w. L. Jones Confers With Recla-

on Tour to Ellensburg

Hon. Wesley L. Jones, who left
North Yakima Friday for Seattle to
visit his family, was unable to state at
the time of his departure just what
his plans will be. There is no ques-
tion," said Mr.. Jones, that l will be
very busy for the next month or two,
but no definite plans have as yet been
made. Naturally, l am anxious to see
the members of my family and will
afterward determine what program l
will follow"
Walla Walla business men anxious
for a conference with Senator Jones,
telephoned to North Yakima FRIDAY
morning to Alex Miller to ascertain
through him if a conference with
the senator was possible. Mr. Miller
replied that Senator Jones proposes to
make visit to Walla Walla at an
early date and that any matter not
important might wait until them.
Urgent business. he said, could be
taken up with the senator at any
time if a delegation met him at Sc
attic or arranged with him for a hur-
ny trip to Walla Walla.
Senator Jones, who left this city
Friday by automobile, to ride to Ell
lensburg, where he proposed to take
the Milwaukee for Seattle, was in con-
ference for an hour prior to his de-
parture with Supervising Engineer
Swigart of the reclamation service.
Afterwards he left by automobile for
the trip to Ellensburg, the object Of
the ride not being made public.

they will soon be coming unless the

On the contrary l favor organized,

survey of the fruit markets in great
number Of cities and sections con-
vinces me completely that our big

do not know how to distribute our

the number of steamers available and

Good Training Town
Just as the cattle and the hogs
proved this valley the best feeding
ground In the country, 30 did Starost
prove that this IL the best place in
which to train. He trotted in the 1880
race and won in the mud in the good
time of 2:1S " This race and victory,

- What Oregon Paper Says
OF the race the Portland Oregonian
had the following to say:
Five heats were required before
the $3.50 trot was decided and then no
horse took the three, heats. Lady Dill
Ion and Starost each took two heats,
while Oakland Moore gathered in one.
Both Starost and Oakland Moore were
entered from the stables of M. C. Gun
derson of Portland. Under the condi-
lions at this track the entries were al
lowed. BY the division Lady Dillon
was awarded second money.
Throughout the race was game.y
fought Starost, after taking the first
heat, dropped back to third in each Of
the two succeeding heats and was be-
ing forgotten as possible winner
when he turned loose with terrific
speed in the third heat and came in
with the money. Lady Dillon and
Starcot, however. gave the best heat
of the day In the fifth, and final heat
of this trot. 1t was a battle between
them along both stretches and any

There were six horses in the race.

BUSINESS IS GOOD
AND GETTING BETTER
c. L. Twohy Calls Attention to
Some of the Existing Condi.
tons in Yakima

Business" said C. L. Twohy, lis
much better in North Yakima this
week than it was last, and next week
it will be still better. Speaking from
the standpoint of a citizen and not
that of grower things look mighty
good to me right now and there does
not seem to be anything wrong ex-
cept the one fact that we cannot get
quite as much money for our fruit as
we had expected. On the other hand,
we are marketing a much larger crop
than ever before and the aggregate
of the returns will be geatly beyon /
that of any previous year.
There is another phase of the sit
uation however, which appeals to me
strongly. We have more laborers at
work, probably by three or four thou
sand, than we have ever had before
and they are all earning large money
and are spending it. Thousands upon
thousands of dollars are being placed
in circulation and the retailers gets
his opportunity for his harvest there
OF course, as | said, the grower is not
doing all that he had expected, per-
haps, but the money is being spent
for labor and the laborers are spend
ing it. Just look at this street and
remember what has been the case for
the past week. Our harvest Is q
huge one in every line, not fruit only.
Prices have not fixed themselves as
yet, but they will be remunerative As
President Farrell of the O.-W. r. & n
said, we are making business.
1--WE ought to be cheered If we are
not already. We are all doing we'll
some of us are doing better, and the
number of people employed and earn
ing money is away beyond the larges,
previous aggregate in our history. In
other words, we are growing. Yak
ina is all right"

TEST FOR
!, AUTOMOBILE STEEL
Factories Now Give Every Piece
Rigid Chemical
!. ss,e Analysis

The chemical test of steels has be-
come an important part in the man
ufacture of automobiles In the lab
oratory of the H. H. Franklin Mfg.
Co. at Syracuse, N. Y, over three hun
'dred pieces of steel are put through
q rigid chemical test every month.
Every piece Of steel that goes into the
Franklin car is chemically tested be-
fore 1t Is used. When the steel is re-
'cetved at the factory piece is sawed
on the end OF each bar and this piece
Is tested. The bar cannot be released
from the stock room until it's quality
has been approved by the chemistry
department.
r In the early days of automobile
manufacture wear and strain were
provided for and accidents were
guarded against by the making of the
metal parts so heavy as to be ridicu-
lous in the light of the present day
knowledge along these lines. Auto
mobile engineers cooperating with the
metallurgists in the steel mills have
brought about a gradual development
in the line of steels required to fulill
the rigid conditions created by the
automoblle INDUSTRY.
Special alloys and high grade steels
combining high tensile strength with
great dynadic qualities were demand
cd. The automobile has forced many
rennements in the methods of steel
manufacture, among others being the
electric furnace process and the maxi
Ing of low alloy steels by the cruel
bic process, both of which might have
evolved In the regular course of events
but which received a mighty impetus
from the demands of the automobile
manufacturers.
The automobile Is largely RESPONSE
bic for the great variety of carbon
steels now possible to secure, and for
the various nickel and chrome nickel
alloys. chrome vanadium and the spe
cial alloy, silicomanganese steel pro-
duced for springs.
r In the Franklin laboratory there are
at least fifteen different kinds of steel
tested. Among them are six grades
of carbon steel, two OF chrome vana.-
dunn steel, two nickel steels, two bah
bitt steels, one high manganese steel,
one manganese steel, and one
chrome silico- manganese steel.
The cars with which these chemical
tests are made is shown in one ex-
pertinent to determine the efficiency Of
carbonizing materials in connection
with the case hardening work which
required 500 analyses. In each anal
lysis ZOOS inch was pared from the steel
bar So exact was this work that liz
one instance after bar had beer
pared and had been handled by q
workman the analysis of the next par.
ing showed an increase in the amount
of carbon This was due to oil which
had attached itself to the steel from
the workman's hands. the amount o,
carbon, however. being infinitesimall,
small.
The steels are not the only part
of the Franklin which have to pass
rigid chemical test before releasec
from the stock room. Steel alloys
bearings, brass. bronze and aluminium
castings are also tested. The oil use,
in the Franklin motor is put through
chemical test as is gasoline, Will
every carload of coal used at tn,
Franklin factory must also pass an ex
animation.
