CAR IS OVERTURNED
N IRRIGATION DITCH
Occupants Are Buried in the Wa
ter But Escape Any Real
Injury From Accident

One of the most remarkable auto
bile accidents that the people of Yaki-
ma have heard of for some time was
that of Sunday In which a machine
turned bottom up In the irrigation
ditch east of Naches city where the
roadway makes a sharp turn for the
bridge. Cash Scott, George Becker
and the Misses Ruth Granger, venessa
Warranger and Alice Steward were
the members Of the party and one of
the young ladies was at the helm. The
car, running slowly. refused to turn at
the bridge, ran along the edge Of the
ditch few feet and then turned up
side down. All the occupants Of the
machine were thrown into the water
and buried there but fortunately they
were also thrown clear of the car and
the rescue which was at hand. from
other automobile parties WAS not
needed Persons in the cars directly
behind declare that those III the
wrecked car were out of sight for a
time. Parties which returned later and
found the wrecked ear upside down in
the ditch were much perturbed, be-
lieving someone was under it.

BUSINESS NOT EFFECTED
Mr.. Payne, Visiting the East, Finds
Campaign Not Disturbing

c. A. Payne, superintendent Of the
Mckee public schools, returned from
his vacation Monday Mr.. Payne Wis.,
tied in Wisconsin, Ohio. New York,
Pennsylvania and New Jersey. He
found excellent crops in all sections.
particularly the grains in the middle
section. Farmers are in an unusually
prosperous condition and are taking
greater amount of interest in poll
tics this year than ever. 1t seems to
be the sentiment of the people that
Wilson will be the next president,
the Roosevelt and Taft forces split
ting the republican party. However
business does not seem to be effected
are running full forces. The great
est drawback in the east is climate.
More rain has fallen this year than
in any other year in the past twenty.
Mr.. Payne says he is glad to get
back to where the sun shines steady
and the air feels clear. Fruit on
stands and in restaurants in the east
ern cities brings high prices. In Penn
sylvania the people would be glad to
pay 81 per box for peaches that bring
csc here.
The greatest development in the ru-
raj communities seemed to be the
dairy business. Owing to rigid inspec-
ton in the cities to which the milk js
shipped. the farmers have been com,
PEELED to better their dairy buildings
and facilities for handling the product.
Milk prices are very high.

The game of baseball at Sumach

being Is to 10. 1t was one Of the
Widest, wierdest and most fantastical

this part of the state and how so
many of them should pick on day
to bunch their errors Is something
that no person can fathom. The auo-
fence was certainly charitably In
clned or some of the players would
have been assassinated for their
numerous errors both of omission and
commission.
The All Stars started in at the jump
off to win the game by making two
runs in the first and two more in
the third inning, but the Tigers kept
right along, and by making three runs
In the fourth inning took the lead, the
score standing six to four The All
Stars took a new start in the fifth in

have been brought to the notice Of
the mayor and chief of police of that
city and to the prosecutor and sheriff
OF Essex county by Governor Wilson,
Calls Attention to Vice
In a letter to those officials. the
governor calls attention to alleged
vice conditions in Newark complained
of recently by the anti-saloon league
of New York at a formal hearing be-
fore him in Trenton.
Documents relative to the COM
plants are incIosed with the gov
ernor's letter and prompt and effec-
tive action In the matter is asked.
The documents. Gov. Wilson says,
set forth very explicitly and with a
good deal of detail conditions of law
lessn6es and of scandalous public dis
regard of law In the city of Newark,
which, II true, are deeply demoraliz-
ing and disgraceful, and the evidence
with which the recital is supported IL
direct, the evidence Of eye witnesses
of scenes which mean, if they mean
anything, that the police and civil
authorities of the city not only con-
nived at the lawlessness but in some
instances countenanced 1t in person.
says Evidence Is Strong
ut may be that this evidence can
be successfully rebutted," the gov
ernor's letter continues. But 1t is so
strong, so explicit, so direct and 80
shocking that it is plainly my duty
as governor of the state to act on il
and to call your attention to the alb
solute necessity of searching in
vestigation and thoroughgoing corr
rection of these conditions, If they
exist"
