Watson's Big Stories.

+. II. Watson OF Waston Bros
grain buyers, arrived from his home
1t Lacota, across the lake from Chi
ago. Monday evening. He left
shortly before Christmas last year
aud sees many improvements in
kennewick on his return. He is on
hand to help handle the big Horse
Heaven wheat crop. His country is
"A great one for peaches in ordinary
years but the severe cold weather
last winter killed the trees and he
spent a couple Of months pulling
peach stumps out of his orchard
where he had expected to spend the
same time this fall picking peaches.
The trees were about seven years
old and would be bearing the limit
uf yield. He lost 900 trees. This sec
ton ships vast quantities of fruit by
boat to Chicago. Benton Harbor
shipped by boat to Chicago 200 900
crates Of Strawberries last spring
which netted the grower a dollar a
crate. In his town Of South Haven
there are a couple of the finest sum-
mer resort h hotels, which are patron
ICED by the wealthy people OF Chi
cagO. The lowest rates in these are
IS per day or $50 per week. One re-
sort has a fine palm garden as an
adjunct which is as beautiful as you
can see anywhere.

subscriptions are being taken by
NG. Blalock of Walla Walla to raise
money to purchase the steamer
Norma and place her on a twice a.
week schedule from kenne wick and
pasco to Cello. The purchase price
for the boat is $4,000. The sub
scribers receive shares Of Open River

amount of their subscriptions. Mon

n delegation Of the Pasco CONNER

hers OF the Comm -rcial Club and
business men. Doctor Blalock took
the floor and made the following
points, which are only a small part
OF a most informing speech filled
with up-to-date facts as to the navi-
cation of the Columbia river:
1t was necessary to purchase the
Norma to handle the business on the
upper river.
She would also be used by Col.
Roessler, the government engineer
IN charge OF the government i'm
movements on the Columbia. Mr..
Roessler had informed him that he
was ready to go to work at five
different points and would be able to
continue the work for a period OF
two years. The government would
need the services OF such a boat as
the Norma In locating the work to
be done. The work would be con-
tinued until the appropriation OF
more than s4OO, 900 made last winter
had been expended.
The big task of installing the locks
at.elilo to Big Eddy was one-third
done and apout 800 men were at
work there now. The Cello work
should he placed on a permanent
appropriation so that it would re-
ceive its proper allowance without
the necessity OF pressing it before
Congress at each session. Judging
by the experience they had in press
Ing the completion of the Cascade
Locks far down the river, the pro.
motion W ork was largely done when
the permanent appropriation was
secured.
canvass was then made and
$500 raised toward the $4,000, the
total required. The committee thinks
the amount will be raised to S350C
when the canvass is completed. The
amount raised was highly gratifying
to DR.. BlalOck who accorded the
donors unlimited praise.
The Pasco party returned in the
evening accompanied by a lively
bunch of Kennewic boosters, headed
by President G F. Richardson. Some
OF them were: y. L. Hanson, W. G,
King, F. A. Swingle, w. S. Maddrey,
Mayor L. E. Johnson, H. E. John
son, H. A. Bier, Alex Bier and Phil
Bier, Roy Pierce. Postmaster j. N.
Scott, A. New Ow, Z. E. Williams
and E. D. Collins.
similar meeting was held In
Pasco and when the boys filed out
to catch their train $1280 had been
raised. The united and vigorous &C
tion OF two towns of closely -allied
interests is good omen OF develop
ment and strength.

MONARCH AS GLUTTON
Doctors put Gourmand King
of Portugal in Misery
by Dieting.

Lisbon, Sept. 22.-King Carlos Of
Portugal, the latest and jolliest mon
arch in Europe, who has laughed at
threats of bombs and continued to
gorge himself when war threatened to
invade his domain. has been halted
by his doctors to prevent him from
eating himself to death.
That the king was in a fair way to
do this, the sage medical men were
sure, as they sat in counsel each day
while their monarch was fatally stuff
fng himself King Carlos lately had
been outdoing his famous predecessor,
King Charles Y. OF the sixteenth cen
fury. whose appetite no cook in the
ROYAL kitchen could satisfy.
Fatty degeneration of the royal
heart is what the physicians OF Carlos
fear and to prevent this they keep his
roval highness on a strict diet. Not
only have they defined the quality Of
the food the spendthrift king shall
eat. but they have fixed the exact
quantity and the time he shall spend
at each meal.
They have told him he must obey
them or die. He is trying hard TO
obey them, but he IS hungry now. al
ways hungry, and he suffers torture
from the edict which takes away from
him the deucacies in which he found
/ his chief enjoyment

Senator Borah Charged with
Fraud, Won't Dodge

as one Of the principal prosecutors for
the state of Idaho at the recent trial
of William y. Haywood, secretary of

ed with conspiring to defraud the gov

Twelve other persons have been in
dicted with Senator Borah, but he will
be the first to face a federal jury, hav-
ing demanded a trial prior to the time
he shall present his credentials as a
senator next December In Washington.
others of the defendants have inter
preted demurrers because of abate-
ment and other legal technicalities,
many of which are stil pending. They
have charged that the United tSates
district attorney, Norman n. Ruick
used improper and illegal methods
while securing the indictments But
Senator Borah has simply entered q
plea of not guilty and has forbidden
his attorneys to take advantage of any
technicalities whatsoever. He has
stated as his desire that the case should
be tried on its merits.
The indictments against Senator
Borah and the twelve others charge
that they entered into a conspiracy
with los residents of Boise whereby
the latter were to take up timber LAND
claims of 80 acres each. They were
to pay the minimum price to the gov
eminent and later, when the claims
were finally approved, to transfer the
land to the Barber Lumber company
whose principal officers are resident!
of Wisconsin.
James r Barber and Samuel G
Moon Of Eau Claire, Wis, are among
those indicted. 1t is claimed that tn,

New York. Sept. 22.-Rabbi Joseph

terday in the free synagogue in this
city on The Way Out OF the Ghetto"
He detailed the successes of the vari-
Gus farm schools run BY Jews in the
United States as an argument against
those who say that the Jews are too
thoroughly commercialized to ever
make farmers. DR.. Krauskopf said:
1T was a mistake to have suffered
the building up of your Ghetto. 1t
was a blunder to have DISCOURAGED
agricultural colonization by misdirected
effort. II is a crime not to profit by
past mistake and blunder and permit
the evil TO root itslef yet deeper and
to lay the foundation of a serious
Jewish problem in the United States.

TO STUDY EXPLOSIVE
'Shimose" Shell Will De

Washington. D. c., Sept 22.-Ofh-
Gals of the bureau Of ordnance. navy
department, have been directed by the
secretary of the navy to make spe-
cial study OF the high explosives used
BY the Japanese in the Russian-Jap-
anese war and report to the depart-
ment The tremendous damage done
by 'shimose" has prompted this ac-
ton.
It is realized by ordnance officers
that high explosives are as important
to naval warfare and go as for toward
deciding a battle as heavy guns, and
as the Japanese seem to have had
more experience in this line than any
other nation the bureau OF ordnance
is taking their work as basis Of
carrying out their experiments.
Heavy Armor No Protection.
Tests recently conducted at Indian
Head impressed the chief of ordnance
that even the heavy armor OF our bat

KRUPP GUNS FOR
JAPANESE SHIPS.
Big Order Placed by Admiral Yama-
moto,s Commission for AYmory for
"Dreadnoughts."

LONDON, July 9.-The Berlin corre-
spondent of the Daily Mail says that Adj
miral Yamamoto's naval commission,
which has just left Germany, placed a
big order with the Krupps for Pinch
guns for the new Japanese Dreadnoughts,
which are being built in Japan and Eng
land.
The order will take nine months TO
complete. 1t Is stated that 1t was given
in Germany because the British works are
already working to their full capacity to
turn out D~readnought armament for Brit
ish and foreign ships.
AS many as 120 tweive-inch guns are
now being built in England. The Japan
ese commissioners found that the British
gunmakers had not expanded their plants
proportionally to the demand for big guns
created by the general adoption of the
Dreadnought armament. while the Krupps,
within two years, have enlarged their
plants at Essen by extensions costing
s15.00O,000. and increased the STAN from
1900 to 10000 men.
