was lighted by a small oil lamp INT

find some arrangement of the curtains,
some clothing or perhaps the furniture
that would account for the shadowy

1T was as plain as it could be,

in the distinct form OF an angel and
there was no installing it, for there
was nothing in the room that could
cast such Il shadow. We don't know
how it can be explained. The shadow
seemed to have Maude's form. but the
face of her dead mother. The hair was
stnoothed back and il had a white robe,
just as you see in pictures, of angels.
1t appeared to have outstretehed wings.

EXPERTS PREDICT WHEAT
CROP WILL BE LARGE.

Seattle, April 30.-Wheat crop pros
poets in this state, Oregon and Idaho
were never SO bright as at present,
according to grain men and bankers
who are constantly watching crop con-
ditiOns in the Northwest.
The wheat acreage is. expected to
show material increase over last
year by the time seeding is completed.
Wheat conditions throughout the win
ter not only favored the winter wheat,
but provided plenty Of moisture, insur-
ing good start for the spring-sown
crop.
The increase in the wheat acreage
is expected to be largely along the line
OF the Chicago, Milwaukee e Puget
Sound Railroad. The amount OF land
sown to wheat for the first time this
year along the new transcontinental
railroad is expected to more than on
set the loss that may be met along the
Great Northern and Northern Pacific,
where 3 large amount Of summer fall
lowing win be done, following last
years big wheat crop.

EXPECT EARLY OPENING
OF YAKIMA RESERVE

North Yakima, Wash, May 1.-THE
visit of Judge James w. Witten, super
intendent of Indian lands of the depart.
ment of the interior, to North Yakima
Thursday, gives rise to the conviction
that the Yakima Indian reservation
will be opened next fall. Judge Witten
would give out nothing definite with
regard to the opening, but he expressed
himself forcibly as favoring an open
ing in the fall rather than at any other
time of the year.
He is reported to have said that If
the appraisement of the Yakima reser-
walton is completed before December /,
the reservation would be opened this
year. It is believed here that the ap-
praisement will be completed in July
or August.
Judge Witten made careful investiga-
ton into police protection and whether
gambling is allowed in the city. He
said that one Of the most important
considerations was the protection OF
the rangers who will come here from
various parts of the country.

KING, PIERCE, SPOKANE
PAY BULK OF TAKES

Olympia, April 28.-With q com.
bined actual value Of property one
hundred millions less than the rest Of
the state, the counties Of King, Pierce
and Spokane pay about three-quarters
of million dollars more taxes than all
the remainder Of the state combined,
according to figures. prepared by the
state tax commission.
One reason for this discrepancy is
in the fact that the counties named
include the cities of Seattle, Tacoma
and Spokane, and the city taxes are
figured in the amount Of taxes paid.
The rate OF taxes based on actual
value Is 14.88 mills in the trio Of big
counties, as against 12.45 In the 9TH
ers. and the levy on assessed values
of 31.77 for the other counties and
31.48 for the three.

FOR STATE BOARD TO
INVESTIGATE POWER SITES.

A commission with full power and
sufficient funds to survey, investigate
and make inventory of the water pow.
er of the state was suggested by c. ].
France before the Progressive Legis-
lation Club in the Seattle Chamber of
Commerce.
AT the present time," said Mr..
France, "the public lands of the state
can be purchased by any one upon ap-
plication and appraisement. OF the
5000, 900 acres of school and Originally
awarded the state, 100000 acres have
been sold at a little over IS an acre,
and this has included some OF the
most valuable timber land of the state.
1t seems to have been an understood
principle among those who purchased
the lands that no one was to DID
against the person who applied lof
land. The law should be amended
"Under the leadership of Governor
Hughes, New York has created sucn q, q

follow the example of New YORK anu
give such a commission sufficient funa -
and also the power to pass upon oil
