GRANGER HAS
BEEN ExONERATED
Charges Against Him are Dismissed
and He Receives Commentator
For His Good Work.

Commentator and not criticism of
Walter N. Granger is handed out by
Secretary Of the Interior Ballingsr a.
a result of the investigation made by
the department of the interior into
the charges and allegations made to
Mr.. Ballinger and to the senate COM
mittee on irrigation at the time of the
visit of the latter to this valley last
fall. The conclusions Of the report of
Special Agent Louis l.. Sharp, who
made the inquiry, are herewith given.
and they and his suggestion that Mr..
Granger be exonerated and all charg-
es, ETC., made against him dismissed
are heartily approved by Mr.. Balling-
err. Mr.. Sharp says:
THAT Walter n. Granger has in no
way been guilty of discrimination, ir-
regularity or misconduct in his man.
agement of the Sunnysde reclama ton
project, and that instead Of criticism
he is entitled to commentator from
the government for the faithful. hon
est and efficient manner In which he
has discharged his official duties as ir-
rigation manager for the said project.
and commentator from the people
residing under the system and receiv-
ing water therefrom. Further, I con-
slider Mr.. Granger one Of the most
thorough irrigationists have ever
come in contact with and that his ad-
minfstration of affairs concerning the
Sunnyside reclamation project and
his dealings with the water users' as
sociation have been fair, impartial
and honest, and that he is entitled to
credit therefor.
ut Is my belief that the members
of the Sunnyside Water Users asso-
citation who have shown dissatisfac-
ton and disposition to criticize Mr.
Granger and the government will
show the same disposition to be dis
satisfied with and to criticize any
successor that may be appointed tn
take his place. This will be especially
true If any one connected with any of
the former companies of Mr.. Granger
is selected as his successor"

ed with evidence in his own hand
writing wherein he acknowledged
that he was Ezra Revis and that he
had correspondent with young lady
residing in an Illinois town, signing the
name of Ezra Revis to the letters.
Postelthwaite admitted writing the
letters which the detectives had in
their possession and explained that he
did not know the young woman, but
had secured her address from a SOL
der at the fort who had come from
the Illinois town and had written to
her, and in concluding his first letter
told her he used to keep company
with her but was writing under his
soldiers name
Revis, before going to Texas, kept
company with the young lady, but
after committing the murder in Okla
homa she lost track of him and when
she replied to Postelthwaite's letter
she told him she knew who he was,
that his real name was Ezra Revis,
and in his letters to her after this he
signed his name as Revis or the mi
tails E. r. Through the agency of an
elder sister the detectives secured the
letters, which resulted in their long
chase to Fort Flagler, and it was on
the strength of such evidence that the
secretary of war ordered Postelthwaite
held in confinement and which came
near placing the young soldier within
the shadow Of the gallows.
Postelthwaite succeeded in making
such good showing that the detec-
tives were convinced beyond all doubt
that he was not the man wanted They
signed an order requesting Maj. Wal
ker to release him from confinement
and started back East in disgust over
the termination of what they consid-
cred as conclusive evidence as could
be obtained Of the guilt of the man
suspected, stating that many men had
been hung on evidence not so convinc-
ing as that which they had against
Postelthwaite.

BUSINESS MEN HOLD ELECTION.
VIII Hold Public Meeting Thursday,
at Which George Arrowsmith
Will Address Public.

Members of the Business Mems
ssociation of North Yakima, which
asst night elected r. Winsor, Jr, as
president J. l.. Hughes as vice-presi-
dent and c. e. Fraser as treasurer,
have extended an invitation to every
property holder Of North Yakima to
be present at the rooms of the Com
mercial club Thursday evening at 5

o turn over to the city under the pur-
chase of it's plant. He will also answer

Value of the Association.
Just prior to the election last night
there was brief recess for the recep-
ton of new members. Six were ell
rolled and it was determined to make
further membership campaign in
order that every business man in the
city be enrolled in the ranks.
AS an indication Of one Of the bene-
fits the association has been to North
Yakima may be mentioned the work
of procuring the construction of the
new Mckee bridge. This has increased
by $1,000,000 the valuation of prop
erty adjacent to the city and made a
large and fine territory directly tribu-
tary.
1t might also be said that the activ-
ity of the coming year will be much
greater than at any time in the past
The past season has served to point
out to the business men many things
which must be done for North Yakima
this year and they have naturally
turned to their association to have
them accomplished. Because of this
the organization will, this year, be
very busy and very prominent in city
life. Already it has in many ways
amply justified its existence
Richard Winsor, Jr., in a brief ad-
dress last evening outlined these
things done and proposed. W. A. Bell
also spoke on the work and directed
the attention of members to many
things which can properly occupy
their attention.
Many Addresses Made.
p. M. Armbruster detailed in q
brief way his plans as mayor of the
city for the immediate future and as
followed by Mr.. Arrowsmith, who
pointed out the position of the water
company toward the property holders
of the city. Mr.. Arrowsmith is a clear
and convincing talker.
Messrs. Edwards and Hunter of
Grand Forks N. D.. said compliment
airy things of North Yakima and the
surrounding country.

ter the close of the meeting and a So

you really the first time since I have

and which will disgrace you and
make You unhappy in the future.
Think matters over and weigh every
thing conservatively and you will
find out that my motives toward you
are as pure and honorable as only a
man can be towards the girl he re-

you away from here just to crafty

consequences to yourself would show
me up only as coward and not

girl after she had opportuned him
in tears and told how the girl had
disguised herself to escape detection
