The Price of Coal.

SAN Francisco, October 12.-Refer-
ring to the combination reported to have
been formed by the two big coal-mining
corporations of British Columbia and
the predicted increase in the price of
coal, an evening paper says: To allay
the fears of San Francisco consumers we
may state that no advance here need be
expected. The city is full of coal, the
harbor is full of it, and large quantities
of it are on the way. On board ships in
the harbor are over 5000 tons, for which
storage room cannot be found, and there
are Is 900 tons on the way from Cardiff,
1000 on the way from Newcastle and 49,
600 from Glasgow, Kutchinotzu, Japan,
and other ports.

Last of Casey,s Scouts.

OMAHA, October 1.-THE last men,
bers of troop D. Sixth Cavalry, were dis
charged at Fort Omaha to-day. This is
the Indian company known as the Casey
scouts, the only instance of the kind in
the United States history. 1t seems to
be demonstrated that the members do
not take kindly to soldier life and are
not as contented as they were in the
more independent life as scouts. In or
ganizing Troop L the Indians were all
taken from the Cheyennes, which COM
posed Casey's scouts, and in honor of
the young officer it was designated
Casey's scouts. By the discharge Major
Fechet, Senior Major of the regiment,
now at Fort Mckinney, is left without q
command.

FORFEITED THEIR SEATS.
Refused to Take the Oath of Allegiance
to the Emperor.

Refused to Take the Oath of Allegiance
to the Emperor.
BERLIN, October 13.-Deputy Bueb and
young Oppler, both Social Democrats,
have refused to take the oath of allegi-
ance to the Emperor before entering the
Provincial Council in Strasburg, and
thus have forfeited the seats to which
they were elected recently. Their objec-
ton to the oath was that it was at vari-
ance with their republican principles.
There is much curiosity to know whether
Bueb and Oppler are acting on new
principle of their party or merely on
their own responsibility. Neither Bethel
nor Liebknecht has ever refused to take
the oath upon entering the public bodies
to which they have been elected.

gon and British Columbia will run to
this city. The Northern Pacific has
made an excursion rate of $40 from
Walla Walla. $3.50 from Ellensbure and
North Yakima and $3.50 from Portland

A Problem Solved.

Happy is the man who in the evening
OF hi life can look out on the world from
under the shadow of his own peach tree.
A well-developed twenty-acre irrigated
farm means competency for any man,
and in his declining years he is in pos
session OF fully paid-up policy against
the heartless raps of poverty and old age.
This is all the average man can hope for
and great deal more than most of them
get. This country offers this class of
proposition in its most improved form.
The trouble is, first people expect too
much on the start; they are not willing
to work and wait for results. Another
trouble is the newcomer, being wholly
unacquainted with irrigation, does not
lind himself successful the first year and
is apt to become discouraged.

WASHINGTON, October IA. - An en-
phatic denial was made to-day by Com
missioner of Pensions Lochren of state
ment published in the West that he had
sent letters to Democratic postmasters,
stating that communications concerning
pensions will be held as confidential, if
requested, or if of a nature requiring
them to be so held. He said: "I neither
sent out such letter nor do know of
a communication of that character being
officially sent out from here. We have
never sought the records of pensioners
in that way. The story is purely fabri-

Tell the Truth.

The corporations owning large tracts
of irrigated lands have many important
questions confronting them, and will
necessarily be required to use good
amount of horse sense. One thing is to
get the settler here, another is to keep
him, and in order for the company to
succeed the settler must do likewise;
consequently the relations between the
two must be very close and intimate.
All land agents who for the sake of max
ing sale misrepresent the true condi-
tions are beyond doubt a detriment to
the whole proposition. No good thing
was ever gained without labor, no great
victory without a struggle, and on the
same line no ten or twenty-acre tract was
ever made beautiful and prosperous with
out a great deal of hard work, economy
and diligence. Do not listen for mo-
ment to any one who tells you you can
win in the Yakima country without work,
for it is false. When the stranger comes
to our land tell him the truth, which is
plenty good enough for anybody. Let
the companies look closely after the set
tier, help him, encourage him, show him
how to irrigate, see that his inexperience
does not cost him money-in fact, stand
right by him. It's cold business to do
it, for then the companies get their pay,
and the farmer makes money, which he
is entitled to. One cannot succeed with
out the other. No true friend of Yak
ina ever claimed that twenty-dollar
pieces grew on the sage brush, and
man would be fool to believe any such
rot.
The true facts are these: Yakima
county offers bona-fde inducements to
the right kind of people, who will work,
save and attend to their own business.
Farming by irrigation is the sure way to
farm. Our climate, soil, location and
markets all point to success, and as the
country has passed the experimental
stage and is reality with good, plain
talk on both sides and kind, friendly
feeling all around, Yakima's irrigated
lands are sure winner, and so is the
settler.

BATEMAN ARRESTED.
On Suspicion of Robbing Phil-
Inns Store.


Ever since Phillips store, at Cedar
vile, was robbed, Prosecutor Logue
has been using his utmost endeavors
to arrest those whom he had evidence
against as being participants.
A couple of arrests were early made,
the victims being John Mcneil and
John Gray. They were discovered
with part OF the goods stelen from
the store.
Charles Bateman, the notorious.
was discovered also to be party to
the crime. He has been out of State
Prisou but about four weeks, only ten
days previous to the robbing of the
store. Detectives were put upon
Bateman's. track, and he was located
first In Camden and Philadelphia, but
he managed to elude the officers.
Prosecutor Logue arranged with
Superintendent Linder, of Philadel-
phia, to have the General Delivery
window, of the post office watched.
and on Saturday Bateman was arrest
ed by this officer and locked up.
r QUESTION papers Will be taken out
this week by the Prosecutor, and 1t Is

Two Sentences Imposed in COurf

In Court Thursday afternoon there
was very little done, and the session
lasted less than an hour. The lawyers
In the Clifton will case finished their
arguments, and the Court very
promptly gave decision, ordering the
Surrogate to admit the will to probate
and ordering the. costs to be paid out
of the estate. This does not include
counsel fees, the Court refusing to per
init the estate becoming responsible
for these fees. Mr.. Struble represent
ing the caveators, SCENE to be much
surprised at the action of the Court,
but had little to say regarding the
matter.
Annie Pierce, the colered woman,
and the young man Henry Orator.
were brought In jail for sentence.
Hon. Thoe. W. Trenchard appeared
before the Court and stated that he
desired to address the Court In refer.
ence to Annie Pierce, and the young
lawyer made a most convincing and
effective argument.
He stated that he had had no COZ
nection with the case until the pres
ent time, and he had been retained by
friends of the woman and her brothers
He stated that Annie Pierce was a wo
man of thirty-six years of age, and
had a daughter thirteen years old.
Owing to the desertion of her husband
at the birth of her child, Annie hes
been compelled to support herself, and
all these years had sustained a home
of her own at Springtown. He said
that much of the time the woman had
been employed as a cook, having stu
ations In the homes of David P. e.
mer, James w. Trenchard. Job Bacon
and Richard Lott. In all of these
places she had worked for more than
a year, showing that heretofore she
must have had good reputation to
have been harbored In such highly re-
spectacle families.
This was her first offense, never be-
fore having been arrested. And an
other point Mr.. Trenchard dweiled
upon at some length, was the fact that
she had already suffered considerable
punishment for crime, a gun shot
wound making 1t almost an absolute
necessity to remove her arm by ampu-
tation, according to the statement of
her very reputable physician.
In view of all these facts, Mr.. Tren-
chard urged the Court to be merciful,
netting cut to the woman only such
punishment as seemed necessary.
The Court then held short consul.
tation, and called Henry Orator to the
bar. He had pleaded guilty to steal.
ing $1.30 and was..s entenced to thirty
days in the county jail.
The Court then addressed Annie
Pierce. Judge Hoagland recalled the
fact that she had pleaded guilty to at
tempting to steal chickens after fore
ing an entrance to William g. Mons
coop. As far as the Court had any
knowledge this was the woman's first
offense. She had never been In Court,
and yet this Court had always consid-
ed 1t a duty to severely punish any
one engaged In the business OF chicken
stealing.
In this case the woman had suffered
considerable punishment, and under
all the circumstances the Court
thought that lighter punishment
than usual might be imposed, and
Annie was sentenced to four months
in jail.
Court then adjourned for the term
and there will be no further session
until May.

has been broken, and last night dis
charged the officers and released the
tug boat.
Last night the oystermen who had
been arrested inquired if the tug had
gone away, and whea informed that
it had, declared their intention of
going back on the grounds and dredge
for the disputed oysters.
Capt. zsb Polhamus went down to
Newport yesterday, and gave another
! $1,000 bail and then said that to-day he

Capt. James Candy still stands guard
over his grounds. He has thrown up
breastwork upon the beach and de,
clares that he will fire upon any boat
that attempts to work upon his
grounds.
1t would seem that the end Is moi
yet, and If the o. sters are to be saved
many more arrests must be made. The
oystermen are determined, and they
declare that the arrests will not deter
them from continuing fishing upon
these grounds.
