"Since wheat has been planted on

"a fine rain fell yesterday which will
be great help in making good crops.
Seeding is commencing today and the

as it has this year and if anything can
be told from present indications, we
will have an even better crop than last
year.
THE acreage is large again this sea-

TRAGEDY At PORTLAND
WIFE OF SLAIN MAN ASSERTS HIS

PORTLAND, March 2.-Nathan H
Suiter, policeman, shot and killed
Herman Shaffer last night in the kitch-
en- Of Shaffer's home because Of an al
tercation due to the amount of noise
Shaffer's guests were making at a
birthday dinner which Shaffer was Civ
ing in his wife's honor ~
The policeman was summoned to the
clared that the birthday party was
causing too much noise. He stepped
into the house and requested that the
noise cease.
Most of the dozen guests and the host
and hostess are Germans and Rus
slams and could not clearly understand
the meaning of the visitor.
Suiter then left and returned to the
station for further orders and was told
by the captain to return to the house
and await assistance.
Upon Suffers return, the policeman
states, Shaffer grew angry and threat
ened to throw him out of the house.
Suiter then declared the entire party
under arrest. At this a dispute arose
which resulted in the shooting.
Suiter claims that Shaffer struck
him and he shot in self defense. Mrs
Shaffer and the guests assert that
Suiter shot without necessary provo
cation beyond a Wordy dispute.
Suiter shot and seriously wounded a
commercial traveller last November
while making an arrest.
An inquest will be held today.

YAKIMA WANTS TO WIN
THE SEATTLE MARKET
Robert Johnson Recommends Opening
Headquarters Where Valley Pro-
ducts Are Offered.

NORTH YAKIMA, March 2.-Robert
Johnson, orchardist, of F'ruitvale, is
agitating, after a visit to Seattle, for
the establishment in that city of head
quarters where Yakima fruits and
other products-and Yakima stuff only
can be procured. He contends that a
special market for high-gr fruit has
to be built up, and that Seattle is by
far the best market within reason
able distance.
Moreover, Johnson, who has been
marketing a lot of apples in Seattle,
found that the Wenatchee people have
a stand of their own in the market,
where their best products can be
bought and where the inquirer can OBJ
tain information about the district.
The proposition will receive the early
attention of the Commercial Club of
this city.
