TO THE VOTERS OF
SCHOOL DISTRICT NO. 3

\ special election has been called
for Saturday. September .. 1911,
at the public school building, polls
to be open from o'clock P. NJ. to
8 o'clock p. NJ, to determine whe-
Their or not the district shall issue
ueg7.iable coupon bonds. payable and

of issue. such bonds to be in the
aggregate sum of S90,000.0o. for
the purchase of q site for a high
scL1 an. the erection and furnish
ing of a high school building.
At a meeting of the voters of the
district held August 10. 1911 1. the
question of a site was definitely
settled and the board of directors in
structed to purchase blocks three
60 and four CA in Homestead adj
dition to Ellensburg. known as the
Hornbeck property. In order to
carry out the instructions of the
voters for the purchase OF the site
and the erection of the building 1t
is necessary to vote bonds of the
district.
Plans have been prepared for
high school building with aworking
capacity of 375 students, at an estl-
mated cost of s65 100000 for the
building alone.
The board of directors relize
probably better than anyone else
that some additional quarters for the
high school must he obtained The
ousrters that have been used up TO
this time have proven entirely too
small and the board nfl Jnted
with the very serious question as 10
how to dispose of the pupils that are
coming to the high school this year
until the new building will be ready,

loss the bonds are authorized at this
election it will be impossible to get
a building ready for occupancy even

c. T. STARR KILLED
BY FALLING OFF
HIS RIDING HORSE

&. f.. Starr, manager Of the BOS-
ton Washington Mining company,
was killed in the mountains at the
head of Fortune Creek, last Tues
day afternoon The accident hap
pened about o'clock, when Mr..
Starr, who was riding along "a rug
ged trail in company with four 9TH
ers. was seen to fall from his horse.
One of the party, who was riding
ahead. ran back TO his assistance
and reached him just as Mr.. Starr
was expiring. The body was taken
on a stretcher down the mountain,
a distance of about two and half
miles. to the Skookum Mining COM
pany's plant. From thence to Gle
Eum the trip was made by wagon,
and between and o'clock Wednes-
day morning the party arrived here.
Mr.. Starr came to Gle Elum about
four months ago to represent the
eastern investors in the Boston
Washington mining property in the
Swauk district, and for the past two
months he and Mrs. Starr have been
residing at the Hotel Central, in this
city Monday last. in company with
VIM. A. Robertson and E. Maycock,
business associates, Mr.. Starr went
with A. Elsner and two sons to in
ho n,,ickcilVar
critics near Fortune creek. Tuesday
noon they camped on the mountain
near the property and after dinner
all parties started down the rought
trail. They had gone but short
distance when Mr.. Starr rushed back
tc the camp to get his coat which
had been forgotten. 1t is thought
that the exertion due to his hurrying
up hill to the abandoned camp pro-
duced heart failure and that the at
tack came very soon after he had re-
mounted his horse and started on.
In falling his head struck rock and
large scalp wound was inflicted
on the back of the head.
Mr.. Starr was SO years of age.
and besides his wife, who is now at
Gle Elum has two sons, one at
Washington. d. c., and the other at
Winnipeg. Manitoba. The sons are
expected to arrive here today or to-
morrow. and soon after they arrive
they will leave with the body for
their former home in Nova Scotia

The board Of directors have no
desire to dictate to the people what
they shall DO about the matter, but
they take this means of urging all
voters to participate in this election
so that the matter of whether or not
we are to have a new high school
building shall be definitely settled.
The building is absolutely necessary.
The question is, will the people sup

to provide the needed facilities.

WHERE We STAND
ON THE HIGH LINE
CANAL PROPOSITION

We want no misunderstanding as
to the fact that this paper is UNI
gu. lifidely and hltfooted'y in favor
OF the construction Of the High Line
canal, and the Organization of the
ki,titas Reclamation Distric.. We
take this position because we are
firmly convinced that such course
il to the best interest of the whole
community. To turn down the pro-
T. sition will be to commit business
suicide. There is yet surplus and
excess water in the Yakima river
except during the low stages of the
river. and the cheapest storage pos
s;ble cen now be had from Lake

The live and wide-awake com
nunitics in the lower valleys are
going to take this water as soon as
they can got their plans arr ngcd.
There are several hundreds of thous-
ands of acres below needing this
water. Just at present the Kittitas
project can first get into shape to
use this water, and if this chance
goes by it will be everlastingly too
late so far as the people of kittit"s
are concerned. 1t is plain case
of now or never.
Organize the district at this first
election, permit the cost of acquiring
this water and building the canal TO
be determined. and then a vote can
he mad upon the question of bonding

not vote any debt and before any
can be incurred or bonds issued, an
election must be held on that pro-

Apple Trees. Apple trees should be

Straw or litter may be placed on the

Rabbits and mice may be kept from
injuring the trunks of trees by boxing
or by placing piece of galvanized
wire screen around the tree trunk and
covering it to the height of about
twenty inches. This will also prevent

to replace the trees after the rabbits

We recently received the following
clipping from a gentleman interested
in the lumber business and shows that
lumber is not the only thing that has
risen in price during the last ten
years. ''In 1900 farmer bought from
his retail dealer in Iowa bill of lum-
Der, for a small building, amounting to
about 5000 and paid for it by bring
ing in 600 bu. corn at Is cents bushel
In 1910 he had use for just such
another building and remembered that
he had his old bill which he hunted up,
thinking he would put one over the
the dealer by having this with him, as
he had been reading quite lot about
the lumber trust and the high cost of
everything. When he got to town he
went to the lumber yard and said,
Hello Bill, | want. to build another
COW barn just like the one | built in
1900 and will need just the same
amount and kind of lumber used then.
Have you got it?' 4 don't know,
said the retailer, have you a bill of
just what you want?' Yes, said the
farmer, lin fact have the same bill you
made out for me ten years ago.
Let's see it. Looks it over and says
yes, the same kind of stuff, but will
have to charge you about $4,000 more

WINTER PROTECTION
OF SMALL FRUITS


All our small fruits are benefited b,
some slight protection during the win.
ter. Strawberries are best protected
by covering with clean straw Or marsh
hay. This is done after the groune
has frozen solid enough to hold up team
and wagon. Good, clean straw or hay i:
thrown over the plants from four tt
six inches deep. 1t is a good plan tt
cover the plants lightly before heavy
frost, as this holds the foliage in better
shape during the winter. However
if this has been neglected.. it is Gus
tomary to cover to the full depth al
once. Strawberries are covered t.
prevent freezing and thawing during
the winter and early spring In dis
tricts where heavy fall of snow is
certain and where the snow remains
on all during the winter it is not sc
necessary to cover the plants. Some
times the straw is put on after the
first fall of snow. The objection tt
this, however, is that the rows are
hard to find, and the quantity of cover.
ing used is much increased. IN the
spring, as soon as the plants begin tt
make growth under the straw, i,
may be removed, either entirely from
the field; or, better, large part of ii
left between the rows ready to put
back in case of late spring frost, and
also to keep the fruit clean.
Raspberries. 1t is usually better to
protect raspberres over winter by
burying in the soil. However, in To-
cations where they are sure to be COW
cred with snow, this is not so import
ant. AS soon as the leaves are off in
the fall, the plants are tipped to the
ground and couple of shovelsful of
soil placed over them, enough to hold
the plants as near the ground as pos
sible. This is usually followed by
throwing a furrow on both sides of
the row of plants. In the spring the
soil is shaken off the plants, and they
soon straighten up. This work must
be done when there is no frost in the
stems, as they are easily broken.
Blackberries are also protected in this
way. 1t is usually better to tip the
plants to the north, if the rows run
north and south, as they straighten up
quicker in the spring when uncovered.
Grapes. are pruned In the
fall; usually half or two thirds of the
new growth is taken off-depending on
the system of training that is used,
and the plants are laid on the ground
and covered with earth in much the
same way as raspberries.
Currants and Gooseberries-Cur-
rants and gooseberries need very little,
if any, protection over winter. 1t is
