WASHINGTON RYE
FAR|NG WELL
MAN FROM QUINCY VALLEY
BRINGS TALL SAMPLE OF HIS
BETTER.

The last doubter as to Washing
tons adaptability to growing rye was
convinced yesterday, when John
Henry Larsen of Quincy came to
town and brought the evidence. 1t
wasn't ''the papers, but a tall wisp
of the thing itself. Larsen says that
the farmers around Quincy have been
smiled upon by the gods that control
the harvest, for every man who has
sown rye has a big crop.
Larsen has 200 acres which he
says will yield 40 bushels to the acre.
He seemed not to worry over the high
cost of living, or anything else for
that matter.

Peshastin win Double Output.

Peshastin will double her output of
fruit this year. Last year there were
20 cars of fruit shipped from this
station. This year, according to con-
sentative growers, there will be 40
or so cars. S. P. Beecher, of Peshas-
tin, is one of the men who has devel-
oped a large acreage in the Wenat-
chez valley. He was one of the first
to put out trees at Peshastin years
ago and produced a fine orchard of
is acres. He erected a handsome
home and then sold the whole tract
three years ago to Charles Craig for
$4,000. The property is now worth
$4,000. After selling his old or
chard, Mr.. Beecher beagn work on
new ditch covering 100 acres of
land. All this has been cleared and
100 acres of trees have been set out.

SURGENTS
PRESIDENT SAYS STORIES CUR
RENT PAST FEW DAYS ARE
SENATOR'S TO DENY THEM,

Washington, May 1S.-Taft today
authorized several administration
senators to deny absolutely the stor-
les in circulation for the past few
days that the president recently had
denounced the insurgents in unmis-
taxable terms and had used langu-
age to which these took offense. Re-
ports reached the White House that
some insurgents this morning, after
what they heard said of them, were
determined to defeat the railroad
bill and other of the president
measures, regardless of what might
happen to them or to the party. The
remarks attributed to the president
and alleged to have been made to a
number Of newspaper men, bpt the
president declared he could not re-
call having said anything regarding
insurgents which could in any way
Justify the reports that had been
spread broadcast since Saturday last.
The insurgents also are said to have
taken offense to the general tone of
the discussion at the Saturday con-
ference in the White House. The
president is said to have told sena-
tors Aldrich and Root that he was
reluctant to believe that Senator b.
rah of Idaho had been engaged n
the circulation of the reports and he
did not believe he was willing to at
tack all administration measures be-
cause they were advocated by the
White House

c. \. TRAFFIC MAN
BUYS ORCHARD
NJ. j. COSTELLO AND JUDGE F..
v. BROWN TAKE INTEREST
NATCHEE.

Yielding to the lure of the Wenat-
chez apple, in the land where the
dollars grow on the trees" M. j.
Costello, assistant traffic manager for
the Great Northern railway, and
Judge Frederick V. Brown, local
counsel for the same corporation,
have purchased, with Walter Olive,
a full-bearing orchard in the We
natchee valley near Peshastin for
$4,000 spot cash. The papers were
filed of record in Wenatchee yester-
day.
Mr.. Costello said to a Seattle re-
porter that the tract comprises %
acres of II year old apple trees, Of
the best varieties, and that the re-
mainder of the tract, containing 80
acres in all, is in young trees with
the exception Of a trif1e over one
acre, on which are located the ranch
house, barns and other buildings.
Thus the price paid per acre is more
than $1,000
1--WE expect to market between
$4,000 and $4,000 worth of fruit
this year." said Mr.. Costello this
morning. II have returned lately
from Wenatchee and the fruit crop
there is ahead of all past perform
ances of that wonderful country. The
trees have passed through all danger
of frost, there is no blight in the
country and the orchards are carry
ing an enormous crop. Moreover,
there is every indication that the
price will be high this fall, owing to
destructive frosts less than 80 days
ago throughout the Mississippi valley
and other sections of the east.
"Wenatchee is figuring on ship
ping 5000 carloads of fruit this year,
a larger amount than ever before in
the history Of the valley"

EXPECT A SEVERE
DUST RAIN
COMET MAY CAUSE MANY PECU-
LIAR PHENOMENA ON NEAR
ING THE EARTH, ACCORDING
TO CALIFORNIA ASTRONOMER.

Pasadena, Cal, May 18.-Astrono-
mers at the Carnegie observatory on
Mt. Wilson expect to see unusual
electrical manifestations in the at
mosphere during the passage of the
earth through the tail of Halley's
comet Wednesday. Director Hale
and his associates would not be sur
prised if telegraph communications
should be disturbed. They also say
there may be rain of fine dust, re-
sembling volcanic dust. This will de-
pend upon the quantity of solids pres
ent in the comets tail
Extensive preparations have been
made on Mt. Wilson to observe the
expected electrical manifestation,
which, however, probably will not
disturb the atmosphere close to the
earth. The changes will be marked
by a delicate instrument called an
electrometer. Another device called
an electric varcometer will be used
to note any vibrations of the earth's
magnetic pole.
According to Professor Babcock,
who will have charge of the instru-
ments, the earth will enter the tail
about / o'clock Wednesday afternoon
and emerge about midnight. During
the afternoon the upper ether may
take on a rosy hue, while at night
brilliant electric flashes may be SEEN
The latest photographs Of the comet
show the tail to be more than 25,-
000, 900 miles in length.

walk in which the cobble stones be
covered with an inch of cement. The
report made by Chairman Ross was
adopted.
Fire Committee on Fireworks.
An ordinance relating to the hand
ling and sale of fireworks is to be
presented by the fire committee at the
next meeting.
Music for the Park.
Howard Thomas moved that the
band be hired to furnish music every
Friday evening in the park, as was
the custom last year. The musicians
are to receive $50 a month for their
services. The motion was carried
Welcome Arch for Kittitas.
Upon the motion of Terry Ross the
council decided to place the "Wel-
come" arch on Kittitas street, where
it will be furnished with light by the
Wentachee Electric Co. for a nominal
sum. The arch was formerly on First
street and at the place where all made
their triumphal march into the city.
Van Landingham Granted Right to
Repair Hotel.
At the suggestion of Fire Chief
Throw that permission be given to
Van Landingham to move his Mission
street hotel to the rear of the lot,
where it is to be raised on a one story
and to become a part of the new
structure, the city council granted the
right. The new building of Mr.. Van
Landingham is to be SO by 80 feet
The old building, sitting on the rear
of this is to be veneered with brick.

SPEAKS At LEAVEN.
WORTH TONIGHT
JUDGE BURKE JOINED EXCUR-
SION PARTY HERE AND WILL
OPEN SENATORIAL CAMPAIGN
IN RAILROAD TOWN.

Seattle, May 1S.-Judge Thomas
Burke leaves Seattle today to spend
the rest of the week in Chelan county,
speaking before audiences in several
important towns and spnding several
days in meeting voters.
Judge Burke is we'll known in Che
Ian county and is regarded there as
one of the most influential friends the
Wenatchee valley has had. At Judge
Burke's suggestion, development
work was started and new enterprises
launched that made the Wenatchee
valley famous as fruit growing re-
gion. Judge Burke always has been
an enthusiastic advocate of irrigation
projects and has exerted his influence
to procure railroad development in
the irrigated districts of the state,
which are now fulfilling all his early
promises.
1t is generally understood among
politicians that during Judge Burke's
visit to Wenatchee, a positive show
ing will be made that Chelan county
will give him a majority over all
other candidates in the senatorial
primary. To those who have fol-
lowed the situation closely, this has
been apparent, but Chelan county en-
thusiasts intend to make the fact
known beyond any doubt while Judge
Burke is on the ground
Engagements for Judge Burke in
Chelan county are:
Leavenworth, May 1S; Wenatchee
May 10; Chelan, May 20; Twisp AMI
Winthrop, May FL
1t is expected an important politi-
cal address will be delivered by
Judge Burke in Wenatchee but he
probably will devote much of his re-
naming time to meeting voters per-
sonally. Judge Burke expects to re-
turn to Seattle Saturday.

'Astronomically speaking" this is

"Astronomically speaking" this is
great month. Today the earth
passes through the tail Of Halley's
comet and on Monday next there will
be wonderful spectacle when the
moon is in eclipse and at the same
time the comet will be in view in the
evening sky.
J. J. See, government. astronomer
at San Francisco, has given out the
following program for Halley's comet
for the coming week:
"On May 10 the comets head will
set 21 minutes after sunset; on May
20 the interval will be heightened to
one hour and II minutes; on May
81, 2 hours and 10 minutes; on May
20, hours and minutes, and on
May %, 3 hours and 46 minutes.
Will Move Fast.
"Thus the comet will move east
ward from the sun quite rapidly, and
ought to be visible in the western
sky after May 90. The upper end of
tho tail may be visible on May 10,
but as the moon is then nearly full,
it is doubtful if it can be seen in the
strong moonlight.
"The head of the comet probably
will be brightest on May 20, but the
strong moonlight will cut down the
light of the tail, and this difficulty
will exist each evening till May %,
when a total eclipse of the moon will
occur, and enable us to see both the
head and tail of the comet in a dark
sky for an interval of 81 minutes

Time for Best View.

1T is during the eclipse that we
may expect to get the best views of
the comet, and every one should be
on the watch for both the eclipse and
the comet. The important elements
of this total eclipse of the moon are
as follows:
Beginning the totality, May %, 9
hours 9 minutes, Pacific standard
time
Middle of eclipse, May %, 9 h.
34.3 m. standard time.
"Total eclipse ends, May %, Oh.
56.6m., standard time.
THUS from a little after to 10
o'clock the moon will be on total
eclipse and the comet will show both
head and full tail above the horizon.
On May % the sun sets at about III.
20m. in the latitude of San Francis
co, and as the comet follows the sun
by three hours and As minutes, the
head will not set on this date till
about II o'clock in the evening.
A Wonderful Spectacle.
Accordingly, from $3.50 till 1890
o'clock, when the moon will be near
ly covered by the earth's shadow in
space, on the evening of Monday,
May %, every one should watch for
the eclipse and the comet, as both
will be visible at a very seasonable
hour Of the night.
1T may be a long time before we
again see two such wonderful sights.

APPLE BLIGHT At
WA[Lh WA[[A
GRAVE DANGER THREATENS BIG
APPLE ORCHARDS IN SOUTH
DEATH FROM BLIGHT.

Spokane, May 1S-The fruit crop
of the Walla Walla valley is in a
grave danger of severe injury unless
immediate steps are taken to stamp
out apple blight Immediately before
it gets any firmer grip upon the trees,
says the Walla Walla Union. Accord
ing to Fruit Inspector Whitney yes
terday, conditions have seldom been
worse in the history of the valley,
and not in ten years has so much
blight put in an appearance as can
be seen at the present time. He
blames climatic conditions for the
pest which is thriving now as it never
did before.
Mr.. Whitney has been busy the
past few days answering complaints.
Yesterday several farmers brought in
limbs from trees and appealed to him
for aid as some of the trees are al
ready reported dead.

Blight is Sure Death.

Mr.. Whitney said the blight is a
sure death to the tree in time, while
the crop of this year can yet be
ruined. Spraying will do no good
and the only thing to stamp out the
pest is to cut off the limbs affected
and burn them The wounds should
be painted with a II or 1-5 mixture
of corrosive sublimate. The limbs
should be handled very carefully.
Mr. Whitney stated yesterday af-
ternoon that several orchards he had
visited were not yet affected, but as
the germs are carried by ants it is
only a question of time until the crop
is ruined unless each orchardist
makes it his special duty to kill all
blight to be found in his orchard
Blight in its worst form is expert
enced about every ten years, accord
ing to the fruit inspector.

NOTE ON INDICTMENTS.

The indictment against Mr.. DulaneJ
was found by the grand jury shortly
before six o'clock Monday afternoon
The vote was 13 for and 4 against.
Five minutes later the jury vo.el OF
the proposition to indict Senator Bilbo
AMI failed to do 50. the vote being 7
for and 10 against.
A stormy scene was enacted in the
grand jury room during the balloting
Political Inns ware clearly revealed,
for the first time. 1t had been eener-
ally known that a majority of the
members of the panel were Vardaman
su oporters, but ii was moi believed that
they were in such overwhelming major
ity The four Jurors who voted against
the Du.aney indictment declared en-
phatically that they did not place any
credence whatever in the evidence siv-
ca By the lawmaker; that sufficient ev-
idence had been adduced during the
day to show that he was utterly un-
Worthy of belief.
After the Dulaney indictment had
been agreed upon the four members
who opposed it then made brief state
m.nls saying that, if full credence is
to be 9iven to Bilbo's statements, the
law recognizes no distinction between
the bri5e-s sivsr and the bribe-t aker;
that both were equally guilty of vio-
latins the statutes, ani both should be
indicted; that, even if Bilho had ac-
copied the bribe while acting as a
detective, he had placed himself bez
Fond the pale Of the law, ana should
be required to show conalusivsly to a
trial jury that there was no criaiinalitY
in his action
A majority of tha members could
not agree with this argument. although

voted for an Indictment.
