ACRES OF DIAMONDS.

For over 20 years minister OF
Philadelphia has delivered from the
lecture platforms and throughout
rhe Chautauqua circuits of the Coun-
rry a lecture entitled "Acres of Dia-
nonds." In it he has sought to en-
nhasize the old homily that riches may
die at our very feet while we search
for ii in realms afar.
For the past decade the people of
the Kittitas valley have worked for
and dreamed of a High Line ditch.
Now their dreams. their aspirations
and their hopes have some prospect
Of being realized. The government
has recognized their claims and ten
tative agreement has been reached
covering the preliminary work Incl

little waiting, but success at last.

Did you ever take a walk in the
early hours before dawn, when the
first light streaks the eastern sky like
the aurora borealis? A cock rises
from his perch and voices the coming
day. His crow is answered from an
other roost in the distance. Then a
cool breeze fans your face and the
streaks of dawn become just little
more pronounced. Early risers appear
on their way to the days work, d
milk wagon rattles along the road and
finally the sun breaks over the hills
in the full splendor of broad daylight
Soon everyone is awake to the days

people would have voted for him. The
issue has not changed. Heney has
not changed. Have the people
changed?
1.-The boodlers say that Heney is in
competent. Are we to believe that
they would prefer to be prosecuted by
a competent, rather than an incom-
petent, district attorney? If Heney
is incompetent it is a pity that the
people do not elect more incompe-
tents of that stripe. When the
maligners of General Grant told Lin
coin that Grant was a drunkard the
president asked what brand of
whisky Grant drank. For said he,
1 would like to send few barrels to
some of my other generals For an
incompetent Heney has cut quite a
figure as a prosecutor, in San Fran
cisco and elsewhC~e
Some hon \ people say they are
tired of the prosecution. Do they
think that Heney isn't tired? If he
can stand it the citizen who is not
asked to do anything but vote right
ought to be able to stand it. Some
people grew tired of the Civil war in
the middle of it and cried for peace
at any price. They were mostly the
people that stayed at home and let
heir neighbors do the fighting.
Why all this fuss because some
rich men are being prosecuted? If
thousand poor men We're being prose-
cuted, would the men that are back
ing Fickert come forward to save
them?
THE issue is not Heney against
Fickert, but the impartial enforce
ment of the law. The issue is not
whether certain men under indictment
are guilty, but whether, having been
indicted by a grand jury. they should
be tried precisely as other accused
persons are tried.
I'VE have permitted a group of in
dicted men to build themselves into
a faction which is almost by itself a
political party. BY poisoning public
opinion through a hired press these
men have raised false issues and are
seeking to be acquitted in the court
of public opinion without going to
trial in a court of law.
Shall these indicted men be per-

the party of Cannon until the last
ballot has been counted in the last
contest. The progress1ves may well
bide their time and laugh at the full
mination of the car of the house.
Their time is coming. Cannonism is
merely a survival. The stars in their
courses fight against it, and it is
doomed.
A free, untrammelcd ballot i'm the

The case of Thomas Mccarthy. the

North Yakima, joined the Salvation
Army and then went back to Indiana
TO finish a sentence from which he
had escaped; his pardon by the gov

A young man named Vincent Deck

Indiana would be at the gates-when
they swung open for him, to arres
him for violating his parole from the

renee in the Ohio pen for burglary.

now on a decent life. 1t he doesn't
start now he doesn't see how he can

Other Western Varieties

The success Of an orchard is dependent upon the
judgment displayed in the selection of varieties
the profit paying kind. And profit in fruit growing
means quality. Quality and color are the two
things that the great fruit consuming public pay
their money for. That's certain-you can't deny it.
Increase your orchard profts-do il by planting
the splendid tested special sorts of Stark Trees. Begin
now-don't wait until next season. Plant now
than you would be by waiting months or a year.

experienced fruit men the country over. Better

weeks earlier, reaching the markets when all other
good peaches are scarce and thus commanding high
prices. A great shipping peach surprising liberia.
believe Early liberia is of the best varieties
introduced since the first liberia came. In Early
liberia one has all of the good qualities of Elberta and
the additional feature of early ripenne. When this is
taken into consideration, and when is planted along
with the original Elbera much of the strain and con-
eeson which comes with peach harvest will be greatly
reduced. The shipping will be heightened.

Two car loads of transmission
wire for the Manhattan and Round
Mountain electric power line have
arrived at Millers and the third car
will reach there Sunday. Much of
the telephone wire is already on
hand. The wires will be strung
simultaneously. When the poles are
all in place and well set, a wagon
will start slowly along the line. In
its bed will be five huge reels, three
with transmission cables and two
with telephone wires. These reels
will spin simultaneously, feeding the
three arms of one set of poles and
the two of the other at the same
time. From five to six miles day,
it is expected, will be made in pay
ing out these cables and wires, much
after the manner of ship laying a
cable. Each of the transmission
cables consists of seven strands and
is of exceptional strength. When in
place, the converting station at Mil
lers will be able to send out Juice"
for at least 5000 horsepower into
Manhattan and Round Mountain. A
portable phone will be carried by
the construction gang and when the
boys pitch their camp each night,
they will have their phone right ir
the main tent so as to keep careful
tab over every mile they have cover
ed. The placing of the poles started
this week and the wires should all
have been strung into Manhattan by
May list. The sub-station will be To-
Gated just east of the Lemon mill.

concrete and will contain three liv-
ing rooms in addition to the large
room set aside> for the transformers

The mine is in excellent shape,
