value! Oh, for the magnificent gifts
of a Rockefeller! What could we
not do for China, and Africa and In

pose. The commercial mind cannot

When the rich lands surrounding
North Yakima were thrown open for
settlement at nominal price it would
have been most unfortunate had ii
been possible for some rich man to
have bought them all. Thousands
who now have rich and beautiful
homes would have had nothing. and
the teeming city of North Yakima
would never have been. The very
existence of the church is due to her
| missionary enterprises. When she
loses that she becomes but a social

resuscitate a frozen man saved their
own lives as we'll as his. The mis-

Men, the time is ripe for action.
The spirit of God is moving upon
the minds of men. The manhood of
this country is aroused to united ac-
ton. The Men and Religion Forward
Movement is nationwide. 1t may,
and l believe will mean a great up
lift to the church. This movement is
of God. 1t could not be of Satan. For
no kingdom is at war against itself.
Let us grasp this opportunity. We
can help to give it trend, spirit, and
power. Following the organization of
this movement in North Yakima is to
come the Bulgin meeting. Men, let
us get back of this movement and
back of these meetings. Let us put
our time, our brains and our money
into them.
New occasions teach new duties;
Time makes ancient good uncouth,
They must upward still and onward,
Who would keep abreast of truth.
Lo, before us CLEAN her campfires;
We ourselves must Pilgrims be,

Through the desperate winter sea,
Nor attempt the futures portals.

ONE OF THE COMMON KIND

He hasn't much that he can call his
own
A humble home it is wherein he
dwells,
But love from out his window has not
flown,
And children's voices all the gloom
dispells;
He is not blessed with affluence and
wealth,
His name is not applauded on the
street,
But he has two strong arms and rug
ged health,
And holds that life has much for
him that's sweet
Rich tapestries do not adorn his
walls,
Nor costly furnishings therein hold
space,
But childish laughter echoes through
it's halls,
And he can kiss baby's upturned
face.
He tolls where wheels and hammers
hum and roar,
And earns his bread by labor's hon
est sweat;
But roses Irvine themselves above his
door,
Where peace and love alone are ever
met
He has no club to lure him off at
night
To gilded palaces whose Joys are
free,
But in the CHEEKY, blazing freight
He plays with little ones about his
knee.
He is no millionaire nor magnate
grim.
At banquet hall he never yet has
dined;
No great applause has ever greeted
him;
He's man--one of the common
kind.

POTATOES ARE
SELLING WE'LL
About Twenty-Five Dollars a Ton
Is the Best Actual Price Paid
In County
MANY REPORTS MADE
OF STRONGER FIGURES
These Are Based on Rumor Only
and Are Not Found to Stand
NEUTRALITY-SUSPICIOUS. Are on
the Rise

Twenty-Five dollars for potatoes is
as good as any producer can expect to
do at the present time. There have
been one or two special deals deals
made above that figure, the highest
price that the Herald has been able to
verify being $23 ton paid for spe-
cial lot to be used for a special pur-
pose. Reports have come to North
Yakima from various of the sub-val-
legs or from the lower valley telling
of higher figures paid but efforts to
verify these reports have failed. 1t Is
known that there is at least one deal
err who is operating in this county
who is talking big in his efforts to
prevent sales until he unloads stock
he has accumulated. One other deal
er who was in the some position has
already begun to unload.
Break Is Looked For
A break in the potato market is
looked for by several of the dealers
who say it will surely eventuate un-
less the roads become SO bad that
hauling is impossible, in which case
the supplies will be exhausted In the
larger centers and the price will adj
vance. A report from Seattle Mon
day which reached The Herald was to
the effect that stocks are accumulate
ing there and that several carloads
were in transit. Little buying has
been done locally for day or two and
the dealers report that they have no
especial incentive at this time to do
business.
There are no changes at all in the
Yakima market except that hogs are
lower all along the line. a reduction
of about half a cent per pound being
the magnitude of the latest drop But
ter, eggs and such things remain at
the previously-quoted figures. though
Seattle says that there has been a de-
cline there In both articles.
What Seattle Says
Seattle says that "As "A result of the
Generalization of the condensed milk
market and the closing OF several con-
densed milk plants In this state and
Oregon. the supply OF cream available
for butter has Increased 10 rapidly
that the price Of Washington cream
cry butter has dropped 2 cents per

cry butter was quoted today at 90

cents In cubes and SO cents in bricks.
Butter stocks have been accumulat-
ing for the past ten days.
THE Seattle butter market is now
one of the lowest in the United States.
Conditions such as exist here now have
ever been known by local jobbers.
The price is so low that Eastern but
ter cannot be brought in. The demand
is being supplied almost entirely with
washington creamery butter.
The price of eggs continues to de-
cline. Quotations went off another
cent, putting the market on a SS-cent
basis. The market has sagged Scents
in a week. and dealers are not pre-
pared to say that the bottom has vet
been reached. The warm weather has
materially increased the supply of
eggs and most jobbers believe that it
will now be impossible to check the
decline"
Apples and Oranges
One Yakima house has two carloa DIS
of apples to be sent out today for the
western part of the state and is ex-
pecting in a carload of oranges from
California The California oranges are
not likely to be good lot this year
owing to the freeze and it is reported
that some frost-bitten specimens have
already arrived here. The carload Ell

PAPERS SENT TO
JUDGE TEMPLET0N
Minot People Get Busy on
Normal School Matter
and Push Action.

Minot, N. D.. April 25.-The discov-
cry several days ago that no appeal
In the normal school case had been
filed at Bismarck and the further in
formation given about the papers ly-
ing in the office Of Clerk of Court
Hagen, awaiting c~ertif1cation by Judge
Templeton. came considerably as a
surprise to the people of Minot.
Even Attorney General Miller
thought at first that the appeal had
been filed. State superintendent L.
j. Taylor expressed himself as great
ly surprised when it was reported no
appeal had been filed at Bismarck.
1t did not take the attorneys for
the state long to get busy, however,
when they found II the situation.
Acting for Attorney General Miller.
John E. Greene last evening instruct
ed Clerk of Court Knute Hagen to
send the files in the normal case to-
gether with a certificate to Judge
Templeton at Grand Forks. and the
judge will rush them to Bismarck so
the appeal will be filed with the clerk
OF the supreme court. Judge Tenn
pleton merely certifies as to the rec
ord in the normal case. and the files
together with his certificate are sent
to the clerk Of the supreme court.
When this is done. Attorney Cen
eral Miller Is in position to move the
supreme court to have the Isl adj
vanced. 1t looks now as if there Is a
possibility of the case being heard at
Bismarck at a comparatively early
date.

BARLEY SEEDING
UNUSUALLY ACTIVE
Light Supply Has Forced
Masters to Use Low
Grade Barley.

Reports at hand of barley seeding
throughout the country intimate UNI
usual activity in the promoting OF
production of this grain. The situa-
ton is brought more in touch with
public sentiment through the high
prices ruling in this crop season. when
a product hat had sold in most years
at soc per bushel or below, than
from all other causes combined. The
crop of the country for this season
was below the usual but have no in.
years equally with most other grains.
In view of the low terminating quality
of the present crop, as shown by
practical test of brewers. there is
danger that in connection with the
cost of seed the new crop may again
be small in acreage. If such a situa-
ton comes on the suggestion Is that
a small crop in this country may
again be raised.
Receipts of barley in Minneapolis
We're but &c cars last week against 262
cars received in the corresponding

crate production. Receipts of barley
in Minneapolis have been nearly 49,

16, 100000 a year ago in the cores
ponding time. Prices during the past
week in Minneapolis ranged along
from SOC a bushrl for low grades up
to $3.50 for a good quality Of brew
ing barley. Owing to the small
amount Of the latter. that has come in
to the market masters have been
forced to use grain of low germinat-
ing quality as there was almost a to-
tai absence of the more favored stock

Steel corporation there We're few de-
velopments of importance or even
passing interest. Regarding steel and
iron conditions, a recognized trade au-
thority points to the heavy buying of
pig iron during the past week as a
Favorable sign. but this is largely neu-
tralized by the admission that orders
in the past fortnight have been be-
low expectations.

WARRANTS NO GOOD?
Minot Officials Want to Know If War.
rants are Worthless.

Minot, n. D., April 25.-Are $4,000
worth of special assessment warrants
held by the city of Minot worthless?
This is the question that the city
officials are asking as a result of in
formation in a letter from City Treas
urer w. L. Smell to Finance Commits
sioner Henry Byorum. which was read
at the meeting of the city commission
last evening.
These warrants cover street grading
assessments levied on certain lots in
Brooklyn addition. On many of these
lots, no taxes have been paid for
twenty years. and the claim Of the
city is in the nature of a second mort
gage. When these lots are sold for
taxes and the purchasers of the taxes
are given tax deeds, the special assess
ments are wiped out, and the city
loses the money.
Some Of the assessments were made
as far back as 1907. The warrants
are due and unpaid, and the city of.
ficials r wondering whether the city
will lose the money.
