following. Notice in the last line
the compliment paid Kennewick
"A lew Washington farmers are

department for all hybrid orange
called "Willetscirange,' less sus-
ceptible to cold than the ordinary
orange. Young trees of this kind
in northern Florida have endured
a temperature of IS degrees above
zero without losing their leaves.
At the Alabama experiment station
they survived a temperature of nine
degrees without serious injury.
The department believes they can
be grown in the state of Washing

the "Rusk' and tae "Willts. -
The Willets citrange makes a leau-

NOW Is THE TIME.
If You Would Win Our Prize YOn
Must Hustle.

The young ladies' who are candi
dates in our popular young lady
contest are beginning to realize the
importance of doing little election
eering. There was a lack of inter-
est for the first few weeks, and no
one seemed to consider it of enough
impo, lance to even cast a ballot
when they had it coming. Now
nearly every merchant i'll town has
taken up the matter and are reserv
ing their votes for some one of the
candidates. One young lady has
gone out among her friends and So
licited subscriptions, with the re-
suit that she row has a nice bunch
of votes ready to cast when the
time comes. This is a good idea,
as there are a large number nf PEG
pie in the valley who are not sub
soriber to The Courier, who would
take it if they were Solicited.

Plans For Benton County.

The county commissioners Ct
Benton county Sunday got to-
gether for an informal tl1k. One
of the questions discussed was tenn
porary quarters for courthouse
purposes. The Riverside hotel, il
is said. can be rented, but the county
would have to bear the expense of
putting the building in repair and
it is thought the rent would be ex-
cessive. A tentative proposition
was made to the commission to
rent them another frame bu lding,
containing two stories, at $50 per
month. A vault would have to be
built On tie outside of it to protect
the records, which are too valuable
to be jeopa.dized by fire., but this
would also have to be done if the
Riverside was rented. ~

that of letting the contract TO tran

ADVICE TO FRUIT GROWERS.
An Able Communication From the
Pen of C. E. Collins.

Keunewick growers are engaging
in new business, decidedly new to
most of them. The questson of
what will pay best will naturally
come to your mind first. But he
sure what you have decided to grow
will be adapted to your individual
soil.
As shippers of produce we natur-
ally feel interested in your trials
and experiments. Of course you
know we cannot get and hold new
markets and the best markets ur-
less we have something better or
equally as good to offer such mar
kets. And again, we must have a
variety Of produce. At present we
could use carload every week of
such early produce as rhubarb,
spinach, asparagus, gseen OH ons
and radishes. All of wbicn will
grow proftably in our valley. as
has already been demonstrated.
Gardening cannot be done by
proxy, if it's a good thing it is
worth giving your best attention to
it. Good hard work, along with
common sense will do lot, but in
cropping your new land for the first
time, especially with vegetables,
you positively need something in
the soil to feed the plants grown
thereon.
Our soil here is good, but it is
not fertile until it has been thor
oughly worked and farned to ad-
NIT nitrogen from the air.
= You cannot get. the. ground too
good for small plants. - j.
.,.. The idea of turning under crop
of green crop as a supply to plant
Lie is trifle misleading in this re-:
spect. The value you are endeav-
oring to " ct from clover or similar
commodities is from the roots. The
longer the roots are put into the
soil the more nitrogen will be
stored up.
We might take a page to this dis
cussion, but i'll nutshell you must
allow time to get roots into the soil
before turning under; the green fol-
iage is of little value.
Don't for minute stop raising
vegetables or berries on account of
overstocking the market.
Plant your seeds, give good care,
tertillze plenty, put up in a neat
UNIFORM shape and we will guarar-
tee markets and the best of mar
kets.
Don't take advice from every
body you meet, you will be be-
wildered. Be sure you are right
and then go ahead.
Be saving of your water, not
only for your neighbors sake be
low you, but for your own Moth
ing will kill your crops like too fire.

tivation. This is to be done with ,

We know, having done it, that

REAL SPORTY WOMEN
Pool Room for Females Raided by
New York Police and Ar
rests Made.

New York. Dec. 2S.-Carelessness in
the selection of a French maid proved
the undoing Of a pool room for women
in a brown stone house on West Fifty
eighth street yesterday. Inspector Nc
Laughlin suspected the place nearly a
month ago and has been trying to get
evidence to raid it ever since.
According to the police, the pool room
was frequented by women of wealth
and prominence on the west side, who
went to it in their carriages and auto
mobiles.
The inspector was greatly pleased
three days ago at seeing an advertise
ment for a French maid to work in the
suspected house. His detectives lost
no time in hunting up young woman
who could speak both French and Eng
fish and she had little trouble in getting
the job.
Promptly at an hour agreed upon,
this young woman threw open the
front doors and the three detectives
rushed in. They found three telephones
working, a race at New Orleans being
called off, and eighteen extensively
dressed women studying dope sheets
and racing charts. The intrusion
caused a panic among the women pa
irons, whose names and addresses We're
taken by the police.
Catherine Hoddick, accused of being
the prOprietress Of the place, and three
employees were arrested.

STORMS HAS NOT RESIGNED
More Damaging Facts Disclosed I'm
phcating Indiana Secretary
of State.

Indianapolis, Dec. 2S.-Daniel E.
Storms, secretary Of state, has not re-
signed and it Is not known whether
he will comply with the demand of
Governor Hanly or not. Today he
again refused to discuss the subject.
1t is understood that in addition to the
situation disclosed by the secretary of
state placing his affairs In the hands
OF a trustee. a committee that has been
examining the records of his Office has
reported that Mr.. Storms did not turn
into the state treasury a fee Of $4,000
paid by the Vandalia Railroad COM
pany until several months after it was
due; that while the entire salary of
the foreign corporations clerk was
drawn from the treasury a less amount
was paid him: that an error of 81, 900
had been corrected later and that an
appropriation for an extra stenograph-
er was anticipated by Mr.. Storms.
1t was reported this afternoon that
Mr.. Storms had retained counsel and
would contest the demand of the gov
ernor for his resignation on the ground
that he had not violated the law.

BROTHERS AND
SISTERS CUT OFF
Mrs. Jennie P. Chase Left One Mil
lion to Her Husbands Son.
WILL BEING CONTESTED
SENSATIONAL TESTIMONY OF AT
ToRNEY CHICK.

Salem, Mass. Dec. 2S.-During the
hearing yesterday in the contest over
the viii of Mrs. Jennie P. Chase,
Charles G. Chick, a lawyer of Boston,
testified that he had acted as counsel
for Mrs. Chase, the services beginning
in 1889. The witness stated that on
Nov. IL, 1902, he drafted a will for Mrs.
Chase which left her estate to her
brothers and sisters. Mrs. Chase, the
witness continued, said that her hus-
band had had half of her income and
she did not care to do any more for
him. AT the same time Mrs. Chase
made an affidavit, the witness declared,
setting forth that Mrs. Chase did not
wish Woodruff, as she called her nus
bands son, to inherit her property. The
adoption, the affidavit continued, was
secured through the influence of DR..
Chase, who began discussing the sub
ject long before his marriage to her,
and she wished TO make a record some
where to show that she did not adopt
her husbands son OF her own free will.
Witnessed the Signing.
Mr. Chick stated that three witnesses
saw Mrs Chase sign the will which he
had drawn, but he could not remember
who they were. At this time, he said,
Mrs. Chase told him that her husband
had compelled her TO make a previous
will and that she did not wish 1t to
stand. For that reason the lawyer in
serted a clause revOking all former
wills made by Mrs. Chase.
DR.. Chase, the husband of Jennie p
Chase, on the witness stand said that
Mrs. Chase did not believe in astrology,
although she visited every fortune tell
er within twenty miles Of her home. He
said that after these visits Mrs. Chase
invariably remarked: THAT stuff is all
rot"
DR.. Chase said that he was a believer
in astronomy and astrOlogy.
The contestants are brothers and sis
ters of Mrs. Chase, whose will left ST.
600, 900 to a son Of DR.. Chase by a previ-
Gus marriage, whom she had legally
adopted.

st. Louis, Dec. 28.-The joint commit
tee representing the general assemblies
of the Northern Presbyterian and Cum
berland Presbyterian churches met in

ON SHORT RATIONS.
Otherwise the Ice-Bound WhaIers
Are DOING Well.

Seattle, Wash, Dec. 2Ss-Captain
William Mogg. of the whaling schooner
Bonanza, which was wrecked on
Herzchel island a few months ago,
arrived in Seattle this morning on the
steamer Jefferson. He is the man who
walked 800 miles from Herzchel island
20 Fort Eagle in company with Road
Amundsen of the little schooner Gjca,
which was sailed from Norway through
the long lost northwest passage, and
who ultimately found the magnetic
north pole. Captain Mogg stated that
he left the whaling fleet well, with the
exception that they would be on short
rations during the coming winter. He
also said that Captain Amundsen had
by this time started on his long tramp
back to HerZChel island, and that when
the ice broke UP next spring he would
sail at once for San Francisco, and
from there around the Horn, across the
Atlantic to his home port. Captain
MOgg was unable to give out any in
formation that had not already been
telegraphed from Fort Eagle.

to aid the commission in its enforce
ment. Pledges to this effect were Civ
en- by all present, with the further
promise to report every illegal trans
action which may come to their knowl-
edge or OF which they may have we'll
grounded suspicion.
While this visit was unsolicited. as
above stated, il was not unwelcome,
and the commission have no reason to
doubt the sincerity of the movement or
its practical value. That it will result
in the complete discontinuance of
wrongful practices is perhaps too much
to expect, for time alone VIII test the
degree Of its usefulness, but a marked
Improvement In the observance of tar
If rates may be fairly anticipated. If
the promised cooperation is actually
and continuously afforded, the payment
of rebates and the granting of secret
advantages will be, it is hoped, reduced
TO a minimum"
