GOING DOWN.

There's food for thought and some
healthy reflection in the doings of the
latest ambitious rival of the Wright
brothers, Ulysses Sorenson, the viii
lage blacksmith of Berwyn, Ncb.. is
the man we mean.
Ulysses is an aviator from the
ground up. He made an aeroplane
of his own invention. Night after
night he toiled at the forge and bel
lows fashioning that aeroplane. When
he was ready to fly. the aeroplane
wasn't, but that made no difference
to Ulysses. In a manner that would

Identical with that of Mr.. Darius
Green, somewhat noted aviator of
an earlier school than Sorenson's.
Ulysses and his sky-machine came
down around, upside down and in
side out each other. Indeed. it was
difficult to separate Ulysses and the
aeroplane remnants without the aid
of some of his blacksmiths tools.
Ulysses was stunned. but not killed.
Now he says he's through with the
aeroplane business. Fortunate Ulys-
ses! He shows the advantage of the

Total Attendance Last Year Nearly
SOOO-Value of School Property
Increases.

1t cost Yakima county $351,146.43
to run it's schools last year. J. A
Jacobson. county superintendent of
schools, has completed his report for
the school year ending June, 1909,
and will submit it to the state super
intendent this week. The report is a
lengthy one, and contains some in
teresting data on Yakima countys
public school system. Superinten-
dent Jacobson and his assistant. f.
C. Barker, have been working on the
report for the past month, but were
delayed in completing it owing to the
fact that a few of the districts were
tardy in sending in their reports.
The report shows that there were
$500 school students in the county
last year, though only 1864 of these
attended. The total attendance by
days was S91,32S and Yakima county
will be entitled to Is cents next year
for every one of these days from the
county and state apportionments. The
total students in 1908 was 1855 with
a total attendance of 1915.

This includes all the real estate, the
furniture, equipment and libraries.
Thirty-six of the districts are now
bonded while 20 have no indebtedness
whatever.

WASHTUCNA.-Th scheme of w.
A. Gilderseeve to furnish light and
power for this city from a plant at his
ranch at the Palouse river awaits the
result of the local option election on
September Is. The city will be with
out funds to pay for street lighting
unless the revenues are augmented by
license fees. This resource was cut
off when saloon licenses expired four
months ago, but it is predicted that
the special election will result for
license. Mr. Gildersleeve is willing to
install the system. including the build
ing of the plant and wiring from the
falls four miles distant from town,
providing that an income of $3.50 a
month for the first year can be real
lied, trusting to the establishment of
other industries later to increase the
profits.

YOUNG HUSBAND FIGHTS FOR
PROSECUTED BRIDE
Remarkable Case of Race Prejudice
In Oklahoma-YOung Woman Is
the Victim.

MUSKOGEE, Okla, July 31.-The
lengths to which white people, below
the Mason and Dixon line, will go to
crafty their prejudice against the
negro is eXemplified in the unusual
case of the bride of VIM. c. Uphoff of
this city. The woman, according to
her husband, has a strain of one
sixteenth negro blood. Her husband
was a respected real estate dealer of
East St Louis, H., before their mar
riage, three months ago. The woman
is fair-skinned and as radiantly
healthful and wholesome as any
woman of Muskogee. The only sign
of the African blood is her thick.
black wavy hair.
When Uphoff brought his bride
here, where he was well known. and
owns property, he introduced her to
his friends and they accepted her as
a charming. natural, well-bred and
well-educated young woman. The
Uphoffs occupied a suite in the popu-
lar hotel of the city and they re-
ceived their friends there and accept
ed the usual courtesies.
Couple Prosecuted.
BY some unknown means it was
learned that Mrs. Uphoff had negro
blood in her veins. That moment
persecution of the couple began from
all sides, and this has caused the

FAST FRUIT TRAINS.

1t is given out tentatively that next
year the Northern Pacific will inaug-
urate a fast train service for the pur-
pose of landing Washington's perish
able fruits in the New York market
as rapidly as possible. This train
service, when established. will result
in making a big market for the fruit
of this state where it is going at pres
ent in but limited quantities.
The fruits raised and packed in the
irrigated regions of eastern Washing
ton command the market wherever
they can reach and be delivered in
good condition. The splendid quality
of the fruit itself is one thing; but
what gives it the market is that it is
perfectly packed and perfectly graded.
It is highly attractive in appearance,
and is so honestly graded and packed
that every dealer who has ever
handled it knows that he can rely
upon it absolutely. The top is no
different from any other layer, each
being identical all the way through
the package.
Considerable eastern Washington
fruit is already being sold in the east
ern markets. Given a fast train serv-
ice, so that it will reach the consumer
quicker than it can now, and other
fruits which have never been shipped
east before will doubtless go there.
The fruit-grOwing industry is
reaching big proportions in this state,
and it's growth is limited now solely
by the market demand which can be
created or the new markets into
which Washington fruit is given ac-
cess. With access into the New York
City market there never can be over
production of fruit in this state, for in
great part Washington fruit can defy
