Perky to Defend Meyer.

Judge K. l. Perky received word
from Denver yesterday, letter from
Charles H. Meyer, that he had been
retained as attorney for the Western
Federation of Miners in all the cases
now pending trial in which the feder-
atior is interested except the trial of
Jack Simpkins, should Simpkins be
apprehended, says the Boise States
man. Judge Perky stated yester lay
that he had no intimatiOn that any of
the other attorneys would drop out. 1t
was his understanding that both OAR
row and Richardson were to be in the
case if the federation could persuade
them to work together again. 1t was
limited that the attorneys might be
divided among the different cases.
From another source it was learned
that Clarence barrow will have charge
of the defense of Pettibone which is
set for trial in October and that
Richardson and Nugent will probably
handle the defense of Steve Adams
in Wallace, the defense of Dr. MCGEE,
charged with perjury and the other
cases in which the federation is put
ting up funds for defense.

FARM HAND
LOSES s625
CERTIFICATE OF DEPOSIT LIFTED
FROM WILLARD WAlLAcE'S
POCKETS YESTERDAY.

Willard Wallace, who is employed
on the Jean Birch ranch. about nine
m les north of the city, today re-
ported the loss of 1926 in certificates
of deposits on Portland banks yester-
day, either while on his way to the
city or while ne was at the circus.
That he was the victim of pick
pocket is probable as he did not miss
his papers until he had been on the
circus grounds for two hours.
The missing papers consist of
certificate of deposit for $500 in the
Commercial Bank of Vancouver. Ore.
a bank check for 500 on the Califor-
mia Bank of Portland. and a certifi-
cate for 800 made out by the Connie
cial bank of either Portland or Van
couver, though which he is not certain.
He offers a reward for the return
of the papers.

WALLA WALLA'S
BIG WHEAT CROP
THIS COUNTY, SECOND IN YIELD,
WILL PRODUCE 100000
BUSHELS.

S. S. King, chief deputy state grain
inspector, who returned 70 Tacoma
Wednesday, from trip of investiga-
ton through the grain belt of eastern
Washington, announces that the wheat
crop of this state this year will be
nearly 41OOO,OOO bushels, or. to be
explicit, 4O,S45, 900 bushels.
This is the estimate placed on the
crop by Mr. King, who has prepared
a table giving the number of acres in
wheat and the number of bushels
each of the wheat growing counties
of the state will yield. Mr.. Kings fig
ures show 100000 acres growing
wheat in the state. This is an in
crease of 100000 or more acres over his
estimate made for a Seattle paper
three weeks ago, and before he had
visited the east side.
Mr.. King has prepared, also, figures
on the oat and barley crops of the
state. He gives Washington 12S,000
acres of oats which yield 5,425,OOO
bushels.
The barley crop, according to Mr..
King, will be 5,44O,OOO bushels growing
on 141,OOO acres sowed to barley.
The fact of first Importance in insur-
ing the prosperity of eastern Washing
ton for the coming year. Mr.. King
says, is its enormous wheat crop. In
connection with the crop the salient
point is the quality of the wheat it
self.
-Four fifths of the wheat grown in
Walla Walla, Columbia, and Adams
counties this season." said Mr.. King
today, will weigh 60 pounds to the
bushel, and so per cent. of the wheat
grown in the state will be choice mill

this year producing in round numbers
100000 bushels more wheat than it
did last year, when the crop was
2S.0O0,000 bushels. This 10000 900
bushels of grain is fair crop for a
state in itself. and means a great pre-
MUM of capital flowing into the coun-

After next October, Spokane is rid

to secure a law abolishing pool selling

Chronicle.
Race track gambling in Washington

of the efficacy of the system that he
not only contributed much of the first

but brought back thousands of finger
prints to England win him. Francis
Cation was the other English pioneer

A wellknowns Virginia clergyman,
onetime president of William ana
Mary college, was married three times
and on each occasion the ceremony
was performed by his brother, an even
more renowned bishop. When the first
marriage took place, the bishop had
to refuse tempting invitation from
an old friend because-so the letter
ran-"I am going up to williamsburg
on that date to marry my brother
George"
The same friend happened to be
on the train with him, years after
ward, when he was travelling to the
second ceremony. Il am going to mar
ry my brother George, the bishop
explained, beniSnly. after the business
of greeting was over. Again many
years passed. and the same Journey
was taken once more for the same
purpose. By strange coincidence.
the identical friend ran into the bish-
op as they hurried through the depot
to their respective trains. Where go

they grasped hands and dashed by
