Burglar He Killed
Was His Own Uncle

= TACOMA, Oct. 7.-Mistaking him
for a burglar, Harry Starr shot and
almost instantly killed his uncle, Jo-
seph Ely, at 3 o'clock this morning in
the doorway of their tent house in the
center of Bailey street. Discovering
his fatal error, Starr became crazed
and when taken to Jail was almost a
raving maniac.
Starr was awakened by a noise and
called but received no response. Then
seizing his revolver he jumped up and
waited. Suddenly a form appeared in
the opening of the tent and he fired
point blank.
The form crumpled up on the ground
and Mrs. Starr hastily lighted a lamp
and then the mistake was discovered.
He died ten minutes later at ST. Jo-
seph's hospital. The police think Ely
was walking in his sleep and Mrs.
Starr says this often occurred

LITTLE BROWN MEN PLAN FOR
A DAY AT SPOKANE FAIR.
Holiday May Be Given to All Japanese
of the Inland Empire If the Plans
Are Carried Out.

The members of the Japanese Com
mercial club of Spokane are planning
a social day at the Spokane interstate
fair, and although the day has not
been decided on yet, it is expected
that general holiday will be declared
for all Japanese in the Inland Empire
who are interested in the work Of
the Commercial club or the interstate
fair
T. n. Uyeno, manager of the ORR
entail Trading company, who is also
president of the Japanese Commercial
club, in speaking of the visit to
the fair, said:
japanese are interested in the Spo
kane interstate fair as much as any
one. We spent a very profitable day
at the fair last year and plan to attend
in a, body this year The exact day
has not yet been determined; but I ex-
pect the matter will be taken up at
the next meeting of the Commercial
club and decided upon. We expect to
have holiday and will invite all Jap
anese of the Inland Empire to join us.
While the Commercial club is
new organization in this city, only
having been in existence since the 18th

good progress and already have all OF
the japanese firms in Spokane iden-
titled with the organization, aggregat-
ing 40 members and representing a
volumne of business amounting to
$4,000 annually.
THE. object Of our club is to get in

races"

there was $2S2.04 fees for state sur

more expensive than it should have
hoan and Mr.. McCaw thinks it can be
easily done for $500.
County Engineer Wrinkle in connec-
ton with this, stated that better

REPORTS ON BEES.
INSPECTOR +. NJ. Smith Presents Unique
PAPER


Paper.
Entirely unique, in this county, is
the report just handed in by County
Bee Inspector F. N. Smith. It, Is Tor
the year ending October L, and is the
first ever handed in to the commits
sioners in this county.
According to the report, Mr.. Smi n
examined 1893 stands Of bees in the
county last year and found 73 stands
of foul brood. OF these, about 80 per
cent are reported cured.
Bee raising is one of the profitable
industries of the county, according to
the county inspector and the foul
brood pest is not bad when handled
properly. More bees would be raised,
in his opinion, if the profit was realized.
n'he insects are little trouble and there
are plenty of blossoms in the country

THE EVERGREEN
BLACKBERRY

The Oregon Evergreen is the best
and most profitable blackberry for
garden cultivation. 1t grows to per-
fection in Oregon and Washington
and is getting pretty well scattered
over the mountains and foothills of
the Puget sound basin. The plant
is true TO name in that It's leaves re-
main green throughout the winter
and there is never a season when the
branches are bare. 1t produces won
derful crops Of berries and continues
to put out blossoms and mature fruits
until late in the autumn. The fruit
| Is of semi-wild flavor and so solid
that 1t can be shipped for a thou
sand miles aud placed on the market
in a fresh condition.
Where the plant originated is one
Of the unsolved problems. One story
Is to the effect that missionary dis.
covered the fruit growing in the Sa-
moan islands and carried plants to
the Willamette valley of oregon and
set them in a garden. From that be-
ginning the plants have been distrib-
uted over the Pacific coast region.
But another theory is that the vines
are native to the rainy districts OF
the Puget sound country. II is claim
ed that the first cultivated berries
were grown in Puyallup, Washing
ton. The originator picked fruits
from his first three vines for a quar-
ter of a century. He stated before
his death that he had clearly demon
strated that the blackberry would
return one thousand dollars an acre
every year
The evergreen berry, has been the
making of two thrifty towns in the
Puyallup valley. It's fruits are pluck
ed from nearly one thousand indi-
vldual patches and shipped in car
load lots to the cities OF the inter-
mountain region. The surplus is
handled by two large canneries and
the demand for the berries increases
every year. There is no doubt but
that the berry will become a general
crop in many sections OF the coun-
try. IL begins bearing after three
years from planting and continues for
many years. There is nothing mys-
terlous about the plant or its fruits.
IL requires no particular care in
transplanting or cultivation. Many
fine clusters OF the berries may be
found In the woods and secluded
spots OF the western slope of the Cas-
cades and on the foothills OF the
Olympic mountains.-The Western
