These men have df1fted in from

And what is stranger. itt Is reported

difference of opinion between the
farmers and the laborers' AZ to the
value of the latter.
All want work, but all want fancy

difficulty lies. But 1t is safe to say
that all differences will be easily ad-
iusted in the light of the banner

Wenatchec Man Receives Orders for
100000 Boxes.

e. Wagner, who took over 5000
boxes of apples from Wenatchee,
Wash, to Australia last fall where
he found a ready market for them,
returned recently from his long trip.
He came back by way of Europe,
where he visited a number of cities
and made complete circle of the
globe, says a Wenatchee letter.
After his return Mr.. Wagner stat
ed that he believed it would be pos
sible to market the output from the
wenatchee valley section in Austria
liza and European markets and he
will probably branch out extensively
in the export business.
He states he has an order for 1Oo,-
600 boxes of apples to go to Berlin
next fall. At an average of 50 per box
this order amounts to 100000 and
is regarded a good piece of business.
The fruit will be principally Della
ware Reds and Missouri Pippins. Or
ders for apples to go to London and
other British markets have been fre-
quent but so far as is known this is
the first order ever booked for the
German capital.

SNOW IN HIGH MOUNTAINS.
Central Idaho Yet Wrapped in Wilt


Charles Berg, of Walla Walla, re-
turned yesterday from an unsuccess-
eul attempt to reach Bob Wetter's
mining claim near Warren, Idaho,
says the Walla Walla Bulletin. Mr..
Berg left because of the deep snow
and the fact that it was impossible
to secure provisions.
The snow in central Idaho is eight
feet deep and Mr.. Berg was able to
get no nearer than a mile and half
of his destination. He was alone and
took about three weeks to make the
entire trip. Coming out there was no
transportation and he had to walk.
The claim he was trying to reach
is near the Sesech mountains. 1t is
the one worked by Bob Wetter, now
serving a life sentence in the Idaho
prison for the murder of Chris Long,

Beckett Says Request was
Refused.
PRESIDENT 7. c. BOWEN
Says That Prof. Beckett
Made no Request.
Second Affidavit Filed with State
Commissioners : Board is Again
Ordered to Send Papers.

G. M. Beckett has filed second
affidavit with the state school COM
missioner, this affidavit being in re-
lgard to the first examination in which
lhe is said to have failed to secure
passing grades. FRIDAY morning, ].
wv. Jacoby, clerk of the city board
of school examiners, received another
telephone communication from the
state commissioners office, informing
him of the filing of the second affi-
Idavit. At his request, the affidavit
was read over the phone.
The official who telephoned again
demanded that Mr.. Beckett's exam
ination papers be sent in at once,
declaring that If this is not done,
mandamus proceedings against the
board will be started. This is the
day which the state commissioner
set for bringing the suit and as the
examiners have not given in an inch.
they expect that the commissioner will
keep his word. Just where the suit
will be started is not known.
In this second affidavit of Mr..
Becketts he says that after having
been notified of his failure to secure
passing rades in the first examination,
he requested that the examiners go
over his papers with him for the
purpose of discovering possible errors.
He claims that HIS request was re-
FUSED. T G. Bowen. president of
the board, says that Mr.. Beckett new
er made such request.
John II. Clark, the third member of
the board of examiners, states that
from the beginning he has been in
favor of sending in Beckett's papers
70 the state commissioner. He states
that last Monday he filed his papers
with the clerk.

CONGRESS ABDIcATEs.

What is the use of Congress
meeting in December when Presi-
dent Roosevelt aud Bert Hopkins,
the junior Senator from Illinois,
can do all the business? They have
just agreed that Congress shall not
undertake tariff revision and if
they can settle that question in
advance without consulting with
the 2S2 other Republican members
of congress there is no good reason
why they cant settle the less i'm
portant questions of appropriations,
etc.
Have the Republican members of
Congress abdicated in favor of the
President and Bert Hopkins or
have they delegated the settlement
Of the tariff issue? 1t would seem
so.

publican representatives of the
