To Avoid the Rush.

The sale was to begin at eight
o'clock and when I arrived at half
past seven there were as many as
hunters ahead of me- And for the
next half hour they came in droves.
1t was funny to watch them. Some
were open and above board and did
not mind admitting they were bargain
hunters and these snuggled closely up
to the door and fought for the place
of vantage: The others who did not
care to be eiassed as bargain hunters
stood on the opposite side of the
street and pretended for full thirty
minutes to be interested in the window
displays, but ready at the first stroke
of eight to make a wild dash across
the street Not the least anxious among
the crowd. near the doors were q score
of schoolgirls who had probably
saved their pin-money all week to
add bunch Of flowers to a school hat.
The real bargain hunters were utter
" oblvious to the attention thew were
attracting. Business men. on their way
downtown left the ears 10 see what
was causing the excitement; little chill
dren stopped and asked. "What is it?''
\ party Of prominent people who had
just arrived from Maui made inquiries
and one gentleman was dumfounded 70

sale of women. By the wav. I saw
this same gentleman some twenty min

A Jump in Wheat.
Purple Cow-Almost.

Last of all came the freak table
and here the prices jumped up to $3.50.
But it stands to reason that freaks
always come high. Freak fruits and
flowers of all kinds. I would not have
been at all surprised to have met
Gelet Burgess purple cow after all
of the freak combinations of colors,
fruits and flowers | saw. There were
royal purple apples, blue erabapples,
mauve currants, pink wheat, red straw
and jet grapes. The star freak of the
collection was a large flower of the
daisy variety with an ox-eyed center
of cut jet and fringed petals of Ken
lucky blue grass. One of these could
be purchased for $3.50. Fifteen cents
for one of the rarest of orchids and
$3.50 for a freak ox-eyed daisy.
Not Flower Show.
Now I will have to confess. I did
not attend the opening of the Homo
lulu flower show 1t was only bar
gain sale. But I would not have miss
ed for anything the opportunity it
afforded for a study of human nature.
1t was hat and trimming sale and
the trimmed hats had been on exhibit
tion in a prominent window for a
week and for each hat there were
probably score of women waiting.
I know, for [ had myself picked out
the one I wanted. What, though it
is October and the rains will soon
set in, what woman could be expect
ed to resist the opportunity of get
ting a $40 hat for 50. And each of
them a creation at that. Did not one
beauty have as many as two dozen
varicolored silk apples massed on one
side of the brim and another a per-
feet riot of field grasses, peoples and
daisies all nodding in unison? They
were worth the price just to keep at
home and admire.

SAN BERNARDINO, Oct. 17.-Far
out on the desert among the bleak
peaks which form the base of the San

of Indians, relatives and tribesmen of
the dead Willie Boy, tonight chanting
their weird rites about the encirlcling

bullet from his own gun had plowed.
Even before the news of the death
of the fugitive had reached the outside
world Indian runners were fast carry

and tribesmen, lowering about the edge
of the country through which the hunt
had been prosecuted awaiting either
the report of his capture or death, or
for an opportunity to assist him in his
fight, and tonight a little group of his

CHICAGO, Oct. 17.-Howard A. Rob
inson of Memphis, a cousin of Lamar
A. Harris, the Los Angeles attorney
who committed suicide after robbing
the Erskine bank at Highland Park,

Robinson, acting under instructions
from Harris mother in Los Angeles,
will have the body cremated tomorrow
at Graceland cemetery. Whether the
ashes are to be forwarded to Los An
geles or scattered in Lake Michigan,
Mr.. Robinson said he did not know.
Mr.. Robinson saw Harris month

to Dyerburg, Tenn, to visit relatives.

.SYVERTSON PREPARED
TO APPEAL HIS CASE
FEARS COURT-MARTIAL YER
DICT WILL BE ADVERSE
United Spanish War Veteran Ready
to Continue Flight if Opinion
Against Him Is Rem
dered
Especial to The Herald ]

PASADENA, Oct. 1.-THE court
martial of T. L. Syvertson, the member
of the United Spanish War Veterans
who was charged with making deroga-
tory remarks about his superior officers
in the order, which was concluded in
Los Angeles last week, will, in the
event of a verdict against Syvertson
being given, mean an appeal on the
part of the accused member. who is
now perfecting the same. Syvertson
believes the opinion of the court will be
against him.
When the secret sessions were held
in the armory in Los Angeles Syvert-
son was prosecuted by an officer under
whom he served two years in the
Philippines. In that period Col. w. G.
Schrieber, who conducted the case
against Syvertson, was captain of the
company in which Syvertson was a
private. They endured two years of
hardships and dangers from both the
enemy and the fevers which ragged in
the tropical islands, and now it is al
legged animosity may have actuated
Schrieber in prosecuting SyVertson so
strenuously before the recent court
martial.
Former members of Schrieber's COM
pany assert that during the stay of the
company at Vancouver barracks some
difficulty arose when a quartermaster
sergeant appointed by Schrieber de-
serted from the army and left behind
bills amounting to about $3.50. The men
claim Schrieber wanted the men in the
company to pay pro rata of SO to
settle these bills, but a majority Of the
men rebelled, claiming that as Schrieber
appointed the quartermaster in the face
of protests Of the men he should stand
the loss occasioned by the fellows de-
sertion. Syvertson, it is asserted, was
one of the men who refused to pay his
pro rata, and from that time on, it is
claimed, unfriendly feeling existed be-
tween Schrieber and Syvertson.
This incident is now recalled in the
face of the prosecution of Syvertson by
Schrieber before the court-martial, and
is causing some little comment.

JAPANESE COMMISSIONERS
MAKE HEAVY PURCHASES
Purpose of Visit of Nipponese Still 4
Mystery, Although Good Results
Are Looked for from Trip

WASHINGTON, oct. 17.-Extensive
purchases in the United States by
members of the honorary commercial
commission of Japan of a large va
riety of manufactured articles which
heretofore had not found a market in
the Orient, caused American trade ex-
ports to look for a heavy increase in
trade between the United States and
Japan as the result of the tour being
made by the commission.
Despite that the distinguished Jap
anese visitors have been received hos
pitably by every city they have thus
far visited, it has been apparent in
many places that the real purpose OF
the commission in coming to this
country is not fully understood.

SAN ANTONIO, Tex, Oct. 17.-Presi-
dent Tafts travels brought him to the
far south today. After twenty-four
hours of continuous journeying from Ell
Paso he arrived here at 1870 o'clock p.
m. and was given a cheering welcome.
After being received by the city Of
ficials, the president was driven to the
hotel with an escort of cavalry and
later in the evening he proceeded to
Fort Sam Houston, where he assisted
in the dedications and accepted on be-
half of the government the chapel
which had been erected by the citizens
of San Antonio.
Tomorrow morning the president will
lay the corner stone of the nearly COM
pleted chapel, review the troops sta
toned at Fort Sam Houston, and re-
turning to the city will make an out
door address from a stand in Alamo
place. He will leave in the afternoon
for Gregory, near Corpus Christi, to
pass four days on the ranch of his
brother, Charles P. Taft.
The presidents train was one of the
fourteen specials running into San
Antonio ten minutes apart.
Most of the trains We're filled with
troops returning to Fort Sam Houston
from duty at the meeting Of President
Taft and President Diaz.
Dedicates Chapel
The president accepted and dedicated
the chapel at Fort Sam Houston to-
night in the capacity as commander in
chief of the army. In doing so he
preached his fourth sermon of the trip.
Among those who participated were
Bishop Johnson of the Episcopal
church, Rev. Samuel Marks and Rev.
DR.. j. B. CleaVer, president of the Min
listers association of San Antonio.
The president took this as a further
indication of his view that the churches
are growing closer together, on the
common ground of the fatherhood of
God and the brotherhood of man. He
also complimented the work of the
regular army. In his speech at Del
Rio, the president said;
"It is encouraging to go through the
country and find out how much has
been done by the energy and enterprise
of the people with conditions that seem
very discouraging at first. This west
ern trip has impressed me deeply with
the Importance of irrigation. We are
eXhausting the land Of the east and the
high price of the farm products, and
everything of that kind is explained by
the fact that We are using up most of
the land. Unless we can extend our
territory by making that which has
heretofore been a desert useful we are
up against it,"

Now comes the sure announce ment that Judge Sloan will be our next governor to succeed Governor Kibby whose term of office expires soon. It is most likely that Mir. T. C. Job of Pres colt will succeed Judge Sloan on the bench in this judicial district. There has been much favorable comment on the appointment of Judge Sloan to the governorship and the newspapers of both par ties throughout the territory are saying n,ce things about him. He is too well known in this part of the territory to need any com. ments on our part. He has made an able and impartial judge and will no doubt be just as well liked as governor.

A few days ago while crossing the railroad track near the sec tion-house, James Scorse was attacked and severely bitten on the leg by vicious dog. It was most fortunate for him that a doctor was on hand at the time He immediately had the wound dressed and 1t was at ffnst thought that no bad results would follow the bite. Later the wound became painful and badly swollen, and there was danger of blood poisoning He is much better at the present writingand will most likely suffer no further trouble. It is needles to state that the dog died a sudden and violent death, caused by stand ing i'll front of a gun when it went off.

It is reported that the new style of hat has reached Joseph city. A young man and his wife placed an order with an eastern mail order house, he for canvas fishing boat and she for the new style of ladies' hat. In some manner the tags became changed and he got the hat and the wife got the boat. The joke of the matter is that he now goes a fishing in the hat and she wears the boat on her head. As neither one has discovered the error they are both happy. As usual, the lady is the envy of all the other women in Joseph City.

At the invitation of the fruit in
spector of Umatilla county, Fruit In
spector c. L. Whitney, of this city will
give a practical demonstration on
spraying and pruning of fruit trees next
Wednesday at 1 o'clock in one of the
Freewater orchards. On Friday, Mr.
Whitney will give another exhibition

fruit in Waitsburg, at 10 o'clock.
Spraying is well under way in the
city says the inspector and for the
most part people are doing good work
in spraying. In speaking of the city
ordinance now before the city council
relative to spraying, the inspector
said, "The council should by all means
pass the ordinance at their meeting
next Tuesday night. If they don't,
the season will have been too far ad-
vanced to any good this year." Ac-
cording to Mr.. Whitney, it is matter
that needs immediate attention so that
thorough and proper work can be done
this year.
Since the Commercial club has stood
back of Mr. Whitney in the matter of
deputies, the city deputy has been at
work. The Waitsburg deputy COM

JOHNSON'S MONEY
WATTS FOR JEFF
BLACK CHAMPION HAS S. 600
POSTED TO SHOW HE is
WILLING.
Big Boilermaker Will Not Say What
Course He Is Going to Take
But Trains Hard.

CHICAGO, March 22-The match
between Jack Johnson and Stanley
Ketchel is off.
Champion Jack Johnson has refused
to negotiate longer with the middle
weight champion. According to agree
ment between Johnson and Manager
Willis Britt for Ketchel, the middle
weight lighter was to have $4,000 posted
by noon today This Ketchel failed to
do. Stanley put up $1,000 the night he
talked with Johnson over the Hearst
news service leased wire between Chi
cago and New York, but failed to post
the other $4,000. Johnson had all of
his $4,000 posted Friday afternoon.
Johnson believes that Ketchel and
Britt only are attempting to use him
for advertising purposes and declares
he will have nothing further to do
with Them that Ketchel had a chance
to fight for the heavyweight title,
passed it up and that he will never
get another one.
But Johnson has not taken his money
down. So eager is the champion to get
into actual combat in defense of his
