exhibit at the Portland Fair was dis
russed ut length 1t was unanim Dusly
decided TO tend every eperg.. toward
securing n union Of he several differ

which the officers Of the Club decided
to propose is that the four incorporated

making an aggregate sum of $50 and
that the county com missioners, as al
lowed by the law passed by the legisla-

would furnish u working capital of
$1,000. That about $1,000 to 81, POO be

Early Spring.
SUPERIOR TELEPHONE SYSTEM
A Proposition 10 BE Put Before the
People TO Extend the Line TO
LeaVenWOrth

The town OF Cashmere has closed
deal with the Farmers Telephone Com
pany, of Wenatehee, whereby the com
pany will put its system in that town.
Mr.. Arthur Gum represented the com
pany before a public meeting of the
citizens OF the community one day last
week made the following proposition
which was accepted and committee
appointed to solicit stock subscriptions.
For every $780, in stock subscribed
the company will build four miles OF
telephone line.
A central will be established in Cash
mere, open from s a. IN. to s p. m, or
so long a. an operator can be secured
at a cost not to exceed S25 per mouth.
AS many lines as possible will be plug
cd into the Wenatchee central during
the hours when the Cashmere central
is closed, as the wires will accommodate.
When 100 subscribers are secured in
stituted.
Every subscr Der to the stock of the
company at the rate of $50 90 per share
will receive telephone for a monthly
rental of 81 90. Non-subscribers TO the
stock will pay 81 30 per month Toll
charges to be abolished in all cases.
Should any one use Il line more than 3
minutes a charge Of five cents will be
made for each minute over three
Telephones will be installed free
within distance Of 800 feet of the line
Any further distance must be pad for
by subscriber.
"A phone will be installed at the de-
pot free of charge.
Mr.. Gum tod the writer That he
would put much the same propo ltion
before the people OF Leayenworth at an
early day.
From conversations had with num-
Der of the residents of the Chumstick
valley we know that the peop e of that
valley are anxious to be put in tele
phone communication with The outside
world and 1t is quite possible that ar
engagements could be made to extend
the line to Lake Wcaatchee as the
Chumstick valley line would be in The
direction of the lake.

REVEALED THE TRUTH.
How the Facts In n VIII Forgery
Case Were Brought Out.

How the Facts In n VIII Forgery
Case Were Brought Out.
In his capacity as judge Lord Bramp-
ton always insisted on the imperative
demand that every case should be In
vestigated In its minutest details. Up
on small points the great issue Of a
case depends. AS exemplifying this
Lord Brampton cites a curious case
that came before him on the western
circuit:
"a solicitor was charged with forg-
ing the will OF lady, which devised
to him a considerable amount of her
property, but as the case proceeded 1t
became clear to me that the will was
signed after the lady's death and then
with dry pen held in the hand of the
deceased by the accused himself while
he guided 1t over signature which he
had craftily forged. A woman was
present when this was done, and as
she had attested the execution of the
will she was necessary witness for
the prisoner, and in examination in
chief she was very clear indeed that 1t
was by the hand of the deceased that
the will was signed and that she her.
self had seen the deceased sign II.
Suspicion only existed as to what the
real facts were until this woman went
into the box, and then scene highly
dramatic occurred In her cross exami.
nation. After getting an admission
that the will was signed in the bed,
with the prisoner near by, the woman
was asked
"'Did he put the pen into her handT
"'Yes."
"'And assist her while she signed the
will?'
Eyes
"'How did he assist herr
"'By raising her in the bed and sup
porting her when he had raised her.
"'Did he guide her hand?
".No.'
"'Did he touch her hand at all?
"I think he did just touch her hand
"'When he did touch her hand was
she dead!'
''At this last question the woman
turned terribly pale, was seen to fall
ter and fell in swoon on the ground
and SO revealed the truth, which she
had come to deny."-London Mail.
