APPLE SHOWS GETTING
TO Be FASHIONABLE
Are Held, Big and Little, All
Over the Country at This
Time of Year

The apple show is getting to be
show or the chrysanthemum show
They are having them everywhere
and the Yakima valley, as producer
pre-eminent of the favorite fruit, is
solicited for entries on all sides. For
shows at omaha, st. Paul, New York
and Chicago special exhibits have
been sent, and individual exhibitors
may have entered in other shows.
The SiXtieth International Dry
Farming congress, just completed at
Colorado Springs, while not an apple
show, was of interest to the wheat
growers of the lower Yakima valley.
Premiums valued at $4,000 were dis
tributed at this show, and large
area of arid country was represented.
This year, the limit of entries was
raised slightly by allowing sections to
show where the rainfall is as much
as IS inches, but the evaporation so
rapid that the moisture does not equal
for agricultural purposes places where
the precipitation is as low as Ia
inches.

VALLEY SHIPS
THOUSAND CARS
This Is the Total of Fruit Which
Railroads Have Already
Handled This Season
MUCH LEFT IN STORAGE
TO BE FORWARDED LATER
Demands Made on the Storage
Plants the Last Week or Two
Have Been Greatly in Excess
of the Expectations

Shipments of fruit from the Yakima
valley this season, to date, total APP
proximately 1000 cars if the express
shipments are included and perhaps
definite information on the express
side of the business would show over
a thousand cars for the season. These
figures do not include melons, toma-
toes or such things but are straight
and mixed cars of fruit. Figures
compiled by business man. who has
been giving the matter considerab BILE
study are that the Northern Pacific
railway to date had handled 755 cars
and the o. w. R. & n. had handled
210. He admitted that his totals
might be a few cars out, one way or
the other but was prepared to de-
clare them to be correct to all in
tents and purposes.
Much Fruit In Storage
1t is understood that the westward
shipments have been an aggregate of
about 800 cars and that the proper
ton of fruit which went east of Chi
cago is very light. j. l.. Hughes,
manager of the local ice and cold stor-
age plant, in discussing the figures
called attention to the fact that a
great deal of fruit is yet unshipped,
that all the warehouses are comfort
ably filled and that the storage plants
are carrying much larger proportion
than was expected earlier in the
season. The storage capacity in this
city is several hundred cars and there
has been a liberal use of the accom-
mediation throughout the season with
with a particularly heavy demand the
past week or two. 1t is evident there
fore that there is another couple of
hundred cars of fruit yet to go for
ward this season, if not greater
quantity.

IMPROVING THE ROAD
ON SOUTH MOB HILL
Residents Take Steps to Prevent
Waiting Station From Be-
ing Mutilated

Residents along Mob Hill boule-
ward are displaying the liveliest in
terest in the good roads movement
these days. The specific cause fol
their enthusiasm is the fact that the
county has been doing some improve
ment work at the lower end of then
highway, taking out humps, estab-
fishing grades and building up with
broken stone and gravel certain hol-
lows which have acquired, in the past
regulations as mud holes in the wet
weather.
Moving Fences.
Several of the residents on the
south side Of the street who, at the
time the street railway was put
through, gave the six feet right OF
way required by the company but
postponed moving their fences back
have done 50 the past week, giving the
road a more uniform appearance

Improvement Clubs

1t is the purpose of the movement
to encourage the organization of inn
provement clubs in every ommunity
in the whole county where no such
organization now exists, and for the
county commissioners and the county
engineer to take up with each body
the matter of road improvement in its
neighborhood. In order to meet with
these various organizations "a schedule
will be arranged and the county Off
cials will confer with them as to needs
of their respective districts. In this
manner an interest will be aroused
among the people all over the county
as to re Il building and will enable
them to get what is needed the most.
The policy of this board Is to build
permanent roads rather than do patch
work here and there that will only
have to be gone over again in the near
future

RAILWAY FOLK
Plan TO BUILD
Construction Work Will Break
Loose After the Beginning of
the New Year

President Farrell of the O.-W. r. &
y. railway, Vice-President O'Brien,
who is manager of this division of the
railway. and Vice President X. e.
Strahorn, who is now chief of the de-
partment of construction, are to be III
North Yakima today. They will in
spect the steam and electric lines and
ii is probable will take a run into the
sub-valleys along the route of the pro-
posed extension westward of the steam
road and also the proposed extensions
of the electric line.
The coming here at this time of the
above named gentlemen, while prob
ably it is to them a matter of little
moment from a general inspection of
the railway, and has been planned for
some time, calls attention to the fact
that railway construction rumors have
been rife.
Agreement Soon to Expire
1t has been accepted generally that
there existed an agreement between
the Hill and Hartman lines under
which neither railway was to under
take new work during the year 1911,
this agreement applying as well to the
Hartman electric lines as to the steam
railway systems of both magnates
named. Such agreement, it is also I'M
derstood, will expire with January list
and contractors, bankers and others
fully expect to see considerable activ-
ity in railroad construction the COM
ing year despite all sorts of reports to
the contrary which have been pub
lished of late.
Construction Postponed
Mr. Strahorn announced here a few
days ago that while the Incorporation
of the O.-W r. q n. for construction
westward from North Yakima was
merely for the purpose of perfecting a
legal entity he personally hoped that
the time was not very far distant when
he would have the financial side of
the undertaking completed. James j.
Hill a few days ago announced at St
Paul his intention of building from
Wenatchee to Kennewick at as early
a date as possible and it is wen known
that the Milwaukee railroad is pre-
pairing for some sort of construction
down the Columbia river and possibly
away from the river towards Yakima
There has been announced also the in
corporation of new company to con-
struct from Yakima to Portland via
Vancouver and it is fully expected that
the electric line in this valley will
build into the Selah and also into the
Mckee the coming summer
Expect Much Activity
Men who should know fully expect
a season Of considerable activity in
railroad building as we'll as in other
lines of Development. This state is de-
veloping at a remarkably rapid rate
and this state is but one of several
that are growing. 1t has already been
announced here by Northern Pacific
officials that it takes a long time to
prepare TO prepare" for the hand
ling Of the business which makes two
preparations necessary. 1t is but rea-
sonable to expect development and the
presence here today of the Hartman
officials may have some Significance

COW|CHE FOLK ASK
CHANGE OF ROUTE
Committees Want Alteration of
Proposed Route of Extension
of Donald Railroad

Committees of Cowiche citizens are
at work laboring with George Don
aid to bring about changes in the pro-
posed route through the Cowiche
country of the Donald railway extern
sion there. The Cowiche valley is anx-
ious for railway facilities and has be-
gun to feel that it is dependent upon
the steam rail extension of the Naches
route for such transportation as 1t is
to get 1t is the feeling. however,
that the interests of the land owners
require some changes in the route pro-
posed. One of the things objected to
is route which will cut diagonally
several of the existing ranches, cutting
them into two sections of three sides
each. 1t is also felt that the route is
planned too far to the north and will
be better and more satisfactory IL it
runs farther south. swinging up past
the store and does not sidetrack to too
great an extent, the so-called south
fork.
Land Owners in Session
The Cowiche property owners have
had several meetings and have select
ed several committees to meet with
others who it is believed are in a POI
sition to offer some relief, There are
great many thousands of cords OF
wood in the Cowche owned by the
ranchers, who are looking to the rail-
road as desirable means of transport
tation 1t is felt also that with the
development of the Tieton country the
southern route suggested will be ad-
vantageous as it will be nearer to n
large bearing acreage. 1t is felt also
that much of the development will be
handler to the southern route where
as the more northern route, as plan
ned, will neccssitate u considera BILE

how soon the Donald extension will
be made is not known but it Is the
hope of the ranchers that it will be
early and more I'm accordance with
their wishes.

More and Better Roads

The plan on which the county is
working means more and better roads
and these cost money. Next year the
county will need money with which to
carry on the work and the only way
to get it is to obtain an issue of bonds,
and to do this the people must know
more about the subject. Thus the
campaign is to be one Of education.
1t is expected that the plan viii be a
success in forwarding the movcm ent
for good roads.
Next year work will be laid out af-
ter the conferences are held with the
tax payers throughout the county. The
only work now planned for next year
is the finishing of small strips of a
quarter to a half mile connecting the
towns with completed trunk roads that
have been under construction this
year.
Several rock crushing plants and
road rollers will be added to the coun-
tvs equipment, so that complete
crushing and hauling outfits may be
stationed at or near Outlook, Zillah,
Naches, Ahtanum and Selah, these to
care for the work over the whole
county.

that they must continue to merit this
distinction, and they are going after
the subject more in earnest than ever
