Fine voices, it is said, are seldom

the most fish those Of Naples and
Genoa have few fine singers among
them. The sweet voices are found in
the Irish women OF the country, and
not Of the towns. Norway is not q

One day he padded his canoe up to
the bank where a party Of students
from the Sheffield Scientific school OF

sion Of New York politics and pub

learned some things about himself he

and, as the students were busy set

time, Mr.. Jerome Joined In the discus

When the talk drifted into New York

question solvers expressed the opinion
that II New York had a district attor-

Of these questions as a Yale sophomore

Mr.. Jerome was much Interested and
asked questions that led the criticism
of the district attorney into channels
that were extremely candid. After he
had absorbed all the advice on tap in
the camp as to the way his office
should be rum, Mr.. Jerome handed the
chief solver a card bearing the name,
"Mr. William Travers Jerome" He
thanked the campers profusely for the
information they had given to him

an urgent invitation to call on him In

"Come down and see me. boys" he
said. "and I'll show you the game at

The Walla Walla Union says of the
organization OF a county union of
the Farmers Educational and Co
operative union at Waitsburg this
week:
The different local orders of the
Farmers Educational and Co-opera-
tive union were organized into the
Walla Walla county organization at
a convention held yesterday in the
I. o. o. F. hall in Waitsburg, 81
delegates being in attendance The
meeting was called to order at 10
o'clock a. M, the number Of delegates
from the various locals responding to
the roll call as follows: Dixie three;
Walla Walla, eight; Eureka, two:
Prescott, three; Huntsville, three;
Longs. two; Alto, three and Waits
burg 10.
The officers of the county organ
ization elected and installed yesterday
are: President, N. B. Atkinson, of
Waitsburg: vice president, Joel
Woods, Waitsburg; secretary and
treasurer, Carl Taylor, Waltsburg;
conductor, D. C. Eaton; doorkeeper,
r. o. Sanders; organizer. w S. Can
tonwine; executive committee COM
posed of H. H. MCLEAN, w. r. Booth
and d. B. Stlmmell.
The next meeting of the county or
orr ~ ttsf1l hn hn1l In NVn1la
Walla on January IS, that It may be
held in conjunction with all farmers
in this vicinity to whom a general call
has been issued to assemble in Wal
la Walla on January IS. or Sack Day,
the day on which the sack question
will be thoroughly discussed, the
number of sacks needed by the farm
ers during the season determined and
bids opened on lots of 100000 and
more.
Supplanting as It does, the old
grange movement, the Farmers Ed
ucational and Cooperative union Is
increasing its membership through
out the United States with startling
rapidity, and bids fair to equal or
surpass the standard set by the or
ganization, 1t being asserted by them
that it will rapidly become the most
potential factor in American industry
and politics.
Its membership roll is daily in
creased by the addition of 1000 new
names. It is by far the most COM
prehensive movement ever organiz-
ed among the agriculturists, but its
membership is by no means limited
to farmers. The south has support
ed this movement, using it as an
agent to protect the cotton and to-
bacco interests.
Through its protective influences
the ranchers on the pains give II their
unstinted support for the stock in
dustry comes within its expansive en-
braces. The wheat farmers on the
Pacific coast, through its agency, are
making the strongest united effort
ever put forth for better shipping ia
fallties. better prices for their grain
and lower prices for their sacks.

FEE EXPLAINS JACKPOT"
Inslnuations Of the Portland Orego-
nlan Are Answered.

In a communication to the Portland
Oregonian, Mayor James A. Fee of
this city, corrects a grave error made
by that paper in asserting that east
ern oregon lawyers might be able to
define a Jackpot" Mayor Fee
says:
In a recent issue Of the Oregonian
the belief was expressed that might
be able to define a Jackpot"
AS the case is a bad one / shall do
my best, but fail to understand why
the Oregonlan deemed it necessary
to apply to a lawyer or come to east
ern oregon for information which IT
might have secured nearer home.
Had his been a political pot" it
would not have been necessary to call
upon eastern Oregon.
The lawyers of eastern Oregon, l
admit, possess special knowledge on
many subjects, but the Jackpot" is
not one of them. That knowledge, |
am informed, is confined to the news
paper fraternity and it has been in
tlmated Portland newspapers never
profess ignorance on any subject ex-
cept on one where they know more
than they care to disclose.
The only promoter of the Jack
pot" industry 1 have ever known in
this part Of the state was an editor
who lived at Echo. He was a good
advertiser and induced many repre-
sentative citizens Of Portland to visit
the sagebrush city where he enter
tanned them on the contents of the
Jackpot"
They invested literally In "jack-
pot" stock and returned home sadder
If not wiser men. BY making a
thorough search in some of Port
lands great vaults a few shares OF
this stock might be found 1t will
be known by the seal, a Jackpot"
The Echo editor built a corral
hired dogs, horses and small boys,
rounded up jackrabbits and stewed
them for market The pots in which
the cooking was done were called
"jackpots. But the business even
tually proved Improbable and It is
said that a man can no longer find
one Of these pots in Umatilla coun-

MILES OF FRUIT CARS.
Estimate made on Yakima Future
Yields.

IiNWSs
That the Yakima valley will in five
years produce sufficient freight from
its orchards to supply five transcon-
tinental railroads is the belief of e.
l.. Sewart, pres dent of the Washing
ton state Horticultural association,
which is to convene at Walla Walla
the closing days of this month. In
the Statesman of Walla Walla Mr..
Stewart is quoted as follows:
"If the North Yakima valley had
five transcontinental roads five years
hence the present service at that time
would not suffer from lack Of patron
age. The orchards of the valley have
young trees now growing which In
five years will bear an enormous
quantity of fruit. In fact, 1t is esti-
mated that the crop will yield $4,000
cars each year"
II Mr.. Stewart is correctly quoted
he anticipates wonderful growth in
the fruit business from this valley,
says the Yakima Republic.
In five years he expects to export
business in fruit to become 80 times
greater than 1t is now. Estimating
the business Of the valley this year at
1000 cars he expects that five years
hence the valley will produce 30 cars
at every point now producing one car
of fruit.
Estimating the fruit business of the
valley this year sufficient to make
a train Is miles in length, Mr.. Stew
art thinks that five years hence 1t
will make a train $50 miles long. A
string of loaded fruit cars reaching
from North Yakima to Seattle in one
direction and to Spokane in the other,
with a few odd miles left over for
waste and shrinkage going some.

by County Assessor and Collector L..

He could not answer. His face was

whole frame was shaking.

gasped. And at this Interrogation his
voice returned to him.
"What earthly difference does that

Then, without word of apology, he

a two-story dwelling the agents want
ed from $3.50 to 5000 month, and
from that up to $2.400 month for
those of more pretentious architect
ure 1t is true that these figures are
in Mexican money, which is just one
half the value of our own currency,
but even with, this allowance the
rents are far in excess of those
charged in the cities of the United

odd ways of looking at things. But
one day she got the surprise of her
life
In a storeroom back of the kitchen
she had put lot of discarded furni-
ture, including an old fas hioned wash
stand with broad marble top. She
had noticed that the cook, who an
swered readily to the name of Mary,
looked long ..gly at the marble slab.
The mistress decided to clear out
the storeroom and she sent for an old
furniture man to take most of the ac-
cumulated truck away. Mary there
upon spoke her mind.
"Wud yez mind, num-" she said, IF

why, what do you want with it?"
asked the mistress.
Sure, num-" said Mary "'twould
be after making a fine headstone for
me dead Danny-that's me husband,
mum, who died year ago"
Well, Mary got the marble slab and
she found a stone cutter friend of
Danny's who carved an appropriate
inscription rather cruIely, and the
novel stone was set up at the head of
Danny's grave.
All of which Is not fiction but truth.
