HOTEL FRUIT DISPLAY
ATTRACTS ATTENTION
Management of the Yakima Makes
Excellent Display of Pro-
ducts of Orchard

One of the best advertising fsa-
lures attempted in North Yakima for
a long time. and that, too, without
any attempt to advertise, is the fruit
display in the dining room of the Yak
ina hotel. The fruit is there because,
in the opinion of the management Of
the house, the product of the or
chards of Yakima ought to be avail
able for guests of the hotel. Another
reason is that Yakima produces the
quality and Manager Schroeder does
not propose to have any guest of his
leave Yakima during the season AMI
say that he was unable to become
acquainted with The orchard products
of this valley On a table, directly In
front of guests entering the dining
room, is splendid assortment OF
pears, peaches, apples and grapes,
with canteloupes, etc, and such near
fruits. The supply is maintained both
as to quantity and freshness as it de-
terioriates or is consumed the man
ager of the house dining room maxi
ing personal visits to the orchards to
procure his displays. The fruit A.
sortment is one of the features of tina
dining room and has attracted a great
deal of attention both from Yakima
residents who, are patrons of the
house and from guests in the city.

A JOINT EXHIBIT
FROM RESERVATION
Toppenish and Wapato Say They
Will Join Forces on State
Fair Display

Two more district exhibits IN the
horticultural department at the state
fa.-. are now under way, practically
assuring the best rounded list of dis
trict exhibits ever put into the pres
emit horticultural building.
Secretary Fuller of the Toppenish
Commercial club spent Monday in
North Yakima and made tentative
reservation of space for a joint ex-
hibit from the Yakima Indian reser-
walton, to be prepared and placed by
business men of Toppenish and Wap-

FINE CHANCE GIVEN
YAKIMA BEAR HUNTERS
Herder of Band Of Coffin Bros.
Sheep Reports Depredations
Made Upon His Lambs

/ Some man anxious to shoot bear,
or two bears, can do so If he will go
up the Nile valley to place where
H. Stanley Coffin has a band of sheep.
and slay the animals which are prey
ing there. Mr.. Coffin received a call
Monday from a herder, who is out
with the animals. He reported the
depredationS of the bears and threat
ened, unless assistance is given him
at once. that he will come out with
the sheep and not remain behind,
with the likelihood in favor of the
''varmints'' getting him by mistake.
The herder reports that each night
now for several nights the bear, or
bears rather, have come right in to
the bedding gounds and have carried
away two or three lambs. He has
been unable to see the animals but
has seen their tracks in the morning
and found out where they had taken
and eaten the lambs. Each night ne
has heard the commotion, where the
band was entered and the kill made,
but has found it impossible to discern
anything and therefore has been COM
PEELED to ask for assistance. The
chances are, now, that his needs have
been made known, that the herder
will have all the assistance he needs
as Yakima is filled with men anxious
TO kill bear.

STANDARD OIL PROSPERITY
The Stock Has Increased In Value
$500 Share

NEW YORK.-Indications are that
the aggregate net earnings of the
various Standard Oil companies in
the current year will run close to
$40, 100000. or 100000 in excess of
the previous high record. OF that
amount, perhaps $20,000,000 will be
used for the construction of rehneries,
vessels, pipe line extensions. Develop
meut work, etc, which would leave a
balance of about $90,000,000
When the United States supreme
court handed down its decree dis
solving the Standard Oil company,
Standard Oil of New Jersey was SELL
in the neighborhood of $500 a share,
comparing with the present quotation
of approximately $1120 a share.
In other words there has been an
appreciation of $500 a share. John
D. Rockefeller is credited with own
ing rs per cent of the shares of the
various Standard Oil companies, so
that there has been an appreciation
in his holding alone since dissolution
of $3.50, 100000.

WEDDING COUPLE FAIL
TO AVOID PUBLICITY
George c. Arrowsmith and Miss
Leila B. Galloway United in
Marriage Monday

Having laid their plans carefully to
fool their friends and not allow them
to know of their marriage until after
they had left the city George G. Ar
.rowsmith and Miss Leila B. Galloway
were themselves surprised. They had
even gone so far as to carefully keep
the record of their having obtained a
marriage license at the office of the
county auditor secret from newspaper
men until after the usual time for oh
tanning such information.
The principal facts in connection
with the romance in which two popu-
lar people figure prominently are as
follows: Miss Leila B. Galloway, a
clerk in the office of County Auditor
Newcomb, and George c. Arrowsmith,
holding a position of trust with the
Pacific Power & Light company, were
united in marriage at 2 o'clock Mon
day afternoon, at the home of Mrs.
Damon, No. 6, South Sixth street.
Judge E. 3. Preble, judge of superior
court, tied the knot which united the
happy couple in the presence of a
score of the mediate relatives and
friends of the contracting parties. The
ceremoney was followed by a wedding
luncheon, the tables being beautiful
with their tasty display Of viands and
decorations.
Instead of going to the depot to
board train No. on the Northern Pa
cific, Mr.. and Mrs. Arrowsmith went
in an auto to Selah in order to avoid
a demonstration by their friends They
were foiled in their attempt to thus
make their escape so easily, for two
autos filled with friends followed them
to Selah, acting as a bodyguard. Two
more friends boarded the train here
and tastefully decorated the berth
that had been secured by the groom
and the bride. In these decorations
old shoes, dolls and dolls clothes.
rice, etc., were conspicuous. When
Mr.. and Mrs. Arrowsmith reached
their car and saw what had been
done, they were compelled to ac-
knowledge that they received more
notoriety than they had bargained for,
and that the joke was on them.
The happy couple will visit on the
Sound and in Portland, Oregon, for
a couple of weeks, then return to
make their home in North Yakima.

STORES WILL CLOSE
ONE DAY OF FAIR
Such Is the Hope of Officers OF
Commission and of the Bust
ness Mems Association

Stores of North Yakima will PROB
ably be closed the entire day Tuesday
September "a, which will be yakima
Day at the state fair. President
Payne and Secretary Rider of the
Business Mems association are cir
culating a petition looking to the
closing of local business houses for
the entire day and are meeting with
a hearty reception. 1t has been the
desire in other years to close for a
half day, but the plan has not worked
well for various reasons. 1t is the
feeling this year that the entire day
can be given over to the clerks and
their families more readily than can
a half day be provided for. If, as
seems probable, the plan for closing
business on Tuesday goes through, the
stores will be kept open evenings the
balance of the week, beginning We'd
nesday. This will give visitors to the
city and to the fair an opportunity to
visit the Yakima business houses, get
acquainted with their character and
will also enable the proprietors to
reap some of the benefits to be de-
rived from the greater population
which the fair will bring here.
Already this year number of
clerks have addressed Secretary Aver
ill of the fair commission, expressing
the hope that cooperation between
the fair and the business houses will
be such that the entire day will he
banned for business. One clerk, a
woman, points out that the half day
does not work satisfactorily for the
reason that business runs up to /
o'clock at least and that after that
hour so much time is lost in prepar-
ing for the fair and getting there
that more than half the afternoon is
gone.

DISAGREE
As TO CAR SHORTAGE
One Expert Draws Parallel to
1907 Case; But Another
%3 Scouts the Idea

TACOMA, Sept. s.--Contradictory
information concerning probable
car shortage was received in Ia
coma yesterday.
Any shortage this year will be
only temporary, according to R. B.
Miller, traffic manager of the Ore
gon- Washington Railroad & Naviga-
ton company, who visited the city
Yesterday on his way to the Grays
Harbor country.
Predictions that the shortage will
be greater than that of 1907 are ex-
aggerated, l think" he said yester-
day afternoon. "Of course it largely
depends on the speed with which
the farmers move their crops. If
they are moved at once no stringency
will be felt at all; but If they are
moved piecemeal, as has been the
custom In the past, blockade will
be the result.
Cooperation VIII DO Away
cooperation between the ship
pers and the carriers will do away
with any shortage that might threat
EN- If the shippers will unload and
load their cars promptly, as we are
trying to get them to do, no one will
have to wait for his cars"
The immense crops all over the
United States and particularly in the
middle west we're assigned by Mr..
Miller as the cause for the present
heavy lumber market. Farmers who
have been holding off building fences
and new buildings, he said, on ac-
count of poor crops now feel that
they can afford some improvements
on account of this years crop, and
the result is an almost abnormal de-
mand for lumber. One other fac
tor, he said, in the Northwest mar
ket was the purchase by the O. & w.
a couple of months ago of 50,000,0 900
feet of timber to build new cars, the
largest single order ever placed in
the Northwest.
Worse Since 1907, He Says
A shortage only equaled by that
of October, 1907, is the confident pre-
diction of w. A. Garrett chairman of
the Association of Western Railways.
according to a report issued by him
and received in Tacoma railroad Of
fees yesterday.
THE indications are" says tho
report, ''that il the railways and
shippers do not begin active prepar-
ations at once they will be confronted
next october with the worst situa-
ton that has existed since October,
1907, just before the panic"
The prediction was based upon the
fact that the net car supply from
190S-11, inclusive, varied between the
third week of July and the third
week in October from $4,000 to
$4,000 cars. In July, 1912, the
surplus was $4,000 cars. Therefore
If the reduction in the available car
supply between July and October,
1912, be only equal to the smallest
reduction that has taken place in the
same period in any of the preced-
ing four years, there would be on
October % of this year a shortage Of
10000 cars, and If it be equal to the
greatest reduction of the period there
would be a shortage of 10000 cars.

HANFORD FARMERS
may BUY PROJECT
Proposition to Be Put to an Elec-
tion IL One of the Most
Vital Imaginable

Yakima land owners on the CO.
lumbia river near the Hanford coun-
try have vital interest in move
ment on foot there for the formation
of an irrigation district to take over
the Hanford project. This matter
was discussed some time ago and
then suddenly disappeared from no.
tice. Inquiry in North Yakima
brought out the answer that the
plan had died. That this was not
the case is revealed by the following
from the latest issue of the Hanford
Columbian:
"a w. Bash and J. c. Syfford for
the past week have been circulating a
paper throughout the valley securing
signatures of property holders which
will be presented to the county COM
missioners asking that an election be
called to vote on the question of
forming an irrigation district of the
lands under the Hanford project.
The petition has been signed by a
majority of the property holders and
, an election will undoubtedly be
called.
III Question Up Before
Several months ago officers of the
Hanford Irrigation & Power COM
pany, through Engineer Haney, put
the irrigation district up to the peo-
pie of the valley, but no action was
taken until NJ Bash came from New
York for the express purpose of en-
deavoring to organize such a dis
trict. The Hanford company says
they will never spend another dol
lar for improvements on the project
as it Is q losing proposition and it is
to relieve the depression that the
irrigation district has been proposed.
THE plan as proposed by Mr..
Bash Is to hold the election, vote
for the organization of the district,
then elect officers who will be en-
powered to negotiate with the stock
holders of the Hanford company for
the sale of the project Then If a
deal with the Hanford company, sat
isfactory to the all Is reached, bond
the district in the sum of the pur-
chase price and all will be smil-
: ing path of roses. II no agreement
can be reached then call another
election and disorganize the district
and we will be where we were at the
beginning. srH
Question for Owners
''Mr. Basins, or the Pacific Power
q Light company's or whose ever
plan it is, sounds good now and may
be the right step, but several stone
walls will have to be scaled before
the scheme can be consumated. If it
ever can be. 1t Is a question for
the property owners to figure out for
themselves. If they are satisfied
with the deal and the irrigation dis
trict scheme all we'll and good, but
If they are not then let them act on
their own initiative and not on the
word Of others"

WEST POSTS reward
FOR "BOOTlEGGERS"
Oregon Governor Will Pay 500
for Conviction in Each Case
Asks Marshal to Resign

PORTLAND, Ore, Sept. 9.---In
pursuit of his campaign against
"bootleggers," Governor West has is
sued proclamation posting a stand
ing reward of 500 for arrests and
convictions in such cases. and an
nouncing that recommendation
would be made to the next legisla-
ture for the Appropriation of funds
necessary for this purpose. There is
lack Of funds available for the pay
ment of such rewards at this time.
The governor has written to M. d
Davis, city marshal at Lebanon, de-
manding his resignation. Mr.. Davis
Informed the governor short time
ago that no blind pigs" were in
operation In Lebanon, and later the
governors special agents arrested
proprietors of seven places on
charges of blind pigging."
As to the movement on the part
of the governor against the ship
ment Of liquor into dry territory,
Portland officials of the express COM
.panies say that they have received
no formal communication from him
in regard to this matter, and that
such a question naturally will go to
the courts to be settled.
I'VE are required to accept for
transportation all goods offered ex-
cept those billed to points prohibited
by law said F. A. Korner, general
agent of the Great Northern Express
company. IF Governor West noti-
fies us that certain dry sections are
prohibited, all We would have to do
would be to notify the shippers that
the goods could not be transported.
1t would be up to him to take what
ever legal action might be necessary
In the case At present the only
places prohibited are the Indian res
ervations''
