RANCH CHANGES HANDS.
V. H. Rodgers Sells 280 Acres Wheat
Land Near Waitsburg.

WAITSBURG, Wash, July 81
Especial )-One of the finest rancheS
in this part of the country changed
hands this week. V. H. Rodgers sold
$50 acres of wheat land near Waits
burg to Mr. Bailey. a farmer OF Dry
Creek. The land brought $50 an
acre or $4,000 The purchaser gets
this years crop. The land is all I'M
der cultivation and is one of the best
producing pieces OF farm soil in the
valley
Since harvest commenced there has
been little activity in the realty market
but real estate men predict big bus
mess after the crops are harvested.
Indications are for one of the most
prosperous years in the history of the
country and realty accordingly is ex-
pected to be in good demand at prices
considerably in advance of those of a
year ago.

A Lesson Learned.

AS the result of fishing in the Coppei
river last Thursday which is closed
stream. John Smails and Ed Dooley
were both tried in justice court and
fined the sum of SO each. The car
in which they made the trip to the
river broke down and while endeavOr-
ing to repair it a rustic came along
and informed them that the stream
was filled with fish. Tackle was i'm
mediately produced and when in the
MIDI e of the sport a deputy sheriff
appeared on the scene and placed the
fishermen under arrest. The fines
were paid.

 Evansville, tIndiana) Special to Louis
 vile Courier Journal
 The big German day celebration which began yesterday came to close tonight with thousands of visitors m the City from Southern Indiana. south ern Illinois and Western kentucky' Governor Thomas k. Marshall and Mrs Marshall, who arrived last night 10 review the big parade, returned to Indianapolis at 12:4U o'clock this after. noon.
 It had been arranged for Governor Marshall to make an address at Gal . wins Park this afternoon, but press ing business forced him to return To Indianapolis.
 A public reception was rendered Governor Marshall and Mrs. Marshall at the New Vendome Hotel this morn- inyJ from 10 to Il o'clock, and at II o'clock Governor Marshall made short address. He paid high tribute to the German citizens. stating they are law-abiding people and love the Constitution of their adopted land. They do not believe that the Cover nor of the State should stick his nose into the State Legislature and the Su- preme Court of the State, added Gov ernor Marshall, and in this they are right. They do not want to see their Goyernor going about the State telling people what to do and how to i've and i am sure they are right in this. too. They believe in attending to their own affairs strictly"
 Governor Marshall said the people had elected him for the job of Cover nor and he did not propose to strut about the State giving people adVlce about their morals.

AN EARLY FLYER.

The aviators of today do not. of course. claim that they were the in- ventors of balloons and the like, for such claim would be without founda- contrived and constructed machines that enable people to fly. but no doubt many of them will be surprised to learn that they are ante-dated nearly sixty years by a man who thought he had 1t all planned out
 It was in December. 1850, that Sem ator stephen A. Douglas, the famous Illinois statesman who afterwards made 1t warm for Abraham Lincoln in sented to the Senate a memorial from John Wise, of Pennsylvania, who wanted Congress to assist him in his ambitious efforts to conquer the at mosphere. In his petition he stated that he had devoted sixteen years to the study of aeronautics-aviatio they call it these days-and was sure he had 1t all mapped out. He also said he had written book on the subject which had met with great fla vor from the scientists; and what was more to the purpose, declared that he had made at least one hundred aerial flights.
 Here. apparently, was something worth considering. Ills proposition was that if Congress would grant him bonus of twenty thousand dollars he would build balloon one hundred feet in height with lifting capacity of at least sixteen tons. Here was a chance for Congress to assist an en- thusiastic experimentor who proposed if money could be obtained Here too. was given the opportunity for our country to get ahead of the rest of creation and add one more to the laureIs of Uncle Sam.
 But Congress failed to look kindly on the project. It was not as easy to get appropriations then as it is now The statesmen of threescore years ago were more wary, and were not ready 10 vote money out of the treasury on what they considered fiighty propo- sition Money. public money. Is easy now. and there's little difficulty about setting 1t if one knows how to go about it. The Senators made ponder lus fun of the proposition. and thougl

A Misguided ID. D.

Russell 1(eBlSlcI.
 A prominent minister of one of the churches, speaking Of the recent anti amendment meeting. is quoted as hav- ing said
 "Just imagine yourselves to be of the opposition and some of Us going out to Find a preacher to open the meet ing with prayer and if we did find him, what would he say? Then imagine me going home to my family after taking part in such a meeting. No. sir. We believe in God.
 It Is true that the great body of fair minded church members should not be he'd responsible for what this man said, and charitable and reasonable peo- ole will not do so They will simply regard it as the rawlings of a fanatic, as 1t appears to be. Surely no really sane man would so far forget himself as to give ptterance to such an un- warranted expression.
 But. while the church as whole should not be held responsible for his utteranre. the cause he represents Is going to feel the effects of his untime- iv and unwarranted insinuation. When ever men get to the point where thev are intolerant of the honest convtc- tions of others who are just as good. who are just as Godly in their daily walks as they are. the cause they ad- vocate necessa rily suffers.

BROOKS LAwnENcE's PLATFORM.

A well known citizen of Alabama and a leader in church affairs and in terested in the welfare of the State sends The Advertiser the following analysis of the platform of Brooks Lawrence. and naturally of all others who are standing with him in this contest:
 Rev Brooks Lawrence's Platform dnferred from his words and con duct):

Mir. Douglas rebuked them. and told them that the matter deserved serious consideration, they refused to look on 1t as anything but joke. The memorial was finally referred to the committee on naval affairs. and The Hartford Courant thus refers to 1t:
 We have not found any further mention of John Wise in the con gressional Globe" Presumably the naval committee pigeonholed his me- me- thought, But whats the matter with the .Wrights and the other young ar ,nav,gators ,, giving a thought and s,ra z ner (or forefiier) Of theirs who was Congress for his little s2OoeO appro,, prfation before they were born, ana of balloon that never came pack It's fate--and John Wise's--is one or Lake Michigan's secrets
 Thus presumably ended the ambi- tious dream of A man who might have been the first aviator It is true that a balloon of such proportions would have stood little show in even a mod crate wind. but if Congress had help ed him Mir. Wise might have suc- ceeded in really building a machine that would fly. He got neither help nor encouragement, and the presump- tion is that he gave it up in despair and disgust There Is no telling what might have happened if he had got ter the money asked for. but he didn't get 1t, and that seems to have ended It.

NOT A FAIR STATEMENT.

In the September number of The Citizen, Brooks Lawrence's Anti-Sa- loon League paper. Rev. W. B. Crump- ton writes this misleading paragraph:
 "To stop agitation it was put fin the Constitution that Montgomery was and should be forever the Capital City. Who used that argument? The Mont gomery Advertiser especially. Did the agitation cease? It did. It was new er mentioned from 1901 to 1909"
 Montgomery Is not mentioned In the Constitution as the Capital City. It is not declared in the Constitution that Montgomery should be forever the Capital, but only that an act of the Legislature changing the capital would require a majority vote of the electors to make 1t valid.
 The Constitution of 1901 In this sec s.cn Is copied verbatim from that of 1875, except the term Legislature is -sased for that of General Assembly. See Constitution of 1875 Art. ". Sec. ss.
