BUYS ESQ TONS OF HAY

The Carnation Cream company of
Carnation, Washington, recently pur-
chased ESQ tons Of alfalfa hay from
Archie Brown at Cold Creek, paying
$13 per ton in the stack. The COM
tpany is having the hay baled and
hauled to the Milwaukee railroad for
shipment to Carnation. The delivered
price of the hay costs the Carnation
people $2l.55 and while they admit
that alfalfa hay can be bought cheap
er in the Kittitas and Yakima valleys
the quality is SO much better
that they say they are willing
to pay the higher price. The
section crew has been given
orders to put in new siding
near the Won Herberg place which
will make the haul about four miles
less and therefore will be much APP
preciated by the Cold Creek farmers.
They requested that such siding be
put in when the Milwaukee officials
were here week or two ago and got
quick action,

TO FEATURE VALLEYS
FRUIT and VEGETABLES

That the officials of the Milwaukee
railroad intend to keep their promise
made on their recent visit here to
put this velley on the map is indi.
Gated by the following item taken
from a recent issue of the Seattle
Times
As a result of the recent visit of
President H. E. Byram and other high
officials of the Milwaukqee railroad to
the White Bluffs Hanford district and
the Priest Rapids Valley the Milwau-
kee soon after the first of next year
will begin to advertise fruits and
vegetables of that section by serving
them on its dining cars and noting
on the menus the place of their pro-
duction.
The company's intention was am
nounced today by H. B. Earling, Sc
attic vice president of the railroad,
who accompanied President Byram on
the trip of inspection.
1--WE were particularly impressed
with the possibilities of the Cold
Creek district, where the recent dis
covery that an abundance of water
could be obtaind by drilling arte-
sian wells is resulting in extensive
arid land reclamation" said Mr.. Ear
ling. six wells have been driven,
and we saw one that is a vcrtible
gusher, throwing stream of water
ten inches in diameter forty feet into
the air.
"This country produces the earliest
fruits and vegetables in the state and
we shall have Priest Rapids Valley
strawberries and asparagus on our
dining cars almost before the calen-
dar shows that winter is over"
