ROBINS RELEASED
 FROM INSANE ASYLUM

Special telegram, Seattle ePost-Intellisencer.
 Portland, June 29.-At the instance of Presiding Judge Sears, of the circuit court, S. P. Robins was today released from the Crystal Springs sanitarium at Mount Tabor, to which institution he was sent from Alaska last April as an insane patient.
 Robins declared that he was one of the incorporators of a placer mining company near Rampant, Alaska, his brother-in-law, a clergyman, being man. ager of the company. A disagreement arose over the business management of the company and Robins alleges that his brother-in- flaw had him sent to the asylum.
 Dr. Gillespie, of the institution, said that the young man was not insane when he was committed there.
 The news that Robins has been re- leased is not surprising. At the time of his trial in Rampant his physician testi- fled that his mental faculties would probably regain their normal condition before he could reach the hospital. He had tried, or had pretended to try, to destroy himself. At his trial M. E. Koonce was the complaining witness, and that is the sole foundation for as- serting that "his brother-in-la had him sent to the asylum.'l

BAKER SPRINGS
 TO BE DOOMED
ManIey's Enterprise Expected to
 Make a Great Change in Condi- tions the Other Side of the Divide

Men from across the divide say the improvements being undertaken at Baker Creek Hot Springs mean that that place will soon become one of ex- traordany importance in affairs on the other side.
 Report has it that the hotel to be built at the springs by Frank Manley will cost $lOO,OOO; Baker creek will be cleared of Instructions so that boats with passengers and supplies may make regular trips to the resort; ample stock will be carried to accommodate miners, and the place will expand into one of the liveliest centers in the whole Panama valley.
 Aside from the advantages of the sit nation for trade and for d health and pleasure resort, the country to the northward when prospected is expected to yield extensive pay, and the agricul- tural features of the district will be developed to an extent hitherto scarcely dreamed of With regard to the farm- ing possibilities, it is asserted that the ''warm streak" eliminating at the springs is of an extent many times greater than generally supposed.
 The grounds around the springs are to be plated and lots are to be free to those who will improve them.
 Withal, the situation is so favorable and the boost given it by Mir. Manley's enterprise is so emphatic that not few have concluded that great things are going to happen over there.
 Ben Baker, who has been in town for the past several days, will have charge of the trading post.

thoughts so we must give to those who
follow us. Those who have been great
borrowers should be great lenders. Men
are needed to stand mp for the principal
of righteousness and help to make the
world better. The great principles of
government should be to make it easy to
do right and hard to do wrong. We
should not only worship God but do SER
vice for him by helping some one to do
right then we will be great lenders to the
future.

Rain Damages Crops.

A rain period of nearly three weeks
closed with a heavy shower last Friday
night, making a rainfall OF 1927 inches in
three days. The excessive moisture fol-
lowed by extreme humidity and a tenn
perature up to 80 and above last Saturday,
Sunday and Monday has greatly dam
aged the crops.
The rain for a week previous caused
the early tomatoes to crack and to sour SO
as to become rotten in shipping, while
the blooms of late tomatoes were beaten
off so that there will not be over a half
a crop and not that in low ground. The
cantaloupe and water melon vines were
killed in some places and where they sur
vive the fruit will be short in quality and
quantity. The corn crop was damaged
and the late potato vines are also injured.
Farmers who have low ground declare
they never had such a poor prospect for
twenty-five years.
The only crop not damage is grass.

Poison Ivy and Snakes.

There is no possible excuse for the pres
ence of the poison ivy on either private
or public lands. 1t can be exterminated
and its removal is clearly desirable in
view Of the bother it causes many who
come in contact with 1T. People kill snakes
whenever they can, yet they will pass by
the poison ivy OF their own properties
and the ivy creates far more trouble than
the snakes.
