FEVER CASE
STARTS RIOT
South Fourth Street Residents
Incensed Over Possible Scarlet
Fever Epidemic.
WOULD NOT STAND FOR
ANOTHER CASE IN VICINITY
Indignation Meeting Results IN
Removal of Young Butt to
County Hospital-Victim Was
Recent Arrival Here.

Residents of South Fourth street,
N the vicinity of the stephenson
home, were exercised almost to ths
point Of riot Monday morning oven
another case of scarlet fever which
was about to be moved into the tent
recently occupied by the sick MEM
bers of that Inflated family before
their removal to the county isolation
hospital. "A young man by the name
of Butt, who came to North Yakima
from the east four or five days ago
to make his home with his parents,
was stricken with scarlet fever Sun
day and permission was asked of DR..
Nyw ening to have the case removed
to the tent on South Fourth street
which the Salvation Army caused to
be erected for the use of the Stephen
son family several weeks ago.
III. Nywening says that he gave
tacit permission and preparations
we're made to have the sick boy trans
ferred there from the New York
lodging house, immediate action being
urgent because of the necessity of
4uarantining the lodging house If the
contagious patient remained there.
Residents up in Arms.
But the residents Of the Sixth ward
have very pronounced ideas and the
word that another contagious case
was to be brought into their midst
spread like wildfire Monday morning.
In groups of two and three and
crowds Of dozen or more they held
councils of war and then waited on
the health officer. Wishing to allay
their fears, DR.. Nywening ordered the
case taken to the county isolation
hospital south Of the city. where both
wards are now occupied by scarlet
fever cases.
If.remarks of the conflicting parties
are any indication, the indignation Of
some of the Stephenson neighbors
knew no bounds until the affair was
settled. Said one Of them, "Why,
there are 80 or 40 children in this
immediate vicinity who play within
short distance Of the Stephenson
home. We have just succeeded ir
getting through this siege and now IL
10 proposed to infiict another upon us
We won't stand for It,"
The father Of the Butt boy sp-
peared on the scene late in the after
noon and made things interesting by
stating, 30 1t is said, THAT II he had
a shotgun he would shoot everyone
N that neighborhood."

WHOLESALE BUSINESS
IS RAPIDLY GROWING
Irrigated Trees Are Now Greatly
in Demand and North Yakima
Becomes Center of the Great
Industry.

Expansion of the nursery business
h the Yakima valley, during the past
year, with hundreds of orders for
stock coming from all parts of the
west. Is taken by North aYkima nur-
serymen to indicate that in the near
future this city will be the center of
an Immense nursery industry, sup
plying the orchardists of practically
every state west of the Mississippi
river
John H. Roger. president of the
Northwest Nursery Co., said on Sat
urday evening that he believed that
in the very near future such a con-
dition would prevail, and that while
the "farthest east point in 1909 or
ders was Canyon City, Colo, the
trade has extended further for 1910.
Inquiries are being received by
nurserymen from as far south as New
Mexico and as far southeast as Ala
bama, while Washington, Oregon,
California, Idaho, Utah, Montana and
Colorado are already using Yakima
valley trees.
More attention is being given to
the wholesale business than ever be-
fore. and the nursery companies are
advertising considerably in eastern
and middle western fruit papers.
Reasons for the demand for Yak
ina trees include the fact that one
year gratis can be successfully grown
to large caliper here, that the irrigat
ed trees are of uniform size and quail :
ity, that the orchard stock is free
from pests and that the trees have
good roots, being grown by practical
nurserymen. Several prominent east
ern nurserymen have advised the To-
cal nurserymen to prepare to handle
wholesale trade, and acting on this
advice nearly every nursery in the
valley is arranging to plan an increas-

DAVIS HERD AT GRANGER.
Experience of Breeder Since His
Arrival In Yakima Rivals Best
Tales of Successes of Fruit
Growers.

H. c. Davis, of Granger, formerly
of the Mckee, was a North Yakima
visitor Friday and says he is doing
business as breeder Of pure bred
Holstein cattle at his new stand
though hardly properly settled as yet.
Mr.. Davis moved his cattle from the
Mckee Tuesday and his herd of 40
head of pure registered Holsteins is
now located on his new ranch and
housed in the finest dairy barn, in all
probability, to be found in Washing.

LINES suggested by federal govern
ment experts in the animal industry
department, with notifications sug-
gested by Mr.. Davis himself and bas-
ed on his experience as a cattle
breeder and dairyman.
What Good Man May Do.
The success Of MIR. Davis is an
other illustration Of what an alert
and persistent man may accomplish
in the Yakima valley. Instead OF
turning his attention to fruit as did
many others he has confined himself
to dairy cattle. He came here some
eight years ago, without a cent and
in debt and for two years worked
on wages at the Marks ranch in the
Ahtanum. There he found an envir-
onment filled with interest in pure
bred cattle and a home at which was
procured the latest and best in the
literature Of the cattle breeding and
developing business. He took an in
terest in 1t all, became assured that
there is no future for the adherent
Of scrub cattle and endeavored to
post himself on the latest and best
m ethods.
Buys a Better Property.
He was able to start in a small way
for himself in the Mckee, gradually
increased his holdings and recently
in the way of progress, sold his
Mckee property and procured a tract
Of 100 acres near Granger. He did
this because he became convinced
that it was easier to make the ideal
conditions he sought on a new prop
erty than to re-establish an old place.
He now owns his 100 acres, splendid
buildings and his 40 head of register
ed animals, as we'll as other stock.
From a number of animals pur-
chased in the east Mr.. Davis now has
Is fine heifers and a splendid herd

words he has plant which promises
for the future returns which few
other industries in this section will
be able to duplicate. The story of
Mr. Davis is one which will stand
the peer of any of the many tales
of success in this section which have
been made public within the past few
years. Reduced to dollars and cents
1t would be an impossi bility in a
similar line in any portion of the
east.
"And l want to say" said Mr.. Da-
Wis, when asked about his work, that
credit the greater part of what

SNYDER'S AUTO NOT
YET WELL TRAINED
Makes Unwarranted but Unsuc-
cessful Attack on the Railing
of the Selah Bridge.

Vestal Snyder was in error when
the thought he had his automobile
town and country BROKE" A few
days ago when the machine started
in to clear up the right of way of
the North Coast railroad Mr.. Sny-
der took it out back of the garage,
cross country for 1000 miles without
the thing even lifting its head. But
the ways of the aromatic benzine
buggies are peculiar. Friday Mr. Sny-
der had a lesson in this fact when
his 4chine undertook to butt the
railing off the Selah bridge. That was
just seven minutes and ID seconds
after 1t had undertaken to run over
an auto which was running at good
speed in front of it.
Two Mix-up One Day.
The first outbreak took place a
short distance on the country side of
the Selah bridge. The men III the
auto which was attacked refused to
smile over the affair until they found
out that Vestal refused to do any
thing but smile. and then they went
ahead merrily. On the bridge the
and he went over the center pYece,
passed the other machine and a horse
and team which were ahead of it and
back over the center piece to the
right side of the roadway. 1t was
then that he hit the railing. 1t look
ed for a moment as If Mrs. Snyder
would take header into the drink
but this did not eventuate and she
escaped injury. After a little effort
the machine was Strengthened away
and went merrily.
1.-The railing is still there, isn't 1T ?'
asked Mr.. Snyder when spoken to
about the incident, and when answer
ed in the Affirmative, declared that to
be proof that he had not hit it "for"
he said when 1 hit thing I move
it."

High Priced Package Goods.

Food in fancy packages, instead of
in bulk, is contributing factor in the
much discussed high cost of living
problem. Mr.. Palmer, the Massachu-
sets commissioner of weights and
measures, has been investigating the
question, and he finds. among other
things, that sliced bacon, for which
there is large sale in jars at sixty
cents pound, can be purchased in
bulk at twenty-five to thirty cents;
rolled oats in packages are seven and
half pound and in bulk three and
half cents; cornmeal in packages
five and half cents. in bulk two and
half cents. Mr.. Palmer found that
rice partly cooked and sold in pack
ages found plenty of buyers at thirty
one and half cents a pound, while
uncooked rice sold in bulk was OBJ
tainable at eight cents a pound. Pur-
veyors of these staples fully appre-
ciate the value of fancy packages, but
their use is undoubtedly costing the
consumers a great many millions,
which might be saved without caus-
ing any suffering or self-denial-

extravagant to the point of wasteful-
ness, and the fashion is running riot.
| Individual thrift is considered not
merely miserly boarding, but is
looked upon as a vice and thing to
be despised. 1t is said that this is
not day of small things, and that
wealth, as wealth goes now, may no
longer be accumulated by the
slow process of savings and econo-
mics. This may be true If we shall
measure wealth only by billions or
hundreds of millions, but, just as
surely as there ever existed virtue in
economy, of contentment and indie
pendence in frugality, they are there
to-day, and just as surely as individ-
ual and national extravaganza ever
led TO a day of reckoning they are
doing so to-day. Among nations, and
among individuals, permanent wealth
and material progress are the results,
not so much of rich natural reso urces
as they are the products of economy
and thrift; not alone economy in the
arts of production, but economy of
use.
The maintenance of the present
high level of prices is dependent upon
the sustained purchasing power of
the individual which in turn depends
very largely, if not wholly, upon the
expansion of credit. Herein lies one
of the chief elements of weakness and
danger in the situation
IF the banks may by increasing
loans create credits, which in turn
create purchasing power and sus-
tanned demand for high-priced goods,
thereby still further advancing prices
in the benefits of which all classes
share except those who possess fixed
incomes, it may be asked why this is
not good; why not continue to pro-
mote the general ability to spend,
why not continue giving to each in
dividual an amount of enjoyment,
luxury and pleasure unknown before,
particularly when all this may be ac-
complished by merely increasing
loans? The simple but comprehen-
sive and truthful answer is that it
cannot be done because in the long
run every act of wastefulness and
every item of extravaganza must be
paid for to the last farthing; every
item consumed must be earned"
Mr.. Talbert also discussed the dam
ger of the country losing its favorable
trade balance and of adding an ad-
verse trade balance to the other debit
items which run against this country
to the extent of hundreds of millions
of dollars year. Mr.. Talbert esti-
mated these items at total of $780,
100000, including 5000, 100000

COLEMAN SENT TO JAIL
Hard Labor Term Omitted For
Cambridge Bank Thief.
Horse Hopes to Prove That He Was
Sent Illegally to Prison and
Should Be Released.

Boston, Mass. Boston friends OF
Charles W. Morse, the former New
York banker and ice king, now serv-
ing sentence at Atlanta, profess to see
in the action of Judge Hale in the
Coleman case in the United States
Circuit Court hope for the release
of the banker on the plea that his
sentence was illegal. In moving for
sentence in the Coleman case District
Attorney French read chapter 5209
of the Federal Statutes and called
attention to the fact that it provides
for Imprisonment of not less than one
year and says nothing about hard
labor, while under the Federal act
establishing Federal penitentiaries it
is said that prisoner can only be
sent to Atlanta If his sentence calls
for year or more at hard labor. He
therefore asked for a sentence to
jail, and Judge Hale selected that at
Greenfield
Legal friends of Morse argued that,
as he was sent to Atlanta for VIOLA
ton of this same chapter 5000, he
may be held Illegally Providing the
term of court which sentenced him
shall have expired, it is said that he
cannot be resentenced, and his release
may be secured on writ of habeas
corpus.
Of the three men responsible for
the larceny of nearly half the assets
of the National City Bank of Cam
bridge, George W. Coleman, the thiev-
ing bookkeeper, confessed his guilt.
He will serve fifteen years in prison.
His accomplices, William J. Keliher
and Wilson w. Lockhart, demanded
trial -~------~----- 1>--.S...As.e-s--sfszEses<--
Keliher's trial on the charge Of
aiding and abetting Coleman in the
larceny of 5000, 900 began as soon as
Coleman had been sentenced in the
United States Circuit Court.
Coleman will spend probably ten
years in Greenfield, to which Jail he
was sentenced by Judge Hale. That
he was not sent to the Government
prison at Atlanta was due to District
Attorney French, who construed the
statutes for persons convicted of mis-
application Of bank funds as warrant
ing a term in prison without hard
labor.
The prison in Atlanta can be used
only for those sentenced to imprison-
ment with hard labor.
Before passing sentence Judge Hale
seized the opportunity of reading
young Coleman lesson in morals, in
which he pointed the necessity of pro-
tecting society by punishment which
should be adequate but not vindictive.
The young man wept when the clerk
read the decision, but composed him
self before he left the court for the
detention room, where his family and
his sweetheart, Miss Hightower, of
Kansas City, endeavored to cheer
him.

Joseph TaIbe Sounds Warning Against Reckless Expenditure
The Automobile Craze Case in Pointt is the Fashion
Now to Be Extravagant.

Ell Paso, Tex.-Extravaganc has
become not only national vice but
is in fact becoming national menace
in the opinion of Joseph T. Talbert,
vice-president of the National City
Bank, of New York. Mr.. Talbert,
who spoke before the Texas Bankers
Association, said that there does not
appear anywhere to exist in the con-
duct of national, municipal or indi-
vidual affairs, that appreciation of
the economical and prudent use of
resources and that adjustment of ex-
penditures to means and incomes
which always have been found neces-
sary to the support of prosperity and
to the maintenance of a condition of
solvency.
The speaker cited the automobile
craze as case in point. Eve are
squandering on pleasure vehicles an
nually sums of money running into
hundreds of millions of dollars" he
continued. 1.-THE initial cost of auto
mobiles to American users amounts
to not less than $3.50, 100000 a year.
The up-keep and other necessary ex-
penditures, as we'll as incidentals,
which would not otherwise be in
Cured, amount to at least as much
more. This vast sum is equivalent
in actual economic waste each year
to more than the value of property
destroyed in the San Francisco fire
perhaps to twice as much. This sum,
as large as it is, does not include the
whole economic loss growing out of
this single item of indulgence. The
thousands of young and able-bodied
men employed in manufacturing ma
chimes and in running and caring for
cars, all are withdrawn from produc-
tive usefulness; they become consum-
ers of our diminishing surplus pro-
ducts and constitute an added bur-
den to the producers. The economic
influence of this withdrawal from the
producing and addition to the con-
Stunning class, is bound to be mani
tested in tendency to higher prices.
It's effect already must be consider
able, and is comparable only to the
maintenance of an enormous, stand
ing army.
Thousands upon thousands of our
people, frenzied by desire for pleas
ure and crazed by passion to spend.
have mortgaged their homes. pledged
their life insurance policies, with
drawn their hard-earned savings
from banks to buy automobiles and
have thereby converted their modest
assets into expanding and devouring
liabilities The spectacle is astound-
ing.
I'm the matter of individual ex-
renditures it is the fashion now to be
