Grandview and Good Roads

The sentiment of the great majo~-
ity of the farmers and townspeople
of Grandview and vicinity on the
question of bonding the county for
roads. and also on the matter of bet
ter local self-government, found ex-
preston Monday night in no uncer-
tain sound at a meeting of some two
hundred and fifty voters that packed
the high school auditorium to over
flowing. The scheme of bonding
Yakima county for a million dollars,
and placing the expenditure of this
money in the hands of self-appointed
local committees was shown up IN
proper fashion and the scheme was
denounced by a vote of approx
mately 220 to Z. And by their vote
on this resolution and their enthusi-
astic applause of the speakers of the
evening the people of GrandvieW
plainly showed that they seek a
remedy for road conditions through
better local government and not
by putting more money into the hands
of our unwieldly and unrepresenta-
tive government of Yakima county.

SUCCESS PREDICTED
FOR MABTOM SHOW
Exhibit From Show Will Be Sc.
lected for Display at North
Yakima Fair

A fruit and vegetable show will be
held at Mabton on September 20 and
Fl, under the auspices Of the Nab
ton Commercial club. The club wishes
to show the Mabton people and their
neighbours what is being done on the
new lands tributary to Mabton. Most
of these lands have only had the
benefit of irrigation for three or four
years, in fact many of them are be-
ing improved for the first time this
year, but in spite Of this, great va
riety of produce is being grown, most
Of which has done remarkably we'll.
Within a four-mile circle, with
Mabton as a center, there are 5000
acres in alfalfa and about 1900 acres
of commercial orchards, some of
which are producing this year for the
first time.
1t is hoped that the ranchers in
this vicinity will make an effort to
make this first fair a success by
bringing in their produce for display,
as it is the intention Of the club to
continue the fair each year. Pres
ent Indications are for q very success
full show In all departments.
The commercial club will select an
exhibit from the Mabton fair for dis
play the following week at North
Yakima at the state fair.

Too Late for This Year

Harry II. Collier of Tacoma, lieu
tenant governor elect, as his friends
say, was in North Yakima Monday on
his way to Mabton and other sections
of the valley on business connected
with the poultry department of the
state fair of which he is superinten-
dent. Aaron F. Linse, in behalf of
the Yakima Poultry association, made
a request of Mr.. Collier that chicken
fanciers be permitted to take their
birds to the fair grounds Monday
morning. The entries close Friday
night before the fair and many people
who are unable to bring in their
birds on Saturday, decline to do SO on
Sunday and Monday. Mr.. Collier said
it is too late this year to make a
change, but he said that the condi-
lions will be all ready early Saturday
morning so that it will not be neces-
sary to keep the birds in the crates
in which they are shipped to the fair.
Birds sent in Saturday will be taken
care of at once and he asks the Yak
ina fanciers to make an effort to get
in with their birds. Another year, he
says, the rules will be cared for n
the interests of the local exhibitors.

She Had Gone Before

julius Kahn, of San Francisco, was
at one time on the stage with Booth
and Barrett, but later he went into
politics, had himself elected to con-
gress and developed a sense of hui
NOR to contrast with the tragedy
roles he played in the theatres.
One morning he went into coun-
try hotel in California and gave his
order for breakfast to a waitress who
seemed utterly Indifferent as to
whether he got food or starved to
death. She kept him waiting a long
time, and his impatience grew until
he had to vent. BID
Calling a waitress who passed his
table, he said
How long have you been here?"
who, me?" she asked sweetly.
I've been here three weeks"
"Then," said Kahn, you're not the
one who took my order. That one

STEEL MILLS FAIL
TO KEEP UP ORDERS
Pressure of Shipments Continues
and Demand Causes Increase
in Prices

NEW YORK, Sept 16.-The princi-
pal feature of interest in the steel
trade continues to be the pressure for
shipments on contracts and some OF
the mills are falling further behind in
deliveries.
Specifications continue to permit the
mills to operate at full capacity, but
there is an inadequate supply of semi
finished steel to meet the demand.
The largest interests purchased 10000
tons of billets In the open market at
an advance of 81 ton or more, and
prices are still tending upward
The active demand for black and
galvanized sheets precipitated an ad-
vance Of 50 ton on black and So a
ton on galvanized. and additional large
sales of boiler tubes and wrought
steel pipe prompted revision In
schedules with an advance of from ~
to 81 per ton on some sizes.
Railroad orders for equipment were
light

come in for that purpose, If plenti-
