Weather ana Crop Notes.

After having treated the planters in the
shabbiest kind Of manner for a period of
several weeks, the weather man has ap-
parently realized the error Of his ways
and is endeavorins to atone for his uE2-
seemly conduct by aIlotting to this par
tieular section of the sugar belt the time
liest and most suitable atmospheric con
ditions it has been our good fortune to
experience in many a day. The meteoro-
logical schedule for the past month has
consisted of rains al frequent intervals,
followed by several days of hot, dry
weather. the result being that the crops,
after being thoroughly soaked, literally
spring up out of the ground under the
bene6cent influence of the warm sunshine
which succeeds the doWnpours. Another
benefit consequent upon the sandwiehing
in nof asweek d two g-5ze weather. after
each rain IS that the fed forces are thus
afforded an opportunity 70 go over the
crops and remove. the grasses and weeds
which grow SO rapidly and luxuriantly at
this season of the year.
The cane, corn andriee crops along the
river in the fifth ward, contiguous to the
Darrow settlement opposite Donaldson

ton and promise heavy yields.

GETS CLAIM WORTH
$4,000
c. e. OWENS, OF COLUMBIA VAL
LEY BANK, LUCKIEST MAN IN
FOUR STATES-FTLES ON RICH
LAND IN COEUR D'ALENE.

G.. E. Owens, cashier of the Column
bia Valley bank, is the luckiest man
in four states. At the land drawing
on the Occur d'Alene reservation last
summer Mr. Owens drew No. SIG.
Instead of filing upon one of the
claims on the reservation proper he
filed on one of the quarters which
has been withdrawn. A protest to
the withdrawal was made by Mr..
Owens and the matter was taken up
with the interior department. The
filing had been rejected and his ap-
peal was made to the department of
the interior The following news
item from the Associated Press ex-
plains the opening of the lands for
settlement:
Occur d'Alene, Idaho, May 25.-
According to telegram received by
the Occur d'Alene land Office today
from Secretary Ballinger Of the inte-
rior the department has Cancelled the
order issued April 80 withdrawing
overfiowed lands along the st. Joe
river from settlement by holders Of
lucky numbers in the Occur i'Alene
reservation opening.
Scores of settlers who applied for
these lands appealed their cases when
the local land office refused to accept
the filings. These settlers will now
be allowed to file on these lands,
subject to the easement held by the
Washington Water Power Company
of Spokane.
These tracts are overlooked by wa
ter backed up the river from the
lake caused by the raising of the
Washington Water Power Company
dam at Post Falls.
Mr.. Owens will be required to es-
tablish residence within six months.
Fourteen months thereafter he may
commute at 1925 an acre, which
was the appraised value of the land.
The land filed upon is river bottom
land lying along the st. Joe river
and is especially valuable for hay,
celery and vegetables of like descrip-
ton. The quarter section is a large
one and contains 176 acres. 1t is
worth 1925 per acre.

SIAM HEARS ABOUT

MAN IN BANGKOK WRITES TO
COMMERCIAL CLUB - WOULD
COME 10000 MILES TO WE
NATCHEE,

Hearing rumors of the fortunes to
be made in apple culture, NJ. L. Mai
BIO, of Bangkok, Siam, writes to the
Wenatchee Commercial club for in
formation, saying that an American
friend told him particularly of this
place.
Tasmania's fame as an apple coun-
try has evidently not impressed Mr..
Maibo, although that place is COM
paratively near to Siam.
Following is copy of the letter re-
ceived from Mr.. Maibo:
President Chamber of Commerce,
Wenatchee.
Dear Sir: I should be much
obliged if you would kindly send me
your booklet containing information
regarding fruit farming. I have been
here in the east for some time, but
don't like the conditions and am
thinking of taking up fruit farming.
An American gentleman told me to
write to you for all particulars. ]
should be very much pleased for any
hints re. necessary capital, etc.
Yours, etc,
IN. L. MAIBO."

Reports from the various sections of
the state through which the special

THROWS BREAD At POLICE OFFICER

adopted here with the result that the
bread and water diet as a result of
their refusal to work put a quietus
on them.
The two men incarcerated here are
of the worst possible type Of man
hood. They are both repulsive in ap-
pearance and apparently it has been
months since either one of them has
had a bath. The police department
is determined that all offenders will
have but little leeway in this city.
The men came here evidently for the
purpose of violating the city ordi-
nances and being thrown into prison,
thus thinking to create sympathy for
them but evidently there is no SYM
pathy wasted on them and they will
serve out their sentence on a bread
and water diet or else go to work
and any further offenses by these
men or by any others will receive like
punishment The intention of the
men evidently was to ferment trouble
between the local contractors and
their employees and Chief Inscho has
taken very effectual means of putting
a quietus on this.

I. w. w. OFFENDERS IN JAIL NOT
PLEASED AT EFFORTS OF LO-
CAL POLICE-WILL SERVE OUT
SENTENCE ON LIGHT DIET.

Charles Foster and A. B. Roe, the
two obstreperous members of the In
dustrial Workers of the World, are
still on a bread and water diet. They
refused absolutely to work and until
they change their mind they will have
to serve out their sentence of $25 and
costs on a bread and water diet.
Last night when the bread and wa
ter was served them by Chief Inscho
the men were very violent and
threw the bread at the officer, drink
ing heartily. however, the water.
They were also in bad humor this
morning and did not use very kindly
language towards the officers.
The Industrial Workers of the
World and their free speech cam
paign caused the Spokane officials a
great deal of trouble and the same
policy was adopted there as has been

the middle of the street to our
homes. Those were bad days and I
believe Wenatchee was the toughest
little place in the west during the
building of the Great Northern rail-
way and for several years there
after
DR.. Tozier stated during very
short period of time here he held six
post mortems on men who had been
shot down in cold blood in Wenat-
chez. While it was common oc-
currence to hold up the ordinary citi-
zen whenever an opportunity pre-
scented itself DR.. Tozier states that
the bad men generally had respect
for a physician, not knowing when
they might be called to ask help
from medical men, but one night
when riding down between the pres
emit Wenatchee and the old town,
couple of fellows pulled their guns
on him, and stepping from behind
rock told him to throw up his hands.
Instead of doing this DR.. Tozier COM
menced cussing them and said: "You
stiffs, don't you know me? II you
ever treat me like this again I will
let you rot before will turn hand
to help you out when sick or hurt"
They let him go and this is his only
experience here with hold-ups.
DR.. Tozier, naturally, being state
officer, is not talking politics, but he
intimated that the efforts of the
Poindexter or Burke men here would
be of little use and that the next
senator would be neither Burke or
Poindexter.

DIR. A. A. TOZIER, NOW STATE
OIL EXAMINER, SPENDING A
FEW DAYS in RENEWING OLD
ACQUAINTANCES.

DR.. A. A. Tozier, of Everett, state
oil examiner, is in the city on mat
tiers connected with his Office. He is
making a trip over the state visiting
all the oil stations and seeking to
improve the service. DR.. ToZier is
a recent appointee of Governor Hay,
succeeding F. H. Clark, removed by
the governor for mismanaging his
office.
DIR. Tozier is an old timer in Che
Ian county, coming here before the
railroad and spending several years
in Wenatchee and later being a resi-
dent of Leavenworth. He was prac-
ticing medicine at that time and had
many thrilling experiences while a
resident of this county. He and the
Merriam brothers, George and Will
lam, were reminiscing some this
morning at the Elman hotel and re-
called the days of Wenatchee's his
tory when it was not safe for a citi-
zen to be out during the night for
fear Of being held up and possibly
shot

KEYMAN'S khELL
IS. SOUNDED
GREAT NORTHERN HAS ADOPT.
ED NEW METHOD IN TRAIN
THURSDAY.

Commencing Thursday morning,
May 26, the Great Northern Railway
company will begin the use of the
telephone for train dispatching. In
about ten days the phones will be
installed and ready for work between
Spokane and Troy. Those to be cut
in on Thursday morning are those
between Spokane and Leavenworth.
E. J. Little. superintendent of st.
Paul, who installed the system, said:
There is nothing that is cutting so
much of a figure in the revolution
izing of modern train dispatching as
the telephone. When the Spokane
division is completed, which will be
inside of two weeks, the Great Nor
thern will have about 1900 miles of
track over which the telephone has
replaced the telegraph.
Can Call Any Station.
Every station and siding will be
equipped with a telephone and there
is a selector set by which the dis
patcher can call any station he wants.
There is no ringing of bells, unless
the station specified as wanted. The
company that manufactures the new
equipment is working night and day
and is still behind with its orders,
so am a little doubtful If the Great
Northern can install the additional
200 miles this season.
There is absolutely no COMPARE
son between the telephone and the
telegraph as a medium for train dis
patching. 1t is possible to cover much
more ground with a great saving Of
time and labor.
1.-The Great Northern is not figur-
ing on doing away with its telegraph
operators. While the wages of the
operators were cut on some of the
Eastern divisions, / do not believe
that the same order will apply in
this district
we cApctl W nave cFcTyIuluS
ready and working Thursday morning
between Spokane and Leavenworth,
and I know when the new system
gets to running properly that every
one connected with the train service
will appreciate the change"
Great Advantage Shown.
Every train, both passenger and
freight, that leaves Spokane going
in either direction will be equipped
with portable telephone set, which
will enable any of the train crew to
fasten the contact wires to the dis
patcher's wire and be in instant COM
munication. In cases of a wreck or
EMERGENCY the advantage of the tel
ephone over the telegraph may read
lily be seen.
All Eastern roads are beginning to
lean toward the telephone in this re-
spect, and in a few years, railroad
men say, nearly all Of the important
roads will have taken up this means
of train dispatching.
