DR.. ]. L. Jacobs left Tuesday morn
ing for Portland, where he will spend
the winter if he does not become too
homesick for Chelan after a few weeks
absence and return sooner than he an
~ticipates.
Road Supervisor Easley completed
the work on the Chelan Falls road
Tuesday, and some master strokes In
road building have been accomplished
at a comparatively small outlay Of money.
The most important improvement to
the road was made just below Cape
Horn, where the grade was reduced
from twenty per cent to less than ten
per cent and was shortened in the
distance in the bargain.
A live golden eagle measuring more
than sever feet from tip to tip, is the
prize which Jake Richardson and Joe
Hendricks brought in Tuesday evening

lake country. The big bird had settled
into the sagebrush by the roadside and
was unable to spread his wings and rise
when the hunters came suddenly upon
him; and altho he made a desperate
fight and left the marks Of his sharp
talons and powerful beak on the hands
and arms of his captors, he was easily
made a captive. He will be kept and
if he lives will probably be sold to a
geological garden somewhere.

distinction of having had a matter oil

to Hon. James Wilson, secretary OF

NEWS FROM CHtLAN COUNTY
CASHMERE
[scissored from the Record


The livery stable of ]. E. McClimans
was devoured by fire last Wednesday
night, and though all of the horses
we're saved and the vehicles damaged
only by the blistering heat, Mr.. Nc
Climans will suffer a net loss Of about
$500. The IS horses in the stable
were saved despite their maddened
rushes, after being turned out, to re
turn to the flames; and it was the wild
stampede OF the animals up the road
and to the McClimans ranch, half a
mile south of Cashmere that first ap-
prised Mr.. McClimans that some disaster
had come to his livery stable. All of
the rigs and cutters were saved, though
they will suffer from blisters Of varnish
and paint, but the harnesses were lost.
MI. McClimans carried $1,000 insur-
ance, and estimates his loss at $500.
After the fire, the fremen were in
vited by Mrs. Reid to the bakery where
a substantial lunch and steaming hot
coffee speedily recuperated their vigor.
Next day a subscription was taken for
them samong the Cashmere business
houses, and nearly $125 raised in a
few hours.
j. L. Torkelson, representing the
Washington Iron & Steel company, is
dividing his time this week between

quired for its plant.

That the ratio Of assessed valuation
of farm and personal property to the
valuation of all property has decreased
from % per cent to 1873 per cent in
the past five years, is shown by the re-
port Of the state tax commission. The
report also shows that during the past
five years 2,433,063 acres of raw land
have been placed under cultivation.
Railroad property has increased 273.9
per cent in assessed valuation and city
real estate 1891 per cent. While all
classes of property show an increase in
value, the greatest ratio of increase is
found to be upon public service cor
porations; next upon property of banks
and bankers, and third upon merchan-
die.

Of the Union Pacific railroad, 40 miles
west of Omaha. The weather was bit.

Herman Ernest and his assistant were
hauling hay q short distance from my

he did not leave the spot on the ap.

the wolf, which had its head close 70
the rails az If in a trap. After killing
the wolf, Herman tore the animal from
the rail and was astonished TO note
that its tongue was left attached 70 the
metals. subsequently I investigated
this curious incident and evolved the
following explanation. The morning pas
senger train had passed that point a
few minutes before Herman saw the
wolf and had run w a jack rabbit
leaving the blood on the rails, The wolf
had either been chasing the rabbit oil

court Of the United States with telling
effect. The association Of retail lum.

that the company had violated the an
THRUST law of the respective states.
Justice Lurton announced the opin.
ion of the court in the Mississippi case.
1t was his first utterance from the
supreme court bench on the "trust
question. He said the members Of
the association had obligated themsel.
YES not to deal with any manufacturer
or wholesaler in lumber, who sold to
consumers in the localities in which
they conducted a business sufficiently
large enough to meet the demands of
the public.
He accepted the findings of the state
courts and considered only whether
the statute was in conflict with the
fourteenth amendment by %abridging
the freedom Of contract.

HALLY's OME
SEEN IN MORNING
Brilliant Sight Although the
Tail Has Been Over Ad-
vertised; Nearest Earth
on Eighteenth of May.

Albuquerque Journal)


Halley's comet Is now plainly visi-
BILE and those desiring to see il should
set their alarm clocks at 4 o'clock, for
that is about the time il rises.
Many of the early risers have already
seen the comet and it Is growing more
brilliant all the time. IL In visible from
the time it rises until about 5 o'clock,
when the sun makes it impossible for
il longer to be seen.
The comet rises almost due east and
to the north Of the brilliant morning
star Venus. Venus is about n hour
higher up in the skies than the comet,
and when the interesting object comes
plainly into view IL is al n point be
tween Venus and where the sun rises
almost in a direct line between the
sun and Venus, Jupiter, Saturn and
Mars, but IL would be taken for one
of the smaller stars, without a second
look. Examined closely the thin light
Of the tail is apparent, stretching out
above the head or star.like object.
The tail is apparently not over W or
three feet in length and not yet bright.
1t always extends away from the sun.

II is skirting along the armament at "a
distance of about Al, 100000 miles from
the sun, but it is going to increase the
distance momentarily, and not again
for 76 years will it be so close. Its dis
lance from the earth is only III ,000, 900
miles, but on May Is, when the earth
is slated to fit through its tam, the
distance will be about 100000. AT
that time Halley's comet will be close
tO 100, 000, 900 miles from the sun.
The reason why the comet may be
see here aud not SO well, if at all, fur.
ther north, Is because the orbit Of the
comet il south Of the equator, bringing
it nearer points further south and max.
ing il much easier to see.
From now until May IS Haley s
comet will rise earlier than the sun.
by this it Is meant that it will creep
up on the east IN horizon from one houi
to two hours earlier than the sun, and
anybody can see it by getting up in
the morning at the right time. On May
10, Halley's comet gets directly between
the earth and the sun and her be.
comes visible in the evening sky.
About May 20 Halley's comet will set
as much as four hours after the sun and
is expected to be q flaming sword in
the heavens for a long time after dark.
II will appear in the western sky then,
just as it appears now in the eastern
sky.
Halley's comet is the first comet
whose return was successfully predict

Committee on Gambling Bill After the Man With the
 Checkered Suit

ALBANY, N. Y., April 13.-'I do not think the committee has any sym pathy for the use of official power sup pressively, as has been done,n :, said Senator Bracket, chairman of the codes committee hearing the Agnew-Perkins anti-oral bookmaking bills, addressing a number of race track officials, horse breeders and dealers in thorOughbreds, who are opposing the measure.
 "It is my belief that the committee would like to eliminate the professional gambler, the man with the checker board clothes, whether he makes books orally or with record. How would you do it?"
 A number of men interested in the sport expressed their views and as the result of this the committee will meet tomorrow and try to amend the measure so as to restrict the professional book, maker, while protecting the rights of those wishing to make friendly bet.
