}AzE. CONVICT.
TRAVELS ALONE
GUARDS CONFIDENCE WELL PLACED
Walla Walla Prisoner Trusted TO
Come Hec to Testify Against Pal In
Horse Stealing.

Confidence in a prison "trustie" was
stretched to the limit Tuesday when a
travelling guard from the Wala
Walla penitentiary bought ticket at
Tacoma for George Baze. a convict.
and sent him on to North Yakima
alone to testify in the case of Elmer
Watson, the Montana Kid which
opens in the superior court here today.
The confidence was not misplaced,
for Baze walked into Sheriff Lancas-
ter's office Tuesday afternoon, explain
ed who he was and what he was there
for and asked for orders.
At Large i'm North Yakima.
Sheriff Lancaster thought one good
turn deserved another, and promptly
released Baze from custody until the
opening of the trial this morning.
The prisoner was about the streets
of North Yakima Tuesday afternoon,
unguarded, and returned TO the coun-
ty Jail last night where he was given
a place to sleep.
BaZe and the Montana Kid" were
implicated in horse stealing in this
county last spring. Baze was con-
victed and sentenced to Walla Walla,
and Watson will have his trial this
week. 1t is likely that the good be-
havior of Baze will go along ways in
| shortening his sentence.

LAND OWNERS
TO HELP CANAL
ON BIG N'CKITAT Project
Agreement Between Association OF
Ranchcrs and Company Believed
Assured

Agreement of the Horse Heaven
Land Owners association and the
klickitat Irrigation & Power Co., as
to the form of contract to be used
for the big irrigation project that VII
eventually water the Horse Heaven
plateau is believed to be certain as a
result of several conferences held
between the officials of the associa-
ton and the company. Since the eff
fort was made to secure signing of
water contracts, there have been some
differences of opinion as to the exact
wording, the concessions to be made
and the proper adjustment for water
rights. 1t is believed that all of these
differences will be adjusted and the
land owners and canal builders agree
on a basis that will benefit all.
Attorney Graves of Seattle, and At
torney Fred Parker will adjust the
different legal points and it is be-
lieved that the contracts will be ready
for signing in few days.
The Land Owners association was
organized by F. o. Mineah, formerly
of Iowa, who is its president. Mineah
is one of the large landowners of
Horse Heaven, and has secured the
cooperation of ranchers owning thou
sands of acres on the plateau. With
the association approving the con-
tract, and the numerous signatures Of
independent land owners that have al
ready been given, the company ex-
poets that practically all of the acre
age necessary to carry through the
project will be signed up. With this
acreage assured, the com pany officials
have stated that the financing of the
big project is certain.

based on 900 precincts out of 1878
placed him $4,000 behind Barnard,
who in turn was 1886 behind Gay
nor.
The loss of the board of estima' C:
is more than a half defeat for Tam
many, as this was one of the princi-
pal issues of the campaign. In addj-
ton the -fusionists elected
Charles s. Whitman district attorney
of New York county. He defeate1
George c. Battle, democrat, by al
least $1,000. Hearst went down to ie-
feat with a total of less .han 10000

mat on this important mission only

next Monday when another effort will
be made by the Indians to select a

sam Jackson who started out
from Toppenish to attend the meeting
Monday, met the Indians returning
and brought the results Of the council
TO North Yakima Tuesday night. He
said that Dick is part klickitat and
that Wesley is part Umatilla and
therefore neither one Of these Indians
wanted to undertake the mission to
Washington. Jackson said il was the
opinion of many of the Indians that
Louis Mann. an interpreter. should be
sent i'm place of the other two, there
by doing away wit hthe need of an
interpreter for the occasion.
The chief object of the Indians in
going to Washington at this time IL to
urge upon the authorities that timber

WHEAT TO STAY UP.

Chicago, H., May 81" The con-
ditions enable me to predict that
high prices for wheat will prevail all
over the world for year to come,
and that red winter wheat (the soft
wheat will sell as high then as it is
selling today
This is the conclusion of James A.
Patten after reviewing the wheat sit
uation throughout the world in an ad-
dress before the Chicago Flour Men 5
Club. Relating how there was a short
age in the crop in all wheat produc-
ing countries last year. Mr.. Patten
proceeded to show that things are
just as bad, if not great deal worse,
this year. He reiterated his belief
that it was only the great advance in
price that permitted America to keep
its wheat at home, thus preventing
an actual famine in the cereal.

JOHN SMITH.

There was unveiled at jamestown
Island, Thursday, a statue to the
memory of John Smith, the leader of
the Virginia colony. The placing of
a memorial to this colonial hero on a
spot SO closely associated with his
name and fame seems most appropri-
ate, and it must appeal to the coun-
try at large as well as to the people
of Virginia.
In the biographical sketches of
John Smith he is not always gently
drawn, but whatever We may think
of him we must also recognize his
ability as leader and his service to
the colony and the nation that grew
from it.
John Smith may have been rough,
he may not have had the highest re-
sPect for the law, but in considering
his character We must also take into
consideration the code of the day in
which he lived. But all these things
aside We do owe him deep debt of
gratitude for what he did for the Viz
ginia colony.
1t was on the point of dissolution
when John Smith took hold, and by
the right of strength and inherent
might became its leader. He laid
down rigid laws, but that was what
the people of that colony needed.
His methods brought success, and
that is what should be counted in
the long run. The Virginia colony
grew into the most powerful of those
days, and if it had not been for the
appearance of John Smith at the
critical time, it is hard to say what
different trend affairs would have ia
ken.
