Paso Robles, CAL, March 19.-Sam-
uel G. Cosgrove, governor of the state
of Washington, died here suddenly at
8 80 o'clock yesterday morning.
Heart failure was the immediate
cause of the governors death. AL
though his condition had recently been
reported as improving, the governor
had really been growing worse, and two
days ago he took to his room. Although
conscious of his weakened condition,
death was sudden and there was no OPP
portunity for last farewell between
husband and wife.
Bright's disease had marked Govern
or Cosgrove for a victim over eight
months ago. He broke down in health
during the Washington primary cam
paign, retiring to his home at Pomeroy,
Wash, in September, and was brought
to Paso Robes hot springs shortly after
the election in November. Although
Governor Cosgrove improved slightly
under the treatment here, the strain OF
the trip to Olympia to take the inaug-
ural oath was too great and an immedi-
ate reaction set in
Mrs. Ccsgrove, worn out from hei
months of constant attendance upor
her feeble husband, was overcome by
Their grief, but late in the afternoon
had recovered her poise sufficiently t.
make the preliminary arrangements fol
starting home with the body. 1t has
been decided that Mrs. Cosgrove, &C
companied by Mr.. and Mrs. ]. M. An
derson, of Seattle, friends of the Cos
groves, will leave Paso Robes THU
morning at $40 on the north bounC
train for San Francisco. If that traiI
is on time the funeral party will b
able to connect with the Portland ex
press leaving Oakland this afternoon.
This will bring them into Portland
late Tuesday night and hurried tril
will be made to Olympia, the capita
of Washington. 1t is the desire o
Mrs. Cosgrove to have services held a
the capitol and later the remains will
be removed to the family home a

FAIR BRINGS THOUSANDS

People From East Coming to North
west Seeking Opportunities
Right now the Alaska Yukon-Pacific
exposition is the magnet that is at
tracing thousands of people from East
ern, Southern and Middle Western
states to the Pacific coast partly for
the reason that the exposition will open
up a new line of thought with its great
displays from Alaska, Hawaii and the
Philippines as we'll as the Orient, and
partly because of the much advertised
scenic beauties of the states bordering
on the Pacific.
The state of Washington and more
particularly the Puget sound country
will soon be the mecca for trainloads
of strangers. But Washington will
not hold the visitors for an indefinite
period for they have something in mind
further than visit to the exposition
at Seattle.
There are opportunities on the Pacific
coast for the homeseeker as well as
the merchant and manufacturer and the
visitors to the fair intend to see just
what Oregon, Idaho, Colorado, Utah,
Wyoming, Nevada, Oklahoma, as well
as British Columbia have to offer in the
way of inducements to settlers. OF
course the tourists will be here in large
numbers and their itinerary nearly al
ways includes all the mountain, lake
and seaside resorts of the Northwest.
The opposition itself is going to open
the eyes of the thousands of visitors
who will come Seattle expecting to
find an exhibition very similar to what
has been offered before. The Alaska
Yukon-Pacific exposition is not going
to be remembered after its gates close
because of its great size or by the num-
Der of its buildings, but because of the
beautiful picture formed by the work
of the builder and landscape artist,
framed in by lakes, mountains anc
woodland scenery distributed lavishly
on every hand by nature. When the
exposition opens on June l the show
will be complete in every detail, an ex
ample of Western spirit and enterprise

The effect OF meat rations was tested
at the West Virginia Experiment sta
ton, where one pen OF fowls received a
ration largely OF corn and another
starchy grains, while another pen was
fed partly on meat and fresh bone.
The meat-fed fowls laid 1855 eggs.
while the granted birds laid 3,431. or
less than one-haif as many as those
receiving the heterogeneous ration. The

indictments for smuggIing.

Ell Paso, March 29.-Under indict-

jury at Chicago, charging conspiracy
to smuggle aliens into the United
States, seven arrests were made today
by deputy marshals at widely separat-
ed points. Four men were jailed here,
one at Alamo Gordo, N. NJ, and two
at Chicago. 1t is alleged the men ar
rested are members of an organized
gang, operating from the border to
Chicago for smuggling Chinese.

a quantity of the soil and vegetable. In
construction the digger resembles
miniature wheelbarrow, the receptacle
forming the body being made Of sheet
metal containing innumerable perfora-
lions. At the front or small end of
the receptacle is a swinging door, be-
meath which is a small shovel. In op-
Grafton the digger is used as a shovel
in lifting the vegetable and the sur
rounding soil. The digger is then
shaken, separating the vegetable from
the soil, and allowing the latter to pass
out through the perforations.

.PALAMA GHOST
ONLY A BULL

Last night about half past eight the
telephone bell at the police station be-
gan to tinkIe merrily. The night clerk
answered and heard something like
this: "That police stations Oh, mis-
ter, I think you better come pretty
quick out here, Palama, big black
ghost, got some fire in eyes, awful big
black thing, he IS running up lane here
chased my sister, all fire all over come

After some questioning of the excited
lady at the other end of the wire, the
clerk discovered that the big ghost had
been seen near Middle and Rose streets.
He did his best to quiet the excited
one and promised to send assistance,
then he hung up.
Again the bell tinkled The clerk
answered. "Hey, that police station
Well, I think you better send out here.

back to the precincts of its corral.

WHEN SCHOLARS
LEARN TO FLY

PARIS, November 13.-The recent
airship contests near Paris and the
later ones at Doncaster, in England,
have served to greatly increase public
interest in the subject of aerial navi-
CATION. AS the result of this, many
newspapers are now publishing adver-
tisements of schools Of aviation where
instruction in the management of air
ships is given by competent instruct
ors. New and second hand aeroplanes
are also extensively advertised. 1t
seems safe to predict. therefore. that
in the course of few years. when the
speed and safety of airships have been
more assured, that aviation will take
the place of automobiling as a popu-
lar means of travel.
Several interesting works on aerial
navigation have just appeared, the
most important of which is by Al
phonse Berget and is entitled "The
Conquest of the Air The author
discusses almost every phase of aerial
navigation and its possible future
In the course Of this book Mr.. Ber-

tains itself by great speed, it would
not have sufficient supporting surface
to keep soaring without the motor
Perhaps for this reason aeropIane lin
ers win be reserved even for trans
atlantic passages. as the hull with
which they must necessarily be
equipped will render landing less dan
gerous upon the water. Transatlantic
journeys would then be made at speeds
exceeding two hundred kilometers per
hour; that is TO say, one would travel
from Europe to the United States in
a single day!''
