TWO GROWERS GUESSING On What Is to Be the Ultimate Outcome This Season of the Potato Situation DEALERS ARE INCLINED TO LET FARMERS ALONE Milwaukee Railroad Official Hands Out Some Excellent Advice to the Ranchers of the Kittitas Valley Just now the potato market has the dealers and the producers In this part of the country guessing. For some reason or other the potatoes do not appear to go into consumption as fast as careful observers think they ought to. The price paid producers is $13 and $20 a ton but the demand Is scant It is reported that Seattle. Taeoma and Vancouver, B. C. deal ers are seeking to unload fearing what is to come. 6n the other hand all outside reports seem to Indicate that the supply is very scant in the United Slates at large, and that the demand will be strong before the next crop comes on. Are Mining Abroad Federal government reports indi cate that the west coast Is buying heavily in Great Britain, especially in Scotland, in the Netherlands and in other European rountries which have a surplus or which are willing to let go at American prices. New York reports that the Maine crop has about all gone on the market and says I hat dealers In the east are con fidently expecteing high prices before long. While freight rates are such that it will not pay the western grower to ship to the east it is certain that with a shortage east the middle Western crop will move eastward rather than westward the coming year. Kastorn potatoes have come into this market in considerable qUSntlttea in seasons past and their competition ha.s held down the local market. Just what will eventuate year is at present a guess and the best gnesser will be the winner. There seems to lie a remarkable desire right now to permit the farmer to do th« speculating. Hny Has Dropped Away Hay has dropped to pieces so far as the market is concerned and no revival in prices will do much good as yet to many of the producers an they have let go and the crop is be ever much that is yet held Vy pro ever much that s yet held by I pro ducers but With such a winter as has prevailed and with no development work in progress the prospect looks anything but bright. Retail dealers all report that they have had an excellent Christmas season and have made large sales, all things considered. Meat market men are well pleased with the way they came through the holiday season and the grocers stand right with them. Traffic manager R. M. Calkins of the Milwaukee railroad, speaking to the people at Ellensburg a day or two ago had something to say which should Interest ranchers In all this part of Washington. Among other things he said: Too Much Speculation "In several districts I could men tion," said Mr. CglkinS, "there are few settlers because the speculators succeeded in putting land values too high You have a great country here but there are other good irrigated districts and I want to emphasize the fact that the growth of these dis tricts are held back by too much speculation. "People don't go apple crazy like the people of some districts. The diversified farming country is the greatest country and you have the best kind of a start here. Let me point out a few of the things we need here on the coast. For instance the railroads haul pork from as far east as lowa and Minnesota. No better hogs can be raised than in this sec tion, and for quick money it is one of the best things for the farmer lo grow. Some Things Needed "You need more chickens aund more cows. This is a flue dairy country end the farmers here could make more money by cultivating this In dustry. Vegetables are shipped in from California to the Puget Sound mar kets. That is an opening for local ranchers. Raising beef cattle would make as much money for the farmer here as in lowa and Nebraska. In fact. It would make more because the market price is higher on heef here than in the middle west. More Prooucers Are Wanted "To really develop this western country we must develop more pro ducers. You might think railroad of ficials would rather get the long haul but this Is not the case. We realize that the difference In price on articles in the east and out here are too great and we know this must be equalized to really develop the country and the best way to equalize it is to produce the things out here that are needed out here. Whenever the country grows up It will more than offset the loss due to the losing of some of the long haul business." General Report The general market Is as follows: Kallspell hard wheat flour.

J. A. Stover, pastor of the church. A panic followed the mishap and more than 200 persons in the audience fled wildly through the doors and windows. None of these were injured. The little girl was seated in the air ship when the light burst and ignited the cotton batting decoration with which the airship was covered. Stover drew the child from the burning mass and was burned while so doing. The church edifice was undamaged. , "Some men," said I'ncle Eben, "can't do no work wlfout talkin' so much about it dat dar ain't no time l lef to do it."—Washington Star. . *» -j 1 ■ KILLTHECOUOH and CURE thcIUNCS «n»DR.KINCS NEWDISCOVERY .

MANY HOMES MADE NAPPY Seventy-One Families Received Christmas Dinners Through Salvation Army ES AND STOCKINGS FOR NEEDY CHILDREP More Then 600 Present at Temple Christmas Night, Where 400 Sacks of Candy and Nub Were Distributed Charity Is of at least two kinds, snd -perhaps many more. One la theoret ical, the other practical. Dismissing the former from consideration for the moment, much may be said in regard to the latter. Here is where the Sal vation Army shows strong. Practical help for the needy. Christmas seaeon was a busy one for the Army, and no person can tell the good that was done. Contributions poured in fr^m those who were able to give, and the result was wonderful All day f*hrlstmas the work of dis tributing dinners was kept up. and many a household was made happy that otherwise would have not known of the presence of the holidays. The figures of what the Army did convey but a slight Idea of the real good that was accomplished. Seventy-one families were supplied with dinners composed of the follow ing: Chicken, pie, one-half pound of coffee, two pounds of sugar, one-h«lf pound of butter, one-half Back of po tatoes, two loaves of bread, one can tomatoes, one quart of fruit, one-half box of apples. That sounds pretty good. During Christmas day 80 pairs of shoes and stockings were given away to children who really needed them to protect themselves from the cold. The climax was reached Christmas night. Due notice had been given that a Christmas tree would be on ex hibition at the Salvation Army Temple on First street at 7 o'clock, and long before that time a crowd gathered that blocked the sidewalk. When the doors were opened all could not gain admission. It Is estimated that more than 600 entered the rooms ana that 200 were turned away. More than 400 sacks of candy and nuts had been prepared from the donations and pur chases, not quite all of which were distributed to the children. Mrs. P. V. Barnes had charge of this part of the work, in addition, doll babies to the number of 150 were distributed, aa well as many toys of different kinds an<i books. Bach recurring year witnesses new triumphs for the Army, and again next year, so say those Who are In charge, will they be able to do better, profiting by experience in handling, the gifts and money placed in their charge for charitable purposes. As It was Monday, the work was certainly done in a commendable manner, the pvorlsions and presents of all kinds dispensed going where they would do much good. The pony and cart won by George Le Clair Omann In the Emporium store contest Saturday came In handy Christmas, as they were used to carry dinners to the families to which they had been decided upon as proper re cipients thereof. Thus waa the spirit of Christmas carried out to the limit of their means, much pleasure being given. TEACHERS WILL BE HERE FOR SESSIONS Several Subjects to Be Discussed Have Already Aroused Con siderable Interest Nearly a thousand people interest ed in education are expected to be in North Yakima this week for the an nual meeting of the Washington Ed ucational association which Is tol hold its sessions, general and sectional, at the High school building here Wed nesday, Thursday and Friday. In ad dition to teachers and superintendents the gathering will bring a number of school directors from various parts of the state and there is a special sec tion devote^ to their Interests. In addition to matters of particular In terest o eachers as insructors there will be brought up a number of mat ters relating to policy In school law and among these will be the question of a pension system. It is the desire to make this pension applicable to teachers having thirty years of serv ice. Another matter which is to come up and which is of a great deal of in terest is the question of school ath letics. There Is a very strong feel ing among a number of school direc tors that athletics have no place, prop erly, in the public schools and should not be recognized by the state edu cational association and should be dis couraged as much as possible by the leaders in the separate schools. We natchee brings up the question of eli gibility of one of its football players and this question will open up the whole subject. There will be a large number of experienced lecturers In attendance at ] the Institute and many addresses will be delivered which will be Interesting; and instructive. The North Yakima I authorities propose several social galli- ' erings during the week. The Chimes ' of Normandy, presented by High •ehool students, will he the opening entertainment. ARTNOR COFFIN HAS GOOD TIME Says Long Beach Is a Delightful City and Very Lively for a Prohitntion Town ! TOO MANY OLD FOLKS FOR REAL INSPIRATION Yakima Mao Say* That Everybody Is Doing Well and Despite Goodness They Are Prepared for the Stranger Arthur W. Coffin of this city, who Is in California for the winter, writes to The-*Herald from Long Beach, put ting Into words for his friende here some bf the things he has seen and heard at the California resort. He says: ''•>! - 'Long Beach. Cal., Dec. 17, '11. \ "Life In Sunny California Is surely enjoyable, and It is claimed that one will live ten years longer If he will spend the remainder of his days here, after he reaches the age of fifty-five, and keep away from the rigors of the cold winters of the north, middle and eastern states. And from the looks of the old fellows one sees on the streets I believe It is true. Great Diversity of Amusement "There is a great diversity of amuse ment here; trolley rides, automoblling over the finest roads, orange groves, lemon groves, walnut farms, poultry and pigeon ranches, ostrich preserves, fishing, boating, and. If you are very hard put, pitching horse-shoes in front of the Carnegie library. At any hour of the day from 7a. m. until dark you can hear a dosen of the gray-haired boys bellowing out: 'Put her right over the pig. Cap; that's a ringer. We beat 'em." Long Beach Is Beautiful "Prom the name, 'Long Beach/ you would think this simply a beach or aummer resort. It is this ana more. It is a fine, beautiful city with 20,000 people, with five large banks, aa many churches, palm bordered, asphalted streets, and all done on a taxation for city, county and state of a $2.70 rate against ours In North Yakima of $4.50. The city owna a large auditorium ad joining the Pike and Midway, with expensive lighting plant, city artesian water, long wharves built away out Into the ocean and all of which which have to be kept up and still the taxes are low. Is Prohibition Town The' city has Increased In popula tion and wealth 700 per cent In the past ten years and Is a prohibition town. It seems strange that all the open dance halls, rinks, merry-go rounds, pool rooms, swimming bathe, ten-cent theatriea and every form of amusement can do so well and draw the large crowds they do, from Los Angeles and different towns, without any booze being sold here. You see young girls dancing together and promenading the Midway at 19 o'clock at night as safe from molestation as If they were at their own firesides. "The old folks proposition is get ting a little on my nerves. T*wo-thirds of the population are past the meri dian. You see rich old cattlemen from Montana, corn fed Nebraska farmers, retired eastern sea captains. Canadians, all out with their little palls sarrying cooked things from the nearest delicatessen. Signs such as 'Boston Baked Beans Cooked by Bos ton People,' Mather'a Waffle Kitchen,' 'Maine Mackerel.' 'Fish Dinners,' make you think of the time you had a whole stomach and you sneak around behind the clam chowder Joint before going to your Battle Creek nuts and baled hay diet. Everybody Is Doing Well "Everybody seems to be doing well and making money here. The new comer la besieged with all kinds of land Investments and joint stock schemes, from a wave power propo sition to a new project submarine div ing boat aaid while the people are so terribly good still they are alive to taking in the stranger within their gates and putting htm on the royal road to fortune. "Rents are not high. Best business Stares bring about two-thirds the rent. that we pay in Yakima. Dwellings for families rent for from $20 to $80 I per month and can be had for short | or long periods. Apartments with kitchenettes and sliding beds which disappear under the bath tub can be had for from $40 to $70 per month. "A. W. C."

One of two highwaymen started the eonversatxtone, while the other drew a huge revolver and pointed It at the center of gravity of the mah who was being held up. "Certainly," said Edward Blumen thal, "but I am Inclined to object to this rude and unceremonious method of introduction, for I have not the pleasure of your acquaintance.". "Cut out the epiel," said the high wayman—"lets get down to business." The above conversation took place at 9 o'clock Christmas eve at the cor ner of First and B streets. Mr. Blum enthal, of the Red Front clothing store ■gas on his way home, to 217 North First street, and had reached the above-mentioned place, In the shade of the trees In front of Read's laun dry. He was thinking of things much more pleasant, when he was rudely awakened from his revery. There were two highwaymen, both of whom wore masks. Occupying a front seat in the par quet circle of Mr. Blumenthal's neck scarf was a diamond pin In the shape of a horseshoe, valued at $125 in real money. It was a beauty. The rob ber liked the looks of it, and appro priated It to his own. use without as much as a thatnk you or a pleasant look. As a matter of fact, whether the robbers looked pleasant or not Is unknown, but It Is presumed that they did not. At this stage of the proceedings Mr. Blumenthal began to Bhow some of his old-time speed on the base lines, and established another record for quick thinking. A bonehead play would have been expensive. He had haised his hands according to request, and on one of his fingers of one of his hands he had a diamond ring worth a bunch of money equal to a king's ransom. Quick as a flash, Mr. Blum enthal clasped his hands together above his head, segregated the i-img from its fond embrace on the digit and tossed It backward onto the ground, so It would not be heard as It struck the cement pavement. It was a joke on the highwayman, and he got away with it. Having finished their Job the high waymen darted into the darkness., leaving their victim to pursue his way homeward. From what he could see, Mr. Blum enthal is of the opinion that the high waymen were both young men, but no accurate description could be given by him. Within ten minutes after the holdup the police were notified and kept a close lookout for the perpe trators. At 1:30 Chlstmas morning Officers Smith and Kelly arrested two men at the messenger office on Front street, and they are being held at the police station suspected of being the gentle men who turned the trick. Mr. Blumenthal said his first Im pression was to take the gun away from the robber who held it and beat the brains out of both of the men. Then he realized that the men might have relatives who would feel sorry when they heard on Christmas day how they had been killed, so allowed his tender sentiment to get away with his desire. Ratify Shuster's Dismissal TEHERAN, Dec. 25.—The cabinet today ratified the action given W. , Morgan Shuster, the American treas urer general his dismissal from office, i Indignation meetings were held after I the announcement of Shuster's dis : missal to protest against such action, ; but the crowds were dispersed by the police.
