new CAR SERVICE
WILL AID GROWTH
South Mob Hill Section viii Bene.
fit by Plans Of the Street
Railway Company

Anticipating the Inauguration. on
ApUl LIST of the new car service on
the South Mob Hill line and as far
as the Wide Hollow junction develop
ment is already manifesting itself In
that section Of the valley. It now
looks as II the city influences would
extend farther in that direction than
In any other leading from this city
Already the car line does extend far
Their and after April 1st, with thirty
three cars each way daily to Wide
Hollow junction the community will
have better than a half hour service.
This will be altogether separate and
apart from the fifteen minute service
which will be maintained on tho
South Mob Hill, formerly the johnson
Corner line. A
Two cars will be added to the num-
Der already In service to meet the re-
qutrements and 1t is understood in
a general way that other new cars
have been ordered and will be here
ready for use when the growth Of
the companys business requires it.
1t may not be generally understood
but the conditions governing the
change of car service beginning with
April 1st are such that it is planned
that all cars will leave on their last
run at night from Yakima avenue and
Second street about 1880 p. m. This
extends the time of the last car con-
in some instances It is also
part of the plan that the first car
over the various runs Sunday morning
start an hour earlier than has hither-
to been the case.

There is no questioning the fact that
money was freely used in his cam
paign and used to purchase the place
for the man who is now attempting to
hold it. Money was the influence that
made it possible for this millionaire
lum herman to get the place he occu-
pies, but because of a loop-hole in the
law he is to be cleared on the charge
brought against him and given title
to the seat his money purchased in
direct violation of the spirit of the
law if not the letter of the law. The Ste
phenson case is closely allied to the
Lorimer case and both are dark
blotches upon the escutcheon of the

gives these men a clear title it is
making the best argument possible

California is preparing to spend the
sum of $1S,o0O,o0O for good roads i'm
provement and has the matter of To-
cation and routes in the hands of
commission. All towns in the line OF
the proposed extensions are rivals for
recognition in the matter Of location
There is a ciamor from the citizens,
each locality feeling the need and the
desirability of having an improved
highway touch that section and con-
meet them with the state system. The
increased cost and the extra burden
for construction and maintenance
have been lost sight of and the people
are looking for the benefits. This IS
true in every state or in every To-
cality where the good roads idea has
been properly understood and where
experience has demonstrated the val
ne OF such an improvement. Cali
fornia probably outclasses any other
state in the west in its road improve
ment and yet 1t cannot keep up with
| the demands of the people for extern
ssion of the system.

IMMENSE QUANTITY
OF SPRAY IS USED
Yakima Valley This Year Will
Consume Close to Ten Thous-
and Barrels of Spray

Six thousand barrels of Rex Spray
have already been used this season
and 1900 barrels Of the standard
spray Of the Yakima Fruit Products
company. Both plants according to
reports, are manufacturing up to the
limits of their capacity and at that
the demand has not been met. The
consumption of spray, in other words,
is in excess of what was anticipated
and Is also an evidence of the fact
that unusual care is being taken of
the orchards. The bulk Of the spray
Ing for this season, SO far as the lime
and sulphurs solution is concerned,
has been completed. Nevertheless
there remains a considerable acreage
yet to be covered and 1t Is altogether
probable that the consumption of
spray will be near to 10000 barrels.
Good Spraying Weather
Manager Remelin of the Yakima
Fruit Products company. says that rs
per cent of the spray. they manufac-
ture here is sent outside for use else
where. The work this season has been
q rush proposition all through. The
barrels alone, which are manufac-
tured here, have taken a great deal
of work and material. Figured at
$1.O0 for the container alone it will
readily be. seen that q great deal Of
money is locked up in the barrels.
The past three or four days have
been so fine and so free from wind
in this portion of the valley that the
ranches have been able to accomplish
great deal in the spraying line, the
machines working ahead without in
terruption and covering much wider
territory than otherwise would have
been the case. 1t is believed now that
the two plants, working to the limit
of their capacity, will be able to care
for the needs of their patrons for the
balance of the season. Before an
other season comes round it Is alto
gether probable that the Rex Spray
people will establish large storage
tanks or reserve supplies for the
greater needs that the new orchard
tracts will bring.

"Plant bee-hives in your orchard"
says e. P. Powell, land you have a
real cooperation between bees and
trees.
Il think the sunnyside Of an apple
orchard IL an ideal place for a coun-
try bee yard. This is desirable be-
cause it often rains during the BIOS
soming season, and If the bees are
housed far away they dare not venture
into the orchard, and the consequence
il that the honey is not made, nor are
the apple blossoms pollenized. You
must bear In mind that all this while
the bees are not only making honey
but making fruit by cross pollenising.
They will carry pollen from one va
riety to another on their bodies and
so perform delicate function for
which nature appointed them.
If your apiary is just in the cor
ner OF the orchard, they will dart out
between showers and do lot OF work
in spite of wet season. You will yet
full crop of fruit while your neigh
bors will get only meager returns. If
you are using plums and cherries for
illers in your orchard. they will also
serve the bees for honey and the bees
will serve them in the way of pollen.

CONSERVING FLOOD WATERS

Along with the very prevalent topic
of the conservation of natural re-
sources comes the thought of what
would be possible if the flood waters
of any of our rivers might be stored
and used to water the thirsty land in
seasons of great need. The eastern pa
pers are already filled with stories
of flood damages reaching into the
millions as the results OF the spring
freshets. 1t will be doubtless true that
IN the same territory during the crop
season that millions of dollars will be
lost because of the lack of moisture
for the crops.
The idea of conserving the flood
waters of the great streams of the
country is not a new one to the gov
eminent and engineers have had the
problems under investigation for
many years. and the data from these
observations have been placed on file
In the bureau of the geological sur
vey. One of these reports on file in
very. one of these reports covers
series of investigation and measure
ment of streams in the Ohio river
basin showing the loss of water in
the season of high water and the es-
timated cost of the construction of res
ervoirs for storing Of food water Of
Il bA Ia
river basin.
The engineers report covers the
cost of construction and location of
one hundred reservoir sites in the
Ohio basin which are designed to
catch and hold in storage the flood
waters that are annually going to
waste with the terrible losses that are
reported. The approximate cost Of
the acquisition and construction OF
this series of reservoirs was placed by
the report at 800, 100000, and to
Justify the expenditure of this i'm
mense sum the report made an esti-
mate of the heavy annual losses to
property throughout the valleys of the
streams in the Ohio basin and further
made an estimate Of the value of such
a conservation to the navigation of
these natural waterways.
The flood waters held In storage
could be released in such quantities
as would secure certain stage OF
water throughout the year and make
the river navigable for a tonnage not
now possible because Of the uncer,
tainty of the stage Of water and the,
shortened season.
This is another of the great prob
lens that this country will be solving
within the present century. Each of
the great river basins will be stud
led in turn and it's possibilities charted
and ultimately national improvement
will come about and this enormous
economic waste stopped. In the ultili-
cation of our rivers as inland water
ways the United States is far behind
the nations of Europe and has much
to learn in a study of the development
in these lines on that continent.

Farmers Lose by Contracts

LEWISTON, Ida.--Farmers of the
central Idaho country will shun the
preseason grain contracts according
to reports received from meetings OF
the farmers unions
This decision is due to the results
of the barley and timothy seed con-
tracts made early last year, which
caused losses to the farmers. Buyers
contracted from the seed crop at
prices ranging from s "a to 9 cents per
pound. The prices, however, reached
1871 cents.
Eighty per cent of the barley crop
was bought below S1.20, but those
who kept out of the early market
found keen bidders when the $40
offering was made.

In several of the provincial parlia-
ments in western Canada the reci-
procity idea is being discussed fav-
orable and feeling of restraint
shown over the action of the domin-
ion in rejecting the treaty. The people
of the western provinces feel the need
of having an outlet into the United
States and resent the fact that such
an outlet is impeded by the raising of
a high tariff wall. The whole prob
lem on reciprocity will have to be
resubmitted and again threshed out
both on this side and on that side
the border line. Freer trade Is a nee
essary part of that great movement
which is in progress for the lowering
of the high cost of living by per-
hitting food products the easiest ac-
cess possible from the places where
they are produced to the markets
created by the demand for consump-
ton.
