Information:
Connor's Biography.
General Patrick Edward Conner came
to America from ireland at very early
age. He enlisted in the regular army
and served on the southwestern frontier
for five years. During the Mexican war
he raised a company of volunteers in
Texas and led them as their captain at
the battle of Buena Vista. where he
was wounded and received hOnOrab bic
mention for gallantry in the official dis
patches At the close of the Mexican
war he settled in California When the
civil war broke out. he was offered the
colonelcy of the Third California volun-
teeTs. His command consisted of the
Third California Volunteer infantry and
a part of the Second California cav
airy, afterward joined by few COM
panies from Nevada, and numbering all
told 700 men. These troops had vol
unteeTed insthe expectation of being or
dered to the seat of war. but the long
march overland was considered too irk-
some, and Colonel Conner was ordered
TO remain in Utah. About this time
Connor was made brigadier general.
Services In Utah.
General Connor's greatest service
while stationed in Utah. outside of the
firm stand he took in behalf of law and
order, was his mastery campaign
against the Shoshones and Bannocks,
which ended In what is known as the
battle of Bear River. For fifteen years
these northern tribes had infested the
overland mail route, slauShtering and
plundering emigrants. massacring set
tiers and burning their homes. General
Connor determined to put a stop to
these savageries and marched against
the Indians in January, 1853. The main
battle was fought on the 29th, and the
power of the Indians was broken. This
victory opened up the fertile lands OF
Idaho and the north to settlement. This
Indian war and the magnificent results
which followed General ConnOr's vic
tory have not received adequate recog-
milton in the pages of history for the
reason that our country was at the
time engaged in the all-absorbing strife
of the civil war. and the exploits of
such soldiers as General Conner did not
receive the attention nor the command
ers the credit, which would have re
suited in times of peace. The grave OF
General ConnOT occupies a plot OF
ground i'm the Military cemetery at Fort
Douglas 1t is proposed TO erect a
monument in his honor at some spot in
Salt Lake City best suited to the pur-
pose.

STILL HOLDS SUPREMACY

Wenatchee still holds its suprem-
acy as a fruit producing section by
taking the chief prizes at the Spokane
apple show, says the talented editor
of the Loomis Prospector, Frank M.
Dallam. They came by the prizes
honestly, as the reputation of We
natchee fruit is based upon superior
quality. Wenatchee is located in an
ideal, if limited, territory, for fruit
growing. Nature nowhere has fash
toned a spot better adapted to ORCH
ard culture. 1t is large cove with a
general slope to the east, hemmed in
on the west by semi-circle of noun
tains, and bounded on the east by
| the Columbia. Breaking out of the
mountains and crossing the narrow
est part of the fiat to the north is
the Wenatchee river, a stream OF sui
hcient volume to irrigate a vast area
1t was an easy feat to carry the water
of this river to all parts of the lower
Wenatchee valley, and this has been
done. Low in altitude, protected by
the surrounding mountains, getting
the full benefit of the summer sun
with abundance of life-giving water
without which the land would be, and
was before the days of irrigation, q
barren desert, and soil containing
the chemical ingredients for healthy
vegetation it is not to be wondered al
that Wenatchee through the grace Of
the Almighty and the enterprise q!
man should come to be known fal
and wide as the home Of the big red
apple, and the superior quality of ev'
cry fruit known to pOmolOgy grown
in the temperate zone. While claim
ing that Okanogan county possesses
as good fruit lands as that about We.
natchee, and that wherever grown UP
here the fruit is equal in size, color
symmetry and flavor to that of the
better known product of that place
still we feel no envy at the hOnors
that have come to our southern
neighbors, and congratulate them on
the record made at the big show. In
future years this section may enter
the market as a competitor of Wen
atchee in the fruit business, but it
will be a friendly rivalry, the feel
ing existing that the consumer will
get his moneys worth, whether the
fruit he partakes of ripened along the
shores of the mighty Columbia, or
upon the banks of the sluggish Okla
hogan.

MAN AND CHRIST
MAS SHOPPING
WHAT A CHANGE COMES OVER
THE MANS SPIRIT WHEN HE
DOES HIS CHRISTMAS SHOP
PING WITH HIS WIFE.

"Have you ever noticed" said a
prominent manager of one of the city
department stores to o World report
er, what a tremendous change
comes over a man the moment he
enters a store. This fact has been
impressed more than ever on my
mind by the sight of so many men
doing Christmas shopping this year
with their wives. On the sidewalk
he has his wife neatly tucked under
his arm. He is ready to buck into
the new city fire engine and buck it
of the street, to swing an automobile
around to scowl at policemen. and
bullyrag crowds and fight the wrole
world. The dainty wife hangs and
clings to him sweetly and demurely
AMI tenderly. But watch them when
when they enter the store. The great
fear settles on his face. He pulls his
hat firmly over his ears. He grasps
his walking stick and trembles. He
is no longer the gallant protector. He
is a cringing coward. And see how
beautifully the vine-clinging, w.
climbing wife plays her part. She
grasDs him by the hand, squeezing
his fingers to encourage him onward
no. She does not lead the way; she
carves the way. Talk about your
pioneers telling trees and under
brush 1 have seen little frail
1OO-pound shopper in the store this
week make a pathway wide enough
for a street parade. And very often
she has had a big, healthy, six-foot
hulk of a man as a. trailer. 1t is
rather amusing when the trailer gets
cross and weary and mother lets him
sit down in a far-away corner of the
store to catch his breath. Do you
know what mother says to him?

FOR WORK, SAYS SENATOR
BOURNE
Special to the World.

Special to the World.
Washington, D. c., Dec. 23.-Ex-
planning his bill for increasing the
salaries of the President and Vice
President, Senator Bourne of Oregon
today said that aside from all senti-
ment in the matter, he was of the
opinion that if man is big enough
to be President of the United States,
the biggest corporation in the world,
he is certainly as big in the business
of the government as the president
of a railroad or a manufacturing
enterprise, and should be paid as a
business proposition what the de-
mands of the position indicate as a
fair compensation. The Presidents
salary, he declared, has never borne
any relatively adequate proportion to
the mental and physical work and
worry of the position, which are an
nually increasing.
Senator Bourne called attention to
the fact that the president of France
receives a salary of $4,000, and a
like amount for executive expendi-
lures.
Bourne's bill proposes to place the
Presidents salary at 100000, and
the Vice-President's at $25, 900.

LAID UP FOR WINTER

Hunters, Wash, Dec 23.-The
steamer Enterprise, operating on the
upper Columbia, between Spokane
Landing, Hunters and Kettle Falls,
laid up at Hunters Thursday for the
winter.
The first season of continuous nav
igation on this portion of the Colum-
bia is accomplished without mishap,
although the channels, Instructions
and bars were at first little known.
The amount of business done was sat-

other products were heavy.

of the Columbia" said Captain Fred
McDermott, who has operated the
boat, while not numerous are in a
few instances treacherous and need
full of immediate removal to safe
guard the successful navigation of
theriver. The blasting of the hidden
rocks at several points would relieve
constant danger of loss of life AMI
property.
THE country along the river from
Kettle Falls to Spokane Landing is
magnificent and the production is in
creasing so the coming year promises
to be busy one, and the legislature
should appropriate enough funds to
remove these danger points before
the next seasons run.
The whole matter, including the
report from Captain McDermott on
the needs, will be laid before the leg

Spokane, Dec. 23.-Commercial

Mayor C. Herbert Moore said that
the mines in Washington and else

more than to supply their own needs,
adding:
Accordingly, for domestic and
manufacturing purposes we get our
