Poultry breeding and egg produc-

bred in the purple and whose ancen-
tors have wor blue ribbons at Madi-
son Square garden, which have come
here this spring to make their home
and to render the Yakima valley elo-
quent with their song. Wives of prom

breeds and laymen are making the

same authority under whose charge
that enterprise is to go forward"
The secretary agreed that confu-
sion no doubt would result in the
states with the adoption of a federal
corporation law and that serious uues-
ton would arise with respect to the
subject of taxation, but he urged that
it should at all times be remembered
that the creation of a federal corpor-
alton was within the control of the
people of the United States. No hard
and fast rule he said existed as to
the manner in which taxes to be paid
by such an organization shall be an
portioned but he anticipated no in
su-mountable difficulty to be pi esent-
ed in this matter with respect to the
individual corporation and he saw
no reason why the federal corpora
ton law should not provide for tho
assessment of tangible property, and
for the taxation of shares in such
manner: that exact justice and p,o-
lection will be afforded individual
states and localities"
AS to apprehension that federal

POLITICAL POT SIMMERINC.
Lower Valley Editor Tells Of
Rumors in Regard to Coming
State Senatorial Fight.

For some time past politicians of
Yakima county have been discussing
valuable candidates to succeed Sena-
tor Sam Cameron, deceased. For a
few weeks it appeared that Rep"e-
sentative Meigs would be in the con-
test; then the name of M yor Arm
bruster was brought out. Meigs, 1t is
understood, will have none of it, as he
anticipates something better and
Armbruster has been most effectually
put out of the running by recent de-
velopments in municipal affairs OF
Norh Yakima.
So Yakima politicians-always on
the job-have been casting about for
new material and visitor in the val
ley metropolis last week, who had
more time than business, learned sew
rral things of political nature.
Next in line comes the state senator,
and for that place they are not just

In North Yakima Is Miss Carrie
Grosenbaugh, Who Came
Here Two Years Ago.

Progressive in all things, North
Yakima is up to date in having
woman lawyer. Miss Carrie Grosen-
baugh, for some tine connected with
a legal fl m of mere men," has de-
cided that there is an opening here
for a woman ION her own" as the
English say, and has opened up Of
fees in the Miller building. Before
coming west Miss Grosenbaugh was
practicing attorney in Des Moines,
where she divided legal honors with
two other women.
why did come west?' repeated
Miss Grosenbaugh. 81 suppose it
was the spirit of adventure which
brings most of us. 1 did not. how

North Yakima, but had planned on
some section in Idaho. But my ticket

felt the spell which is claimed for
Yakima. Any way, that was two
years ago and l am here YETI
When asked how she happened to
choose the law for her life work,
Miss Grosenbaugh didn't just know
What had been the determining fac
tor, but said that hers was a profess
sional family anyway. A brother is

man is a liar because he is a liar "
Miss Grosenbaugh is a graduate of
the law department of the University
of Iowa. She also has a degree from
Highland Park college in Des Moines.
When she began to study, the state
required only a two yea course, but
before she had finished, the require
ments were raised to three years and
it was ecessary to have the extra
years st ly before she could be ad-
mItt' to the bar.
SO far as experience goes, she finds
the law an admi. able profession for
women. She says that she has al
ways met with kindness and cour-
tesy from fellow lawyers and court
officials. While she has no special
liking for criminal cases. she takes
them when they come, though as she
explains, 1t Is the SOFT of work which
naturally doesn't come to the office
OF a woman lawyer. Her work Is the
widely varied sort which comes with
general practice.
Miss G: osenbaugh says that there
are a number of women lawyers In
the state, three or four in Seattle
zee in Spokane, one in Tacoma and
one in Bellingham, she understands
though she has not met any of them
personally.
