blooming.
All the florists have ON hand suitable
bulbs which. if put in now, will begin TO
bloom after the frost has left the
ground And not until that time Will
the sensitive bulbs put forth their roots
This being so there is 40 danger OF

DIES FROM PRICK ON HIS THUMB
Harry Mitchell Contracts Blood Pois-
on From a Slight Wound.

SEATTLE, March 2S.-While deco
rating his horses on ST. Patricks day.
Harry Mitchell pricked his thumb on
piece of wire. Now he is dead, having
breathed his last ten days after the
accident.
Mitchell was the driver of an INDIE
pendent Brewery wagon. Early on
the morning of March II he hitcned
his horses to the wagon, and brought
forth a bolt of green ribbon and a
bunch of flags, with which to deco
rate the team. While draping the ami
mails one of them in some unknown
manner caused a piece of wire to pen
citrate Mtichell's left thumb. The
wound was very SMALL but it went to
the bone.
Mitchell was annoyed from the start
and did not go to work, fearing that
it might develop into a painful sore if
irritated. DR.. E. c. Neville was called
to the sick mans bedside when it was
too late to save him. He stated, after
examining the case, that there was one
chance in ten for his recovery, and
went to work to save the mans life.
The arm was fearfully swollen, and
full of pus, and the lymphat glands
had absorbed the poison. The venom
had also spread into the thoracic cav
tiles, and the heart was beating 100
times a minute. Mitchell died at $50
yesterday afternoon.

Was the "Gang" Asleep.

Some of the republicans who are
styled as being members of the gang
or push are still trying to figure out
how the appointment of Nash was
brought about. They were of the opin-
ion that the clerkship matter had been
cut and dried when Crocker Baker,
Stevenson, Piles and Sweeney put up
the deal at Olympia They were given
to understand that the cards had been
properly stacked and when the deal
was played out the appointments slated
would come out just right. The APP
pointment of Nash was certainly a
good political coup, and for once the
local leaders of the machine" were
caught fast asleep. In fact, not. one of
them knew that the friends of Nash
were circulating petitions among the
local attorneys asking the circuit
judges to appoint him. When the an
nouncement was made in the Evening
Statesman that Nash had been chosen
the gang was struck with amaze
ment.
Harry B. Strong, who was named
yesterday as deputy clerk, was today
receiving congratulations from his
many friends in Walla Walla. Mr..
strong proved capable and efficient
during the time he acted as deputy in
the two courts when Judge Hanford
presided and the attorneys Of Walia
Walla are especially pleased that Mr..
Strong is to be retained in the office.

LAND BOOMERS MAKE FALSE
REPRESENTATIONS ABOUT
PALOUSE PROJECT
As Result Land Values Around Pasco
and ConnelI Are Very Much
Inflated.

Land and lots are booming around
Pasco, Wash, and Connell, Wash, on
the hope of the government carrying
out it's proposed Palouse project to ir-
rigate $4,000 acres of the arid land be-
tween the two towns. and there will be
a great deal of grief for those investing
money there before there is any legiti-
mate business to return their money
to them.
The PaIouse project never has been
assured, and there is still a consider
able doubt Of it's being carried out.
Real estate boomers have made false
representations of the governments
position, and land that could have
been had for the taxes two years ago,
81 now changing hands at $35 an acre,
while town lots, formerly worth about
$40, are quoted at $500. Even brick
buildings nave gone up at Cornell, al
most a desert.
T. A. Noble, resident engineer of the
United States geological survey, said:
Il fully realize the serious condition of
affairs that have grown up under the
Palouse project, quite beyond my pow
er to prevent. 1 have tried every way
to prevent selling and investing in
lands under the proposed government
irrigation works, because 1 have al
ways realized that there were unset
tied questions both as to private in
terests in right of way involved, and as
to engineering difficulties that might
possibly lead to the postponment of the
construction or the abandonment of
the project.

No Sudden Alarm.

There is no special necessity at
settled questions which it will take ad-
ditional time to solve, but as yet none
Of these have proven impracticable,
and 1 am as anxious as anyone could
be that all these matters should be
settled in such a way that the board
of consulting engineers may consider
the project feasible.

on the land in good faith, and who
spent money they could i'll afford to
spend in the hope of making a home
for themselves and family, have my Sc

with my duties to the government and
the people, to help them. To those
who have gone in to make investments
for speculative purposes, 1 nave no
sympathy, because, they could have
known the facts, if they did not know
them, so far as they were known, and
they should have realized the chances
they were taking.
Il have received several letters, one
in a very unmannerly and unjust crit
icism of my action in regard to the Pa
louise project, charging me by insinua
ton with Implicitly of various kinds,
which it is not necessary to refer to
nor answer. Anyone who has desired
to do so has obtained the facts as far

has come about, I think, by prospective

statements of those whose selfish in

Harry Strong Is Receiving CongratuIa-

Many politicians of the state and
not a few in WaIla Walla have been
trying to figure out just what George
Stevenson meant when he became a
partner with State Senator Clapp in
the purchase of the Diller Hotel at
Seattle. Some ventured the opinion
that George was going to get out of
politics in the state and endeavor to
earn living without working as
lobbyist for the railroads and assist
ing hungry office seekers in getting po-
sitions within the gift of the people
According to the Seattle Times it
should not be a very difficult matter
to ascertain one of his first plans
Stevenson has never cherished a very
cordial feeling for John L. Wilson,
and especially since Wilson and mis-
friends were instrumental in having
Frank Nash appointed as clerk of the

moving to Seattle without leaving his
old emnities behind. If Wilson expects
to control King county politics, and
his repeated declarations to that eff

in that direction, he will find Steven
son in the road. The district into which
Stevenson will remove is also the one
in which Senator Clapp, his business
associate, is to reside, and neither of
the two is apt to maintain very ami

(By the Associated Pres. }

Chicago, April 10.--Edward +.
Dunno was installed mayor of Chica-
go tonight in a most simple manner.
When he and Carter III. Harrison, the
retiring mayor, entered the council
chamber they were greeted with APP
plause from the aldermen and a
crowd that filled the small gallery.
There were no flowers in evidence, for
a rule passed some time ago by the
council prohibiting the presence OF
floral tributes in the council cham
Der was strictly enforced.
Mayor Harrison in a few words
presented former Judge Dunno to the
members of the council The mayor
elect then took the oath Of office,
thanked the aldermen for their cordial
manner in which they had received
him and expressed the hope that he
would be able to fill the executive
chair as capably as had Mayor Har-
riSon.
The regular business of the council
was then taken up.
