EAST CUTTING OUT
FRUIT TREES
YAKIMA MAN SAYS ORCHARDS
ARE DESTROYED FASTER THAN
THEY ARE PLANTED HERE -
GREAT INQUIRY ABOUT WEST.

DR.. Granville Lowther is back in
North Yakima from trip in the east
as far as New York and during which
he made extensive investigations in
Michigan, Illinois, Ohio, Kansas and
other states, says the Yakima Herald.
He finds money easy, considerable
transfers of Illinois corn and Kansas
wheat lands, some knowledge regard
ing the Yakima valley and interesting
conditions regarding the old eastern
fruit orchards. Fruit trees" says
DR.. Lowther, "are being taken out
more rapidly and extensively in the
east than they are being put In in
the west" This of course refers to
that section, or rather those sections,
not strictly fruit belts. "And in the
sections not strictly devoted to fruit
culture" said DR.. Lowther, II saw
during my trip but three orchards
which have been cared for" Speak
ing further on fruit DR.. Lowther said
he saw apples on sale at so cents per
peck which, in this state, would have
been condemned by the inspector the

Yakima country attracts those who
believe they can afford to come here.
Many, however, knowing nothing
about appreciation in values in this
section nor of the yield which may be
expected, find it difficult to under
stand the Yakima argument. There
are many others, such as renters, who
cannot get enough together to give
them a start in such country as
this. In one section of Kansas in
which lived man who had invested
in land at Palisades, Colorado. the
people were alert to such information
regarding Yakima as they could pro-
cure, their knowledge of the success
of their neighbor leading them to put
faith in what would otherwise have
appeared impossible.
"I. was asked always, might say, "
said DR.. Lowther, regarding the gen.
eral farming possibilities. The farm
ers want to know about that. Capt.
talists I found to be conservative.
They understand the eastern five per
cent proposition but beyond that they
hesitate and talk of appreciation in
values such as we have here, makes
them suspicious"

A BOOSTERS VIEW.
(Contributed)

1t is not given to every man to
occupy a conspicuous position in
either political or commercial life,
but it Is the heritage OF each to leave
the impression of his thought and
activity on them. The president of
the United States is the most con-
spicuous political figure of our coun-
try at the present moment, yet it is
not he who shall emblazon the pages
of history with present desire.
thought and hope of the country.
This will be done by the historian
when he records the combined
thought and desires of all the peo-
ple,-but he will be the instrument
Of expression, and not the express
sion itself. The president, and the
historian, by reason OF their respect
i've positions, will be conspicuous, but
neither is the controlling force. The
president occupies his exalted posi-
ton because a majority of the peo-
pie have so united; the historian will
write of the present through inclina-
ton, which may be induced by a
variety of motives. Thus both are
conspicuous, but there should be
neither president nor historian In
the absence of thought and action by
the people. In the very nature of
things some men must occupy posi-
lions Of prominence, but within them
selves they are nothing. Their promi-
nence, their force, their power, is
not within themselves, but in all the
people whom they represent or for
whom they write. They may pos

their positions and thus become sue.
cessful instruments in their spheres.
But they are only instruments, not
the vital spark, the force that moves.
This is in the people and every citi-
zen, either knowingly or unknow-
ingly is a factor. Whether for good
or bad depends upon himself. 1t is
so in commercial life. There could
be no captains of industry" if there
were not legions in the ranks.
The president of the commercial
club, and the active committees are
conspicuous by reason of their posi-
lions, but they are not the institution
itself, nor can their acts in connec-
ton Herewith be deemed wholly
their own, but rather must they be

WHY not JON

A we'll known rancher was asked
this week to join the commercial
club and refused, at first, on the
grounds that che would soon have
to help the w. C.. T. U. and Y. M.
G. A. and could not stand all three.
Why not? Is not the commercial
club as important in a way to the
welfare OF the city as the two reli-
gious organizations named? Is 1t
not fact that without the promi-
nence the commercial club has cre-I
ated and maintained so largely for
the city throughout not only the
state but he country a large, he w.
C. T. U. and Y. NJ c. A. would be
well nigh impossible? 1t is true that
few faithful women God bless
them) might struggle along in any
old place in their endeavors to help
the temperance cause, but the Y. N.
C. A. will not start in dead town. |
The commercial club is a LARGE
FACTOR (spelt in capital letters) in
advertising this section, thus inviting
new settlers, boosting our fruit, thus
creating new markets and unfolding
good prices for our crops, and giving
class and credit to our community, |
the latter a good magnet for capital.
Come with me to a business meet |
ing of the commercial club and you
will recognize in large majority OF
its officers and committeeman those !
who will stand pat for Y. M. c. A.
that will be as much of a credit to |
our city as are our commercial club
and high school buildings, and whose |
names even now stand we'll on the
subscription list for the new w. C. |
T. U. building.
So, brethren Of the Y. M. c. A. and |
others, let's help put the commercial
club on a firm financial footing, and |
when we turn to them for a helping
hand in a building and play ground
for our boys and young men we shall
not be disappointed.
In brief If not already a member !
of the club, join the Reds or Blues
by handing them your application
with $3.50 in cash. Why not?
