MYSTERY BABY
FOR SOME ONE
DIR. HENDERSON HAS
GIRL TO GIVE AWAY
Child Born Tuesday Night is Not
Wanted by its Parents and Will be
Given to Some Respectable Family
or Will be Kept by Physician
Parentage Remains Mystery.

A mysterious tiny baby girl, born
night before last, of good parentage,
a healthy baby, and a good dispo-
sition, is to be given into the care OF
some good family to be raised prop
erly and is now at the home of DR.
T, NJ, Henderson where It will be kept
Until a good home can be found for
the child.
The reason for giving the child
away is that the parents don't want
the child. Beyond this Or, RENDER
son refuses to state any of the par
ticulars. While out on one of his
professional visits the child was born
and the mother asked the doctor to
take the baby and find a home for it.
This the doctor is attempting to do
and if no suitable place can be found
the doctor and his wife will keep it
themselves. The baby is fine
healthy child and the doctor will
vouch for its parentage, but beyond
this he refuses to make any state
ment, 4 number of callers have
been to see the child and applications
have been made for the baby but 1t
has not been given to any one so far.
The occurrence reads like bit of
fiction and is on the order of the
door step infant. 1t is interesting to
look into the future ard predict the
fate of the girl Many a romance has
been begun in this manner and the
result IS generally happy for the girl.
This air Of mystery will perhaps al
ways surround the child, put in the
future sometime the identity Of the
child may be forced from its hiding
place and her real name established
in order to allow her to claim a pos
sible fortune.
That is the way it happens in the
books and it is by no means i'm
possible that the same thing may oc-
cur in this case.

Another Good Citizen
For San Juan County

Emory j. Haasze, who recently
purchased the Gafford ranch at East
Sound, has taken Possession of the
place and will begin at once to make
extensive improvements. Owing to
the excellent school advantages offer
ed bis family will remain in Seattle
until next June. Until that time
bis son will look after his East Sound
interests. Mr.. EHaasze was in town
for short time Monday and in talk
INK with an Islander representative
said; "During the progress of the
Exposition l had charge of the Yax-
ina county exhibit and 1t Was while
l was there that my attention was di
rected 10 San Juan county, which
looks good tU me. There is no better
country under the sun than that COM
prising the Yakima district. but my
family were not we'll there and | de
clded to come to salt water in the
hope of bettering this condition. l
Was in Yakima four years and during
this time watched pretty carefully
the Development of the country and
the methods adopted by the best fruit
growers. This experience has led me
to believe that San Juan county. in
most instances, has yet to plant her
commercial orchards and to learn
the vale Of thorough cultivation,
pruning and spraying. This county
can grow as choice fruit as can be
raised anywhere, but to do this the
proper varieties must be planted aud
the trees properly cared for: IN other
words it must be scientifically done.
When asked what WAS his native state.
he replied. g. was born Badger, rais-
ed Gopher, lived for time a Coyote
and now | must be Cayuse." In ad-
dition to his newly acquired East
Sound property Mr.. Haasze owns four
ranches in the Yakima country and is
quite heavily interested in Seattle
realty.
