Especial Correspondence Morning journal, /
spokane. Wash. July 30.-Hoyal
Raymond. living near Madison, Wis
found his brother. II. j. Raymond,
given up for dead years ago, at
Sprague. Wash. after causing his ar
rest under the impression he was an
lmpostor. Ropal received n letter
from II. j. Raymond several weeks
ago. asking for financial assistance.
He looked upon the letter with sus-
uicion and his conclusion was that
the man at Sprague had gained some
knowledge OF the Raymond family,
through the long lost brother, who
was believed To have been killed by
his partner on the way north from
California, where they were in 1895.
When Royal reached Sprague he OBJ
tanned a John Doe warrant in Justice
Ettclson's court on the charge of OBJ
tanning money under false pretenses.
A detective arrested John Doe on the
McMelvillc farm, where he was work
ing. Doe asked permission to shave
before appearing for trial, and when
this was done Royal recognized the
man as his brother. The matter was
explained to the court. ana the pro
ceedings were auashed and the two
brothers started for the old home in
Wisconsin.

Jesse W. Thornton, the honey king
of the Yakima valley. west Of Spo-
kane. who has 300 colonies Of bees.

the largest in the history of the val
ley. 1t Is expected 20 ship ten cars or
2. 900, 900 pounds from the valley this
wear to eastern and Pacific coast
markets. The bees are fed on alfalfa,
which Is now in bloom, and they are
thriving. Expert apiarists say that al
Is the ideal feed for bees and in
this the yakima valley eNcels any
other par of eastern Washington
While yet IN it's infancy the honey in
has made rapid progress in the
few years, and there Is every rea-
to believe it will grow until it be-
comes one Of the foremost, next to
fruit. in the valley and in fact
throughout eastern Washington.
