May Finish Wapato Project.

North Yakima-C. E. Robin,
former lease clerk on the Yakima
Indian reservation, is canvassing
among the tribe on the reservation
with the object in view which may
result in the government going
ahead with the Wapato reclamation
project. 1t will be Mr.. Robins
business to induce the Indians to sell
a portion of their lands to help de-
fray the cost of irrigating the re-
naming portions of their allotments.
AS had been supposed none of the
lands affected by the Wapato project
are tribal lands. The 1870 acres which
are in question are all allotted lands.
This acreage is estimated to be more
than all the acreage in the Yakima
Valley which is at present under
ditch and being cultivated.

ROOT CASE MAY YET FAIL
Loophole Found i'm Motion to Start
Debarment Action.

Aberdeen-After a business meet
ing the State Bar Association spent
Saturday in an outing at the beach.
1t was feared that an effort was to
be made to reopen the case against
Judge NJ. J. Gordon, under indict-
ment for embezzlement, in whose be-
half the association suspended ac-
ton until the conclusion of his trial
on that charge.
A resolution inviting Judge Rob-
inson, of Olympia, to file charges
against the state supreme court was
the big surprise of the meeting.
Judge RobinSC refuses to say what
he will do, but the way is opened for
a renewal of the judicial scandals.
Insistence on the disbarment of
ex-Supreme Judge Milo A. Root, of
Seattle, is probable, although it has
been discovered that the resolution
calling for the institution of such
proceedings leaves a big loophole
should there be a desire to shield
him.

WILL SCHIVELY STEP OUT?
Impression Gaining Ground That He
VIII Resign Office.

Spokane-"We have our case
against Insurance Commissioner Jas.
Schively all prepared and will be
ready to proceed with the impeach-
ment as soon as the legislature re-
convenes," said Representative
Edge, one of the committee appoint
ed by the house to conduct the i'm
parchment trial before the senate.
Mr.. Edge predicts that the trial
should not take more than two
weeks, and estimates that the cost
will not exceed $4,000.
1t is reported that Commissioners
Schively and his attorneys appear to
be taking but little interest in get
ting ready for the trial, leading to
the belief that he may be planning
to resign the Office instead of fight
ing to retain 1t.

Assessed Valuation of Chelan County

The county assessor has completed
his work and has summed up the total
assessed valuation of the property in
Chelan county, real and personal.
The total for the year 1909 is ST.
AL, 1921. The total for last year was
81, 100000, gain this year of $685.
821. These totals do not include the
railways and Western Union Telegraph
Company, which are assessed by the
state board OF tax commissioners. 1t
is likely these will not be reported to
Assessor Osborn until later
1t is to be noted the items turned
in to the assessor include deposits of
money in banks amounting to about
81, 100000, are reported at $4,000.

CONSERVING THE LANDMARKS
An Important Meeting to be Held in Seattle
to Which All Are Invited

The First National Conservation
Congress of the United States which
will be held in the Auditorium OF the
A.-Y.-P. exposition, under the direction
of the Washington Conservation Asso-
citation, will mark the beginning OF
new era in history making. That
Congress will occupy the attention OF
several thousand men for three days,
the dates being set for August 20, 81
and %. During that time eight ses-
sions will be held, and ninth one will
be called on the Sunday following, by
the church people in attendance. The
Congress promises to be the largest
convention of eminent men ever assem-
bled on the Pacific Coast.
1t is the plan of the conservationists
to protect the works of nature and
deliver them into the hands OF coming
generations without material deteriora-
ton because of use throughout any
generation.
President William H. Taft; Hon. R.
A. Ballinger, Secretary of the Interior;
Clifford Pinchot, Chief Forester; 1t.
Rev. J. B. Funston, Bishop of Idaho;
Ri. Rev. Robert L. Paddock, Bishop
of Oregon; Rt Rev. Lemuel H. Wells,
of Trinity college, and many governors,
members of conservation commissions,
mayors of cities, and representatives OF
commercial and civic organizations
have been invited to participate in the
work of the First National Conservation
Congress.
1t is necessary that campaign OF
education be carried on through the
medium of conservation organizations,
to devise ways and means for reforest-
ing the logged-of lands not suitable
for agricultural or horticultural pur-
poses, in order that there may be an
abundance OF water and timber for
future years. This applies with equal
force to the conservation Of soil and its
elements OF fertility, and to all other
gifts of nature intended to benefit the
human family.
The inhabitants of Washington have
much to conserve. The land is rich
in resources. There are mountains Of
beauty and valleys of plenty. There
are are rivers of wealth and islands OF
happiness. Nature has lavished her
gifts in great profusion throughout the
State of Washington. 1t is the duty
of the men of the hour to conserve those
gifts and secure the best possible
results from their utilization.

De Wolfe Determined to Fight.

Tacoma-Attorney IL. n. De
Wolfe of Tacoma, against whom the
State Bar Association has decided to
bring disbarment proceedings be-
cause of his charges that the entire
state supreme court, with the eXcep-
ton of Judge Emmett n. Parker, re-
Gently appointed, is grossly corrupt,
declares that he does not fear the
outcome of the action, but that II
necessary he will carry the case even
to the supreme court of the United
States.

How Much a Man is Like Old Shoes

For instance, both sole may lose
Both have been tanned, both are made
tight
BY cobblers both get left and right.
Both need mate to be complete,
And both were made to 20 on feet.
With shoes, the last is first; with man
The first shall be last and when the shoes
wear out
They're mended new;
When men wear out, they're men dead,
too.
They both need heeling, oft are sold,
And both i'm time turn all to mold.
They both are trod upon, and both
VIII tread on others, nothing loath.
Both have their ties, and both incline,
When polished, in the world to shine.
They both peg out, and would you choose
TO be man or be his shoes?

Smoke Law Is Raped.

Bellingham-It Is unlawful to
smoke cigarettes or to have the same
in your possession, according to a
ruling by Superior Judge Hardin.
The court holds that there is no law
against smoking cigarettes and that
it is against the constitution of the
United States and the state of Wash
ington to prohibit any person from
holding property, and a cigarette Is
property, according to the view of
the court.
