Mr.. Watson's presidential campaign
is affording the paragraphers a sub

and that is about all it will amount to.

Considerable notice has been taken
of the fact that Miss Annie Peck re-
Gently climbed the Hottest of the An
dean peaks, to a hight of 10000 feet
above sea level. Miss Peck undoubt-
edly had hard and dangerous climb,
and she may have had fine view of
the surrounding country. But that is
about all there was to the feat. Moth
ing was added to the store of scientific
knowledge respecting the mountains or
the particular peak that she climbed.
Still, there is no reason why she should
not amuse herself climbing tall peaks
if she wants to do So

An Ohio judge declared the other
day that wives who search their hus-
bands pockets and abstract thererom
money OF other valuable objects are
guilty OF larceny and amenable TO the
law. Nevertheless II is quite likely
that the time-honored pocket-search-

During the coming winter we shall
be able to see whether turbine en-
gines for big ships are a success. The
Allan Line steamer Victorian, launched
the other day at Belfast, will be ready
to go on the New York-LiverpoOl line
about the last of the year. She is
$40 feet long and is fitted with tur-
bine engines. She Will have accom-
modations for $500 passengers. 1t is
expected that she will prove to be
very fast. She may, indeed, be the
five-day ship that has been looked
forward to for so long a time. Small
turbine steamers for river and chan
mel use have been operated success
fully for two or three years, but no
big, deep-sea ship supplied with such
power has yet gone into commission.
The Victorian will have three pro-
pellers, each on separate shaft,

Lew Delzer claims the honor of hav-
ing brought the first load of wheat to
Odessa this year 1t was ptnched
little, yet tested 60 pounds to the BUSH
Ell. 1t was purchased by VIII Michael
son.-Odessa Record.
1t is estimated that the Adams coun!
ty wheat crop will aggregate 5000, 900
bushels this season. Owing to the
abundant moisture it has received, the
fall wheat is excellent. The grain will
be gotten to market about two weeks
earlier than usual.
There died recently in Fittsburg,
Penn, Mrs. r. r. Hostetter, widow OF
the late DR.. David Hostetter, the inven-
tor and manufacturer of the bitters'
which bear his name. The widow dis
posed of an estate valued at over five
million dollars, $4,000 OF which was
given to charity. This sum represents
the fortune made in lifetime out of the
profits on the sale OF as worthless de-
coction of cheap whisky as ever was
sold. Extensive advertising and allur-
ing accounts of its wonderful curative
properties had much to do with its ex-
tensive sale. A home, founded with
the profits, for all those who have been
ruined by the bitlers would have been
very proper use to have made of the
five million dollars.
Three crews OF government men are
working on the government survey of
the proposed irrigating ditch and are
making their headquarters at Wash
tucna. They all seem to take an active
interest in the ditch and hope to see it
built While not permitted to give out
any definite statements, still it is plain
that all of the surveyors regard the
ditch scheme as feasible. A high line
has been decided Oh, and lines are being
run along the cliffs and across the hills
on both sides Of the railroad track. 1t
appears at the present time that the
south and west side of the track will be
the better route. The plans are being
worked out for ditch 80 feet wide and
II feet deep, which, it will be observed,
would be an immense undertaking The
point of intake from the Palouse is still
undecided, but reservoir sites have been
established, one at Sulphur Lake and
one west of Connell. These reservoirs
will be used for the storage OF the food
waters of the Palouse. Surveys are yet
uncompleted in the region of Rock Lake
but it is thought that vast reservoir
will he built there. .-Washtucna Enter
