The Truth Unidentified

In Its report of an address Of Rev
Walter Laidlaw published in the Troy
Times and reproduced in a recent mum.
ber Of the HERALD, the speaker was
incorrectly quoted. In u subsequent
issue of the Times, Mr.. Laidlaw makes
the following corrections
My Dear Tlmes:-Allow me to correct a
few inadvertent, but yet important, errors
IN your otherwise excellent account, In
Mondays issue, Of my words concerning
the state OF Washington. Some Of these
errors discount the truth, others give
truths awry, with unlawful usury. Dis
counted truths: "A single section OF
Washington, the Palouse region, 5000, 900
acres, will annually produce as much
wheat as the United States has ever ex
ported in single year. The timber OF
Washington will make "pile OF boards
thirty feet high, twelve feet wide, around
the equator. Augmented statements:
There are "one million" acres OF coal
fields. The coal Is mostly "semi"- bit
luminous. We have $4,000 towards the
erection OF buildings, landed endowments
worth 10000 and certain soon TO advance
TO s2JO,OO In value, and an immed late In
come OF 5000 per annum, Irrespective OF
tuition fees. We shall probably start
with faculty Of ten irst-class profess
ors.
The quotations Indicate the vital part
OF the changes In statement.
Sincerely yours,
WALTER LAIDLAw.

New YORK, Jan, 2O-A Times spec
ial from Macon, Ga. says: A curious
story was brought to light today. For
over year Reed Lumsden had been
paying attentions TO Miss May Lone.
Prior to Lumsden's suit, c. Avant had
been attentive to her, but he had ceased
attentions. A few nights ago Mr..
Avant received a message from NJ iss
Lone, requesting that he join her at
the residence of Mr.. Beggs and escort
her home. He joined the young lady
and they walked leisurely up Walnut
street passing man standing in the
middle CT the street. They had not
proceeded much further when footsteps
were heard behind them. Before Avant
and his companion had an opportunity
of realizing what had happened, Miss
Lone was accosted by the man who
had overtaken them. "Is this Miss
Lone?'' he asked, almost instantly her
eye fell upon the barrel of revol-
yer. The fright of the young woman
did Ifot disconcert the man with the
revolver, who now addressed question
to Avant, Is this Mr.. Avant?" Avant
recognized him as Lumsden, Lumsden
fired at Avant, whose presence Of mind
saved him, for he made sudden move
ment TO one side as the report rang out,
Miss Lone then threw herself forward
and clutched Lumsden, while Avant
endeavored to reach for revolver, be-
fore he could produce II the young
woman released her hold OF Lumsden,
who ran away at full speed.

warships for the Pacific

HALIFAX, N. s., Jan. 2O-The first.
class battle ship Temeraire, now in the
Davenport dock yard, will be dis
patched February 2S to Esquimalt, B.
c., as sea-golng guard ship, strength
ening the squadron at the Pacific sta
ton. This will In no way affect the
selection of the new flag ship to relieve
the Warspite. The Russians have now
powerful vessel stationed in the Pa
cific, and it is understood that, in addi-
ton to the Temeraire, first-class YES
sci, either the Blake or the Royal Ar
thur, will be dispatched to that station.
These preparations seem TO indicate
that England is expecting trouble in
the Pacific, as 1t is a very rare thing
for battle ship to be stationed in these
waters,

ALLEN GAINS -FOUR VOTES
Two More Ballots Taken for Senator
at Olympia
THREE TURNER MEN GO OVER
Edens, OF skagit. and Sargeant, Kelly
and Shade, Of Pierce, Vote
for Allen

OLYMPIA, Jan. 2O-The fifth day of
balloting for United States senator
began today at ~ o'clock. AS the
moment approached for beginning the
call of the dreary roll, look Of mex
pressible disgust could be seen on the
faces of senators and representatives,
and it was apparent that every blessed
one of them wished the monotony was
over. All were present at the APP
pointed time, except Sergeant, of
Pierce. The roll call of the twenty-first
ballot then began. When the:name of
Senator Edens, of Skagit, was called
he arose to explain his vote. He said
that nearly two-thirds of the senators
and representatives favored the re-
election of Allen, and while he was
always ready to fight with minority,
he did not believe in standing out
against so large majority, and there
fore he should vote for John b. Allen.
Tremendous applause greeted this an
nouncement. The next TO follow
Eden's example was Kelly, of Pierce.
He also voted for Allen, and for a
moment the din was deafening. The
vote on this, the first ballot of the day
and the twenty-first of the session,
stood as follows: Allen 40, Turner &c,
Griggs 20, Teats 8.
The roll call of the twenty-second
ballot then proceeded. When the
name of Sergeant, of Pierce, was called
he voted for Allen, and then the Allen
members turned themselves loose. In
vain the chairman pounded on his
desk. The rapping of the gavel could
scarcely be heard for the roar. Sar-
geant voted steadily for Wilson yester-
day. In this ballot Shadle, of Pierce,
also arose and explained his vote. Like
Senator Edens, he had also voted for
Turner, but now would vote for Allen.
If Bedlam had broken loose the pande-
monium could not have been greater.
After order was restored the roll call
proceeded. Allen gained four votes
during the two ballots, and the Turner
forces evidently feared stampede, as
they fought hard for one ballot only
today. The twenty-second ballot
stood as fellows: Allen 81, Turner 25,
Griggs q, Teats 8.
Just before the joint session ad
journed McCroskey, of Whitman, Of
fered q resolution relative to the elec-
ton Of United States senators by pop
ular vote. Only eight members voted
against the adoption of the resolution.

Possibilities of Fruit Culture in West
ern Washington
TO DEFEAT THE BARS BILL
A Petition Protesting Against the Ap.
pointment OF An Additional
Judge

AhIiClpdIiOHb Vi prosperity WHICH
are to follow the completion of great
enterprises should not cause people to
overlook the benefits which might arise
from the prosecution Of smaller and
more diversified industries. 1t is "A
curious fact that 30 little attention has
been given in Western Washington to
the business Of fruit raising. Much has
been written on the subject, and the
capabilities Of the country for produc-
ing fruits of almost all kinds are set
forth In high colors in almost every
advertisement sent out with view to
stimulating the market for real estate,
but in the real business Of fruit farming,
but in the practical matter Of fruit rails
ing almost nothing has been accom-
plished. True, there are some fruit
trees, and bushes, and vines, generally
not well selected and ordinarily not
well cultivated. They are for "our
own use.p
In all that large section of country
lying between the international bound
airy line and the Columbia river, and
the table lands of the Cascade mount
aims and Puget Sound, there is not an
acre of ground upon which cannot be
grown OF the best quality and In enor-
nous quantities, apples, cherries,
plums, prunes, pears and all the smaller
fruits and berries, and yet not only Is
there no fruit produced for shipment,
but large quantities are brought 10 our
markets from Oregon and California.
This is not because fruit. cannot be
produced here in quantity and quality
for home consumption and for the
markets of other states open to us
The reasons are plainly that heretofore
real estate Investments and specula-
tions have had a tendency TO divert the
attention Of the people from the estab-
lishment of many of those industries
which seem TO require more patience,
and slower methods in the matter of
accumulating wealth, and because the
profits of the business to the individual
and its great wealth 10 the country are
perhaps not well understood. Illus
trative of this point the following from
the Seattle Press-Times is interesting:
One OF the most recent and strongest ex-
amples OF what may be accomplished by
US In the way OF small fruit farming came
from Mr.. G. G. Miller, who lives near Ia
coma. This gentleman has little patch
OF fourteen acres cultivated and divided
as follows: Seven TO Strawberries, the
remainder set 10 currents, raspberries,
gooseberrles and black berries.

Is Just being brought into cultivation, Mr..

sults: One thousand eight hundred and
