WINNIPEG MARKET

General Agent Burdick Receives
information Which Must In
terest Shippers

Word has been received by c. c..
Burdick, general agent of the North
ern Pacific railway, that beginning
May list his company will operate its
own trains with its own crews into
Winnipeg, Canada. This is matter
of considerable interest to shippers IN
various parts of the United States,
the fruit people of Yakima among
others, as it means that peaches and
such fruits started out from here over
the Northern Pacific for the Winni-
peg country will be handled by the
same railroad, terminal handling and
all, until delivered.
A number of years ago the North
ern Pacific railway came into possess
sion of 700 miles Of railroad in Cana
da, which 1t afterwards leased, the
country not then having the develop
ment which now promises, to the
Canada Northern railway. Now the
Northern Pacific is leasing back a
portion of its own line and by so do
ing gets into direct connection with
the Grand Trunk Pacific, the Canad-
ian Pacific and the Canada Northern
in the country through which they
operate and making arrangements
which will greatly facilitate such
business as Yakima people are in
tereSted in.

GRAy'S HARBOR MILLS
BEGIN TO RESUME
Impression Comes From Hoquiam
That the Backbone of the
Strike Is Broken

HOQUIAM, April 8.-The efforts Of
the Gray's Harbor mills to resume
work with full crews today, while I'M
successful, showed more hands at
work than the previous days, and 1t
was felt at Hoquiam the strike was
nearing the end. The crowd of strik-
ers surrounding the mill at Hoquiam
today was dispersed by the use of fire
hose and clubs in the hands of the
police. In Aberdeen the strikers are
not permitted.to hold parades or meet
ings. The attempt to tie up the large
Tacoma mill has failed completely.
The station men, who are working
with small contracts and therefore not
directly wage workers, were permitted
to resume work on the Canadian
Northern construction In British
Columbia today. They are on good
terms with the industrial workers.

him in this state.
LAFAYETTE, Ind, April S.-All
day long Colonel Roosevelt fought
hard for victory in tomorrow's presi-
Dental primary in Illinois. In his
opinion as he expressed it today, the
result of the fight will be of first i'm

MESSIAH" PlEASES
A LARGE AUDIENCE
Choral Society's Rendering of the
Great Oratorio Was Well
Received

y large audience Of North Yakima S
music loving people were present last
evening at Masonic Temple hall to
hear the rendition of the Messiah
given by the choral society. For two
hours and half the audience was
delighted with solos and choruses
splendidly rendered. The hall proved
to be very well adapted for musical
productions
The chorus numbered SO voices and
was under the able leadership of
Professor j. w. Lince. Mr.. Lince has
worked with interchangeable energy
to make the North Yakima Choral So
ciety success and the concert last
evening gave evidence of patient, wise,
and tactful leading. He deserves
great praise for his skillful direction
of the chorus.
The chorus responded to the di-
rector with a precision of attack and
delicacy of shading not always true of
large choruses and this gave interest
and life to the evenings enjoyment.
The spirit of the music increased as
the program advanced through the
evening. The chorus was well sup
ported by excellent piano work of
Miss Lorraine Griffin and Miss Fern
Lancaster. In the absence of Miss
Florence Scow, on account of illness,
Miss Lancaster was at the last mo-
ment called upon and responded with
excellent satisfaction. An orchestra
under the leadership Of Professor
Ottaino added much to the success Of
the chorus, especially since there was
no organ to accompany the singers
The solo parts We're taken by Mrs.
Otto Elder, Miss Ruth Markell. Mr..
La Rue Hewes of Seattle and DR.. c.
E. Keller.
Mr.. Hewes, formerly a member of
the Oberlin Glee club has a sweet
tenor voice and sustained his part IN
a highly creditable manner. He is a
young singer of much promise.
Miss Markell rendered the solo,
He Was Disposed and Rejected of
Mem with unusual feeling and fin
ish. This solo was. without doubt
the most effective and artistic of all
the solo work of the evening. The
audience was delighted as usual with
the singing of Mrs. Elder and Dr.
Keller.
The audience went away satisfied
and pleased with what they had
heard. 1t was repeatedly said that
the city should be proud of its choral
society. 1t has stood for high class
musical art and is deserving of the
most hearty support of all the people.

In Irrigation Practice in This State
Says Federal Expert J. o.
Jayne of Spokane
FINDS WEST SIDE FOLK
PREPARED TO EXPERIMENT
Congdon Ditch Construction
Marks New Era in the Making
Permanent of the Old Water
Ways and Canals

There is less uniformity in this
state in irrigation practice than in any
other branch of the farming business,
according to S. O. jayne of Spokane
who is conducting irrigation investiga-
tons under the office of experiment
stations of the United States Depart
ment of Agriculture, Mr.. Jayne points
out that in pruning, spraying and the
various other phases of orchard cul-
ture and in the general farm crop
work there is a good deal of a system
in the procedure, but that in irriga
ton no two men act alike and, there
fore, ii has been hard to procure gen.
eral rules. He said this in connection
with an answer he was making re-
garding complaints as to the short
ness of the irrigation season under
the Teton reclamation project as
compared with the seasons in other
districts.
Irrigation on West Side
'While water frequently could he
protitably used before May 1st," said
Mr.. Jayne, "it is not essential and it
Is rare that one finds irrigation prac-
ticed before that period, and it is also
rare that one sees irrigation in or
chard work after the close of Septem-
Der. As matter of fact | have on
countered but a few Instances of ir-
rigation late in September. 1t is
usually about the middle of the
month. 1t perhaps would be a good
thing sometimes if one could hood his
land just before the cold weather
comes, but then the average farmer
does not try that.
II have just been on the west side
of the state. AT Centralia the people
there, through their Chamber of Com
merce, are making an irrigation eX-
pertinent with a nine-acre tract, and
at several other places, notably neaI
Olympia and Tacoma, private inter
ests are developing irrigation projects
of their own. I expect to see quite q
bit of irrigation on the west side"
Congdon Ditch Work
Mr.. Jayne said that he has watched
with a good deal of interest the con
struction work in connection with the
Congdon ditch and he thinks that the
time is coming when the old bitches
as they need reconstruction will be
built on permanent basis, which, of
course, was not possible at their in
ception. He thinks that the Congdon
construction marks an era in irriga-
ton development.
Mr.. Jayne left Yakima last evening
for Grandview, where Mr. Broadie
who was with him last year in his ex-
periments, will be in charge again this
season.

CRISIS NOW
IN THE FLOOD
If Dykes Hold for Thirty-Six
Hours Longer Situation Will
Be Free From Danger
TALES OF SUFFERING
AMONG THE REFUGEES
Thousands Are Marooned in the
District Flooded and Hundreds
in Churches and Attics Escaped
the Waters by Scafolding

The crisis in the Mississippi valley
flood is imminent. The chief anxiety
centers in the situation south of
Memphis. If the dykes of Arkansas,
Mississippi and northern Louisiana
hold for another SO hours then the
valleys of the Delta and Yazoo south
of Memphis will be spared.
Stirring stories of refugees in the
upper Arkansas have reached Mem
phis. One thousand or more persons
marooned in Wyanoke. Ark, We're
brought here late yesterday afternoon
by Memphis citizens, who went to
Wyanoke to investigate the stories of
suffering. The reports We're verified
amply.
Refugees in a Church
In a church were found scores of
refugees. AS the water rose, the
refugees built a scaffolding with poles
and thus kept their heads above the
water. On the high ground and in
attics hundreds were found. Refugees
from the Modoc district south of Mem
phis said there had been some loss of
life in that section, but these reports
were unverified.
Estimates of damage vary greatly.
Many well informed persons say the
loss will reach $10,000,000. Thirty
fatalities are estimated to be a con-
sentative figure. There has been much
suffering among the home less The
situation in Memphis is rapidly as
Stunning the normal.
