FOUND IN CANADA

f. A. O'Brien. who with w. II
Hesre of Mabton. has been on a visit
tn the Calgary section Of Canada, has
returned to North Yakima greatly inn
pressed with what he saw and heard
there. Reciprocity. according to Mr.
O'Brien, will meet with approval of
the people of that part of Canada
though the vote will not be as over
Uhelming as the merits of the ques-
ton would otherwise determine. This
sis because large portion of the press
has taken up the annexation cry and
is trying to impress upon the voters
that the United States is seeking to
acquire Canada. Mr.. O'Brien talked
with number of the bankers and
merchants who understand the situ-
alton but there are other and older
voters, British by birth or allegiance,
with whom the cry will have an in
nuence.
North of Calgary the main crop APP
pears to be oats and south of Cal
gary it is wheat The oat men will
average close to 100 bushels TO the
acre and the wheat men close to 40
bushels Mr.. O'Brien saws that he
went 10 NdHaua ON way OF the Pa
louise country and thought that there
he saw some excellent wheat but when
he saw the Canadian fields the Pa
louise fields seemed poor TO him.

saw them a couple of years ago and
he thinks that Edm onton, which now
has a population of about 80, 900 peo-
pie is to be the metropolis of western
Canada. There are a great many Ann
orleans going In there and amons
others he met young man, formerly

unable to recall.
Mr.. OBrien says that part of Can

LABOR STRIKE
ENDS At ONCE
Compromise Reached Through
the Effort of Chancellor
Loyd-George
SPECIAL COMMISSION
WILL HEAR DISPUTE
Both Sides to Controversy Pledge
Themselves They Will Be
Bound by Findings of the
Commission

LONDON, Aug. 1s.-A great wave
of relief swept over the country when
at IL o'clock announcement was
made that the railway strike was set
tied. kilograms bearing the infor-
nation crossed in transit with des-
patches telling of the strike riots in
Wales.
Much of the credit for the settle-
ment appears due to Lloyd George,
chancellor of the exchequer, who
worked for Cancellation when all oth-
ers of the interested parties des-
paired. The appointment Of special
commission obviates the mems OBJ
lection to royal commission which
they contend always brought delay.
The employees claims that the ar
rangement is satisfactory for union
ism on the point Of recognition UNI
ions.
AS a result of the agreement troops
will be withdrawn. There is no
doubt that today's trouble at Llanelly
influenced the settlement as the Hb-
eral government had almost its exist
ence at stake, as it depends on the
working classes for its power.
Men GEL to Work at Once
The settlement of the railway strike
was reached at a conference between
David Lloyd George, chancellor OF
the exchequer and the executives of
the mems society. The labor leaders
said tonight that the men would re-
turn to work at once.
The terms of agreement are that
the strike will be terminated and the
leaders use their efforts to induce the
men to return to work Immediately;
that all men involved in the present
dispute will be reinstated without be-
ing subjected to proceedings for
breach of contract, that the concil-
iation boards will be convened to set
tie forthwith Both parties to give
every assistance to the special COM
mission of inquiry which will consist
of five members, two employers, two
workmen and impartial chairman.
Assurances will be given out by
both parties to the agreement that
they will propose to parliament at the
next session legislation providing that
an increase due to increased labor
cost on account of Improvement in
conditions will be a valid reason for
an increase in railway charges The
agreement has been signed by all
present at the conference.

YAKIMA MUST
Be MENTIONED
This Valley Furnishes Standards
Of Success to Writers on Irri-
CATION Matters
FRANK G. CARPENTER
TELLS OF RESULTS
In Press Matter From National
Capital He Sends Out Facts
Concerning Districts Which
Are Making Good

Yakima, when any writer find
himself called upon to tell of the sue
cess and triumphs of irrigation, mus
of necessity be mentioned This il
again illustrated by Frank G. Carpen
ter, who has returned to his favoritt
theme of irrigation, and who writing
| from Washington, D. c., in a genera
letter on irrigation says, among other
things:
Pacific Fruit Gases
Take the fruit cases OF the Pacific
northwest. If the information did not
come from the government I should
not venture to quote it, for the prices
seem to be out of all reason Irri-
gated fruit lands owned by individ-
uals right near some of the govern
ment tracts sell for from 800 to $2,-
900 an acre, and some of the sage
brush nearby is bringing $50 an acre
and upward.
This is the Yakima valley and
others of that region where dams can
be made at the outlets Of mountain
lakes, which will eventually give $780,
acre feet. There is enough water
there to redeem a half million acres
and there are four or five schemes
planned for the Yakima valley alone
There are excellent orchard lands on
nearly all of the projects, and the
men who have taken up holdings are
rapidly growing in wealth.
Settlers Making Money
Engineer Blanchard of the rec
lamation service tells of man nam ed
Silver who planted ten acres of or
chard near Yakima six years ago. He
Melted $2,700 last year from his fruit
and the vegetables which he raised
between the rows In the slime region
J. o. Shadbolt, dry goods merchant
from Montana, made $4,000 from the
fruit raised on forty-one acres. In
1907 the same orchard yielded a gross
OF 500, 900 and net of $4,000, ard
in the three years which the man has
been fruit raising he has netted $780,
900. or more than $4,000 year.
che government reports that full
bearing orchards produce crops of
from 5000 to $4,000 an acre. and that
5000 is less than the average If the
trees are well kept. The lands that
have been redeemed there are being
largely planted to fruit, and millions
of trees have been set out in the VAL
ley during the last season or so.
Tours of the Gases
NEARLY every one of these recla-
nation projects has several towns
which are rapidly springing into beI
ing. In the Yakima valley they are
situated on the government lands and
In the country adjoining. North Yak
ina has over $4,000 people, Sunny
side has 1900, Ellenburg, $500 and
Prosser 1000. In addition to this
there are numbeA of other towns
and villages.
Most Of these places have graded
streets bordered with trees kept alive
by irrigation. They have gas and
electric lights and good telephone
systems. They publish newspapers.
North Yakima has a public library
which cost $4,000. court house
worth $1e5,000, and the government
is erecting a federal building
there at cost of a quarter Of a mil
lion of dollars

Provision Construes Article Eight

WASHINGTON, Aug. 19.-state'

Union with the judicial recall feature

The resolution provides for Arl-
zonas admission with the condition
that Article eight relating to the re-
call be construed not to apply to the
judiciary and that the Arizona people
assent to that construction. An cleo
ton will be called in Arizona and "
a majority of the voters assent to this
construction, the president will then
issue a proclamation and Arizona will
become a state. The resolution ad
mits New Mexico with provision for

vote Representative Flood, chairman
Of the territories committee, declared
the democrats, knowing it was use
80 attempt to pass the original bill
sver the veto, had taken a step to
insure the immediate admission of
The territories. He insisted that the
question was not the Judiciary recall
but 1t was whether the people had
the right to make laws to suit them
selves so long as they did not vio-

the Judiciary recall If it wanted it as
soon as 1t became a state, despite of

CORN ACREAGE WILL
Be LARGER IN 1911
SEASONABLE RAINS AND sun.
SHINE GIVE PROSPECTS FOR
BUMPER CROP IN SOUTH
DAKOTA.

Sioux Falls, S. D.-Last week was
ideal for the farmers of South Da-
kota, particularly the last few days,
and they have made the most of it.
Many of them are now engaged in
getting their corn crop into the
ground having completed the work
of small grain seeding. In other To-
calities, particularly in the northern
part of the state, the farmers are
preparing their ground for corn, and
in another week will be planting the
crop. Reports from various parts of
the state indicate that the corn acre
age will be greatly increased this
season W. what it was last year.
Farmers who last week completed
their small grain seeding considered
themselves fortunate, as the grain
received the benefit of the heavy
soaking rain of last Saturday and
Sunday. Early sown grain now is
we'll above the surface of the ground
and presents a healthy appearance,
the roots being strong and vigorous
The cool weather has been just the
thing for small grain, as it has caus-
ed 1t to stool unusually we'll and in
dicates a bumper crop if timely rains
fall the rest of the growing season.
