TIUC-OF-WAR CALLED OFF;
SPOKANE NOT RECEPTIVE

There will be no international
tug-of-war in Spokane on Christ
mas and New Years. John Barnes,
the promoter of the proposed novel
series of contests, left Spokane in
disgust few days ago and Is look
ing over Seattle to see IL the socie-
ties of that city take more readily
to the tug-of-war idea.
1t was Mr.. Barnes idea, and it
was good one, to secure teams
from the societies of the various
nationalities represented here, the
intense rivalry carrying the con-
tests to the topmost peak of popu-
larity. But the foreign societies
failed to receive the idea with the
joy that such athletic affairs are
greeted in Chicago, Milwaukee and
cities farther east, and after a
series of freeze-outs, friendly ad-
vice to forget it" and the general
apathy of the citizens, Barnes de-
cided to try his luck in Seattle.

The repairs to the stand pipe which

tives were last week brought from Ev-
erett to Wellington under the super
vision of Mr.. w. S. Skinner, who has
had charge of the electrical equipment
of the Great Northern plant, two miles
from Leavenworth.
For the past few weeks the great
dynamos have been running, wearing
the bearings of the machinery smooth
and for the further purpose that the
engineers in charge might take OBJ
servation and make tests of the power
developed. The power line is com
pleted and everything is now ready to
make a test run. Just when that in
teresting event will take place we were
not told but it will in all probability be

Father of Man Who Assaulted Mayor of
Georgetown Resides Here

1t will be recalled that the mayor of
Georgetown was quite severely beaten
on the 18th of this month. George
town is a suburb Of Seattle, where are
located some eighteen saloons. Be-
tween Seattle and Georgetown are sew
eral road houses which it was decided
to put out Of business. A man COM
monty known as Big Hutch, son of F.
H. Hutchings of this place, is the
owner of the Country Inn road house.
He met Mayor Miller as he came
down to open his office and asked him
few questions and then assaulted
him. Being much larger and younger
than Miller the fight was very much
one-sided. When he knocked him
down Miller's head struck the cement
pavement rendering him unconscious
for time. 1t was doubtful for a few
days whether Miller would recover.
Hutchings was placed under bond.

The imminence of a special session
of the legislature to consider the i'm
parchment Of Mr.. Schively, and other
matters growing from the investigation
OF state officers, seems to have drawn
into closer sympathy the political forces
that oppose the special session. Oppo-
nents OF Governor Hay, friends of Mr..
Schively, Legislators who are not anx-
ious to assume the responsibility OF a
record vote on the subjects in hand,
are united in finding reasons why no
session should be called. They argue
that the cost would be large to the
state, that there is no certainty OF i'm
peaching Schively, that lot Of unnec-
essay legislation would be stirred up.
On the other hand the administration
forces seem to be firm in their intent
to call the session if the report OF the
investigating committee justifies such
action, and the call may be issued any
day. The popular sentiment seems to
demand that the investigation which
has revealed such bad conditions in
the state government shall be followed
up with some punishment to the of
tenders, or at least their removal from
office.

A New Lincoln Story

Alban Jasper Conant, the artist, in
telling of his experience in painting a
portrait of Lincoln said:
Yankee wit was mentioned at one
of the sittings, and Lincoln said, that
is something always admired and
coveted. Some one said, why, you
certainly have the credit of possessing
it in large measure. No, said Lincoln,
not the genuine. I don't remember
that I ever got credit for it but once.
Then he told how, hurrying once thru
a courtroom, he was ordered by the
judge to defend a prisoner accused OIL
assault and battery. A witness was
just testifying that the complainant
had been fought all over a field. On
cross examination, said Lincoln,
asked him, How large was that field

ten acres?" NO" "Were there
two acres?" I persisted. Yes just
about two," he agreed. And you
saw him fight this man all over the
field?" pointing to the prisoner. Yes,
sir % well, sir, 7 said, did you
ever see fight before that turned
out so little to the acre?" The wit
ness admitted, with a grin, that he had
not, The judge smiled, and the jury
snickered. So saying that as this crop
was so poor it did not seem worth fur

HARDWOOD IN CALIFORNIA
The Experiment viii Be Made by the Gov
eminent this Summer

The Pacific coast will soon be the
scene OF an interesting tree-growing
experiment. The United States forest
service is planning to introduce num-
Der Of the more important eastern hard
woods into California, and will this year
experiment with chestnut, hickory,
Eastwood, red oak and yellow poplar or
tulip. Small patches Of these trees
will be planted near the forest rangers
cabins on the national forests, and if
these do we'll larger plantations on a
commercial scale will soon be estab-
lished on wider areas.
There are over one hundred and
twenty-five different species Of trees in
California, a number of which produce
some of the most valuable varieties of
lumber in the country. Altho consid-
erably over one-half Of the species are
hardwood or broad-leaved trees, yet,
with the exception OF the exotic euca-
lyptus, there is not single species Of
hardwood here ranking in commercial
importance with the leading eastern
hardwoods. Climatic conditions in
many parts of California are undoubt-
eddy favorable for the growth Of num-
Der Of the valuable hardwoods, and the
absence Of these trees is due mostly to
unfavorable factors of seed distribution.
If the experiments are successful, a
valuable asset will have been added to
the forest resources Of this state, which
should prove OF special benefit to the
local furniture and vehicle industries.

Harmless Fly Poison

The Chicago health department re-
Gently sent out bulletin which con-
tains warning against the common
house fly. The bulletin says:
"A good fly poison not dangerous
to human life is a solution of bichro-
mate of potash one dram, dissolved in
two ounces of water and sweetened
with a little sugar. Put some in shall
low dishes throughout the house.
This is a cheap poison and can be OBJ
tanned at any drug store.
Another good fly poison is cobalt
chloride one dram, dissolved in shallow
dishes as above. This is more ex-
pensive than the bichromate of potash
and is harder to obtain"
