which state fair business has beer
transacted have been sent out in tele-
grams from Olympia. L. o. Janeck
state fair commissioner and treas
urer of the board in reply to these
says that he will be delighted with
an investigation and that Hon. S. ]
Cameron, president of the board will
also welcome it.
"They cannot come along too soon
said Mr.. Janeck. This impression
that there is not a public official of
the state who will stand for an in
vestigation or who can bear it is
growing too fast. l would like to meet
someone sent here to examine into the
books of the state fair. The oppor-
tunity of showing that there is nc
desire to avoid investigation will be
welcomed"
Mr.. Janeck went on to say that
statements telegraphed out from
Olympia are incorrect and mislead-
ing. The fact is that fair commits
sioners, on their personal credit, are
carrying an Indebtedness of $21O0 OF
the fair, this money having been ad-
vanced by the banks. This amount
has been as high as $4,000 at one
time. Having stood responsible fol
the fair debt the com missioners have
naturally charged the state with in
terest Mr.. Janeck showed the Her.
aid letters in which he had asked the
state treasurer for prompt attention
to fair matters as interest was accu-
mulating.
The telegraphed statement that
protests have been made to the fail
commissioners from Olympia is de-
clared by the commissioners to be
in correct.

be a popular resort this summer. Inc
federal government has made the
lake and the shore for half mile

lating to game with them when they
go for their summer outing are likely
to come in conflict with federal Of

Strawberries, locally grown, were
offered for sale in the North Yakima
market Saturday and found ready
acceptance on the part of the patrons
of those groceries which offered the
goods. Parker growers came to hand
with three crates made up from the
acreage planted by Gruce Wees, d. S.
Siegrist, o. A. Taylor and w. H. NAL
sey. The berries were a splendid ap-
pearing lot and some of them were
particularly fine. One variety of those
offered shows that it does not stand
the wind as well as the others.
West Mob Hill berries, grown on
the ranch of F. J. Mahre, have been
on the market for two or three days.
Mr.. Mahre therefore got in as early
this year with his fruit. in CONNER

pie and they in their turn were do

wick people. 1t is anticipated that
Parker will ship in enough berries
this week to care for all the local
needs.

SONS HOSTAGES FOR
BORROWED MONEY
italian Laborcr Forwards Money to
Native Home for Their
Release.

SPOKANE, May 15.--When Daniel
Mann, a farm laborer, employed by
John Kranish on his Moran Prairie
ranch, five miles from Spokane, cabled
a money order for $500 to Genoa,
Italy, today, he released his four sons,
ranging from 20 to nine years of age,
held there as security for funds he
borrowed several months ago to bring
his wife and four daughters to Spo-
kane. Prominent residents of Sop
kane county have interested them
selves in the case, and they say if a
settlement is not made by steamship
agency at Bremen that suit will be in
stituted to recover damages.
Briefly told, Mann's story is that he
and his family of 10 left the village of
Kuraka, Russia, on October 3, 1908,
for Germany, intending to sail from
Bremen to New York and travel
thence by rail to eastern Washington,
and that when they reached the sailing
point the steamship agent induced
them through Misrepresentation to 60
to Brazil; that they were forcibly de-
tanned in an immigrant house in the
forest near Prosttenort, where one OF
the children died, and finally he was
swindled out of $1,000, the savings
of lifetime of toll in the Cars land.
They managed to reach Genoa. where
he was forced to leave four sons as a
guarantee to repay money advanced
by Michael Loufti, who took pity on
| the family's plight
1--WE found thousands of men, wo-
men and children on the densely tim
bered and rocky lands in Brazil be-
wailing their fate" Mann said. Like
| ourselves, they We're immigrants from
Europe. We were warned there not
! to tell any one about the real condi-
ton of the country, and, in fact, we
were told that death by hanging was
the penalty for saying anything about
what we saw and the way we were
treated by the officials in the immi-
grant house / was told that a dozen
others had been executed for dis
| obeying this Injunction"
