TITLE TO LANDS TO
REMAIN IN GOVERNMENT
Aim of the Government in Re-
tanning Title Is to Insure to
Consumers an Abundant Sup
DIV of Fuel at Fair Price

WASHINGTON, Aug. 9.-Secretary
Fisher has a plan to allot government
coal lands to cities, which in turn may
operate them under certain regula-
tons to supply municipal needs as
well as those of the citizens as the
first step In his plan. The secretary
has recommended to congress that it
pass a bill granting $40 acres of coal
land to the city of Grand Junction,
Colo, and meanwhile the interior de-
partment has Withdrawn from entry
the land the city desires, cities in
Wyoming, Colorado, Montana and
other public land states west of the
Missouri river would be most vitality
affected by Secretary Fishers plan.
Title in the Government
The secretary believes any patents
granted to cities should be safe
guarded by the provision that the
title shall revert to the government If
any city or town to which coal land
shall be patented shall fail to perform
any condition of the patent.
Secretary Fisher maintains that the
aim of the federal government with
respect to coal land is to insure for
the public an abundant supply al
prices which will yield fair return
and no more upon the capital invested
in the mining and handling of coal
He favors the leasing plan, so that by
retaining title to the property the
government can prevent the public
being extorted. 4

AGGREGATE OF THE DEAL
THIRTY-SIX THOUSAND
Messrs. Prior and Agor Dispose of
Animals They Had Intended
Shipping Eastward at Close of
This Month

: Nine thousand head of Yakima
sheep intended for the Chicago mar
ket will not go there for they have
been contracted for by Ellis Ragan Of
this city, representing Fry & Company
of Seattle. The sheep are bands own
ed by Peter Agor and George Prior &
Son and it was the intention of the
owners to have shipped east at the
close of this month to again try the
Chicago market 1t will be remem-
bered that both these breeders par
|ticipated in a shipment Just sold on
the Chicago market when top prices
were maintained. Mr. Ragan, how
ever, has had his eyes on what were
left and it was announced Saturday
that he had contracted to purchase,
paying $500 a head for the sheep and
taking everything in the bands. This
price is not as good as was obtained
in, Chicago but may he as good as
what would be obtained there later.
At any rate it is a good price for
Yakima and is satisfactory to all con-
cerned.
Mr.. Ragan said Saturday that con-
ditions are looking good for the local
dealers and growers. 1t may be, he
said, that there will be slight slump
in prices but he does not anticipate
|ans serious change in the market.
There is nothing whatever doing, he
said in connection with the cattle end
of the live stock market and few in
|sight to be negotiated for.

LACK OF CONFIDENCE
IN THEIR SUPERIORS
DEMORALIZES POLICE
Devery Says There Is Absence of Dis.
cipline-Toughs Have Their Way

NEW YORK, Aug. 10.--Lack of
confidence in their superiors and the
absence of discipline are the reasons
for the decentralization of the New
York police department, according to
William S. Devery, who was called
by Mayor Van Wyck "the best chief
of police New York eyer had"
"You can't blame the boys much"
said the former chief in an interview
published here today. They dom
know where they're at Some are
pulling them one way and someone
else is hauling them in the opposite
direction. What's the result? They
don't get anywhere. 1t is not like
the old days. No one stands behind
the men now and they're afraid to
make a move. @
"If they go out and beat up the
toughs they get the worst of it down
town. These gunner are only the
development of the old crooks, the
great increase in population adding
to them in all parts of the city.
1.-THE first thing to be done is to re-
store confidence. Once that is done,
the policemen will go ahead and do
business the way they ought to-"

lished as of interest in order to clear
the matter.
The statute law provides that 'in

precincts having voting population
of $50 or more, who are entitled to
the right of suffrage as shown by the
number of votes cast at the preced-
ing general election, there shall be
general or municipal elections, az
herein provided"

and towns within Yakima county, AS
follows. North Yakima az precinctsl,
Yakima City, Sunnyside (two pre-
cincts), Mabton, Toppenish( two pre-
cincts) Wapato, Granger, Grandview
and Zillah According to law the
voters in the foregoing named cities

PROSPECTS NEVER BETTER
AS REGARDS THE YIELD
Yakima Bearing Acreage is 1900
Acres and Yield Will Be the
Best for Area County Has Ever
Known 'a

Yakima county hop growers are
now convinced that the vines in the
yards in this county will yield this
year $4,000 bales or close to it. The
estimate is that there are 1900 acres
which can be declared to be full bear
ing and there is no question whatever,
at this time, that the yield will be
greater than the county has ever be-
fore had for the same acreage. Last
year all the growers made good
money, they got to have a kindly
feeling toward their hop acreage
which they had not enjoyed for sew
eral years and as an expression of
their gratitude they heavily fortified
their yards. Some purchased COM
imercial fertilizer and some used
barnyard manure and some used both
but nearly all used something and as
a result they are getting the returns
this year in as fine a yield of hops
as the county has ever Known, as
stated before. for the same acreage.
Picking Soon to Begin
Hop picking will begin about the
end of this month and when it does
there will be something doing. There
will be 6,400 pickers engaged when
the harvest Is at its height This is
probably more pickers than will be
obtained but figuring another way,
and figures are always definite, the
growers can get along all right with
"a smaller force. Figuring the crop
at $4,000 boxes and the pickers being
good for two boxes day and allow
ing 81 days in which to harvest the
crop something like 3,400 pickers will
suffice. These are interesting totals.
The prospects, of course, are that the
picking season will be longer than
three weeks and that the number en-
gagged at the work will run close to
three thousand. The peach picking
will begin about the time the hop
picking is in full swing and between
the two there will be something doing
in Yakima county.

President Signs Bill Which Enable,
Patent to Issue in Three Years
to Reclamation Settlers

That homesteaders under govern
ment reclamation projects will be able
to obtain title to their land in three
years, instead of waiting for ten
years, is the word contained in q
message which reached North Yaki-
ma Saturday from Washington. The
message was to the effect that Presi-
dent Taft had signed a bill which en-
ables settlers to procure patents and
water right certificates in three years
instead of waiting for ten years as
was the previous requirement. An
|other phase of the new law, it is re-
ported. is that it prevents the holding
of undeveloped land, under reclama-
ton projects, for speculative purposes
but that condition has been pretty well
met by existing regulations.
Are Waiting TO Hear
Local people are waiting with a
great deal of interest for copy of
the law that they may study its terms.
The telegram does not make clear the
situation. Messrs. H. Y. Saint regis
ter of the land office here and Ralph
Williamson, attorney who were
spoken to Saturday regarding the new
bill, both declared that it must. of
necessity refer to public land under
reclamation projects but just what the
particular measure was neither knew.
| Legislation which Senator Borah has
been seeking for some time to
achieve.

W who will make her bow to the elite Of

ing. Miss Andrews is the most inter-

/ fection for friends who are autoists

/ result, while natural, is said to have
created a rivalry between Vincent As
