Mrs. Barbara Robertson has fled

riage to Guy Robertson. Mrs. Rob-

IF the land had cost him $4,000
per acre, he would have made per
cent on the investment.
THE fifth crop would have pro-
duced at least ton per acre, as
when examined by two of our citi-
zens, it was from 10 to IA inches
high. The doctor was unable to cut
this crop, however, on account of
other pressing business. (He was
doubtless experimenting to perfect a
species of wheat that would yield 4
crop with each cutting of alfalfa.)
THE wheat crop, which was pa
bushels, together with the benefit of
the pasture, more than paid the cost
of attending this crop. In other
words, the five tons per acre of al
falfa was clear profit"
Now what do you think of that?"

FORTY FOUR YEARS
GREAT SEARCH FOR WIFE
ENDS IN SAD DISCOVERY
Like Enoch Arden, He Returns to
Find Her Again Married-Old
and Broken Man.

SPOKANE, Feb. 17.-Forty-four
years search for child he has new
er seen and his wife, from whom he
was separated a few weeks after thei.
marriage by enlisting in the Thirty
third Iowa regiment when Lincoln
called for volunteers, has been con-
Guided by f. NJ. Dyer, a rancher, liv-
ing near Wyandott, Okla, where he
owns several large tracts of land.
He located his son, ]. H. Dyer, min
ing prospector, in Spokane. His
wife is now Mrs. Simpson, having
gone through the form of divorce
and remarrying w. H. Simpson, for
40 years her husband, when she
learned of Dyer's existence.
The younger Dyer, who is 4G years
of age, was brought up in the belief
that his father had been killed in an
engagement during the war shortly
before the birth of the boy, and the
complications which followed as the
result of the reported death Of the
husband and parent would furnish
material for a novel of interest.
When the report came that Dyer fell
in action in the early COS and the
advices had been seemingly confirm
ed the young widow and her infant
emigrated to me Oregon country,
where, few years afterward, she
married w. H. Simpson, who educat-
ed the boy until he reached his ma
jority. when he started prospecting
in the hills with varying success. Sew
eral other children were born.
Instead of being killed, as his rel
atiyes were led to believe, the elder
Dyer was wounded and captured. He
was taken prisoner to Anderson
vile, where, with several other sol
diers, he escaped and returned to
Iowa, only 70 find that his wife and
little son had gone west. He was
unable to trace them, however, and
several years after the close of the.
war he married again, settling in
Oklahoma, where he learned of the
whereabouts of his wife and child.
The elder Dyers second wife died
several years ago, and when his first
wife learned OF his existence, she ex-
planned matters to her second hus-
band and Immediately went through
the form of divorce. and remarriage
followed.
The younger Dyer has received
several letters from his father, urg-
ing him to abandon mining and go
to Oklahoma, but he does not care
to take advantage of the offer,
though he will visit his father next
month. He said:
when l go TO Oklahoma. I wan.
to go with stake. l have not de-
hnitely decided We. what to do The
fact that my father is now an old
man and that ! am his only living
relative has to be taken into consid-
GRAFTON. However, l am doing well
here and will not abandon my
claims"

WAPATO IMPORTANT.
n. +. Seems to Have Tightly
Locked Bosom.

Wapato is one of the most import
ant shipping points on the line of
the Northern Pacific railway in east
ern Washington, and the Independ-
ent would like very much to tell the
people the amount of freight and ex-
nress handled from this station dur
ing 1907; but it is not to be. For
reasons not made public, the COM
mercial Importance of Wapato as a
stripping point must remain a secret
tightly locked in the bosom of the
Norther Pacific corporation.
Why this is thus deponent saith
not. says the Wapato Independent.
North Yakima newspapers are fur
nished the shipping statistics, the
Toppenish paper has been treated
with like courtesy, and other towns
along the line have been graciously
permitted by the Northern Pacific
company to know how much ship
ping business they were responsible
for. In fact in newspaper career
covering many years in different
parts of the country this is the first
time the editor of this journal ever
was turned down in making a re-
quest for this necessary information
Many thousand tons of freight and
express were shipped from this sta
ton during 1907, and from watchiny
the cars being loaded from day to
day this journal would surmise that
the figures are about as follows.

Whilst a certain atmosphere of
uncertainty surrounding the above
figures may possibly detract some
what from their value as statistical
information, they will serve the pur-
pose of making the official reports
from some of the other towns in
Yakima county look like so cents,
which was one of the objects this
paper had in view when it preferred
its request to be supplied with the
figures, and is the best we can do
under the circumstances.
