MORE ROOM NEEDED
At MOB HILL SCHOOL
Residents Of the District Asked to
Meet Wednesday Evening to
Decide Upon Remodeling

1t has become necessary to make
additions to the Mob Hill school
The structure, on Grand
view avenue is a fine one, and when
built a few years ago was considered
h. be adequate but this is no. the
case. New families have moved into
the district and children have moved
into the families at a still faster rate.
The result is the building is now
overcrowded, "congested' according
to County School superintendent
Busch, and it has become necessary
to make other arrangements to care
for the children who will unquestion
ably present themselves this fall
when studies are resumed after the
summer vacation. Mr.. Busch was In
conference Saturday with Messrs.
French, Young and other directors
and taxpayers of the district. The
result is that a meeting has been
c-.iled in the school building for
evening at o'clock at
which the question of remod cling the
will be taken up the object
to be attained heng the addition of
two rooms to enable of a further div
ision of the classes of young people.
The development or the territry> west
of the city of North Yakima has been
remarkable and it is a certainty that
the time is rapidly approaching when
new school buildings will be required.

LAST LOT OF SpUDS
IN YAKIMA VALLEY
HAS BEEN MARKETED

Two carloads of potatoes, thought
to be the last, except perhaps small
lots left in the Yakima valley, were
marketed Saturday when ]. A. Breed
ing of the Selah sold to Mr.. Singer
of Seattle the last of his holdings at
$3S a ton. his price is several dol
lars below that paid a couple Of
weeks ago when potatoes sold at $40,
s42 and even $43 a ton. Mr. Breed
ing could have sold at that time at
a figure some four dollars higher
than he received Saturday but de-
clined, holding for an advance. This
advance, apparently, the market has
not justified for the figures have been
slackenng off for some days and the
sale of Saturday for what is perha ps
the final lot marks the situation.
Spuds have leen rolling westward
from eastern points in large quanti
ties for some time and this is the rea-
son of the lower figures

PEACHES WILL NEED
VERY HEAVY THINNING
Naches and Selah Valley and
North Yakima Trees Give
Indication of Fine Crop

Something more than hundred
per cent peach crop is at present GER
tain on the James H. Fraser ranch IN
the Naches. The crop is better than
100 per cent for the reason that It
will need to be thinned in order to
give the fruit an opportunity to prop
erly develop The Herald last night
saw one branch from the Fraser
orchard with 6 peaches in a distance
of twelve inches and another branch
had six peaches in nine inches. These
were picked at random in the Fraser
orchard by Deputy Horticultural In
spector Morrison, who says that the
entire orchard is in excellent shape
and carrying a splendid crop. He
says further that other tracts in the
same locality inspected by him show
good peach crops.
City Has a Crop
North Yakima itself is not a whit
behind the splendid Naches valley
however in peach production for II.
Fl. Wilcox of Lowther Wilcox &
Johnson yesterday had at his office a
peach branch foot long which had
smany peaches developing on it
as any ones trees can show. The
trees from which Mr.. Wilcox cut his
twigs are Crawfords which are grow
ing in his yard on South Fourth
street in this city. These instances
are but a few which come in daily
from all sections and all tending to
show that the peach crop will he SUI
perior to what had been anticipated.
Good Apple Outlook

who last year avcra ged % boxes Of
apples to the tree in his orchard of
red cheek pippins and who ran as
high as so boxes on one tree will this
year have a crop equally large, &C

expects to set an orchard record so
far as his own holding is concerned.
