Uncle Jimmy" Sherwood Tells
of His Experience in Attempt
ing to Homestead
THINKS THAT RAILROAD
NEVER TOOK A FRACTION
Friends Are Depending Upon Him
to Complete Homestead Entry
Begun Years Ago and Says He
Will Do 1t

Uncle Jimmy Sherwood was in
North Yakima Saturday on further
business in connection with the home.
stead land he claims in the Mabton
country. His partner, Mr.. Hall. had
made an effort to settle on the prop
erty but, as Mr. Sherwood said. "a
man emerged from house, presented
"a pistol at his head and asserted that
he would resist any effort of Hall to
occupy the premises. I have been to
the land office to ask what to do and
they say that settlement has practic-
ALLY been made. My partner having
gone on the property and been threat
ened. they tell me, has done all ia
that respect that can be required OF
him"
Railroad Received Patent
The land which Mr.. Sherwood
claims is a fraction of a section which
it is said was patented by the govern
ment to the Northern Pacific railway
Mr.. Sherwood claims that the rail-
road attorney, the omitted States laws
having given the railroad every alter
nate. unoccupied, odd numbered Sec
ton. and not fraction of a section, had
taken the full sections available. ''Ths
railroad attorney" he says, respect
ed the restrictions imposed upon him
in selecting the land by full sections
and he took from out the public do
main a full section in lieu of his frac-
ton on the north side of the Yakima
river, namely, 3S1 acres and eighty
two one hundredths and it is so chron-
icled in the archives OF the United
States in Washington. D. C. This
occurred June 1st, 1883.
Rifiemen on the Ground
q have lived on this land for two
years and five months under the
homestead laws and while dwelling on
the homestead attorneys and agents
of bank in Vermont which claimed
an interest in the land sent a wagon
load of rifiemen to my homestead
They broke into my enclosure and in
to my house and left word with the
United States mailcarrier Mr.. Van de
turned to the homestead he would be
shot on sight.
Now for the great secret, as DR.
Dodds said when he assembled the
scaffold, and he died manfully. 1 an
back here again to assert my right tc
my property and the administration al
Washington will see that there is fail
play. A wrong has been committed
and the friends of this old Black Bal
liner are depending upon him to see
lit righted."

HUNDRED CARS FROM co.
Fruit, Potatoes, Melons and On.

the Business Transacted

over two hundred thousand dol
/ lars We're paid out in 1911 in Yaki-
ma county by the Pacific Fruit &
Produce company for produce pur-
chased here this being inclusive OF
carload and express shipments. The
exact amount was s2e0,7I195. The
total mum Der of cars shipped for the
year was AIS, which is an excellent
showing as contrasted with the bus
mess of other years, particularly as
much of the produce was of higher
average value than that of preceding
seasons. Potatoes, as an example. at
the first of the year 1911, were sell
ing as high as s3S and $40 per ton.
Details of the Cars
he following detailed statement of
the car business of the company will
prove to be interesting to those who
desire to know the character OF the
business transacted and the magni-
tude of each department. The fig
ures are as follows:

a considerable proportion of the
straight carload business in potatoes
was done from Selah and with re-
gard to canteloupes and melons
large percentage was from wapato.
There was some melon and cantaloupe
business from Yakima. In carload
lots the potato production of the
Yakima Valley the past season was
greater than the fruit production by
perhaps couple of hundred cars 1t
will be noticed by the figures given
how near together in carload guam
titles the fruit and potato shipments
ran.

An Army of Experts Are Working
Day and Night to Restore
Portland Service
BIG SLEET STORM
DID GREAT DAMAGE
Phones Are Out by the Hundreds
and Thousands of Strands of
Broken Wires and Cables Are
Found All Over the City

PORTLAND. Jan. 1S.-Telephones
by the hundred are still out in
Portland. despite the efforts of a small
army of operators who are in the field
working from daylight until dark.
Many of the street arc lights are also
out of commission, but most of the
circuits spluttered internationally last
evening.
From all available points the Pa
cidc States Telephone Company has
been gathering experienced men to
straighten out the situation. Thirty
five cable splicers arrived from San
Francisco yesterday morning. and Sc
attic has sent every cable splicer it
could spare. but most of the Seattle
.ites are apprentices. These have
swelled the ranks of the regular crew
at Portland and all are being used in
the Portland district. AS for linemen,
there is not one in this territory who
is not working. The early part of
the week they were laboring day and
night at double pay. drawing down
more than 81 day. The splicers re-
.ceive SIS and their work is hard and
technical
Splicer Worked 81 Hours
For 81 hours cable splicer squat
ted in a manhole at East Thirty-sev-
enth street working on the maze of
strands which conferred in that par
ticular spot. Not once during that
long interval of day and night did the
splicer crawl out of the manhole for
rest His meals were brought to him
and the coffee was warmed over the
gasoline torch. Two assistants accom-
panied him. This is a sample of the
strenuous times the telephone people
have been having since the silver
thav. All told. there are moro than
$50 men in the field strengthening out
the service.
Good work has been done toward
restoring poles which crashed down
under the weight of sleet and ice. but
there are several score of poles to be
restored. a few poles went down on
Belmont street yesterday. carrying
carrying heavy cables and putting
some 800 phones out of commission.
1t will be week more before the tel
ephone service will be in shipshape.
as in addition to restoring the phones.
there are thousands OF dangling
strands of Wire which must be re-
moved. The electric company is also
getting back into form. The main
trouble the electric people have TO
meet at present is in restoring the
service wires, these being the wires
which carry juice into homes.
