ANNEXED SECTIONS
ADDED TO CITY WARDS
Voters Who Thought Themselves
Disfranchised by Reason of the
Change Were Mistaken.

Some residents of the territory re-
Gently annexed to the city of North
Yakima appear to have been laboring
under misrepresentation. They
thought that as far as the party con-
ventiOns are concerned they had been
disfranchised as they contended that
there was no provision made under
which they voted in city wards and
that they did not come in under the
county precincts. In this they were
mistaken. All the territory recently
annexed to the city has been included
in one or other wards of the city
all the wards, except the second pro-
curing additional territory and popu-
lation. City Attorney Allen has
plat of the redistricting at his office
which he will be glad to show to any
voter and those who are in doubts
as to what ward they are included in
should at once set those doubts at
rest. One or two men who claim an
interest in politics complained Sat-
urday that they We're shut out from
party participation but as some of the
delegates to the republican county
convention Saturday were from the
recently annexed territory, it is evil
dent that the mistake was not gen.

IMMENSE TONNAGE
FROM THE COLUMBIA
This Year to be a Test One for
Growers IN Points of Harvesting.
Labor and Transportation.

What record this great valley of the
Columbia is destined to make as a
shipper of fruit is matter which al
ready commands the interest of rail
and river transportation companies
who are perfectly informed about de-
velopment possibilities here.
The Columbia river valley will
ship an immense tonnage; | would es-
innate it at at least five times the
volume the Yakima valley sends out, f"
said well known North Yakima
commission man to the Spokesman.
This estimate is the lowest ever
made to this paper, and the Spokes-
man uses it as a basis that those inter-
ested may secure an ultra Conserva-
tive estimate of what the future has
in store for this marvellous section of
the west.
This year the Yakima valley figures
on shipping 100000 boxes of fruit
1000 carloads. OF this bulk of sweet
ness, peaches are credited with 1.200.-
600 boxes; pears, 10000; prune.s and
plums, $4,000 crates; apples, 1,515-
geo boxes.
Fred Thompson Of the Thompson
Fruit company of North Yakima dis
tributes the fruit loads of the 1000
ears by allowing 1900 cars for
peaches, l35 cars for pears, 1875 cars
for p"unes and plums, 2525 cars TO-
apples.

SEATTIE.-The finding of the
badly burned body of Mrs. Hannah
Reynolds in the midst Of the smould-
ering embers of n funeral prye this
morning revealed one of the most
horrible cases of suicide, or possibly
murder that has been brought to the
attention of the King country author
tiles. The body of Mrs. Reynolds, who
lived, with her two sons, at 1851 10th
avenue, was found in the woods near
Ravenna park by a searching party
that had been out all night. The body
was found lying face down in the
middle of the smoking remnants of
what had been a huge bonfire. All the
clothing had been consumed and the
body was charred almost beyond rec
ogniation.

INTERESTING STATISTICS
OF CIVIL WAR VETERANS.
War Office is Compiled Figures
Relative to Bloody Wa.

WASHINGTON, u. c.. July 81
About 80 names day are dropped
from the pension rolls. This average
is equivalent to about $500 deaths a
month, or about $4,000 annually,
among federal survivors of the civil
war carried on the pension lists.
How many survive who are not on
the pension roll is not recorded in the
pension Office or the adjutant gen.
erals office of the war department.
The officials refer to these unrecorded
soldiers as the unknown army"
The old soldiers of both armies are
vanishing rapidly. Just how many
survive Will not be Known until after
the completion of the 18th census and
can only be approximated now.
The law providing for the taking
of the census of 1910 stipulated that
there should be included a tabulation
Of the number of Union and Confed-
crate soldiers and sailors living. The
census of 1900 contained no such
tabulation.

The most generally accepted estim-
ate of the total number of "fndivid-
uals" serving in the Union army and
navy during the civil war is 2,213,-

Major General AinswcA'th, adjutant
general of the army IA years ago, and

and others turn for data relative TO

leaves the estimate Of individual VOL
unteer soldiers IN the war 2,1ZS, 94S.
There were enough re-enliStmentS in
the navy to bring the actual number
of individuals in the navy down to
S4.411, making the number serving in

This is the only official estimate ever
made and how far it varies from the
actual number can never be deter

SOUTH AMERICAN TRAVEL.
Great Change Made by the Tunnel
Through the Andes.

With the piercing of the Andes and the
linking of Buenos Ayres with Valparai-
SO by railroad the whole course of South
American travel from Europe will now
be largely changed. Steamship commu-
nication with the west coast via the
Strait of Magellan will be still main
tanned, but as passengers can get across
the continent in about thirty hours they
are certain 10 make use of this short
cut, more especially as the sea passage
through the strait is not the most enjoy
able of voyages at any time.
The Pacific Steam Navigation COM
pany of Liverpool is building new and
fast liners TO run between Liverpool and
Buenos Ayres for the purpose of cult
waiting this traffic. They will be the
largest the River Plate can accommodate.
Other companies are also preparing for
extensions in this direction, notably the
Hamburg line, which is at
present in negotiation with the Argen-
tine government for the establishment of
a service of fast first class steamers be-
tween Europe and Buenos Ayres. Should
an agreement be arrived at six vessels
of this class will be built.

Fish as Food for Londoners.

The port of London's proposed duty on
fish and fruit reminds us that fish at
least has always been an important con-
stituent of the food supply of the me-
tropolis, and in early times the Thames
itself yielded an enormous supply.
Westminster Abbey formerly claimed a
1.-THE of the Thames fisheries from
Gravesend to Staines, and lawsuit was
successfully maintained against the rec
tor of Rotherhithe in 1882 on the ground
that st. Peter had in a vision granted
the first haul of salmon in the Thames
to Edric the Saxon on condition that a
1.-THE of fish was annually paid to the
Abbey. And once year for centuries
one of the fishermen as representative
of Edric took his place beside the Prior,
and brought in salmon for st. Peter,
which was carried III state through the
refectory.-London Chronicle.

points year to help keep the trains
running on the Northern Pacific and

rate of sixty-six for every mile of the
two roads. These pens are of a variety
of styles, although the tiner-pointed va
rieties find greater favor than do the
stub pens. The employees of the two

means that for each mile of track thirty
pencils are needed in a twelvemonth.
These supplies are ordered through the
general offices in St. Paul and are dis
tributed over the system. If the roads
had to pay for their supplies at ordinary
would cost $4,000 a year, and pencils at
a nickel each would swell the expense

Thaw declined to consider anything but
going abroad to study sculpture. but her

Laurel Leaf Embroideries.

Every season the Paris embroiderers
adopt one particular leaf for their de-
signs, and according to the way the TO
liage is reproduced the leaf is enlarged
or reduced far beyond its natural dimen-
Slons. There was once vogue for poppy
foliage and flowers, followed later on by
another for tulips. The art nouveau
craze brought irises and orchids into fash
ion. There was a period also when ivy
and woodbine were mixed. This year,
when so many of the gowns are First
Empire, our artists have drawn chiefly
laurel leaves intermingled at times with
various Greek designs and the traditional
key pattern. A lovely scarf, specially
made for an American blond, was in pale
green net incrusted with long satin laur-
