Woman Sank Into Earth,

BUTTE Mont, Sept. ia
thrilling time befell Mrs. Mark
Loeffler in the Vipond mining dis
trict, near this city, few days ago.
Mr.. Loeffler is prospecting in the old
district, and Mrs. Loeffler went out
there for an outing, and was campej
in one of the deserted cabins, states
one report. The old shaft house Of
the Grey Jockey mine has been con-
verted into stable. Mrs. Loeffler was
assisting her husband in stabling the
horse and walked behind the buggy,
when the ground gave way beneath
her feet and she disappeared, literally
screamed as she fell and her husband
looked up just in time to see her head
disappearing through a hole in the
ground about two feet square.
A. G. Mcintyre and son. Aleck, and
another man were close at hand. and
had some rope. which they brought to
the scene. They made a large moose
that she could slip around her body
and by holding on above, sit in an
improvised swing. When this was
done, all hands seized the rope and
she swung out across the shaft, 300
feet in depth, and was safely noisted
back to the surface Mrs Loeffler was
brave and directed her movements I'M
til on top of the earth again. and then
as she was walking from the platform
again touched her moot to the ground
and again it gave way to her weight
Mr.. Mcintyre caught her as she fell,
but the second shock was such that
she tainted and was hysterical for
several hours.

RICH MEN NOT

FRIENDS OF ROOSEVELT BELIEVE
CONSPIRACY is FORMED, TO
DEFEAT POLICY.

WASHINGTON, d. c., Sept r.
Is the rich mems conspiracy" which
President Roosevelt declared last
spring was forming to prevent the
nomination of a man of his type for
the presidency next year, getting
busy?
This query has been aroused by the
exploitation within the last few days
Of stories purporting to give inside
facts relative to big fund collected
under the direction of E. H. Harri-
man just prior to the election in 1904
and turned over to National Chairman
Cortelyou and State Chairman Odell
for use in New York.
Poisoning Minds Of People.
1t is believed here that Oyster Bay,
which thus far has treated in silence
the revived stories of corporation par

in them unmistakable indications that
the financial interests most bitterly
arrayed against the present admins
tration are endeavoring to poison the
public mind SO as to arouse sentiment
in favor of a successor to President
Roosevelt, who will be more in har-
one recognized as having the Roose-

welt backing. 1t is significant that the
alleged exposure of the $26O,0OO Har-
riman fund came from newspaper
sources that have been partially ener-
getic recently in assailing the presi-
formation on which the alleged ex-
posures are based was supplied by
some big financiers whose motive can
scarcely be questioned.
Create Show Of Alliance.
AS matter of fact. it never has
been denied that many captains of
industry contributed to the cam
paign of 1904. Contributions, how
ever We're made to both sides. Sew
eral months ago it was explained in
manner which seemed to satisfy
the friends of the administration that
Mr.. Hartman s special activity in
that campaign was due to plans he
had made to shunt Chauncey M. De-
pew off to Paris as American ambas-
sador and with Mr.. Odelrs help capt
ure Mr.. Depew's seat in the senate.
Now, however, the old stories have
been put out with added detail, the
only purpose being. according to the
administration observation, to make it
appear that an alliance exists between
the president and the very men who
are most anxious to have Rooseveltism
crushed.
Administration leaders are not in
the least perturbed over the revival of
the old stories, being confident that
they will eventually prove boomerangs
and result in Strengthening the candi-
dacy Of a thoroughly recognized pro-
gressive leader for the presidential

The puffed-up private Jap may have
no doubt that Japan could whip Amer

statesmen entertain no such illusion.
War is largely a matter of money, ana
it will simply be impossible for Japan
for some years to come to obtain mon

upon the United States without lay
ing herself open to hostile Musco-
vite movement. She would have to
fight this country land Russia at once.
This is so manifest that it is strange
that the war-scare artists entirely
overlook it. Still further. Japan will
have her hands full for years to come,
besides rustling to pay the interest on
her debt. in keeping Korea in subjec-
ton ard developing that country and
Manchuria. Eventually Japan may
be able to develop into monster mill

nese, but this is very unlikely, and
cannot happen, if ever, under a gener-
alton or so.
Commercially, no doubt Japan
seeks to be the leading nation of the
Pacific ocean. But We do not see that
commercial enterprise and achieve

can become master of the Pacific

TWIN GROVE TRACTS
FINE HOME SPOTS
Suburban Property Being Placed On
Market, Offers Many Advantages
10 Fruit and Garden Grower.

Smalh tracts and Intensified farming
are destined to play an important part
in developing the rich Walla Walla
valley and foremost among the home
spots is Twin Grove addition located
about one mile west of College Place
on the line of the Walla Walla Valley
Traction company.
Few places in the Walla Walla VAL
ley, so close to Walla Walla, offer so
many advantages to either the home
seeker, desiring suburban life, or the
fruit or garden grower, as does Twin
Grove addition. The addition, COM
prising 120 acres Of the richest land
in the valley has been subdivijed and
placed on the market in five-acre
tracts. Much of this land is now in
alfalfa and fruit, the alfalfa land
yielding from five to seven tors of
hay to the acre. Every foot of this
land is capable of producing the finest
fruit and vegetables and as an in
vestment will prove more profitable
than any other industry open to the
man. of modest means desiring to
make a start in life.
Twin Grove tracts are located on
the interurban line, the track cutting
directly through the property and
placing each f1ve-acre tract in direct
touch with the road. The company
now promoting Twin Grove acreage
has set aside a tract, an eighth of an
acre in area, for a, tation which has
been named Twin Grove The COM
parry has dedicated roadways through
out the tract, giving easy access to
the station Or the county roads, run
ming past the tracts on the siuth. The
company has priced most of the land
at $4,000 per tract of five acres. Sew
eral of the tracts are covered with
fruit trees and each tract is irrigated
directly by Garrison creek which cuts
the north part of the property, or by
irrigat ting bitches. Land, not located
on The car line or possessing anywhere
near the qualities of Twin Grove tracts
is being sold at $500 and 500 an
acre and even as high as $1,000 an
acre.

Personalities in a newspaper, or
anywhere else for that matter, are al
ways anything but interesting 10 the
public. None of the individual pub
fishers or editors of any of the news
papers in Walla Walla is of any such
particular Importance in the commu-
nifty that discussion of the personal
dement's or merits of any of them
would be of any great benefit to the
people of the Garden City. 1t might
be interesting to the few Individual

but even they would soon get tired

will continue its policy of avoiding any
such controversy and trusts it will not
be called upon to resort to such
methods.
