SIIOpLIFTING.

II is a humillatng fact that at this
season OF the year. when good win
should be the predominant sentiment
attention is called to the deprayity OF
human nature by the many cases Of
theft that are brought to the notice
Of magistrates all over the country
Shopllfting, for instance, is more COM
mon at this time OF the year than at
any other. And some seem to make II
q business to visit office buildings and
abstract whatever objects that take
their fancy. 1t is a sad reflection on
human nature that hotel keepers, mer-
chants. and others who are dealing
with the public, are beginning to con-
slider everyone dishonest, until honesty
IS proved,
One reason why dishonesty has been
nourlshing 20 much is that those who
indulge In Il. too often are discrlm-
mated against. Thieves Of high social
standing generally manage to prove
"kleptomania," and escape without
punishment Business men hate to
prosecute and lose business Recent
~, however, n New York Judge set an
example OF impurtialtY A woman
was brought before him for shopllfting
The robbed merchant asked for her re-
lease on the ground OF her eminent
responsibility and social connections
But the magistrate remarked that the
woman's position In life only made her
oftense more fragrant and deserving Of
, the seyerest punishment This is an
Nanusual proceeding, but the soundness
Of the position is apparent II the
courts would always insist that steal.
Ing is stealing, there would be less OF
that kind OF offense

NO PLEDGES BROKEN.

wrhe contention Of the American
Marty ana the Tribune is that Utah op-
ialned her statehood upon certain
hedges; that these pledges nave peeil
broken by the church leaders ana
others with their permission ana lha'
n IL necessary for the safety OF the
state that the pledges shall be- re'eS-
ubllshed and be sacredly observed ~
Trlb, Dec. is.
Does the safety OF the state re-
ouire an anti Mormon newspaper To
concoct an endless variety OF false
hoods concerning the Church and IN
dvidual members Is that the reason
why dispatcher are fabricated, or
labeled 30 as to mlslead the unwary
readers? Does tha safety OF the state
demand the Vicious attacks upon the
Prophet Joseph, the Mormon creed
and all the members OF the Church,
which have formed the distinguishing
feature Of the Tribune for some tius
past? Let any sane person consider
the facts
We again emphatlcally deny the con.
tentlon Of the Tribune and It's party
that the Church leaders have broken
any pledges. And that denial Il at least
equal to any assertion the Tribune can
make. No pledges have been broken
by the Church leaders or by their per-
mission. Were this not the truth the
Tribune would not have been under
the necessity OF resorting TO a cam
paign OF falsehood to gain It's well un-
derstood aims.
Falsehood has been the weapon OF
such plotters since the war between
good and evil commenced, though
truth always. finally prevails. For a
time, Joseph, falsely accused may
langulsh in Il dungeon or Daniel face
the hungry lions in their den, but they
pre finally always vindcated, while
their enemies are COMPOUNDED.

The Kennewick Land Co. ha.
sold over $40, 900 worth of property
since May Ist. Most all of ii to
people who came from a distance
to locate.
G. Il. Hanson has received a
communication from a leading
commission man at Seattle to the
effect that he can handle all the
cantaloupes, sweet corn, cucum-
bers and berries raised in the val
ley and will pay fancy prices for
them. He is DESTROYS of securing
them for the Alaskan trade.
G. B. Mcconnell has done a great
amount of work upon his tract of
twenty five acres above town.
He has set out 10000 asparagus
plants, 1900 grapes, $4,000 straw
berryplants and 500 fruit trees,
principally peaches and pears.
Everything is doing we'll and he
will have a magnificent place in the
near future.
X. Gorsuch informs us that bis
strawberries are now beginning to
ripen, and that he will market his
first crate to day. Thousands of
crates will be shipped out of here
in the next three weeks. There
are at least seventy five acres all
told, in bearing strawberries, in the
vicinity of Kennewick. This
spring the area was about trebled.
1t will increase from year to year in
the future.
r. Gorsuch and H. Delapine
have arranged to handle the farm,
orchard and garden products Of
this vicinity. The name of their
firm is the Kennewick Produce Co.
They will pay the highest cash
prices for all products, and will re-
ceive them from to 4 p. nj at the
Northern Pacific Depot. Both
these gentlemen have resided here
since the starting of the new Ken
newick and are experienced men,
and too well known to need an in.
PRODUCTION to the people. We wish
them success in their undertaking
The berry season is on. Thi:
season will establish the reputation
Of Kennewick. 1t behooves every
shipper to watch his shipments.
Do not put up measly, green and
poor berries, and strew few nice
ones on the top of your box. See
that every box in your crate is full
Of large, ripe, fine berries. Let
every customer learn that when he
buys any Kennewick product he
gets full measure and a choice
variety. In this way only can we
establish reputation. Each one
should feel that he maintains the re.
putation of the whole section and
that it depends upon his fruit boxes
alone. Deal honestly and literally
with all and your reward i'll an es-
tablishcd reputation and top prices
in everything, will surely come.
The government has allotte d
81, 500 900 out of the national irri-
cation fund to build the Pasco ir-
rigation project, and approved the
scheme. Engineers are in the field
making surveys. When their re-
ports are in, the subject will receive
more fully the attention Of the
department. There are ofcourse,
contingencies in the way. The
right of way, the proper water
rights and water supply, the cost of
the undertaking must all be satisfac
tory so that the government
can feel that the scheme is feasible
and practical in every detail. We
are pleased to learn that the gov
