pleasing appearance, not more than
20 years of age, tainted. When re-
stored the woman admitted that she
had burned the children, but said
that at the time she was possessed BY
an unaccountable mania.
The two girls, she said, had beer
playing with their dolls until the
noise and confusion robbed her of
her reason and left resistless i'm
pulse to punish the little ones. Seiz-
ing the stove lid litter, she pressed
the glowing end upon the back of
the right hand of each child, caus-
ing scars that the little ones will
carry to .heir graves.
A peculiar feature of the case was
the apparent affection of the mother
for the children, that attachment be-
ing reciprocated. This was demon
strated repeatedly in court. When
Mrs. Cravius lost consciousness the
children walled in unison.
The prisoner was paroled in Gus

ON NA7CXEz AVE,
COMPANY OF SEATTLE CAPITALISTS
p. l.. Austin, Who Is Heading the
Syndicate, Said to Be Making
Extensive Investments.

Some moths ago a number of Sc
attic capitalists, with P. l.. Austin
at the head, visited North Yakima
looking for investments. At the
time there was considerable conjee-
ture as to the nature of their visit
here, and 1T was stated that they
made a number of offers for desir-
able pieces of property scattered
about the city while in town. It was
also rumored that the gentlemen con.
templated purchasing site for ho-
tel purposes, but were unable to
agree upon the price asked for the
property they wished.
The Herald now has it upon reli-
able authority that negotiations have
been consummated for lots upon
Natchez avenue upon which Mr..
Austin will erect very fine modern
hotel. The exact location or the
price paid for the lots could not be
ascertainei, but it is stated that the
property is located upon this street,
and rumor has it that 1t fronts upon
Yakima avenue. Mr.. Austin rep
resents large amount q capital
and 1t is said he will make other in
vestneuts in North Yakima, which
he considers one of the most promis-
ing young cities In the northwest.

work of rescue has been greatly
hampered by poisonous gases re-

a fierce fire that broke out immedi-

work to be suspended and the work

When all had reached daylight, ac-
cording to one version. a second

Another report says that many of

After two weeks prospecting for
gold on the desert two brothers, Bill
and Lynn Desplain, nearly perishing
from thirst, came upon a water hole,
known as Bears Wells" twenty
five miles from Salome, Ariz.
An old man named Jones had
taken possession Of the water hole
and forbade the prospectors filling
their empty kegs. Refusing to obey
him, they continued to replenish
their supply from the hole, when
Jones seized his rife and opened fire
on them and the fight began When
1t was over Jones was dead and Bill
Desplain was badly wounded.

Riches of Washington Farmers.

The farmers OF the state of Wash
ington are not poor. According to
statistics gathered by the United
States government, the men who
raise standard crops from Washing
ton soil are rewarded by a return
of an average of $29.77 per acre.
This means that the man who farms
his 100 acres. by producing oats,
barley, hay. potatoes and wheat, on
equal acreage, should show re-
turn of $4763.2O every year.
Washington is not a corn or rye
state. The first named product
yields a return of $13.86 to the far
mer. while rye brings in $12.72.
Such small acreage of land is put
to these products. however. that
they hardly figure in the total.
Potato farming appears to be the
most profitable, for Washington land
produces 129 bushels to the acre and
the price paid last year was sc
cents. making an average of $72.24

The Inventor Was Up Against 1t.
A story of rather grim outlines,
but having in it the ring of hard.
substantial truth, is Mr.. Osborne's
"The Freeze-Out," in the February
McClure's. The ingenious game by
which a big business house robs an
inventor of his invention is told
here with simplicity of statement
which matches the force of the writ
er's conception. This is tragedy OF
the business world, the story of the
under-dog in the modern competitive

tive stands out above many other
stories of the year as one which has
received it's inspiration directly and
powerfully from life.
