Millions

The state grain commission gave

all told, of which 35, ,O95, 900 bush
els are wheat, 9,29O,OOO bushels are
oats and 5, 5,1SO,OOO bushels are bar
ley. The average yield gives wheat
20 bushels to the acre and barley
and oats 60 bushels each. The aver
age price paid for the last ten years
has oeen 60 cents bushel for wheat
81. 10 per GENITAL for oats and 81 per
Genital for barley.
Whitman and Lincoln lead all
counties in the area devoted to the
production of grain, with $4,000,
acres each, Whitman leading in the
yield of wheat, with s, 100000 bush
els and Lincoln 5000, 900.
Whitman has first place in the
production of oats, with yield of
100000 bushels, and Skagit Sec
ond, with a little over half that
amount.
The heaviest production of harley
is credited to Columbia county, g.

CEMETERY REMOVAL IMPOSSIBLE

All those whom the thought OF
the cemetery is a tug at the heart
strings need have no anxious
thought about the Riverview Hell
phts Cemetery being moved. No
member of the board OF trustees OF
the Kennewick Cemetery Associa-
ton which is incorporated has a
thought of voting to move it and
the state laws for the government OF
such cemetery associations are
drawn in such careful way that
the Association itself could not
move the cemetery, if it should so
desire. which is by no means the
case. Further agitation OF the ques-
ton can only result in i'll feeling
and harm, and it would be highly
creditable to all concerned if the
agitation were u Nv dropped.

cleared and go into private seance,
with the property owners; G. J.
Hennebery, Frank Emigh, and s.
M. Lockerby attorney for Mrs. Beach
and the representatives of the North
Coast railway.
1t is difficult to get at the facts
OF the executive session, but this
much is certain. Monroe street
will remain open as at present with
full public rights thereon. Private
crossings 81 feet wide will be main
tanned by the North Coast in per-
petulty on Adams and Madison
streets.
Mr.. Henneberry receives $3.50
for his three lots in block four. Ad-
lustment was made with the Beach
interests satisfactory to them. The
North Coast purchased the two lots
in block l which they had started
condemnation suit on, and paid a
bonus for goodly sum for the dam
age to the rest Of the block. On
the lots taken they give them the
triangular piece of land left on one
side Of the track fer similar piece
on the other side, and track privi-
leges. In block in addition to the
private crossings above mentioned
and the money bonus as in the case
of block one, they are to have pri-
vate spur tracks to the property and
other exclusive warehouse privileg-
es. On this basis and with the pro-
viso that the North Coast take up
all options and pay over the cash
for all the property and on this
basis the council passed a resolution
vacating the streets asked for with
the exception of Monroe street and
with limitations as above indicated.

Everett.
The average farm unit in the
grain producing sections of the state
is about 375 acres, with, at the pre-
sent time, an apparent tendency to
increase. The abundant yields of
grain for the last ten years and the
uniformly high prices have created
wealth in farming communities of
the state and developed a tendency
among the more wealthy to take up
their residence in the towns and
cities and to regard their farms not
as homes, but as business ventures
and to conduct them as other bust.

Lady Salisbury. who was Lady Cecily

home of the Cecils. and has made a
study Of it's contents and associations.
Like most old houses. Hatfield has a
tragic incident in it's history. In 1885

aged lady. met her death in grewSome
fashion. She was writing OH dark

the light from the two candles on her
desk to be insufficient. rang for a
servant to bring another With the
three lights she continued writing.
Shortly afterward the west wing of

CHOICE MISCELLANY
When Money Wasn't Loved.

Through an old man. now upward of
ninety. the following incident has
come to our knowledge. 1t will show
the old time apparent Indifference to
gain. especially among the good ma
tured American people. who seemed
to have been content with small re-
turns of cash. having usually plenty
of room. plenty Of land and plenty to
eat. A man had gone from New Jer-
sey to Haverstraw to get some molds
for use in brickmaking. He had occa-
sion to cross the river TO Peekskill and
found a steamboat captain. to whom
he said. How much will you charge
to take me over?'
''Oh, | don't know" said the cap
tain. II guess about 8 cents"
"All right" said the traveller. "IlI
go over"
"Start up the engine" commanded
the captain. And on the way over he
asked. When do you expect to come
back?"
'In about three days"
Cali right Blow your whistle any
time. and I'll come over after you"
Those were easy days on the Hud-
SOn.-Newark News.

LOST IN K|TT|TAS
HILLS
f.. A. CARPENTER, ~, WANDERS
FROM CAMP - SEARCHERS
SCOUR WOODS-THREE POSSES
HUNTING FOR HIM.

Ellensburg, Wash, Oct. 19.-E. A.
Carpenter. II years old, wealthy
retired farmer of the Kittitas val
lev, is lost in the mountains near the
head of Wilson creek, 25 miles from
Ellensburg He disappeared from a
camp where he was staying with his
son and a party OF friends and his
hunting companions spent the whole
night in a futile search for him, only
giving up the hunt in the early hours
of the morning.
At daylight his son, Will Carpen-
ter, rode to Ellensburg and notified
the sheriff's Office of his fathers dis
appearance, and at noon today three
parties left for the hills to aid in
the search. With a party composed
of John Draper, Carpenters son-in-
law, H. c. Draper and Ed. Frogatt, all
of Tacoma. and his son Will, Mr.. Car
penter has been in the hills since the
first of last week hunting and fish
ing. Owing to Mr. Carpenters age
the other men in the party have been
leaving him in the camp to look after
the outfit when they went far into the
woods.
The younger men left the camp to
hunt about l o'clock yesterday, as
usual leaving Mr.. Carpenter in
charge.
The hunters were gone only two
hours, and on their return found that
Mr.. Carpenter had gone. They
thought nothing of his absence until
nightfall, when they became worried
The Wenatchee daily world. [volume] (Wenatchee, Wash.) 1905-1971, 1909-10-19

and began to hunt for the missing
man in the vicinity of the camp.
Their search was not rewarded, and
they began to widen their circle, go
ing into the hills on each side.
Farmers in the neighborhood were
notified, but although Is men hunted
all night, firing guns at intervals, no
trace of this missing man was found,
and they received no answer to the
gun shots.
When Will Carpenter arrived in
Ellensburg Sheriff Crowley immedi-
ately gathered a posse which he di-
yided into three parties. One party,
headed by Thomas Maxey, with his
pair of bloodhounds, in the speediest
automobile in the city, avs rushed
to the hills in order to be on the
ground while the scent is still fresh.
The second party, headed by Sheriff
Crowley, also left in an auto, while
the third party, led by Deputy Sher-
iff Burrell German and Sergt. John
Gilmour, of the local police force,
brought up the rear in light wa
gon loaded with bedding and supplies
for the use Of the posse.
Wilson creek canyon, where Mr..
Carpenter is lost, is in the same vici-
nifty in which w. A. Alverson wan
version was lost in Nahum canyon,
and the two canyons are separated
by a divide which is about three miles
in width

that the chancellor always read them
