YOUNG COUPLE PARTED.
Pmrott Sent Home and Mss Lac
renee Left at Ellis Island.

John Henry Parrott. the young English automo-
bile broker. who arrived here week ago Sunday
the Cunarder Lucania with Miss Grace Law
renee. his fiancee, ward in chancery in England.
was taken back to England yesterday on the White
Star liner Majestic. PARROT and the girl were en-
gagged. and wanted TO get married in England. but
in their haste get away from Liverpool failed
to have the ceremony performed When they
rived here Parrott was arrested, on complaint
made through the British consul, and taken to the
Tombs.
Parrott and his hanc&e wanted TO be married
They were encouraged in their determination by
Commissioner Watchorp, Pastor McCaudless. of
Ellis Island. and Chaplain Wade OF the Tombs.
Miss Lawrence detained at Ellis Island and
when arrangements were made to have the
rott had been spirited away the Majestic.
Chaplain Wade indignant over Parrotts
hasty departure and blamed the British Consul
for all, declaring that the latter had thrust him
self into the affair without warrant. He said the
British Consul was to have informed Commissioner
Watchorn before he decided to send Parrott back
10 England and that the ceremony had been az
ranged for yesterday. The chaplain said the con-
sui informed Mr.. McCandless that If Parrott was
married 10 Miss Lawrence the clergyman perform
ing the ceremony would find himself in serious dif-
fcuity with the British government.
Il have been greatly in sympathy with the young
couple said Chaplain Wade. land 1 consider the
charge of embezzlement against Parrott as having
been trumped up to prevent the marriage. | don't
believe the young is in need of money nor
has he misappropriated the money he held for his
English clients. AS it stands. the whole matter Is
deplorable. The proper and decent thing to do was
to have had the ceremony performed. Miss Law
renee is a ward in chancery. and I believe the
couple left hurriedly for this country because of
the difficulties from parental objection that OBJ
the marriage in England. i am Informed
that Mrs Lawrence has cabled her consent TO the

Sailing STORY
ALL A FAKE
LANDER PAPER SAYS GREE
NouGHs STARTED REPORT TO
SECURE CONTROL OF RED CAN
YoN PLACER PROPERTIES

LANDER, Wyo, Oct. 31.--The Ian
der Mountaineer says:
The report that the Red Canyon
placers near this place had been sailed
was started because the Greenoughs,
who promoted the company which was
to- develop the property, desired to OBJ
tain control and escape division of the
enormous profit which should he ex-
tfacted from the ground.
MThree weeks before the sailing
story was fioated one of the Greenough
brothers offered Captain John Hen
derson, one of the owners of the pla-
GERS, $250,OOO for his interest Hen
derson refused the offer and made a
counter proposition that the $250000 be
used in developing the ground and
that the owners receive a royalty of
Is per cent of the profits. This propo-
sition was turned down and a short
time later the sailing. story was given
out" htg
The Mountaineer says the sailing
story is absurd and quotes the history
of the placers during the last 80 years
as proof of the alleged value of The
ground. Jts

Forecast of November Weather.

November 1906 was a wet month
Three times the average rainfall was
registered last November, and the to-
tai for the month was 3.22 inches. The
average for the last seven years Is
only 1872 inches, and in 1904 was the
dryest November on record. The gov
eminent station recorded only .16 of
an inch rainfall. t.g
The average killing frost in this val
ley is November. I, but killing frost
has appeared in the valley as early as
October 10. A frost was freely pre-
dicted this year, but the month has
passed without that damage and has
saved many dollars to the late gar

1904 and the coolest in 1905, the aver
age temperature for the first being As
and for the last being 80. The coolest
November day was in 1900, when the

ASSOCIATION FOR PROTECTION.

Charleston Bureau Evening Teller.
CHARLESTON, Oct. 31-Fruit grow
ers in Charleston, Asotin and Lewiston
are greatly interested in the proposed
new organization looking towards a
unity of action on the part of the fruit
men of the entire fruit belt, and are
anxiously waiting the report of the
committee appointed to arrange the
preliminaries for such an organization
Each year has witnessed additional
planting of fruit trees and vineS I'M
til the crop has grown from a few car
loads to train loads and it is no longer
wise to allow the business to go on in
an unorganized state, to result in fail
ure, when by concerted action 1t can
be made great success
The success that has followed the
results of the Hood river growers and
many other organized bodies should
prove sufficient incentive to the fruit
men of this valley to come out to a
man when the committee sets the date
for a general meeting to complete the
organization.
At meeting held by the fruit grow
ers of Charleston yesterday a commit
tee consisting of Prof. H. L. Talking
ton of Lewiston, A. ]. Carver. E. E.

WASHINGTON Oct. 31.-President
the members of his cabinet except
Secretary Taft for more than two
hours today. The financial situation
was under consideration. Secretary
Cortelyou, although averse to making
a public statement on the situation
views the situation with far greater
equanimity than at any time during
the last 10 days. Fro mthe first he
has not hesitated to make use of the
great resources of the treasury to
check the apprehension manifested
last week.
During the last few days he has de-
posted in the national banks sum
approxinating $50,000,OO0, and since
early in September, when the secre-
tary began his weekly distribution,
nearly $70,000,0O0 have been deposited.
which brings the amount of public
funds now in the national banks up to
over 100000, of which about $12,
500 900 has been deposited to the
credit of the government disbursing
officers.
During President Cleyeland's firs<
term very large amounts of public
funds We're deposited in the national
banks for the declared purpose of re-
Iieving the treasury of a burdensome
surplus, but never before have such
large sums been placed with deposit
