story of Tom n,anck,. life.

George Howe, the confidant OF Tom
Blanck, tells the hidden secrets that sur
rounded the now dead murderer and des-
perado in little book, which has been
put on sale in Seattle. Blanck's true
name was Thomas Hamilton Blake, born
near Rotterdam, Schenectady county,
New York, in 1886. In 1873 the family
moved to Lampasas Springs, Texas.
Blanek's father was killed in 1873 by one
Joe Green in dispute over mavericks.
Despite the fact that the story is one of
crime, it will have its attractions for the
morbidly curious reader. In the book
are recounted innumerable robberies, not
to speak Of the hslf-dozen murders. Ac-
cording to the book, Blanck killed man
in 1880, and again in 1881 killed the
sheriff of La Plata county, Colo, and
later killed man in hold-up on the San
Juan river, N. M. He next killed stage
driver near Fort Steele, B. q. Next
Blanck held up the Broadwater hotel, at
Helena, and killed deputy sheriff at
Meaderville, Mont, and policeman at
Butte. These, with the Puyallup and
Seattle murders, ended the category of
crime Of the desperate.

Olive Franks, arrived from North Yaki-

previous.
G. l.. Whitney the Walla Walla nur-

acres in the vicinity Of Prosser which
will at once be planted to fruit trees.
VIM. Dandonelle, Henry Oldenstadt,
Nelson Rich, o. s. Brown, William
Gerard, M. A. Ward and Hugh Gray were
North Yakima visitors on Monday, the
former making proof on his desert claim.
G. H. Denley, the Prosser hardware
merchant, has commenced work on an
attractive residence in his home town.
The divine passion is responsible for this
building movement which promises to
result in the Prosser Falls Irrigation COM
pany losing one of its most valued en-
ployes.
The valuable land claim across the
river from Prosser, which was wrested
from Col. w. F. Prosser in contest
brought in the name of Mrs. Johnson,
sister Of that long coat-tailed fraud. Rev?
John A. Walker, is again in dispute.
This time the contest is brought by
George Finn on the grounds OF abandon
ment, Mrs. johnson having married and
moved to Seattle, leaving the land in the
possession of Walker.
DIR. G. S. Emery has removed to Bal
lard, King county, having found the
Prcsser neighborhood too healthful for his
profession. DIR. Emery says consumption
has no origin in this climate and persons
afflicted with the disease are benefited
by residence here. Diseases of the res
piratory organs fail to find in Yakima
conditions for propagation and progress;
enteric and miasmatic levers do not orig
mate here, and the climate is especially
beneficial to those subject to rheumatic
troubles and Bright's disease.

AN EDITOR DROWNED.
Among those that were lost was
Henry N. Castle. He was reported
in the cable dispatches to have been
a commissioner sent by the royaIlst
faction in Hawaii to the German
government, which is obviously a
mistake, as he was one of the most
influential men on the missionary
side and after the revolution he was
assaulted and caned by a royaliSt.
He was editor OF the stronges. OF the
republican papers, the Honolulu Ad-
vertiser, and last year was recalled
from a lecturing tour which he was
making in the United States to as
sist in home political affairs. HIS
brief life was full of romance and ad-
venture. He was a born wanderer,
and there was hardly corner OF the
world that he had not visited. he
had made success at the bar and
an even more pronounced success in
journalism before he was 80 years
old, and this in spite of the fact that
a large part of his time was given to
the study of metaphysics, for which
he had rare genius, and which at
tracted him so frequently to Berlin
and Leipsic.
Mr.. Castle was graduated from
Oberlin college in 1888, when he was
20 years old, and was regarded as
one of the most brilliant students
the college had ever had. The very
exuberance and versatility of his tai
ents made it slow in settling to Sc
rious work, and he was further in
terrupted by the political crisis
which lett no leisure for private al
fairs. Henry was married in 1889 in
England, or thereabouts to German
woman of quality. Dorothy Castle,
who is also included in the list OF
cabin passengers, was not, as was
mentioned in the dispatch, his wife,
but his daughter, little girl.
The Castle family is large and prom
inent, and one of his brothers is Will
liam r. Castle, the annexation COM
missioner to this country, and an
other, James B. Castle, collector-gen-
eral of Hawaii. He leaves also an
other daughter-by his second wife,
an American girl-who was born re-
Gently in Philadelphia, and whom he
never saw.

the average detective has little use
for science. perhaps because he
knows nothing about it. There is
one thing about science in crime
which always forces the police to
oppose it, and that is the case with
which the arguments Of one scientist
are torn apart by the other. The

they were based upon facts which

IRRIGATING WITH LITTLE wATEI

Land has to be comparatively level
to be irrigated, even though there is an
abundance of water. 1 do not think
there is any system of irrigation for
high rolling prairie, that is 10 raise
crops of grain, etc. | believe at the
same time the high rolling prairie is
the best adapted for commercial or
chardS, and at the same time there is
no crop that it would be of greater adj
vantage to irrigate in dry times than
an apple. peach, pear or any fruit crop.
Now, l know of a system of irrigation
that could be practiced in every orch
ard and at very small expense.
1t is in operation near FL PaSo, Tex
as. A man has gone out on a piece of
land there which was absolutely des-
ert of sand, on which nothing grew
but an occasional cactus and Spanish
bayonet He sunk a well. put up a
windmill and tank bought a water
wagon and set out a large orchard in
the sand. He took fence boards and
sawed them in pieces about two and
one-half feet long and nailed four of
them together and made a spout of
them. This spout he sunk in thegrOund
at an angle of about 40 degrees, so that
the bottom reached right under the
roots of the trees. He fills his water
wagon, which has a piece of hose on it
for an outlet and drives alongside or
each tree and fills the wooden spout
with water
In the humid region the irrigation
would only have to be given when
needed on account of a dry time.
