ALL IS NOT HARMONY
The Democratic Camp Is Con-
siderably Perturbed.
Clerk Todd Sues Chairman Hill for
ed for Campaign Expenses.

1t does not seem to be all harmony in
the democratic fold. Charles r. Hill,
chairman Of the democratic county cen
trail committee, and Hugh c. Todd,
county clerk, elected on the democratic
ticket, have locked horns and their
came to a climax Monday when the two
appeared in Justice DOOlittle's court in
a suit brought by Todd to recover $18,
in which the clerk claimed the attorney
owes the clerk 3 office for fees in the suit
OF Frank Lewis vs. " G. Dittmore and
Minnie DttmOre, his wife. MIR. Todd in
his complaint in part SAYS:
THAT on the 9Th day OF March, 1907,
in the superior court of Whitman coun-
ty, state of Washington, the case Of
Frank Lewis vs.. V. g. DittmOre and
Minnie Dittmore, his wife, was tried be
fore jury and verdict was rendered
in favor OF said plaintiff on the Sth day
of March, 1907.
THAT the fees to be paid the clerk of
irry and filing said verdict we're as fol-
lows, to wit: Jury fee, $12; verdict, So;
total, $1S.
THAT as of the attorneys for the said
Frank Lewis, the said Charles r. Hill
caused the said jury to be drawn and
said verdict to be filed that at the said
times of drawing and filing the said
Charles r. Hill did not pay said fees as
required by law, but that | trusted him
for the same, and expected him to pay
me in the near future, as has been his
custom in regard to fees owing me as
clerk and that on the first Monday in
April, 1907, | turned the said $1S into
the county treasury out Of my own per
sOnal money and that he, the said
Charles r. Hill, is indebted to NE in the
sum Of $1S," etc.
Mr.. Hill denied owing the bill, stating
that he did not authorize the drawing of
the jury in the case in the higher court.
but that if Mr.. Todd would settle pre-

election account he had against him for
campaign purposes, amou nting to 1925,
he (HilD would acknowledge the obliga-
tion and pay the $1S. This would leave,
OF course, an Indebtedness of $107, which
Mr.. Todd wouldn't listen to for a mo-
ment. In bis testimony Mr.. Todd stated
that he had met his obligations, both in
regard to the money and also by stump
ing the county in the campaigns Of 1904
and last year. James T. Brown, who
was attorney in the Lewis Dittmore case
in the superior court, swore that Hill de-
manded the jury and that the Judgment
was Justly charged against him and that
he ought to pay it.
Justice Doolittle took the case under
advisement until Saturday morning.
Before the trial of the case In the JUS
tees court noisy scene is reported to
have taken place in the clerk g office, in
which the chairman OF the democratic
county committee called the democratic
county clerk some hard names in fact,
invited him out into the back alley.
Mr.. Hill when seen said: II paid $125
expenses for Todd out of my
own pocket during the campaign last
fall and he has not repaid me. He owes
me instead OF me owing him."
The democrats, of course, are consider
ably worked up over the affair. 1t is
said the wise heads will get together and
endeavOr to straighten out the imbro-
Clio. Chairman Hill may be depOsed,
that is the talk in some quarters. while
others say that war will be declared on
the county clerk.

A Pioneer Nurseryman.

We have few pioneer nurserymen
who have spent nearly life time among
us. They have not been laggarts in the
march of progress, but have done their
share in proving the greatness of the Pa
Iouse George Ruedy's name probably
stands in the lead Of these. He first
came here in May, 1878. The first set
tiers came with their herds and fOcks to
raise beef and mutton. The question OF
growing wheat and fruit didn't enter
their minds. In 1880 Mr.. Ruedy en-
barked in the business of fruit culture,
seeing its possibilities, and here he has
lived and worked ever since. His present
home OF 16 acres, all under a high state
of cultivation, OverloOks the valley in
which COlfax is built on the west and
commands view of wide extent. He
moved to this particular spot in 1881,
planted fruit trees, and has planted, ex-
perimented, dug up, replanted, repro
duced, improved, enlarged upon, until
the products of his orchard, many OF
them, are marvellous to think about. A

Pioneer Nurseryman Who Has Kept
in Touch With the Progress of
the Twentieth Century.

The PalOuse country has been so dOmi-
mated by wheat the last quarter of a cen
tury that its greatness in other respects
has been lost sight OF. While dairyiD iDg,
the raising of poultry and hogs and OF
fruit Of all kinds is at all times factor
in our domestic economy, still wheat is
looked upon as king, and we base our
commercial standing on the price and
condition Of the premier cereal. But
this will not always continue so. Many
of the big grain farms, per necessity,
must be broken into smaller sections,
which means more intense cultivation of
the soil and diversified farming,
to the end that a greater population
may be admitted to dwell with US. 1t is,
therefore, a subject of congratulatiOn
that we have a salubrious climate, pro-
ductive soil and great diversity of pro
ducts
We wish to have something to say at
this time along the lines of fruit culture;
for be it known that no part of Eastern
Washington can excel the Palouse in the
production of the finest fruits; this in
addition to being the banner wheat sec
ton Of the Pacific coast. This section is
separate and distinct from the irrigated
belt, which fills mostly the sagebrush
and desert regions that lie east Of the
Cascade mountains, and is worthless un-
less water is brought to give life to the
parched soil. In the PalOuse our rich
aluvial soil receives moisture from the
rains and dews of heaven, generally hold
ing it beneath the surface in sufficient
quantities until after the harvest sea
SON. 1t is the opinion of most people
that fruit raised in such a climate under
such conditions has more OF substance
and flavor than that which depends on
artificial cultivation, albeit the ether
may fill the mind with admiration to
look upon. Be that as it may, the fruit
of the PalOuse is gradually coming to
the fore, and great quantities are raised
and shipped to the mining regions of
Idaho and Montana without fuss or
feathers. Furthermore, an orchard is a
feature at every farm house now, no
matter how many or how large the grain
fields may be. And this process is widen.
