AUTO TIRES FILLED WITH
JELLY INSTEAD OF AIR
Plant Inetalied at North Yakima to DO
Away With BlOwOuts and
Punctnres

+. f. Meyer, who conducts a
blacksmith and general repair shop
at North Yakima has lately added
a plant for the manufacture OF
"Timetest, a material invented
last year for the filling of auto and
other rubber tires, which does
away with the necessity of filling
with air and hence makes pune
lures harmless and blowouts i'm
possible. The plant consists of
steam boiler and engine, gas
stove for melting the material and
gun" for filling the tires, built
on the principal of a hydraulic ram.
Mr.. Meyer thoroughly investigated
the process before ordering the
plant, and satisfied himself that it
was a practical success. The basis
of the material used is a vegetable
oil. 1t is inserted into the tires in
a liquid condition and afer - hours
sOlidifies into a mass resembling
jelly of the consistency of printers
rollers. Mr.. Meyer says the mix
ture will not harm the rubber, and
tires will really last longer than
when filled with air.

COLUMBIA RIVER
VALLEY PRAISED
L. S. Irrigation Official Tells of the
Possibilities of Dairy
Farming

S. 0. Jayne, manager of the
United States irrigation projects for
the northwest, on returning to his
headquarters in Spokane from an
extensive visitation of farmers in
stitutes ard experimental stations,
said:
/ find people in the Columbia
river valley, from Alfalfa to White
Bluffs, are greatly interested in the
possibilities of dairy farming and
hog raising.
The localities in question, under
irrigation will raise larger crops of
alfalfa than almost any other parts
of Washington. 8The people are
considering the matter of getting
dairy COWS and feeding them to
alfalfa and also going into hog rails
ing on an extensive scale. The
cultivation of alfalfa is needed for
building up the fertility of the soil,
which is naturally lacking in humus.
Alfalfa, too, is means of getting
quicker return on investments
than fruit raising. In the valley
away from the railways, it is worth
$40 a ton and on board the cars is
worth S12 ton. Three or four
crops can be raised in season,
equaling about seven tons to the
acre. 1t is good for the land, en-
riching instead of exausting it.
Another point is, that it. increases
the water holding capacity of the
soil, an important matter where
water isscarce or haste be pumped. y

Snokaue Chamber of Commerce Starts

Thirty-seven boards of trade and

This is the opening campaign Of
a "Know-Your- Own-C Country First"
movement, the primary purpose
being to give eastern investors,
manufacturers and business men an
opportunity to become more init
mately acquainted with the finan-
clal, industrial and commercial
possibilities of the Northwestern
and Pacific states and to cement
the bonds of friendship between
the eastern and western people.
Arrangements for the reception
and entertainment of the delegates
at various points between St. Paul
and Minneapolis and the Pacific
coast will be made by the Spokane
Vhamber OF Commerce through a
special committee of 100 represen-
latlve citizens, headed by Edwin T.
Ooman, president of the organiza-
ton. Chambers Of commerce in
Minnesota, North and South Dako-
Ia, Montana, Wyoming, Idaho,
Washington and Oregon, and state
county and city officials will assist
IN giving the eastern visitors a
genuine western welcome.

SENATOR KENYON.

We do not think that any other pub
lie man who has visited this county
lever made such an universally good
impression as did Senator w. S. Ken
yon on the day of the old settlers pic
mic. Other men have created more
partisan enthusiasm, but none have
been better liked for themselves. Com
rment which We have heard from stall
wart republicans, from insurgents and
from democrats bears out this state
ment. The people seem to realize
that the future of the country lies not
with the hard-shell reactiorary or with
the offensive radicalism OF Cummins
and LaFollette. Still further. the
democrats of this section seem to real
ize the ineffectiveness of their own
