given to the Sunday t-chool. There
were throe names ftuggested, the
Mayflower, Outlook, i,;..l another that
has become lost in the shuffle. One
of the touchers in the Sunday school
was a subscriber to Outlook mm. a
zlne, and was enthusiastic for the
adoption of that name, Her efforts
were successful. Later, when it cume
time to give a name to the new town,
the name of tho Sim,lac school was
followed, and Outlook placed on tin
map. Rev. W. F. Cochran, residing
at Granger, has charge of the church
here. A series of special meetings
Has Just been held, the local minister
being assisted by Rev. W. O. Stewart
of Prosser. There is a god interest

condition.

Itinerary Which Will Be Covered by Western Governors' Special
ST. PAT'L. Nov 27— (Special! —
An elevoii-c ur train, known as tho
Western Governors' SpectHl, departed
trom st Paul ihe evening of Novem
ber H.th for a 20-day tri-p to 21. cities
of he- Last and Middle West. Never
before in the- history of this country
has such an enterprise as this been in
augurated.
The Western governors are going

ing Last and West in closer contact
Tha people of the Rast, through their
representative business organizations,
have made "got acquainted" excur
sions to the Wssterß stutes and now
the people of the West are sending
iheii governors and most prominent
business men to return tbe compli
ment.
The West Is one of the best markets
fur manufactured goods which the
East has and the "patronise home In
dustry" spirit of the West has been
one of the considerations which has
urged the Wee-terr. Development Or
ganization to send this excursion tc

KNOWLEDGE SEEKERS
COME FROM THE EAST!
Perhaps more than anything else at
the Spokane apple show Or. Granville
Lowthor of this city was impressed
with the number of peeple from tho
east who had come west to learn how
to grow fruit and how to care for it
after it is produced. Dr. Lowthor mot
people from Massachusettes, Mary
land, lowa, Virginia. Missouri ami
other states who wore nt Spokane for
no other reason than to get the best
| information obtainable nnd take it
! baok home with them. This fact was
to him an eye opener. To llnd that
people would travel so far to make a
careful study of the thing In which
tho west thinks It is a specialist was
Interesting to the North Yakima fruit
man. It means. In the opinion of Mr.
Lowthor, that the oast anil the middle
west will produce the best apple they
are capable of In the not distant fu
ture and that fruit culture in tho
states named is no lemger to be a hap
hazard proposition.
Quality n Trifle OIT
The Yakima fruit which was not at
Spokane was not missed, according
to Dr. Lowthor except that tho careful
observer could see that the quality of
tho apples on display was not epiito up
to that of previous seasons. Tho im
mense quantities Which Yakima has
shown in other years wore not missed
because numerous small sections,
which have not hitherto participated
at the apple show wore all represent
ed and the aggregate of their exhibits
ran the total of displays up to that
of other seasons. "But" Bays Dr. Low
thor "the quality was not there. The
displays fell off a little from the
Standard of other seasons."

TURKEYS ARE
AT LOW PRICE
Butcher Says the Country Is Filled
With Poultry and Local
Supply Is Excellent
Turkeys wore peddled on the streets
of North Yakima Monday at 16 cents
a pound, dressed. Butchers are ask
ing 2 1 cents v pound at the lowest.
The pri" asked on the sfoot is not a
safe criterion as the. rancher wanted
to sell his birds, as fee had them in
town and found no great demand for
thorn.
Mr. C.ihson eif the Yakima. Meat
company on Monday said that there Is
a mistaken idea that there Is money
in poultry for the middle man and ho
instanced sevoral^c.isos. On was with
reference to turkeys this year, his
Concern having Invested in a hundred
ami got out only by. tho skin of Its
tooth. Afterwards, on the advice of
Mr. Ilrtthn of Seattle they had loft
tho turkey market severely alone. Just
before the state fair Mr. C.ihson said,
his people invested somo $700 in poul
try but becauae of Toppenish and
Prosser and other small town opposi
tion they had lost $19 75 to say noth
ing of the time and care given on
which there was not return the loss

transaction.
Plenty of Poultry
"The middle west" said Mr. Gibson,
"is full of poultry. Yakima is grow
ing more birds than it can consume

While not in groat demand In this

that to which it proves Itself particu

areas whore concrete work Is being
done so. A lino illustration of this Is
on South Sixth avenue whore the
Shanno ditch is being removed and
a concrete pipe placed in its stead,
These cold cold nights are bad on con

At night a canvas is thrown over the

the concrete mixture will set properly
and be in no danger from the frost.

IS A PROBLEM
Which Ranchers of the Lower

DRAINAGE DISTRICT IS
THE PLAN SUGGESTED
Landowners Representing an .
Acreage Which Aggregates Two
Thousand Are to Discuss Atti
tude They Will Assume
Ranchers of the L«oWer Naches, an.
ticipating the demands which the near
future will make upon them, are con
sidering the question af a drainage
district for the construction of a drain
which will take caro of their waste
and eeepnge water. This Is a prob
lem which ranchers in several purls",
of th* county have already confront
ed snd which they have Separately
■oived by recourse to tbe drainage
district. The situation In the Lower
Naohes is Inlinltely bettor than that
in many Other section but the ranch
era there, being a progressive! lot. are
desirous of handling tbu subject m
ita early stages- -i
Itniiiiigc anil Seepage
Drainage end seepage water from
the bench, where there are some
2,600 acres under Irrigation, lirv<« In
formed the Huckskln-Mlllor slough
which now receives tho surplus water.
This slough Is still available for tha
purpose bul la to many an eyesore
and IS said to be spreading In arse.
It Is said also that already some dam
ago has been done to sumo of Ilia
farmers lower down. DvsHtt Cleve
land and other ranchers of Ihe Low
er Naches have boon In confereno*
over the matter with W. I. Weir,
who is a. federal government drain
age export located here. Mr. Weir
has examined the bench ami lough
and mapped out an outline plan for
a dltoh which lie says will take car,
of tile waste and drainage water for
all time to come. This drain, he say a,
will need to be seven loot deep and
should be tiled. The work can he
done nl a light cost, relatively, tho
ditch running along the face of tin
bench lind between the bench and
the present slough li will carry Its
waters to ihe Naches river.
Wain to Stay 111 PYIIIII
There Is to be called, at an early
date, a tiieoling of ranchers of the
Lower NachoH vnlley. including Un
people interested in the upper ami

While. a« stated, there exists no es
pecial reason .11 this lime for tha
drainage ditch the future will bring It
forth and believing thai thoy have
now the most progressive part of the
Yakima valley tho Naches rannhnrs
propone to keep It no by 1,,-ing In 111*

the matter Is tnkon up at thi* time
