RAILROADS IN WASHINGTON.

The fact that Washington leads al
the other states in the matter of ran.
road mileage now in course of con
struction, as pointed out by the Rail-
way Age. gives eloquent emphasis TO
the progressive movements now I'M
dedr way in this state.
The statement in the Asa shows
that 1873 miles of railrc't are now
being built in this state. a . !hat as
miles of railroad have becu surveyed
and projected The showing nus
made for Washington is exceptional.
When it is remembered that only
four states were ahead of Washing
ton in the number of miles of rail
road constructed III 1907. namely,
Louisiana. South Dakota, Texas and
Florida the present record becomes
one of supreme encouragement, for
it suggests a forward movement Of
profound meaning. from the stand

ties in this state and section. Of
course, the Railway Age did not take
into account all the energies now evil

ton. if it had done so, Washington's
lead over the other states wonld have
been much more pronounced.
The fact is that in the Puget sound
section alone colossal movements. are
under way, and big transcontnental
system are engaged in a Titantic
struggle with each other to reap a
fair share OF the enormous business
which in a few years Will flow

section. may be said to be still in its
infancy SO far as Washington is con-
cerned.

the tennis racquet was missing. His
clothing and baggage were dry. The
next day he went on an excursion
with the young women from Cort-
land whom he had promised to meet.
Alarm was felt in Big Moose over
the failure of Gillette to return with
the boat he had rented, and search
was made the next day. The boat
was found floating bottom up near
the shore In secluded part of the
lake. with woman's wrap spread
over the bottom. The lake . was
dragged and the body Of Grace
Brown was found about 800 feet
from the shore. Gillette was subse-
quently arrested at Eagle Bay on
July H.
The trial began at Herkimer at a
special term of the supreme court on
November IL, 1906, and on Deem
Der $ Gillette was found guilty of
| murder in the first degree and sem
fenced to death. The prosecution
| presented chain of evidence which
the defense was unable to break
, down. Gillette, who testified, de-
MED none of the evidence except the
actual killing of the girl He said
she had urged him to marry her. but
that he was not in a position to do
so at that time, as he had but soant
means and his marriage would mean
the loss of his position in the factory.
He said the girl arose in the boat, de-
claring that she would end the mat
ter then and there. and leaped over
board. The boat was overturned, he
claimed, and although he made eff
forts to save the girl from drowning,
he was unable to do so. The evidence
showed that the water was but a
few feet deep. Upon his failure to
rescue the girl he said he had waded
ashore. He explained the condition
of his baggage by saying that he had
left it on the bank where they had
partaken of some slight luncheon.
The tennis racquet. with which the
prosecution claimed he dealt the
girls death blow, was found hidden
in the woods after weeks of searcn.
The execution of the death penalty
was stayed by an appeal to the court
OF appeals OH January 10. 1907. and
on January last the case was ar
gued. The court affirmed the judg-
ment of conviction and fixed the
week beginning March 80 for carry
ing out the death sentence.
Gillettes mother visited Albany
and pleaded with Governor Hughes
to commute the death sentence to
life Imprisonment. but the governor
declined to interfere.

LABOR TROUBLE.
Feared That Wholesale Labor War
Will Develop Between Whites
and Orientals.

WAPATO. Wash. March 25.--
Looming large above all other ques-
lions in the Yakima valley is that of
Oriental labor The destruction OF
the orchard of William Holt in this
vicinity has caused thoughtful men
to look ahead and wonder how the
labor problem will be solved in the
next half dozen or 10 years.
The orchard of Mr.. Holt was Wis
tied recently by a band of vanda.s
and about / 80 fruit trees were pulled
out by the roots. The perpetrators
did not confine themselves to .one
particular part of the orchard. but
their depredations extended all
through it. Some of the trees were
two years old and would soon begin
bearing Mr. Holt has announced
that he will dispose of his interests
here and not return. However, bust
ness men are trying to tell him that
those guilty of the destruction of his
orchard do not represent the views
Of the citizens of this vicinity. He
may change his mind.
A sign was posted in Mr. Hollis
orchard notifying him that if he con-
tinued to employ Japanese labor his
orchards would continue to be made
the subject of attack. This brings up
the large question of labor, for Nj
Holt declares he had tried to employ
white labor. but had not be0n able to
get men to do the work Those he
employed, he said. did not stay with
him. In the end he employed several
Japanese.
Orchardists in the Yakima valley
are looking forward to the time when
the fruit output will have increased
I 0 fold. Hundreds of acres are being
set to fruit each year, and if the
labor problem is hard one now, it
must develop into something serious
within the next 10 years.
The feature that makes the labor
problem a hard one is the character
of the work to be performed 1t is
one that demands an immense am
cunt of cheap labor for only a small
proportion of the year. 1t is one that
can be solved by the assistance of
women and children They can pick
fptti
but it is claimed that it will be diff
cult to get even enough families to
pick the fruits.
Thoughtful men have come to the
conclusion that the only solution of
the labor problem is the employment
of cheap Oriental labor. This is
bound to meet the determined oppo-
sition OF the labor unions of this val
ley and the entire state. However,
1t Is claimed that this is the only So
luton, and that the next few years
will see the employment of Orien-
tai labor on a vast scale. Then will
come the clash between the orchard
lists and the laboring men, and the
valley seems likely to become the
battle ground on which the problem
will be fought out
There is socialistic band in this
town, and some persons are inclined
to think they may have had some
thing to do with the destruction OF
the Holt orchard. as they are con-
stantly preaching against japanese
labor. However. they have not been
found to have been connected with
