volume xxn ARE NO LONGER INDIFFERENT X Ranchers Who Held Out From i Fruit Growers Movement Are Joining .KNOWLEDGE IS SPRfc**'°'vb «.'J REGARDING OBLIGA i * *$l And Fact Is More Generally Un derstood That Those Whose Money Is Invested Must Con struct Marketing Machinery Indications multiply daily that the ranchers of the Yakima valley are more than ever interested in organi sation of the apple industry of this I valley and determined more strongly ; than ever to stand together and con * trol thorugh their own machinery • the marketing and distribution of the orchard crops. This Is manifested in many ways, one being the fact that ranchers who had hitherto paid no attention to ef forts at organization are now identi- I tying themselves with the movement to that end. Kaeh season as it passes brings about a more general under standing of the situation by the aver age grower so that sentiment la stronger and more deeply intrenched than heretofore. "I was a member of the committee of the commercial club," said Alex Miller," which investigated various phases of the fruit business at the tn etigation of the club and as a result we made a report which pointed out that the solution of the marketing problem is one that is up to the growers themselves. I do not care to go into the subject as an individual at this time but will merely refer you to that report. But One Result "The growers, in working out the Ibest ends in their own business can come to but one result. One big thing to remember is that the apple is a staple crop and can be !*arketc.; through a period of nine months. It does not have to be sacrificed as sott fruits -bive been sacrificed. Tbe 'tfrVT* has/ i past when the grain and flour men have sold other than f. o. to. Such sales must come for the apple man and he must bring them about himself. "So far as the soft fruits are con cerned the organizations which the growers will build up will have their plants for canning and evaporating and will, as a part of their own busi ness be prepared to eliminate such an awful waste as we have had in past seasons. "The time is rapidly coming when such waste cannot be endured for the reason that the old seasons of ab normal prices are passing. There may he unusual prices at one time or an other for some special crop, but the business Is getting to a permanent, profit-giving basis and as such must be organized to look after its own in terests In a way that the individuals cannot do it. The time is coming, in brief, when the competition from other districts will be sufficient to keep us busy rather than to continue this proposition of competition by a neighbor against a neighbor." WATCHED MONOPOLY "MERGE AND MERGE" W. J. Bryan Says When Trust Was Doubtful It Asked Roose velt and He Said Yes LOS ANGELES, Sept. 23.—William Jennings Bryan, who is following in the trail of Colonel Roosevelt,, at his own expense in interest of Governor Wilson, departed from Los Angeles tonight for Sacramento where he ex pects to speak at the State fair to morrow. While here he devoted many Word to Roosevelt's candidacy. From tarly morning until late in the atter noon he kept busy speaking, although only four addresses had been sched uled. Discussing Roosevelt and the trusts, Bryan said that Roosevelt had de clared that the trusts had come to ■itay and that he denounced the Demo crats for wanting to make it impos sible for private monopoly to exist. Roosevelt, he said, just wanted to "regulate." He declared Roosevelt had watched monopoly "merge and merge" and when it got to In* a doubtful point when it didn't know Whether It could merge or not It went to him and asked him, and he said, ••Yes, merge." Bryan, apparently referring to what he recently termed "stolen planks" of democrats, said: "Wln-re Roosevelt's position Is good on na tional issues, Democrats have been there long before him. I think it would bo only fair if Rosevelt would do with issues like they sometimes do jaith eggs, mark a date on them." The Yakima Herald.

The entire expenses of the trip | were paid from their earnings in working land at an agricultural I school. Dr. P. P.

What the Democrats Have Been Doinsf FoT Years*"' SCRANTON, Pa., Sept. 23.—-Gov ernor Wilson rodo through rainy Pennsylvania today. Campaigning as he went and addressing thousands of persons, who crowded wayside stations to see him. He arrived here at six o'clock tonight and participated in an umbrella parade to the armory where a big meeting was hold. Prom tho moment tho democratic candi date crossed the state line at Phil lipsburg and stopped al Easton, Del aware, Watergap, Portland and Stroudsburg, there were umbrella covered crowds to greet him. Mr. Wilson again today ridiculed the contention of his opponents that tho Democratic party did not have the Interests of the country at heart. He asserted that Pennsylvania voters who had long been suspicious of the Democratic party showed signs of turning away from the party that had not satisfied the people and entrust Its confidence to the party that is now seeking a new set of policies in order that the country as a whole may be served. "The Republicans are not even satisfying themselves," said Mr.' Wilson. He declared there was evidently "some family trouble" in the Repub lican party, and expressed the, belief that It does not know exactly what it wants to do. He said that tlinne "who have been with us for sixteen years have seen exactly what vv.rn coming in the year 1912." He said he wanted it noted that the Demo cratic party has had substantially lis present program of returning the government to the people for more than sixteen years. Sells Many l(o»s "I have been thinking," said H, Stanley Coffin yesterday, '.about a •tatcment I saw in your paper from Mr. H. H. Ward, of Portland, in which he told of millions of dollars sent from the Pacific coast annually east of the Rocky mountains for 'logs anil have been wondering why we people In the Yakima valley cannot get more of it than we do. Incident ally 1 have been figuring to deter mine how much money I have re ceived myself this season from hogs sold from our Wenas ranch and I find that we have sold close to $2000 worth. "Those figures were a surprise to me for, as you know, we make no pretense at raising hogs and those we have sold are merely those We raised incidentally on the ranch. They do not mean any special Investment for they have been fed alfalfa and hay grown on the premises and noth ing mure.

These forces are evident ly trying to force the prices down while the fruit is yet in tho hands of tho producers so they may be able to buy at their own prices. Reports received by tho State Horticultural Society from other societies and experiment stations In all parts of the country, as well as the government reports, show but a slight increaso over 1911 and the quality not so good. Selling associations and co-opera tion among the producers are what are needed to cope'with tho shrewd dealers in apples. The commercial growers of purely fruit sections where the growers are organized for selling their fruit pay no at tention to such reports as they "keep wise" to the situation, but the growers of this section, who are not organized are up against it nt the present time. AFFECTIONATE INDIAN CHARGED WITH THEFT Will Not Allow Saddle Out of Sight When Charged With Stealing It Seated on a black, medium weight saddle which, it is charged he had stolen along with a horse and bridle on September 18, William Cree, a sturdy Indian about fifty years old, protested his innocence in the county jail yesterday. The saddle had been found in his possession, according to Deputy Sheriff James Dew, who ar rested free in Yakima City yesterday afternoon, and when brought to the jail Cree, asserting that the saddle was rightfully his, would not allow it out ">■ his sight and preferred it to any thing Mr. Dew could offer in the Jail in the way of chafrs. It was finally shown to Cree that the court would decide the ownership of the property and the mere fact that In- would In- relieved of the saddle un til that time vvuiild not necessarily mean that be Would not SSS it again. 'Iln- saddle was then placed in the Storeroom and the Indian accepted a chair. Tin- complainant against eras is U. E. Betes, whu asserts he owns the liiirsi. and saddle.

Mr. De Jarnette de clared that with a seventy-five acre farm, soon to be purchased, the boy. and girls will be able to earn their own living while attending school.

TALK OF YAKIMA MAN FOR SUPREME COURT Lawyers Speak of Judge Preble to Fill Vacancy But Nothing ■ Done Although there is talk Unit North Yakima should be represented on the Supremo Court bench of the State, no action has been taken and nunc is being immediately contemplated by members of the bar In tlii.s vicinity, so far as can lie learned. It was stated yesterday by a prominent attorney nf the city that there was a general feel ing that the Yakima and Kittitas val leys should have a man In Ibis place, The argument advanced for Ibis is that (he irrigation country should be represented. There is some puzzle ment at present concerning Ihe method of electing or appointing a SUOO6SSOI to Judge Dunbar, whose death last week created the vacancy and there is, therefore, a hsitation evident in advancing a candidate fur the place until this situation is mads clear. The general mlxup it was pointed out was due to the fact that JU Ige Dunbar was a nominee for re-election at the time of his death. The name most frequently men tioned locally in connection with the place at present is that of Supi 11 n Court Judge Preble. It may be, a North Yakima, lawyer stated yester day, that tho sltuntiiin will arise where the appointment of Judge Preblo to the place would be feasible and logical. Tbe argument beard out side against Yakima getting the va cancy is that as the Supreme Court bench stands at present the country this side of the mountains has the majority, five to four, and only one third of tho population. With ths naming of a man from North Yak ima the count would bs six to three, it was pointed out. suvo the Pheasants Golden pheasants hays begun to feed themselves In the Yakima valley. Half a dozen pairs were released at various time by Pstsr Bach, of l-'ruil vale, some Intentionally and Some by accident, and a few of the birds es caped at other times from other fanciers in this valley. These birds have taken kindly to their frssdom, have mated and raised their brum! and tho young have besn reported from sections as widely separated B4 tho .Selah and the Ahtanum. I. H. Dills, who has been making an Inquiry, is satisfied thst the birds will readily propagate themselves In this country. They arc much less nervous than the Chinese pheasants, are a good game bird, are not _•• etructivc and are very beautiful. "1 hope," said Mr Dills, "that when the law is taken off for fifteen days that Chinese phsssants may bs bunt ed that tin- boys and the new sports men will make it a point nut tv shoot at the Guldens. The old sportsmen who knuw how few the birds are will, I know, refrain fiuin pupping at them, 1 think the birds ought tv be given another few season but uf course they win be in great danger during tho open season If wo do mil Unit* In agreeing to let them pass unharmed."
