STATE INSPECTOR ANGRY

North Yakima.-Orlando Beck. the
present county horticultural inspec.
tor of Yakima, may lose his place, as
charges Of inefficiency and incompe-
tence, have been preferred against
him by State Horticultural Inspector
A. Van Holderbeke, before the Horti
cultural Union of this county, which
body indOrsed Mr.. Beck for appoint
ment.
Mr.. HOlderbeke made his charges
70 the secretary of the union and ask
ed that body take steps to have him
ousted. The union refused to do this
as the members say it is the place OF
he state Inspector to make the remov
al. Mr.. Holderbeke will likely act il
the matter in a few days.
The charges are that Mr.. Beck has
not been attending to business. He
nas. it is alleged, been attending tC
private business as against the bust
ness of the office he holds. One O.
the most serious complaints is to tnt
effect that Mr.. Beck has not inspect
ed the fruit sent out of the ware
house here. Much scaly fruit has beer
shipped, it is alleged, against tn,
state law, and the state inspecto
wants to stop the practice.

It is the duty of the prosecuting at
torney to file an information charging
him with the former conviction. II
he is convicted the second time the
sentence imposed must be at least
twice that of the term that he has
served in the penitentiary; the third
conviction results in life imprison-
ment.
Blaine will not be the first to be
sentenced in this county under the
law, but he is the first who refused to
plead guilty to the information charg-
ing him with the former conviction.
The refusal TO plead guilty compels
the impaneling jury to decide the
question Of a former conviction.
1t is thought that Blaine will at
tempt to escape upon technically.
The law provides that a person con-
victed for the second time of a felony
must be brought into court five days
after his second conviction and
charged with the former conviction.
This was not done in Blaine's case.
His second conviction occurred July
30; Immediately after the jury re-
turned this verdict Judge Griffin adj
journed court until September 2.
The. question whether the lapse of
more than five days provided by the
statute will render void the cumula-
tive sentence act will probably be

Blaine, or Ryan, was convicted on
July 80 of robbing Alexander F'riberg
while the latter was drunk in sa-
loon below Yesler way. The barten-
der happened to look into the box and
saw Blaine searching the intoxicated
man.
When Blaine committed the crime
he had been out of Walla Walla less
than three months. Under the name
of James Ryan Blaine served three
years in the penitentiary tor one OF
the most daring robberies ever COM
mitted in Seattle. Ryan and an &C
complete in 1889 went into the Drum
saloon on Second avenue, which was
situated between Marion and Column
bia streets, held up the bartender and
took his personal effects. They then
rifed the cash register AS they went
out the back door the bartender gave
the alarm and Detective Byrnes and
Sergeant Leighton captured Ryan in
a heap of rubbish behind the Collins
block

James Blaine Demands Jury to De

Seattle.-James Blaine alias James
Ryan. who was convicted on July 80
of larceny from the person. was on
Thursday brought before Judge Grit
fin in the superior court to answer
to an information under the cumula-
tive sentence law. charging him with
having served one term in the pen
itentiary for robbery. To this infor.
nation Blaine pleaded not guilty, and
according to the law jury was EN-
paneIed to decide whether Blaine is
the person who. under the name OF
James Ryan, served a term in the pen
itentiary.
Police Sergeant Leighton and De
tective James Byrnes, who arrested
Ryan for the crime for which h,
served three years in Walla Walla

Ryan are the same person. and tina
he had served a term already in Wa

LOVE TO CONQUER DRUG.
Victims of Morphine Habit, in Love
With Each Other, Seek Medical
Relief

New York, Sept 25.-Because OF
their great love for each other, a
young woman and her iance have
made themselves practical prisoners
in Bellevue hospital until both are
cured of the morphine habit.
The two say they are engaged tC
marry. Both had fallen under the
power Of the drug habit. 1t is believed
the names under which they are reg
istered were fictitious and that they
intend to keep their identity secret.
When the young man and the cir
walked into the hospital, the cir
seemed scarcely able to support her
self. Her companion was stronger
but was visibly nervous and his face
was pale and drawn.

Work Being Rushed.

AS only two days more are to
elapse before the opening Of the fair,
merchants who have arranged for
booths this year and the side show

in readiness. A small army Of work

Ballou is getting along spIendidly
with his work Of decorating the build

made within another day or so. The
decorations in the main building in
which evergreens and asparagus pre-
dominate largely are about finished
and the work of decorating the band
stand will be the next work to take
up and complete. Huge masses of
asparagus have been employed
throughout in the decorations and the
effect is unique as we'll as handsome.

W.C.T.U. PROTESTS
Follows the Action of the
Ministerial Union.
AGAINST FAIR OPENING ON SUNDAY

Already Made Must Be Carried Out.
AGAINST FAIR OPENING ON SUNDAY
Management Declares Original Dates

Following the action of the Minis
terial Union of Walla Walla the Wo-
mans Christian Temperance Union of
this city has entered protest against
the keeping open of the Whlla Walla
Fruit Fair on Sunday. The union
took no further action than to send
a written communication to the man
agement signed by the president and
secretary of the association. No eff
fort was made to secure the signatures
of members of the union Or those of
citizens.
Though it can certainly be said that
the action of the two religious orga1i-
cations in openly protesting against
the opening of the fair on Sunday has
caused strained relations in certain
quarters, the original dates set by the
fair management, September % to
October inclusive, will be adhered
to. The contract with Ellery's band
was signed long before the Ministerial
union or the W. C. T. L. took action
and the management feels that mas
much as the full terms Of the contract
will have to be carried out, there is
no reason why one days receipts
should be lost, possibly causing a
deficit
Furthermore all arrangements have
been completed for running an excur-
sion from Pendleton on the Sunday
under discussion and to close the fair
on that day would entail consider
able loss as it is estimated that fully
800 people will take advantage of the
low fare and visit Walla Waua on
that day

For the past week a party of young
men of the Finnish extraction have
been indulging in a ear-splitting
charivari on Harvey street. the OccaS-
ion being the marriage Of one of their
number, Emil Bjorkman Il week ago.
The first evening the matter was one
of sport and popularity but Bjorkman
refused to 'dig" after which it be-
came tantaliziug matter. The resi-
dents of the street became tired of
the continuous nightly din and lodg-
ed complaint with the authorities.
Tuesday evening the police gave the
crowd warming to desist but no sooner
were their backs turned than the
music again made night hideous. A
raid follwed and two were captured.
The prisoners walked peaceablv to
the Jail door but refused to enter in
which refusal they were supported by
several Of their crowd. However.
Officer LaBeau landed them and
Wednesday they were brought before
Judge Cosgrove and fined. Thos.
Ojala paid $3.50 and Sam Osta and
Ed. Nixon each $3.50. Wednesday
evening it was reported that Il crowd
who we're prepared to fight would
again attempt their purpose but bet
ter counsel prevailed and no attempt
was made. The affair is to be re-
GREETED 1t is customary to serenade
newly married couple and it is also
customary for the couple to pay slight
tribute. Bjorkman showed poor
judgement in not doing the custom
airy honors on the occasion and the
boys showed poor judgement in vio-
lating the instructions of the police.
We hope the affair is closed. Had
the crowd attempted to carry out
their purpose Wednesday evening,
trouble of dangerous sort would
have been imminent.

Ore Deposit Values.

Speaking of the ore holdings of the
steel corporation, the Philadelphia
News Bureau, after reviewing several
recent sales of iron properties on the
Mesaba range says:
The ores involved in these sales are
much below the average intrinsic
value of Lake Superior ores, but all
the old-range high grade ores were
gobbled up long ago by the various
ore and furnace interests, and do not
figure in the market at all.
II a lean non-Bessemer ore. averag-
ing say So per cent iron. comparatiV-
ely expensive to mine, is against ores
which can be mined by stripping or
exist in very large underground de-
pOsitS, is worth 40 cents royalty,
then the rich ores, running from 60
to IS per cent aud easily mined,
ought to be worth from 81 to 81 in
the ground.
The subsidiary mining companies
of the steel corporation have been
turning down properties right along
where there is a cash payment to be
made at time of taking lease and let
ting the properties go to Others, yet
in general the corporation could use
these ores to better advantage than
could most outsiders, if we except
the Snyder interests. 1t is not as one
might suppose, a rule subject to no
conditions that the richer and purer
an ore the better. The best ores in
the Lake Superior region are so pure
that they do not furnish Stag enough
in the blast furnace, and such pure
ores must be mixed with limited
quantities of less pure ore to make
the right mix.
When the proportion of leaner ore
rises above the desired point, the
quantity Of coke aud fiuX required
increases so fast that the cost of max
ing pig iron advances rapidly. The
corporation having the richest ores
can use leaner ores to advantage.
Thus the valuation of dollar
ton on his ore by ]. J. Hill is not
really excessive, as while his ores
are all Mesaba so are the ores whose
sale is noted above, while Hills ores
comprise some Of the very best on the
range, and they are to be paid for
simply as mined. the guarantee of
freight for the Hill roads mot being
onerous, and being the only nearby
payment demanded of the steel cor
poration.
On this basis also the valuation of
a dollar u ton on the corporations
ore is conservative rather than excess
sive, They are the pick of the whole
district, which are worth more than
Mesaba. The only question about
them is their present value, their in
trinsic value being well established.
They are represented DY interest
bearing securities outstanding, and
the question Of ore as mined earning
the interest on ore to be mined for
years hence we have already discussed
showing that profits made on ore
alone as mined would pay interest on
and retire the 1905 200, 900 of bonds.
and leave enough to retire the other
securities outstanding in SO years,
with good margin to spare, leaving
the earnings of the various operations
beyond mining to dividends on the
remaining securities.

1t may be that the quality of imagi-

Salem merchants who attempted in
1912 to introduce American ice into
London. One of them tried to attain
this end by demonstrating the merits

ages of his native land. The members
of the Bishmongers' association, pre-

The Charge at Marengo.

AS an instance Of magnificent blum
dering, sung by poets and treasured in
story, no record is ever likely to come
up to that of the Light brigade in the
Crimean war. But, perhaps, most re-
markable was Kellerman's charge at
Marengo. From daybreak till late aft
ernoon the Austrians had the best Of it.

is completely lost" adding, "but 1t is
only 4 O'Clock. There is time to gain
