the authors probably mean the con-

FRISCO LAUGHS At
Bic HOAX
WIRELESS" PRESS AGENT DE-
NEWSPAPERS - ASSOCIATED
PRESS DENIES 1T BIT.

San Francisco, May 5.-This city
is laughing over the clever press
agent stunt" of wireless telegraph
stock seller who put out story of
an unknown woman who for 80
years held a bunch of stock in the
Bell Telephone company which she
did not know was worth more than
"a dollar or two" and which turned
out to be worth over a million dol
lars" The wireless agent approached
the woman, so the story was told,
with a view of selling her stock in
the wireless corporation The woman
replied, Never again, I was stung
80 years ago when I bought $500
worth of telephone stock and you
cannot sell me anything
"Wher is your stock?" asked the
wireless man.
''In an old trunk"
Get it; it is worth millions said
the wireless man.
The search followed. The stock
was unearthed. 1T is worth $1,70O,-
000," said the wireless man, who
found himself heir to fortune be-
cause of his sagacity in telling the
woman that she was not a "chump"
when she invested in new scheme
--(Iike the wireless)
Fine boost, fine argument for the
wireless. But the people tumbled.
One newspaper bit and the others are
now giving it the laugh. The story
was sold at space rates to several
gullible newspapers, but wise ones"
refused to bite. 1t did not carry on

and that concern denies that it ever
went out with their sanction. The
United Press association also dis
claims credit for the hoax

MONTANA LAND OPENED

The United States surveyor gen.
erals Office has been moving rapidly
in the matter of surveys during the
past few months. and it is now an
nounced that, within the next few
days-in all obability-word will
be received at the Miles City, Mont,
land office that more than 70 addi
tional townships in the northern part
of Dawson county in that state are
open for filings.
This is what is generally known as
1.-The Redwater country" and in past
years it has been one of the finest
cattle. horse and sheep ranges in the
west. Much of the land. however.
is very desirable for dry farming,
and in time much of it can doubtless
be reclaimed by small, private irri-
CATION projects.
Up to the present time there have
been comparatively few settlers going
to that section of the country, for
the very reason that it was unsur-
veyed, or that the surveys had not
been accepted; and the "suatters
right" does not, as rule, appeal to
the man who is anious to locate a
permanent home.
The population Of the Redwater
country has, however, been continu-
ally though gradually growing. A
movement is now on foot to increase
the mail facilities of that section by
establishing a new route from either
Circle or Adams to Poplar. with post
offices at the Henry Hilger and Hop
kins & Paxton ranches. Petition to
| this effect has been made to Wash
ington. and the settlers hope for early
action.

JUDGE BURKE FOR
SENATE
1T is SAID THAT THERE Is A
STRONG SENTIMENT IN HIS
FAVOR-PILES WILL HAVE
TROUBLE.

Seattle, May 5.-If the political
game as it stands today is played out
according to the usual rules, King
county will have a nice large bunch
of candidates for the United States
senate to succeed Senator Piles
None of them, except John E. Hum
phries. have announced that they will
run, but they are as busy as bees,
and if Mr.. Piles wants to succeed him
| self he will have to put some ginger
into the King county end of his
fight. There have been rumors for
some time that Mr.. Piles will not
make the race for the senate again
unless the people of his home county
demand it, but will retire and permit
| himself to go down in senatorial his
tory as "one-termer'
The press of the state has chron-
| icled from time to time the buzzing
of the senatorial bee in the bonnets
Of several King county men, and
others, but there are yet some who
have not come forth into the news
paper limelight. The latest King
county offering is Judge Thomas
Burke, lawyer and former territorial
| judge. He is president of the Rainier
club of Seattle, has a fortune esti-
mated at 100000, is a student of
international law, and anxious to
break into the United States senate.
AS present his chief occupation is
globe trotting. When at home his
friends and distinguished visitors.
He has beautiful home in a rich
section and is president of the most
fashionable club in the city. Judge
Burke really would like to be senator,
but has not announced his candidacy.
and if Mr.. Piles enters the race, may
not do so at all. Judge Burke is what
you would call a receptive candidate;
he is perfectly willing to run if there
is chance of his being elected Nat
urally he does not want to make the
race and go down to defeat.
If he goes into the race Judge
Burke knows pretty we'll what to ex-
pect. He ran a daily newspaper once
and lost fortune trying to make it
a financial success. After he sold
the paper he turned around and made
another fortune. He never returned
to the newspaper business. Judge
Burk knows that it will cost monsy
| to be a senatorial candidate, but he
has the money and plenty of it. 1t
/ is true that he has always been
known as gold democrat, but what's
that between friends?
To newspaper men who seek to in
terview him as to his intention of
running for the senate, Judge Burke
modestly declines to talk. There
seems no doubt at the present time
but that he will be candidate if the
political weather does not undergo
sudden change. In point of ability
Judge Burke is recognized as one of
the big ment of the Pacific coast and
he will have many powerful friends
to support his candidacy if he seeks
to enter the senate.

WILL MAKE GREAT
MISTAKE
INSPECTOR DARLINGTON CON.
SIDERS THE INSPECTION OF
FRUIT THE MOST IMPORTANT
PART OF HIS DUTIES.

By eliminating the inspection of
the fruit at the shipping points |
feel that the county commissioners
are making very great mistake. II
any one branch Of the inspection
service is more important than any
other branch I would say the inspec-
ton of the fruit at the shipping
points is the most important.
There are three main objects in
the inspection of the fruit. The first
and original object of the law was
the prevention of the spread of the
pests.
The second and more important
object is the protection of our repu-
tation for clean and first class fruit
in every market that it enters. Let
us make a few shipments of wormy
and otherwise infected stuff and see
where our reputation goes. Shall
we follow Walla Walla's example
let everything go and then go beg
ging for a market? The reports
from Walla Walla last fall were that
they were shOveling their apples into
box cars because they could not gel
enough for them to pay to pack
them.
The third and possibly the most
important object of the inspection OF
the fruit is the reaction it has upon
the grower when he has a lot Of fruit
condemned When he finds that he
cannot market infected stuff he i'm
mediately gets busy, cleans up, and
trys to raise something that he car
market.
Mr.. Pitcher. in his interview yes
terday, stated that it is a farce to try
to watch the shipping and that it il
impossible for such a force as We
had last year to see more than one
tenth part of the fruit. 1t is a fac
that we probably do not open more
| than one-tenth the number of boxes
but it is our aim to open few boxe!
of every growers shipment. We have
notes on about every orchard in the
county, and besides this every grow
er soon establishes his own reputa
ton with us, so that We know who
to watch most closely
Mr. Pitcher also argues every
grower should know enough to put
his fruit up clean and we'll packed
/ also believe that every grower
should know this and | believe that
most of them do know it, but | be-
lieve that l know enough about hui
man nature to know that there are a
very small per cent of the growers
but what will stuff off thir culls in
some way if they think their neigh
bors are doing it.
Cutting out the inspection of the
fruit is killing the goose that lays
the golden egg.
Why not do away with the inspec-
ton service entirely? That would
save $4,000 instead of $1,000.

District Horticultural Inspector.
