Flies by the BushGI
Death by Machinery
A Flytrap That Catches Bushel of
Flies in Twenty-four Hours.

North Yakima, Wash, June a.
The state board of health is
about to install as an experiment
in a Yakima orchard a fly trap
guaranteed to catch a bushel of
flies every twenty-four hours.
If successful it will be installed
in other places. Flies are thick
in the orchards during harvest
time, attracted by the decaying
fruit on the ground, and are a
menace to health. The State
board will try to enlist the coop
Grafton of the ranchers in getting
rid of them.
A campaign of education for
better health conditions, embrace
ing the territory between Siam
pede Tunnel and Kennewick, will
be inaugurated within the next
two weeks under the auspices of
the State board of health, DR..
Philip Frank, of North Yakima,
and other members will give il
Illustrated lectures on typhoid fe-
yer, its causes and prevention, at
every station on the Northern Pa
cific between these points. The
water supply of each Of these
places will be investigated. The
lecturers will also give some time
to a discussion of tuberculosis.

ATLANTIC and PACIFIC
short ON HORSES
The Middle West Is Supplying the
East and the West With Their
Fine Roadsters.

1t is one of the amazing facts of
live stock breeding in the United
States that with twenty million
horses the American farmer can
not raise enough high class
draught and carriage horses to
supply the demand at highest
prices current To-. animals of any
market type. The big cities Of
the country, from the Atlantic to
the Pacific, are drawing on the
Middle West for both Daughters
and coachers, the farmers of
neither the east nor the far west
cutting any figure in the situation.
At the Union Stock Yards a few
days ago DR.. Frye, a buyer for the
Seattle market, paid $685. for a
black Percheron gelding to ship
to the Pacific northwest, and pur-
chased a large number of other
draughters at prices ranging up
to $40. Metropolitan dealers
have sold carriage and saddle
horses this season to buyers from
San Francisco, Seattle, Winnipeg
and various other distant sections
which ought to be selling carriage
horses in New York instead of
buying them there.

struction of bottling works to sup
ply the demand for the waters
from abroad; the Inauguration of
light and power and other works
necessary for the growing city.
These are among the things that
are so soon to be that they are al
ready in the air. Then the open
ing of the New Sutherland
Springs Hotel, announcement, of
which may be made any hour,
must be considered, for this, after
all, is the real factor that is to
count in the greatly accelerated
movement of all that concerns
this Wonderful Health Resort.
With this hotel open to guests
there will be a new atmosphere
surrounding the springs, and
there will be a rush to invest that
is not now possible, for there are
no proper accommodations for the
men of leisure and wealth who de-
sire to enquire into the PROPOSE
tons for investment now present
ed. This month will see that ho-
tel filled and enquiries after prop
critics that will push townsite sales
to the limit. This is the time to
step in before this increased en-

Which Gets THE Lemon?
Cash OR conscience
When Conscience and Cash Come
Into Conflict IslWhere the Real
Man Shows His Colors.

A newspaper if it has any
brains, conscience and muscle
back of it, must continually de-
eide between doing its duty and
injuring its pocket. In any posi-
ton but that of editor the public
is able to separate the individual
home from the collective citizen.
But if an editor does not please
them, it is at his pockets they aim
Thus it is the newspapers learn
who their friends are. The man
who reads a newspaper and adj
mires it all the year around, yet
gives his business support to some
other concern, islnot a friend to
the former newspaper. Admira-
ton alone will not run news
paper. There are 700 many men
who expect an editor to slave in
defense of their pet notions and
hobbies, advocate their views
against the strongest opposition,
and coolly withhold their business
support, by which alone a country
newspaper can live.
Talk about paper having q
public duty to perform and an ed
itor having to work for his princi-
pie is cheap when others stand
back and extend a lukewarm neu.

their properties to all who have

An Unfortunate Ring
and Suspicious Girl
Sent Her Sweetheart to Jail 2 Years
and Now She Is to Marry Him.

Jacksonville, Ind, June a.
Miss Mollie Lienheart said today
she would devote the remainder
of her life to showing Elijah Fiel-
den, whom she sent for two years
to prison on a false charge, that
she believes he is the chest man
on earth" She will marry Fiel-
den June 20 and thus will be
picked up the broken threads of
a romance that was interrupted
twenty years ago by the fateful
loss of the engagement ring which
had been given to her by Fielder.
Circumstances pointed to her
sutton as the thief and so strong
was the evidence that her charge
resulted in his being sent to pri-
son. After Fielder was released
from the penitentiary he and Miss
Lienheart never spoke to one an
other.
Two weeks ago when the basin
of spring near the Lienheart
home was being cleaned out, the
ring was found, where it prob
ably had been dropped by Miss
Lienheart when she was a girl.
Miss Lienheart was overjoyed
when the ring was restored to her
and she realized that Fielder,
whom she had loved despite their
tragic separation, was not crimi-
nal.
When she was seen yesterday
her eyes shone with happiness.
"For all those twenty years"
she said. II had felt there was
something wrong about the loss
of the ring and the dreadful con-
sequences to Mr., Fielden. Even
though | believed him guilty, l
prayed every night that some
thing would happen to prove his
innocence. When the ring was
brought to me my first words
were: Thank Cod
81 would marry him now even
though he were a pauper. | shall
freely give my sincere devotion to
him for the remainder of my
life. I shall marry the best man
on earth and he does not stand
before the world as a criminal
either"
Fielden entered prison twenty
years ago June 20. On June 20
this year, therefore, he and Miss
