QUEER COINCIDENCE.

Distress of Their Neighbors
Calls Out Able-Bodied Citizens,
Who Rush to the Rescue
at Once.

SEATTLE, Wash, May Especial
to the POst-Intellig encer from Bel
lingham says while most of the male
inhabitants of Nooksacks are fighting
the fire that threatened to destroy
the hamlet Of Glen ycho two miles

section Of Nooksack was destroyed
by fire late today.
Two mercantile houses, the opera
house, Two residences and barn
Were destroyed. Nooksacll is with
out water system and the few men
remaining in town with the aid of
the women ana children, fought The
flames by dipping water from the
nearby wells, but their efforts were
not sufficient to control the fire until
damage estimated at 100000 had
been done.
The fire is believed to have beer
| causd by Il lighted cigarette thrown
into hay by tramp. The fire which
! threatened Glen Echo was confined
to the Glen Echo Shingle and Lum-
Der mill with an estimated loss Of
$4,000.

DRY FARMING WILL
CHANGE CONDITIONS
Spokane Official Believes Com
merciai Conditions VIII BE
Revolutioaized Soon.

SPOKANE, Wash, May Conn
merCial conditions in every city and
town in the western grain growing
states Will be changed before 1915
as the result of increases in farm
production, if the plans of the Dry
Farming Congress, which has head
quarters in Spokane. are carried out
as planned by the national officers,
headed by Congressman f. W. Mon
! dell, of Wyoming. and the Washing
ton board of control.
John T. Burns, secretary of the
organization, who compiled the fol-
lowing data, believes the cooperation
of the farmers of the country in this
movement will bring about greater
transportation developm ent, increas-
ed marketing and milling facilities
and corresponding gains in every line
of trade and commerce. He says:
The total acreage or the 20
wheat growing states was about 3d.
265.OO in 1909, and the average acre
production was POS bushels, or A.
bushels above the general average
for the United States. The greatest
| increase was in the states where the

entitic methods.
1.-Two hundred million acres of un-
occupied lands in the western states
can be placed under the pillow within
the next four years if we push the
dry farming propaganda to it's limit,
and of this fully 100000 acres
will be wheat producing land. This
increase in acreage means farm
production which will change the
commercial conditions of every city
and town in the western states
Experiments in the states, where
dry farming is practised, show we
can increase Che production of
wheat by at least fve bushels the
acre, and, taking it upon the basis
of the present acreage. this means
a total of 166,175,000 bushels addi-
tional yearly in the western states
alone. Figured upon a nominal in
crease, which we might place upon
| double the present acreage, this
means an annual wheat production
Of 702, $4,000 bushels in the west
ern states, or almost equal the yield
of the entire country in 1909"

ADVERTISING TALK NO.
(By G. V. White

thN I. V. w lllt,)
A story is told Of a traveller who.
while walking through a lane IN one
of Kentuckys rural districts one hot
summer ray came upon three boys
sitting on the fence of an adjoining
field.
Their heads were hanging YEARLY
and their eyes were barely open,
Such dont-care and Woe-begone ex-
pressions he had never before seen on
the faces of mortal man.

Exclaimed. II think you are the

I'D like to find out which one is
the LATEST, and I'll tell you what I
will do l am going up the road here
a ways and when | return | am going
to give five dollar bill to the one
who looks the LATEST"
Then the traevler went his way and
in about an hour he returned. All
three boys had fallen off the fence.
One had managed to crawl partially
under the shade of a nearby tree
where he lay apparently fast asleep:
anothex .wats ceclining against the
fence.
But the third boy had stayed just
where he fell. SPRAYED out in the
dust, his legs and arms limp as rags
and the sun of a midsummer's dav
pouring its merciless rays down upon
him, he presented a spectacle of des-

Without shifting position and the
muscles of his face barely moving
the boy drawled: "Jes put in in my
pocket"

The WcnaS Project.

What great joke IS this about the
old Wenas settlers protesting about
some one trying to build up a new
" enas irrigated district? One time
they say there are no flood waters in
that valley. Next time they say they
Will let some body store flood waters
if they will be allowed to to get in
on the deal. They say there is no
doOd water there. Well then, let me
see, pHhaps it was on of their little
pripte irrigation bitches which
broke lose one spring and washed
out the big, span bridge across the
b silent WenaS river. AS there are
no food waters in the Wenas valley
it might be. that the five feet deep of
inter's SHOWS when melting in the
sp"1ng no the north side of Cleman's
mountain wander up him and trickle
their way down into the Naches
river instead of flowing naturally
down the vast Wenas basin and fur
nishing abundant irrigation water,
when stored. to water the 5000 I'M
developed acres of the coming New
Wenas valley. Then again they say
that there are flood waters in the
Wenas valley but that they use it to
irrigate with and there Is not enough
even of that. But then it might lie
that the coming famous Wenas valley
is much earlier valley than that
around Kennewick and they need to
do much irrigation in February and
some in January when this dribble of
snow water percolates down the an
cient bed of the little Wenas creek.
The fact is that apple growers who
are particular about location. slope
ana soil are getting their eyes on this
unnoticed valley as being the very
best apple district of all the valleys
of the Yakima and the old settlers
resenting the coming of the apple
orchard and the consequent subdivid-
ing and curtailment of this 5000
acres of their pasture.
All this is only the repetition or his
tory in this valley cf other irrigation
projects getting started. Some peo-
pie under the Congdon canal objected
I few years ago to that canal water
ing additional acreage for fear that
they individually would be, short of
water. The Terrace Heights people
encountered much opposition in the
watering of their tract. And most
every new irrigation project has run
up against just such selfish, narrow
minded protests.
Is it right for a few of that class
of people to compel the abandon
ment of such projects as Terrace
Heights or the Wenas high line?
No! Such people never do stop
progress except for a time. 1t would
be Il shame for 5000 acres Of this
cheap, SIS per acre raw Wenas apple
land to lie idle only for sheep and
cattle pasture for many years to
come.
The old settlers of the Wenas val
ley have rights to the present How
of the Wenas river and such rights
were established, by the supreme
court of the state of Washington, in
inches, not many years ago and pro-
rated among them. It anyone creates
more irrigation water in the Wenas
river than those specified and re-
corded inches of water they naturally
belong to tho creator.

shire man who. ever since he was 10
years of age. has been experimenting
with electricity. and who, on reaching
the years of discretion became an
electrical engineer, claims to have in

as great revolution in this method of
communication us the Marconi system
has accomplished in telegraphy.
When wireless telegraphy was first
exploited on a commercial basis Mat
thews directed his attention to ac-
complish the wireless transmission of
speech. After experiments which
have occupied nine years and involved
a considerable expenditure. he has
evolved instruments which make this
possible.
Up to the present time commune
cation has been established over a
distance of half a mile in one ot the
busiest parts of London, and yester-
day q demonstration was given at
Broad street house which proved at
any rate that conversation could be
carried on between people in rooms
far distant with as much facility as
by the ordinary telephone.

Water That Is Needed-Claim
There Is no Flood Waters.

against the release by the federal gov

that practically all the waters of the

which they have been appropriated
the petition is in existence because of
