Annie S. Peck, Mountain Climber.

The slender woman who attempts
the ascent of Mount Huascaran, in the
Peruvian Andes, the present summer
expects to be successful this time with
out a doubt. She started on her Jour
ney alone. She particularly wants no
white man along, saying her Indian
boys are worth ten times as mucn as
men of her own race.
On her former try at Huascaran the
cold became SO intense near the top
that the Indians could no longer en-
dure it. The thermometer marked 20
degrees below zero. This time Miss
Peck has among her luggage Eskimo
clothing, which she expects to sew fast
upon her natives and thus protect
them from freezing. No one has ever
yet climbed Huascaran to its summit.
Miss Peck's ascent of Mount Sorata, in
Bolivia, several years ago made a rec
ord for mountain climbing in South
America. Miss Peck is delicate look
ing blond woman, who is not the least
delicate, however. She has grit and
mind power enough to carry her
through anything.

DEAD MAN AN EMBEZzLER
James H. Rice, Once Auditor of Indi-

DefauIter.

Indianapolis. Aug. 1.-THE expert
accountants who have been going over
the books in the several offices in the
state house for three months have re-
ported to Governor Hanly that James
H Rice, who was auditor of state
from 1888 to 1887, went out of Office
a defaulter in the sum of $4,000. The
books of his office show that he re-
ceived the money, but there is no re-
ceipt on file showing that he paid it
out nor do the books of the treasurer
show that it was ever received by that
official.
Rice is also shown in the report of
the experts to have retained insurance
fees, as did his predecessors and sue
eeSsors in Office. the aggregate of these
fees being nearly $4,000. Rice died
fourteen years ago and his estate has
been settled up, but the governor

Woman Not Afraid of iiighwaymen.

Fifteen dad men" swooped down
upon a small Iowa town one Saturday
not long ago and took possession.
They were armed and desperate and
robbed and looted stores and private
houses. The men of the place, taken
by surprise, were completely terror
lied, and the highwaymen worked
their will until Monday night. Then
at midnight three of them made raid
on a liquor store kept by John Fair
graves. AS usual, they lined the men
in the place, hands up, against the
wall and began going through them,
the proprietor of the place included
Mrs Fairgraves lives over the store,
and she heard the noise. Snatching q
revolver, she ran down. She pointed
the pistol at one fellow and said,
Hand that gun over or I'll blow your
head OFF, He handed it over. With a
weapon in each hand Mrs. Fairgraves
then faced the other two desperadoes
and forced them to throw up their
hands. 1t was 80 sudden" you see.
By that time some of the frightened
men recovered their presence of mind
and helped Mrs. Fairgraves land the
three fellows in jail. By next day the
men OF the place got courage enough,
under the leadership OF Mrs. Fair
graves, to drive the rest of the gang
out of town

FROM DOWN
The STATE
telegraph News by Direct
Wire from All Over
Indiana

Laporte, Ind. Aug. 1.-THE city is
shocked over disclosures made in the
private life of Rev Samuel Y. VIII
liams. pastor Of the First Christian
church of this city for the last year.
Before the official board of the church
Thursday night he made confession
that for six years he had led a dual
life, and that while he had preached
to people on Sundays, and had talked
to them of the sinfulness of worldly
life, and had exhorted them to be
Christians and live lives of purity, he
himself. had been practicing the very
opposite
Made Their Hair Stand on End.
SO amazed were the members of the
board that at the conference following
the pastors confession, they decided
that he must be mentally unbalanced,
and that many of the things which he
had confessed TO committing had eth
err been imagined or exaggerated. Rev.
Williams confession to the official
board was voluntary and not the re-
suit of any discoveries that members
of the church had made. though the
conduct of the pastor had been
watched by a few for some time ow-
ing to the charge made some months
ago by a well-known woman here, that
he had offered her indignities. This
charge was held to be absurd.
ANONYMOUS Persecution Follows.
Since then Williams has been the
object of every sort of persecution
from anonymous sources, and this is
known to have weighed heavily on his
mind. The board believes that part Of
bis indiscretions, admitted by the pas
tor are true but that the larger part
are due to hallucination as the result
of remorse and also as the result Of
persecution. Williams is married, and
he admitted that he and his wife had
been living almost a dogs life for some
time, owing to incompatibility of tenn
permanent. The couple is now sepa-
rated.

under the auspices of the University
of California have been elaborate and
extensive, probably more so than any
ever conducted along these lines be-
fore. AS a result of this experience
Prof. Clarke, always practical, was
eminently so in this instance, going
into the details of the work so minute
ly and explaining the results so clear
ly, that even the most skeptical of
his audience must have been convinced
that this most perplexing of all insect
problems in the orchards is nearing a
satisfactory solution.
Some of the most important points
brought out in the discussion were as
follows: That two sprayings for early
apples Chose harvested before the
first of September) and three or per-
haps four sprayings for late apples,
has resulted in the Pajaro valley in
90 per cent. of the crop being free
from the ravages of the cOdling worm
and other surface feeding insects.
That no fixed time can be set for the
application of remedies. That the
treatment for this insect, in common
with all other insect pests, to be sue
cessful must be governed by it's de-
velopment under conditions that exist
in each different locality. That Paris

green, even the best, is positively dan
gerous in localities where moisture
on the foliage in the form of dew or
fog is prevalent. That Disparene,
manufactured by the Bowker Insecti-
eide Co., and sold by the Portland Seed
Co., who advertise it in this issue,
has proven under all conditions safe,
reliable and very efficient remedy for
the codling worm. That the method
of applying the remedy and the noz-
zles to be used in applying it differ
with the earlier and later applications.
The first spraying, Prof. Clarke rec
commended to be made in a directly
downward direction, and delivered in
coarse stream with sufficient force
to drive it through the encircling
calyx cavity. With the later spray
ings, the object sought is to cover as
evenly as possible the exposed sur
faces of the growing fruit and foliage
with a deposit of the poison. To &C
complsh this fine nozzle is employed
and the material applied in the form
of a floating mist.

THE INSTITUTE
A Successful Farmers Exchange.

a Successful Farmers Exchange.
The Ranch has received a very in
teresting communication from w. T.
Marshall, president of the Armstrong
(B. c. Farmers Exchange. Mr.. Mar
shall had read the article in The
Ranch regarding the efforts of |. e.
Thompson. of Everson, to organize a
producers exchange or association.
and it is hoped that the manner of
conducting the Armstrong exchange
NAV encourage the organization OF
similar exchanges in other places. Mr..
Marshall says:
"The Armstrong Farmers Exchange
was organized in 1903. and commenced
business in August of that wear with
less than two hundred dollars capital
and did business that wear to the
amount of SIG 000 In 1904 the bnsi-
ness increased to the amount of S29.'
900 and in 1905 to $4,000 or there
abouts
"The method of doing business was
this: Each member of the exchange
took one or more shares at ten dollars
ner share cash. or part cash. and bal
ance in produce in the fall. In addi-
ton to taking shares each member
cave his or her personal note for
forty dollars payable on demand. Of
course it was not suDposed that these
notes would be used but held in bank
as collateral security, which, | am
pleased to say worked out according
ly. The management of the exchange
thought best, in the spring of 1905,
to ask each and every member to take
more shares, but with very little re-
sponse However, in January, 1906,
at our annual meeting the management
was able to declare a dividend of $14
per share on each and every share
paid up, not forgetting the enhanced

price on produce at delivery, from
one to five dollars per ton, on such
produce as potatoes, etc.
81 might say that our capital at the
beginning was very small, mere bag
atelle when taking into consideration
the necessity of building a warehouse
and engaging a general secretary and
a general manager, and | might also
state that in 1905 our capital consist
ed of somewhere in the neighborhood
of $1,000, not more but rather less.
However, it is very gratifying to be
able to state that we do not have to
beg or solicit for members, but those
farmers who did not see their way
clear to join the exchange in the be-
licitation in any way whatever.
"Now, you see what can be done
with a little determination and CO.
operation. Our neighboring town, or
rather the farmers of the Enderley
district, asked for and have become
a branch of the Armstrong farmers
exchange, through seeing the great
advantage of cooperation. In connec.
ton with the success of the Armstrong
exchange | must not forget to state
that the largest amount of credit must
be given to eur secretary and general
manager, IN. Jackson, one of the most
faithful ma Woodworking employees

Entire wheat bread must be we'll

two quarts of unsifted entire wheat
flour add a half a teacupful of sugar,
p teaspoonful of salt and half a cake
of compressed yeast or its equivalent
of dry yeast. dissolved in two tea
spoonfuls of warm water taken from
a scant quart of tepid water Mix
with the remainder of the water, beat
well and set to rise. When double in
size stir down, put into cast iron pans
to rise the second time. This dough
should bake longer and more slowly
than white bread. Sugar is necessary

used, but less can be used in the
bread if preferred.

them all over the back yard, hang a
