BANK DEFA[CAT|0h
OF S137,O0O
EMPLOYEES OF LEWIS.
TON NATIONAL BANK WORKED
GOT AWAY WITH CASH.

Lewiston, Idaho. June 2.-An al
legged defalcation of $4,000 in the
Lewiston National bank was made
public last night and duplicates two
former trusted employees of the bank.
So far as known today no warrants
have been issued. President F. W.
Kettenbach of the bank stated today
that the shortages had been made up
by the directors. The shortage was
found some time ago and has been
carried on over long period by man
ipulation of the adding machine, it
is said. Word has been received
from one of the men alleged to be
implicated that he would return to
Lewiston and face any charges that
may be made What action, if any,
will be instituted against the men al
legged to be implicated in the defalca-
tion cannot be learned, though it is
intimated prosecutions will follow.
The bank may be reimbursed by
the assets of the alleged defaulters
and the bonding company. More
sensational disclosures are expected.
The defalcations cover period of
five years. 1t is alleged one of the
men confessed his guilt and stated
that the other knew the defalcations
were going on. One of the alleged
conspirators has partly made good his
portion of the loss by turning over
his personal property to the bank.

DIR. BLAKE IS IN RECEIPT OF A

DR.. J. H. Blake, of this city, was
in receipt of letter this week from

written by Fred w. Carpenter, pri-
vate secretary to President Taft, in
which he says: "The apples you re-
Gently forwarded the president have
been received and he thanks you cor
daily for your courtesy"
These apples were a portion of the
cold storage apples kept over by DR.
Blake and for which he received
fancy prices this spring from the j
B. Powles company. The apples were
sent to President Taft through in
structions of J. B. POwles & Co. 1t
is safe to say that there were no ap-
pies in the west which brought
fancier prices than did the apples
which were kept in cold storage in
the Wenatchee valley.

FIRE DOES LITTLE
DAMAGE

The alarm of fire was turned in at
noon today and the department res
ponded quickly. The blaze was
found to be in a shed at the rear of
the old Wenatchee hospital building
on C street. When the fire depart
ment arrived on the scene it was
found that the shed was all ablaze.
There was no water available for
quenching the flames and the chemi-
cal was put to work. 1t seems that
r. B. Espy, who occupies the house,
had stored the stock of the old Econ
omy drug store in the shed and the
blaze is supposed to be the result
of spontaneous combustion. The
damage was about $1,000 on the
stock of drugs stored. The efforts
of the department were used mainly
in keeping the flames from doing any
damage to the main building.

HUNDREDS OF ACRES ABOUT WE
PUMPING PLANTS - EXPERT
MENT IS SUCCESS.

For two years plans for the irriga.
tion of arid lands by pumping water
either by hydraulic rams, electric
pumps or gasoline pumps from the
streams and large irrigation bitches
have been formed, and this spring has
seen many of them installed and the
experiment proved the plan to be a
great success.
About 80 pumps, big and little
have been put in. Hundreds of acres
are being irrigated for the first time
Four hydraulic rams are working
successfully in the valley. Mayor
John A. Gellatly has two rams which
he uses to irrigate so acres; o. G.
Fish has one which irrigates so acres
and J. H. Culp and A. Murray irri-
gate 60 acres.
OF the electric pumps w. H. Lowell.
owner of the Valley Power company
has the largest, used to irrigate 800
acres. This land is being developed
this year for the first time.
w. H. Lee and associates have an
electric pump which irrigates 100
acres. Others in the valley using
them are George Farwell, irrigating
80 acres; James Duffy, 20 acres, and
o. B. Fuller, 40 acres.
At Orondo several electric pumps
are in operation successfully. Thou
sands of acres along the Columbia
river bank are being developed and
set to rochards.
The success of the pumping prof.
ects means the development of thou
sands of arid acres in East Wenat-
chez and on the benches back of 1t
along the Columbia river. 1t is esti-
mated that within the next three
years $4,000 acres now undeveloped
will be under irrigation within a
radius of ten miles of this city.
The gasoline pumps are being used
extensively. The largest amount Of
acreage now being irrigated by these
pumps is the Valhalla project, 500
acres now being developed. This lani
was sold in small tracts and is large
ly owned by people from Wenatchee
and the Wenatchee valley.
OF the smaller tracts irrigated by
gasoline pumps there are Leedy
Brothers, 40 acres; A. c. Dallach, 60
acres; J. H. Lebeck, 60 acres; G. e.
Owens and w. G. Crum, 80 acres;
w. T. Knapp and A. Henigsman, %
acres, and Fred Hoffman and w. r.

HANGS CREPE ON
THE DOOR
SCHOOLMA'AM
DOESN'T CARE TO MEET FOND
Mammals OF CHILDREN WHO
FLUNKED IN CITY SCHOOL.

Crepe on the door of the home of
one of the departing schoolma ans
caused something of sensation in
the vicinity of A street the other day.
AS is generally the case, there were
a number of pupils in the schools
who failed to receive the required
per cent to permit them to pass on
to the next grade, and in a number
of instances the meeting with the
mothers proved to be not entirely
pleasant. When the schooIma am in
question received a note from the
mother of one of the youths stating
that she expected to call, the teacher
adopted a method all of her own, so
as to miss the appointment, by hang
ing piece of crepe on the door.
The crepe served its purpose, but
1t worked too well, and the poor
teacher before her departure was COW
cred up with many expressions of
sympathy.
The teacher does not expect to re-
turn next year and for this reason
probably adopted more radical meas
ures than she otherwise would have
done

PRESBYTERIAN ASSEMBLY POINT
TO HIM, EMPEROR WILLIAM
AND PRESIDENT ELIOT AS
SHINING EXAMPLES,

Denver, June president Taft,
Emperor William and President Eliot
of Harvard university were placed
on dry" pedestals by the general
assembly of the Presbyterian church
this morning when their examples of

was commended In the approval of
the report of the temperance COM
mittee of the assembly.
The temperance report advocates
far-reaching reforms, which It is pro-
posed to achieve by memorials to
congress. Here are some of them:
That the receipt of revenue In any
form from liquor traffic be diseon-
tinued.
That the federal government shall
no longer issue liquor tax receipts in
prohibition territory.
That interstate shipments of liquor
be discontinued.
That prohibitory zone Is miles
in width be established around every
Indian reservation.
That the mails be closed to the ad-
vertising of the distillers and dis
tributors.
The report was read and comment
ed on by Luther Ostrander, D. D.,
of New York. The report commend
ed one fraternal order heretofore
noted for its convivial membership
for it's action in discontinuing the
sale or drinking of liquor about the
lodge premises.
Newspapers which carry liquor ad-
vertising fell under the ban of the
assembly, it being recommended that
such papers be not patronized.
Social drinking" also received a
setback when it was urged that the
women's societies of the church
make war on this evil and make it
their business to fight the use of
liquor in women's clubs and in the
home
