SUIT OVER HORSE
IOWA BANKERS MAKE
CLAIM AGAINST RANChfRS
Purchased Blooded Animal from
Eastern Firm and Dispute
Over Note.

Instead of signing a note for $500
which men in the Ahtanum valley
gave in payment for a fine stallion,
j. j. Wiley, a rancher in that section,
paid 500 on the paper and he has
thus avoided a litigation in which e.
c. Hardison, H. E. Crosno and W. NJ.
Ryan have become involved through
suit entered by an Iowa bank for the
payment of the remainder of the
note.
The Ahtanum men purchased the
horse from w. A. Lang & Company,
Hardison to own two-fifths interest
in the animal and each of the others
to own one-fifth. Attempts were
made to secure restraining order TO
keep the note in the state of Wash
ington. when Crosno found that Wiley
had not signed the note and had thus
avoided being held liable in case any
of the others did not pay the amount
due But the note had been sent out
of the state by Agent Hardison of W.
A. Lang & Co. and was sold to the
State Savings bank, corporation in
an Iowa town.
Crosno is one of the wealthy ranch
ers in the Ahtanum. and the fact that
his name appears on the note makes
1t an excellent piece of negotiable
paper, but he will contest the suit on
the ground that he understood that
Wiley was 20 sign and signed with
that under landing.
Gull, Luse & Davis filed papers in
the suit on behalf of the Iowa men
Tuesday.

HIGHER EDUCATION FOR WOMEN
IN CHINA,

ut is the sense of this meeting that
girls should not be taught the last
part of the arithmetic" Such is the
record to be found in the minutes oil
meeting of a SCHOOL committee in IA
certain New England town as late as
the middle of the last century. What
an advance since then, both in pub
lie sentiment and in the provision
made for the education of girls, in
the United States. But progress here
is a snail's pace compared with China
during the same period. Because
there, for centuries, female children
have not been considered even worth
counting. Ask a man how many chill
dren he has and he will tell you only
the number of his boys. /. AS for edu-
eating girls-why, one might as well
try to teach the pigs! The influence
of the mission schools, however, has
wrought radical change. The quail
ity of womanhood developed in them
has been an object lesson which the
Chinese could not resist. Consequent
! ly the government has recently given
orders that primary schools shall be
established everywhere throughout
the empire. and normal schools in
certain important centers. Foreign
as we'll as native teachers are en-
p,oyed Some of the regulations are
rather novel. For instance pupils
are forbidden to wear silks, satin, or
1 jewelry, or TO use cosmetics. A sim
pie dress is made obligatory. Evil
IDENTITY vanity is to be nipped in the
bud with the new generation of Chi
nese girls The imperial regulations
also provide for physical culture in
the shape of gymnasium and ever
else grounds. The "crue and injuri-
Gus to body" practice of footbinding
/ is prohibited. Some of these schools
are endowed by the wives and daught-
ers of old-time conservative princes.
Such are the fruits of patient seed
sowing by the early missionaries.
Amid bitter opposition they began By
opening day schools for little girls
and kept steadily on till Christian coll
leges for women became an accom-
plished fact One of the oldest ami
best of these is the Girls College at
Foochow. which was started by the
American board. the agency of the
Congregational churches, as as small
day school, For many years great
difficult was experienced in securing
pupils Now its graduates are in de-
mand to fill positions as teachers in
schools of every grade from the kim
dergarten upward, as nurses in hos
pitfalls, and above all as wives of
Christian men in the homes. Efforts
have been made in a few cases to
meet this demand by sending picked
girls to America to be educated. But
the ideal training is an education in
her own land. Excellent as the new
government schools may be in some
respects they are weak in that up
building of character which has made
the educational work of the American
board. and other missionary socie-
ties, such a powerful influence for
good AS one of their own men who
holds an influential position said not
long ago, The thing we need most,
just now, is Christianity. The
Christian religion is the only hope
and salvation of China

would approve, but he wove that
something into his work which other
men try in vain to emulate. And
the question in the magazine is an
swered by the simple statement that
no man can interpret Shakespeare
and give to an audience exactly the
thought that was in the soul of the
genius who wrote the play, except he
has kindred genius and can not
only sound the depths of Shake
speare, but by voice and by act give
it full expression.

the company has refused to pay him

Weeks says the company refuses 10

Mr.. Jones discussed the failure &C
the government to take up the Pa
louise irrigation project and, incident
ally, charges made by Ankeny's sup
porters that Jones had profited by the
decision to take up the Tieton ditch.
Mr.. Jones declared that at the time
the Tieton project was undertaken,
and until 1907. he did not own foot
of land affected by the Tieton ditch
or its canals. In 1907 he admitted
buying the tremendous area of 20
acres for the ridiculous sum of 5000
an acre" amidst the laughter of the
audience.
Senator Ankeny got into some
trouble short time ago about an al

have heard continued Mr.. Jones.
Then, to get out of it, they said
Jones also made an agreement, or at
least Jones' friends made an agree

ACTORS AND GENIUS :.

A writer in a current magazine
asks if it is necessary for an actor o.
actress to have genius. 1t certainly
is if they are going to be perfect in
their profession. X great many VITA

tress plays the part Of Juliet, and If
they are beautiful women and know
the part they get along we'll enough,
but the ira pre- sion they leave is that
OF an American or an English Julier,
of a woman perhaps % years old,
very beautiful, with many accom-
plishments. and the play runs its
length and is interesting. But when
Modjeska first came to this country
she spoke most imperfect English,
she was not beautiful, and she was
then, if we remember correctly,
about 80 years old. She essayed
that part and it will be remembered
that in Shakespeare Juliet was but
IA years old. howbeit the girls of
southern Europe mature more swift
" than they do in colder ATTITUDES.
Well. Modjeska attended the party
and there she was an Indifferent.
careless, don't-care-a-cent kind of 4
girl. When one cavalier crossed the
stage with the utmost Indifference
she asked who it was Then a seq
ond one passed and the same ques-
ton in the same Indifferent way, but
when Romeo crossed the stage there
was just one accent and one gesture
added to the former question. The
woman was at once transformed, and
those who we're looking on and listen
ing caught glimpses of a genius such
as most women can never compro-
mend. much less possess.
that was the wonderful faculty of
ne elder Booth and of Edwin Booth.
Indeed. there is no place that genius
develops itself so splendidly as in an
actor, and while a great many who
are not geniuses pass their lives on
the stage. there is, once in awhile,
one that simply by the infection he
gives his voice orAby gesture, or
even by his walk, shows at glance
that he is looking down on all the

are the audience.
Adelaide Nelson was a BARNARD
when she was young. but an angel
pressed its signet on her brow while
she was yet baby in the cradle
which made men as long as she lived
her slaves.
As a rule. what passes for genius
in all the walks of life is only the
perfection of hard study and hard
work. but any man who ever read
Homer's Had knew that he who
wrote it. whoever he was. wrote it
because he had to; it was in his soul.

Increase of $7,73S,71O

To Assessor Sindal the increase
does not come as surprise, as it has
been seen since the assessment was
started that Yakima county was
worth considerable more this year
than ever before. The land values
had not been adjusted for four years
and to some extent this fact accounts
for part of the change.
Timber cruising also added small
amount to the assessable value. In
previous years rough estimates had
been made. The following is a COM
