JECTS CAUSE ACTIVITY.

be sold within a very short time.
Malaga has a territory back of 1t
which insures for 1t a population
equal to that Of Cashmere. Some
new projects are being opened ur
all of which are having direct bear
ing upon the growth of this future
little city. The Valhalla irrigation
project means in itself at least SO
families very soon and little later
100 families for this neighborhood
Other places in the Malaga district
are being cut up into Ave and ten
acre tracts and sold to home makers
Across the Columbia river from
Malaga will also be several hundred
new settlers. To accommodate these

BE ABLE TO RESUME HIS EX-
ECUTIVE DUTIES MIR. HAY

The condition of Gov. Cosgrove al
Paso Robles is the subject for great
deal of discussion in the daily pa

recently came from California,
states that Mr.. Cosgrove will never
be able to return to Washington, that
his malady is incurable and that he
cannot live but a short time. Another
report from a supposedly reliable
source is that Mr. Cosgrove ID rapidly

LEONARD FOWLER
LANDS GOOD JOB
RECENTLY ACCEPTED POSITION
AS MANAGER OF THE NORTH
WEST FOR THE OUTCAULT AD-
VERTISING co.

Leonard Fowler, formerly publish
er of the Wenatchee Republic and
late manager of the Ranch, a Seat
tie magazine, is now making a great
record as manager for the north
west of the Outcault Advertising Co.
of Chicago. This is probably the
foremost concern of it's kind in TIE
country, very strong financially and
doing always large volume Of bust
ness. r. F. Outcault, the great car
toonist who originated the Buster
Brown" cartoons and who has made
more money from that business than
any other artist in the world, is
president of the company.
G. N. Crewdson, general manager
of the company. was in this city
yesterday returning from Bridgeport,
where he is heavily interested in a
big orchard proposition. To A rep
resentative d the World lie stated
that Mr.. Fowle. il with his frin and
is making one VI the most phen )mi-
nal records as getter of business.
The Chicago man further says that
he took occasion to look into the diff
ficulties which terminated in Mr..
Fowler's disconnection with the
Ranch, and that, in his opinion, Mr..
Fowler was shamefully imposed upon
in the disposition made OF the pub
licat,on.
The manner of Mr.. Crewdson's
meeting with Mr.. Fowler was quite
unique. The erstwhile Wenat ,hee
publisher was In Vancouver recently
and was overheard while making q
business argument to another gen.
tleman in the lobby of the hotel.
The Chicago man was so struck by
the forcefulness of the stranger s
talk, that he waited for an oppor-
tunity to introduce himself, then
said: "I don't know whether you
are a rascal or a genius, but you
look good to me. want you to joip
me in the business I represent, and
as a retainer, take this" With that
he handed Mr.. Fowler 800 in GU
rency.

CANNOT |MPR|SON
FOR BOARD BILL
JUDGE GREMSHAW HOLDS THAT
BEATING A HOTEL BILL is NOT
A CAUSE FOR CRIMINAL CON-
PLANT.

Michael Swan was arraigned in
the superior court this morning
charged with beating a Great North
ern commissary bill at the Cascade
tunnel. The charge was filed by
Prosecutor Kemp on the statute
passed by the legislature of 1907,
making it a criminal offense to at
tempt to defraud a hotel keeper on
a board bill. Attorney o. P. Bar
rows represented Swan in the trial
Judge Grimshaw held with a num-
Der of the other superior court judges
of the state that the law is uncon-
stitutional in that it provides for an
Imprisonment for debt, in direct
violation of the constitution of the
United States.
While a number of the superior
courts of the state have passed on
this law and held it to be unconstitu-
tional, the supreme court has not as
yet passed on the statute. Under the
present law 1t has had tendency to
make of the courts q collection
agency and every hotel man who has
been defrauded Of a board bill has
sought to invoke the law.

MOI T. D|VU[GE
TARIFF RATES
WILL NOT MAKE
PUBLIC TARIFF SCHEDULE
AGREED UPON IN BOTH
HOUSES.

Washington, March 22.-Emulat-
ing the ways and means committee
of the house members Of the finance
committee of the senate will take
extraordinary precautions to prevent
the divulging of schedules agreed
upon for the new tariff bill until
such time as the bill has been perfect
ed. In the few sessions of the COM
mittee that have been held, rates
have not been discussed at all. The
discussions have been confined to
questions of procedure, such as agree
ing upon the employment of certain
experts in tariff making to ala in
preparing bill.
ALL the republican senator's have
agreed that they will not divulge the
committee rates. Following the usual
custom the democratic members of
the finance committee will not be
consulted until the bill has been
completed. They will have an oppor-
tunity to examine it, however, before
the measure is reported to the senate,
although this courtesy has not been
shown in the past and is contrary
to the procedure observed by the
house committee on ways and means
In connection with the Payne bill.
The republican members Of the ways
and means committee completed their
bill and it was introduced In the
house before the democratic MEM
bers saw 1t. The hrst chance they
had to express themselves upon 1t oc-
Cured in the committee after the bill
had been referred and that opportu-
nifty was extremely limited.
The plan outlined BY Senator Aid
rich and his republican colleagues
on the finance committee is to take
up the bill and put 1t into shape and
then to call the full committee to-
gether. The democrats then would
have the unhampered chance Of sub
hitting a minority report to the SEN
ate at the same time the bill Is re-
ported. The minority members of the
committee viii not assume any res
for the measures II the
ordinary custom is followed. It is
likely, however, that they will take
the house tayiff bill and dissect 1t
and build a party measure that will
become an important part Of the mi
nority report.

mittee rooms and not taken therefrom
by any members OF the committee.
These tables will be In the custody
OF trusted employees. As further
means Of preventing disclosures con-
corning the details of the bill the
question of rates will be postponed
until the phraseology Of the various
principles to be incorporated in the
measure has been agreed upon. In
other words, the form of the bill
will be perfected before an effort Is
made to agree upon any Of the sew
eral schedules over which there Il

WASHINGTON APPLES WIN.
Drive Eastern Fruit Out of Market
They Enter.

Wherever Washington apples com
pete with eastern apples the latter
are driven out of the market, says
r. N. Walker, Of Spokane. who has
just returned from an extended triE
through Illinois, Indiana, Iowa and
Minnesota.
TO illustrate the above statement
Mr.. walker told of an experience in
Washington, Indiana. He had taken
back with him several boxes of prize
winning apples at the National Ap-
pie show, and these were placed in
display in one Of the store windows.
Beside them vere apples grown in
New York. which were SO badly out
classed that the merchant wac
ashamed to otter them for sale, and
finally ordered . shipment Of Wash
ington-grown apples from Chicago
houte.
These came while Mr.. Walker was
still in the town, and he was thus
able to prove that Washington apples
are as good as they look to be. The
fruit from Chicago, all fourier APP
pies, grown in Wenatchee and Che
Ian, caused much comment. increas-
ing the already intense interest which
people of the middle west and east
have In the northwest.
