Two carloads of horses arrived in
North Yakima Tuesday for r. w.
Dooly who has been on a purchasing
trip in lddaho Mr. Dooly found
horses scarce ana hard to obtain. The
prices he says, were not unreasou-
able but the difficulty was in find
ing the animals. The old ranches
are being cut up all through the
northwest into five ten and twenty
acre tracts and the farmers, while
they have room for a horse or two,
have no place for yong stock and
therefor are no making an effort
to raise it. In addition there is a
great business right now in horses
for Canada. There Is considerable
irrigation work in progress in Al

velopment there. This. Mr.. Dooly
says, makes a demand for horses

Some time after the conviction, At
torney Holden filed a motion for a
new trial on the plea of newly dis
covered evidence and because of GER
tain errors. In the application for
new trial, affidavits were filed to
the effect that w. Fl. Heating, a
colored porter in a barber shop, had
some of the stolen property in his
possession after the murder. 1t is
stated that some of the property
found consisted of opium. 1t was the
theory of the defense that Heating
had committed the murder. He was
under suspicion. The defense claim
ed that the police had a warrant To
search Keatings rooms, but never
served the warrant. After two months
consideration by Judge Preble, this
request for a new trial was denied.
Now at the last moment, friends
of Wilson have raised q fund to carry
the case to the state supreme court,
which on motion of Attorney Holden
will be done. Wilson is "A years old

Most Noted Case
This case was one of the most noted
in the criminal annals Of Yakima
county and was wholly tried on cir
cumsta initial evidence, nobody so far
as know being present at the killing
of the Chinaman in his den. He was
found dead on the afternoon of Nov.
10, 1910 in his shack, near the corn
er of Front and Chestnut streets, his
head having been beaten in and every
thing valuable around he place was
taken by the person who committed
the murder. Charles Wilson, a negro
was arrested on suspicion and the
purse of the dead Chiuaman was
found in his pocket. This was the
main link in the chain of evidence
placed before the jury by the prose-
cutting attorney.
The implements used in the murder
were broken gun stock, which was
found covered with blood, and
slung-shot made of pair of Women's
stocking loaded with stones. The trial
lasted four or five days, George B.
Holden being appointed by the court
to defend the negro. Finally on Sat
urday. December 81, the case was
given to the jury, which debated over
the evidence for twenty-four hours
and on the first day of the new year
returned a verdict or murder in the
second degree.

From the details that have been pre-
sented with regard to the increase OF Jne
prices of farm products between farmer
and consumer, the conclusion is newt
able that the customer has no Well
grounded complaint against the farmer
for the prices that he pays. The farmer
supplies the capital for production ana
takes the risk of his losses; his crops
are at the mercy of drought and food.
and heat and frost to say nothing OF
noxious insects and blighting diseases.
He supplies hard, exacting, unremitung
labor A degree and range of information
and intelligence are demanded by agri-
culture which are hardly equaled in any
other occupation Then there is the risk
of overproduction and dfsastrously low
prices From beginning to end the farm
er must steer dextrously. to escape perils
to his profits and indeed to his capital
ON every hand AT last the products are
started on their way TO the consumer.
The railroad, generally speaking, adds a
percentage of increase to the farmer :
prices that is not large. after delivery
by the railroad the products are stored
a short time, are measured into the var
ious retail quantities, more or less small,
and the dealers are rid of them as soon
as possible. The dealers have risks that
are practically small. except credit sales
and such risks as grow out Of their try
ing to do an amount of business which
is small as compared with their number.
After consideration of the elements Of
the matter, it is plain that the farmer is
not getting an exorbitant price for his
products, and that the cost of dfstribu-
ton from the time of delivery at destina-
ton by the railroad to delivery TO the
consumer IS the feature OF the problem
of high prices which must present itself
to the consumer for treatment.
Why do not consumers buy directly
from the farmers? A distribution of farm
products In this simple way has already
begun in England. where cooperative or
ganizations of farmers are selling by d.
rect consignment to cooperative organi-
cations of consumers in cities.
Farmers cooperative selling associa-
tions are numerous In this country, but
cooperative buying associations among
the people of critics and towns are few.
Aside from buying associations maintain
ed by farmers, hardly any exist In this
country 1t is apparent, therefore. that
the consumer has much to do TO work
out his own salvation with regard to the
prices that he pays. Potatoes were sell
ing last spring in some places where
there had been overproduction for q
cents and in some places for even 9 cents
per busheI at the farm. while at the
same time city customers In the East
were paying 50 to Is cents per bushel, al
though there was nothing to prevent
them from combining to buy carload or
more of potatoes directly from the grower
and for delivery directly to themselves.

whatever style of poultry house is

cakes and table scraps with a drink
of skim milk occasionally make one
of the best balanced rations that can
be found for a few hens. Tt is my
opinion that the fact that few hens

number is due in a measure to table
scraps forming a large proportion of
their ration.-W. M Kelley.
