MANUFACTURE OF RUBIES.
Bogus Stones Rival the Genuine Gems

tatiOns of precious stones, a well
known jewelTy expert Of this city
through whose hands millions Of dol
lars worth Of precious stones have
passed, declares that rubies, beautiful
in color and rivaling the natural gems
are today produced from the chemist S
crucible.
The secret of their production
which he says, was known in France
years ago, but was kept secret, lies
in the manner of fusing a number OF
small cheap stones into a single large
one.
It is said the manufacture is now be-
ing carried on extensively In several
European countries and only the most
experienced examiner can detect the
difference between. the real stones and
those from the cruCible.

Deafness Cannot Be Cured

There is only one way to cure deaf
ness, and that is by constitutional
remedies. Deafness is caused by an
inflamed condition of the mucous lin
ing of the Eustachian Tube. When
this tube is infamed you have a rumb-
ling sound or imperfect hearing, and
unless the Inflammation can be taken
out and this tube restored to its nor

stroyed forever; nine cases out of ten
are caused by Catarrh, which IS moth

IDAHO
SUICIDE; NOT MURDER.
Mrs. Mitchell Plunged Into the Spo
kane River While in Fit Of
Insanity.

Spokane.-The officers who have
been investigating the report that Mrs.
Hulda Mitchell was murdered instead
of having committed suicide, as was
first reported, have found that there
was no reason whatever to think that
she was murdered.
Mrs. Mitchell, who had been sick
for some time, plunged into the Spo-
kane river, in front of her home, about
rs miles below the city, it is believed
while laboring in fit of Temporary in
sanity, induced by i'll health. J. H.
Michel, the husband, is employed in
the Northern Pacific freight house in
this city, and is said by those with
whom he works to be a sober, indus
trious man. The affair has created
considerable discussion among the
neighbors Of the Mltchells, and few
have taken a decided stand in favor of
the murder theory, but Prosecuting
Attorney Kirkpatrick of Stevens
county has probed the matter to the
bottom and he finds nothing whatever
that would lead to a suspicion of foul
play.

tics to the people, and giving them an
opportunity to judge Of lis qualities
as a political speaker, he confined his
remarks entirely to mere question Of
law. Added to this, he exhibited a

Talk Of German.
There always murmurins of Cor
man, when there is talk of tie conven-
ton, but the willy statesman from
Maryland has remained out If the dis
cussiOn, and In fact has no encour-
aged any talk of his availability. He
is always strong, but, like Hill, who
is available in much the same manner,
his nomination is matter of much
doubt. Both are men who command
followings at time of unusual popu-
larity, but whose following 1uctuates
greatly, so that they can never tell
today what they will have tomorrow
Cleveland VS.. Bryan.
Probably the most interesting feat
ure of the democratic convention will
be the struggle for control, the Glove
land democrats on the one side, and
Bryan democrats and the other.
Notwithstanding the numerous
Cleveland bOoms that have been
launched from time to time, it is be-
lieved by the average democratic poll
tician that the Sage of Princeton will
not again allow his name to go before
the convention. Many are inclined to
take him at his word, that he is con
tent to spend the rest of his days with
his family, and out of public life. He,
however can be counted on to show
a keen interest in politics, and will
be ready to lend his influence to wrest
the control of the party from Bryan.
Bryan, on the other hand, has his
intention of suppressing the Cleveland
element in the convention. Bryan, Of
course. cannot again be nominated,
but, like Cleveland, he wants to have
a hand in running the convention.

ARRASMITH AT COLFAX.
Grain Inspector Looking Into Quality
of New Crop.

Colfax-J. w. Arrasmith. state
grain inspector, is here spending few
days with his family and looking after
his farming interests. Mr.. Arrasmitn
is inspecting the grain crop and today
went to La Crosse, in western Whit
man county, to look at the crop in that
section. He is trying to find threshed
wheat of the new crop so as to form
an idea of the quality, and expects to
find considerable of this in western
Whitman county, where the season is
much earlier than in the eastern part
Of the county. and a considerable
amount of threshing has been done.
Speaking Of the crop prospect, Mr..
Arrasmith said:
Il find as rule the grain is of good
quality, and in many districts the yield
will be larger than was anticipated
earlier in the season This is due to
the fine quality of the grain. The
wheat heads are well filled with plump
grains, often being filed from the bot
tom to the very top of the head.
Wheat which has filed this way will
yield much heavier than many antici-
pated. But little grain has been
threshed as yet, but few fair yields
have been reported.
Il met an extensive farmer, living
near Hatton, in Adams county, as
came over on the train, and he told
me he had begun harvesting with a
combined header and thresher and
his fall wheat was turning out about
twenty-five bushels per acre. He had
expected only about sixteen bushels.
In dry climate and lighter soil twenty
two bushels to the acre would be a
fair crop any year At present prices
it is big yield this year. and will give
the producer big profit This man
told me that while some wheat in his
neighbOrhood was not worth cuttin G
this was due to the poor manner of
seeding He said some farmers had
not plowed their land. but had run a
disc harrow through the stubble and
sowed the wheat, and that this grain
was frequently not worth cutting. He
declared that where proper methods
had been followed the crop was fairly
good and farmers would make a good
profit"
Mr.. Arrasmith expects to be in WHIT
man county about ten days, after
which he will return to Tacoma and
prepare for the big rush of work for
his department when the shipment of
wheat begins.

RAISES COUNTY TO FIFTH GRADE
Snohomsh Advanced by Ruling of
Court.

Everett.-At the conclusion of the
testimony of Auditor Ross in the hear
ing of the mandamus proceedings
brought to compel the commissioners
to advance the county's classification,
Judge Denney ordered the advances
ment to the fifth class made, holding
from the evidence that there were
more than $4,000 people in the county
on the 1st day of last November, and
that the county was therefore clearly
entitled to advancement, as prayed
for by the court house officials. Fig
ures introduced in court gave SnOho-
mish county population OF 5l,ZZo,
estimated from the school census of
10,245, taken June l Of this year. Last
year the school census showed 1854.
from which the county's population for
that period is estimated. The special
census taken by the court house Off
cials last November gives the popula-
ton of the leading cities Of the county
as follows:
Everett. 1920: Snohomish. 3,640;
Marysville, 1860; Monroe, 1929;
Granite Falls, 1,21S.
Judge Denney's decision ends a
fight to secure the advancement OF the
county begun by the court house Off
cials last fall. Until within the past
few weeks it was stubbornly opposed
by the commissioner board, which
maintained that it would carry the
case to the supreme court should the
superior court of this district decide
in favor of Redistribution. In a Grim
inal case a few weeks ago, however,
Judge Denney sustained all objection
to the jury on the ground that it was
irregularly drawn, as the county, by
virtue of its population, belonged in
higher classification than the tnir-
teenth. The judicial branch was &C
cordingly advanced to the fifth class
and a jury commission appointed A
majority of the commissioner board
later signifed their willingness to ad-
vance the executive branch, but de-
cided to allow the mandamus pro
ceedings Instituted by the courthouse
officials to come to trial in order to

Mp. RIGHT OF WAY
CANNOT BE SOLD
So Decides the United States Supreme
Court-WilI Cause Some En-
barrassment.

A copy of the most important decis-
ion, affecting much property along the
right-of-way of the main line of the
northern Pacific in this state, which
a few days ago was handed down by
the United States supreme court, has
been received here. In effect it holds
that the railroad company has no pow
er to sell any of the land granted to it
by the government under franchise for
a right-of-way, and that title cannot
be gained by adverse possession.
Within this state, particularly in the
vicinity Of Spokane, and all along the
line of the coast, the Northern Pacific
has disposed of parts of its right-of-
way grant, and in many instances
homes have been erected by the pur-
chasers. Not long ago the question of
the legality of the sale came up, and
the company brought suit in the Unit
ed States court agaicst a number of
persons who had rlI ?. 1Sed these
lands in this stat =, Inning adverse
possession. The result is that all the
titles SO held by purchasers are void.
The only way the defect can be rem
edied is by the passage Of a special act
of congress. authorizing the railroad
company to sell any part OF its right
Cf-way that it may see fit, and bill, 1t
is announced, having this for it's pur-
pose will be introduced at the next
session. In the meantime persons oc-
cupying the lands involved will remain
as they are at present until the auth
GRITTY to sell has been granted, when
new deeds will have to be executed.
The right-Of-way Of the railroad
company, or that part Of it secured by
government grant, extends 200 feet on
either side of the mainline tracks.
Most of this has been fenced in, but
there is still part in this state that has
not. In certain sections of Washing
| ton this land is among the most valu-
able for gardening and farming pur
| poses, and therefore is in demand.
The company does not urgently need
more than about fifty feet on either
side of it's tracks, and recently, when
so many requests for it's sale were re
ceived, it disposed of a considerable
amount at various points along the
| line in Washington The purchasers
! in most instances used it for truck
! farming, and it has been valuable fol
this purpose.
When the question OF the legality
of the sale came up, the railroad, tC
satisfy itself and to insure good title
to the purchasers, brought the suit.
Whether or not there will be any OBJ
| lection to the passage of an act which
will enable the company to dispose OF
this surplus land is question that can
only be settled when the matter comes
up in congress. The opinion of the
land department Of the road is that
there will not be, and If this is the
case the present owners of the land
will not be molested. If congress re
fuss to put the bill through, it is the
general belief the company will resort
to leases, which, while not SO salts
factory, will result in a revenue from
property which otherwise would be
practically useless.
