planted There is an abundance OF
plants, and they are further advanced
this season than was ever known in the
month of May. In some districts it is
estimated that two thirds of the IN
tended crop has been set out, and some
think that this per cent, will hold good
all over the county. but this is proba-
bly, too high an estimate. and more
conservative one would be fifty per
cent. The cut worms have begun to
appear in great numbers, and the prob
abilities are that the crop will be dam
aged and will require great deal Il
re-setting. The cool weather will en-
nance the danger Of destruction by the
worms, but should the weather turn
off warm the work of the little pests
will be slow, as they cannot stay at the
surface when the ground is warm.
These rainy, cool nights, however. are
cut worm weather, and they are. IN
their glory and will do great damage.
1t is to be hoped that the mercury viii
take soar upwards and thus protect
the early planting Of the tobacco crop.
The corn crop is not all planted and
the weather is against it. That part
Of the crop that has been planted is
not doing so we'll on account Of the

they should throw it out; and their
report, with the cost certified under
those conditions, is now in the hands
of Mr.. Snow.
''The company, in arriving at the
figures on which the sale was based
made what l consider an important
concession. There was subscrip-
ton of between $4,000 and $780,
900 paid by public spirited citizens
of Wenatchee, who put up their
money because they realized the i'm
portance of the bridge in it's relation
to local needs, and furthermore saw
in it link connecting two parts of
state highway from Puget Sound
to eastern Washington.
Ordinarily, in transaction of
this kind the price is figured on the
vested, with interest; but in the case
of the Wenatchee bridge the public
subscription was deducted from the
cost, and interest at per cent was
charged on the original investment,
less SIT 900. There can be no valid
objection on that score to the sale
of the bridge; in fact, the state is
gamer by $4,000 with interest.
Another objection, which has
been urged with greater force, is
that there exists a defect in the title
to the right of way whereby the
Great Northern might interfere with
one of the approaches to the bridge.
Apparently this objection is well
founded; in reality it is of no con-
sequence. L. c. Gilman, counsel for
the railroad company, has agreed to
cure the defect so that the title to
be conveyed to the state can not be
questioned"

the trees will be on the market.

GOV. HAY CLEAR

BRIDGS-CLAIMS THE PRICE
is NOT HIGH.

Seattle, June 1.-The Sunday
Times publishes an interview with
former Judge Thomas Burke, who
was for a time connected with the
Great Northern, in which he says:
with respect to the Wenatchee
bridge the action of Governor NJ. E.
Hay is as clean as hounds tooth.
am able to demonstrate that Mr. Hay
has not at any time had financial con-
nection with that structure, either di-
rectly or indirectly; and I may say
that to the best of my knowledge he
has not made a political deal based
on the sale of the bridge to the state.
"The transaction was a business
matter pure and simple, between the
Washington Bridge company on the
one hand and the state of Washington
on the other.
THE price to be paid by the state
is not excessive. In fact, it is less
than the cost of the bridge. AS basis
of negotiationfi the accounts were
canvassed by c. NJ. Williams & Co.,
certified public accountants of this
city, under positive and unequivocal
instructions that if any account
should be wrong in the least degree

SOUTHSIDE ITEMS.

The people of Southside turned
out en- masse at the eBaver Greek
schoolhouse Sunday, where an APP
propriate program was given under
the direction of the teacher of
School District No. 40, Miss Adam
son. After the program the graves
were decorated and then came the
picnis dinner. The cooking of the
Badger Mountain housewives was
depleted by those present, to show
their appreciation, one or two prom
inent citizens especially distinguish
ing themselves. A business meeting
of the cemetery association was held
later. Everyone present appeared to
enjoy themselves and retired to their
homes glad that they came.
The recent rains and warm wea-
Their has brought the grain along
pretty lively. Most farmers are busy
summer following. 1t is remarked
that the grasshoppers are not here
and it is likely the cold snap of last
winter cleaned them out. which is
very desirable as they damaged gar
dens, trees and oats considerable last
season in most places. There is a
good stand of wheat, but the wire
worms have done some damage.
New families are moving in. which
is change from recent years when
they moved out. They are welcome,
as We need more people. Besides,
this is one of the best countries in
the world to make a living.
1t is said the proposed new tele-
phone line is dead, but a better one
may arise from it's ashes.
Hundreds of ounces of strychnine
have been put out this spring, the
squirrels being pretty thick.
