RECORDS CHARGE THAT WASHINGTON TOLD LIE

that one volume had recently been re- covered through the executor of the estate of one of the Pennsylvania sol diers. This volume was carefully ex- amined, and it was found that on May 21, 1760, the grand jury returned presentment against George Washing. ton for having lodged taxes on "a wheeled vehicle"
 Washington was in good company, the presentment also naming George William Fairfax, William Mason and number of other distinguished gentle men of the day.
 Washington, not being indicted, shows that the grand jury acted upon it's own initiative, because had the matter been called to their attention by the prosecutor for the colony an in. dictment would have been returned. There is only one volume of the rec ords of that time, and it does not show what became of the presentment

BRIDGE FOR MOTOR CARS.
Two Tracks Across a Stream, Each
 Wide Enough for Wheel.

With the completion of the unique automobile bridge over the Piru ford, the road to Ventura and Santa Bar bara by way of the Newhill grade may be said to be open for regular auto mobile traffic, says the Los Angeles Times.
 The bridge which has just been completed over the Piru ford is one of the few bridges in the world ex- pressly built for automobile traffic. There is another like it at Terrence, N. M, and these two are supposed to be the only ones in America. It con- sists really of two tracks across the stream, each wide enough to carry an automobile wheel with plenty of margin for bad steering. For safety the ends of the track are built up so that a wheel cannot slip off The tracks are wide enough for passage by people, but no wagons can go over. Perhaps the best feature of bridge of this kind is that cattle cannot use it.
 This new structure supplements the fine bridge built over the Sespe near Brownstone, which cost $29,00O, and was finished last December.

DIVING AND SWIMMING
 TEST FOR REAR-ADMIRALS

WASHINGTON.-Great consterna- w tion is felt in the navy over the an- nouncement said to have been made by Assistant Secretary Newberry that rear admirals must shortly undergo test to show whether they can swim or not. In the army test of whether colonels can ride horseback was re- gently made. MT Newberry's declar- ation in favor of a swimming test for admirals, however is considered far worse, although the average colonel weighs several times more than his horse.
 The assistant secretary's plan is to have rear admirals dive from shore shore and swim to their ships Many admtrals who have not moved a wheel for years except from the navy depart ment to the club are indignant. It is felt that what the assistant secretary is really proposing is a general hari-

IT HE injunction has been invoked in ! local race war The white citi- zens of a suburb of this city propose to restrain a negro from occupying a house he purchased.
 The suburb known as Bloomingdale lying between the northern boundary of the old city and soldiers home, was several years ago subdivided, and long rows of houses erected for sale. The purchasers were given a deed which stipulated in one of it's clauses that at no time should the property be sold to a negro. One of the original purchasers sold his residence to a man who placed a second trust mort gage on it.
 The holder of this second mortgage to protect himself, placed the house on sale with a real estate firm, which disposed of it to negro. When the sale became known to the household

MAS George Washington a liar?
 W Must another idol be shattered? These questions seem to be answered in the affirmative by official records now musty with age but in a fairly good state of preservation For years there has been legend in Virginia that George Washington was seven times indicted for perjury. No one gave serious consideration to the ru- mors, unworthy of association with the beautiful childhood dream of the little hatchet and the cherry tree. A young man of inquisitive temperament, hear ing the legend, made inquiry at the congressional library to ascertain whether any records gave it support. He was cited by the expert in charge to the court records of Fairfax coun- ty. There he discovered that Me Dowell's men, after the battle of Bull Run, ransacked the courthouse and carried away most of the records. but

 There are few residence blocks in Washington upon which negroes do not occupy one or more houses, except in the ultra aristocratic section, and even in that section some negroes dwell Race prejudice is constantly growing more intense here and in the new subdivisions in the suburbs the whites have attempted to protect themselves against negro invasion by restrictions placed in the original deeds similar to that carried by the Bloomingdale conyeyances.

 "PERSONAL-If the young lady in black hat and silk shirt waist who read proof for the city editor in the office of the -, two weeks ago last Monday aft ernoon. will call at this office immediately she will hear something to her advan- tage."
 Next morning, the city editor looked over his shoulder and saw her sitting behind him as on a former occasion. Although taken by surprise, and some what embarrassed, he lost no time in laying before hera the proposition he was empowered to make. She accept ed at once, and the contract was soon closed; but not until he had re- venged himself upon her for some of the follies she had, unconsciously, led him to commit, by the following ma licious catechisation: Does tobacco smoke make you sick?" Do you scream if you chance to see mouse? ?" Do you think it necessary to convert
  cial admirers?" Do you make en- agreements with your dressmaker to take effect during office hours?"
 She knew he was exceeding the lim- it of his inquisitorial duties designed to determine her fitness for the place. but she bore herself humbly. con- vinced of the certainty of future re- prisals.

A STUDY IN DEVELOPMENT.

'.The fruit lands of the Wenatchee
valley show greater profit per acre
than those of any other section in
the United States. This statement
stands unchallenged
In another column of this news
paper is contained the plans of the
Wenatchee-O Orchard Bonds Company.
The idea is a novel one. In their
sale of bonds, this company guaran-
tees to the investor per cent on his
investment.
The fact that company made up
of men of the standing of which it is
composed should stand back of the
investor and guarantee him interest
on his money, with an opportunity
to share in such profits as Wenatchee
valley land is known to produce, is
certainly evidence of the faith that
these men have in this valley.
The property being offered to the
public lies in the very heart of the
fruit belt and is surrounded by or
chards which have been showing
enormous profits every year.
1t is striking fact that the cost
of operating bearing orchard is
very small compared with the gross
receipts. The cost of cultivating, ir-
rigating and caring for the trees be-
ing about $25 per acre and the only
additional expense being the picking,
packing and marketing the fruit
which does not exceed twenty-five
cents per box.
Those who live in the Wenatchee
valley can well see how this plan
may be used to the profit of all con-
cerned.
But, unquestionably, the idea is a
novel one in the study of the devel-
Opment of country.

ambition he may have nursed on
this score
On the broader question as to the
influence of newspapers generally in
political contests under the direct
primary law there is much to be said.
The argument was frequently made
at Olympia, during the tendency of
the primary bill before the legisla-
ture, that the law would put the pol
itics of the state under the control
of the newspapers. This was the
loud and lusty cry of the enemies of
primary legislation, and yet no man
was able to give decent reason
why any decent aspirant for Office
