CHANGERS WANT
BLUE SKY LAW
Pomona Branch Passes Resolution
Favoring Law Which Allen
Will Introduce

Following announcement of Senator
F. ]. Allen that he would introduce
such law, members of the Pomona
Grange have passed a resolution fav-
oring the adoption of the Kansas Blue
Sky law by the state of Washington
without any riders, amendments or
alterations except those necessary 20
make il the law of Washington instead
of Kansas.
Following is their resolution:
I'VE. the members of Pomona
Grange, No 10, of Yakima county
wish to publish the fact that.
Whereas, the existing laws Of our
state are such that it is practical for
fraudulent companies and dishonest
promoters to advertise and sell their
wildcat stocks and bonds and so-called
securities, and as the unloading OF
such worthless paper by misrepresent-
alton upon our people. is not only q
direct stealing of the innocent our
chaser's money. but is a great dis
within the state.
"And as the Farmers Union, the
Grange and other societies Of the
state have been for the past year or
more investigating the working
out of the so-called Blue Sky law of
the state of aknsas, and have found
that IL has proved q very effective
means of Kidding that state of this pest
in finance. and that the law as N
stands. after thorough test, has been
found effective and constitutional. and.
believing as we do IL is good policy
for state as far as possible to enact
similar laws, laws in harmony with
those of other states,
Therefore be it resolved, that we
insist that our representatives In the
next legislature of this state use every
means within their control to make
this so~called Blue Sky law of Kansas
our law, with only such changes as
will make it the law of the state ~
Washington, that no amendment or
o-called riders or iokers be allowed
to do away with its present efficiency.

NORTH YAKIMA IS GREATER
THAN IT'S PEOPLE THINK
It Sends Out Annually to Consum-
ers Very Large Quantity Of
Unusually High Class Products
for Distribution

Come here until 1 tell you two
things about North Yakima that you
probably hadn't realized said Fred
Thompson of the Thompson Fruit
company. do you know that for its
population North Yakima is probabl,
the heaviest freight producer of any
one railroad point in the Unite
States? And do you know that as re.
CARDS fruit this station, as shipper
probably leads any point in the know
world? Whether we have tie n
fluence that we ought to have becaus.
of our position is another matte,
which l will not discuss. / will leavs
that to those who are better at ar
argument. ! merely wished to cal
your attention to the fact.
Lumber Biggest Item
Now about this freight business
Naturally ave all think of fruit the
first thing, but lumber is probably the
heaviest freight or the largest tota
for the Cascade people are shipping
all the year around, Lots of people
will Immediately think of various
manufacturing towns and begin to re.
call what they are doing, but there
are few, towns the size of this that
have such plant as the Cascade mill
so we stall them off right there. Thief
we get out an enormous aggregate OF
hay, potatoes. hops, beer, wool, live
stock and various other products.
Some CLASSY Freight
Hops is a classy freight, paying
higher than does fruit, and that pays
nice figures to the railroad. AS much
hops cannot be loaded in car as car
be loaded in fruit, but usually this
bales run pretty high in value and
taken all in all, We are sending some.
thing out every month in the year an6
running into pretty high totals fol
any 12-month period. Whether the
incoming freight is proportionatei,
high is subject cannot talk on, bu
/ will venture the assertion that pei
capita we are doing as well as the mex
town of like magnitude, wherever i
may be.
Yakima Leads in Fruit
Now with regard to what I said
about this being the leading frui
shipping point of the world. If l an
not correct. what place leads US
Grand Junction, Colo, will probably
push very close race. but we ar,
ahead. You are probably trying tt
recall the name of some Californis
point, but you might as well give up
for you can't. California sends out al
enormous aggregate, but it goes from
many stations. Just remember those
two positive facts regarding NORTH
Yakima for boosting purposes wher
you need them

AWARD $4,000 N
MYERS DAMAGE SUIT
Jury Brings in Verdict for Death
Of Fireman in Wreck It
SelAh in 1910

In the first action for damages IN
the state to be tried under the federal
employers liability law the Jury in
the case of John B. Fogarty as admin
istrator for the estate of Frank Ed
ward Myers. deceased, against the
Northern Pacific railway for $4,000
damages for his death, brought in a
verdict Thursday morning for $4,000
damages. The suit was brought by
the administrator on behalf of the
widow and the son of the deceased
man and was agreed to- by IL OF the
1 IL jurors.
The suit was brought for the death
of Myers, who was a fireman on a
Northern Pacific locomotive, and who
was killed when the engine ran
through an open switch at Selah on
october "a, 1910.
The suit was brought under the
federal act of April %, 1908, passed
under the administration of President
Taft, after a previous act passed in
the administration of President Roose-
Welt had been pronounced unconstitu-
tional.
The three defenses usually set up IN
such cases, doctrine of fellow servant,
assumption of risk and contribut Dry
negligence, were practically set aside
in the law.
Must Show Neglect
In his instructions to the jury Judge
Thomas E. Grady pointed out that in
order to secure a verdict the plaintiff
must establish not only that he was
the administrator of the estate OF
Myers, that Myers was killed on the
date alleged. and that his widow and
child survived him, but that at the
time of his death he was in the EN-
ploy of the defendant: that the de-
PENDANT was engaged ia interstate
commerce and that his death was d.
rectly caused by the negligence of the
or insufficiency due to its engines, in
Its tracks or switches.
THE defendants first Affirmative
defense that the death of the deceased
was caused by his own negligence, is
not defense available to the defend
ant in this case to defeat recovery,
but you can consider it in arriving a,
the amount of damages for which the
plaintiff is entitled to a verdict. The
damages shall be diminished in pro-
portion to the amount OF negligence
attributable to the deceased.
"a wife and child have the right to
recover damages for the death of a
husband and father caused by the
negligence OF another independent OF
whether he has contributed anything
to their support
May Appeal Case
The case was conducted for the
plaintiff by William Thompson and by
H. ]. Snively, for the defendant by
Ira p. Englehart. 1t is probable that
the case will be appealed to the SUI
prem court. unless on hearing Of a
motion for appeal on the grounds of
excess damages the verdict of the Jury
is cut down sufficiently by the trial
Judge to satisfy the defendant

Evaporators and Canneries Are
the Great Need According to
Lloyd Carretson
BIG DEVELOPMENT CHANCE
FOR THIS VALLEY IS THERE
Does Not Hope for Any Great
Success of Theories Which
Have to Do With Different
Systems Of Marketing

Driers and canneries are the things
most needed by the fruit growers of
Yakima, according to Lloyd Garrett
son, who has just returned to the city
from winter spent in California The
time has come, according to the ideas
of Mr.. Garretson, in the development
of this valley, when the conditions
governing the fruit business require
the elimination, to as great an extent
as is possible of the waste fruit of
the orchards. The drier and the can
merry, properly handled, will take care
of large quantity of the fruit now
a dead loss and will add materially
to the wealth of this community.
What the Valley Wants
1--WE have got" says Mr. Garretson,
ito learn something new and apply
it. We have people come along who
are going to teach us something new
about the marketing business, but
that is field in which we have
sought hard for something new and
have not found it. Individual initia-
tive takes advantage of new markets
and the facilities for reaching new
markets do not long lie idle If the
But the drier and the cannery, start
ed on small scale but in such a
manner that they can grow, will be
something new here.
What 1t Doesn't Want
I'VE don't want to get in on I'M
dertakings so large that we cannot
swing them. We don't want to .es-
tablish plants that have capacity in
excess of the fruit we have to offer
and which must of necessity lie idle a
great portion of the year and be un-
liable to run to their capacity even at
the Height of the fruit season. But
we want an industry that can start
with some hope of euccess and grow
to the needs and the possibilities. The
drying or evaporating plants are the
best thing. Personally / think 1t is
too late now to do anything with
them for the present year, for it takes
time to get the right people, but the
idea ought to be agitated and in time
We will get round to such develop
nent, which Is a proper development
and one that will be helpful"
Great Boosters In South
Mr.. Garretson says there is nothing
with reference to the south that Is
unusual. He found there lot of reo-
pie who do not do much "squealing'
but who the most consistent boosters
he has ever met. If anything goes
wrong or times slow up they adjust
themselves as speedily as possible, do
not indulge In bowling, but continue
Ito carry on their affairs and devel-
opment as ably as possible In a
cheerful manner and without losing
time in vain regrets and wailings
Mr.. Garretson, in other words, had a
good time in the south, enjoying him
lself, likes the people and thinks that
California Is fine state. But he has
returned to Yakima and is in the
harness here, which fact. he says,
speaks for itself.

ABERDEEN, June 24.-The split in
