He Got the Wrong One.

A certain inspector, in one of his Wis.
Its to district school, was much an
noyed by the noise of the pupils in the
adjoining room. At last, unable to bear
it any longer, he opened the door and
burst in on the class. Seeing one boy,
rather taller than the rest, talking a
great deal, he caught him by the COL
lar, carried him to the next room and
threw him into chair, saying:
"Now sit there and be quiet!"
Presently a little head appeared at
the door, and meek voice cried
"Please, sir, you've got our teacher!"

Webster you will find that it means !:
1. One who denies the divinity Of
Christ, and believes him to have been
merely human. 2. One who limits the
sphere of duties to human relations and
affections, to the exclusion of the relig-
ious or spiritual. 8. One who is act
lively concerned in promoting the well
fare of his kind; a philanthropist. The
third sense is the one in which the
word is now most frequently used, and
Webster marks this definition as "re-
cent"

Of his peach story which in itself is
peach. Mr.. Hall makes affidavit
that during the year 1906 he
plucked $40 boxes of peaches which
netted him 62h cents per box, or
at the rate of $3.50 per acre net. One
of the remarkable features of this
yield Is that the trees which pro-
duced the peaches were but three
years old, not having reached their
age of heaviest bearing. Following
is the affidavit:

that he is a citizen of the United
States over the age of twenty-one
years; that he has been resident
of the Wenatchee Valley for ten
years; that during the season of 1906
he picked from one-fifth of an acre
containing % peach trees, 240 boxes
of peaches; that for these peaches
he received 81 per box; and after
allowing for picking, packing, boxing
shipping, ETC., they netted him 62 IL
cents per box, or at the rate of $1,000
per acre or $3.50 net.
These peaches were grown on
three year old trees.

I. w. Reeves makes affidavit of
having raised during the year 1905,
from one-fourth acre of five-year-old

From six Lewis peach trees, ninety

From one Globe tree. twenty-five
boxes.
From ten Globe peach trees 1one
hundred and twenty-five boxes.
From fifteen alberta trees, two
hundred and twenty-five boxes.
From ten Crawford trees, one hum
dred boxes.
The price of peaces for the season
ranged from SO to Is cents per box

Davis trees, at 20 feet apart each
way, making 1OS trees to the acre,
aged s years, he sold 1872 boxes of

penses were paid, $1.10 per box,
or total of $794.20, from the 1875
trees. They were all picked from
the ground without the aid of a lad
der. This was over $7.35 net per
tree.
During the season of 1904, from
two 12-year-old trees of the Delaware
Red variety, he picked 43 boxes
from one and 40 boxes from the

FIRST TEST OF PRIMARY LAW.

With the voting today, Washing
toms first test of its new primary
law will be made. Here in Spokane.
where the people have had prior op-
portunity to observe the practical
workings of the new plan, it has
sprung into instantaneous popularity
The people feel that under the new
system they become potential in the
selection of candidates and the max
ing OF their party platforms.
The contest between Mr.. Doust
and Mr.. Moore for the mayoraty
nomination has been spirited and ex-
citing, and at the same time has been
remarkably free from bitterness.
There is every reason to believe that
substantially all the republicans who
vote in today's primaries will go to
the polls and vote for their party's
nominee. 1t is generally recognized
that both Mr.. Moore and Mr.. Doust
are worthy citizens who have at
heart and the best interests of Spo-
kane, and that either as mayor would
work out substantial reforms and
economies
One powerful influence of the new
primary law will be to bring back in
to the party lines a great many re-
publicans who have believed in the
past in Independent action in city
campaigns. These believe now that
by remaining closely in their party
ranks, they can be influential in de-
termining the nominees and policies
OF their party. Under extraordinary
conditions many of these would prob
ably vote an Independent ticket, but
those conditions do not now exist
and there will be a general desire
among republicans to give their party
a full and fair opportunity to show
"nat 1t can do toward giving Spokane
clear, creditable, businesslike adj
ministration.
when it is considered that ON a
normal voting test, Spokane city is
republican nearly two to one, it is
evident that these new conditions
should assure the election of either
Mr.. Doust or Mr. Moore.
The vote for congressman is everv-
where regarded as a clear test of
party strength. Spokane city at the
last general election in 1906 gave
Jones, republican, for congress 41s5
and Blackman, democrat. for con-
gress Kiss. 1t is thus seen that the
republican nominee for congress re-
ceived nearly twice as many votes as
the democratic nominee. 1t would
not be surprising If the republican
vote in today's primaries should be
more than twice as great as the DEM
oeratic Observation-Disclosures.
