Taking man without means what
lever he can easily secure work at good
wages. With the saving of these wag-
es for one or at most two years he can
operate a rented farm, and after that
it is only question of choice with
him when he shall become his own
landlord. There are numerous instanc-
es here of men making a net profit on
one years crops sufficient large to pay
for the farm on which they were
made; and what one man has done
another can also do if he applies the
same industry and intelligent plan
ming.
This being true it may be asked why
it is that not all our young men take
to farming, or why it is that many who
do farm do not progress so we'll? The
principal reason is that young men in
the cities do not appreciate the adyant-
ages offered by the farm, and that
farmers are too much devoted to cot
ton growing and very often devote
themselves to this to the almost total
exclusion of everything else. The CON
sequence is that they are always in
debt, and with this worry and the pay
ing of interest they find it a hard mat
ter to make both ends meet at the end
of the year.

.P|ETR|CH BRANDED
AS BLACK CRIMINAL
GRAVE MISTAKE IN SAVING MAN
FROM GALLONS SAYS
cEPUTY SHERIFF.
Declares He Stood in Few Feet When
Prisoner Committed Cold
BIooded Murder.

Branding Mich Pietrich, who is now
serving life sentence in the penitenti-
airy here, as one of the blacklist GRIM
inals ever apprehended in the state,
Deputy F. A. Guibor of King county
who was in North Yakima yesterday
says that Governor Hay ds made d
great mistake in saving the Servlan
from the gallows.
Mr.. Guibor has taken a great deal
of interest in the Pietrich case as he
was by the side of Harry Miller, mar
shall of Kent, when he was shot down
by the foreigner.
It will be remembered that Pietrich,
Bogawitch and Alligawitch. three Ser
VANS. held up a farmer named O'Brien
near Kent some months back and that
they were met soon afterwards by Of
ficers Miller and Guibor soon after
they had committed the first offence.
Miller and Guibor attempted to put
the five men under arrest but the
Servians were we'll armed and made
a desperate fight for liberty.
Officer Miller was killed and the
desperadoes made their escape to the
woods. Later a posse was organized
a reward offered for the capture OF
Peitrich and a man hunt begun. The
three Servians named above were
caught. BogaWitch and Alligawftch
were given prison sentences and Peit
rich was sentenced to hang. Through
the work of friends, the latter has
succeeded in having his sentence
changed to life Imprisonment.
when Governor Hay committed the
death sentence imposed upon Mich
Pietrich for the murder of Marshal
Miller, he made one of the creates
mistakes possible for him to make, .
said Deputy Guibor.
Il stood not over three feet from
Miller when the Servian filed his body
full of lead. Miller had already been
shot in the pistol arm and seriously
wounded He dropped to his knees and
begged Pietrich not to shoot. But the
william fired and one of the best eff
GERS that ever served, fell dead.
Can they tell me that was ignor-
ance of the law? Was the Servian so
ignorant of American ways and Gus
toms that he was justified in shooting
lone farmer and then shooting the
officer who attempted to arrest him.
"a clever newspaper writer stirred
Up sympathy for the condemned man
and this. together with the untiring
efforts Of his attorneys, resulted in his
being freed from the gallows. If ever
a man deserved hanging, that man
Peitrich is one. He confessed to hav-
ing killed six men in the old country,
and he told Mat Starwich, another
deputy sheriff of King county. that he
had been laying for him for many
months and that he was very disap-
pointed because he had been locked
up before he had an opportunity to
take a crack at him"

EXTENSIVE JUNIOR ANNUAL

proof has been read on three forms,

larger number of Photographic cuts
than in any former book Of the kind.

Walla Walla, the Washington Printing
and Book Manufacturing company
having charge of the making up and
printing of the volume. This is the
first Annual" to have the distinction
OF being almost entirely home product,

craving is being done in Spokane, but
the greater part of the work is being
done by the Electric City Engraving

GOVERNOR HANDS
PARDON TO HO[DUP
CONDITIONAL RELEASE GRANT :
ED TO HENRY THOMPSON
OF SPOKANE.
Case Was Pathetic One-Man's Con
duct First Glass Up to the Time
of Robbery.

Governor NJ E. Hay has issued a
conditional pardon to Henry Thomp-
son, the Troy laundry driver Of Spo-
kane, who held up and robbed George
G. Hewitt in the Falls City, Novem-
Der 90, 1868, and was sentenced from
five to 20 years in the state peniten-
tiary.
Attorney John E Blair has been
successful in securing the pardon for
the man on the condition that Thomp-
son gives monthly accounts of his con-
duct until, in the estimation of the
governor, he proves himself worthy
of an unconditional pardon.
Attorney Blair appeared before Gov
enor Hay on Wednesday in behalf of
Thompson, and went over his case
with the governor and Warden Reed
Of the state penitentiary. Governor
Hay was favorably impressed with
Thonipson's petition, and referred the
matter to his assistant attorney gen.
eral. George A. Lee, who reported 1t
meritoriouS. Thompson was then
given his release by the governor.
Thompson's case is a pathetic one,
as nothing criminal can be found in
the life of the man previous to the
robbery which he committed A care
full inquiry into his past life shows
that he has always been honest in his
dealings, straightforward and indus
trious to provide for his family.
1t is asserted by all who knew him
that it was his worry over the condi-
ton of his wife and 5-year- son,
his inability to get work and his own
weakened physical condition that led
him to commit the crime for which he
was sentenced. His straightforward
manner of confessing his guilt and
his honesty with the authorities un-
doubtedly had much to do in securing
leniency on the part of the governor
and assistant state attorney general.
Thompson says in his petition: 81

did every reasonable thing to obtain
work at this time, and although l was
unable to get work on account Of my

FIRST HOME ICE
TAPPED IN MILTON
NEW MANUFACTURING PLANT
PULLS OFF INITIAL LOT
FRIDAY MORNING.
Excellent Location From Shipping
andpoint-Great Help for
Fruit Industry.

MILTON, April 1O.-For the first
time in the history of Milton, ice
from a home manufacturing plant was
placed in storage in the William Ret
ger ware rooms yesterday. Although
the new $4,000 plant was started last
off the plates until Friday morning,
the first lot being about II tons.
From many standpoints the open
ing of an ice manufacturing concern
in Milton bespcaks progress. 1t will
not alone bring added capital to the
city but will form another valuable
source of revenue. Beside giving to
the owner and promoter of the concern
a good rate of interest on the money
he has invested, this plant will be a
big help in marketing the wonderful
crops of fruit and vegetables which
are produced in this part of the valley
every year. Instead of going to Walla
Walla to load refrigerator cars for
shipment of fruits and other products
grown in the Milton country, this
work can be done at home, saving the
leakage that inevitably results in the
trip from the point of icing to the
place of loading the cargo.

The plant itself is located on the
