DANES GATHER TO
BID FARE WELL
Visit of Roosevelt Marked by
Honors Usually Accorded
Only to Royalty.

COPENHAGEN. May 3.-Colonel
Roosevelt left here tonight for Chris
iana, where he will arrive shortly
after noon tomorrow. At Christiana
the feature of his visit will be the
noble prize speech. This will be de-
livered Thursday afternoon in the ma

gathered al the station to bid fare
well to the Roosevelt party.
Colonel Roosevelt was the recipient
today of two loving cups. one bear
ing the Danish coat of arms and the
other the American coat of arms and
also four plaques from the royal por-
celain works upon which We're pic
tured wild beasts. The municipality
gave a dinner in honor of Roosevelt,
attended by $50 leading men of. the
city. The lord mayor presided and
all members of the cabinet We're pres
ent. During the course of the day
Roosevelt visited Elsinore castle, the
scene of Hamlet"
The party returned to Copenhagen
on the steamer Queen Maud, which
passed between the squadrons of
Danish and Swedish warships that ac-
corded the former president honors
usually reserved for royalty alone.

PERFECT RECORD IS
POSSIBLE IN ORCHARD
Horticultural Inspector Says Per-
centage of Injured Fruit This
Season May Be Very Small.

More and more as the days pass
the fruit men of Yakima county real
ize the prospects for an enormous
crop of fruits of all kinds in this val
ley this season. The trees are Civ
ing every indication of their intention
of maturing as heavy crop as they
are capable of. 1t becomes a certain
ty that thinning of the most radical
kind must be INDUCED in. Horti-
cultural Inspector Morrison, who has
been in the Parker-Zillah country
making an examination of the ORCH
ards, is more deeply impressed than
he has ever been with the magnitude
of the prospects. In the first place
that is the territory of the large or
chards and in the next it has an enor-
nous acreage coming into bearing
this year, especially in peaches.
Mr.. Morrison went into the Parker
Zllah country primarily to look over
the orchards to ascertain whether
they are free from pests and from
the diseases due to fungi. He was
surprised to find so little Indication
of infection of any kind. He SAYS.
therefore, that the probable returns.
in crop and in quality Of crop, are
up to the enterprise, intelligence and
industry of the horticulturist. He
sees no reason why the percentage
of uniniured fruit Should not be run
up so close to a hundred as to con-
stitute almost perfect orcharding. In
this respect and in the quality of the
individual fruit. Mr. Morrison sees
great opportunities for the grower

FORTUNE
YIELDING LANDS
Irrigated Country of Sunshin
and Fertility Delivering
Profits to Settlers.

Yakima and Okanogan country in
Washington, the tmatilla land in
Oregon and various other irrigation
projects through the northwest are
exploited in a booklet recently issued
by the Northern Pacific Railroad, in
which the advantages of irrigation
are set forth and the splendid results
obtained are illustrated by facts and
figures.
Speaking of the g:eat opportunities
offered settlers in these sections of
sunshine and fertility, it is stated that
He must be hard to please. indeed,
if in one of these districts he cannot
find the home he is seeking. With
every graduation of climate from the
semi-tropic to north temperature
with every variety of crops. from the
most delicate fruit to timothy hay
the opportunities for the settler are
limited only by his capital"
The booklet is well illustrated, one
of the handsomest pictures being
that 0 fthe fruit exhibit of Yakima
county made recently at the North
Yakima fair. This exhibit gives an
idea of the magnificent results OBJ
tanned in fruit growing.
That fortunes are rapidly made in
the newly irrigated countries is dem
onstrated by figures showing amounts
invested by settlers and the profits
7ccruing from variety of crops, Tes-
timonials of farmers themselves
speak for the wonderful prosperity

NORTH COAST
LAYING RAILS
Crews Are Now Working West
ward for North Yakima From
kennewick Yards.
FALSE WORK WILL CARRY
MATERIAL ACROSS RIVER
Gasoline Engines Are Ordered to
Fill the Needs of Car Service
Between This City and the
Columbia River.

Work of laying rails on the North
Coast railroad westward from Ken
ncWick towards North Yakima was
begun yesterday and several miles
were put down by the track laying
machine which is in use The speed
on the opening day was not as great
as Will be the case later the work
ing crew being for the most part new
to the job. 1t is expected that later
the work will progress with some
thing over double the speed.
Track laying is To- be pushed
through without preferences to the
of bridges across the Yak
ina river at kiona. Parker and else
where. When the Kiona bridge Is
reached false work will be put in
there for the accommodation of the
material trains and the construction
pushed westward. The same will
be the case at Parker. The labor
has been something of a
to the North Coast people
but they have solved some of their
problems 10y raiding other camps and
offering better wages. 1t is said they
are paying their men $3.50 per day
in addition to the other inducements
such as board and shelter. They have
taken away a number of men from
the Northern Pacific railroad in this
valley.
Railroad men and others who have
examined the roadbed of the North
Coast in the Yakima valley declare
Ia. ,,.l,..
say it is superior in many points.
The report is renewed which has
several times been made but never
confirmed. that the North Coast has
purchased two gasoline cars which
are to be used between this city and
KenncWiCk. The first of these is eN-
pectcd at kcnncwick at any time
now.

aging Evidence.

KANSAS CITY, May S.-Dr. Victor
C. Vaughn, toXicologist of Ann Arbor
university, Michigan, and regarded b,
the state as its most important Wit
ness, began his testimony late today
The searches. for poison that were
made by him alone and also with DR..

resulted in the discovery of twenty
six thirty-thirds of grain of stry-
chime in the entire liver of Colonel
Swope, signs of cyanide in the stom
ach. trace of strychnine in the kid
ney: a suggestion, but no positive
proof, of cyanide in the stomach OF
Chrisman Swope: and strychnine in
the contents Of the stomach of Miss;
Margaret Swope.
In regard to Hypothetical uues-
tons regarding the commissions of
Thmosa II. Chrisman and Margorot

they were caused by the admnistra-

Vaughn said he did not believe
Colonel Swope died of apopleXy or
uraemic poisoning or that Chrismau
Swope died of meningitis.
While on the stand Vaughn pro-
duced what purported to be strych-

Swope. When Attorney Reed an

to look at the drug through mag

There was perhaps 1-25Oth of 4

the expert. One half of grain he
testified, would kill person. Stry-

Washington Will Be Asked to

PETITIONS POINTING OUT
DRAWBACKS PREPARED
No Business House of Any Sort
East and South of the Spot on

Objections to the proposed site of
the new federal building are persist

much to condemn and little to recon-
mend it and a request has been made
to the postal authorities ut Washing
ton that special agent be sent here

Objections to Site
Among objections expressed to the
site on which it is at present proposed
to erect the building are that il is ON
the extreme eastern and southern
limit of the business of North Yak

by petitioners, II business undertp-
NlllS VI any consequence east ana
south of the site on which it Is pro-
posed to spend $l50,000 for Il new

the building. if built whore now

naming five wards being west OF it;
that it is geographically SO placed
that any development of the city
must render it more and more out of

site now owned by the government is
neither the popular nor the intelligent
choice for such a purpose.
Petitions Are Drawn Up.
New petitions were drawn up Tues
day, setting forth these ana other OBJ
iectionS to the location now favored,
asking for an inspection of the situa-
ton but not suggesting any site or To-

enquiry. The cooperation of Con
