CARLOADS Of COAL
WH|TEWASHED
GREAT NORTHERN ADOPTS UN-
IQUE METHOD OF PROTECTING
TIONS EN ROUTE.

Carloads of whitewashed coal are
quite common these days on the
Great Northern railway. The white
washing is not done to improve the
appearance or TO increase the burn
ing qualities. The treatment neither
improves nor harms the fuel.
1t is a detective scheme on the
part of the railroads to locate and
to prevent the theft of the coal as
it is hauled from the mines to the
consumer
These depredations amount to
thousands of tons annually, and the
railroads are the sufferers, as it is
up to them to deliver as many tons
at their destination, often 900 miles
away, as were weighed in when the
car was turned over for transporta-
ton. Two or three tons may be re-
moved from a carload containing 40
tons without attracting attention to
it's decreased quantity until the car
is again placed on the scales. To
locate the loss, limewater is sprayed
over a carload of coal. In short
time the water has evaporatei, leav-
ing a load of white coal. Then re-
moval of any coal leaves big black
spot, which is quickly noted by in
spectors and station agents, and the
leak found and stopped.

RELIGIOUS ElE
MENT IN MAN.
REV. W. A. WATERMAN, NEW
GAVE INTERESTING SERMON
AT ELK'S HALL.

At Elks Hall yesterday afternoon
the Congregationalists held a very
impressive service. Their minister.
the Rev. w. A. Waterman, recently
from Chicago, gave the address upon
''The Religious Element in Man. He
called attention to the triune nature
of man. Asserting that the physical,
mental and spiritual parts each had
its own peculiar construction, laws
and destiny. The observance and
by the keeping of the laws thereof
brings man to his highest possible es-
tate for this and future life. This is
the comprehensive status of religion.
Religion then is the normal condition
of man. No religion is an abnormal
condition. The development and cul-
ture of the spiritual parts are as es-
sential to the perfect and complete
man as are the development and cul-
ture of the physical and mental. The
Bible is the hand book of the Creator.
God, to aid man in this development.
The destruction of the Bible, creeds
and church would not affect mans OBJ
legation to religious life. To love,
deal justly and serve God and hu-
manity would remain as now ami
ever have been if these were de-
stroyed. Should every law book in
Washington be burned, it would still
be wrong to lie, steal and murder.
The Bible. creed and church are di-
vinely given to aid man in loving the
true and beautiful, dealing justly,
and serving his Creator and fellows.
The obligations of laws of being when
observed constitute the religious life
and normal state of human being AMI
character.

thought to have deranged his mind
He was accompanied home from Sc
attic this morning by a cousin of his
wife. The man left Butler unguard-
ed for a few minutes and he disap-
peared. He was tracked to the river
and fears are entertained that he
jumped into the Wenatchee river,
which at the present time is quite
torrent. The alarm was given of
the mans disappearance and large
crowds from Cashmere are securing
the country in search of the man.
The local officers were notified this
morning to watch the river for the
body.

PRISON FOR HIGH
OFFICIALS
PRESIDENT TAFT EXPRESSES
OPINION THAT SUGAR TRUST
VICTED.

Washington, Nov. 29.-President
Taft told Representative Weeks of
Massachusetts today that he firmly
believed that some of the high Of
ficials in the sugar trust would event
ually be landed in the penitentiary
because of the frauds which have
been unearthed at the New York Gus
toms house.
He declared that Attorney General
Wickersham was determined to press
his Investigations The president fur
ther said that the attorney general
was convinced that he was on the
right track and that before very long
he would be able to bring the men
higher up to book.
In the course of his conversation
with Mr.. Taft, Representative Weeks,
who is himself a member of a large
firm of bankers and brokers, brought
up the subject of the frauds commit
ted by the sugar trust which have
been exposed by Collector Loeb of
New York.
eff this thing had not been prov
ed" said Weeks to the president. Il
would have never believed that big
business concerns in this country
would have attempted to commit
such petty crimes. The petty meth
DDS of false weighing and bribery
ought to be probed to the very bot
tom. I hope the government will
not rest until it has instituted Grim
inal prosecution against some of the
high officials who are really responA
sible, instead of being satisfied with
landing merely the small fry
1t was at this point that Mr.. Taft
assured the congressman that the at
torney general was convinced that
he would be able, from the evidence
he has in hand and to which addi-
tions are being made daily, to iniict
some of the big men of the trust.
Representative Weeks is convinced
that there will be a congressional in
vestigation of the whole subject this
winter. He said:
Some one is sure to introduce
such a resolution and there is no one
who would dare vote against it,

Seattle a leader in all that makes for
the best things in civic Improvement
higher morality and good govern
ment. The messages that he gives
from time to time on his lecturing
tours are such as to be of decided
benefit to the community in which
they are delivered. But If the doctor
is anything he is interesting. His
new and, as some consider them, SEN
sational methods of presentation OF
thought are striking and fascinating
those who have heard him go again

for two to five thousand people to
be turned away from his church in
Seattle. Nor is his fame on the wane
He never had greater crowds and
more rapt attention than he is hav-

PLANT A
SUCCESS
SYSTEM ON PLACE OF CAPT. v.
PERCY SMITH AT EAST WENAT-
CHEZ IRRIGATES 30 ACRES OF
LAND AT A COST OF So AN ACRE

During the past season Capt. V.
Percy Smith, residing at East We1at-
chez, installed a pumping plant which
furnishes water from the Columbia
river to his 3O-acre tract on the
Douglas county side.
The plant seemed to be such sue
cess that at the request of the Daily
World, the owner has furnished the
following description of the plant:
The pumping outfit consists of a
Byron-Jackson two-stage centrifugal
pump set in concrete bases 10 feet
above low water. The advantage of
this pump is that it is submersible,
consequently has not to be moved up
or down the bank to conform to the
rise and fall of the river, as is the
case with cylindrical pumps. This
pump is guaranteed by the makers to
give 800 gallons per minute to hun
dred-foot lift. In the present case the
lift is As feet at high water and IS
feet at low water and the flow has
been from $50 to 400 gallons per min
ute, according to the height of water
in the river. The shaft of the pump
is operated by a 18Th. p. gasoline
engine. The engine shaft gives 200
revolutions per minute and by means
of belts and a countershaft the shaft
of the pump is revolved at $50 revolu-
tions per minute, which gives the
above volume. The engine burns
11O-gallon drum of distillate in 20
hours and during this time it has de-
livered 100000 gallons of water onto
the ground 1t has been proved on
this ranch that this amount of water
during two days will cover 80 acres of
trees to such an extent that for six
weeks afterward the burrows will ap-
pear as black stripes six feet wide.
On the basis of four such irriga-
tions being sufficient for a season.
it will be seen that four drums of
distillate will do the business and
the cost of these drums are SIS, or
less than 81 per acre.
The irrigation of the tract was
placed in the hands of the pumping
firm and this outfit has proved an
entire success. A novel form of
contract was drawn up with this firm.
With the exception of 500 put up as
a guarantee of good faith. not an
other cent was paid until the entire
outfit was installed and had pumped
the water for ten days. Installing
pumping outfit is a risky opera
ton, but when one can obtain such
terms as these all element of risk
and loss of money is eliminated. 1t
is the only sure proof of reliability.
The initial cost amounted to about
$65 per acre. My assistance and ex-
perience is always at the disposal of
anyone contemplating the installation
of similar outfit.
Captain Smith. previous to COM
ing TO Wenatchee. was captain in
the regular army of England AMI
served in India, Burmah, Africa and
many other places all over the globe.
After twelve years of army life he
grew tired of this kind of life and at
the suggestion of New York apple
man he came west. The second day
after purchasing property in Wenat-
chez he was offered an advance of
$4,000 for his property, but refused.
He is the son of Sidney Smith. the
noted English prelate.
