BERRIES ARE RIPENING.
Kennewicl Now Shipping Early Crop
to Seattle.

Seattle, May S.-The first crate of
Kennewick strawberries arrived on
Western avenue this morning. Word
from that district indicates that the
crop is large one and 1900 pickers
have been advertised for.
The California berries that are ar
riving are in bad condition. Local
berries are looked for by the first of
next week. A rainstorm would greatly
improve the Lake Washington berries
as the last week of warm weather has
put a damper on their ripening.
Produce of all kinds is commencing
to come in from the local gardens and
the native asparagus which is arriving
is far better than that received from
California.

Although tomorrow will be the
twelfth day since the council passed
the resolution for the paving of Main
and Court streets, two days more will
be allowed for the filing of a re-
monstrance. This is because after the
resolution had been published two
days a slight change was made by Mr..
Carter, then city attorney, and conse-
quently the previous time was lost.
According to John McCourt, now city
attorney, 1t would not be safe to count
the first two days of publication as
such action might permit of trouble
in the future. Consequently the reso-
luton will be published the last time
on Friday May II.
No Remonstrance on Foot.
But the extra time for a remon-
STRANGE will have no effect on the sit
uation for no anti-paving movement
is now on foot. From all that can be
learned no effort whatever is being
made to secure signers for a re.
monstrance and apparently the
proposition is to go through without
trouble. Immediately after the pass
ing of the paving resolution there
was talk among some owners of re.
monstrating. However, no one APP
peared willing to lead such a move.
ment and nothing definite was done.
Among those disposed against paving
were several good citizens who have
been friends of progress, and they
were unwilling to take the new role
90 tA Ctr fv,ar
After the time for demonstrating
has expired the next step of the coun.
Gil will be to advertise for bids for
the bitulithic pavement. This was not
done simultaneously with the publica!
ton of the resolution as many sup!
posed. AS the time will not be up unt
til Friday an adjourned meeting will
probably be held at which the re-
corder will be authorized to ask for
bids
Since there is no remonstrance In
sight the only danger now ahead for
paving is that the financial condition
| of the city may be found lacking at
the last moment. However, this
morning Z. j. Murphy, chairman OF
| the finance committee, said he be-
lieved that by close economy the city
could pull through. He estimates the
city's portion of the expense at $l4'.
900.
East Court Must Wait.
But in order to carry out the paw
ing of the business section he believes
the macadamizing of East Court
street will have to be postponed. In
the opinion of Mr.. Murphy the paving
will be all the city can handle II q
summer. However. as many of the
East Court street property owners
signed a remonstrance against macad-
amizing they will certainly not object
IL their imnroYement is DELAYED.

intervals along two sides of the fields
In which he intended to use his electric
motor pillow and along these was strung

Now he was ready for the unique

copper wires were suspended between
the two lines of the steel rope, one the
feed and the other the return, and at

abling the motor to be driven at will

while the wire carrying the current
was always kept at fair distance
above the field. The plow was fas-
tened to the front OF the motor car

on the motor box. It sounds cumbrous

SIR q. WILLIAMS. OF Dulverton, Som

directed to religious affairs. and in
1887 he underwent conversion at
Bridgewater. He was then clerk.
and In 1641 he entered the service of
the dry goods firm OF George Hitch

ant.
In 1e43 he was influential In indus
ing some Of the other employees Of the
Arm to join with him In holding q
prayer meeting at stated intervals. On
June 9, 1874. twelve persons, of whom
young Williams was one, formed them

dom and to other countries. The first
on this continent were started In Bos-
ton and Montreal In 1851. seven years
after the start In London, and forty
more were formed in three years. The
first OF the annual British conferences
was held In 1858, and the flrst asso'
citation building was erected In 1866.
From 1868 to 1885 Mr.. Williams was
the treasurer Of the organization. and
In 1885 he became president His bust

success. and he became head Of the

this place he was born. 1t il an at
mosphere OF beauty, but 1t Is also an
atmosphere of work, and 1t Is from
this that he drew that 10Y of the
working" which keeps him so steadily
employed and which causes him to be
regarded as marvel among public
men. The surroundings of youth
were calculated to make him a lover
Of nature, but his bent was for mathe-
mates and devotion to the exact sci
ences. though heredity should have re-
lieyed this by an affection for out
doors. The splendor OF the Oneida
hills and the Oriskany valley was not
wholly lost upon him. however, even
amid the busy scenes Of a metropolis
throbbing with varie<s activities and
the charm of capital where intellect
Is supreme, and thus it was that In the
years of his greatest achievements he
returned to Clinton and purchased an
estate which adJoins the old home
stead. Here he has flne farm and
here, with his family, he spends az
much time as he can spare from his
official and professional duties.

the same disorder. He has convinced
himself that Koch's theory that the
diseases are not Identical In man and
in animals In worthless, and II II but

The general managers Of the big In

times, and will supply power to farm
