The State Of Washington

Is known as the Evergreen State because
of its vast forests. Outside of the limited
areas of BIG TREES in California, there are
no such forests Of pine, fir, hemlock, spruce,
cedar. ETC., as are found here. The trees
ars long and straight, and the massive tim
bers and fine shingles made from them are
shipped all over the world.
Washington Fruit is q product of great
value: Its flavor and color are unsurpassed.
East of the Cascade mountains, the climate
is dry and warm, and irrigation is neces-
sary. This makes the farmer independent
of rain. West of the mountains irrigation
is unnecessary and the rainfall is ample for
all purposes. Canneries and fruit drying
establishments can be operated, profitably
in this state. Grain, hops and alfalfa are
very profitable crops, and beet sugar is
rapidly making Roadway. ~
Washington is q coming empire. Brains
are in demand in all professions, and labor
is wanted and is paid remunerative prices.
Fuel. coal as we'll as wood, is abundant and
cheap. Schools and churches abound, the
state is well supplied with railways. Gs
Varied attitudes and climates render this
country desirable place of residence, and
oil can be suited.

burning philippics to Mrs Mary Sells,
is not dead but is coming to Columbus

and he probably will be. There has
been no subpoena issued for him, and
he is coming voluntarily to the de-
tense Of Mrs. Sells
Ned IS a grandfather and his head
is now nearly white. He is in the far
west, an honored citizen and a we'll
known scientist
A collection OF the finest minerals of
the great and bOundless territories has
been gathered by his own hands; the
hand said to have penned the Irish
stories and the large adjectlVed eplSIleS.
This is regarded as a master stroke
of the defense and it is expected that
when he takes the stand he will do so

down as a brilliant conversationalist as

well imagine the sensation his testimony

Says He VIII Prosecute Gam

City Attorney Bird will prosecute the
gamblers caught by the police early
Sunday morning under the Cubbison
law, which makes gambling a peniten-
tiary offense. IF this is done it will be
the first time that the Cubbison law
has been used in Topeka in the prose-
cution of gamblers. A gambler was con-
victed under the law at Hutchinson
Chief Stahl and his officers raided
the gambling place of Mike THOMPSON.
on Kansas avenue between Seventh and
Eighth streets, and Harvey Wheeler's
place in North Topeka, and TWENTY-FIVE
gamblers were arrested and gave ficti-
tlous names. They were required to put
up cash bonds of SO each while the two

arrested were not taken to the police
station by the police, but after putting
up the cash bond in the hands of the
police where they were arrested were
allowed to go. Now the police have a
list of twenty-five fictitious names, and
rested. Among those who are known to
the police are Wood Fowler, '"Tobe''
Tobias, Bob Shelby, 'Joe'' Handy.
and Fred Simmons.
The gamblers applied to Police Judge
MagaW to have their money refunded

be allowed to give paper bonds instead

shall sign the bonds, and Judge Magaw
announced that If the men would sign
