During the Past Several Weeks Was One of the
Most Conspicuous Figures in State Political and
Business History.

Saturday in Seattle.
The illness of Gov. McGraw has
been watched with a general state
wide interest that would be accord
ed probably no other citizen of Wash
ington. For a quarter of century
he has been leader in every line
of activity he entered and as such
he has become known the state over.
His friends, scattered throughout the
entire breadth of the commonwealth,
have been watching the course of his
illness with the deepest personal in
terest and those who are not his
friends have done so because Gov.
McGraw for years has been acknow-
lodged one of the most conspicuous
personalities in the northwest.
John H. McGraw was a pioneer of
the state of Washington, going to
Seattle in the early days. He was a
self-made man in every respect and
served the city of Seattle as police
man, afterwards sheriff OF the coun-

state of Washington. In all positions

The whole official future with

1t Takes Real Cash.

1T put large crop onto the mar
ket takes real cash. In the first
place he man who owns the crop has
to buy boxes. These boxes are
bought for cash or on short-time
credit. Then the man with the fruit
finds it is necessary to pay his help
every Saturday night. This takes
another piece of money from each
grower in the whole district
In the case of soft fruits the grow
er gets only small part of his mon
ey, generally speaking, when the crop
is delivered. What cash is received
by the grower is paid out by the To-
cal produce man who in turn must
depend upon the banks to support
him.
Deposits Are Low.
The growers usually have a GER
tain amount of money on deposit in
the banks, but during the summer
season while they are caring for
their orchards and at the same time
getting ready to market another crop
their finances ale low, consequently
the deposits in the banks at this sea-
son of the year are low.
Why Money Is Tight.
AS a result of these low deposits
and the immense amount of money
that is required to move the great
crop of the Wenatchee valley, mon
ey is all going out ana has not yet
started to come in. The grower
needs money to pay his help. The
fruit man needs money to make pay
ments on the fruit before he ever re-
ceives any return, and with all these
expenses accommodating at once
throughout the valley it means that
money will continue to be tight for
the next six or eight weeks.
The Banks Are Helping.
During all this time is the time
when the banks help out the situa-
ton. The local banks are bringing
in money from the outside to help
handle the crop which will this year
amount to several millions of dol
lars. If the grower has shown that
he is on the square he will be as
sisted in getting through the times
when money is tight. Were it not
for the fact that large sums of money
are dumped into the valley by the
local financial institutions the stu
alton would be trying indeed
The Money Harvest.
In about thirty days from now the
money harvest will begin. In that
time the crops which are being ship
ped out will begin to bring in their
returns. From that time on money
will begin to lease up" A few weeks
later there will be great difference
and this fall when the farmers each
receive from $1,000 to $4,000 apiece
the golden days of the year for the
Wenatchee valley will be here.
The peach and apricot crops will
begin to move early next month.

Those who have not had an oppor-

immense amount of money that is
required. Those people, however,
who are in the business of handling

How to Save So on Cough
Medicine by Making 1t at Home

Cough medicines. as a rule, are
mostly syrup. To make the best syr-
up. take a pint of granulated sugar,
add one-half pint warm water, and
stir about two minutes.
Get two and one-half ounces of
Pinex Go cents WORTH put it in a
clean pint bottle, and fill up with
the graduated sugar syrup. This
makes a full pint of uneqUaled
cough syrup, for about "a cents
Keeps perfectly You couldn't buy as
much ready-made cough syrup for
$3.50.
This home made remedy is pleas
ant to take, and usually stops even
the most obstinate cough in "a hours.
1t is splendid, also, for colds, whoop-
ing cough. bronchial ailments, etc.
Take a teaspoonful every one, two
or three hours.
The sugs. syrup is an excellent
sedative. Pinex is the most val
liable concentrated compound of Nor
way white pine extract, rich in all
the healing elements of Norwegian
pine. Be sure to use the real Pinex
itself. Your druggist has 1t or can
easily get 1t for you.
Strained honey can be used instead
of the syrup and makes a very fine
honey and pine tar cough syrup.

NO INQUEST OVER
HUMAN SKELETONS
Coroner Rose Decides 1t Would Be a
Useless Expenditure to the
County.

Coroner John F. Rose, after viewing
the human bones unearthed near the
Milwaukee tracks at the foot of For
tieth street yesterday. decided that he
would notHput the county to the ex-
pense of an inquest to pass on the
manner IN which the unknown per
sons came to their deaths. The bones
will be reinterred in the locality where
they were found
The coroner is of the opinion that
the skeletons had rested in the spot
where they were found upwards OF 10
years. The most plausible theory so
far advanced is that the dead were
victims of fights among tramps which
have been frequent in years past in
that locality. which has been a rem
