Boys Go to Reform School.

William and Clifford Jones, sons of
"Widow" Jones of this city, were COM
mitted to the State reform school by
Judge Chadwick last Saturday, after
hearing the evidence against the boys
and examining Mrs. Jones as to her
ability to care for her offspring. The
mother OF the boys protested against
having her sons sent to the reform
school, but her evidence sho ed that she
is in poor circumstances, being forced to
earn living for herself and large fam
lily of small children. The children are
permitted to roam the streets and in
dulge in all kinds of mischief. The
oldest boy, William, who is fifteen years
of age, has been in the county Jail be-
fore, but was released on promise of
good behavior, which promise he has
repeatedly broken. Sheriff Canutt went
to Chehalis with the boys Monday.
Floyd Shafer, 10 years old, arrested
with the Jones boys, was also examined,
but was not committed. Mrs. Shafer,
the boys mother, appeared in court and
protested against having her son sent to
the reform school. She convinced the
court that she is financially able to care
for the boy, and declared that she would
have him sent to some school where he
would receive proper training, and would
pay his way, and thus save the disgrace
of the reform school. Judge Chadwick
ordered the boy held by Sheriff Canutt
until such time as he should be satisfied
that the child would be cared for as his
mother had promised; otherwise he
will be committed to the reform school.

More About Washington Agriculture

The figures employed by the gov
eminent statisticians to express the
greatness of the farming industry
in the state of Washington are SC
big that it is hard to appreciate
them. Although the census was
taken three years ago, all of the re-
suits of the canvas have not been
published. James H. Blodgett,
statistican of the agricultural de-
partment, has just prepared a paper
showing the relations of population
and food products, basing his con-
clusions on figures made available
by the work of the census year. So
far as his Investigations pertain to
the state of Washington they are
simply marvellous; they tell a won
derful story of rapid and substan-
tial development, unmatched in
any other part of the country, says
the Washington correspondent of
the P.-I.
Take wheat as an example. In
1880 Washington produced less
than 100000 bushels of wheat;
in 1900 the crop amounted to more
than 100000 bushels, and has
since increased to a much larger
figure In 1880 Washington was
twenty.second among all the states
In wheat production; in 1900 it was
eleventh. In the ten years follow
ing 1890 the wheat production of
Washington increased about three
fold; that of Oregon in the same
period increased by about 100000
bushels, or about 60 per cent, while
Valtornia's crop actually decreased
Oyabout 10 per cent. In the num-
Der OF bushels produced per square
mile of area for the state, Washing
ton led all of the states west of the
Dakotas bya big margin. Although
the Increase In population has been
marvellous also, the wheat product
ION per capita in Washington in
l9O0 was fifth among all the states,
being 4O.89 bushels, as against 35.0S
In Oregon and 24.60 in California.
Wonderful as the growth of the
wheat industry has been, the record
mas been exceeded in certain other
INES of agricultural activity. Not
only has there been a great pros
perity In the raising of cereal crops
out In fruits, vegetables and mar
ket gardening also. Theapple crop
increased from 295, 1876 bushels in
1870, to 728,978 bushels in 1900.
Onerrles were produced to the ex-
'ent of SILL bushels in 1900 as
against 1862 bushels in 1890;
pears, 1926 bushels in 1900 as
against 26,S68 in 1890; peaches in
Oreased in annual production from
Oo'49I bushels to $4,000 bushels in
'"e same ten year period. The
most remarkable growth in the
tul' industry, however, was in
pums and prunes. In 1890 the
uop was 66,900 bushels; in 1900 it
was 1892 bushels.
Inc potato crop in Washington
~ 1910 was 3,557,876 bushels, as
against 1,445,01S in 1890. The
market gardening business in Wash
us.on has had phenomenally
spd growth, the natural cause of
ls development being the quick
spOullding of large centers of pop
a'ion onPuget Sound and in other
@s OF the state. In 1880 this

Gigantic lrrigatlOa venture.

The greatest irrigation project
in the United States, and the third
largest in the world, has been
started in Idaho. 1t is under the
management of corporation origi-
mating in Salt Lake City. The
plan contemplates an expenditure
of approximately $5,ooo,ooo, and
the reclamation of 27I 900 acres of
the best agricultural lands in the
great Snake River Valley of South
ern Idaho.
The principal shareholder in
this gigantic enterprise is Frank
H. Buhl, the multi-millionaire iron
operator of Sharon, Pa, who is the
president. He is associated with
P. L. Kimberly, another wealthy
man, and Walter G. Filler, 6nan-
cier from the same city, who is the
vice-president. They have three
western men, familiar with irriga-
tion and canal building, in the SYN
dicate. These are Colonel S. B.

of Salt Lake City, and l. B. Per-
rine, a wealthy Blue Lake, Idaho,

has caused a sensation here by her
appearance at masked ball in
Gezireh Palace in bare feet and
legs, from knees down. She inn
personated the Syce of Hindoo

riage of his master. Her costume
which was as handsome as it was
scant, is partly accounted for by
the fact that Lady Mackenzie, who
is the most expert swimmer of her
sex in England, has beautiful feet.

An English chemist has made
the public announcement that he
is ready to sell Radium at the rate
of shillings milligram, or at the
rate of 100000 for every two
and three-tenths pounds-in other
words kilo. He has made no
wholesale price for the reason that
he has only about one hundred
milligrams on hand. In the entire
world there are only about two
pounds, and the chances are that
there will not be an over-supply
before Spring.
Radium is a scientific startler. It
is said to be the most important
discovery iipn the Last gsRHeration
and epochal in the history of
science. Briefly described, it is a
powder, combination of metals,
which gives off light almost as
strong as the light of the sun. 1t
is almost as far ahead of Roentgen
rays, the scientific startler of six
years ago, as those rays are ahead
of twilight.
When, with the so-called X-rays,
scientists actually photographed
the bones of living persons, lay
men were awed. This accomplish
ment would be the merest child's
play for radium. With it a photo
graph can be taken through three
feet of iron or a foot of lead. Its
value to surgery, to medical science
and physical science cannot even
be approximated. To modern
scientific research it is what the
discovery of the telescope was to
astronomy.

A reporter heard of it.
The reporter called on the man.
And asked him about the news.
The man played balloon with

right. So I won't tell you"
The reporter did not get angry.
He knew the man was fool.
He had seen him before.
He knew the real facts could be
had from no one else.
Yet the reporter did the very
best he could to get at the truth.
And published the story as he
got it.

to give the facts arose early and
bought paper to see if the facts
were distorted.
They were.
