T|0N LOW

1908, TO OCT. 10, 1909, THERE
WAS But SO INCHES OF RAIN
FALL.

The wheat growers IN the Southside
country and the fruit growers in the
Columbia river valley have occasion
to rejoice at the rainfall of the past
two weeks. Local Weather, Observer
George Pitcher states that the rainfall
is badly needed. From October I9.
1908, to October 19. 1909, the pre-
ciiptation for this district amounted
to but SO inches This is far below
the normal. During the twelve to
fifteen years in which records have
been taken of the yearly precipitation
it has averaged Is inches. but this
year 1t was far below the normal and
in order to feel safe for sufficient
water for irrigation and moisture for
the wheat crops great deal of rain
or snow is needed during this win
ter. 1t is estimated that during the
rain Monday night and last night
fully II inches fell. and this is con-
sidered to be of great value to this
section.

Attorney w. NJ. Emerson, repre-
senting the Chelan town council, ap-

action, but is not able to bond enough

we need"
Chelan is able to bond to the
amount of about $500. The bridge

ment of road No. 27 near Monitor

what the change of roads as therein
provided would entail.

NON SUIT BER-
LET LAND
CASE
JUDGE YAKEY DECIDED CASE IN
VOLVING $47, 900 AND LAND
LYING IN GRANT COUNTY
NEAR ADRIAN.

Judge Yakey of Kitsap county, who
has been holding court this week for
Judge Grimshaw, this noon decided
the important and long-standing case
of C. F. Berlet and wife against O..
E. Loving and NJ R. Mcmahon and
their respective wives This suit was
started in Douglas county and was
transferred to this county, and in
volved "a contract for about 5000
acres, of land situated in what is now
Grant county. af
The plaintiffs claimed that on Jam
nary l., 1908, at the time payment
of $1,000 fell due, the defendants
agreed to extend the time of payment
for 80 or so days and Immediately,
upon the next day, sold the land in
volved to the Adrian Irrigation COM
pany, thereby depriving the plaintiffs
of the opportunity of paying the con-
tract and reselling the land, to thier
damage of over 1000. Owing to
the fact that Judge Grimshaw had
advised some of the parties, he was
disqualified to try the case and the
trial has awaited the coming of an
other judge.
Fhe trial was begun yesterday and
at the conclusion of the evidence on
the part of the plaintiffs, the defend
ants, who were represented by Lud-
ingtOn & Kemp and Austin E. Grif-
fiths, moved for a dismissal on the
ground that the alleged extension had
not been made or ratified by the res
pective wives of Loving and Mcmahon
and that in fact there had been no
agreement of extension. and that the
evidence of the plaintiffs failed to
show any agreement. After arguing
the legal points all morning the court
announced his decision, sustaining
the motion of the defendants and dis
missing the action.
1t may be that the case will be ap-
pealed to the supreme court.
The attorneys representing the
plaintiffs were ex-Judge L. H. Pra-
ther, c. G. Pence and George E. Can
field, all of Spokane, and w. o. Parr
of this city. In addition to the array
of lawyers interested in the case,
there was ex-Judge William E. Rich
ardson of Spokane present as an i'm
portant witness; J. NJ. Pierce. of Eph-
rata, and J. E. Keane, of Rock Is
land. Mr.. Griffiths, one of the attor-
neys for the defendants, is from Sc
attic, and is receiving considerable
mention as a possible candidate for
the mayoralty of that city. The case
was important as it involved the
lands which the Adrian. Irrigation Co.
has purchased and has expended large
amounts in bringing water on the
same and planting it to orchard
tracts.

DEFEATED - CHIEF MURPHY
TO RESIGN is REPORT.

New York, Nov 3-Tammany suf-
fered one of the worst defeats of it's
history in the election held yester-
day. With the exception of the cleo
tion of Gaynor for mayor the Tam
many ticket was badly showed under.

test.
Complete returns for mayor show:

COUNCIL
STEPS TO BE INAUGURATED TO
CLEAN OUT SHACKS ON PRIN-
CIPAL BLOCKS - DIX. GIIl-
CHRIST TO SUE CITY.

The meeting of the city council
last night was devoid of any sensa-
tional features. The matter that at
tracted the most interest and caused
the most debate was that of getting
rid of some of the shacks on We
natchee avenue. This matter was
called to the attention OF the coun-
Gil by the application for permit oy
T. H. McGough to remodel the front
of his building occupied by the Fern
Candy Kitchen. This is made neces-
sary by the regrade if the building
is to be occupied. Permission was
asked for permit to cut out the front
in order to allow of the construction
of steps leading into the building.
Engineer Ward also had an ap-
plication for the remodeling OF the
Lillis building, recently occupied as
a real estate Office but a portion OF
which is to be occupied by H. b.
Cassidy with a stock of electrical
supplies. Both these permits were
granted but the city attorney and
city engineer were instructed by the
council to look into the matter very
carefully and see if some means can
not be devised for condemning a
number of the shacks along Wenat-
chez avenue either on the grounds OF
the buildings being unsafe or un-
sanitary. The feeling of the mem
bers of the council is that as long

A FEW POINTERS

It pays to be truthful, even in pol
itics. There is a reaction some day,
Making big Negroes out of small
ones is not the policy of The Bee.
Pulling chestnuts out of the fire
for other people is bad journalism.
Some people have an idea that
typeSetting is a cheap trade and that
it costs nothing to set it.
The great fault with some colored
orators is, they are not satisfied un-
less you give them a column or two,
and they hardly say thank you.
A man who is a subscriber and
owes for his paper will bring you a
column to publish and becomes of
Tended if you ask him to pay up.
It is a bad policy to play double
tricks and deception on your friends.
Some day it will be too late to ex-
plain.
If your conscience is clear you
will sleep well.
Don't tell people that you are earn
ig more money than you do, because
your friend will undoubtedly want to
borrow some day.
When you ask favors you should
grant a few.
Never desert a true friend for sill
yer or gold, until death do you part.
Never envy another because he is
making greater success than yourself
Never boast of what you own. II
shows bad raising.
Don't believe what is always said to
you.

IF SUGAR BoILs TOO LONG.
Add a Few Tablespoonful OF Cold /
Water and Boil Again.

Boiling sugar and water for ices, or
icing is a somewhat ticklish opera
ton, as every cook knows. If
cooked too much it will be sugary, and
II not enough, it will run.
The latter fault can be remedied by
returning to the stove for Il few min
utes.
When the boiling has gone beyond
the desired degree the consistency
can be reduced by adding a few table
spOOnfuls of cold water and boiling
again.
If the sugar has been burnt the taste
will remain, even though sugaring has
been prevented.
Never stir sugar and water while
boiling If you do not want it to granu~
late. Watch it carefully and take it
off at the critical moment, why1h In.
most cases must be decided by exDer~
ience
