c. Dahl
man for governor. The statement,
which in way is apologize in tone,
does not indicate that Bryan vii,
support the candidate of any other
party, but announces he is pro-
advocate of county option and the
early saloon closing law, both of
which he insists are menaced by
Dahlman's candidacy. Bryan says he
intends to speak in behalf of Hitch
cock, the Democratic candidate for
congress, and intimates he will sup
port the rest of the state ticket other
than Dahlman.
Dahlman Not Afraid.
KANSAS CITY, Sept. 20.-James
c. Dahlman tonight deded William
J. Bryan, who today gave out state
ment that he would not support the
mayor in his gubernatorial race.
Dahlnlan calls attention to the fact
that for twenty years they have been
co-workers, during which time, Dahl
man says, he never wavered at any
point when Bryan's enemies assaiied
slim. He says the position he takes
on the liquor question is purely DEM
ocratic and follws the spirit of Demo-
cratic principles which stand at all
times for personal liberty and self
government. Dahlman says county
option, which Bryan is advocating.
takes from the people the right of
local self government. Dahlman
charges Bryan with trying to make II
appear that this is a brewery fight
while in fact it is that the people
rallied to Dahlman sim ply because
they are opposed to sumptuary laws,
In conclusion Dahlman says that the
people who are trying to force sump-
tuary laws on the people of Nebraska
are at the red-hot end of the poker
and will get the biggest trimming
which has been given in this or any
other state in several decades"

COONS AND COYOTES
GO AFTER PEACHES
Columbia River Homesteader Re-
ports That These Animals
Robbed His Trees.

Eastern people who fail to appre-
ciate the Washington peaches are
not in it with the coons and coyotes
of Grant county, just across the CO.
lumbia river from Yakima county.
At least this is the report brought TO
this city by H. H. Haven, formerly
of the Cowiche and now a homestead
er at Haven. He came to North
Yakima Monday to study fruit, to re-
main here during the fair and as he
said. ito learn something"
my work so far" said Mr.. Haven,
"has been experimental. My trees
are four years old and I have been
trying to demonstrate whether we
can grow fruit equal to that you
produce here. My success this sea-
son proves that we can and that we
are two weeks ahead of you.
Coons and Coyotes.
INV early Crawfords and the first
half of my alberta crop were all right
but the coons and coyotes got the
last half of the Elbertas and all the
late era WORDS. 1t seems that it took
them half the season to get on 10 the
fact that fruit is a good thing. The
coyotes took everything as high as
they could jump, and I want to tell
you that a coyote is some good on
the leap. What they couldn't reach
the coons could climb for and they
stripped my trees. l have about $50
trees in all and they got a good deal
Of fruit. Next year the trees will be
bigger and there will be more fruit,
so that 1 figure my proportion will be
larger. In time, when the whole
country is in orchard, the coons and
the coyotes and the birds. too. which
were bad at Wahluke this year, will
not be such an influence. l think

TWO LITTLE BOOSTS
FOR YAKIMA VALLEY
Van Vliet Turkeys and White Bees
Are Keeping Pace With the
Potato and Apple Crops.

Here are two Yakima stories that
are the real thing. No rights are
reserved and the Commercial club.
any real estate Office or any other
booster engaged in getting printed
matter Is entitled to use the matter
set forth with his own or any other
setting.
The first relates to the success or
Seaman Van Vliet educatop. as a
bird fanCier. Mr.. Van Vlet had a
trio OF turkeys a tom and two Tom
esses. They grazed on Tafts lawn
and various other places for long
time and once in a while visited the
library precincts. Then Mr.. Van
Vliet induced a friend who has
ranch to take them over for half the
increase. This was in the spring. The
Van Vliet turkeys have come home
to roost, for a COuplt of days ago
the person to whom they had been
entrusted, for half the increase, re-
turned the original trio and "a proofs
Of the wonderfulness Of Yakima. She
retained "a other such proofs as her
own for her share Of the deal Mr..
Van Vliet. it IS understood, is to pre-
sent all the Mystic shriners with a
wishbOne.
The second story relates to the
humble and busy bee There Is a
whole lot about the bee that is non
sense notably his habit, or her habit,
Of maintaining a myriad Of lazy gen.
tlemen to parade in front Of the hive,
but at that she tends to her house
keeping. Arson S. White Of the Cow
iche has habit Of putting bee hives
on the scales just to learn how much
a colony can carry in one day and
all that sort of thing. This was a
short honey season but at that one
colony Of bees owned by Mr.. White
harvested over 200 pounds this sum
mer. That beats the meter system.

ELECTIONS TO
Be NUMEROUS
Three Are to Be Held In This City
On One Day If Present
Plains Prevail.
PROPOSITION Is A HEAVY
ONE FOR THE OFFICIALS
Aany Complications Can Easily Be
Imagined as a Result of the
November Appeals to the
People.

Elections are as thick In Yakima as
leaves in Vallambrosa. Voters in this
town get more for their registration
than they do anywhere else in the
state and it is no wonder that the
women are wanting the privilege Of
enjoying some of the fun. Its cold
month when North Yakima cannot
have an election to vote on water
bonds, or cold water or schools or city
or state officials or some other thing.
But the worst is yet to come. Three
elections in one day is the mark the
city is aiming at and seems to be in
fair way to obtain. Tuesday, Nov.
s, according to the present schedule,
there will be held here the general
election, the local option election and
the city primary election.
Good for Saloon Men.
There Is one feature about this
plan which shows the good nature OF
the prohibition folk: it saves a couple
Of business days for the saloon men.
Under the law the saloons are sup
posed to close during an election, but
by holding the three elections on one
day the saloon men will need to close
on that day only, whereas by any
other arrangement and strict inter-
probation of the law they would have
to close on three days, provided there
were three election days.
The plan will be a good thing. too,
for the hardware men, as a number
of additional garbage cans will need
to be fixed up to do duty as ballot
boxes. There is not a sufficiency of
furniture of that kind on hand now
to do duty at three elections on the
anne day and new paraphernalia will
be needed.
Many Other Phases.
There are many other phases to the
situation. There is the question of
polling booths and the more serious
question of introducing recruits to
the noble army of tim tried officials
whose faces are so familiar and whose
acquaintance is so extensive with the
election law that he who questions
merely proves himself to be novice.
Come up also the question of hacks
and automobiles and the ability OF
the sign painters to get out a suffi-
cheney of banners in time and the
capacity of the streets for furnishing
display room. There is also the
question Of a -sufficiency of registra-
ton books for all the needs Of the
various booths.
When one begins to go into the
subject he begins to realize that those
old fellows of other days who set
couple Of champions out in front OF
the bleachers to carve each other with
razors until one was carved down to
defeat in settlement OF a matter OF
conquest or theft, had a wisdom OF
their own
