BUMPER FRUIT CROP
Cold Weather in Puget Sound Coun-
try Will Help Fruit Crop by
Removing Danger of Frost

BELLINGHAM, Feb. "A bum
per fruit crop is expected this year
on account of the prolonged cold
weather. The longer the present
weather lasts, says a fruit grower,
the larger the crop is likely to be,
because it removes the possibility OF
frosts after poisoning.
II the outcome is anything like
what is expected. the crop should be
at least Is per cent greater than in
1906. The organization of the fruit
growers insures the ability to mar
ket the increased yield, and in such
condition as to advance Whatcom
county fruit in cities where it has
long since been scarcely salable be-
cause of poor packing and grading.

SKATING CLUB MEETS
Second Meeting of the New Organi-
zation is Held at Mooney Hail.
Rapid Strides in Art.

The second meeting of the newly
organized roller skating club was
held at the Wenatchee rink last even
ing. Those who had skated for the
first time on Monday night last made
rapid strides in learning the art last
evening and most enjoyable time
was had by all. After the skating was
concluded lunch was enjoyed, the
members having brought well filled
baskets. The next meeting will be
held on next Monday evening. The
pastime of roller skating is rapidly
coming into favor and the club meet
ings are most enjoyable as well as
laughable occasions. On the whole
the novices did very well last even
ing and there is an assurance that
some excellent skaters will lbe devel-
oped. Those present last evening

HANGS AROUND AFTER HER
Count BOni Trying Every Means to
Get His Divorced Wife to Set
tie an Annuity Upon Him

PARIS, Feb. 4.-''If you don't
consent to see me, I'll commit sui
cide," was the threat of Count Boni
de Castellane made in a letter re-
Gently to his former wife, now Mad
anne Gould" She is receiving weekly
and even daily entreaties from the
spendthrift count, beseeching her to
see him. He desires an interview in
the hope that he can wheedle her
into settling an annuity upon him, but
thus far she has turned a deaf ear
to all pleadings and the constant
oyertures of the entire Castellane
family. Even the Countess Jean de
Castellane, who all along has been
one of Boni's strongest champions,
has buried her luminosity toward
Madame Gould and implored her to
make desirable money arrangements.
1t is believed by Madam Gould's
friends that she will ignore Bonis
demands for alimony until. in des-
peration, he consents to give up ali
claims on the children, although he
1 is legally entitled to see them at GER
tain intervals and direct their educa-
ton.
High society women whom Mad
anne Gould antagonized in exposing
their relations with Boni. have band
ID together against her, and the opin-
ion here is that she can never regain
her position in society because of
their revengeful insolence.

Legislature Helps Seattle Fair.

OLYMPIA, Feb. 4-The senate
today unanimously concurred in
the house amendments to the senate
bills providing for the sale of the
shore lands of Lakes Washington and
and Union and the creation from the
proceeds thereof of the Alaska-Yu-
kon-Pacific exposition fund of ST.
100000. The prospects for the bill
looked bad yesterday, owing to the
raising of few technicle points AS
to their validaty, but, the promoters
expressed willingness to take the
chances and urged their passage
without delay. All that is now need
ed to put them into effect is the
governors signature, when the work
of getting ready for the exposition
will begin in earnest. With this
question out of the way. the legisla-
ture will have more time to give to
other important legislation, which
has been delayed.

CATTLE INVADE TOWN.
Six Thousand of the Starving Ami
mails on a Search for Food
Dying by Hundreds.

MCLEOD, Alberta, Feb. 4.-This
town was invaded last night by fully
5000 head of famished range cat
tie and a host of mounted men are
now endeavoring to drive the animals
outside the town limits. Range cat
tie are in exceedingly bad shape and
the losses this winter will run high.
As the result of walking through the
crusted snow the legs of many of the
animals are raw and bleeding. Many
of them can hardly stand and every
night many die from exposure and
weakness. Now that the cattle are
beginning to come in off the range,
many of the small farmers, whose
limited supply of feed was inadequate
for their requirements, will need to
stand guard over their hay and straw
If they wish to save it from the at
tacks OF the hungry hordes.
The chinook wind which visited
this section last week was warm but
of short duration. While it lasted
the prairie in many places was COW
cred with water and sloppy snow.
Ten minutes after the chinook drop
ped, the prairie was one sheet Of ice,
and before morning drifts could be
crossed on horseback.
1t is impossible for cattle to reach
food and they are punched together
and a ceaseless walk has been going
on night and day ever since. This
is reducing the cattle in flesh wonder
fully fast. The present winter is the
coolest experienced in twenty years.
All outside work has been stopped
by the cold weather which has pre-
vailed almost without break since
November.

NO DISARMAMENT
Will Not Be Considered at The Hague
Peace Conference Next June
or July.

WASHINGTON, Feb. Alt may
be stated by authority that neither
the question of international disarm-
ament tincluding the kindred sub
ject of restriction OF armament) nor
the Drago doctrine, will be placed
upon the program of subjects to be
considered at The Hague conference,
when it convenes next June or July.
The program of subjects for the con-
ference is regarded as closed at this
moment, nor will it be formally adj
ded to before the meeting takes
place.
But every effort will be made to
have the conference consider the two
subjects named, though this can on
ly be accomplished by the act of
the delegates themselves, properly
will require an affirmative vote of
the conference to take up for dis
cussion any new subject beyond
those contained in the program, and
it is the hope of the Washington
government that these all important
subjects, disarmament and the
Drago doctrine, will receive the fav-
orable consideration of a majority
of the delegates, enabling them to
be discussed.

CENTRAL LABOR UNION.
Due to Meet Tuesday, and Should be
Well Attended This Time.

Tine Central Labor Union is due to
meet in regular session next Tuesday
evening, and now is the time, if ever
when those who have been elected
delegates should get busy and be
there. The central body can ana
should play prominent part in the
work of boosting the Labor Temple.
1t should also ginger up and take an
interest in the work of organization.
But it can do absolutely nothing SO
long as the local bodies neglect to
discipline the delegates who are
elected but never attend to their
duties. If the locals disciplined the
recalcitrant delegates as they should,
the central body would soon be vital
force in the unionizing of Lincoln.
The central body will meet at

Ssht-Hour Day Went Into Permanent
Effect Last Tuesday.

On Tuesday, October l, the Inter

result was strike in many localities,
but as rule the bookbinders went
quietly on with their work, merely
looping off an hour a day without any
decrease in wages. Practically all of
the bookbinders in Lincoln are work
ing the short day. and have been for
some time.
Four shops in Chicago refused to
sign and the men walked out. In
Minneapolis 200 bookbinders struck
and the fight promises to be hard
one. The printers have had a hard
fight in Minneapolis and st. Paul for
two years. In Boston 500 bookbinders
were granted the eight-hour day and
about 200 are out on strike. In Gin
cinnati majority of the bookbinders

so are out to enforce the demand
The general situation throughout the
country is good.
AS usual Philadelphia shows up in

money, but you have to harvest
another crop of that internal al

Heavens no! You've got to

Markham makes a wall about
the man with the hoe. He ought
to shed tears over the man with
an alfalfa farm. If you want a
picture of solid enjoyment see
the man with the hoe resting on
it and watching the weeds grow.
But the man with an alfalfa
farm! Is man to be a mere
machine to transform alfalfa into
a bank account? Is his soul to
have no higher aspiration? Don't
be burdened with an alfalfa
farm. If you are tired and need
a rest; if you have all the money
you want; if you wish to repose
in deep and inviting shades be-
side still waters, list your alfalfa
farm with us and we will sell it
to some man who doesn't know
any better than enjoy seeing the
sides of his barns bulging out,
his horses, cattle, sheep, goats
and hogs fat; his wife and child
rem happy and contented and
himself prosperous.
Out on the Bailey ranch, from
last seasons sowing, and with
only sub-irrigation, a crop was
cut in July that made one and a
half tons to the acre, and on
Monday last they started in cut
ting the second crop that is near
ly, if not quite equal to the first
crop. Of course, Mr.. Bailey is
greatly pleased with the outlook
and wonders why it is that if the
farmers in Baca county want a
steady job, that they do not put
in, what desirable land they may
have, to this crop? He thinks
that if they would do so, SPRING
field would want one more bank
