chemical that was used with such
great success last year and which was
proven in every respect to give entire
satisfaction.
8 The board advises all orcaardists to
use Swift's arsenate of lead in place
Of other preparations Some others
are cheaper aid some others are
known to contain less arsenic than
Swift's preparation. but the latter is
the best in the end, for it is known
to be all right. 1t has been tried and
found satisfactory in every respect
While some fruit growers may think
their crop for this year is killed, the
board advises all to order their sup
ply of a~rsenate of lead now, neverthe
less, for it may be that their fruit is
not killed, and it would be a serious
mistake to have a fruit crop and be
without the spraying poison. The
arsenate of lead viii keep over till
next year, should the o~rchardists'
fears prove founded. If the poison is
not ordered now, it might be impossi-
BILE to get it later on in time to use
at the proper time.

Discover Washington Assassin.

Seattle, Wash, Feb. 22.-It is believ-
ed that the mystery surrounding the
death of Miss Addie Roper. who was
murdered and her body burned at the
little town of Blaine, Wash, about a
month age is now in a fair way to
be solved by the arrest of Doan Dell
who is being held to answer the crime
was found in the cell occupied by the
suspect, and it is also declared that
an analysis of the bloodstains found
on DelPs clothing has shown them to
be human. Bruises which Dell could
o explain were found pom his per-
son and a revolver was found upon
him when searched after his arrest
About a dozen persons have been ar
rested in connection with the crime,
but the authorities are confident that
they have at last found the right man
and he will be held for trial.
The crime was the most horrible
in the criminal history of the North
west. Miss Roper lived alone and us
ually kept a considerable sum of mo-
ney in the house. 1t is supposed on
the night of the murder she returned
from her work TO find n or more
persons ransackiag the house. 1t is
thought that she recognized the rob
ber or robbers. and that she was then
gagged and hacked to pieces with a
Ratchet. A liberal supply of kero-
sense was then applied to the girls
clothing and the interior of the house
and fire was left to cover all traces
of the crime. The efforts of the fire
department checked the flames before
