THROAT CUTTING IN WFNATCHFE
One Jap Cuts Another Jap's Throat and
Gets Away in Broad Daylight

The holy city lost its reputation for
good behavior last Thursday when one
little brown man cut another little
brown mans throat and walked out of
town in broad daylight. Our esteemed
contemporaries have had time to re-
feet over the bad taste displayed in
throwing rocks at a neighbor.
From the best information obtaina-
BILE, Jap colony occupying a house
fronting on the railroad had been en-
gagged in gambling when two members
engaged in a quarrel which resulted in
one stabbing another with a knife, in
ficting three wounds in the neck and
finally leaving the knife sticking in the
victims throat. The assaulted man
lived only very few minutes.
After the assault the Jap went to the
Cottage House, some three blocks
from the scene of the difficulty, where
he had been employed, tied up small
bundle of clothing and walked out of
town. The supposition is that he
started west and passed thru this place
on his way to the Sound, but this is
partly guess work on the part of the
officers who followed the slayer. Our
own town officers and the railroad de-
tectives at this place gave all the assis-
tance they could but up to going to
press no trace of the murderer has
been found. An unconfirmed rumor
was circulated that he had been seen
in the vicinity of the tunnel.
The report that the Jap was allowed
to get away to avoid the expense OF
prosecuting Wenatchee criminal we
hasten to deny as unworthy Of belief.
We have reason to believe that every
effort was made to capture the muir
derer; the whole affair was only one of
those rebukes that providence saw fit
to administer to Pharisaical neighbor

that smelled like glue factory when
it was rising but tasted better than any
thing made from XXX roller process
-four ground into dust One suspender
was enough for any boy, and if the
girls chewed gum they had to climb
tamarack tree and dig it out with
screwdriver. Progress don't always
mean betterment. Those old pioneers
were as happy as any people on earth.
They needed less than a quarter of the
luxuries of today and had six times OF
the necessaries. They neither froze in
the billiards nor roasted in the heat;
they were too tough to be afflicted
seriously by either heat or cold.

GOOD OLD DAYS ARE GONE
Never to Come Back - Like Rachel the
Old Man Mourns and Can not be
COmforted

Nothing is as it was in those good
old days. Then boy was boy; he
wore overalls and was always ready for
work. He had half days work to do
before going to school and another
after his return, and you could kick
him ten feet and he would bound back.
Now boy is a kid. When he gets
ready to 60 to school he can't bring in
pail of water for fear Of soiling his
clothes. If he gets home before the
evening meal is done something is
wrong and if you can keep him at
home after 8 p. m. you will require a
gatling gun.
Then the clothing was all made at
home and the only way you could tell
which was front or rear was to watch
the forepiece of the cap. The cloth
ing was so loose that he could turn
around in it after they were on and
thus fool his best friends. Our sisters
worked then and helped to cook and
wash and mend and do other work.
Now they have good luck if they get
their duds on in time to eat breakfast
and go to school. When the preacher
came the boys and girls were expected
to sit up straight as cob and speak
when they were spoken to. Now they
they are brought to the front and put
through PAGES.
The girl must knock few stars out
of the organ or piano and the boy
must speak his piece, and looks like a
sick monkey begging for raisins.
Everything is progressive. They used
to get married for two dollars and be-
gin keeping house on five dollars.
The bride made her own clothes and
the groom's mother made his. One
suit lasted year for good'' and two
more for everyday. They rocked the
baby to sleep in a "saptrough " and
let it have a chunk of salt pork for
dessert. The whole community could
work sixteen hours and then go to a
''shindig'' and old and young dance
till daylight. They had no brain
storms, I" heartfailure' nor appendi-
citis". Brainstorms were cured with
water elm, heartfailure was called fits"
and appendicitis was called 'bellyach"
They rolled him with hot bricks and
no one knew that he had vermiform
doficker that was liable to get full of
cherry stones or ground cherry seeds.
We used to eat soup and have sas Z"
OF all kinds. Now We get fruit salads
and consomme and have biscuits made
with baking powder that looks as
though some one had sat" on EN-.
We had bread made with rising"

Il cd
!. Butte, Mont. Sept. 14.-As the re.
suit OF overproduction Of copper and
temporary lull in the demand for
the red metal orders have been issued
by which the output of the Amalga-
mated properties will be reduced to
about 40 per cent of the normal pro
duction, or from 20,OO0,000 pounds to
about 100000 pounds per month,
and in the future no work will be
done on Sundays. Curtailing the pro-
duction to 40 per cent of the normal
will mean a reduction in the working
forces that will throw about 5000 men
out of employment. When the mines
will resume with full forces is prob.

AMOUNTED TO IMMENSE SUM
In the Eight Years Ending In 1906 the
Octopus Earned Nearly Half . "A

New York, Sept. 1S.-Delv1ng into
the financial workings of the Standard
Oil company of New Jersey, the hold
ing company Of all the subsidiary or
ganizations of the so-called oil trust,
Frank B. Kellogg, who is conducting
the federal suit for the dissolution Of
the company, brought forth Tuesday
to public view for the first time the
enormous profits made by the Stand
ard Oil company. In period OF
eight years from 1899 to 1906 inclu.
sive, the Standard Oil company in a
statement spread upon the record OF
Tuesdays hearing, was shown to have
earned the total Of $49O,315,934. or at
the rate Of more than $61,000.0O0
year and distributed to its sharehold'
ers In the same period $3OS,354,403. p
While the company was earning
these vast sums in the refining of oil
the statements adduced at the hearing

1906 the assets of the company grew
by leaps and bounds from $200,791,-

Financiers and those seeking knowl:
edge Of the exact profits Of the Stand
ard Oil company have striven vainly
to obtain the figures which, Mr.. KEEL
3logg succeeded Tuesday in placing up
on the record of the court. The Stand
ard OIL company makes no statement
OF its business and ether than these
declarations Of a dividend, it makes no
public announcement by which Its
business may be gagged .'.. 20
The hearing brought out much In
9ormation which Mr.. Kellogg OBJ
sained from the Standard Oil company.
Mr.. Kellogg obtained a statement
showing that the Standard Oh COM
pany OF New Jersey controlled by
stock ownership over seventy compa'
MES engaged in the refining and the
transportation by pipe line of oil on
Sept. IA, 1907. The. Standard OIL
company had always carefully guarded
the list Of it's subsidiary companies
and the amount of its shareholdmgs.
