called for payment and the call will
mature on January II. Another call
will be issued by the treasurer short
ly and it seems absolutely safe to
assume that no warrants now being
stamped not paid for want of funds
will remain outstanding for a longer
period than six weeks and all of
them will be paid in March. I'm
der the circumstances, 1t would seem
that a discount of even l per cent
on these warrants would be hardly
fair to such holders as might be in
need of ready money.
I'VE hope that this brief expla-
nation of actual conditions will en-
able warrant holders to dispose of
their warrants at par. We might add
that in some places within the state
where the conditions are understood
the banks and warrant buyers are
unhesitatingly taking care of all war

service. The Wapato ditch is now
under the charge of the Indian SER
vice, which is anxious to relinquish
it. AS soon as the change can be
made, the land under the ditch will
practically be thrown open to set
Element to white people.
Jay Lynch, superintendent of the
Yakima Indian reservation, admitted
yesterday that plans are under way
to effect the transfer of tle Wapato
ditch. He was unable to state how
soon it would be done. AS much of
the land under the Wapato ditch
is owned by Indian minors, and,
therefore, can not be sold under the
present bill permitting Indians to
sell co acres of their S0-acre allot-
ment, an amendment to that bill will
likely be introduced at this session
of congress by Congressman Jones
allowing the minors land to be sold
in the same way.
The Wapato ditch was constructed
about two years ago, is 81 miles
long, and irrigates about 1900 acres
of land. 1t is now in charge of the
Indian serivec of the government, OF
which Mr.. Lynch is the head on the
Yakima reservation. In case 1t is
taken over by the reclamation SER
vice, it will be conducted in the same
way as the other government canals
in the state. The transfer of the
ditch will be an important factor
in the development of the Indian res
ervation.

State Treasurer Mills and State Aud

statement:
1--WE are advised that in various

and, in hope that we may be instu-

unnecessary loss on their part, we
submit the following statement of
the actual condition Of the states Il
nances, with respect to the general
fund:
"On December IA, 1907, the treas

The necessity for this arose from the

and there was, therefore, no more
available from that source with
which to augment the general fund.
Always In the past, as at present,
the general fund has run low or has
become entirely depleted about the
end OF the year. but there has always
been sufficient money in the perma-
nent school fund to borrow from,
under the provisions OF chapter A.
laws OF 1899, to keep the state on
cash basis pending the receipt OF the
large tax collections which are re-
ceived in March and April each year.

MERRY WIDOW HAT
REDUCED TO ASHES
Singular Accident at Gdmm'S
Drug Store Yesterday
Afternoon.

A very singular accident occurred
at the drug store of c. A. Gamm yes
terday afternoon. A young lady who
is visiting friends ID the :ity living
OH the west side, went into the store
and purchased two souvenir cards and
while standing at show case and ad-
dressing them her hat, an immense
Merry Widow, came in contact with
the cigar lighter and the grip being
pushed down, exposed the light and
the fire was soon communicated to the
beautiful hat of feathers and flowers
which was soon in a blaze. A lady
in the store at the time, seeing the
incipient confragatiou gave the alarm
and the work of saving the lady and
not the hat began and 1T was some
time before she was relieved of the
burning headgear which was almost
reduced to ashes. AS strange as it
may seem, the hair on the lady's head
was not burned nor singed. but her
hands were considerably burned in her
frantic efforts to separate herself
from the hat. She was taken to the
home of her friend by DR.. Habhegger
in his auto, who dressed her hurns and
made her as comfortable as possible.
The victim Of the unusual accident
was Miss Marie Bum of Milwaukee,
who is visiting at the home of Theo-
dore Sprenger in the Fifth ward.

COUPLE OF FAK|RS
WORKING THE PUBLIC.
Advertisers Are Warned
Against Two Strangers
Selling Advertising Space.

News comes from the northern part
of the state that leads to the belief
that fakirs Who have been operating
there IN representing themselves as
agents soliciting advertising for pre-
tended special editions of papers, are
possibly the same who were In Water
town not long ago.
The chief of police of Eau Claire,
arrested man in Chippewa Falls
last Monday night charged with OBJ
tanning money under false pretenses.
1t appears from the Eau Claire Tele-
gram that he was operating in Uhip.
pwea Falls and Eau Claire as an ad-
vertising agent for The Telegram and
Daily Independent. He made very
cheap sale and it is thought that he
picked up some money in Eau Claire.
The Telegram stated that Mr.. Adver-
Using Solicitor visited the office and
asked the stenographer if she would
kindly write him out clean bill Of
health in the shape uf Recommended
Ulon but of course was refused. He
made his call at the office when every
one was out but the stenographer and
on his first visit he called when the
advertising and business manager
were absent.
When the Telegram became cogni-
zant of the actions of two men a rep
resentative of the company began an
investigation and located one man
who paid in advance for SPACE in the
mythical special edition. The Tele-
gram representative continued in his
investigation and finally located one
of the latter. who, after trying to
pass it off, paid back what he had re-
ceived from the party already referred
TO who had paid in advance.
The public therefore Is warned
against the operations of these fake
advertising solicitors.
