PRINCE OF WH4LES.
Il Life Size Model Of Him Noe ON
Exhibition Here.

realistic idea of how big a big cetacean
really is may now be gathered by any visitor to
the Museum of Natural History In this city.
where the splendid new model life size and life
like, of a seVenty-siX-foot sulphur bottom whale
is now on exhibition. The model weighs four
tons, is the gift to the museum of George S.
Bowden. one of the trustees, and is the largest
model of its kind in this country.
The whale, when alive weighed sixty-four
tons. 1t was captured four years ago at Ba-
lena Station. off the southwest coast of New
foundand. 1t was sevcnty-six feet long from tip
to tip, and measured thirty-ive feet around the
shoulders, the head measuring nineteen feet and
the fins eleven. The body contained forty tons
of flesh while the bubber weighed eight tons.
The bones of the skeleton weighed eight tons.
The material used in the construction Of the
model was a mixture Of paper pulp, glue and
plaster The anatomy of the animal was care
fully studied, every curve and line, every
wrinkle and depression being reproduced to the
minutest detail.
This species of whale is known as a sulphur
bottom, which takes its name from the yellow
ish white marking its belly. The deep cor
rugations in the skin Of the belly also add much
to its peculiar appearance.
While until recently sulphur bottom whales
have not been uncommon. and hundreds have
been taken annually the increasing demand for
whalebone has led to the establishment of
many new stations, and in the last Few years
their numbers have decreased to an Affirming
extent Or. True of the Natural Museum at
Washington, says that while there is i'm
mediate danger Of the species becoming extinct
yet at the present rate of decrease il is probable
that before many years have passed their ap-
pearance will be that the capture OF an
adult will be an event worthy OF mention.

STEEL FOR new
BRIDGE ARRIVING
FIRST CARLOADS OF GIRDERS
FOR TOLL BRIDGE ACROSS
COLUMBIA RECEIVED
YESTERDAY

After a period of enforced idleness
lasting over the past three months
owing to lack of material, actual
construction work on the new bridge
began this morning and tn first piece
of steel was laid today by r. G. En-
glish, the engineer in charge of the
work and representing Gerrick &
Gerrick, the firm which has the con-
tract for the building of the bridge.
One consignment of steel, consist
ing of two cars, arrived in Wenat-
chez yesterday and another this
morning. Other consignments are on
the road and are expected to arrive
as fast as required. The work done
today was the placing in position of
the two 60-fOOt girder approach
spans which rest on the first pier,
and the erection of the steel bent
underneath the two girders.
Engineer English has a force of a
dozen men now at work and addi-
tions to the crew will be made as
fast as the material arrives. Anoth-
er crew is at work removing the
wooden falsework and superstructure
leading to the piers. This will be
completed within the next few days.
The water in the river is the low
est for this time of the year that
has been known for many years and
it is the intention of Engineer En-
glish to complete the steel work be-
tween the shore piers before the
water rises. Both the pier on the
other side of the river and the second
pier on this side, which were far out
in the river when constructed, are
now high and dry.

MAY TAKE UP CONTINUOUS
RESIDENCE WITH HIS WIFE
Gottlob Schmitt of Quincy Has Been
the Victim Of Most Unfortunate
Circumstances.

Attorney Henry Grass leaves this
afternoon for Quincy to appear in
the interests of Gottlob Schmitt
whose claim is to be contested before
the e. S. Commissioner. 1t appears
that Mr.. Schmitt's intentions have
been all right but as there is a GER
tain place OF more of less note paved
with good intentions the United
States authorities have been forced
to pass up such matters and demand
a bona fide residence on homesteads.
Mr.. Schmitt intended to hold down
his homestead all right but his wife
refused to stay on the claim with
him and the result is that he has
been torn by conflicting emotions;
one the love of man for his wife
and the other a desire to set 160
acres of Uncle Sans good land by a
few years continuous residence in
one spot. An unsympathetic wretch
has taken advantage of Mr.. Schmitt' S
predicament and proposes to take
the homestead for himself and let
Mr. Schmitt's residence be with his
wife at their home in Quincy.

BIG DEMAND FOR 4

WENATCHEE APPLES
ARE IN DEMAND

Mr.. and Mrs. Conrad Rose return
ed to Wenatchee yesterday after an
extended tour of the country, lasting
about two months. Mr.. Rose went
for the purpose of looking up mar
kets for Wenatchee fruit in the east
and according to a statement by him
the Wenatchee valley fruit will not
want for a market.
In talking over the matter Mr..
Rose said, while in New York I had
occasion to look up the apple market
and from now on am convinced that
England and to other places in the
east.
Il saw considerable Hood Rive
fruit which has gained such a reputa-
tion and found it to be about the

ception that Hood River fruit is put
up in little more fancy package
The top layer is wrapped with
printed paper and the boxes are lined
with fancy paper. This has been one
of the secrets of the Hood River sue
cess in marketing their products"
During their visit east Mr.. and
Mrs. Rose visited with their boys
who are now in school in Minnesota
They returned by way of California

$3.50 NET PER ACRE
FROM PEACH ORCHARD
II. ID. HALL MAKES AFFIDAVIT
TO REMARKABLE YIELD OF
PEACHES FROM THREE
YEAR-OLD TREES

Now comes H. D. Hall with fruit
story calculated to make the eyes OF
komestekers and even old timers
stick out like those of we'll fed
bull-frog. Mr.. Hall has always had
a reputation for veracity but he has
reinforced this with an affidavit
made before w. w. Gray, notary
public, dissipating any doubt the
skeptical ones might have as to the
truth of his peach story which in it
self is a peach. Mr. Hall makes af-
fidavit that during the year 1906
he plucked 240 boxes of peaches
which netted him 62 u cents peg box
or at the rate of $3.50 per acre net
One of the remarkable features of
this yield is that the trees which
produced the peaches were but three
years old, not having reached their
age Of heaviest bearing. Following
is the affidavit.

JUMPED ON MACHINE WITH
WOLFISH GLEE AND HOBNAH.S
Slot Machine With History is De-
StrOyed i'm TaCOma-Was at
Cascade Tunnel.

In recent raid on the slot ma
chimes in Tacoma last week there
was captured by the police one old
machine which has a history. This
old machine was at one time years
ago at Cascade Tunnel where it
was located in one of the numerous
saloons there.
The story runs that during the
days of the tunnel building a crowd
of drunken loggers played it for six
hours without winning SO much as
a white bean. During the wee small
hours it occurred to them that the
cards were stacked and that they had
been bucking skin game. They
examined the machine and discover
ed that every number was plugged
that it could not be made to pay
without the use of an injunction and
an AK; the ak to be used first.
Seeking vengeance, the machine
became the object of their wrath,
and with their revolvers they riddled
it with bullets and jumped upon it
with wolfish glee and hobnailed
shoes.
The machine was wrecked and left
but not in the hands of the saloon
keeper for the angry loggers carried
it away and the saloon man never
brought suit
A number of years later, when the
tunnel had been completed and TIE
town vanished the old machine was
found and sold with the others at the
tunnel, repaired and put to work
in Tacoma where it had worked un-
interruptedly until the recent raid.
