FRED PETERSON IN
REPLY TO RUM0RS

Fred Peterson, brother of Bert Peter
son, makes answer to rumor publish
ed in the Star, that Bert is involved in
financial troubles, mentioning the sum
of $4,000 belonging to Princess Ka-
wananakoa, as the item in question, as
follows:
81 know this is absolutely untrue. /
know that there is no $4,000 that he
could be short on. Bert IS friends know
him pretty well, and / am sure will
suspend Judgment, and will eventually
find out that he is absolutely straight
1t is an unkind thing for newspaper
to publish things based entirely on
rumors, especially where they have
gone and asked the attorney of the
Princess, Frank Thompson, and he re
plies that he don't know anything
about it, and would know if there was
anything wrong; and also when they in
terview r. w. Shingle, business agen
for the Princess, wherein he replies thai
so far as he knows there is nothing il
the story. 1t seems to me after running
rumor down like that they shoul,
have dropped the matter there. | be
lieve, in time, they will find that every
thing with Bert's affairs is straight. ,

HINDU SIKH BEATEN
BY REGULAR SOLDIERS

Two and possibly three men in the
khaki uniform of the United States
army set upon and mauled Hindu
Sikh named Singh near Heeia. The
brutal assault was committed on Mon
day night in the home of Singh, and
after maltreating the Hindu they stole
money from him and departed. The man
tramped across the Pail to town, arriv-
ing at the police station yesterday
forenoon. Owing to his injuries, one
of which was a broken nose, the police
sent him to the hospital for treatment.
AT the time the soldiers entered
Singh's house the occupant was asleep.
On waking up Singh confronted the
soldiers only to he Knocked down and
pummelled. He was kicked and thump
ed, his face lacerated and torn, and
when the men finished their fendish
treatment he was covered with blood
They went through his clothes and took
what little money he had.
Singh says the men were soldiers
owing to the uniform worn. There is Q
company of soldiers from Fort Shaftel

BRUTALITY MADE
HER RAv|NG MANIAC

law Vasconcelles, last week, and was
taken to the Queens Hospital with a
broken jaw and other injuries was
sent to the police station Monday
night, because of her rawlings, and yes
terday she was sent to the Asylum.
The woman was somewhat unbalanced
before the assault. Latterly,\ she be-
came violent, and the hospital author
ties were compelled to turn her over
to the police for her personal safety
and for the benefit of patients at the
hospital, who required quiet, At the
station the woman screamed, and dur
ing court yesterday morning, her cries
almost interrupted the court procedure.
She was examined by the police sur
geon, DIR. Emerson, and adjudged in.
sane by the magistrate in the after
noon. The woman Is case is pitiful, and
the brutality of her son,in.law un.
doubtedly made her maniac. Her
broken jaw has not yet healed.

The Riverside Argus predicts that

sections of the United States, Canada

A NARROW VIEW.

J. L. Dumas, prominent .fruitgrower
OF Dayton, who, according to his own
statements cleaned up $4,000 off his
50-acre apple orchard last year, deliv-
cred an address before the fruitgrowers'
convention yesterday in which he took
occasion to roundly score the news
papers for carrying in their columns
each year stolres regarding the outlook
for bumper fruit crops. Mr.. Dumas
took the position that such news is
detrimental to the fruitgrower in that
it gives the commission houses and
middlemen an opportunity to bear fruit
quotations to the lowest possible fig
ure. We give Mr.. Dumas credit for
being a very able businessman and an
all-round fine fellow but we must say
that he has taken a very selfish posi-
ton in the matter.
If the newspapers We're to carry out
Mr.. Dumas inferred views they would
publish day after day. pessimistic arti-
cles regarding the crop outlook Every
little zephyr that sweeps across the
Blue Mountains would carry a tale or
destruction to the fruit crop. Every
little freeze Or unusual weather cOn(li-
ton would be hailed as a pubic ca
lamity. The country should b. pictured
as going to the eternal bow vows"
and going in short order. In fact every
means possible should be taken by the
newspapers to give the crop outlook
black eye, and for what purpose?
That an impression might gain cur
rency in the markets of the world that
there is a practical failure of the crops
and that Mr. Dumas, with another
year like last might be able to clean
up $4,000 and retire. No thought is
given TO the thousands Of people who
are being attracted TO the west eacn
year by the glowing tales of fortunes
being made in agricultural pursuits,
people who are being attracted solely
through the medium of the newspapers
of which Mr.. Dumas finds so much
complaint. These people should be
furnished with tales of crop failures
that they nigh prepare themselves to
pay fancy price for our fruit 1t mat
tiers not if these blackened tales put a
stop to westward travel or that the
development of the northwest is cur
tailed so long as an Individual is able
to make fortune within few years
We trust that Mr.. Dumas, after sober
reflection, will recognize the selfisnness
of his position and give the newspapers
credit at least for working for the de-
velopment of our home country, which
We are sorry to say, seems to- be more
than Mr.. Dumas is doing, if We are
10 take his views expressed TO the hor-
uculturists yesterday as an indication.

"EverIasting Devils Auction"

Manager Charles H. Yale says the
Devils Auction" is the best paying
piece of theatrical property in America.
and gives the following reasons to
substantiate the claim:
First-It has been on the road con-
tinuously for 25 seasons.
Second-It has always pleased it's
many thousands of patrons through
out the country
Third-It has always beer kept up to
the times with novelties and innova-
tons. making it each season new
performance simply retaining the old
name as a trademark
Fourth-It has never presented any
thing to Offend and caters to the ladies
and children.
Fifth-The going public are
always sure of enjoying a pleasant
evenings entertainment and seeing
what the management advertises.
The one reason why everybody
should see it this year is that the
twenty-sixth edition Of the "Devirs
Auction is new in its entirety.

special correspondents. The water
users association sends out circular
giving facts and figures about the
country. That does not supply all the
details. The people looking for new To-
Ications want to learn all they can
concerning the environment. They de-
sire TO know something of their pros
nectiye neighbors and the form of local
government that obtains. And they
will get at the truth in every case.
The local newspaper is one of the
best circulars of information that can
be mailed to parties asking about the
country. 1t gives the good and bad
features of the locality better than any
person can write in a descriptive let
ter. There are stories of success or
failure in the news items and adver-
Using columns. The press work of the
paper, the folding and mailing macil-
tiles. and even the distribution of the
ink, tell tales that many home read
ers would not detect. There is volume
of information to the prospective
home builder in the legal notices, the
school reports ana church announce
ments The timetables of the boats,
railroads and stage lines present object
lessons Nothing is overlooked in the
columns of the newspaper.
Every community is judged from
afar by the character of its citizens.
There are scores of details that go to
make up the good and bad features Of
locality. To be in a proper position
TO invite new residents, the people
must be active energetic and indus
trious. There must be indications of
peace, plenty and prosperity. The hand
OF welcome must be extended in a
manner that the stranger may know
that he is not treading on forbidden
ground

ley. who visited in North Yakima a

cause of the fright OF foreigners who

flight of the workmen because the
