FIRST TEST CASE FAILS.

The Wilful Waste of Irrigation
Water is being discouraged.
The county authorities have taken
up the cudgel, and will see what can
be done to stop the abuse OF water
rights, and the nuisance of muddy
highways. A case was tried in a
local court Friday, to determine what
remedy the county had in cases
where citizens owning land next to
highways permit irrigation water to
overflow and damage the highway.
But the case in point determined
nothing, as the jury found the de-
PENDANT not guilty of wilfully or care
lessly permitting his irrigation water
to overflow. The evidence showed
that he had used due diligence and
reasonable caution in the care of his
ditch: that the overflow was due to
a gopher's hole, burrowed through
the bank, permitting the water to
overflow.
So the defendant was acquitted,
and has the giddy gopher to thank
for it.
Other users of irrigation water
who abuse it, or permit it to run to
waste over the public highways, will
find no refuge in the decision just
cited, however: no precedent was es-
tablished; the prosecution failed only
because it was shown that the leak
was due entirely to the gopher and
not through the contributory negli-
gence of the farmer.

SOLDIER" BORE A CHILD.
Romance Of AndersonviIIe Prison Just
Brought to Light.

- AS''@ ~ e'S"ss
Discussion of the movement toward
erecting Il monument to Captain Hen
ry WirZ, who was commandant of the
AnderSonville prison, has brought a
hitherto unpublished story to light
The relator of the story, resident
of Americas. GA. often visited the
prison, where her husband was doing
duty for the Confederate government.
Upon one of her visits Captain Wirz
said that he needed her assistance.
He conducted her to a small tent just
outside the prison stockade. Within
was wOman-a Federal prisoner with
a day old babe in her arms, while by
her side sat her husband, also pris-
oner.
The woman. in male attire. had been
brought to the prison pen Il few days
before. The captured party, including
her husband. We're Ohioans. and when
surprised by the Confederates she
hastily dOnned & suit of her husbands
clothes in order that they might net be
separated.
When the real situation had been dis
covered the day previous. through
statements made by her husband. Cap
tain Wirz had the couple hastily re-
moved to the tent outside the prison,
and there the babe was born.
In the visitor the poar woman found
a friend. She quickly returned to
Americas and secured for the mother
and babe necessary clothing and medi-
cine and such food and comforts as
her then limited means allowed. Soon
thereafter the Ohioan. his wife and
babe were sent away from the prison.

WHAT HENEY MUST SOLVE.

Who makes civic corruption posi-
ble-the bribe-giver or the bribe-tak-
err? In every case of exposed graft
the one accuses the other. The BRIDE
giving corporation official declares
that bribery is forced on him; that
he must resort to it in order to con-
duct his business: that he cannot
procure his very rights as citizen
without payment to the governing
body He abhors bribery and despises
the bribe-taker, tolerating both only
as he conceives their necessity.
There is at least half a truth in
what he says. Aside from the mere
money loss, very few nCn take posi-
tive delight in bribery. The business
man who uses it justifies himself by
his business necessities. His error
lies in his desire to secure an unfair
advantage over competing companies
and in his tendency to place the sue
cess of his business enterprise above
every other consideration, including
civic welfare and the law.
The bribe-taker, on the contrary
is prone to declare that brides are
not solicited and that corruption
would not exist were it not for the
wilful debauchery of the bribe-giver.
Franchises are always sold at a
given sum, argues the bribe-taker. 1t
is the customary. expected way.
Why, then, should the proffered mon
ey. be, refused? And the crime seems
less in his eyes if the bride is not
actually or openly solicited.
These two necessary factors in
corruption are agitated by the COM
mon need of secrecy Their machina-
lions once exposed, each seeks to
shift the burden to the other. So.
it is no new thing. that Heney has
discovered in San Francisco, when
he declares that the accused bribe-
givers are seeking to hinder the
prosecutor anu prevent the eldS Ol
justice. He is doubtless correct in
saying that the crisis is imminent.
He might easily have foreseen it. 1t
is his greatest problem. One can only
trust that he will work out the sOlu-
ton to the end that exact justice
will be served all. If he is sue
cessful, he will deserve the gratitude
of the nation, as well as that of San
FranciscO.-Tacoma News.

Elaborate Programme Planned - Mrs.
Julia Ward ,Howe's Tribute.
An extensive programme for the cele.
bration Of Old Home week in Boston.
from July q to Aug. 3. and for the en-.
tertainment of visitors was recently
arranged at a public meeting Of citi-
zens in Faneuil hall, says the New
York Tribune. In course Of the seven
days there will be bonfires, naval and
military parades, sports, reunions, his
torical pilgrimages, receptions and re-
ligious and patriotic exercises.
Among those who spoke at the meet
ing were Governor Guild, Archbishop
William 81. O'Connell, Bishop William
Lawrence, Mayor Fitzgerald and Mrs.
Julia Ward Howe. The last named
said:
Perhaps it may strike you as lit
tie humorous that such nation OF
travellers as we Americans are should
be the first-I think we are the first
to institute an old home week. We
often meet our dear friends in this
way at a very great distance from
nome, ana so IL seems rainier HuHlOF-
GUS that we travellers are also great
home lovers. But l think we are such
in fact. l think we are all profound
lovers of home.
There is something very inspiring
in this idea of general recognition OF
the glory and sacredness Of home.
think it is uplifting to every heart. do
not wonder that these reverend gentle
men come here and speak Of it as we
have heard them speak, because it has
played so great part and it Is such a
factor in our idea of reverence and af-
lection. and hope that our meeting In
July and August will be much blessed
to us and to our homecoming friends
and guests"

continuously from Il spout high up in

water from spring was conducted

Mr.. Editor
Dear Sir:
In the edition of the twenty-eighth

of matrimony, which was a great
slam on the sports of Wenatchee
among the young men of being slow
and also pikers, cutters, etc. In re-
gard to the Long-Legged Married
Man, who was speaking OF rolling

what is man going to do when
these fair damsels of Wenatchee will
not look at any man who is not hold
ing high salaried position such as
Office boy or clerk in some store,
drawing some six or eight dollars
week and if they were selling
steamboats, at fifteen cents a dozen
they couldn't buy gang-plank.
But as for me give me single life
instead of bringing my life to an end
by degrees, which will be the case
when young man gets married.
Yours truly,
WELL SATISFIED.

state from the work Of the State
college far more than offsets the cost
of these institutions to the state. The
experiments carried on at the State
College experiment station in dry
farming, in fighting the pests that
menace the orchards, in breeding
and the instructions given to dairy
men have already proved of almost
incalculable value to these the chief
interests of the state.
The State College at Pullman is
one of the strongest institutions of
it's kind in the country. 1t offers
many practical courses of instruction
and the training received there is
most thorough. It's faculty is COM
posed of men who are recognized
authorities on the subjects they
teach. and it is thoroughly equipped
to give the best possible instruction
in the scientific courses, the courses
in which the college is particularly
strong. The college is leader in
the organization of the chief indus
tries of the state, and it is constant
ly seeking and dispensing informa-
ton that means the saving or adding
of thousands of dollars annually to
these interests.
The people of this valley know
something of what the State Col
lege is doing for the great industry
to which this section is particularly
adapted. On various occasions men,
bers of the college faculty have Wis
listed here to carry on the propaganda
of useful education In the instruc-
ton of the fruit raiser how to best
deal with the problems that confront
him.
While the college is doing so much
for the material welfare of the peo-
pie of this state it is by no means
overlooking the great cause of educa-
tion. On the contrary it is doing
more than any other influence to
raise the standard of public instruc-
ton by increasing the efficiency of
the public school teachers. Vhe sum-
mer school which is held at the State
College for the purpose of giving
the teachers the training and instruc-
ton needed, is largely attended and
the work performed by it is of a very
high order. The college takes a
leading part in institute work and in
every way promotes the interests of
education.
The last legislature appropriated
some $4,000 for maintenance and
new buildings for the State College,
and, while that is large sum of
money, the state could make no wis
er or more profitable investment.

The free and general discus
sion Of an impending recession
in business, which has been car
ried on for the past few months,
has certainly done no harm and
has probably done much good.
There are few business men in
the country today who do not
know that loanable funds are in
insufficient supply to permit Of
further expansion; indeed, most
of them are aware shat a con-
traction in business is advisable.
AS the banks and other lenders
also recognize these conditions,
a gradual and healthful curtail-
ment is to be expected.
