P.

MT. Frey, on finding my fa- ther away, asked to step in for the purpose of writing a note to leave for him. My parents were away my sister who had company had gone for walk and left the house in my care, just as they had got 1T from the supper table. MT.

This they die and l did the boys part to enter tain them and was told that they enjoyed it as well as though they had dined at the Sagadahoe, a ho tel at that time located in the city of Bath.

Papa Browns parrott, (the R.M) is awfully sore because SENTINEL is giving "spasms from that self con- fessed martyr and legally adiudi- cated grafter, Samuel Sylvester" That's right, and is naturally pre- sumable. Mains, alais Ball, would be very glad to cover up some of his history today, if it were possi- ble, But truth will out; right and justice is bound to prevail in the end. Another "spasm' of that story of rascality appears in this paper today, and Papa" and his little boys" should read it-iust to see how infnitesimally small and how damnably dishonest they have acted in theil attempt to rob an es- tate, simply because they had the power of the court in their hands. Another "spasm" will appear next week.
 And again, Papa" and the "li:- tie boys don't like to read about those receiver bonds that Judge Gunniscn raised from Sl0,000 to $50,000 to protect "the famous lit tie lumb iaa;ory known as Il e Wr.recll savmill.n Natural, again. Who, in any country, ever heard Of B rust of 75,oCO ($30.o00 of which was cash) being covered by an insignificant $10,000 bond? Tie whole caboodle that were instru- mental in this proceeding ought to sneak of onto some little island and hide their heads for shame in- cal of brazenly defending their action. However. il is but in keep- ing with another bond in this case, presumably for $10,oo0-was giN- en and the amount left blank. Tie final "spasm" will probably appear in the SENTINEL week-aiter-next.

Here is a proposition that pel- haps "Papa's little boys" can eH. plain: At the time the Wrangell mill was turned oyer to the graf,- CTS, $18,o0o cash and abouts s10,00C in good accounts went into tho hands of the receiver, about s2S,o0t in all Besides this, the mill was claimed to do the largest business in its history, last year. But mo- withstanding this the grafters only turned over to receiver Davidson about s12,25O What the SENTINEL would like explained, is, figuring on basis of a loss of s15,750 ana the earnings for eighteen months, how long would it have taken fer the graiters to have eaten up the famous little lumber factory known as the Wrangell sawmill?"

count OF Raiiway.
Washington, April lO.-Although q
great deal Of secrecy Is being main.
tanned by tho reclamation service in
regard to the negotiations to secure q
site for the reservoir which is 10 sup
ply water for the proposed Palouse irri-
CATION project, it is learned that the
discussion with the railroad company
has narrowed down to the question OF
how much the government shall pay to
the company for removing its tracks
from the Washtucna ooulee. It is In
the coulee that the irrigation engineers
propose to establish the reservoir for
the whole Palouse scheme.
There is line Of about twelve miles
in the ooulee itself which will have to
be transferred to higehr ground, out Of
reach of the water which is to fill the
reservoir. These tracks are Of tenn
porary character and the roadbed is in
ferior, as the line was built for freight
and not for fast passenger traffic. The
company demands that the government
shall pay large part of the expense
Of moving the tracks, but as the rail
road is to be benefited enormously by
the irrigation Of great tract Of land,
there is pretty strong feeling that the
company ought to meet the expense on
its own account. The negotiations are
still in progress.

Surveys to Begin on Line to puget
Sound.
Portland, Or, April 13.-Although
traffic agreements prevent the Harri-
man lines centering in Portland from
building northwest of the Cascades to
the Sound, there is now going on the
completion of surveys for such road,
which, it is believed, the Hartman
lines will use, thus opening all ports
Of the Coast to this big system. Ac-
cording to accredited reports surveyors
familiar with the territory to be ira
versed are in demand, and the work Of
surveying will begin within a fort
night.
That the road is to be used by the
Hartman interests for entry into Pu-
get sound territory there is no doubt,
but no information will be given out
in detail concerning it. The surveyors
will be setting stakes within a fort
night, according to the report that has
gained circulation among a very linn
tied number Of people.

TEST TRADING sTArip Law.

S$osuN AOuA<Tu ASKS supreme Court
to enjotn Enforcement.
Seattle, April 1O.-A suit to test the
validity Of the law passed by the last
legislature prohibiting the use Of trad
ing stamps has been instituted in the
superior court Of Thurston county, in
the name of Ernest and A. L. Hutch
inson, doing business as the National
Trading Stamp Company, doing bus
mess at Seattle. The suit is unique
from the fact that it seeks to prevent
the enforcement of law which does
not become operative until June 2 fol.
lowing. The suit is brought against
Gov. Albert e. Mead and Attorney
General John D. Atkinson to prevent
them from enforcing the law when the
time arrives, on the ground that it is
unconstitutional, and petitions the
court to declare the proposed law ille-
gal. The company alleges that it has
1000 invested in the business, which
will be destroyed by the act, together
with an annual income of $4,000. It
operates in the cities of Seattle, TACO
ma and Everett and elsewhere In the
United States.'

ALASKA BOUNDARY
NOW ALL LOCATED,

Washington, April 1S.-It has just
become known that negotiations have
been in progress for some months for
the settlement of that part of the Alas
ka boundary which was not accurately
determined by the London tribunal in
the late fall Of 1908. With this infor-
nation comes the announcement that
the course of the whole boundary has
been definitely located and agreed to
by the governments of Great Britain
and the United States.
On account of an omission in the in
ternational provisional survey Of 1895,
the charts prepared under that survey
failed to give any data for stretch of
territory toward the southern end OF
the boundary, covering distance OF
more than one hundred miles, between
the mountain peaks known as Kate's
Needle and DEVILS thumb.
Accept Commissioners Report.
In due course, under the London
award, commissioners on the part of
the United States and Great Britain
were selected to locate the whole Alas
ka boundary line, and to erect visible
monuments. The important fact which
has only just become known is that
these commissioners were subsequently
charged, by agreement between the
two nations, with the duty of locating
the boundary between Kate's Needle
and DEVILS Thumb. According to
this agreement the findings Of the COM
missioners were to be subject to accept
ance by the two governments.
It now appears that the commission
ers recently made their report, and
that an exchange of notes between the
United States and Great Britain has
effected the acceptance of the terms OF
this report by both governments. BY
the terms of this agreement the Unit
ed States gains less than Canada gains,
but the findings of fact have turned
ont inst about as was expected by our
high Joint commissioners at London.
Moreover, the territory in question Is
yalueless, for it is almost inaccessl oie.
The whole region is mountainous and
broken. and nearly all of it is covered
with almost perpetual SLOWS.
rates Needle and Devils Thumb.
Kate's Needle is peak about seven
ty-five miles due south from Skagwsy,
and DEVILS Thumb is more than
hundred miles southerly from kate's
Needle. BY the agreement now reached
between the two governments, It 10
nrovided that the line shall follow
mountain peaks between the two OBJ
iectives, but that in selecting THESE
peaks, the commissioners shall select
none that is moro than $500 meters
from q straight line joining the Cd
iective points. II is deemed best g
saleot mountains for the intermediate
marks, since the country is hard %
travel over and the erection OF visible
ARTIFICIAL monuments Is almost an I'M
possibility. and would serve no good
purpose. A

Hills for Apple Orchards.

Hills Tor Apple Orchards.
Where there are hills and q clay soil
the conditions are suitable for the
raising Of apples. In the southern
part of Illinois and Indiana the land
is admirably adapted to the raising of
apples, and as yet Is but little used
for that purpose. The apple tree
seems to want air drainage. Tho
drainage in the soil IL better on the
hills than In the valleys, and this IL
an advantage that the apple tree ap-
preciates. There is a difference In
trees as to the amount Of air that
must come to their roots to permit
them to grow, as is evident in the fact
that some trees will die If their roots
are in water, while others grow best
in swamps where the water covers
t.eir roots at all times. The apple
tree is never swamp loving tree. 1t
