three or four years, as is shown by
statistics compiled by the railroads.
more nOrtherners and westerners have
settled in Florida, Georgia, Alabama
and neighboring states than at any
other period in the history of the
country, and the roads believe that if
the natural advantages offered by

the industrial agents propose to in

Olympia. She was at that time att1r-
ed in woman's clothing. She claimed
to have been keeping house for a man
by the name of Hampton before COM
ing to Ellensburg.
After arriving in Olympia. she went
to the county officials ard made about
the same plea that she did to the Of
ficials here. She evidently did not re-
ceive the assistance asked for, as the
next heard of her she appeared in Au-
burn and asked to pass coal on an
engine.
On arriving at Gle Elum she had
hardly left the engine until she was
arrested on suspicion of being 1mpii-
Gated in the robbery OF the depot the
evening before by some hoboes. She
was also suspected as being a wo-
man by the officer who arrested her,
and upon calling a doctor and sub

his suspicious were found to be true
Deputy Crowley was sent for, and
he brought her to EIlensburg on No.

least have a home to go to, as she now
acknowledges she has no relatives or
friends.

PROBERT FACED BILL,
Forest Grove Attorney Caused Banker
to Skip.

FOREST GROVE. Ore. March g
Earl b. Hawks, of the firm of Hollis
ana Hawks, attorneys of this place
feels positive that he was the direct
cause OF Arthur c. Proberts disap-
paarance. Mr.. Hawks. who came here
from Michigan last fall says that al
though he did not know Mr. Probert
personally, he had heard a good deal
of him as a bank promoter. He said
he would go into a little town and rent
building, form a stock company and
open a bank, and in about two or
three months he would disappear with
the biggest share of the funds. People
back there tried time and again to
capture him. but he was too slippery
for them. He drifted from one state
INTO another. always playing the same
trick in the same old way, and always
managed TO make his escape He
opened and closed two banks in Indi-
ana and was traced into Michigan. An
officer was sent after him, but the
governor of that state refused to honor
the eXtradition papers on account of a
technical!ty. From Michigan he came
TO Oregon. where he succeeded in
opening bank at Dayton. and he
probably would not have skipped at so
early date if it had not been for

Representative Dixon has introduced
in congress a bill to give the OK Bow
company right to dam the river, the
passage of this bill being necessary be-
foe the dam can be built, as the river
is under government control. The
company has secured rights along the
river for eight miles. The dam will be
sixty feet high and 10000 horsepower
will be developed.
The new enterprise will be Of great
benefit to the mining industry. The
plan will, after supplying the Butte

furnishing cheap power for street car,

vicinity.
