MYSTERY OF MICH.
GAN ATHLETE
CAPTAIN-ELECT OF MICHIGAN
FEARED FROM HOME-FOUND
ON RANCH AT WALLA WALLA.

Walla Walla, March 17.-Mystery
over the disappearance Of James Joy
Miller, the quarter back and captain
elect of the Michigan foot ball team
who disappeared from his home in
Michigan shortly after. his dismissal
from college for alleged profession
alism, is partially cleared. Miller
has been working for some time on
the Blalock fruit farm near here.
Apparently Miller's mind is blank
concerning his identity, incidents in
his life prior to this dismissal from
college and his disappearance from
home. Miller does not even know
his own name but is living here I'M
der the name of j. ]. Miller because
that was the name on the watch he
carries. He has received mail I'M
der that name and it was through
the postoffice department that he
was traced to this city and identified
as the missing Michigan quarter
back. He declares he has no know
ledge of events, does not remember
his parents or his home, did not
know the state of Michigan until it
was pointed out to him on the map.
Nor does he know his sweetheart
whose picture he carried in his
watch. What caused the peculiar
malady is not learned, but it is sur
missed it is the result of some injury
from foot ball, combined with per-
maps his dismissal from college.
Miller had been traced to Chicago,
Montreal, Spokane, then WalIa Wall
la. Miller's hair has turned gray.

IN FINANCIAL DELIRIUM
J. Hill Points Out the Necessity of Conserving Cash
and Greet and Blames American People for
the Extravaganza and the Increase
i'm the Cost of Living

st. Paul, March Thames j. Hill
delivered an address at the Mime
sofa Conservation convention today
in which he urged the conservation
of capital, condemned extravaganza,
gave the causes of the increases in
prices and told how the situation
described by him might be RENE
died.
Great interest was taken in the
speech of Mr.. Hill, who declared
that I'VE are living in an age of
world wide financial delirium; that
next after conservation of land its
area, use and fertility, must come
the conservation of national capital
in the shape and cash and credit"
Mr. Hill said in part: ''The i'm
mense increase of wealth all over,
the world has greatly augmented the
supply of capital. The mobility of
this capital, the ease by which
through international exchange it
can be made to satisfy a
need now in one country and now in
another, strengthens the impression
that it is inexhaustible. The addi-
ton of uncounted billions to the ag-
gregate wealth of the world has stim-
ulated the spirit of mankind. It's
avail ability has little lulled to sleep
natural prudence and quieted the
alarm of moments of sanity in the
spendthrift's life. The increase of
apparent resources by an easy resort
to borrowing, the mortgaging of a
patrimony never not our own to OBJ
tain material for present extrava-
gance, the diversion of wealth from
productive to unproductive uses-all
these have gone farther than most
people realize.

Proposed Pipe Line Near Malaga.

Proposals are under consideration
to water 200 acres of land near NAL
aga by the Introduction of a pipe
line from the foot of the Lockwood
ditch. By means of a pipe line the
group of ranches will be supplied
with 81 inches of water and will
save over one and one-half miles of
open ditch. Probably Is inches Of
water will be kept from being lost.
The system will mean that the land
will be worth $50 per acre more
than it would if watered by an open
ditch.
Those interested are Ira Thomas,
w. w. Gray, Ed. Russell, John Gore,
Shaw, Peloquin, Gillette, Gulick.
The pipe line will be made partial
ly of galvanized iron and of pres
sure wood pipe. From the head Of
the line to the tract of Ira Thomas
there is a drop of 81 feet This is
the lowest land to be watered ex-
cept Gulick's land, which is about
80 feet lower than that of Ira

Returned From Islands.

c. M. Deniston, who, in company
with E. A. Wyman made a trip to
the Hawaiian islands, returned home
last night. Mr.. Wyman returned
some weeks ago. Mr. Deniston, just
the same as Mr.. Wyman, was very
much pleased with the islands and
thinks the United States gained a
very valuable possession by the an
nexation of this beautiful group of
islands. Mr.. Deniston not only tour
ed the islands, but after his return
to the coast spent some time in Cali

states that in all his travels he
found no place that suited him better
than the Wenatchee valley.

KILLED OFF LAFEAN
BOX BILL
LOCAL GROWERS VERY MUCH
PLEASED AT SUCCESS in KILL
ING OFF OBNOXIOUS APPLE
BOX MEASURE.

Local growers are very much
pleased at the success of the repre-
sentation of Washington and Oregon
fruit growers before the committee
on agriculture in opposition to the
Lafean apple box bill. 1t is quite
certain that the bill cannot pass
without amendments which would
destroy all practical effect the east
ern fruit and commission men ap-
parently wish it to have.
The demonstration before the COM
mittee with northwestern apples was
sufficient to convince its members
that the standardization of apples
provided for by the bill could not
be adopted without working serious
injury to the growers of the north
west, who claim to have built up
their business on the present stand
ard of pack and size of box. Two
and one-half inches diameter is the
standard proposed by the Lafean bill
for grade A of apples, and much OF
the fruit shown the committee from
Washington and oregon was three
and one-half inches in diameter.
1t became apparent from the de-
monstration that If standard size
is to be adopted the government
must decide upon six or more grades,
beginning with the larger sizes, and
the purposes of the eastern advo-
Gates of the bill would be defeated
IL two and one-half inches is not
adopted as the standard for the
highest grade.
Representative Hawley is quoted
as being of the opinion that in spite
of the strong advocacy which east
erners are giving the bill, it is quite
probable that most of the objection
able features will be eliminated If 1t

Washington, March 17.-The

up the Crumpacker bill to amend the
census act. Although the regular
republicans who were defeated with
Speaker Cannon yesterday rallied
some democrats to the support they

FOR PRIZES
TO BE KEEN
PLAN OF SPOKANE APPLE SHOW
TO SEND PRIZE WINNERS
EAST WILL CAUSE GREAT
INTEREST.

Said a well known fruit grower
to the Daily World this week:
IF we accept Spokane's plan for
the apple show we may expect to
see greater scramble for prizes
than we have ever seen before.
Every district will want to see as
many as possible of its apples sent
east. IT we win only a few prizes
We may expect a poor representa-
Ition In Chicago, while if we win a
lot we may expect a good one. do
not believe that there will be any
serious difficulty in Wenatchee car
rying OF the most of the prizes this
year-just the same as we have al
ways done before. The only diff
ference this year will be that we
will have large crop to select our
apples from while last year we were
handicapped In being able to get
hold Of a great many of the varie-
ties.

WOULD HIRE MANY
LAbORERS
EMPLOYMENT AGENT, LOCAL
CONTRACTORS AND FRUIT
GROWERS ASSERT THAT HELP
is NEEDED.

Help is very scarce in this valley
this year. The local employment
agent, street contractors and fruit
growers all assert that many more
men could be employed in this val
ley this year at good wages. Help
seems to be scarcer here this. year
than ever before.
There are a great many new or
chard tracts being planted. The
street regrade contractors are en-
ploying great many men and there
is a general demand all over the
valley for help. 1t is feared that the
scarcity will continue all summer and
that there will be dificulty in mar
keting the large crop here this fall.

Roller Stuck in the Mud.

The big steam roller got caught
in a mud hole in the subway and re-
manned there until this morning. In
an effort to extricate it last night
the valve from the mud drum was
knocked of, letting the steam es-
cape. That ended action yesterday,
but this morning some horses and
tackle assembled at the scene and
the roller was quickly pulled up onto
the dry land and is again ready for
duty.

COLUMBIA STREET
IMPROVEMENTS
is WITHIN THIS YEARS BUILD
ING ZONE-FINE WAREHOUSE
GOING UP-OTHER IMPROVE
MENTS.

n Columbia street has become the
scene of much activity since the be-
ginning of warm weather.
Wells & Morris are erecting an
other warehouse beside the old one
on the site where the temporary
structure stood. The new building
is SO by 100 feet, two stories, built
of stone and concrete and will add
$4,000 feet to the floor space that
Wells & Morris already have.
The first floor is to be used for
the housing of agricultural nipple
ments, and the second will be the
display room for vehicles.
A feature of the building will be
the fireproof room in which the oil
stock is to be kept.
The work was started only two
weeks ago and the building must be
ready for the spring stock that will
require it in a little while.
Architect J. W. Sussex states that
he hopes to get the building ready
on schedule time and that he is plan
ming also to get the reinforced con-
crete laundry building, on the same
block, ready this spring.
Laundry Building.
The new building for the Wenat-
chez Steam Laundry is another Col
umbia street improvement that is
now under way.
- The laundry building will also be
SO by $50, two stories high, and
built of reinforced concrete. Half
ofethe first floor and all of the second
will be used by the laundry and the
rest Of the building will be given
over to the uses of three stores to
face on Palouse.
At present the laundry Is being
run under difficulties and would
doubtless be shut down temporarily
were it not for the city's needs.
A feature of the new building will
be the reinforced concrete stack, 80
feet high and four feet inside diam
eter. The management is going to
install a new Wilcox and Babcock
boiler of 100 horsepower. The laun-
dry, when finally ready in the new
place, is to have all the modern
laundry machinery and will be in a
position to fully satisfy the wants
of it's patrons.

MA Y ALTER MAIN LINE
Great Northern Officials Consider Methow, Twisp
and Skagit Valleys as Route West-Good
Grades and Few Dangers Rainey Pass
Free From Big Snow Slides

Spokane, March IA new route
for the Great Northern from Spo-
kane to the Puget Sound country is
under consideration.
1t is said that the new route will
be free from possibility of such acct
dents as that which swept away
three trains at Wellington, and that
it would open up an exceptionally
rich mining and agricultural coun-
try, which at the present time Is
without transportation.
Methow Valley Favored.
The new route would leave the
present main line of the Great Nor
thern at Wenatchee, the route hav-
Ing been already surveyed up the
Columbia river.
It would cross the Columbia river
just south of the mouth of the Met
how and would follow the rich val
ley of the latter to the mouth of
the Twisp river, which it would fol-
low to it's source in Raincy Pass, to
the north of Chelan Glacier.
From there it would take the down
grade to the coast, following the
course of the Skagit river, and join
ing the line now operated to Rock
port.
Pass Not Dangerous.
1t is claimed for the Rainey Pass
route that it would be practically
free from snowslides and that II
gives a much easier grade than the
present route to the Cascade tunnel
The Methow and Twisp valleys
are among the finest agricultural dis
tricts in the state, and the partially
developed mineral wealth now awit-
ing transportation would add an
other source of revenue to the rail.

BASE BALL MANA
GERS MEET
NETTING AT COUNCIL CHAMBERS
LAST NIGHT - PRELIMINARY
PLANS FOR COMING SEASON
MADE.

At the meeting of the Twilight
league managers last night it was
decided to call a general meeting on
April 25,- when all who want to en-
ter, the Twilight league will be given
a chance to come in. At that time
the various teams that go to make
the league must be made up and
ready for enrolment.
TIL money that was left over from
last year will be retained In the
league until some decision is made
about 1t later.
Final decisions nave not been
made about the organization plans,
and probably will not be for another
month. There is a difference of
opinion concerning the first team
Some would have it made from rep
resentatives of the Twilight league,
while others are of the opinion that
such an arrangement would not be
practical. 1t is probable that a Sec
onj organization of the league will
follow a preliminary one, after the
players have been tried out and the
material for the first team picked.
The makeup of the first team is al
ways difficult for the reason that a
player must be one who is free to
leave his business when called upon
All the teams We're not represent
ed last night but it is thought that
the ball interest will increase after
every Sunday game, so that in few
weeks the Twilight league will be
recruited up to its old class and
strength.
There is a chance that the Eagles
will not put in a team this year,
and so far the printers have not
come together. There is plenty of
time yet before the final makeup
and that is probably one reason why
the Eagles and Printers have not

The Spokane Indians will not be
here until March %, one day after

School election today.

THAT "there is so much good in the worst of us" came into an actual demonstration short time ago in Texas when rough looking and raggedly clothed tramp at the great risk of his own life saved the little girl of MT. Jenkins, the Indi- ana millionaire, from being crushed to death by the Golden State Limit ed, the Southern Pacific fast mail train. The tramp did this right in front of the child's parents and a dozen or more Jenkins ranch hands, who were helplessly scream ing seeing the little girl on the rail- road track in front of the limited. which was speeding along at the rate of over sixty miles an hour. After the tramp saved the child, he walked away unconcerned. After the parents excitement had dis appeared they sent the hired men on horse back to bring the tramp back It took some persuasion be- fore this was accomplished. When
 Mir. Jenkins saw the rescuer of his child he offered him one half of his Texas stock ranch valued at over a million dollars. The tramp de- clined the offer saying that he only did his duty toward saving life of human being. Oh, what noble character2 There is a1 ob- ject lesson worthy of consideration by church members who occupy front pews in the church only on special occasions for show. and
 rest of the time spend their time in picking flaws in their neighbors
 Human life and it's character is dear and at the risk of our own life we should be ever ready to save the life and uphold the character, which is one of the vital parts of ones life. As that ragged tramp saved from death the Jenkins child without hope of any earthly reward.
 we ought to endeavor to do something to uplift and save the life and character of our brother and sister.
