First Car Preceded

The first carload of red raspberries
went through the process of pre-
cooling Friday. There were $50
crates of berries and the work of
pumping the cold air through them
was begun at $3.50 o'clock in the aft
trnoon and continued until I o'clock
When the berries were put in the
car their temperature was about 90
or 20 degrees and at 5 it had been
lowered to 40 degrees. The berries
We're shipped to Minneapolis in the
evening.
Among the crates of berries that
were to be shipped were a number
to be used for experimental purposes.
These experimental crates were take
out of the car when it was shipped
and placed in refrigerator car.
When the car arrives in Minneapolis
the experim entail crates will be taken
out, thus showing in just what con-
dition the berries will keep when
proceeded. BY comparing the re-
suits of the keeping qualities of pre-
cooled berries and those which have
not been treated. it may be found
just what benefit is derived by lower
ing the temperature of the berries
before shipping.

PRICES FOR SHEEP
ARE GOOD N EAST
George Olney Nets q Dollar Per
Head More Than If He Had
Sold to Buyers in Yakima

Returns have been received in
North Yakima from the sheep sent to
Chicago by Coffin Bros. for George
| Olney Of the Yakima reservation. The
animals arrived at the end of their
trip in excellent condition. The sheep
melted Mr.. Olney s4.50 here. which is
better by a dollar than he could have
done had he sold in North Yakima
to the buyers who were making their
purchases here at the time he ship
ped. He brought the top price of the
market at the time of his sales. The
prices quoted on the lambs was equiv
alent to $500 for them here. Al
together this made an excellent SAFE
and showed the wisdom Of making
the eastern shipment.
TrainlOad Goes East
A trainload of sheep went east
through North Yakima Friday. For-
rest Wenner in charge, enroute for
Chicago. They were the Pennie sheep
In which Mr.. Wenner is interested.
They were a nice looking lot. AS an
illustration of the way the business
Is done in this wild and woody west
these days it may be said that Mr..
Wenner rode to Ellensburg Thursday
a fternoon in his automobile to be
present at the loading of the animals.
Though he looked like any herdcr
when he went through here, and TO
the fastener along the railway who
sees him down in the cars getting the
fallen sheep to their feet will be n
typical Westerner the fact remains
that he rode 10 his work in an auto
mobile and when he returns from
Chicago it will be to Ellensburg To
get the car to come home in.
May Raise Price
There is every belief that the large
shipments of sheep from the Yakima
valley this season to the east will
have the effect Of stiffening the prices
here for the sound markets. The
number of head sent east is large in
the aggregate and must have it's effect
on the market in this portion of the
country

He Saves Money

Captain Leo. A. Meigs, commIssary
of the Second Regiment Infantry,
Washington National Guard, returned
from the annual tour of duty at
American lake, with a record for sub
ssting the troops cheaply and we'll
While at camp, Captain Meigs acted
as camp commissary, having to feed
500 men in the Second Regiment
Troop B., the Signal Corps COMPANY
the band, the commissioned staff
and the field hospitals to feed. Dur
ing ten days the men were fed as
never before in a similar camp.
In Regular Army Style
Several weeks previous to going into
camp, Captain Meigs was on duty
with the regular army in southern
California, where he worked with the
commissary department, learning
tho latest methods in computing the
amount of ratiohs NEEDED for GER
tain number of men. and the best
manner of securing that amount an l
caring for It,
Before the regiment went into
camp. Captain Meigs figured up the
requirements, and advertised for
supplies the way it is done in the
regular army. So nicely did he figure
out the amount required that at the
conclusion of the ten-day ancamp-
ment all he had over was three sacks
,,f Of a fp w
pounds Of coffee. one box of soap, one
boS Of candles and 60 pounds IF
! sugar viii, was either returned or
sold. =.
Bills of Fare Furnished
The total cost of subsisting 500 SOL
diers during ten days amounted 70
$1,000. which meant that ii cost an
average Of 25 cents per man per day,
a remarkable showing. Captain
Maigs figured out some tentative bills
OF fare to be used every day during
the encampment by thos who wished
to do so. Captain Bolles of Company
F., North Yakima. elected to use
them. with the result that he saved
on his ration allowance. Com
panies that did not follow the bills of
fare furnished by the camp commits
sary we're not as successful in staying
within their ration allowance.
| Commended by Governor
This hne showing came to the
knowledge OF Governor Hay, who
comm ended the comnissary officer
! for his work The camp cost the
state approximately $500 day for
each of the ten days service. Two
thirds of this was for salaries. $1,000
for subsistence. about that for trans
portatiou and the balance for general
expenses.

Searching for Results

The officials who are conducting
the experiments do not know as yet
what temperature is the ideal one
for keeping the. berries. The car
which was shipped away was lowered
below the ice temperature of a car,
which is about 40 degrees. BY eX-
perimentng with the berries at diff
ferent degrees the officials hope to
hit upon one which Will act as a
standard temperature.
The preceding plant is what is
known as a movable one and is OPP
Grated under the supervision of the
department of agriculture of the
United States governm ent 1t con-
sists of an ordinary freight car con-
tanning a 12-ton ammonia compress

Methods of Operation

After d car of berries has been
packed and is ready for pre- cooling
it is taken to a side track and joined
to the plant by large insulated pipe
bout 30 inches in circumference
This pipe is placed over the ice
bunllers at each end of the car and
when the big fan is started the cold
air from the refrigerating plant IS
conveyed into one end and out the
other The cold air circulates through
the entire car and in "a few hours
time cools the berries to a degree
which would take many hours under
the old system of icing the car and
prevents them from ripening much
sooner than formerly,

Meat Inspection

Meat inspectiin is of course a step
IN the right direction, but that it does
not go far enough is apparent from
conditions right here in North Yak
ma. The federal inspectors examine
only such meat as is sent from stats
to state. If the federal law is sup
plemented 10y adequate state laws, al
is well. II there are no state laws
people buying meat raised in the
state are in the same boat as North
Yakima. They have to take theii
beef and mutton and their pork on
trust, hoping FOR the best.

Very Peculiar.

Never in the history of pofit-
ical parties in Harrison County
has there been such a lack Of
interest taken il. the election as
occurred last Monday. Why
this was 50, We are unab@e -
say. Yhe measures before the
people we're never moro impet-
tans than at the present time,
and yet, strange to say, the vo-
ters seemed to disregard every
political duty, and refused or
neglected to exercise their obli-
cation as citizens, to SO get as
to instruct their congressman
as to how to vote on pending
legislation.
This seeming want Of interest
on the part Of the voters must
be from the facs that the cleo
ton being held just at the ve,y
busiest time of the year, when
farmers felt it necessary to be
in their fields, and leaving the
result of the election to the cit
les and town, and feeling no
special interest in the result, so
let the election, as it were, go
by default.
Take this city as a sample Of
the voting, we find that at the
last years election we cast 652
votes, and at the Mondays cleo
ton only 424, or a falling off Of
228 votes. If this state of facts
exists all over the county, that
cast, at the election a 81 vetes,
will demonstrate a very large
decrease in the vote Of this
county, not because we have
lost voters, but because of a
failure to vote. This may make
a vast difference in the future
political character of Harrison
county, which is now reported
to be Democratic, for the first
time in twenty years. Another
vote (Socialist), will have to be
reckoned with. Here it was
about 40 votes. These figures
all indicate an entire political
change, and makes the county
good fighting ground for the
great battle to be foughtin 1912.
