THE HIGH COST OF

257 Commodities

WASHINGTON, July S.-The high
cost of living is no myth. An inves-
tigation by the bureau of labor of the

shows that wholesale prices then were
four per cent higher than in 1909
and 1.6 above the average of 1.6
above the average of 1907, which was
the year of highest prices since 1890
In view Of Canadian reciprocity the
discussion is an interesting item in
the bureaus report. as it shows that
wholesale prices on farm products
were 80 per cent higher in 1910 thar
in 1909. Wholesale prices in 1910
were 1871 per cent higher than in
1900; 46.7 per cent higher than il
1897 (Which was the year of lowest
prices between 1890 and 1870; 16.t

Arrangements Are to Be Made So
Than Contractors Can Under

Middle of September

Fifty thousand dollars, approx

Improvement work on the irrigation
ditch of the Yakima Valley Canal

that bids for this work will be called
for some time about the first of Aug

remembered that some $4,000 or
thereabout were expended tfi;

the improvements above indicated
are in addition thereto. Engineers
and surveyors have begun their work
of preparing data for the changes to
be made, which will consist, in the
main of concreting the ditch for a
distance of two miles, or HOPS feet
to be exact, from the Painted Rocks.
or the siphon to the old SCHUYLER
ranch.
Many Spring Improvements
Decided Improvements were made
in the canal this spring, though a
mistake or two were made which
ndd the eHect. until the proper rem
edy was supplied, of curtailing the
water supply in the early part Of the
season. The ditch, however, has
been working splendidly of late and
it is thought the trouble has been
overcome Based on the experience
gained this spring the additional con-
creting will be done in a different
manner and it is expected that when
the changes contemplated have been
mpleted the canal of the company
will be the best private canal in the
state and ranking with the govern
ment bitches in effectiveness and
permanency.
The idea in advertising for bids at
this time is to enable the contractor

tract to assem- bic his gravel and 9TH

FENCE RULING
Al OLYMPIA
Supreme Court Establishes Princi-
pie That Partition Fence Need
Not Be Legal Barrier
GENERAL STATE LAW is
OVERRULED BY EXCEPTION
Division Within a Common En-
closure Does Not Come Under
the Statute Which Requires
That Stock Be Fenced Out

Messrs. Hatfield and Holden, attor-
neys Of this city. have won decis-
ion in the supreme court of the
all ranchers as il has to do with the
laws governing fencing. The case
was that Of Thomas kobaNasht
against L. l. Strangewsy and has
been called the celery case. 1t was
suit for trespass brought by the
japanese because the stock owned
by StrangewaY had got in and de-
stroyed celery on land near Wapatp
He obtained verdict of $3.50 in the
court here and this verdict was up
held by the supreme court.
Question of Partition
An eighty acre tract was fenced
lawfully and had been divided into
two forties by pat.ton fence
which was not a legal fence. In one
forty Strangcway had his cattle ana
in the other the Japanese had his
celery. The cattle. going over or
through the partition fence. destroy
ed the celery. The argument was
based on whether the statute con-
templateG that a partition fence
should be legal fence. Messrs
Hatfield and Holden argued that adj
Joining proprietors within common
enclosure must maintain their stock
on their own premises. 1t was not
shown tlat Strangeway had built
half the partition fence and called
upon his neiChbor to complete his
half and Il was contended that the
situation was plain with regard to
the rcspons blity of StranGeway for
caring for his stock within his half
of the common enclosure.
l. New Ruling
Tn law n this state provides that
stock shall be fenced out rather than
fenced in, and the dec. sion or the
supreme court therefore makes It
clear that this does not apply to a
partition fence ana that the salute
did not contemplate that 2 partition
fence need be a lawful fence There
had been no decision in this state on
the question and the most recent rul-
ing applicable that the attorneys
could find was a case in Indiana de-
cided a quarter OF a century ago.
Floyd Hatfield argued the case be-
fore the supreme court in February
and tho decision was rendered july
g. The opinion has not been received
here as yet
