SANDERS COUNTY MYSTERY.
Eight People Are Now Under Arrest
on Suspicion.

on Suspicion.
Thompson Falls, Nov. About four
months ago o. D. Clearwater, ranch
man living near White Pine, disappear
ed. At the time he was living with
a Mrs. Fitzgerald, who represented
herself to be his wife, notwithstanding
the fact that she secured a divorce
at the last term of court from Fitz-
gerald and resumed her maiden name
of Reynolds.
Ever since Clearwater's disappear
ance it has been common gossip
around White Pine that he was muir.
dered by either Mrs. Reynolds or by
her sons, two of whom live near the
Clearwater ranch. The reason assign
ed for the murder was that either
Mrs. Reynolds, growing tired of her
relations with him, had killed Clear
water SO as to obtain his property,
or else that her sons, through hatred,
had murdered him, as they had many
times threatened to do.
Yesterday Mr.. Emigh, sawyer at
a lumber camp, who had been doing
little detective work, found where
the ground had been recently disturb
ed and, upon digging, found the body
of Clearwater. While the body is bad
ly decomposed, five bullet holes can
be readily seen.
Eight persons are now under arrest,
including Mrs. Reynolds and her two
sons. The preliminary hearing will
be held tomorrow and it is expected
that some of the prisoners will, in their
eagerness to get free, reveal all of the
circumstances surrounding the MUIR
der and place the guilt on one or two,
as it is believed that at least five
know the entire facts.

SMOKE PROOF

The feed door on this stove is guaranteed smoke
proof and does away with the escape OF smoke, SCOT
and gas into the house. Side feed doors used on
other stoves discharge cloud of gas and soot-lad
ened smoke into the house and scatter SCOT and
ashes over the carpet when opened.
Another point: In feeding coal into a side feed
door it has to be thrown into the stove, which
usually results in scattering much of it the
floor. With Clearly smoke proof feed door
the coal is poured into the stove even to the dust
in the bottom of the bod without a particle being
spilled on the floor.
This clean and economical stove burns the gases
which often escape into the rooms with other
stoves. The annoyance and dirt from kindlng
new fires is dispensed with. the rooms heat
ed up for two or three hours each morning with
the fuel put in the night before and the Fire Is
Never Out. COLES ORIGINAL HOT

more delicate plants. 1T may be said
then with confidence that in the region
of the Lake OkeechObee the lands
which may be recovered for sugar
making purposes have all the advant-

"The manufacture of sugar from
the cane in this region may be post

beginning of February, and the
months of February, March and April
be of greatest activity in sugar manu-

"AnOther important consideration in
connection with the muck lands of the
OkeechObee county is found i'm the
method contemplated for their cult

ed by numerous drainage canals, and
by means of these canals not only can
the land be cultivated by steam from
engines carried on boats i'm the canals
themselves, but also the products of the
fields can be transported on the same
canal with an economy which will
render the competition of mule or

Of the facts and conditions as they

self, and should be read by all parties

Prof H. w. Wiley. chief chemist of
| the Z. s. Agricultural Department, in
his report on these lands, published in
the report of the Secretary of Agri-
culture for 1891, says:
''The origin of the muck soil is of
course vegetable matter. There are
no data for estimating the length of
| time required for the formation of
these muck deposits. 1t is known that
H'In regard to the depths of the SOIL
it varies from the merest covering at
the edges of the sand to from - to
| 16 feet in its deepest portions. The
greater part of the muck lands, as be
| fore indicated. will vary from three
to six feet deep, while along the
OkeechObee the average is much great
er, the soil varies in color from almost
jet black to black brown.
The Okeechobee muck, however. is I'M
derlaid with thick stratum of shell
mari containing pebbles very rich in
phosphorus, and this rests upon a
cOralene or limestone formation"
''The question of climate is also one
of prime Importance. especially in the
consideration of the culture of sugar
and rice The climate of Florida is
divided distinctly into rainy and
dry season. The rainy season begins
early in the summer. the latter part of
May or June. and continues until
about the middle of September or 1st
of October From October to June the
climate of the central peninsula of
Florida is essentially dry, althO' show
ers may frequently occur. There is
also an advantage to the growing
cane crop in having the rainfall come
during the hot months at the period
of most rapid growth. 1t is equally
advantageous. however. during the
manufacturing period. to have dry
season. For this reason the period of
the manufacture of sugar in Florida
has many advantages over the same
time of year in louisiana"
''In Louisiana. especially after No

Welded large crOpS-cOrn from 30 to
60 bushels rice from 40 TO 10 bushels,
oats from 20 to 30 bushels per acre.
During the fall of 1856, 10 acres of
cane was planted on the lands on
which these crops We're grown. In
1887. besides the 40 acres of cane
80 acres of rice were planted. which
yielded an average of 30 bushels OF
rice per acre in the fall of 1887. Dur
ing the summer of 1887 Mr.. Hamilton
Disston purchased a half interest in
the plantation. after the same had
been established and 10 acres of cane
planted. In the winter of 1887 mill
WAS erected and 40 acres of the cane
ground: this cane made an average
of 400 pounds of ''96 test sugar per
acre: (the mill was not completed
until February 1888. and the crop
1881 The remainder of the 40 acres
of cane was planted, making the cane
acreage on the plantation in 1889
some 300 acres; in corn and rice about
80 acres. at which time the manage
ment was changed, the original owner
(myseIf) selling to Mr.. Disston his
entire interest
The capital stock of the plantation
was increased from 100000 to $780,

cane at no time exceeded 600 acres.
though it has been largely exaggerated
in various statements. The yield of
these crops during the four years was
an average of 80 tons Of cane, with
an average of 1000 pounds of pure
sugar per acre. After the crops of
80 and 30 the plantation was allowed
planted. though the capital stock was
increased and large bodies of land
purchased ut very high prices. At the
same time the property Gncluding Il
large territory of newly purchased
lands) was bonded. or mOrtcaged for
81 100000. making the total invest
ment of $2.OOO.OO0 on an ordinary
sugar plantation. for which S2J0,OO0
would have been ample capital.
No skill or knowledge was displayed
in the growing or manufacture of
sugar after 1890: the whole effort was
TO sell stock and buy lands, sell bonds
and buy more land; the stock was
sold to the public. the money received
was used to purchase lands from the
same parties who sold the stock. and
who afterwards sold the bonds. These
are all matters of record and can be
found in the records of the Clerk of
