CAPTAIN GR|GGs
TALKS OF The FAIR
SAYS WASHINGTON HAS ONE OF
BEST BUILDINGS AT FAIR
cHELAN COUNTY FRUIT BEST
IN THE STATE.

Bruce Grigos and wife returned
from the Portland fair and other coast
points, on the afternoon train yester
day.
OF his visit to the fair, Mr.. Griggs
said: 81 have little to say except
words of praise for the fair. The
Washington building is one of the best
on the grounds, both in regard to ar
chitectursl beauty and completeness
of exhibits. The Chelan county ex-
hibit is still leading all the others,
but California is close on her heels.
California of course has the advantage
over us in having an exhibit of early
peaches and would suggest that as
soon as Chelan peaches ripen, large
shipment be sent to the Fair at once.
Apples would make large improve
ment in the tone of the exhibit and it
would be well, think to send guam
tlty down there rs soon as possible.
II want to say good word for Mr..
Graham too. He is the right man in
the right place an it is owing largely
to his efforts that Chelan county holds
the leading place in the ranks Of fruit
exhibitors.
Seattle looks more hustling and
business like than Portland, even
though fair is being held in the lat.
ter place.

HER BAKED BEANS
BROUGHT $25o,ooo
FLORIDA HOUSEWIFE WINS A
BIG FORTUNE BY HER SKILL
IN COOKING GOOD NEW ENG
LAND DINNERS.

JACKSONVILLE, Aug. AIRS.
A. M. Mcdonald has fallen heir to
$250,000, all because she could bake
Boston beans and bake them right.
Mrs. Abbie R. Dodge, part owner of
the Windsor hotel here, died the other
day and, after leaving her relatives
neat little legac les, she left the bal
ance of her large fortune to Mrs.
Mcdonald because she could cook.
Mrs. Dodge lived at the Windsor,
which employs the highest priced
cook in this part of the country, but
Mrs. Dodge wolld leave a chef dinner
from entree to sweets for a good old
fashion ed dish of Boston baked beans,
with molasses enough to make them
taste like Dedham, Mass, and fine
latieed slice of crisp pork laid tempt
ingly across the top.
New Engalnd corned beef and cab
'bage she liked too, and she would go
to Mrs. M,Donald's, eat heartily
thereof and then carry home the re-
ceipt to the $40, 900 chef and ask him
to cook some like that. Try as he
might he could never satisfy Mrs.
Dodge's New England taste.
And now Mrs. Do ige has left her
friend who fed her the delicacies she
was brought up on, a big fortune,
which will come in very handy, as
Mrs. Mcdonald, the legatee, is the
wife of poor minister.

pressed himself in his usual terse
and vigorous maner Mr.. Blackburn
complained to the President that he
had not received the loyal support he
should have received at the hands of
certain Federal office houlders in the
district at the last election, and that
similar complaints could be made as
to other districts.
"GiVe me some tangible and def
mite proof as to this, Mr.. Blackburn,
and l will cut off their heads" inter-
rupted the President, in a most en-
phatic manner.
"No reference has been made now

case" said Judge Ewart, but the
President voluntarily brought the
matter up. He said that the attor
ney-general had investigated the mat
ter, and had reported to him that
there was no foundation for such
suit He expressed that Anderson
should have instituted the suit and
referred to it as almost an insult to
the judiciary. Referring to the ques-
ton Of patronage generally, he ex-
pressed the opinion that the Republi-
can party i'm the South would be bet
ter off without it, that it seemed to
be bone Of contention and curse
for constant wrangling. The Presi-
dent requested Blackburn to file for
NAL and definite charges against any
Federal office holder in the State who
had been treacherouE to, or had failed
to support the Republican nominee.
II was not present at the inter-
view with Attorney General Moody,
having another engagement at the
time, but / was informed by one OF
the delegation present that the attor-
ney general was equally emphatic with
the President in declaring that FEEDER
al office holders who had not given
loyal support should walk the plank.
Voluntarily referring to the An
derson suit he said that he had re-
garded it as very grave matter, and
that he had at once taken it Up with
the President AT his instance he had
called on Mr.. Rollins for an eXplana-
