The Unwritten Law.

Is our strenuous pace of living re-
sponsible for the frequency with which
the authority of the ''unwritten law
ls EVOKED In cases Of homicide? If 50
the act Of murder may be laid to i'm
pulse and Is as deplorable as when the
murderer takes the law ip his own
hands after due elaboration. The
code of unwritten law Is likely to be
come bulky II present tendencies are
not checked. If man may kill anoth-
er for one kind of insult he cannot rea
sOnably be denied the privilege of
numbering for any other insult. The
scope of unwritten law is therefore
very large, and the horizon Of its OPP
erations Is far off. Yet there must be
boundary somewhere If the human
race Is to survive the sudden judg-
ments of the man with the gun.
The question arises whether the writ
ten law will have much force II the I'M
written law is to be expanded with
sucn rhplulty. a sane people are gldu
for the safeguards of the written law.
II involves time to let passions cool.
Sometimes In spite of delay and DELHI
Grafton a mistake Is made which socie-
ty would gladly undo. II the written
law. with all its machinery and its
many cool minds. may sometimes pun
ish the innocent, much more Is the In
dividual smarting under wrongs, real
or fancied, in danger of making a mis-
take. Many who act hastily as judge
and Jury as quickly repent when too
late. 1t would be better not to har-
Dor the thought of an unwritten law
1t is single handed lynch law and moth
ting else.

City ConnciI in Special Session

A special meeting of the council
was held last Tuesday evening. The
report of the committee on holding a
public reception and inviting the coun-
cilmen from Cashmere and Wenatchee
to be the guests of iLeavenworth, re-
ported progress, and asked to be con-
tinued. The committee request was
granted and authorized to make such
arrangements as they deem advisable.
The resignation of night Marshall
Oberdorf was accepted and VIM. Harris
appointed in his place.
The following bills were allowed:
Jack Oberdorf, salary, $3.50
]. G. Debord, money advanced,
$3.50.
The account of Miss E. d. Berger,
for nursing referred to finance com
mittee.
The Clerk reported that D. M.
Thomas refused to accept the tender
of $4,000 made him by the council in
payment OF his bill for furnishing gro
ceries to the Howerton family last win
ter while quarantined with dyphtheria.
The clerk was instructed to have the
city hall insured for 81, 500.
A motion was made and prevailed
that a special meeting be held Tues
night Oct. / to arrange for the public
meeting.

In the main the constitution shows that
the Liberal government Of Great Brit
ain has confidence in the Boer masses
and proposes to treat them generously.
No doubt the Boer valor in battle had
Its influence in determining the treat
ment accorded by the conquerors.
Great Britain wants peace in South
Africa.

Our Agricultural Possibilities

Having the greatest faith in the
future OF this section and believing
that what can be done right here in the
way Of growing fruits and vegetables is
not fully understood and appreciated
we never miss an opportunity to call
attention to any we'll authenticated
story of what has and is being done by
the pioneers in this line.
One day the past week while driving
thru the valley OF Beaver creek and
the Chewawa river, we were astonished
at the amount of fine tillible land with
in ten or fifteen miles OF this town. In
these two valleys alone there is room
for from five to six hundred OF those
intensely cultivated ten and fifteen
acre farms, every one of which could
be irrigated at a comparatively small
cost. From what we have seen we
feel confident that within distance Of
say twenty miles of Leavenworth there
is the making OF some two thousand Of
these little farms. The soil is rich and
all but inexhaustible, and in fertility
and productiveness can not be excelled.
There are a number OF fine farms in
these valleys where from five to fifty
acres is in cultivation, tho almost ex-
clusively in hay. This is no doubt
because OF a lack of transportation.
Once this territory is opened up by a
railroad and access made easy and
prompt, with proper shipping facilities
and the land which is now producing
hay and yielding for its owner profit
of $40 per acre will be planted to fruit
and every ten acres will furnish all the
employment one family can want, then
as the land becomes valuable it will be
divided into small tracts and under IN
tensive cultivation yield the owner
from two to eight hundred dollars per
acre.
1t requires no prophetic eye to see
the fulfllment of this, aye, and more
than this.
Five years ago if any one had said
that land in the vicinity of Wenatchee
would yield a net profit of from $500
to $1,000 per acre and sell readily for
from $500 to $4,000 per acre he
would have been called a wild eyed
dreamer, if not something even worse.
