E0CUMENT OF KING CARTER.

L. NJ. Brantz, who has perhaps
more ancient documents pertaining
70 the early history of this section
than any other man around here,
showed rare old writing at the Star
,fiice. lt is the power Of attorney
granted TO Robert Carter, liking
Carter in ITO by Catherine Fair
Fax, mother Of Lord Fairfax. She
was the daughter of Lord Culpeper,
from whom she Inherited all this
great stretch of territory, and from
whom, in turn, ye Lorde Fairfax in.
herited these broad aud fertile acres.
10 this most interesting document
the hanghty geotle-woman claims
everything with the exception of the
AIR, and it is wonder she did not
profess to have mortgage on that.
Robert Garter was an ancestor of
Shirley Garter, of Misunderstanding

When Caters Creek received its name
For sail boats it was known TO fame, e.

For boats are run by gasoline.

And seem TO praise, 10 tones not mean

PASSES THE MILLION MARK.
Portland Exposition Attended by
More Than Expected Altogether.

The million mark has been reached
and passed in the record of attend
ance at the Lewis and Clark Expo
sition. When their, 420 admissions
of Aug. We're added to the aggre-
gate since the fair opened on June
|, it was found that in sixty-three
days 1,013,551 gate admissions had
been recorded by the turnstiles.
The admission department was jubil-
ant, and all the rest of the exposition
officials and the people of Portland
and the Pacific northwest in general
Joined in the jubilation. Figures
tell the truth, and these figures show
that the Lewis and Clark Centennial
is success.
Before the fair opened there were
those who said: well, if you have
a million attendance during the
four and half months of your show
you will be doing very we'll" The
management, of course, expected a
total considerably in advance of this,
but nobody was sanguine enough to
count upon a million during the first
two months. With more than half
the exposition period still to run, 1t
is now the popular prophecy that at
least 2,500,000 will reached The
experience of all expositions has
been that the largest attendance is
enjoyed during the last two months.

There are nine ofthese shows, and all

The skill with which the Port
land streetcar lines handle the
crowds of visitors to the exposition
is matter of favorable comment
from all quarters. Though from
$4,000 to 10000 people ride to the
fair every day. there is practically no
crowding and the conductors are
winning praise for their uniform
courtesy and attention to the pas
sengers. The exposition is only fif-
teen minutes ride from the business

CHARGED WITH ILLEGALLY
SIGNING OTHERS NAMES
School District Clerk Ladder of Top
penisil Under Arrest - Girl
Charged with Forgery.

An epidemic of forgery seems to
have struck Yakima county within
the past few weeks. The biggest
sensation in this connection resulted
when W. r. Ladder was arrested, on
Thursday afternoon last on the
charge OF forging the names of the
directors of school district No. 40, in
which Toppenish is situated, and Of
which Mr. Ladder has been clerk for
several years, to warrants known to
aggregate very large sum. A
hearing was had before Justice
Nichols, and hail was placed at 50, 500.
and his bail was placed at $500.
1t would probably have been much
higher if the extent of the alleged
forgeries had been known at the
time.
If the statements given out are
correct, Ladder has at various times
in the past three or four years drawn
illegal warrants, forged the names
of the other directors of the district
thereto and drawn the money and ap-
propriated it to his own use. 1t
seems to have been case of
confidence misplaced. as Ladder has
had fun control of the districts bust
ness. hiring teachers, ordering sup
plies, paying bills, etc. The school
house at Toppenish is a four-room
frame building, and probably these
rooms could be furnished and equip
ped for school work at a cost of $3.50
or $500. II is stated that there are
in the county treasurer Office can
Celed warrants which have been
drawn for furniture or supplies for
tnese four rooms agregating s1,132.
What the total loss sustained by the
district will be is as yet not definite
ly known, but it is believed it will
reach $4,000 or $6,5U0
The discovery of the shortage was
made few days ago by the other
two directors. VIM. Shearer and VIM
McAuliff A warrant in the sum of
$3.50 cashed by the Yakima Ma
tional bank, turned up during an
examination of Ladders books,
which bore the names of Messrs
Shearer and McAuliff These sigma
lures they declare to be forged
This discovery led to others, and was
followed by Ladders arrest.
There is in the Office of the county
treasurer paper bearing what pur-
ports to be Mr.. Shearer's signature,
and accompanying it is an affidavit
from Mr.. Ladder to the effect that
the signature is genuine. This, it is
alleged, is forgery, uttered for the
purpose of aiding the clerk to issue
false warrants more easily, il being
necessary for the warrants to be
signed by at least two of the di-
rectors Of the district. Most OF the
alleged Illegal warrants are drawn
for supplies, fuel, etc, but one of
them is for site for schoolhouse,
although such expenditure was never
