A WONDERFUL PAINTING.
Has Been Viewed by 100000 People
and Hundreds of Sermons Preach
ed About 1t.

The SHADOW of the Cross" is prob
ably the most discussed work ever
produced by any artist and is to be
seen on exhibition in the Swedish
building at the exposition. The ar
fist, Henry Hammond Ali, had no in
tention of making his painting a mys-
terry, but conditions over which he had
no control caused it to become such,
and no chemist has so far been able
to account for 1t.
The picture of the Saviour. View
ed in full light it is of as plendid but
not unusual type. With the lights
turned off and in utter darkness, the
miracle materialiZes. From the
clouds in the background there ema-
mates a vivid glow that throws out
the figure of the Master in silhou-
cite. Around the head there appears
a luminous halo and athwart the
whole picture and behind the figure
falls the shadow of the cross.
The picture is insured for 100000
and has been viewed by 100000 peo-
pie and 300 sermons have been
preached about it.

RECORD GOLD SHIPMENT
Steamship Brings i'm Largest Ship
mcnt of Precious Mctal-Usc Slings
to Put Rich Cargo Ashore.

SEATTLE, June 19.-SiX tons and a
half of yellow gold. $3,200,00O worth
of virgin metal, the largest single
shipment ever brought out from
Alaska, was unloaded from the steam
ship jefferson, of the Alaska Steam
ship Company this morning. OF that
sum s2,SO0,000 was sent out by mail
and about 100000 by express, coming
from Fairbanks, Circle, Dawson and
other rich camps of the interior. The
gold was accompanied by several
wealthy mine operators with thou
sands in their clothes, who have been
inside through the winter and have
come out to attend the Alaska Yukon
Pacific Exposition.
Receiving less consideration appar-
emily than the trunks and suit cases
of the passengers, the sacks of gold
were put ashore at Pier this morning
by the sling load, only small num-
Der watching the rich cargo discharg-
ing, and many of them not realizing
that the dirty leather mail pouches
were filled with the yellow metal.
W
In pokes of dust and bricks the
rich treasure was shipped from the
various camps along the Tanana and
Yukon on the steamboat Victorian, of
the White Pass & Yukon fleet. The
spring cleanup in Central Alaska and
the Yukon territory started long be-
fore the river was free of ice and the
dumps were relieved of an unusually
rich burden this spring before the first
boat was able to feel its way against
the ice toward Lake LIE Barge. On
the Victorian a heavy armed guard
kept watch night and day to prevent
, any possibility of robbery. At White
Horse the gold was shipped by rail
: to Skagway, thence to be taken by the
jefferson and rushed to this port.
After singing 100 heavy sacks of
gold onto the dock the consignm ent
was taken to the postoffice in a doz-
en- mail wagons which were waiting
at the dock. There were~some extra
men from the offh;e to guard the
treasure, but the weight of the pouch
es, one of which two men could bare
! ly lift made robbery almost an i'm
| possibility. The gold after delivery
at the post office will be forwarded to
the mint through the assay office in
, this city.

BOATS AND CARLiNE
FOR STE|NWEG PARK
". l.. Stcinwcg Adds TO the Mosquito
Fleet and Grants Right of Way
To Street Car Company.

w. l.. Stcinwcg is getting together a
great fleet at Sumach park He has
added another canoe and a boat to
the tlotilla. The mosquito contingent
now comprises four canoes and 10
boats and on nice Sunday there are
all too few to meet the demands made
upon the watermen. The watercourse
at the park is steadily growing in d.
mansions and in time will furnish a
considerable sheet of water for pleas
ure purposes.
The street railway is to be extend
ed to the grounds just as soon as the
rails can be procured for the purpose.
Mr.. Steinweg has granted a right of
way to the Transportation company
for depot some 200 feet from the
entrance. He and Manager Richards
of the Transportation company have
been greatly disappointed because OF
the fact that it will be impossible to
construct the extension at once. The
difficulty of procuring rails is very
great all over the country at this time
and hence there will be consderaD ole
delay in filling the local order. This
will prevent the entrance of the line
to the park until sometime in August
The park is enjoying an increasing
patronage.

BARRYMORE TO
CUT THIS TOWN
Manager Schafcr Receives Telegram
Telling Him That Famous Actress
Won't Play in Condemned House.

Ethel Barrymore will be in North
from Friday next, if the difficulties be-
tween the city and the owner of the
theatre building regarding the build
ing and the city building laws have
at that time been complied with Man
ager Schaefer on Monday received a
telegram announcing that Miss Barry
more will not play in a condemned
theatre and telling him to cancel her
engagement to appear here, or rather
to take no steps towards publicity,
the actress having done the cancel
ling by her refusal to play in a build
ing which does not comply with the
laws.
Expects an Adjustment.
Mr. Schaefer is in hope that an ad-
justment will be arrived at. The
great cause of complaint against the
theatre is in connection with the
heating plant. At this time of the
year, when such a plant is not used,
this objection is removed. In addi-
ton arrangements have been made
plant of the Central Heating company
when that concern undertakes its
| construction work in this town. This
is definite so far as that phase of the
theatre is concerned and shows that
the management is ready to meet the
difficulty.
Another cause of complaint is that
I1,. .,g,l, ,.t.,
curtain. These curtains, while not
difficult to procure cannot be had at
moments notice, according to Man
ager Schaefer and ne has not been al
lowed time to comply since his first
notice. He thinks that the notice of
condemnation, in other words, was
posted hastily.
Building Inspector Wise has sug-
gested some minor changes and i'm
provements with regard to fire appar-
atus and similar precautions in case
of fire and these will be met.
Expect Cort's Man Today.
owner Cort of the building will be
represented in North Yakima today by
one of his business men when such ar
rangements will be entered into as can
be mutually agreed upon between him
and Mr.. Wise. In behalf of Mr.. Cort
it is pointed out that the expenditure
of a large sum of money here is not
justified by the returns received in the
past year from the theatre. North
Yakima he does not find to be a good
show town. His net income last year
was $1,000 from all the business of
the local house, which is so small as
to be scarcely worth protecting with
large investment. Ellensburg. on

ence there of a large number of Mil

DENIES HIS ROLL IS
n CIGARETTE
Prominent PrOsscr Man, Nabbed, Has
Unique Dcfcnse-First Arrest
Under New Law.

PROSSER, Wash, June 10. r.
McKeand, president of the Benton
County Abstract and Title company,
one of the best known business men
of this city, was arrested this after
noon while in the office of the county
treasurer by Deputy Sheriff r. A.
Mullenger for smoking a cigarette. 1t
was the first arrest under the new law.
McKeand, when brought before
Judge w. r. Masan, said that accord
ing to Webster's dictionary what he
was smoking was not a cigarette. He
said that the law was being tested
now in Bellingham and that he
thought prosecution might we'll wait
for the time being.
Sheriff Mcneil said he was willing
to have the proceedings stayed, but
the prosecuting attorney wished to
look up the law on the subject. To
guarantee his temperance McKeand
at this junction maze the novel offer
to roll and smoke another so-called

The court continued the case till
Monday for the benefit of Mr.. Nc
Gregor, deputy prosecuting attorney.

prosecution may be stayed until the
Bellingham test case is settled.
Webster's definition of cigarette
is: "A little cigar; a little fine to-
bacco rolled in paper"

RANCHERS KICK
ON GAME LAWS
SAY They ARE NO! ENFORCED
Complaints from Various Sources are
Made at the Herald Office of
Acts of Offenders.

Complaints are made to the Herald
frequently, some by letter and some
by visitors at the office. that the game
ministered and that the fact has be-
come so generally known that pot
hunters are out in the open and
shooting without fear of detection.
The place to make such complaints is
with the county commissioners, and
they should be made there. The COM
missioners are like all bodies of that
kind; they pay little attention to mat
ters which are not brought directly to
their attention. When they appoint
the game warden they tell him his
duty and threaten to discharge him
if it is not done. Usually that is the
end of it until time for another APP
pointment If, however, those who
| know, or believe that the laws are
| not being enforced, will write to the
commissioners they are more likely
to have something done than If their
complaints merely get into the papers
| Ranchcr Makes Complaint.
A caller at the Herald office Mon
day said he represented himself and
a number of neighbors who had asked
him to see If something can not be
done. He says that south the Mckee
bridge, about from a mile to two OIL
| three miles. there is considerable
shooting each week day and great
deal each Sunday. Sunday last he
says that at least dozen people with
guns and rifles were there throughout
the entire day.
Another complaint comes from the
Ahtanum, where it is reported by q
rancher that his horse came home
with several gunshot wounds in its
body administered by a man, known
to him, who was one of party OF
automobile hunters who were shoot
ing through that section despite the
practically all game.
Breeding Birds are Killed.
Other complaints have come from
farther west in the county from
ranchers who declare that the shoot
ing is constant and that breeding
birds have suffered a great deal, many
pairs being broken up. Letters have
also been received from the west side
of the hills which indicate that COM
plants have been made at Olympia
and at Bellingham of non-enforcc-
ment in this county of the laws relat-
ing to fish. One or two local sports
men have been written to by the au-
thorities asking about it.
The county is paying from the fund
received from hunting licenses $50 q
month to a warden. 1t has been
pointed out time and again by the
sportsmen that there is no protection
to be procured from $50 a month
man. In other words, it is the opin-
ion of some of the sportsmen that the
present money is wasted. The sug-
gestion has been made that as the
| fund is strong one a strong salary
be paid an efficient man who will at
least run good bluff on the offend
| erS even if he doesn't establish a rec
ord by forcing a conviction.

through the west of the trade extern
sion delegation of the Chicago cham

says:
Five hundred dollars an acre
seemed a tIifle high, but at North
Yakima they took the committee
down to the chamber of commerce
and brought out sworn affidavits. Out
of curiosity L copied some of them
There was one signed by J. Van Pey-
ton, to the effect that he had cleared
$1430 from each of two acres of
peaches; Alexander Burnham had
cleared $3.50 from each of two acres
planted in peaches, and w. l. Hulk

don't presume to say how true these
aftidavits are. But they We're affidav-
its, and you always have to pay GER
tain amount of respect to an affidavit.
After reading these figures we
were ready to sympathize with a rail-
road land agent who came among us.
If he had come on the train at Fargo
he would have told his plaintive tale
to cold, unheeding ears. But after we
had passed North Yakima we were
ready to believe anything. and we
mingled our tears with those of the
unhappy land agent.
Hard Luck Tale.
I'm up against it, said the sad
land agent as he lighted a cigar and
settled back to tell his truthful tale
L think you've all seen enough now
to appreciate my position. l used to
be press agent for a circus and then
for theatrical company doing one
night stands, and then | was advertis-
ing manager for big wholesale
house. l used to get tired of lying.
used to wonder if l could get into a
business where I wouldn't have to lie.
Gentlemen, I'll tell you a strange
thing. I've got into a business where
the truth is SO wonderful that | have
to lie, not to deceive people, but to
make them believe me. Yes, sir, con-
slider my unhappy position. 1 don't
dare tell the truth about this country.

land is worth, how cheaply it can be
bought and how soon it can be made
to pay and how much money can be
made out of it, the number of boxes
