have been informed, favorable to. if

the Yakima valley fruit should stanf
for quality. Select your dealer, agent
or association that you wish to handle
your fruit and advise them early so that
they may be able to arrange for the
proper handling, storing, and selling
OF your product to the best advantage
This is very important, and particu-
larly we wish to caution the apple
growers to arrange at once, locally IL
possible, If not elsewhere, for suffic-
lent storage for such of their crop as
may not be sold when harvested. If
lett to the last day you will surely
suffer.
do not rely for your information

paper articles, or upon outside infor-
nation peddled by those having no in
terest in the valley, or in you. ex-
cept to get your products on consign-
ment.
Consult your local agent or dealer
they are in better touch with the
markets than you can possibly be, and
have mutual interest in securing
the best results. &e
To the dealer and agent. We be-
lieve If the shipping interests could
get little closer together much could
De accomplished that would be of
benefit to yourselves, as well as to
the grower. Get together and talk
the situation over, and you will al
ways find the other fellow not as bad
as he looks at long distance. Above
all, do not be too hasty in cutting
prices. 1t is always easier to tear
down. but hard to build UP.
After careful review of the situa-
ton this committee feels that fully as
many alberta peaches can be mar
keted this season at a price that will
net the grower fair return as could
be. If the price were cut to where il
would not pay the growers a fair
profit. And the dealer or grower
that quotes out this fruit at a sacri-
flee price is doing himself and the
fruit interests of the valley a great
injustice.
To the Commercial club: We would
recommend that an earnest endeavor
be made to get the local dealers and
agents together in some mutual or
ganization that will tend to lessen the
misunderstanding sometimes existing
and in measure to regulate the dis
tribution. so that all would achieve
better results for themselves, and also
tor the grower; and until the large
fruit sections of the Northwest can
combine in a general selling plan the
marketing of the large crops will al

ARM0RY PLAN
AGAIN MOOTED
National Guard Companies Want
Their Own Home If the Ar
rangements Can Be Made
HAVE BEEN BURNED OUT
THREE TIMES AS TENANTS
Suggestion for an Auxiliary Com.
prised of Former Members Of
Local Company and Other
States Is Advanced

When the North Yakima compan-
les of the National Guard of WASH
ington lost equipment by fire Satur-
day night it was the third time, at
least, in the history of the Organise
ton that such a disaser had visited
the guard locally. In 1905 the old
Company e lost it's entire equipment
and again in 1910 when the guard
was using the Christian church as an
armory there was fire which caused
considerable loss to Company c and
destroyed the records of Company E.
The fire of Saturday night practically
destroyed the entire equipment Of both
companies.
Nation to Shoulder Burden
The loss will not fall on the COM
pany, in all probability, nor on the
state. The likelihood is that the con-
ditions, after being reported officially
will be met by the federal government
which will absolve the state and turn
over new outfit. The fire, in this
respect, means new equipment for the
local men, and it is some years since
such equipment has been provided.
the last time, in fact, being in 1905.
when everything was lost. From
Saturdays fire there was saved con-
siderable property in the way Of
overcoats and such things
Move for New Armory
1t is altogether probable that as a
result of this last fire the movement
for a new armory will take on fresh
life. 1t has long been felt that with
two companies here and with such
needs as this city can put up in the
way of a claim that an Armory can
be procured. The fact that the CON-
panies. are forced to be tenants and
to take all the risks that comm rcial
enterprises, whose home they occupy
take. means a greater certainty of
fire. This also means that the coma
panies are handicapped in many ways
in that there are things they are
prevented from undertaking which
would be possible if they had, an ler-
mory. sr.s,. "a ~.
Plan to Organize Guard
a There Is on foot a movement to or.
ganize an auxiliary to the. National
Guard in the form of a Veterans.
There are here now some 500 men
who have been members Of Company
f. in the days that have passed and
the city and adjacent countr, are
filed with men who have served in
the National Guard of other states,
Illinois, Iowa, Indiana, Wisconsin,
Michigan and New York being par
ticularly strongly represented. Such
an organization. also, would include
those of the civil war veterans as de-
cired to identify themselves with the
cause. .45
An Honorary Corps
1t is believed that membership of
a thousand can easily be built up
which would constitute in a sense an
honorary corps, the influence and en-
ergy of which would be a support to
the present companies in their work
as Guardsmen and the various other
things they would like to take up -
members OF this community Organizes
for its welfare.

Are Stocking Lakes

Yakima sportsmen and sportswomen
who fish the waters in the Keechelus
section of the state will be interested
in learning that trout are to be plant
ed at Lost Lake in the Cascades,
which is mile or two west of Elan
agan's mill on Lake Keechelus and
which, while it is up Roaring creek
has no visible outlet. This water, for
various reasons, has interested many
local people. Cut throat trout to the
number of $4,000 from the Spokane
hatchery are to be placed in various
other streams and lakes west of Gle
Elum. The fish will be transported
by wagon % miles into the
mountains.

try, west of Edmonton, but it might
be, as that is what they are doing on

Canadian Northern transcontinental
systems, which are rushing grades and

Four thousand laborers are at work

preparing for the rails on the first
named line. In addition, 40 steam
Ishovels two river boats and hundreds

tual work. say the job cannot be COM
pleted earlier than the fall of 1914,
and possibly not before the middle of
1915.
Difficult Task Ahead
Graders are now entering the most
difficult part of the task, the final
stretch of 210 miles, all of which is
along steep side hills, composed of
slippery mica clay. The engineers,
who planned the route through the
Yellowhead pass which makes other
transcontinental grades appear as If
they were plumbers. are now running
constituent that defies practically
every law known to railroad science,
and will keep the shovels busy for two
years after all the steel is laid
The nature of the ground between
the rail head and Fort George pre-
sents numerous problems in engineer
ing. The mica slides easily; in fact,
! in scores of instances 1t has been nee
essary to dig out the same places two
or three times. With a mountain of

IS
FEELING BETTER
Situation Is Frightening Every
Day in the Outlook for Mar
keting the Fruit Crop

The big thing in the Yakima mar
ket situation is that everybody is feel
ing better as each day passes. The
situation is Frightening constantly
and this applies particularly to the
fruit marketing. The disaster that
was freely predicted has not come
and it is now recognized that there
never was any reason for expecting it..
On the contrary fruit is going into
consumption at paying prices and
these prices appear to be constnatly
stiffening.
There Will Be a Rush
There will be rush in fruit. The
wet weather of last week cut out
three days of operations but did not
prolong the period over which the
fruit can be handled. AS a matter of
fact the working period was short
ened almost the length of time 1t
rained. This means that the peach
and prune crops will need to be
handled in the original time allotted
to them, minus the time deducted be-
cause of the weather. This, in turn
means that more packers and pick
ers will need to be employed 1t is
reported from the labor bureau men
that many workers are arriving and
that the labor situation is easier for
the time being.
Little Local Change
Apart from an Improvement in the
retail business as reported by the
grocers, butchers and other dealers,
there is no change in the local situa-
ton. There is no definite and es-
tablished market for hay or potatoes
and little is being said with regard
to fruit except that all that is offer
ing appears to be going into con-
| sumption There Is no change in the
| local meat situation Some live
hogs of excellent quality have sold
