Yancey waited, Bible in hand, sweet

power seemed to flow from him to
them, drawing them, fixing them, en-

a warning pang of fear through

THE STORY

Yancey Cravat, Just returned
from the newly opened Indian
territory, relates his experiences
to large gathering of the Ven-
able family. Yancey is married
to Sabra Venable; is criminal
lawyer and editor Of the Wichita
Wigwam. When the Run started,
Yancey had raced his pony
against the thoroughbred mount
of girl. The girls horse was
injured and when Yancey stopped
to shoot it she grabbed his pony
and got the land Yancey wanted.
Yancey announces he is going
back to the Oklahoma country
with Sabra and their four-year-
old son, Cimarron. They make
the journey In two covered
wagons. They arrive at Usage,
where Yancey intends to start
newspaper. Yancey is determined
to find out who killed Editor Peg
Ter of the New Day. Preparations
for the publication of the Okla
homa Wigwam are completed.
Yancey consents to conduct d.

MRS. BESSIE SCHRADER DIES
SUDDENLY IN SEATTLE

Mrs. l. T. King was able to leave
st. Elizabeth's hospital in Yakima last
Thursday and was brought to her
home at the de Veuve ranch to con-
tinue her convalescence from recent
serious illness. On Saturday Mr.. and
Mrs King received the sad news of
the death of their daughter, Mrs. Bes-
sic Schrader, in Seattle Although Mrs.
Schrader had been in i'll health for
some time, her death was entirely un-
expected and was a great shock to
Mrs. King in her weakened condition.
Mr. King left on the train Monday ev-
ening for Seattle to attend the funeral.
Mr.. King returned from Seattle
Wednesday with his two sons, Walter
King of Clayton and Earl King Of Spo-
kane and the ]atter's son, Walter, Jr.,
who had also attended the Schrader
funeral and who stopped over on their
way home to spend few hours here
with their mother.

1892 Berry Crop Is
Being Made Now

Strawberry growing in Washington
is largely done by the hill system. One
Of the chief requirements Of this sys-
tenn is the removal Of runners arising
from the mother plant during the
growing season. says j. T. Bregger, ex-
tension horticulturist, ashing o n
State College. Although the value of
removing such runners has long been
realized the Importance of prompt re-
moval has been somewhat overlooked.
Any runner beginning to form is a
drain on the vitality of the mother
plant which translates itself into "a
decreased yield the following season.
An experiment conducted to show
the value of frequent cutting of run
ners in the average number of berries
produced per plant revealed that
where runners were cut every week,
the plants produced an average of 10
berries; every two weeks II berries;
every four weeks, IL berries, and every
six weeks, only 9 berries per plant.
The definite decrease in yield was in
almost direct ratio to the length of
time that the runners were allowed
to grow, indicating that runners
should be cut at least every two weeks.
Another experiment. to show the i'm
portance of continuing runner removal
until the end of the season produced
similar results. Where runners were
allowed to root after September l,
plants yielded 81 berries per plant,
against 40 berries per plant where
runners were cut off throughout the
season.
On the basis Of these experiments
DR.. George M. Darrow, United States
department of agriculture, made the
following statement which should de-
mand the attention of all Washington
strawberry growers: Frequent and
thorough cutting of runners in North
west strawberry fields seems to offer
the cheapest and most certain way of
increasing strawberry yields and low
ering the cost of producing pound
of strawberries in fields grown under
the hill system"

Supplies and
Labor to Cost
Growers Less
CHANCE FOR PROFIT WILL DE-
PEND ON SELLING PRICE.
CROP SHORTER THAN 1890

With nearly all orchard supplies
costing less than year ago and the
possibility that there will be cut in
labor costs in the warehouses, the
growers in this valley will have
chance for better net return for their
apples than has been possible for sew
eral years.
ArSenate of lead is costing the grow
ers about cents a pound less, while
cost of spreader. However, this has
been difficult season for the con-
troll of the cooling moth and more
spray than usual is being applied,
which will partially offset the saving
in the lower price
Apple box shook is cents under
last year, which will mean neat lit
tie saving in itself where the grower
has tonnage of any consequence.
Neither of the warehouses in town
have yet agreed on wage scale for
packing the fruit crop this year but
both are contemplating lower scale
than was in operation last year. which
will apply to all warehouse work. in
Guiding packing. The wages paid here
last year were higher than in almost
any other district in the Northwest,
and those other districts are planning
"a further cut this year.
With the lower prices for supplies
and labor. the saving to the grower
will amount to several cents box but
this may be offset by lower price for
the fruit. The unknown factor right
now is what the fruit will bring on
the market. The crop is considerably
smaller than last year. For instance,
in the Yakima valley the outlook now
is for 1880 to $4,000 cars as against
a crop last year of 1890 cars.

Lots OF Folks See
Pasco Celebration

This valley was we'll represented at
the Pasco- Kennewick joint free bridge
opening and Fourth Of July celebra-
ton last Saturday. While warmer than
it had been for the preceding week,
the day was pleasant with a gentle
cooling breeze blowing most of the
time.
The program of the day was car
ried out pretty much as advertised.
There were many beautiful floats in
the big parade that started in Pasco
at 10 a. m. and crossed the bridge
to the Kennewick side of the river.
Speeches were made by many of the
notables of the state who were there
and during the noon hour all of the
shady places were filled with numerous
picnic parties.
BY 2:30 the Pasco ball park was
packed with spectators to witness the
game between the Pasco and Kenne-
wick clubs. They saw a good contest
which was won by Kennewick by a
score of to 0, much to the pleasure
of the fans from this valley who were

were lined with thousands of cars of
visitors to witness the magnificent dis
play of fireworks which was shot from

bridge. Almost as inspiring sight as

Fall From High Ledge
Fatal to Mrs e. w .Steffen

Friends of the E. w. Steffen family,
former residents of White Bluffs, were
shocked to hear of Mrs. Steffen's ira
gic death, which occurred Tuesday of
last week when she fell from forty
foot ledge overhanging the Skagit
river. Her neck was broken. Her body
was recovered from the water within
few minutes by three men but at
tempts to resuscitate her failed.
The family, including Mr.. and Mrs.
Steffen and their two children, Peggy,
IL, and Billy, IA, had been spending
two weeks in Mount Vernon where
they had gone for Mrs. Steffen's
health, but had their goods packed
and were just ready to leave for va
kima when the accident occurred
In the first report Of Mrs. Steffen's
death, it was given as suicide but later
accounts indicate it was accidental, &C
cording to the Yakima Herald, which
said, Friday:
wv. E. Steffen, his daughter, Peggy,
and his son, Billie, arrived in Yakima
Wednesday, bringing the body OF Mrs.
Steffen, who was reported to have
committed suicide by jumping in the
Skagit river. Mr.. Steffen has abandon
ed the suicide theory and agrees with
the coroner, who pronounced her
drowning accidental. After interviews
ing two women who saw her fall
screaming into the water, he has con-
cluded she stepped down to project
ing ledge to look for her son and an
other boy who were fishing under the
bridge and that she fell accidentally.
Mrs. Steffen had lived in the Yakima
valley for many years.
Funeral services were held last Fri
day afternoon in Yakima where the
family had resided for many years.

Federal Farm Board Calls
Conference of Co-ops

E. F. Clemens of Kennewick is leav-
ing for Seattle today to represent the
3 Rivers Growers association at con-
ference of eight Northwest Cooperative
Marketing organizations The confer
ence is being called by the Federal
Farm Board and the new National
Fruit & Vegetable Exchange which has
jast recently been completed with
headquarters at Chicago.
Lee NJ Lampson of the Rivers
Growers association is the director
from the Northwest territory on the
National Fruit & Vegetable Exchange
The new Exchange is sponsored by
the Federal Farm Board and the plan
provides for the different cooperatives
of the country jointly establishing
their own brokerage connections in the
markets.
1t is probable that they will set up
a few of their own salaried offices in
the largest markets and will jointly
employ established broker service in
the other markets

Clarke and Parke to Market
Twenty Tons of Cots

The apricot harvest in this valley
has been on full blast this week.
Clarke and Parke, probably the larg-
est producers at White Bluffs, estimat-
ing their tonnage at around twenty
tons, are marketing their crop through
the Big Y and that concern has
crew of eleven packers here at the
ranch packing the fruit for shipment.
The packed stuff is taken in trucks to
Sunnyside where it is loaded into cars,
most of which are said to be rolling
to eastern markets No cash offers are
being made but it is believed the re-
turns will be sufficient to cover the
harvesting and packing charges and
leave some profit for the growers. The
later varieties of cots will not be ready
for market for another week or ten
days.
