wore showed no signs of blood
stains, and there was nothing to
indicate that he was the guilty man.
He admitted in his confession, it is
said, that he had his sleeves rolled
up and others who saw him declare
that he did.

Only One Normal School.

The open season for normal school
petitions is now on. They will soon
be confronting the voter at every turn
of the road. Don't sign one of them
don't even encourage the circulator
by reading one of them unless you
have made a mental canvass of the
situation and have convictions on the
subject, and have in view the educa-
tional needs of the state. The man
who signs to please friend or to help
his particular section will only help
on muddle as vexatious as that which
has hung upon our legislators in the
past. That the state is sadly in need
of an institution for the proper train
ing of teachers is made most emphatic
by the annual importation of teachers
from the East. They are about as
stable an article of import as butter
and bacon, and the fact is no credit
to the state. AS to the number OF
normals-the taxing capacity of the
state indicates that one is a plenty. =

Work COnviCts on Roads.

Some of the oldest highways in ex-
istence were built by convict labor.
Along many of these world-famous
internal commerce has
followed the line of least resistance
for more than a thousand years. 1t
was not the excellence of the convict
built roads of the Old World that
started Washington on the work of Sc
curing frst-class highways by the same
methods; but our neighbornig state
is now following the system of the
ancients with results that are in every
way satisfactory. Not only is the
state securing fine roads at small cost,
but the work is beneficial to the
health and mora S f the convicts who
are doing the work. The success OF
Washington in road building by con
vict labor is so pronounced that it
should be followed by other Paciht
Coast States. Thousands of miles OF
these roads are needed, and there are
thousands of convcits who should b'
working on them. -Oregonian.

KANSAS ORCHARD
BURNED BY OWNER

The second largest apple orchard IN
the state of Kanass, the Wellhouse
orchard. on the main line of the Santa
Fe railroad, in Usage county, has
been destroyed by its owners on
account of its non-productlVlty. 1t
was burned to the ground.
Twenty years ago, Fred Wellhouse,
the apple king of Kansas, set out the
orchard. 1t contained 800 acres.
Nearly $1,000 trees were required.
The trees grew fairly well for the
first few wears, but when 1t came
time for them to bear they bucked. In
vestigation developed that the soil
was not adapted to apple growing.
For IS wears Mr.. WellhOuse and his
son held on to the orchard in the hope
that the elements might produce a
change. Occasionally the orchard
would yield a light crop. One year it
did manage to turn out 5000 worth OF
fruit. But on the whole the orchard
was a failure. -.
Mr.. Wellhouse sold the orchard last
wear. 1t was divided up among two or
three purchasers. The new owners
decided not to fool with the orchard
any longer. SO one day recently when
the the wind was strong and vegeta-
ton all dry they set fire to the orchard
and burned it up. 1t is estimated that
more than $4,000 live apple trees We're
burned. Thousands of trees were
burned up entirely. Others were
burned off at the trunk. The owner
will clear up the ground and put it
into grass corn and other crop.
at made me feel badly to see that
orchard destroyed, said Secretary
Wellhouse of the State horticultural
society. 81 hepled to set it out and
had great hopes of large returns on my
money when the trees were planted;
But, as everybody knows, the orchard
was failure. We didn't examine the
subsoil close enough when we selected
the land for apple growing.

New Species Of Trout Taken.

A new trout has been discovered in
the waters of the Big Klickitat. The
fish is Is inches long, weighed three
pounds, and of excellent favor. I'm
tike the usual trout, the fish was of a
gravish color. There was general
absence of spots on the back and tail
