Immense Growth of Banks Of
North Yakima Shows Every
Increasing Prosperity of the
People.

Deposits of S4,451,547 were report
ed in the five banks of North Yakima
on Jan. 1, 1910, according to a COM
pilation made by one of the leading
bankers Of the city, showing the great
est amount Of money ever on deposit
in the city. Since Jan. 1, 1907 there
has been a phenomenal increase in
the deposits for over 100000 mora
is now in the banks than on that day.
Figures of the banks show the fol-
lowing situation OH Jan. l of each
year: 1907, $2,3s7,056; 1908. $2,951,-
427; 1909. $3,3O5,412; 1910, $4,451.-
SAT.
That there will be a great increase
in the deposits during the present
year is certain, for the opening up of
the Tieton project, the great building
operations and the harvesting of a
big crop will all tend in that direc-
ton.
Postal receipts show the CORES
ponding growth for the city. with the
following receipts for the past three
years: 1907, $32,446; 1908, $39,S3s;
1909, $47,1o4.
While the population of North
Yakima and vicinity has largely in
creased during the past three years,
bankers say that it is also noticeable
that the individual deposits have also
increased. The facts show that those
people living in this vicinity are maxi.
ing money and depositing money, but
can only serve as a basis for comput-
ing the actual profits made, for much
IL reinvested in lands, city property,
and in development work.

IMPORT SONG BIRDS
TO EAT THE WORMS
Ranchers Appoint Committee to
Seek Importation and Propo-
CATION of Songsters.

Song birds that have a special lik-
Ing for bugs and worms as a diet are
wanted by the fruit growers of North
Yakima who passed resolutions at the
meeting held Wednesday afternoon
favoring the importation of such
birds and appointing a committee to
see what could be done to secure
them.
Edward Remy brought up the
question with q suggestion that in
Europe there were thousands of birds,
beautiful songsters, that protected
orchards and that were a great at
traction in addition. From the BUSH
ness viewpoint, the rancher thought
that birds would be good thing for
the Yakima valley.
A. L. Thomson, who has had some
experience with pathological sub
jects, was asked as to benefits and
damages by birds, and said that he
believed that some birds would be a
valuable addition to the life of the
section. He suggested especially the
importation Of thrushes, linnets and
fii.ches as being good orchard pro-
lection.
y committee was appointed COM
posed oe Messrs. Remy, Thomson and
Henry Of the Selah valley, to confer
with the game warden, game associa
ton and the county commissioners
as to The feasibility and advisability
of importing and propagating birds.
The ranchers have no fear of great
damage to fruit, believing that .he
birds win easily earn their board even
IL they do eat cherries and nibble
at the peaches, pears. apples and
other larger fruit.

Business Men and Fruit Growers
Plan for Payment of State
Officials.
VALUABLE WORK WILL
NOT BE NEGLECTED
Meeting Held Monday Afternoon
at Yakima Commercial Club
Rooms to Arrange Financial
Basis.

Fruit tree and fruit inspection in
North Yakima and the remainder OF
the Yakima county will be carried
through this year. despite the fact
that the state inspectors cannot get
their salaries from either the staff
or the county, because of certain in
terpretations of the state horticultu-
al laws by officials.
Arrangements were made Monday
afternoon at a meeting held at the
Yakima Commercial club by which
finances will be secured to pay the in
spectors who are working for the
benefit Of practically every interest in
Yakima county, but particularly for
the interest Of the fruit growers. AT
the meeting Monday afternoon lead
ing business men and the most prom
inent fruit growers Of the vicinity of
North Yakima discussed the question
in its various phases.
The final conclusion was to borrow
money from one Of the banks to pay
the inspectors, at least two Of whom
will be engaged for the work and
possibly three. The notes will be
signed by the fruit growers and BUSH

so that a request can be made of the
state legislature at its next session to
repay those who have advanced the
money. 1t is almost certain that a
relief measure will secure approval
in the legislature, as the only reason
the state IS not paying the salaries
is a technicality In .he law. Yakima
county has sent enough money to the
state treasurer to pay the inspectors
but there is no way of getting the
i..oney back.
An agreement has been made by
the county commissioners to back up
t. e Yakima men in their request that
the money be refunded and the state
legislators approached on the subject
have shown favorable feeling.
The fruit inspection in the Yakima
valley is one of the vital problems for
the community, and the fruit grow
ers and shippers feel that 1t cannot
and must not be neglected or stopped
in any way. The inspectors, while un-
de- pay of outside parties, are clothed
with full authority of the state and
are state officers.

COURSE
is SADLY NEEDED
Kansas Professor Thinks Such
Should Be Introduced in the
Public Schools.

Prof. w. A. McKeever, Of the Kan
sas Agricultural College, believes 90
per cent of the bad boys and girls
are the result of incompatibility in
the parents and the lack of honest,
careful home training. To remedy
this he would provide in the public
schools of Kansas a course IN mat
rimony.
In a bulletin on "a Better Crop of
Boys and Girls" issued by the agri-
cultural college, Prof. Mckeever says:
1--WE have scientifically worked out
cards for the scoring of cows, pigs
and chickens, but how about scoring
didates for marriage instead OF prizes
as perfect specimen of a breed. What
are the correct standards of form and
symmetry of the body. Of physical
health, and of knowledge as to the
care and instruction Of infants?
What are the marks whereby a young
woman whose hand is sought in mar
riage may know a good man when
she sees him and those whereby a
young man may know a good wo-
man?
Too Much Left to Chance.
"All these important matters are
left to chance and seldom because we
have been laboring under the foolish
belief that love is blind. Young men
fall in love with Superficial things as
a big basket shaped hat or mincing
gait, and a young woman with flashy
neckties and glistening rings, partly
because they do not know from intel
ligent instruction what to look for as
evidence of real worth in the oppo-
site sex.
1--WE provide advanced courses of
instruction for those who would do

horses, cattle, hogs and sheep, but
we do nothing for a course in train
ing or any standard of requirement
for those who are 20 engage in the
complex and difficult task of raising

Many Smudgc Pots.
Many orchards in the Yakima val

California, Oregon and Colorado
With this protection, orchardists in
the frost belt" as well as on the
hills can be given ample protection
and full crops of fruit are assured.
Following the address by Prof.
Huntley, w. M. Nelson was asked to
report to the fruit growers regarding
his visit to the apple show at Denver,
where he met other fruit growers to
confer with the Western Jobbers' as
ISOLATION. This association represents
all the leading fruit Jobbers west of
the Mississippi.
The report presented by the fruit
grower showed that the jobbess de-
sired to have the La Fean bill passed
and that they were working against
the interests of the northwestern
fruit growers. 1t was because of this
situation. that the fruit men of North
Yakima decided to make an emphatic
protest ry organization of an associa-
ton of all growers so that mutual
business interests can be protected.
Chairman Richards suggested that
an organization of this kind should
be formed and asked President Irish
of the horticultural union as to
some correspondence that had indi-
Gated such a feeling on the part CT
other unions. With information from
Mcssrs. Irish and Nelson that there
could be a general Joining Of forces
on important questions of a business
nature, a motion was made ami unan-
isnously carried making It the sense
of the meeting that such a union
should be formed and that the fruit
men of four states should be asked
to Join In the movement. This plan
viii be Immediately taken up.
Stop Useless Rivalry.
According to Chairman Richards,
II 10 time that rivalry between the
northwestern fruit growing sections
be obliterated and all work gether
for the common advancement. This
opinion II the same as express I'd by

CITY WARRANTS
NEARING LIMIT
With $4,000 Current Expense
Debt, Taxes for 1910 VIII
Not Suffice.

A cursory glance at the financial
situation which obtains in the city
exchequer leads to the impression
that North Yakima. the municipality.
has been the victim of "frenzied"
finance. In fact the situation which
confronts the city at the beginning Of
this new year is one that might strike
terror into the heart of even a John
D. Rockefeller or a j. Pierpont Nor
gan. So if there are statesmen and
financiers of the Wall street type in
this community the city may have
need of obtaining their services very
shortly.
Limit of Warrant Debt.
To begin with the city has a war
rant Indebtedness of about $4,000
This means that the city has run be.
hind on current expenses in this
amount. Warrants have been issued
salaries over and above what was COL
lected in taxes and these warrants are
now unpaid and outstanding. This
$4,000 debt is not the arrearage of
one year but of several, for the books
of City Clerk BROKER show that $46.-
600 of warrant indebtedness was car
ried over from 1908. The city ran in
debt $4,000 further in 1909.
The law allows a city of the third
class a warrant indebtedness amount
ing to one and one-half per cent of
the property valuation. The property
valuation being $6,256,000, North
Yakima would be entitled to war;
rant Indebtedness of $93,S40. But the
previous administrations have already
taken advantage of this to the extent
of $4,000 and there are still two
months to go before the new taxes
are available. With current bills
averaging $4,000 per month, as was
the case in 1909, the limit of warrant
indebtedness will be reached in two
months.
Bond Issue for Drain?
In view of this situation, distressing
in every aspect, the question then
presents itself, How is the city to is
sue an additional $4,000 of current
expense warrants for the construction
of the new west side drain, as decided
by the judiciary committee of the
council Tuesday,"
The 1910 budget and tax levy for
the coming year show that city taxes
will amount to about II mills. This
will yield the city about $4,000. Sa-
loon licenses and fines may bring the
total up to possible $4,000. If It
continues to cost the city an average
of $4,000 each month as 1t did last
year, the close of 1910 will see the
city carrying an additional warrant
Indebtedness of $4,000 over and
above the present $4,000, so the new
tax levy seems to offer no solution.
Unless the law affords some means
of circumvention, according to City
Attorney Frank J. Allen, a bond issue
o construct the west side drain will
be imperative, but even this does not
point way out of debt, it simply pro-
vides method by which the city NAV
get still deeper into debt.
