feat of Hogan Before 8,000
Frenzied Fans
BAN FRANCISCO, Sept. 9.—A deep
seated grudge of long standing settled
here today when Frankie Burns of
Oakland knocked out "One Round"
Jack Uogan of this city in the tenth
round of their lightweight fight be
fore 8,000 frenzied fight fans.
The venom and hate behind every
punch was so Intense that force was
necessary to make tho belligerents
take their corner on one or two oc
casions after the gong had terminated
the round. The contest was one of
the most sangulneary every witnessed
In the local arena and the gameness of
Hogan, who was subjected to gruelling
trip-hammer face punches was mar
velous. •
Bums took command at the third
and only the expert coaching of Spider
Kelly, Hogan's chief second and the
£ong saved Hogan from defeat. Burns
. tried to end matters in the fourth,
but Hogan rallied marvelously, as
, eumed the aggressive and sent In hard
'■ rights and lefts until Burns' features
were badly swollen.
The five next rounds were savage
ones, Burns boring in and Hogan
pamely trying to check the Oakland
»r's onslaught. In the tenth Burns
•met Hogan with a vicious uppercut
{ that signalled defeat. He followed
' this with three crashes to the jaw
I that sent Hogan to the canvas. Hogan
I gamely struggled to his feet, but he
was done for- The rest was easy for
Burns, who planted a solid finishing
blow to the chin.

to His Liking
. ***—
COLONEL TELLS AUDIENCE
WHY HE IS FOR SUFFRAGE
He Also Pays Respect to Wood
row Wilson and to the Non-
Progressiveness of the Demo
cratic Party
SPOKANE, Sept. 9.—As Colonel
Roosevelt left hero tonight on the last
leg of his westward Journey, looked
back at the city and remarked "Well,
by George, Spokane has given me
what I might call a middling lively
day."
The colonel was permitted eight
hours' sleep here after he reached
Spokane last night and that was all
he had to himself. He made four
speeches, attended a breakfast, a
luncheon and a dinner, talked politics
with progressive leaders and headed a
parade, through the city.
Colonel on Woman Suffrage
In his speeches Roosevelt gave his
views of woman suffrage saying that
he had endorsed the move because he
found that It was the opinion of well
informed women that suffrage would
tend to improve the lot of working
women. In his speech to women he
declared that women must exercise
in Washington the right of suffrage.
It was a duty, he said, not a privilege.
Reply to Wuodrow Wilson
In one address he replied to Wood
row Wilson's criticism of the pro
gressive proposal for a minimum wage
scale. He declared that Wilson was
undoubtedly conscientious in his opin
ions, but that they were based on
views of economists expressed several
years ago. He Justified the minimum
scale on the ground that conditions
have change radically in recent years.
The colonel assailed the position of
the democratic party. He said it is
not progressive, but it is a "peculiar
type of toryism." He also discussed
tariff, courts, high cost of living and
farmers, of the republican party he
said little, on the ground that he
"never discussed dead folks."
Quarrel Over Koosevelt
PORTLAND, Sept. 9.—Colonel
Roosevelt will not visit Vancouver
Wednesday. As the result of n
remonstrance sent by the local com
mittee when they learned the colonel
had consented to visit the little city
across the Columbia, Colonel Roose
velt wired the committee this after
noon that the Vancouver trip had
been abandoned.
After the committee on arrange
ments to.ni_ht decided not to allow
tile ex-president to visit the luncheon
of the transportation elu>b, the club
wired to Roosevelt asking that the
committee's decision be overruled.
They staSed the commute previous.y
promised that the colonel should visit
the lunch, but at the last minute re
scinded the agreement.
The plan was abandoned tonight <o
Shower tho colonel with roses during
the parade. The federal authorities
objected on the grounds that it gave
too great an opening to a person
' »s-»klng to assassinate Roosevelt.

A telegram from Chicago Monday
from Ernest Berg to Arthur Coffin
announced that Mr. Berg, who nad
offered Yakima lambs on the Chicago
market Monday morning had topped
the market for the day, obtaining
7% cents a pound for his animal.*,
which averaged about 73 pounds

Berg, McLennan, McGee and others,
it will be remembered, shipped out
29 carloads of animals from Yakima
10 days or so ago. There were six
or seven thousand animals in the
shipment and those not sold Mon.ay
will be disposed of today.
Ragan Buys in Montana
Ellis Ragan, who represents tho
Fry company of Seattle, returned to
his home here Monday from Mon
tana, where he has been on a buying
tour. He reported that he had picked
up about 7000 head, the bulk of w.tieh
will be shipped directly through to
Seattle to be used. There is a chance,
however, that some of them ma\ be
held h/iek In this valley for use later-
There remain, unsold, in Yaklm.r.
probably eight or ten thousand heaii
of sheep, which will be marketed this
fall. The bulk of the sales of the
young stock have been made at Chi

the Yakima growers and In which
they have netted excellent prices.

TIETON ASSOCIATION
MUST RELEASE SHARES
Over Eleven Thousand Represent
Non-Irrigable Acreage—Year's
Financial Statement
Secretary R. H. Warnick of the
Tieton Water Users' association made
an interesting report to the associa
tion at Its annual meeting Saturday,
when he showed that with 1530
shares subscribed during the year the
total number of shares subscribed to
date reaches an aggregate of 41,728.
Tho Irrigable area is 30,652.34, which
leaves to be released, because the
land is non-irrlgable some 11,175.89
shares. This makes, therefore, a to
tal of 34,500 share under the Teiton.
The land for which shares have
not been issued comprises 2274 acres
belonging to the state, 681 of public
lands, which Is homestead land, etc.,
327 acres of railroad land and 895
acres In private ownership.
The incomo of the association for
the year, as reported by Mr. Warnick,
with, with $673 cash on hand at the
first of the year, a total of $4,054 and
the expenditure was $3,634, which
leaves a round figure balance of $400.
Amendments to Bv-l-aw-.
Amendments were made to the by
laws on Saturday providing as fol
lows: "That one share, and no mora,
shall be allotted for each acre of land
provided that fractional shares may
be allotted for proportionate fraction
al areas."
There was an amendment also cov
ering the time within which shares
might be withdrawn and a return
made, thereon of assessments exacted.
The time was extended to read "with
in two years after April 1, 190S" and
this was an amendment to section 6
of article 2.
Hon. A. J. Spla/wn, president of the
association, resigned hie office and
his position as trustee, the meeting
hours as fixed condiutln-g with hours
now devoted to public service for the
city of North Yakima. As the five
trustees Messrs. H. M. Gilbert, W. 1.
Huxtable, ft*. L. Lemon, F. J. Wil
cox and Xlck liartung were selected.
Wight Brothers Robbed
Wight Brothers, dentists. No. 3
Yakima National bank building, were
robbed between 12 and I o'clock.
While they were at lunch a burglar
entered the office and got away with
a lump of gold used in their business.
It Is said that a similar robbery was
committed In Ellensburg but a few
days ago. The two crimes are sup
posed to have been committed by the
same person-
% SEPTEMBER U, 1912
HOW CO-OPERATIVE ORGANIZATION
PAYS
"Where and how would it benefit me if we Yakima
fruit growers were to organize and work together along
the lines you are advocating?" asks a rancher in a let
ter to The Herald. "1 have heard a lot about the bene
fits of 'co-operative organization,' but what 1 want to
know is what financial good it will do me personally if 1
join with the other growers in a movement of this kind.''
The best reply to such a query is to point to the ex
perience of fruit raisers who have worked under the hit
or miss, individual plan of marketing their product and
have also worked under the plan of co-operative organi
zation. After several years of the latter system, the
Tulare County Exchange, a member of the big California
Fruit Growers Exchange, reports the advantages to the
growers of handling their business under exchange or as
sociation methods as follows-
Better prices. « '
Largely increased consumption.
tk Reduction, in selling cost of more than a
■ third.
Reduction in packing cost of almost one
half.
Better distribution.
w Reduced freight, refrigeration and insur
f ance rates.
Better and more business like relations
with jobbers and retailers.
More effective methods in the war against
insect pests.
The-experience of fhe Tulare County growers is the
experience of growers everywhere co-operative organiza
tion haa been intelligently worked out. It can- be our
experience in the Yakimas. It is up to the growers
I . themselves.
