h. ORCHARD WAS AT SALT LAKE
1t Is Thought He Made the Bomb in
that City Which Was Used in
Numbering Ex-Governor
Stuenenberg.

Salt Lake, Utah, Jan. 9.-Harry Or
chard, suspected of completely in the
assassination of Ex-Governor Stuenen-
berg, arrived in Salt Lake on the day
before Thanksgiving, and registered at
the Cullen hotel. A few days after his
Arrival he met here Arthur Dolan,
whom he had known in the Cripple
Greek district during the 1904 troubles.
He took Thanksgiving dinner with
Dolan's family. Dolan was around
with him for two or three weeks. They
went hunting and fishing together.
Dolau does not know where Orchard
secured the fishing tackle, bat Thiel
detectives are trying to ascertain If
what he used here correspond with that
found in Ex-Governor Stuenenberg s
yard after the assassination.
Although Orchard and Dolan were
much together, Orchard never invited
Dolan to his room. He spent much
time alone there, and the officers are
working on the theory that it was there
he manufactured the bomb. He would
always make appointments to meet
Dolau the barroom or elsewhere.
Whit Orchard much of the time was
a man whom Dolan does not known.
This man frequently played slough
in parties with Dolan and Orchard, but
Dolan has not seen him since Orchard
left.
On December 13 Orchard bought a
ticket to Spokane and paid 50 extra fol-
the privilege of stopping over at Nam
pa. He also checked trunk to Nampa

The civil governor, who has been

organized attack, and the alarming
fact remains that the anti-Jewish feel

Last year was a fat one for the
wheat farmers of Washington. The
second largest crop of wheat in the
history of the state was raised in 1905
and had the production been only
about 100000 bushels more, the crop
would have been twice as large as that

vest was only a little smaller than the
bumper crop of 1901, when virgin
fields produced phenomenally large
acreage yield. and when the grand to-
al OF 34,51S.96S bushels were reaped.
This years crop amounts to 32,516,810
bushels, as against 32.140, SOB bushels
n the great year Of 1904. These fig
ures are from the latest estimates of
The department of agriculture.

were very large, and are only less
notable than the wheat harvest be-
cause they constitute a smaller total
value. The production of oats, for in

GOLD AND SILVER PRODUCTION
Great Gain in United States over Last
Year.

Great Gain IN united states over Last
Year.
The preliminary estimates of the di-
rector of the mint upon the production
of gold and silver in the Unitedl States
in the calendar year 1905 show a gain
of approximately $40, 900, 900 in gold
and 900 900 ounces in silver over the
product of 1904. The gain in gold is
almost entirely represented by the in
creased output of Alaska, the product
of which is placed at STA, $50, 100,
against 50, 100, 500 in 1904. The Alas
ka gain is nearly all in the Traana dis
trict, the returns for which are $5,-
l07 900. California shows loss of
about 81 800, 900, due, it is said, to Sc
we're drouth, which mot only brought
hydraulic operationes to a standstill,
but interfered with quartz mills to
some extent. Nevada shows gain of
about $500, 900, and Utah as much.
Colorado gained about 1000, 900;
South Dakota, Montana, Idaho, Ore
gon and Arizona are estimated at
about the same as in the previous
year. The Klondike continues to fall
Off and is about $4,000, 900 below
1904. Washington shows $36S, 800 in
gold and about $40, 900 in silver.
