\. P. EXPECTED TO
DIG BENTON CANAL
Railway Company Will lake up
Better Proposition to Irrigste
Many Thousands Acres

The Northern Pacific railway COM
pany. says the Reporter of Kenne-
wick, has put to work a large crew
of engineers surveying the lower end
of the Benton project. the old Led
better canal which will irrigate ap-
proXimately $50, 900 acres of land
Immediately tributary to Kennewick.
Last week William r. King filed an
Appropriation of 1000 cubic feet OF
water to be taken from the Yakima
river in the vicinity of Prosser and
the engineers aforesaid went to work
and are now busy with the survey
The land to be irrigated includes
nearly 100000 acres of excellent land
belonging to the Northern Pacific
railway company and a great portion
of this immense body OF rich soil ad-
joins Kennewick beginning at the
edge of what is known as The High
lands, irrigated by the Northern
Pacific Irrigation company.
II appears lndl tue survey is Deln2
made by the railroad comlStny for the
purpose of locating the canal and get
ting estimates. From headquarters II
has not been definitely given out that
the railroad company will build the
canal but indications are that it will,
as this is practically the only manner
in which the railroad company can
realize anything on its immense body
of land
No particular gift of prophecy Is
required to see what the building If
this canal will mean to kennewick.
Whenever the Northern Pacific rail-
way company puts 100000 acres of
irrigated land on the market that
railroad as we'll as others will haul
people into Kennewick by the train
loads and the completion of this pro-
iect assures the building of city at
Kennewick.'
Approved by Government.
The Benton project, on which the
ia lroad company is working, has been
approved by the board of army en-
gineers and this board has recon-
mended to the government the build
ing of the project. However, it does not
appear that there will be any govern
ment money available for this pur-
poce for several years to come and
the completion of the canal by the
railroad is a happy solution of the
problem of building this immense
project As the railroad owns the
greater part of the land 1t seems
proper that this corporation should
build the canal and when it gets to
work 1t is reasonab BILE to predict that
there will be no delays,

People Have Been in Session
Pesfecting Traffic Agreements
Regarding Western Territory

Unusual preparations are now being
made by the Northern Pacific railway
in the way of equipping itself with
the necessary rolling stock for the
business of the coming freight season.
The railroad, as is well understood,
is expanding now about s10,0o0,000,
most of which will be expended at
Point Defiance Spokane, Pasco, Au-
burn, Centralia and Seattle, so far as
this part of the state is concerned,
though as previously announced, new
rails are to be laid between Ellens-
burg and Pasco and considerable
trackage in the Yakima canyon will
be Strengthened out.
New Refrigerator Cars.
Probably of most interest to Yaki-
ma people will be the news that the
Northern Pacific has ordered 500
refrigerator cars, and equal number
OF coal cars and at least 1000 box
cars. 1t is also stated that there are
to be purchased 25 passenger re-
frigerator" cars, whatever they are
There are in Yakima many rumors
to the effect that the Milwaukee rail-
ROAD, winch is now extending us llHe
from Beverly to Hartford, will con-
tinue down along the river until ii
can connect up with the o. w. r.
& N, which will give it access to
this valley.
Meeting at Portland.
In view of this belief the following
from Portland will be of interest:
An important traffic conference is
being held between high officials OF
the Milwaukee and Hartman systems
in Portland, but the nature of 1t is
being concealed. The best information
seems to be that the Milwaukee and
the o. w r. & n. are endeavorine
to arrange for a closer traffic alliance
for Portland and Oregon territory
The Milwaukee, as a matter of fact
is within 81 miles of Portland with
its own rails, but it has for two years
been giving the Hartman roads a
haul of more than 400 miles on every
pound of freight carried into Port
land.

GRANGE SEES
POSSIBILITIES
In the Potato Clubs to Be Or
gained Among the Boys of
Yakima County
Mr.. WYNCOOP OF AHTANUM
GIVES ENCOURAGEMENT
Says That Organization, So Far
as Ahtan,m Is Concerned Will
Back Up the School District
Pupils With Prizes

Members of the Ahtanum Grange
see great possibilities in the move
ment which has been started by
Messrs Smyser Gilbert, Dustin and
others for boys potato clubs in Yaki-
ma. SO good does it look to the
Grange members that they have
swung right into line behind the pro-
position and propose to lend their en-
couragement, support and influence in
the work. The Grange will work in
direct connection with the school dis
tricts, the prizes which it will offer
to be prizes for the scholars in the
district or districts which it desig-
mates.
Ahtanum Mans Views.
D. j. Wyncoop of the Ahtanum,
who was in North Yakima Friday.
spoke enthusiastically of the PROPOSE
ton and declared that in his opinion
the potato clubs of Yakima will do
Dor the boys Of this valley what the
corn clubs Of the south have done for
the boys there and will also do as
much for the parents as has been
done for parents OF the Southern boys
by the competition in which the
youngsters have engaged. 1t is the
desire of Mr.. Wyncoop and others
with him in the Ahtanum Grange that
the prize potatoes be permitted in
some way to compete at the state fair
for the general awards there to the
end primarily that the fair. the
oranges, the school districts. the boys
clubs and all other progressive infiu-
ences may be so cooperating behind
a decidedly progressive movement.
An Award for Girls.
Mr. Wyncoop recalled that in con-
tests there was an award fer the girls
in breadmaking, the winner being d
young girl who had defeated some 400
com peters, including her older sister,
contest Some such arrangement
should be made in his opinion, for
the girls of Yakima. 1t is true that
the potato contest is open to them and
that they may enter it If they 80 de-
sire but he thought they should be
given some special inducements along
the breadmaking fine.
School directors, Grange members
and others in any district to which the
details of the proposed competition
are sent will be, in the opinion of Mr.
Wyncoop. most willing to take up the
york and cooperate to the utm ost
in forwarding It, He suggests that the
detail rules of the contest be formu-
lated at once and sent out to the
various districts as the work must be
taken hold of without loss of time by
the boosters and the contestants.

.EvAPORAT|NG PLANTS
ARE A CERTAINTY
c. E. Norton Says He and Assoc
iates Are About to Sign
Up Contracts

There is no reason, says c K. Mort
on, for the apparently growing be-
lief that he and his associates have
abandoned their plans for evaporating
plants in the Yakima valley the pres
ent season. An effort apparently, has
been made to circulate such a belief
but the facts are otherwise. "Our
plans" says Mr.. Norton, "are very
much alive and will be carried
through. Two-thirds of the bearing
orchards in the Fruitvale district have
allied themselves with the movement
and those who are in on it are
among the most progressive pomolo-
gists of the district. Fifteen of the
most prominent of the Mob Hill fruit
producers have taken up with the
plans and they, too, are among the
most alert of the fruit producers Of
the North Yakima section of the val
ley. We have options on the sites for
our evaporators and are about to sign
up the contracts for our evaporating
plants. Our preliminary work, in brief
has about been accomplished and
while we have not had great deal
to say we have been saving wood
and saving strenuously."
What Will Be Built
1--WE propose to erect two evapor-
ators, one in the Fruitvale and one in
the South Mob Hill sections west of
North Yakima. Ultimately we expect
to erect several others covering the
Selah, the Naches and the Lower Yak
ina Those we expect to erect at
Fruitvale and South Mob Hill will
have a capacity of thirty tons of green
apples or four tons of evaporated APP
pies daily which means two tons OF
evaporated fruit for each plant. We
expect that they will employ fifty
workers and as the plants will be 10

FIRST CANDIDATE
FOR SCHOOL WORK
Miss Kate L. Brown Is in the Field
for Nomination as County
Superintendent

MISS Kate Brown of Granger has
announced herself as a candidate for
the position of county superintendent
OF schools for Yakima county and Is
the hrst candidate in the field for that
position. Miss Brown is well known
TO the voters who were here at the
,ast election as she was a very strong
oioder Tor the nomination. Since then
new conditions have arisen which
should strengthen her position before
the public. Miss Brown is one of the
largest and most progressive ranchers
OF Yakima county and Is also qualified
by experience and training to educa-
tonal work She has had nine years
OF experience as teacher and Is
both university and college grad
uate and has earned her A. b. and B.
S. degrees.
Has Been Successful
AS teacher Miss Brown always
met with success and her methods
and her ability have never been call
ed into question, which is saying a
great deal as school matters and edu-
cation usually come In for fair share
OF criticism and few of the engaged
escape. Miss Brown at the present
time Is school clerk Of District No. 81
In Yakima county but she has taken
a much larger part in education work
In this section of the state. She has
appeared at various institutes In North
Yakima and carried more than her
share Of the burden of the day in con-
nection Herewith. Not only however
has she shown herself capable as an
educator but also as a rancher as sug-
gested above. She manages her own
acreage and makes her work pay as
well az does any rancher in the valley.
In farming she is known by her neigh
bors as a progressive.

Sheep Men Come to This VAL
ley to Get Good Stock
LINCOLN BUCKS WANTED
BY PROGRESSIVE MEN
Breeding Interests of This Valley
Are Carrying Its Fame to a
Wider Number of Interested
Folk Annually

From Montana and British Column
bia have come to North Yakima in
quries for pure bred Lincoln bucks
and cross bred ewes. T. c, Powers
of Helena. Mont, has written to h.
Stanley Cofin asking prices on the
pure bred males and half bred ewes.
Fl ON Ashcroft, B. c., w. l.. McAbee
has come to this city to see for him
self and to purchase, if satisfactory,
about 1000 head of sheep. 1t has
been a matter of pleasure for the
Herald to point out the fact, from
time to time, that stockmen from
various other sections of this country
and Canada have come to this valley
for pure bred dairy and beef cattle,
for hogs or sheep, and it is beginning
to be understood by those not direct
ly interested in pure bred animals
that it is both good business and good
advertising to foster the breeding of
pure stock.
HOrsemen Backward.
The horsemen have yet consider
able distance to travel before they
Will catch up with the other breeders
but that industry has been by no
means neglected as there are owned
in the Yakima country several of the
finest draught animals to be found
anywhere in the west. There has been
no special effort, however, OF any
magnitude toward a high type of
mares, though the conditions are
steadily improving.
In sheep the Lincoln cross appears.
i'm this part of the country to be
growing in popularity because of the
better wool yield obtained and the
fact that there is no corresponding
loss on the mutton side. The same
results have been obtained in South
America by the wool men there, as
was pointed out recently in The
Herald and it Is because of what this
paper contained. with reference to
the fact that this valley had preceded
the South American development tn at
the Montana man makes his enquiry
of Mr.. Coffin.
Source of Fame.
State College Professor Mcdonald
of the animal industry department, in
recent institute lecture here de-
clared that in a few years this valley
Will be as we'll known for its dairy
interests as for it's fruit. Since the
days when Hon. A. ]. Splawn started
with his Hereford herd the
pure bred stock interests that
have been steadily growing and 1t
would be AN easy thing to prove
right now that the Yakima valley Is
known over a wider area, though
perhaps not so generally known, as a
stock country where pure bred types
are to be had than it is as a fruit
country.
Mr.. McAbee of Ashcroft, b. c.. has
not been a sheep man, hitherto, but
has been interested in cattle. In the
territory in which he proposes ia
place the sheep he recognizes the
conditions to be superior for that ami
NAL and not to the advantage Of the
cattle. In looking about for a suitable
place in which to purchase good stock
he naturally learned of this country
and came here.
