"The lands In the upper part Of
the Wenatchee valley are going to
receive their share of development
during the. coming year." This is
tn statement made today by Nj. F..
Peake of the firm of Peake and Son
of Leavenworth, the real estate deal
ers of that city.
Many Changes.
During the past two years we
have seen many changes in that end
of the valley. We are like Wenat-
chez in that respect. Last year the
Cascades Orchards were irrigated
and sold and the district which only
short time ago had couple of
families, now has a little settlement.
The entire tract is now planted to
trees. In the meantime more at
tention is being paid to the lands
about Peshastin. The lands at Pc
shastin three years ago were selling
at $4,000 per acre. One year later
they had increased in price to 800
per acre. Last year the price had
jumped to 5000 and this year they
are selling at $500 an acre. There is
a reason for all this. 1t is because
the values are there. Wenatchee
valley lands in any portion are go
| 10 ho h irh ni
Because of the fertility, healthful
location, fruit, timber, water power,
in fact all conditions which go to-
ward making life worth living are
there.
The Chumstick Valley
This is one of the finest little val
leys in the state of Washington. 1t
lies between Leavenworth and Lake
Wenatchee. Here are the opportun-
tiles for the fruit grower and stock
raiser. Dairying is to become a more
important industry in the future. On
account of the mountains back of
this valley there is an almost unlim-
tied range.
The Valley of the Peshastin.
Those who have never made the
trip between Leavenworth and the
Blwett mines, cannot appreciate the
beauties of Chelan county. There
are still all along this part of the
va11ov n1acoc which oro Uood p,onoy
makers and conditions otherwise are
good as can be found. 1t is only a
question of short time until all
these lands in this section of the
Wenatchee valley shall be divided
into ten acre tracts, as is being done
in the vicinity of Wenatchee"

Nebraska Mob Took Murderer From

Nebraska Mob Took Murderer From
Sheriff and Hanged Him.
Omaha, Neb., Aug 27.-LOrd Hig-
gins. who murdered w. L. Couple and
wife, near Resale, Neb., May II, was
lynched at Bancroft.
Sheriff Young, of Thurston county
came to Omaha to get his prisoner,
who had been il the Douglas county
Jail here since his capture, and took
him to Bancroft on a train. Twenty
men took Higgins from the sheriff,
hauled him off in a dray and hanged
him TO a tree.
When the sheriff left for Omaha on
Sunday he was accosted by citizens at
Bancroft, who asked him what he
would do if they should attempt to
lynch Higgins.
Shoot the first man who tries it, /"
he said.
well, we just wanted to know.
Chances are you will have some shoot
ing to do"
Higgins crime was a wanton one.
He had worked on the Copple farm and
had had some trivial dispute with Mr..
Copple. Anger over this is the only
suggestion of a reason for the murder.
He killed both in the barnyard with a
gun. He was a young man, and after
his arrest became radically religious,
participating in every service held at
the Jail.

ROPE BROKE AT HANGING
Condemned Mans Weight Was Too
Great a Strain.

Great a Strain.
Indiana, Pa, Aug Is. - The first
hanging in this county for more than
20 years was not a success, as, owing
TO the breaking Of the rope, the opera
ton had to be repeated.
The victim OF the law was Carmine
Reno, aged As years, and weighing
IT'S pounds. The weight OF the man
and the drop Of five feet proved too
much for the strength Of the rope,
which snapped when the trap was
sprung. precipitating Reno to the
ground. The Jail attendants hurriedly
loosened the rope around his neck
while others adjusted a new rope to
the scaffold, and the man, already half
dead, was carried TO the platform and
the lever again spruns. This time
the execution was successful.
The crime which Reno expiated
was the murder Of his sweetheart
Marion BearDo, aged Is years, at her
home in Ernest, two years ago. 1t had
been agreed that Reno should marry
the girl, providing he paid the pas
sage of herself and parents to this

girl refused to wed him he shot her,

Insane Man Made Human Sacrifice For

Sins of World.
Detroit, Mich, Aug. %. - Albert
Stemmelen. a bOoklOeeper, became in
sane. and, taking his 2-year-old daugh-
ter, Helen, to the Belle Isle bridge,
threw her into the Detroit river, and
watched the little one struggle and
drown. Stemmelen's insanity is OF
the religious order, and he believed he
was making an acceptable human sac
rifice to God for the sins of the world.
Leaving the bridge, he went to police
headquarters and calmly announced
what he had done. He had no sooner
been locked in a cell than the prison
er's wife telephoned the police that
the little girl was missing. It then
developed that Stemmelen had been
talking queerly for about month.
and that at dinner he began to show
symptoms THAI alarmed his family.
There is one more child surviving.

BRYAN CALLS TAFT
A "STRADDLER"
Critioizss War Secretary on Impor-
tant Political Issues.
SEES LITTLE hope FOR REFORM

SEES LITTLE HUfE FOh hEr OAl ia
Lincoln, Neb., Aug. 27.-William j..
Bryan's reply to the speech Of Secre-
tary Taft. at Columbus, O., has been
given out. Secretary Taft is con-
demned as a "straddler" on nearly all
the important issues, and criticized for
not taking advanced grounds in re-
forms. Mr., Bryan complains also that
his own position has been misrepre-
scented BY the secretary y
Mr.. Bryan says: Secretary Tafts
speech will prove a disappointment to
those who expected to a clear bugle
note in favor Of reform. There is not
a single question on which he takes
strong advanced position.
ION the railroad question, he is in
favor Of preventing watered stock OPP
noses the consolidation Of competing
lines and the duplication of directo-
rates. So far so good; but he does not
advocate the ascertaining OF the value
of the roads on the reduction of rates.
The railroads may object to his rheto-
rical denunciation Of abuses, but they
will hardly be scared by his remedies.
ION the trust question, he thunders
at unlawful trusts. but not only does
not recommend new legislation, but
takes the position that a monopoly
may not be harmful. He thinks that
putting one or two trust magnates IN
the penitentiary would have a healthy
effect. but he uses so many qualifying
words that one is left in doubt as TO
what he really favors.
after submitting an argument in
support of an inheritance tax and
graduated income tax, he concludes
BY saying that he is not in favor OF
adopting either of them now. At some
future time he may adopt them If they
are needed.
HE comes out strong in favor OF
government by injunction, but does
not take any position on arbitration
and electing senators by the people.
"He takes a rap at socialism de-
nounces the initiative and referendum
and presents an argument against
government ownership Of railroads.
he Is stronger III bbabAAb "N~N - -
poses than in stating what he favors'
and he-unintentionally Of course
misstates Mr.. Bryan's position on sew
eral questions.
''He makes out strong case in
favor Of tariff reform, but when he
gets to the remedy he goes no farther
than the Republican leaders have
gone in former campaigns. He wants
enough tariff to cover the difference
in cost of labor here and abroad-the
excuse given for the present tariff
and he wants the tariff reformed by
its friends. Tariff reform by the
friends of the tariff is a farce and
fraud, and the secretary runs away
from the conclusions which would nat
urally be drawn from the statistics
which he presents.
1.-THE conservatives may object to his
speech because it admits many Demo
cratic contentious, but no real re-
former will find encouragement IN It.
Il is a straddle of the most important
issues-a compromise instead OF fight
for reform"
