production shows a marked decrease

F. e. Goodall, secretary of. the
Spokane Chamber of Commerce, gave
an interesting address on the effect
OF organization, and It has been pro-
nounced one of the best addresses
OF it's kind ever delivered in wena.-
chez. Mr. Goodall said that Spokane
stood as peacemaker between Yaki-
ma and Wenatchee and that 1t was
the intention of the Spokane body to
keep on boosting for every section
Of the state, regardless of the petty
grievances of any section.
W. T. Clark, president Of the We
natchee Canal company, gave an in
teresting outline of his life in Wash
ington and of the work of develop

years ago, when he prophesied in
Yakima that land would be worth
5000 and $500 an acre, and would
talk about it on the streets, he was
dubbed WINDY BILL and when he
afterward came into the Wenatchee
valley and discovered another won
derful country in the rough and then
went back and told the people of
Yakima about it, he was dubbed
"Crazy BILL" but time had proven
that his prophesies had fallen short

MAXIM DEFENDS SILENCER.
Says 1t Could Not be Used on RevOl-
yer by Secret Assassin.

Says 1t Gould Not be Used on RevOl-
yer by Secret Assassin.
Hiram Percy Maxim, inventor of
the noiseless gun, was asked what he
had to say about the threat of the
chief of police of Pittsburg, Pa, that
he would arrest any one found pos
sessing a silencer, and also clap him
in Jail, and he said:
"The chief of police of Pittsburg,
if he is quoted correctly, tells how
easily and without detection one man
with a silenced revolver could kill
another Evidently he has not even
read the papers, for it has been stat
ed very plainly time and again that
no silencer has been or could be fit
ted to a revolver. The construction
of revolver, with it's chambers open
at both ends, prevents its equipment
with silencer. Only rifles are thus
equipped, and murderers do not go
around armed with rifles.
''Then, again, as has been careful
ly explained, the noise of discharge
of a silenced rifle would be loud
enough to betray the man who fired
unless q gun Of small caliber and low
velocity were used. 1t has been dem
onstrated that when a bullet travels
at the rate Of 1920 feet per second it
makes crack as it tears through the
air that-is perceptible for 200 or 800
yards. By means of the silencer the
explosive noise is done away with,
but the bullet noise remains"
