COLD STORAGE HELPS TO BOOST
PRICES

Cold storage has raised the cost of
living by increasing the annual price
level for butter and eggs, Is a state
ment made in the annual report of
the secretary of agriculture just made
public. The secretary does not throw
any stones nor make any accusations,
but says relative that what the con-
sumner pays for the food is more than
twice what the producer got for it.
"Who gets the rest?" he asks, but
gives no answer.
The findings OF the investigation
that the department of agriculture
has been pursuing since the preced-
ing report was given out will make
an excellent showing support leg
islation now before congress which
is aimed to correct the abuses of the
storage of food products. Amend
ments to the pure food laws have
been drawn to limit the length of
time which certain food products may
be stored before Offering them on the
market.
Assertions have been made that the
food products have been held in cold
storage for two or more years merely
for the purpose of Withdrawing them
from the market. thus limiting the
visible supply and maintaining the
higher price. 1t has been also shown
that under cold storage the food has
deteriorated, lost its nutritive values
and is not a fit and proper article of
diet when the spectators offer it to
the market Hence it is that legis-
lation is offered to correct some of
these abuses.
Senator Hepburn, OF Idaho, who is
the author of the national pure food
bill has made an exhaustive study of
the abuses of the cold storage propo-
sition and has been seeking for 1ev-
eral sessions past to get through con-
gress some amendments to the pure
food law limiting the length OF time
that certain classes of foods may be
held in cold storage with an idea OF
maintaining higher standard of food

YAKIMA MANS HOP STORY
Frank Jackson's Successes Told in Ell
lensburg Paper

Frank Jackson, who will be remem-
bered as former hotel man here, now
living in Yakima, was in the city a few
days ago and told an interesting story
of his experience in growing hops
down there. He had eight acres of
land leased and this year he had what
is claimed to be the record yield of
the United States. His tract averaged
1850 pounds to the acre and he re-
ceived 40 cents a pound for his pro-
duct. The cost of putting the hops
on the car he says is seven cents a
pound. 1t will be seen, therefore that
his gross return was S11,720, an aver
age of $1465 per acre. His expenses
were $1S76 which would leave him a
net profit for the eight acres of $9S44

crop last year. but with prices con-
|siderably lower it will be surmised
that he has been doing pretty we'll as

BY Way of Comment

That a woman in this day of pro-
gress must be able to construct "a
cherry pie or an epigram' with equal
facility seems to be the general opin-
ion, and mothers who have the educa-
ton of daughters to think of must
bear it in mind. Not only must the
girl be taught the domestic arts and
sciences, but she must have a good
general education that will make it
possible for her to hold her own in
other affairs of life than those that
pertain merely to the material. More
than ever before in the worlds history
is it necessary that girl shall be we'll
educated, and that does not mean
merely that she shall have a smat-
tering of many things, but that she
shall have firm foundation upon
which to build her tower of knowl-
edge, the construction of which be-
gins when her school days end. A
girl who is going to college should be
entered in the schools with that in
mind and should take a course that

stage in education has been passed.
girl who does not intend to take
higher educational courses has more
time for reading and for literature
and language. Much of the mathe-
MATES in the schools should be cut out
where girls are concerned. What
earthly good Is geometry to a young
woman who loves history and litera-
ture and writes poetry? 1t seems al
most absurd that the school authori-
ties should insist upon higher algebra
and geometry when the girl is incapa-
BILE of compromising either and could
learn French in half the time and to
so much better advantage. In the
days of the old regime the women of
the French salons studied the nice art
of conversation. They learned things
to be able to talk about them, thing
women of this day would scorn to do.
But it does seem little strange that
knowing so much more about the very
same things, politics, literature, re-
ligion and so on, so many young wo-
men are not able to talk about them
but no doubt the young woman OF
the next generation will be able, as

speculation that is now practiced in
handling the product.
In this connection Secretary Wilson
in his report suggests that cold stor-
age men should be required to make
monthly reports to the government
of the amount of food In storage
Such a report might properly include
the length Of time the articles had
been in storage and thus give the
government a check upon the abuses
of the system This coupled with a
law limiting the length of storage
would enable the dealers on the
open market to know just what stor-
age products would be forced on the
market and would regulate the prices

Seepage and Drainage Water ir
Lower Naches Has Reached
Damaging Stage
RANCHERS GET TOGETHER
TO SOLVE THE PROBLEM
Drainage Engineer Weir Will Pre-
sent Plans at a Meeting Thurs
day for an Abatement of the
Difficulty

The Buckskin- Miller slough in the
Lower Naches is called a menace. 1t
is not natural waterway. This So
called slough begins at Eschbach and
runs southeasterly along the foot OF
the bench to the river near the Paint
ed Rocks. The slough is caused by
seepage from the land irrigated under
the lower Gleed ditch and the Naches
Canal and by the waste water from
said bitches which the ranchers for
years have dumped over the bench to
allow it to find it's way to the river
as best it could.
How the Trouble Grew
Many Of the farmers who owned
land above the bench also owned land
below the bench and it is still that
way in some cases. So this seeping
and wasting have been going on for
years. Each man knew that he could
not afford to dig and maintain a ditch
sufficient to carry this seepage which

the bottom of the bench, and the
waste water from the irrigated land
which has been poured down into this
crooked, haphazard, damaging, I'M
slightly little stream. So it has beer
put off for years.
Petition in Circulation
Every intelligent rancher in the
Lower Naches under these bitches
knows he has by his seepage and
waste water been causing an undue
and serious damage to property under
the bench and every fair minded man
who irrigates under the Lower Gleed
and Naches canals is believed to be
willing to sign a petition to have this
matter made right.
Are Trying to Cooperate
The damaged property owners are
becoming aroused over the situation
but are willing to cooperate with
those who are causing the damage if
they will get together now and form
a drainage district. A mass meeting
of all the land owners under the
Lower Gleed and Naches canals will
be held Thursday, December IA, at 7
p. m. in the Gleed school house. AT
this meeting there will be something
doing and therefor the property own
ers are all being urged to be present
and take part in the proceedings.
Drainage Expert Engineer w. w. Weir
is to be present to show plans and to
answer questions.

KL|CK|TAT COMPANY
ASKS FOR INJUNCTION
Northernwestern Electric Com
pany Is Made Defendant in
Superior Court Here

The Klickitat Irrigation and Power
company has commenced an action
against the Northwestern Electric
company for an injunction to prohibit
it from using or making any claim TO
the right to use the waters alleged to
be owned by the plaintiff. The plain
tiff company was organized in May,
1905, and appropriated more than
1000 inches of the Klickitat river
above its confluence with the Big
Muddy. The intention is to irrigate
100000 acres of land, extending over
800 square miles of territory, using
more than 200 miles of main and lat
eral canal. Carroll =. Graves, of Seat
tie, attorney for ne company, was in
North Yakima on Monday in connec-
tion with the filing of papers in SUI
perior court.
The land to be irrigated by the
Klickitat Irrigation and Power com
pany already signed up is valued at
see, 100000, while the PROJECT is to
cost something like $14,000,000. The
famous Horse Heaven country comes
under this ditch.

SALOON QUESTION IS
AG|TAT|NG TOPPEN|SH
Prediction Made That There Nav
Be Surprise When Licenses
Are Granted

W. H. Shea, jr., city attorney-elect
of Toppenish, was in North Yakima
Saturday attending to business. He
expressed the opinion that the sweep
ing victory of the Citizens ticket
electing ten candidates out of eleven
over the Business Mems ticket, will
have a beneficial effect both on pol
itics and business in the reservation
town.
Without quoting Mr.. Shea word for
word, it would seem that there are
going to be number of surprises In
store for the people there, not only
for those who were most bitter in
their opposition to the election of DR.
H. M. johnson as mayor and the 9TH
ers of the Citizens ticket, but also
to some of those who worked so va
liantly for the winning ticket.
The saloon question is referred to
as the probable element of surprise
Mr.. Shea says he does not desire tc
appear as spokesman for the council.
men elected, as they are abundantly
able to do their own talking, but he
is personally of the opinion that
there is not going to be a great num-
Der of saloon licenses granted, prob.
ably not more than six. 1t is to be
expected, however, that some of those
who have licenses at present will MOI
have their licenses renewed. The rea.
son for this speculation is that hav.
ing been on the winning side a veal
ago, and four saloonkeepers on the
losing side having had their licenses
taken away, there will be reprisals
made. The Business Mems steam
roller put Matt ooynor, Carlson &
Moore and Swan Erickson out of bus
mess last year, making the remaining
licenses much more valuable. Thai
those who got licenses appreciated
the favors shown them, was made
very evident when they came before
the council and planked down $30C
each, in addition to the maximum sum
of $1,000 that may be legally charged
for a license in a town the size OF
Toppenish. The council accepted the
money, but not by the votes of the
councilmen, who had been elected or
the Citizens ticket.
Mr.. Shea has had valuable expe-
rience as city attorney, having acted
in like capacity in a large city OF
Michigan prior to coming to Yakima
county to make his home, and Top
penish will thus reap the benefit.

Panama Tolls

The people of the entire Pacific
coast are interested in low tolls on the
Panama canal. 1t is the encourage
ment of commerce and the multiple
cation of trade rather than immediate
and heavy profits on shipping thai
chiefly interest the people of the Pa
cific coast states.
The transcontinental railroads will
bring to bear all the influence at their
disposal to secure high tolls on ship
ping through the canal for the pro-
lection Of transcontinental rates.
Over against the Pacific coast de-
mand for low tolls there will be the
seemingly businesslike demand for
profits on shipping to reimburse the
government, pay cost of construction
operation and maintenance and pro-
vide a sinking fund out of a prospec-
tive surplus. If this very specious
argument is to be met in the interest
of low tolls to permit of that increa sc
of intercostal shipping to which the
people Of this cost look forward, II
will have to be looked after early.
