Two Brothers Drown Near Creighton

Two Brothers Drown Near Creighton.
Creighton, Neb., July 19,-Special to
The News: Two brothers-boys aged
II and 14-lost their lives together in
pool while bathing in a pond or their
fathers pastureland yesterday after.
noon.
The victims of the dual drowning
were sons of Anton Hansen, a pros
porous farmer living ten miles north.
west of Creighton.
Parents Almost crazed.
The parents of the two dead boys
are almost insane today in their grief
over the terrible tragedy.
Three boys-the two who persisted
and a MCGEE boy-went bathing in
the pond during the hot afternoon.
None of them could swim. They did
not know that the pond contained any
deep spots.
The older Hansen boy waded into
the water first. The bottom of the
pond was slippery and inclined sharp
ly. Suddenly he dropped from sight,
sinking beneath the waters surface.
He did not come up. 49,,
Then his younger brother jumped
into the hole after the older boy, think.
ing to help him. And the younger
brother, also, stayed down in the wa
ter.
Into Hole Eight Feet Deep.
The brothers had sunk into a hole
eight feet deep.
The MCGEE lad walked along the
edge of the hole, trying to get sight of
the missing brothers. He could not
swim and dared not venture into the
deep pool. But the bottom of the pond
was so slippery that he, too, almost
went in and had difficult time escap-
ing with his life.
He gave the alarm and Albert Mauls
dived into the hole, bringing up both
bodies, which lay below the water in
the same spot.
The two brothers were unusually
large for their age.
The tragedy has cast gloom over
the community.

What Varieties To Plant

The Methow Eagle contains an in
terview with Prof Holdenbeke in
which he says, in part:
There are 5000 varieties Of apples
registered by the United States gov
eminent and OF these only twelve are
considered by the great eastern buyers.
These twelve are Jonathan, Wagner,
Spitzenberg, Winesap, Rome Beauty,
Grimes Golden, White Winter Pear
main, Yellow Newtown Pippin, Olym-
pia Baldwin, Macintosh Red, and Of
them all the Spitz was favorite 300
years ago and continues so today; but
beware of false prophets, for there are
irresponsible nurseries that create de
mands for improbable trees. And in
the country of Wenatchee there have
been three different trees put before
the public that were worthless, and in
one instance certain eastern tree
concern actually bought at fancy prices
the apples from the trees it sold.
But When Mr.. Michaels, one of Chi
cago's biggest buyers, tried to unload
a car load lot of them that he had in
Chicago and couldn't sell, the firm re-
fused to take them at any price. What
the company would pay for the va
riety that it made a leader appeared
to be entirely matter OF where the
trees had been put up for sale. Stick
to any of the old varieties that are
adapted to your place, and let some
body else try the experiments. There
are more Jonathans than any other
kind throughout the United States. A
mistake that is often made is to raise
the largest sized varieties, whereas the
buyers want an apple of three tiers or
three and half The Stayman Wine
sap grows too large and should not
have much moisture for that reason

Publicity Agent McKittrick, whom
the Commercial Club of Wenatchee
sent TO Occur d Alene to distribute
literature and think aloud on the many
and great opportunities in Wenatchee
valley, has been doing fine work Mr..
McKittrick had only four boxes Of
apples for an ocular demonstration of
what the valley could do; but his
printed matter was like his language in
one respect-unlmited.
The results of this advertising have
been apparent. Six or seven strangers
are coming into Wenatchee every day.
Large numbers of lockers have been
attracted to the valley, and real estate
men are busy answering questions and
showing property. The upper end of
the valley should be, and doubtless is,
getting its share OF these seekers for
business opportunities-for, you know,
The higher up the valley you be,
Bigger and redder the apples you see

Conservation Congress in Seattle

The First National Conservation
Congress of the United States which
will convene in the Auditorium Of the
A.-Y.-P. exposition, Seattle, Washing
ton, August Dc, 81, %, promises to
be great general convention of prom
inent men and women from all sections
in which conservation has received
any attention.
Arrangements for the congress have
been completed by the executive
board of the Washington Conservation
Association, an organization having
several hundred members in different
counties of the state. The association
has sent special invitations to more
than ten thousand people, and ex-
tended general invitation to all con-
servationsts to attend and participate
in the deliberations.
Conservation is the living question
OF today. 1t comes before the people
as a necessary climax to the continued
waste OF natural resources practiced in
the past quarter OF century of western
development. 1t suggests the calling
OF halt to extravagant methods OF
utilizing the forests, water, soil and
other gifts of nature bestowed for the
benefit OF the human family.
Every great reform movement OF the
world has enlisted the earnest support
of every thinking woman who could see
beyond the horizon of the present time
into the fields of the future. Conserv-
alton work is no exception to the gen
eral rule OF great movements in the
interest OF humanity. 1t is broad
enough to include the consideration of
irrigation, water, forestry, soil, good
roads and other means OF transportation,
public health and morals, education
and all that goes to make up perfect
communities Of prosperous individuals.
All these subjects and many others
will be handled by practical men and
women at the First National Congress
of conservationists.

The irrigation Congress

At Tuesdays morning session of the
irrigation congress in Spokane Chief
Forester Clifford Pinchot prophesied a
great water power trust, backed by the
General Electric Company, and de-
clared the water power interests are
annually represented at the irrigation
congress by paid attorneys, and he
faced boldly the enemies OF conserva-
ton and denounced them from the
platform.
These are some of the resolutions
introduced:
That the government reimburse pri-
vate owners who have invested money
in irrigation works;
That the government furnish water
to the arid lands thrown open under
the homestead laws, and that the
entrymen be not required to establish
residence until this is done;
That the reclamation act of June II,
1902, be extended to Hawaii;
That the National Irrigation Congress
indorse the project of building deep
waterway from the great lakes to the
gulf.

IN Icons ROOM
ELSIE SIGEL'S BODY IN TRUNK
DRIVEN TO NEWARK AND
BACK

New York, June 3O.-The police last
night made public statements en-
bracing the information given them
by Arthur Logan, eXpressman, as to
his taking the trunk containing the
body of Elsie Sigel from Leon S
room to Wah KEGS laundry in West
12Gth street on the night of June g..
Logan said that while in Icons
room he noticed a door ajar and four
Cinnamon were in the next room, the
one occupied by Chung Sin. Eight
hours later, Martin Laurea, driver of
a taxicab, called at the laundry. The
trunk was placed in the cab and a
Chinaman, answering Icons descrip-
ton, got in with it. They drove to
Newark, reaching a restaurant at ga
Market street, at o'clock the next
morning. The next day, James Hal
sted, a cabman, took the trunk con
tanning the body back to Icons form
er room. where it was found by the
police. Meantime Leon vanished.
When arrested Chung Sin swore the
door between his room and Icons
was never open. LOgan's story yes
terday was directly opposite.

WRIGHT BROTHERS FAIL
IN WASHINGTON TRIAL

Washington. June 3O-After max
ing three unsuccessful efforts to get
his uew aeroplane into the air yester-
day. Orville Wright made a short
flight encircling Fort Myer. Lack of
power, due 10 loose spark control,
was finally determined upon by the
Wrights as the cause Of the refusal
OF the machine TO fly for more than a
few hundred feet beyond the end of
the starting rail.
After testing the motor and making
other preliminary tests, Wilbur Wright
stationed himself a the end of the
aoroplane and ran along with it when
OrvilIe released the weight, which
pulled down the track and gave it
momentum. The machine rose from
the ground as soon as it left the rail-
but appeared to be able TO mount into
the air but q few feet. The right
wing veered towards the ground and
struck the earth at its tip. The ma
chine was swung completely around
so that it faced the starting apparatus

SENATORS FLOODED
WITH MESSAGES
IN OPPOSITION TO CORPORATION
TAX-sOME RECEIVE AS
MANY AS 100.
PROPOSITION MAY BE PUT ASIDE
FOR INHERITANCE
SCHEME.

Washington, June 3O.-A flood of
kilograms, nearly equaIling that which
swamped the wires during the anti
railroad pass fight, is pouring in upon
senators in opposition to the corpOr-
alton tax amendment.
Most of the kilograms come from
persons interested in building and
loan associations, but practically every
character of corporate operation is
represented. Most of the senators
received from II to so kilograms
yesterday, and some at least 100. 1t
became evident that there is an organ
lied movement throughout the coun-
try in opposition to the corporation
tax amendment.
In view of the vehement tone of the
protests and the fact that the tele-
grams are from business men highly
respected in their communities, the
senators, who are pledged to vote for
the administration program said they
are feeling some concern as TO the
wisdom of their course. 1t is admit
ted on the floor o. tne senate that
there are comparatively few members
who favor the corporation tax amend
ment in spite Of the fact that a can
vass shows 50 republicans will vote
for it, If it we're not for the presi-
dents support OF the proposition, it
probably could not be adopted.
