TOPPENISH AFTER
STATE ROAD ON THE
RESERVATION SIDE

r. @. Page and A. G. Fleming of
Sunnyside left for Olympia on Sunday
to work against the efforts of Top
penish business men who are endeav-
oring to secure the state aid road
through the Yakima valley on the
reservation side of the river. It 10
pointed out that most of the taxpay-
ers reside on the east side of the
river in the Parker Bottom and Zil-
iah districts where a macademized
road has already been built. 1t is
said that Toppenish lobbyists have
raised considerable fund to be used
at Olympia toward the effecting Of
their design.

EARLY SETTLER SEES
WONDERFUL CHANGES
DURING FORTY YEARS

Albert Tjossem, manager of r. p.
Tjossen and Son, merchant millers Of
Ellensburg. was in North Yakima for
several days, stopping at the Tieton.
He is taking trip down the line as a
rest after hard years work. He
reports business good and says the
prospects are fine for the coming
year.
Mr.. Tjossen came through this
country first in 1877 when the sage
brush reigned supreme. His family
came from Omaha to San Francisco,
the trip taking nine days. After COM

OLD HOP YARD

The Highland Hop ranch, known
better perhaps as the Rankin ranch

The hops occupy 100 acres and the

ers have contracted for the wire and
poles. The property Is a portion Of
that to be planted to orchard by the
Yakima Orchards Securities company
and 1t is something like II or IS
years since George S. Rankin began
the cultivation of hops there. Several
other hop growers, 1t is reported, pro-
pose to pillow up their yal DIS this sea-
son, among others being the Wade
yards. The Wiley Bros, of Tampico.
have leased their yards for Ave years
to eastern parties.
No New Yards In Sight.
1t Is not probable that the coming

hood that new yards will be planted
and 1t Is known that some will 60 out
of cultivation and others out of exis-
tence. The acreage has been grad
ually decreasing for several years
past, the value of the land having in
creased to a point which made It Inn
practical TO produce hops thereon. es-
pecially at the prices that have been
prevailing. Practically all the yards
not previously plowed out were
under cultivation last year but the
aggregate was hardly half that of two
or three years ago when the total in
Yakima county was 1900 acres.
Expect High Prices.
There is a belief this spring that
the price this fall will run as high as
80 cents but this is speculation. The
last sales this year we're made at Is
cents. which was considerable ad-

FALLS LITTLE

Aviator McCurdy Forced to Drop
to Water When Only Ten
Miles From Havana.
TRIVIAL ACCIDENT TO

chine Successfully-Was on
Way From Key West to Ha-
vana-Will Try Again.

HAVANA, Jan. 30.-J A. ID. Nc
Curdy, a Canadian by birth, but now
affiliated with American aviators, set
q new record in over-the-water flights
covering nearly a hundred miles from
Key West to within ten miles of Ha-
vana. where ne was compelled to
drop into the sea. There he re-
manned. his biplane floated by pom
toons. until lifeboat from the tor
pedo destroyer Terry picked him up.
With victory almost within his
grasp. the accident. trivial in itself,
robbed McCurdy Of his almost won
title of conqueror Of the Florida wa
ters. A break in the small part Of
his engine ruptured the crank case,
stopping the escape Of lubricating oil,
necessitated McCurdy's descent. His
descent was made between the Pauld-
Ing and Terry. leaving the ships which
were about ten miles apart
Did Not Even Get Wet
When McCurdy observed that his
engine was not working right, he de-
scended gently to the water and the
pontoons floated him so we'll he did
not even get his feet wet. Terry's life
boat took him on and finally he was
taken aboard the Paulding. His areo-
plane. however. was badly injured be-
fore 1t was landed on board the Pauld-
ing.
While this work was going on the
Cuban flagship Hatuey arrived from
Havana, carrying President Gomez and
friends. She ran alongside the Pauld-
Ing and Gomez shouted congratula-
tons on the aviator's pluck and re-
greet at his misfortune. After an hours
delay the squadron started for Ha-
vana. entering the harbor few min
utes after 1 o'clock.
Will Try Il Again
After arriving in Havana, McCurdy
said: 1.-THE accident has only increased
my desire to effect the conquest Of
Florida Straits and I have the fullest
confidence I can do It. do not know
when I shall be able to make another
attempt but under such conditions as
prevailed today, am sure of sue
cess"
McCurdy was in the air exactly two
hours covering the estimated distance
OF S6 miles. Besides breaking all
over-the-water records, this Is the first
instance of any aeroplane flight en-
tirely out of sight Of land.

GARDENS ON THE VACANT LOTS
Miss JOntz Starts Plan to Help Out
Many Families.
GOVERNMENT FURNISHES SEED
Citizens Donate the Use of Lots and
Associated Charities Looks After
the Details Of the LO-
cation.

The Associated Charities is making ready
for its summer gardening, an innovation
introduced three years ago by Miss Ida V.
Jontz, secretary.
The charity furnishes ground and seeds
FOR worthy families who wish to raise veg
etables. The ground is donated by citizens
throughout the city, while the seeds are
furnished by the government, which makes
the plan possible.
Miss Jontz began rounding up the citizens
Monday morning who will donate the
sround for this purpose The difficulty,
she says, is in getting land which is in
close proximity 10 the homes of the per-
sons who wish TO cultivate it.
Last year we had more tnan 100 families
who made nice bit OF money In this way
said Miss Jontz From the way applica-
tions are coming in we will have more
thas year than last. which was the high
water mark. ] anticipate no difficulty ia
getting the land which was placed at our
disposal last season. And we wiz need It
