CAPT. SMITH AND
NOTED TRAVELLERS

Speaking of distinguished Russians
whose names are or have been frequently
heard in dispatches from the front, . said
Captain Tremaine Smith Of the Siberia
yesterday, 4 remember when I was on
the old Picking in 1897 that carried the
late Admiral Makaroff from Nagasaki
to Hongkong, where he met Admiral
Alexieff and transferred to him com
mand of the Manchurian interests of
Russia. remember that Admiral Maka-
rolf was verv polished and affable
gentleman, and | believe Russia lost an
able officer when he died.
Then you will remember" he con-
tinued, that General Kahlbars, who is
now in command of one of the Russian
armies under Kuropatkin was passen-
ger on the Picking just after the Boxer
trouble, and l believe he was interviewed
aboard my ship while in Honolulu harbor
by an Advertiser reporter. He was a
mild-mannered man while on the vessel
and did not seem at all TO be of the type
of Russian military officer we have
heard OF"

MARION CHILCOTT
MEETS BAD WEATHER

The American ship Marion Chilcott
arrived yesterday morning, twenty
seven days out from San Francisco.
She locked about 11:3o at Railroad
Wharf No. 3 and began pumping out
her oil in the afternoon. The Chilcott
encountered very- mean weather on the
trip down. One day there would lie
heavy seas, but no wind and the next
she would be headed into the teeth of
gale. Those on board say that they
are lucky to get here as soon as they
did.
The Marion Chilcott made the COM
p1ete round trip last time in twenty
eight days, only one less than it took
her to come down this time.

The editor of this paper went up
against case of mistaken identity
last Wednesday evening that
Jared his feelings up somewhat for
a few hours. The mistake was in
regard to The identity of the con-
tents of bottle and he got outside
of big swallow of liniment instead
of certain brand of "bitters. !"
The liniment was a mixture OF
strychnine, roughon ground
glass, carbolic acid and campaign
whiskey and it didn't set well on
the editorial bread basket. The
editor got pale around the gills and
the office force sent out a hurry up
call for a physician. DR.. Henderson
responded. After learning the
cause Of the conmotion, he gave

The Canal to be Improved.

The water has been turned out
of the ditch and the work Of re-
pairing and improving has already
been started. At present there is
a large force at work near the east
end of fume No. 1, about twelve
miles west of this city, pudding
the ditch with clay and in a day or
two another force will be put to
work near the headgate. 1t is the
intention Of the company to put a
foot of clay lining in the ditch at
all the places where there is any
sign of a leak or a prospective leak.
The dam that is being erected
across the Yakima river at the
headgate will insure bountiful
supply Of water in the ditch next
year and the improvements in the
ditch itself will be a guarantee that
there will be water for all the land
that is to be watered by it. The
company will spend in the neigh
borhood of $4,000 on the i'm
provements this winter. 1t has Of
ten been said by those who are
familiar with irrigation bitches
throughout the arid west that our
ditch is the finest in the country,
and when the improvements are
made there will be no fear of its
efficiency.

Enjoyed the Hunt

Vestal Snyder and L. H. Lin

their wolf hunting expedition into
the Horse Heaven country. They
started out from Kennewick We'd

and IS men on ohorseback in the
race and large number of people
followed the chase in carriages and
wagons.

said Mr.. Snyder on arriving in the
city Yesterday. The only unfor
tunate circumstance about the af-
fair was that Mr.. Linbarger lost a
valuable wolf hound. The animal
started a coyote, and is probably
following it yet. 1t never came
back. We advertised for it i'll the
Kennewick paper and left word at
all the ranches, aud so it may yet
be recovered.
Otherwise, we considered the
chase a grand success. We LETT

of the newly discovered compost
with which to vaccinate the soil.
All legumes, such as peas, beans;
clover and alfalfa, develop at their
roots minute nodules containing
certain bacteria which have the
power of Extracting nitrogen di

the soil, Other plants do not pos

of peas and alfalfa as fertilizers.
They supply abundance of nitro

L. G. Moore, prominent and
popular resident of Kennewick, is
the Democratic nominee for county
commissioner in the third district.
Mr.. Moore is a man who is be-
lieved by his neighbors and by all
who know him to be well qualified
for the position of commissioner,
which, from the standpoint of the
taxpayer, is the most important Of
fee in the county. There is an
other good reason, too, why Mr..
Moore should be elected. The
people of the east end rightfully
consider that they are entitled to
representation on the board of com
missioners. They have never had
a representation on the board and
the taxpayers of that section think
and with reason. that they are ell
titled to a commissioner this time.

Already the country IS beginning
to feel the effects of the election OF
Mr.. Roosevelt in the advance OF cost
OF certain trust products protected by
the Dingley tariff law. The men who
control the trusts are business men
and when they go into politics
they do so with an eye to business.
When they contribute to campaign
fund they do 50 with the understand
ing that they will have the opFortunl-
ty of getting their money back by
laying a tax upon the people in the
shape of an increase OF the prices
upon their products. The ten million
dollars given to Mr.. Cortelyou will
be paid back 20 the people and many
times that amount.

The County court of Berkeley county
has begun a good work in the new
system of read making. They have
already done much to improve the
general condition OF the roads and in
another year or two there will be a
good beginning towards thorough
system of macadamized roads, Now
that the election is over and there is
nothing to play for in politics we hope
that our Republican friends who
ought to be as much interested in
good roads as Democrats, will change
their tactics and give the court all the
aid they can in the good work in
stead of hindering by caviling and
by fault finding as they have during
the past year. Let us all join in and
help the court and do 50 through
good motives and the result will be
gratifying and beneficial to all inter-
ests.

ALMOST A FIRE.

On Monday evening last Mrs.
Shtpley and Mrs. Peterman were
walking past the residence of Mr.. J.
+. Thompson and happened 20 cast
an eye up at the second story of the
bay window ana saw the curtains on
fire. They immediately gave the
alarm and the fire was soon extin-
guished without any great damage. 1t
seems that the fire was caused by 5me
of the little children playing in the
window. 1t was most fortunate that
