ILLINOIS ORCHARDS S.
DAMAGED BY BLIGHT
w. c. Hamilton Much Surprised
by Conditions - He Found
Them at His Home

w. c. Hamilton, nurseryman, has
returned to the city from a trip to
Illinois, where he went to see his aged
mother, who is very i'll but who was
in better health on his arrival at his
old home than he had expected.
Mr.. Hamilton reports that he was
greatly surprised at the condition In
which he found the old orchards Of
his former home section. They are
practically destroyed by the blight
which, as a matter of fact. has taken
practically everything except the ma
tive growth of timber. His father
old orchard, which was one of the
finest in the state has, Mr.. Hamilton
says, about disappeared and with it
so. many of the others that he had
great difficulty in realizing that he was
in a place he had known.
Corn Is Backward
The corn, MIR. Hamilton said, is very
backward and while. the stands are
excellent the fact is that the develop
ment was no better than that he found
right up against the Canadian border.
Sweet corn was somewhat stronger
than the field corn but neither was
anywhere like what one would expect
for the fourth of July. The trip west
ward was very tedious owing to the
fact that it was necessary to divert
by way of the Great Northern and the
cars were so crowded that berths were
not obtainable.

SEVERAL SHOPS FOLLOW
THE GENERAL MOVEMENT
indications From Increase Of
8uil6ng That Third Street Will
Have Mnre and More Of Bust
ness Activity

4 steady increase of business ac-
tivity toward Third street, on either
side of Yakima avenue, is noted by
those interested in the phenomena of
shifting activity, and is indicated by
Ia number of business changes either
already made or under way. The
cause Of the shifting is said to lie
partly in the construction and occu-
patton, first of the Masonic temple,
and second of the Federal building,
each one collecting number of inn
portant offices which were formerly
located farther west.
The Barnes-Woodin department
store, which now has, 90 feet of dis
play window on, Yakima avenue and
an, equal length on Third street, is
pne Of the important changes that
have come, and although not follow
ing the other buildings. has its share
in the drawing of traffic toward the
east.
Several Firms Move
A. M. Nevins cigar store, which is
now located at 1S South Second
street, is to be moved into the west
half of the store room in the Wilson
block at the southeast corner of Yak
ina and Third street. The front OF
the store is to be remodelled. and
two entrances provided.
The east half of the same store is
to be occupied by d. M. Grinnell OPP
Ftical company, which is now at 10
South Second street, in part of the
building occupied by the Larson Hard
ware store on the first floor.
Equipment of the hitherto vacant
portion of the Smithers building, at
412 East Yakima avenue, for the
Hazelwood, Dairy, is almost COM
pleted, the, electric wiring for the
motors and lights being practically
Installed. ~ f
Construction Of new garage on
land is to be finished in about a
month
Callahan in Masonic Temple
About September 1 the reorganized
Callahan company will open up on the
first floor of the Masonic Temple
bril,iing with stock similar to that
formerly carried in the store in the
Miller building.
Encrnaching on Residences
The tendency to enlarge the bust
ness district in the vicinity of Third
street is shown by the destruction of
IA stone and brick dwelling house for
he building of the new garage.
The three-story Coffin Rundstrom
furniture store, which at first seemed
10 be outxide. the stream of business
traffic, now seems to have the GEN.
ter Of activity coming closer to it all
tn. time. and the members of the firm
are cnrrespondingly pleased.
rile group of buildings including
the gnraGe Of the Yakima Auto Com
pany, and the Smithers building, have
ts,th been built in district which a
few YEARS ago seemed remote from
the rr,siness OF the city, are now with
IN two blocks of the heaviest traffic.
Ths PROPOSED combination office
building. social center and church
auditorium of the Congregational
church corporation, which is likely
70 be d consummation of the next few
years. would tend still further to es-
tablish the activity of the south
branch of Third street, as would also
the construction of a new hotel or the
reconstruction of the present structure
occupied by the Yakima.

THINKS SEI.AH VALLEY
OFFERS GOOD OPENING
Believes He Can Establish an In
dustry Here Which Will More
Than Maintain the High Repu-
tation of Yakima Fruit

T. ID. Kennerly of Baker. Ore. who
proposes to establish a distillery here
for the, Manufacture. OF brandies from
fruits is at the Commercial hotel He
is accompanied by II, r. Ferguson,
also of Baker. <& t't} wy.
'T ann ihere,h said AIR lSennerly,
for the next step in connection with
my intention. of locating a plant or
plants In this country. | have had a
couple OF sites suggested but have not
yet looked over the country with re-
ference to final selection, | have
various conditions | must provide FOR.
AS an example l desire to be near 20
fruit producing acreage to prevent
a long haul, but [ also want land
sufficiently reasonable in price to en-
able me to provide corral for hogs
near the distillery. Such land must be
so situated that 1t can be easily
drained | have been told that the Sc
lah will be splendid valley to ex-
anime.
VIII Have Several Plants
1T is our intention to build to suit
ourselves and to establish at the out
set one plant. Later we will construct
separate plants and scatter them
about in the various districts. 1t is
my intention to equip plant capable
of manufacturing 900 gallons OF
brandy dali This Will require ap-
'proximatey 1900 bushels OF fruit daily
and the waste from the distillery will,
figure. carry about $50 head Of hogs.
Easy transportation, for the loaded
fruit wagons Is also a consideration
and also easy access to fuel supply,
which in this country means to coal.
Whether we haul the fruit ourselves
or pay more for it and have the
growers haul, the transportation prob
lens remains an important one. I
have made no definite arrangements
for the removal of machinery etc.
want to leave all that until / know
just where | am at and what the con-
ditions here are.
What Will be Made
Peach, apricot, prune and two kinds
OF apple brandy will be made, one
from the cider and one from the po-
mace, / could use these cherries to
good advantage If prepared at this
time but that will have to 60 over
for another season. sec it we ought
to have a high quality output here
and do good for ourselves and the
growers
Mr.. Kennerly has letters from Col
lector Dunn OF Portland, and from
others testifying to the high quality
and other excellent characteristics OF
the output of his present plant and
he Is convinced that he can more than
maintain the reputation attained by
Yakima fruit.

Opening Heats of the Sprinting
Races Won by Americana in
4 Runaway Match

STOCKHOLM, July 6.--The glory
OF the opening Of the Olympic games
of 1912 should be divided between
Sweden and the United States. Swed-
EN- gets the lions share for the i'm
pressive stage setting she provided
for the contests, which with the nat
ural beauties of Stockholm and the
ceremonial with which the King in
augurated the meeting makes i'd BY
far the most memorable International
festival ever held.
American Sprinters Fast
Americas share of the honor is due
to the remarkable fashion in which
the brawny young men set to work on
the cinder path. They ran away with
heat after heat in the first rounds Of
the 100 and 500 meters: they outdid
the expectations of their trainers and
completely upset the calculations the
public had made. They left their
old-time British rivals far behind.
With five American sprinters, Drew.

and Patching, the South African, to
run 1he final 100 meters that event
may be written down for the United
States. With eight men out of IS to
compete in the semi-finals for the 500
meters, five Of whom won their re-
spective heats in the trials it would
seem as though the United States had
an excellent opportunity to annex
that also. Trainer Mike Murphys cup
of joy is full.
Lfppincott Smashes Record

ord by D. F. Lippincott, of the Uni
versity of Pennsylvania, in the six
teenth heat Of the 100 meters event
puts that runner in the hero class.
