ARE MANY
Neat New Homes Going Up in All
Parts of City Despite Winter
Season
UTHERNER WILL COPY
YAKIMA STYLE AT HOME
Thinks Type of Cottage in Use
Here Admirably Suited for
Houses for Earners of Moder
ate Salaries
Judging from the number of new
houses being put up the past few
Greeks, building is aa all year possi
bility here. Even concrete work,
•which is usually called to a halt long
Toofors this, is still progresing. Houses
are being plastered, the drying pro
cess being hustled by the use of
small heaters, It the hope that
enough of the wet may be absorbed
before a hard frost causes the walls
to freeze and crack. Altogether it
has been an ideal early winter for the
carpenter and the mason.
The new homes which are being
put up are rather ideal, too, in their
way. Of a smallness to astound east
ern dweller to whom ten or twelve
rooms seems modest .they are never
theless the most attractive and con
venient abode for a young couple or
an extremely limited family that can
■be found anywhere for the money.
"WMle space is not overabundant, not
a bit of It goes to -waste and the
houses gain in cozinoss and conve
nience what they lack in commodlous-
Siess.
He Was Surprised
A Georgia man, visiting here this
eumm--r, fell in love with the Yakima
bungalow and returned home determ
ined to Introduce the fashion in the
south. To him, and to most -people
-who have not seen the sort of home
which is so popular in Yakima, a
bungalow meant an elaborate and ex
pensive dwelling after the California
style. The five and six roomed
houses, all on the ground floor, with
their modern plumbing, their electric
lights and their heating plants. If de
sired, appealed to him as the latest
word in practical housing of the aver
age wage earner. The fact that eeon-
omy in construction is not obtained
at the expense of artistic effect is
decidedly In their favor.
Few Apartment Dwellers
It Is probably the charm and the
availability of these bungalows with
which the city is dotted which has
discouraged tho fiat in North Yakima.
There are half a dozen apartment
houses, perhaps, and there are al
ways a certain number of people who
don't like to bother with shoveling
coal, tending stoves or furnaces dur
ing the winter. To them the flat will
always appeal—ln the winter. But
with everybody wanting a home of
his own —a sort of racial instinct —
even the flat man's fancy turns to
wards a lawn to mow and a garden
to grub with the spring time. So
that here, with tho "little place or.
the car line" so easy to got, commun
ity living has not made much pro
gress.
Speedily Tcnameil
In the Bonnie Brae addition little
houses have been going up like
mushrooms. No sooner do they get
"built, apparently, than smoke is com
ing out of the chimneys and washing
hanging out 'on the lines. A couple
of houses have been started in tho
Lesh tract on the other side of the
street and a couple more out on Miles
avenue towards Johnson's corner
within a few days. Some of the new
homes in the city are on a more ex
pensive scale than the average bung
alow, but they preserve, for the most
part, the bungalow effect in building.
Own Their Homes
A surprisingly large number of
people in North Yakima own thoir
own homes and the reason lies just
here. For around $3000 a man ran
buy a lot and build a house: and ho
doesn't as a rule have to pay tne
whole of the money down. There are
a number of organizations and com
panies In the city which build homes
to sell on monthly payments, or wITVh
•will build a home to suit a custo
mer, whose monthly rentals will be
allowed to go towards paying for the
place. Undoubtedly the purchaser
pays more in this way than if he
could bnlld himself and pay cash out
right. The companies are entitled to
interest on their investment of cour«6.
But the great point is that the man.
earning Just an ordinary salary, can
come Into possession of a home in ;
this way, whereas, if he had to wait
to accumulate- the funds, he might
ha-ns to wait a long time, going on
paying rent the while.

and ordinarily there is no demand for
hops 00 the part of the consumers at

fact that though contracts are offered
there are no takers. Twenty-one cents

and poultry on the Christmas market,

prices of moat nre now to the point
where there is little profit to be de

Butter and eggs hold up. and there
is no likelihood of v change before
the end of tho holiday demand. The
very open season that has prevailed
hns gone a long way toward aiding the
local supply, anil hay and such feed
has nut taken its winter's climb to
high prices. This point, like all oth

outside for much of its dairy supplies,
and the [trice controlled by the de

There has been in circulation a re

Voice of ii Ciindldnte
Now nnd then Gov. Wilson does
say something which he Would not
have said, or which he WOUld have
expressed differently, if the desire to
be president had no place among his
dreams. The voice of the partisan
Is heard In his definition of a repub
lican as a man who thinks that men
of property are a nation's soundest
guide, and in his definition of a dem
ocrat as a man who thinks those
guides are the rank and file.
Of course, Gov. Wilson does not re
ally mean this. He knows, as every
body knows, that then- are genuine
democrats In both the political par
lies, juxt as in both there are men
who dislike and distrust democratic
government. Senator l.a Pollolto is
not only aa democratic as Guv. Wil
son; he has longer believed In tho
extreme democratic creed, Ex-Bena
tor AldriYh Is not more- opposed to
thoroughgoing democracy than is Mr.
Charles F. Murphy.
We can easlh understand how this
wish to he president must Influence
Gov. Wilson. Nobody I" win,in ambi
tion comes Is ever quite the same as
he was before its arrival. Hut Wo
do n-ot understand why any motive
should load a man like Wooilrow Wil
son to talk this old-fashioned clap
trap.—N.w York Globe.
cirowih of Direct Prdnarj
It is inevitable that the direct pri
mary idea should be applied to presi

Its spread throughout the country.
We are in a period of rapid remaking
of the edifice of government. The old

whs nominated in IS6*i, nay yet typi
fy an institution superseded as Com
pletely us the old structure itself.—

SPRAY PLANT
TO ENLARGE
Yakima Fruit Products Company
Has Ordered a Quantity of
Improved Machinery
HUGE TANKS EXPECTED
TO ARRIVE IN A WEEK
Manager Remelin Says He Sees a
Fine Opportunity for an In
creased Business Because of the
Greater Needs
A largo quantity of machinery has
boon ordered by the Yakima Fruit
Products company, better known lo
cally us the "vinegar plant," for the
manufacture, the coming year, of lime
and sulphur spray. Tho company haa
named its lime-sulphur solution
"Standard," and Its business already In
siirht this season is many carloads In
excess Of that manufactured last
year. With the increase in the or
chards and therefore In the demand
for the spray material, It is the Idea
of the company that il can make no
bolter move than to pre-pare to sup
ply the growers. As the company is
also buying fruit from the orchard
mon for tho. eider and vinegar plant,
it is the conclusion Ihat It will In
that way procure considerable trade
from its patrons.
Character of BSqulpiuMt,
Two largo stool tanks of the latest
type nnd design have been ordered
and are ox pod oil to arrive in a week.
The contract has boon let and word
has beon received that the huge re
torts are on their way here. Under
tho system of manufacture to be fol
lowed the tanks will be enclosed so
that none Of the essence of the con
stituent parts will be lost in the
process of manufacture. This Is ex
pected to result in better and stronger
spray. Another change which has
been decided upon la the centraliza
tion of power in the plant. Now ma
chinery and shutting are to be In
stalled and all Ihe plant will be
wnvf. , from the one central power

( (imager lieiuelln. of the company,

MAP OF CITY OF
NORTH YAKIMA
Prepared in Office of the County
Auditor at Cost of
About $600
WHITE PRINTS WILL
BE SOLD AT $15 EACH
Bettered That This Map Will
Long Be Authority by Those
Who Have Business With City
Line* and Divisions
An elaborate map of the city of
North Yakima was completed Tues
day by A. L. Ostrander for the use of
the rounty auditor's office, it will
be copyrighted by County Assessor P.
P. McCurdy personally, it being im
possible for Yakima, county to obtain
S copyright. The map Is seven nn.l
one-half fact long by six ami one
quarter feet wide and is on a. scalu
of 100 feet to the Inch.
This map vv«a commenced morn
than a year ago by Max Mook and
Robert Bayne also did some work
upon It. Mr. Oslrander has been de
voting his whole time to It since tho
middle of last August. Tho actual
money cost of the one map is ap
proximately $600.
Nothing has been spared In re
gard to time, core and expense in
getting data, so It may safely ho said
that it is as near absolutely correct
as It was possible to make It. J. W„
SltulHll and others In the auditor's
office spent considerable time In con
nection with reference to deeds and
other documents t,, tho end that tho
boundaries, distances, flgures, etc., of
whatsoever character should be cor
rect to the dot. tte accuracy makes
It all the more valuable.
The boundaries of the different ad
ditions are etched, thus showing at a
glancs where one addition ends and
another one begins The exact alas
of lote is given and Ihe acreage of
tracts mot planted is shown as per
the deeds
The map is right up to the minute,
the correct names of the streets and
avenues being given according to ths
latest action of the city commission
ers. Thus, the streets on the east
side of the Northern Phclflc railroad
track are North or South Front street,
North or South ETlral street and so on
consecutively toward the cast The
avenues on the west shle of tliu track
are first avenue north or First
avenue south, etc., consecutively
toward Ihe west,
All the school buildings, the fed
eral poet office building ami the court
house are Shown.
All the lettering on the map, ex
cept th* title, was done in free hand
by A. L. Ostrander, « draughtsman
wilh six years' experience. He Is now
draughtsman lv the office of tho
county assessor.
Where additions to the city seem
to overlap or where there are any
other apparent discrepancies, they
are shown on 11* - map.
After the map has been copyrighted
white prints will he made Of it and
sold at $16 each, in order that thn
count) may be reimbursed for the ex
pense to which It hns been put.
Owing to the an- thai has boon
lavished lv ihe production of this
map It Is believed Ihat it will for
years be the authority almost inval
uable, as a reference for the poat
nffkja officials, lawyers, real estate
maii, city and county officials and all
others who msj al any time have oc
casion to know how the city la laid
out according to the records.
