1t is Said that three Of the StingieSt
men, who live in an adjacent county,
were in town yesterday. One of them
will not drink as much water as he
wants unless it be from another mans
we'll. The second forbids any of his
family from writing anything but a
small hand" as it is a waste of ink
to make large letters. The third
stops his clock at night in order to
save wear and tear on the machinery.
All of them decline to take their
county paper IN the ground that 1t is
a terrible strain on their SpectacleS to
read newspapers, even in the day
time.

TO bring up a child in the way he
should go, travel that way yourself.
Stories first heard at a mothers knee
are never wholly forgotten; a little
spring that never dries up on our
journey through scorching years. The
sooner you get a child to be a law IN
to himself, the sooner yaumake a man
of him. Children need models more
than criticism. We a neve check
what is in the young unless we cher
iSh what is good in them.

Most men who own a watch think
they know ell about it. They have
the number fixed in their memory in
case it is stolen. They could proba-
bly, pick it out from 80 other watches
with their eyes shut. But how many
men know that their watch is a COM
pass and will tell north from south as
accurately as it will tell the time of
day? Stanley, the explorer, did not
know it until he had CROPPED his way
through the dark continent and met
a Belgian sailor on the coast. Every
watch is a compass. II you point the
hour hand to the sun the south is
exactly half way between the hour
and the figure XII to the dial. Sup
pose for instance, it is 4 o'clock.
Point the hand indicating 4 to the
and the NJ on the watch is ex-.
actly south. If it is eight o'clock point
the hand indicating s to the sun and
the figure Y on the dial is due south.
No man need get lost if he carries a
watch.

class in the great work of canal
building.
Dark days once crossed the path
of w. T. Clark. He slipped the bit
ter waters of poverty and witnessed
the various works fall down and de-
cay. But he kept an active brain
working for the bettering of his
condition. He enlisted members of
the army of financiers, for which Sc
attic is noted, in the cause of irriga-
tion. He turned the floods of the
mountains upon the land and caused
many blades of grass to grow where
none had grown before. Success
crowned ms efforts in every canal en-
terprise. From a promoter he has
risen to the position of president OF
bank and three profit producing
irrigation canal companies. He is a
typical man of the west, ever on the
watch for new and difficult problems
in the making of places for homes.
He is entitled to a wreath of honor
as a head mark in the class of west
ern builders"

LEAK STARTED
IN BIG DAM
Lamb-Davis Dam at LeayenwOrth
Again Threatened With
Destruction.

The report was received here today
that the Lamb-Davis dam at Leav-
enwOrth had been carried away again
Communication was established
with Leave4worth and it was learned
that the first report was much ex-
aggerated. A break was started by
the water this morning, but by hard
work the flow was checked and the
danger averted.
Last fall the dam went out during
the excessive high water, at which
time many thousands of feet of logs
were carried down stream by the
freshet. The damage then done has
just been repaired and the gates
were shut yesterday for the purpose
of raising the water in order that
the mill might resume saving. The
new work had not settled sufficiently
and the weight of the water started
leak that caused the report circu-
lated here.

Praise for w. T. Clark.

Under it's department entitled
Builders of the West" the Wester-
ner. a magazine published in Seattle
publishes the following eulogy OF
w. T. Clark:
Modern science has made man
master of the earth and her powers
of producing fruits, cereals and
flowers. Desert areas have been
brought out from barren sand dunes
to fields of profit. Irrigation is the
KEEP that unlocks those treasures.
Thousands of homes stand now
where once was sagebrush and DESC
lation. The most prominent char
acter in the story of irrigation devel-
opment is w. T. Clark. His name
is written on the pages of history re
cording the building of the Yakima
and Wenatchee valleys, in Washing
ton, and the valley of the Yellow
stone in Montana. He has led the
waters of rivers captive and won
out in the conquest of arid America.
Today he stands at the head of his

mand on the part of the concrete
mixers for an increase in wages from
..2.5O to$ 800 per day. Labor
leaders are saying nothing concern
ing the contest but the sentiment is
not strong for a prolonged tie-up.
1t is set forth by the contractors
that wages for the workingmen in
the building lines in Seattle are
higher than in any other city on the
coast save San Francisco. 1t is de-
clared that conditions in the earth
quake city are such that no fair
comparison can be drawn between
the wage schedule of that city and
that in effect here.

Big Tie-Up in Seattle Building.

SEATTLE, Wednesday, March 20.
The first lockout against building
trades in the history of Seattle was
inaugurated yesterday, and fully
1000 men are out of employment.
The strike ties up fully three-fourths
of the buildings now in course of
erection. The buildings involved are:
The Empire Building and American
Savings Bank building at Second
avenue and Madison street; all the
unfinished buildings of James A.
Moore, including the Arcade building
on First avenue, into which the Unit
ed States singnal service corps Is
trying to move; the Melhorn build
ing on Second avenue; the Backus
warehouse structure on First avenue
south, and practically all the large
apartment houses now in course of
erection in the hill residence dis
tricts.
This represents an aggregate value
of about $5,000.000, according to
the statement of w. J. Waddingha
one of the leading members of the
Masters Building association.

New Bank Building
Handsome Structure
Swell Office Rooms Now Being Occupied
Columbia Valley Bank Opens in
New Quarters Monday

the west outside of the larger cities.
d. Gensinger, the dealer in land, Oc-
cupiel his cOmmodious Office yester-
day. and the Office rented by Prose
cutting Attorney Henry Grass, ad-
joining DR.. McCoy's suite, it being
prepared for his immediate tenure.
The corner room on this floor, one
of the finest Office rooms, if not the
finest in the city, will be the sanctum
of Attorney w. o. Parr. M. o. Mil
ler will also have an office on the
second floor. There are few very
desirable rooms not rented as yet. All
the apartments on the third floor,
with the exception of one suite, are
rented for rooming purposes.
There is not handsomer building
in the west than this striking struc-
ture. 1t is model of architectural
art both as to exterior and interior
finish. There is nothing left to be
desired in it's arrangement and
equipment, and for the purpose for
which it was built it is perfect in
every detail The arrangement of
the banking rooms was planned with
an eye both to convenience of the
patrons and employees of the institu-
tion and the finest possible artistic
effect. No expense has been spared
upon the fixtures that have been Sc
cured and when the bank is installed
in it's new abode it can boast of the
most splendid and imposing interior
of any similar institution west of the
Mississippi.

in the True Bill.
Especial to The Free Press. ]

ST. James, May 9.-Judge Lorin Cray
roasted the grand jury drawn to serve
at the May term OF the district conrt
here because of its failure to indict John
Husom, who eloped a number of weeks
ago with Mrs. lverson, the wife of a
farmer The Jurors listened to the evil
dence against Husom and after discuss
ing the case, took a vote on the ques.
ton of returning an indictment. But one
Juror cast his ballot in favor of true
bill and seven voted against an indict-
ment Four declined to vote.
Later the jury filed into the court
room and made its report When Judge
Cray learned that the inquisitors had not
indicted Husom, he at once turned ON
the gentlemen and lectured them pretty
severely, after which he discharged them
from further service. The Judge imme-
diately issued an order for the impanel-
ing of another grand jury. That body
received the instructions of the court and
retired. After celebrating for more than
two hours, an indictment was\returned
against Husom, and it is understood that
Mrs. Iverson will face a true bill also.

tried at this term of court He will be
defended by Attorney Lobben.

Bribery Charges Are Being Hurled
About Madison, Wis.

Madison, May l5.-lt is currently re-
ported that attempts have been made
to bride two legislators in the senatorial
contest now in progress here.
1t is asserted that an assemblyman
was offered $400 and a senator $4,000
by the agent of one of the candidates
Many of the best informed politicians
say they know the name of the sen
ator who was approached.
The incident became known when a
state official stated publicly that close
friend of his in the legislature came
to bride the men are both known and
said that he had been offered money to
vote for certain candidate.
The assemblyman is out of the city,
but it is said that a thorough ivesti9a
ton has already been made and that the
candidate and his agent who attempted
to bride the men are both known and

From wednesday Daliy.
Mankato has a new brass band, with
fifteen members, and styled the Tween
tieth Century band. 1t has been prac-
ticing for some time, and will make its

latter will continue as in the past, and
will have fifteen or eighteen members
1t claims to own the band instruments
and uniforms.
Last evening the members OF the two
bands met together to see whether they
could not come to some understanding
but in this they failed, and the meeting
is said to have been a warm one. The
result is that each band will have an
individual existence.

WORLD MOBILES THE SAME
Montana Man Had Sold His Property
Believing the End Near.

Great Falls, Mont, May l5.-The end
of the world, due yesterday morning ac-
cording to the representations of A. W.
Stanton, formerly wealthy stockman
failed to arrive as per schedule, and as
n result Stanton and his handful of fol-
lowers are left penniless and stranded.
Stanton recently had a revelation that
the trumpet of the Angel Gabriel would
sound at daylight on May Ii. Acting on
this inspiration, Stanton disposed OF all
his property, worth several thousand dol
lars, for $50, and rented house on the
top of hill near here, where with eight
disciples he since has been preparing
himself for translation to heaven by
fasting and prayer. For the last ten
DAYS the devoted band has been almost
constantly at prayer
Whe the trumpet did not sound at the
specified moment there was some aston
ishinent and tinge of regret on the part
of the disciples, but Stanton explained
that he had perhaps made a slight mis-
calculation as to the date, and Is pro
ceeding now to make a new forecast.
