G, \. TRAIN
HELD UP
THREE MASKED MEN GO
THROUGH NO. 4 LAST NIGHT
RIFLE MAIL AND BAGGAGE
CARS.

Great Northern passenger train
No. 4 that passed through here last
night at Ais, was held up by three
masked bandits about a mile and
half east of Hillyard shortly before
midnight. The presence of mind of
the fireman prevented the express
car, which is supposed to have con-
tanned large sum Of money, includ-
ing a $4,000 shipment from Spo-
kane, from being robbed. When he
was ordered to dismount from his
cab and cut off the baggage, express
and mail cars from the other coaches
he cut two, but left the express car,
which was the last of the three cars
and thus saved the treasure
The train had been out of Hill
yard but few minutes when the en-
gineer and fireman were surprised
to see three men. two of them
masked, crawling down from the ten
der. With drawn revolvers they or
dered the engineer to stop the train
Immediately
He obeyed, and as soon as the train
came to stop, all dismounted from
the cab, the trainmen leading the
way, covered with the weapons of the
bandits.
The engineer was left standing
with two of the holdups while the
third accompanied the fireman back
part way while he was obeying the
orders to uncouple the cars. When
he had fooled the thugs by cutting
off two of the cars instead of three,
the three bandits boarded the engine
and started off down the track,
leaving the fireman and engineer
with the dead" train.
After proceeding about two miles

railroad men, judging from the man

ours easily. Gilbert is our closest
competitor, and his display looks fine

examination | am satisfied that fully

to be an imperfect apple in the whole
of Mr.. Horans display. They are as

Mr.. Holcomb stated that near the
main entrance there were two barrels
of New York apples on exhibit. They
were labeled New York Apples, but
Not Competing" They were small,
inferior apples and large portion OF
them wormy. A New Yorker in at

MEETING OF CITY COUNCIL.

A short meeting of the city council
was hell in the city hall Tuesday eve
ming. There was nothing of special
Importance transacted.
Representative of the citizens OF
Garden Home addition appeared be-
fore the council and petitioned for
city water It was ordered that city
mains be extended just as soon as
the residents of that section sign UP
for water.
1t was ordered that the city Jail be
rewired as the lighting is unsatisfac-
tory.
A new salary ordinance was intro
duced The object of this is to enable
the city council to raise or lower the
salaries of the city employees without
the necessity of having to pass an
ordinance every time the council de-
sire to make a change.

BIG CLEAN Up
FORMER LOCAL GRAIN BUYER
is TO THE GOOD ABOUT $4,000
AS A RESULT OF PAST BASE
BALL SEASON.

At meeting of the baseball mag
mates in Seattle Wednesday, it be-
came known that A. R. Dickson, for
merly grain buyer of Waterville
and we'll known here, had cleaned up
about $4,000 in Vancouver last year,
and it is understood that he has put
a price of $500 on his franchise and
players. A. G. Halstead, well known
club man Of Vancouver, has practical
ly closed with Dickson, and he at
tended the meeting Wednesday to
meet the magnates with whom he
will probably do business next year.
If the deal goes through Dickson will
clean up about $16,5OO for a years
work. Not so bad for a kid, just
out of the high grass of Waterville,

Dickson is now in the real estate
business at Vancouver and will make
that city his home. He intends to
give his whole attention to the real
estate business.

ports of apples have been small. The
apple export in 1902 amounted to o.
500. 900; in 1906, 5,S00,0O0, and in
1907, 100000. This is good
business and a good market, and we
want to keep it up. The apple in
dustry of the country was, in 1899,
5S,000,000 barrels and the export
was less than / per cent, so it shows
that we are not doing as much as we
might.
In one county in New York state
IA per cent of those engaged in the
orchard business receive an income
Of $25 or less per acre per annum.
IL per cent receive SIS to 500 as a
return for their efforts, 6 per cent re-
ceive from $175 to 5000 and a small
percentage as high as $500 an acre
return on the apple orchard. If they
can do that in New York state think
we will do a little better here. There
is no question about it,

in Berlin, or any place in Germany,

take better in Europe than oranges
do, and there is no reason why We

Naturally there has been more or
less doubt as to whether or not We

rest easier on this matter since a
number of visitors have returned
from Spokane and report that Wenat-

are in the fruit business, and their
confidence in the ability of Wenat-

the doubts of local citizens.
P. P. Holcomb said: 81 examined
both the exhibit of Mr.. Gilbert of
North Yakima and that of H. S. Sim

Mr.. Koran will carry off the big prize.
Mr.. Gilbert has a beautiful car OF

big prize we are going to get either.

FRISCO MAY Be ASSESSED
DELINQUENT PENALTY

Guthrie, Ok, Sept 19-According to an
opinion by Assistant Attorney General
Spillman, the Frisco railway company is
liable to pay penalty of IS per cent up
on the second half of its 1907 taxes in
Oklahoma from June Is last.
The Frisco paid the first half of its 1907
taxes December is last year. During the
latter part of June the road, through its
attorneys Flynn & Ames rendered the
second half of 1907 taxes to treasurers
of Lincoln and Grady counties, who re-
fuse to accept the payments on the
grounds that the taxes had become due
on June IS, and entered the taxes as de-
linquent with the penalty added.
Flynn & Ames took the position that
this action was unwaranted and that the
second half Of 1907 taxes did not become
delinquent until January. 1909. The at
torney generals Office reverses this posi-
ton and holds that where the first half Of
the personal taxes were paid December IS
of the year in which the levy was made,
the second half becomes delinquent June
is of the year following All railroad
property is classed as personal in Okla
homa.

AT TOWLE'S FRIDAY, MAY Is.
FOND MEMORIES of THE CIRCUS.

FOND MEMORIES of THE CIRCUS.
If you have forgotten the joyous
happiness of barefooted days and would
briefly live over again the ardor and
ecstacy that came with circus days, go
and see the remarkable moving pictures
of wild animals included in Lyman II.
Howe's new program at the Towle
opera house on Friday night, May Is.
The series includes not only strange
animals. seldom. if ever, seen with a
circus, but also remarkable portraits of
those so familiar with a circus that
without them it would not be a circus
The splendid view of elephants shown,
will revive fond memories of the long
ago when perhaps you carried water
for them. What thirst they had! How
you carried toll you could hardly walk
Yet how proud and happy you were as
you walked into the big tent holding
out a red ticket and read Admit One
You may recall the smell of the saw
dust. the thirst you had for the pink
lemonade, and the sweet dreams YOU
had that night after all was over Then
how you talked it over the next day
with the other boys. While Mr.. Howe's
new program may revive these mem
cries in you, another feature of it
will give you a ride on the front of
an automobile racing over curves and
gradients at the rate of eighty miles
an hour. Another picture-that of a
big city fire-abounds in much that is
dramatic Life in the French Navy"
Quaint Holland" Wild Birds at
Home" "A Hupt in the Arctic Regions"
and numerous other scenes of a purely
amusing nature make this one of the

HOLMES WON'T RESIGN

The representation was made in Gary
that Oliver Holmes, the present town
clerk, would resign his position as re-
publican committeeman on account of
the unpopularity of his action in sign
ing the saloon remonstrance.
Mr.. Holmes denies this and also dis
credits the statement in a Gary paper
that he had decided to resign as com
mitteeman for the reason that he did
not feel himself competent to hold the
office.
MIR. Holmes said in an interview this
morning: Il signed the remonstrance.
1 did 1t according to the dictates of my
conscience. 1t in no way affects me in
my official capacity either as commit
teeman or as town clerk. 1 do not
propose to resign from anything"
