HIGH PRICES FOR

in Lower Valley Town
Claim Grandview Peaches
Bring Best Prices.

GRANVIEW, Wash, Sept. s.
Especial to the Herald.-Peach grow
ing at the present time seems to be
very profitable occupation at
Grandview. Peaches are now and
have been all season above so cents
per box. The reason for this given
by c. A. Barndt, of the firm of Barndt
&, Snowden, commission merchants
of Grandview, is the fact that there
are so few peach orchards in bear
ing here yet that as a result not
enough peaches are grown to supply
the local consumers. Speaking of the
situation in general, Mr.. Barndt said,
Best Prices at Grandview.
"I think Grandview peach growers
this year have commanded better
prices as a whole, than the growers
in any other part of the Yakima
valley. We have never paid less than
so cents a box for peaches, of almost
any grade, and as there are but few
peach orchards in bearing here yet,
the demand of the local merchants
has forbade shipping any of these
that have been grown. I must say
that all the fruit I have seen here,
though, is Of the best quality in the
country. Our peaches are something
we can justly be proud of.

"The term, standpattism, said the

No Choice--Satus Precinct Fails
to Land But One Name.

At the close of a long and tedious
days work Thursday, the county COM
missioners, with the exception of two
instances, had finished naming the in
spectors and judges for the coming
primary election September 13. Not
withstanding that no little time was
spent on the Status precinct, the COM
missioners, shortly after five o'clock,
found it necessary to adjourn for the
day with an inspector and one Judge
yet to be chosen for that place. They
will meet again this morning when
the two remaining Status officials will
be chosen.
The list follows:
Ahtanum-Inspect James Wiley;

made in their place. This cut is
only about 1000 feet long, but in spite
of this it has taken nearly five months
to complete it, owing to the fact that
a siphon of a government canal had
to be made. The contract was taken
from the n. P. by Eschbach and
Bruce, grading and general railroad
contractors of Seattle, and all the
dirt from the cut was used in the
large North Coast fill across the
town, they having the grading con-
tracts for both roads
North Coast All Finished.
The North Coast fill has been fin
ished for about three weeks, but the
cut on the n. p. has been delayed
by a crossing on Main street. The
railroad company attempted to cut
through this street at a depth of 10
feet, but an injunction was served on
the contractors by the town, request
ing that some provision for an over
head crossing would be made before
the work could progress. Consequent
ly this part of the cut was worked
around and save for the last. Two
large entertainments Of dirt are being
in the road, to make abuttments for
a viaduct. Carpenters started to work
on the viaduct yesterday morning and
it is probable that by the end of the
week the street will be again open
for traffic.
Laying Track at Granger
The North Coast tracklaying has
progressed as far as Granger, ac-
cording to reports coming in and as
the grading is practically finished
from Granger to Parker it is prob
able that by the end of the present
week or the first of next week that
the crew will be to the bridge on
the Yakima at Parker All of the
side tracks have been finished here
for some time, and supply trains were
in the yards until the first of the
week, when they were moved up to
near Granger. 1t is understood in
local railroad circle that the track
laying crew has orders to keep the
track in the rear of them clear at
all times, apprehending special trains
of the officials. Up to the present
time there has been no kind Of train
service over the road into Grandview
with the exception of the supply
trains. but it is confidently expected
that passenger service between this
place and Kennewick will be inaug-
urated some time within the next
two weeks. There is nothing official
to this report, however.
The foundation for the passenger
and freight depot on the North Coast
for Grandvxiew has been finished,
and it is thought carpenters will
commence at once on the remainder
OF the building.

COMMERCIAL GRADING AND
PACKING TO BE TAUGHT

SPOKANE, Wash, Sept. 3.-Com-
mercial grading and packing, in
which growers and handlers in the
box group, composed of California,
Washington, Oregon, Idaho, Utah,
New Mexico, Montana, Colorado and
British Columbia are keenly interest
ed will be taught free to all at the
school in connection with the third
National Apple Show in Spokane, No
Vember IA to 10.
A. P. Bateham, of Mosier, Ore,
who was chief judge of pack at the
second show, and j NJ. Carroll, also
of Moser, a scientific packer of wide
experience, will have charge of the
classes. Diagonal and square packs
as used in the northwestern and
special boxes will be demonstrated
The school will occupy the entire
floor of the state armory, with tables
and racks to accommodate at least
so pupils and leave ample room for
spectators There will be sessions
from o'clock to noon every morn
ing during the week. The students
are eligible to enter the packing con-
test, in which 500, a gold medallion
watch charm and the title of world s
champion is the first prize, with $50
and s25 in gold to second and third,
respectively.
Apple packers are in demand in
districts where boxes are used and
to supply competent men and women
to do this work is the chief purpose
of the packing school. Apple pack
ing as practiced in the box districts
is an art, requiring mathematical pre-
cision, good judgment and skilled
handling, and there are always places
for workers.
1t is believed that the school will
be the means of interesting many in
the apple packing industry not only
in this part of the country but also
elsewhere.

LAY MILE OF TRACK
IN HALF AN HOUR
North Coast Construction Crew
At Granger Sets a New
Record.

GRANGER, Sept. 5.-(SpeciaD -
A mile of track laid in 80 minutes is
the record which the local crew of
the North Coast construction outfit
stationed here are claiming tonight.
The particular mile is the last one be-
fore entering the city limits where
operations will be delayed for a few
days, so the men decided to put it
through in a hurry, with the above
result.
A crew of 500 men is expected to
be stationed here for the next five or
six weeks and when the track
through town is completed it is be-
lieved that no further delays will be
encountered until the bridge at Union
Gap is reached.

He rolled over several times, and

injuries consisted of bruises about
both knees. and a general shaking up

him, stated last night that the sher-

Name $4,000 for Streets.

Probably the largest single in
crease in the departments. is the
$4,000 that the council say, must
be expended on the streets This. &C.
cording to the mayor. is more than
$4,000 greater than the figures named
in this department for the present
year. While the $4,000 does not APP
pear to be a large increase, it must
be taken into consideration that with
but few exceptions, all street inter-
sections are now being paved by the
property holders whereas this came
out of the street fund during the
larger part of the present year.
The fire department estimate Of
$18,500, was finally shaved to that
figure from Assistant Chief Doa's es-
innate Of $47,7S0. The figure on
which the levy will be made, does not
include the much talked of extern
sive Improvements nor the purchase
of any new fire fighting apparatus.
These come under special appropria-
tons.
Following the completion Of the
budget, action was taken authorizing
the installation of Is new fire hy-
drants throughout the city.

KAUFMAN WINS POPULAR
DECISION OVER LANG

PHILADELPHIA. Sept. Sal
Kaufman, the California heavy
weight, tonight won a popular de-
cison over Bill Lang, the Australian
heavyweight, who showed to advan-
tage in only one round, the second.
The fight was disappointing as a
spectacle. Frequently Lang would
lead with his left and then rush to
clinch, requiring the referee to keep
the men apart
In the sixth, Kaufman rushed Lang
around the ring but was unable to
land a knockout. Kaufman left the
ring without mark while Lang's
face was swollen.
The ring was pitched in a baseball
park, between the home plate and
the pitchers box. Arc lights were
suspended from the top Of the grand
stand.

BOOKS CLOSED MONDAY;
OTHER PLANS ARRANGED

Because a doubt existed as to the
legality of registering for the COM
ing primary on Labor day, the city
clerks office remained closed Monday
notwithstanding that a movement be-
hind which was a number of promin-
ent politicians, to keep the books
open, was on foot. Several promin-
ent attorneys in the city completely
disagreed as to the legality of the
case and for this reason the city clerk
ruled that three nights this week
would needs suffice for the unregis-
tered laboring men.
Thursday, Friday and Saturday
nights have been set by the city
clerk as the evenings when the books
