OWNERS OF HORSES
ASKED TO COOPERATE
w. G.. Schroeder Asks Those Who
Possess Fine Stock of the Kind
to Assist in Flower Festival

Horse owners of North Yakima who
are interested in their animals and
who have public spirit sufficient to
lead them to participate in a public
celebration in which there is nothing
for them are to be asked to assist in
the flower festival set for the third
week Of this month. W. G. Schroeder,
manager of the Yakima hotel has
been placed in charge of the horse
feature of the proposed festival pa
rade He is given no funds with
which to carry on his work except
perhaps a small expense allowance if
any expense is attached.
Shctlands Are Promised
Mr.. Schroeder has already the
promise of a large number of Shet-
land ponies as participants in the pa
rade and has received further assur-
amce from a large number of young
men and women who own saddle
horses that they will organize for the
saddle section. HI wants more than
that, however. He desires to have a
number of horses led to halter. The
Milling company, the Cascade Lum-
Der company, the Brewery, the Yak
ina Grocery company and other con-
Germs own some pretty classy looking
draught animals and a number of the
ranchers adjacent to the city are in
possession of work horses which are
as good as any place can duplicate.
Nice Animals Available
Some of the livery stables have
finely matched teams and there are
many driving and saddle horses as
well as stock animals. 1t is the hope
of Mr. Schroeder that fair proper
ton of these owners can be induced
to take part in the parade and that
they will not wait for further notice,
but will accept this notice and volun-
teer cooperation. Mr.. Schroeder
points out that the movement is n
public one, that while t is small now
il is hoped that i'm wears to come it
will grow into something definite and
elaborate. and he wants the horsemen,
i'm whom he is specially interested, to
come to the front. even though the
notice is short, and establish in their
section of the parade a feature which
viii grow with the years and become
of itself as much of fixture and an
attraction as the blossoms are eX-
pected tc he.

CITY WILL NOW LOSE
TWO GOOD CITIZENS
Mr.. and Mrs. J. G. Gawler to Go
to New Mexico, Reclamation
Work Here Being Over

j. c. Gawler, United States fiscal
agent in connection with the Yakima
project of the reclamation service, has
been ordered to Elephant Butte, New
Mexico. He expects to leave North
Yakima before the end of the month
to take up his new work. Mr.. Gawler
has known for some time that the ap-
preaching completion of the work in
this section would necessitate his re-
moval to a new field. He considers
himself fortunate in his transfer to the
work on the Elephant Butte dam.
where $6,000.000 are being expended
and where the general conditions are
as desirable as are to be found under
any project now in hand. There is a
considerable colony of reclamation
people assembled there, among them
Mr.. Pomeroy, l., V. Charles and
others formerly of North Yakima.
Have Done Public Work
In the departure from this city of
Mr.. and Mrs. Gawler the city will lose
two citizens who have shown a great
Interest in public matters and who
have taken a willing hand in such
work as was to be carried forward in
a new and developing community
They have resided here for five and a
half years. or practically since the in
ception of the reclamation work here
by the federal government. They have
made many personal friends and
many of a public character in the
work they have undertaken for the
general good. Mr. Gawer has been
an active member of the Commercial
club and one of its officers for some
time past while Mrs. Gawler has been
president OF the Portia club, which is
one of the most energetic of the city
clubs composed of women, and is also
president of the Presidents Council
of the Womens clubs of the city
Both, therefore, have shown a wide
public interest and willingness to ac-
cept their fun share of the trials and
troubles of development, and both will
be sincerely missed personally and
publicly

MARCH IRRIGATION
WATER IMPOSSIBLE
Such Is Reply of Director Newell
of Reclamation Service to
Sunnyside Association

! March irrigation water for the lands
under the Sunnysde canal have been
denied by F. II. Newell, director Of
the reclamation service. He says in a
letter to the Sunnysde Water Users
association some things which must
prove of interest to all who are in
terested in the development of this
valley. 1t has a particular bearing on
the Tieton lands, where irrigation be-
gins on May 1, as the statement is
clearly made that the storage works
are established on the basis of the
present conditions. Mr. Newell in his
letter says:
Subject Is Considered
Careful consideration has been
given to the proposition that water be
furnished annually hereafter on March
LIST, to lands under the Sunnyside
project, to be used on orchards to hold
the fruit back and take up frost, to
bring forward the early planting, and
prevent loss of new alfalfa seeding
The theory has been advanced by a
few fruit growers, but the effective
ness of the scheme of March irrigation
has never been demonstrated. There
has been a small demand for water by
truck farmers for the growing of
special crops, but this would not ag-
gregate for the entire project more
than five second-feet in past years.
The greater portion of the garden crop
is not planted until well along in April.
Certain crops, such as young onions,
and few others might use the water
to. advantage at an earlier date, but
the nights are usually too cold and
there is too much danger from frost
to warrant the planting of ordinary
garden crops earlier than April 1st.
Some Reasons Against 1t
81. The cost of maintaining the
canal during March would be ex-
pensive
80. To make delivery to all laterals
under the canal, it would be necessary
to maintain a high water level and the
seepage would be as great during
March as in other months.
"3. Practically all fruit-growing
lands are covered by Washington Irri-
cation company contracts and many
have not subscribed for supplemental
water rights from the United States.
For these lands. the charges are
limited to 81 per acre, and the excess
cost of supplying water in March
would have to be borne by the govern
ment water right lands, which are not
fruit lands, and would not need the
water.
UpSctS Storage Plans
"A. The storage works We're planned
to furnish no water prior to April l.
Furnishing water in March would re-
dlce the ultimate area which can be
developed, and decrease the area ir-
rigable from the storage works, re-
sulting in the loss to the community
of a large area of irrigabe land which
could otherwise be irrigated
After careful consideration of the
proposition of supplying water in
March. it does not seem practicable or
necessary that the plan be adopted by
the United States for the Sunnysids
unit"

The Ross

Each man scowl of anger wore:
His sharpened pick each digger bore
Aloft, like some rude weapon keen
To Stay an enemy unseen:
'Da Boss!' cried one, with lifted head.
He cut da wage--he take ola bread"
Indifferent to evil eye
Or bitter speech. he passed them by:
He cast his orders to the crowd,
Nor deigned to note their curses loud.
"Da Boss" they muttered; "he YER
gran;
He t'ink he hol us in heem han;
The blast. All ready" Swiftly flew
To safety all the swarthy crew:
AS quick to rocks and holes they HE,
A ch1ld's white apron they espy,
A little, yellow, tousled head.
A frightened face-the color fed,
With sudden Shrek of terror wild
A work man leaps to save his child
But, from the earthquake of the blast
To shield her, someone dashes past.
"Da Boss! He smiles to hear their
tone:
"Oh, I've bambinnos' of my own.''

ADVICE FOR HOP GROWERS
Pruning Methods Responsible for
Weakness in the Roots

WASHINGTON, d. c.. April 8
Congressman Hawley, who took up
with the Bureau of Plant Industry
the matter of dying hop vines IN the
vicinity of McMinnville, has been adj
vised 1t is the opinion of experts of
the department that methods of prun-
ing are largely responsible for condi-
lions on the coast. The department
recommends as remedy the opening
of hills to ascertain the vitality of
plants, if the plant is not especially
strong. Prune lightly or not at all
where danger from the cold is past
Weaker hills should be left open and
pruned lightly or not at all

officials from their slumbers, so the
result was kept secret until morning.
Runor of Confession
one large able bodied rumor was in
circulation Friday that Mrs. Bertalon
had made a confession to Deputy
Sheriff Rightmire. The rumor was
lacking in one of the main elements
that give value to such report 1t

Early Thursday evening Mr.. Right
mire was sent for by the defendant.
He went. Mrs. Bertalon told him the
story Of the circumstances in con-

she had testified VIXEN on the witness
stand during the trial. There was no
confession.
In addition to the verdict of guilty

ITO the Honorable f. b. Preble,
judge of the superior court of Yakima
county, Washington: We, the under
signed jurors, petition your honor to
impose the shortest sentence possible
upon the defendant, Eva Bertalon.''

CONCDON DITCH NOW
READY FOR WATER
Eighty Thousand Dollars Spent in
Improvement and $4,000
More Are to Be Used

When Contractor Powell concludes
his work tonight on the Congdon
ditch, completing the work he had I'M
dertaken, the corporation shall have
expended $4,000 In repairs or rather
in reconstruction and there will re-
main 5000 feet of the ditch to be re-
constructed this fall. for which there
will be available at that time $4,000
The total of sos, 900 will give to the
1900 acres which are watered by the
canal the finest waterway of any ditch
company in the northwest and u
standard of construction has been set
which will be copiously followed as
time passes. 1t is expected that by
next week water will be flowing in
the canal, so that the Congdon ditch
company, though the land holders had
expected to go without water for a
part of the first of the irrigation sea-
son, will probably be the first in this
part of the valley distributing the ir-
riga ton necessity TO its patrons.
FIumc Is All Right
The flume in the upper part of the
canal has been carrying water for
some days now ana carrying ii SPLEEN

1 viii require a couple of days of time
to soak up the wood siphons at the
outlet of the Cowiche, but as the
siphons are of California redwood and
take up the water quickly. ii is alto
gether probable that the first of the
week Will see the canal carrying a
full head of water.
