MUCH INTEREST IN
THE DAIRY BUSINESS
Last Year the People of Washington Sent
$7,OO0,000 Out of the State
For Dairy Products

There has been a reduction OF forty
per cent this year in the amount of
money sent out Of the state of Wash
ington for dairy products, according to
an estimate by Deputy State Commis-
sioner Of Agriculture, H. T. Graves,
while in Spokane recently. DR.. Graves,
who was formerly with the city health
service, is in charge Of the dairy and
live stock divisions Of the state de-
partment Of agriculture.
A year ago the people of Washing
ton were sending out of the state ap-
proximately s7,oOo,ooO for dairy prod
ucts," said DR.. Graves. by the
close of this year I believe the amount
will be cut down at least 40 per cent
This is due to the fact that there
has developed a new interest in the
dairy business all over the state. This
state is naturally fitted for the dairy
business and before many years We
will not be sending out money for
dairy products. Instead, Washington
is destined to become a great exporter
of dairy products.
The state department of agricul-
ture is doing everything in its power
to stimulate the dairy and live stock
industries. We are encouraging the
dairymen to get in better stock, and
there is big movement in this re-
spect. We are issuing bulletins along
these lines and it is our purpose to be
Of assistance to every farmer and stock
man in the state. d"
DR.. Graves has five men under his
direction in the dairy and live stock
division. Three Of these now are
working west of the mountains and
two on the east side.

he has had much experience. AT the
time Of going to press he had not fully
made up his mind. He says the town
looks good to him and he has fre-
quently heard it highly spoken of by
travelling men. He admits, tho, that
he did not think there would ever be
much Of a town here, twenty years ago.
He only found few Of the old timers,
among them DR.. Hoxsey and S. E.

AUTO GOES OVER HILL
IS DESTROYED BY FIRE
Machine Owned by Clarence Good
PIunges Over the Hill on South
Side Road Monday Evening

Lying at the bottom of the hill,
about two hundred feet from the road,
on the south side road about mile
and half from this city, will be found
the tangled remains of a once hand
some Overland 80 touring car.
Just how the accident happened is
a mystery, although R. E. Edgar who
was driving the machine lays the trou-
BILE to defective steering worm or a
broken contortion road.
The accident happened Monday ev-
ening about ten o'clock and from ali
accounts the chafeur was trying to
turn around on the grade which is
hardly wide enough for two cars to
pass. There were four other occu-
pants riding in the car whose names
we were unable to learn but at the
time of the accident only the driver
was in his seat.
Mr.. Edgar who was at the wheel
when the car left the bank was thrown
out on the ground before the machine
reached its last resting place and was
severely bruised but not seriously hurt.
A slight projection at the bottom of
the hill was all that kept the car from
going into the river. No sooner did it
come to a standstill than it caught fire
and was entirely destroyed.
The machine was brought to this
city by Clarence Good from Seattle
about three weeks ago and who has
been running it for hire since that
time. Mr.. Good states that the car
belonged to his brother and he be-
lieves that it was insured.

THE C0LOCKUM ROAD
OR THE BLEWFTT PASS
Good Roads Enthusiasts Should see That
the BIewett Road has a Preference
Over the COIOCkum Road

A party made up of Matt Hickey,
commissioner for district No. D, E. M.
Gillette and F. A. Warren, county en-
gineer, drove to Ellsnsburg last Satur-
day by way Of the Colockum road,
which crosses the mountains a few
miles below Wenatchee. The object
of the trip was to inspect the road over
the mountain and to confer with the
commissioners of Kittitas county to see
if the two counties could not unite and
put the highway into better condition.
The Kittitas commissioner will make a
trip over the road in the near future
and it is believed that they will favor
the proposition Of improving the road.
There are many long and steep hills
on the Colockum road and it will ne
cessitate the expenditure of thousands
of dollars before it will be in good
shape for travel.
There should be road across the
mountains to connect with Ellensburg
and CleElum and that road should be
via the Blewett Pass, The writer
travelled over both roads last year and
found the Blewett road to be much
better and shorter route. 1t is posi-
BILE at the present time for an automo-
bile to make the trip to Ellensburg
and CleElum by way Of Blewett, but it
is estimated that it would take from
$4,000 to $4,000 to put the road into
first class condition. With this amount
of money spent on the highway all of
the bad grades could be eliminated
and it would not take more than five
or six hours to make the trip from this
city. 1t is not more than six miles
from the summit until one strikes the
good roads for which Kittitas county is
noted and after that it is clear sailing
all over the county.
If any money is to be spent on
highway into Kittitas county it should
be on the one via Blewett, as it is the
most feasible and shortest route to the
south side.

PROMINENT JAPANESE
VISIT LEAVEMORTH
Congressman from the FIOwery King
dom and Two Newspaper Men
Here This Week

To investigate the condition OF the
local Japanese colony aud establish
more friendly relations, A. Hatoroi, a
congressman Of Japan, and S. Fiyioka
and T. Iuiahashi. two newspaper men
connected with the North American
Times, of Seattle, a Japanese publica-
ton. spent Tuesday and Wednesday
in this city. All three Of the visitors
who are College graduates, were much
impressed with LeavenWorth and re-
marked that they were very sorry that
they were unable to make longer
stay in the city. Tuesday evening the
local Japanese held a meeting in the
Commercial club rooms after which
they gave banquet in honor of the
visitors, at which there were about
sixty-fve guests present.
A. Hatoroi who is one Of the law
makers in his country spent several
months in the United States and re-
Gently returned from Washington, D.
c. where he was sent by his govern
ment to confer with President Wilson
and Secretary Of State Bryan. Mr..
Hatoroi states that while the Japanese
are not unfriendly to this country, they
resent the California trouble, but are
in hopes that it will be peaceably set
tied. "One thing we want under
Stood" he said is that there is no
danger Of war between the two coun-
tries. The people of Japan want to
be on friendly terms with this country
and believe that in the course Of
time when the Americans better un-
derstand the Japanese there will not
be SO much ill feeling towards US.
When asked if he believed that
Diaz, now on his way to Japan was
seeking the aid Of that country, in
case the United States intervened in
the rebellion that is now going on in
Mexico, Mr.. Hatoroi said: No that
is all newspaper talk. 1t maybe that
Diaz would like the assistance Of Japan
in case Mexico and your country be-
came involved in a war, although l
don't think that is the object of his
visit, but they won't get it. Diaz will
be treated as any unofficial foreign Wis
itor during his stay in Japan"
Mr.. Hatoroi is a graduate of Har-
ward College and has spent some
twenty-five years in this country. He

about the first of November when he
will sail for Japan to be present at the
opening of Congress which is some
time in December.
Wednesday morning the visitors
made an auto trip down the valley as
far as Cashmere returning to this city
in time to catch No. for Seattle.
