the Texas oil proposition, from the
Wall street point of view, and his latest
achievement in declaring an extra so
per cent stock dividend has attracted
widespread attention. The question
now has arisen as to whether he pro-
poses becoming an active competitor
Of Standard Oil.
Gates has increased the capitalization
Of his company from $12, 100000 to
$18, 100000 and announcement has
been made Of the company's intention
in a short time to further increase the
capitalization to $50. 100000.
Whatever may have induced John
W. Gates to break into the Texas oil
field, there is reasonable belief that he
is now going it alone" is making a
great success of the corporation and
making money hand over fist"
Being in this position of command,
Wall street theories that whatever may
have been the initial causes, Mr.. Gates
is now in a position to make unpleasant
reprisals on the Standard Oil company if
at any time he should so desire.

John II. MCGraw

John H. McGraw, second governor
of Washington, who presided over the
states destinies from 1898 to 1897,
died at his home in Seattle, Thursday
evening, June 23rd. The struggle
with death, extending over nearly four
months, ended peacefully. For 48
hours preceding the end he was un-
conscious.
Governor McGraw was first attacked
with neuralgia and two weeks later his
physicians discovered what they be-
lieved was septic poisoning. Later
on typhoid fever developed, accom-
panied at night by severe chills, max
ing the case an unusual one. Thru it
all he battled with the energy Of a man
OF indomitable will, and showed the
qualities that had characterized him
thruout his career of almost sixty years.
John Harte McGraw, son Of Daniel
and Catherine McGraw, was born at
Barker Plantation, Penobscot county,
Maine, near the Canadian border, Oct.
4, 1850. When he was little more
than two years old his father drowned
in the Penobscot river. His mother
was left with three small children, and
as the governor often expressed it,
poverty in abundance"
McGraw became clerk in little
country store, then its proprietor. Un-
able to withstand the fierce panic ol
1873 and compelled to abandon the
general merchandise business, he came
to the Pacific coast, worked as horse
car driver in San Francisco, and then
drifted to Seattle, where he became in
turn hotel clerk, hotel proprietor, po-
liceman, city marshal and chief of po-
lice, sheriff, bank president, and gov.
ernor of his adopted state.

We are certain OF large increase
in the membership" said Mr.. Haines,
in speaking Of the outlook for the local
court. Il feel confident that we will
secure by July oath the so new mem
bers we have set out to get. With this
increase, Court Icicle should be in a
position to make its meetings pleasant
and attractive, and its future growth an
assured fact. The organization de-
partment will stand behind the court in
every effort to make it expand, and
will from time to time send organizers
into the field to assist in the work Of
building up.
We have an order that has no peer
in any of the excellent features for
which fraternal societies are noted.
Our assets are more than SIS, 500, 900,
making the I. o. F. the richest frater-
nal insurance order on earth.
I see no reason why Icicle Court,
of Leavenworth, should not be as sue
cessful as other courts thruout the
country and I am sure it will. For the
past several years have been engaged
in fraternal work in the Northwest, and
have conducted campaigns in many oi
the small towns and some of the larger
ones. So far have not found city
of this size that has offered the posi-
bilities for successful organization work
that Leavenworth does. Money is
more plentiful here than in any Other
town Of this size in the state of Wash
ington. The fraternal spirit is strong,
and the resources of the surrounding
country assure the place rapid and
permanent growth. -

WORK FOR COMMERCIAL ~
The West End of the County Should be
Represented in the Great North
ern Exhibit Car

Fruits, vegetables, grains and grasses
from every county and district in the
state OF Washington will be exhibited
in the Great Northern exposition car,
which is to start from Spokane early
next October on a tour of the central
and eastern states. In addition there
will also be exhibits of Washington
products at Seattle, Spokane, St. Paul,
Chicago, and other cities in the eastern
states.
o. A. Atwood, representing the rail-
road company, has delegated the Spo-
kane chamber of commerce to invite
growers in all parts of the state to for
ward fruits, vegetables, grains and
grasses to Martin ]. Vessels, superin-
tendent of the permanent exhibit of the
Spokane chamber Of commerce, who
will process them for the company.
Products should be designated by the
name of the county in which they are
raised, and sent by express, collect, to
Mr.. Vessels.
All kinds of berries and cherries
now in season should be sent at once"
said Mr.. Atwood, adding: I'VE would
like also peas and beans on vines; car
rots, parsnips and turnips with tops;
celery in punches; corn, all kinds Of
melons, onions, cucumbers, squash,
potatoes, caulihower and tomatoes. We
will also want alfalfa, timothy, clover,
wheat, oats, barley, rye and other
grains.
Louis w. Hill, president of the
Great Northern, is keenly interested in
the matter Of exploiting the resources
and products of the state of Washing
ton thruout the East, and believes that
in no other or better way can it be ac-
complished than in having an exhibit
car tour the eastern states, where per
manent exhibits will also be main
tanned in the larger cities.
The Washington car covered II
states last fall and winter, and was the
means of directing the attention Of
thousands to the state OF Washington,
and we look for even greater results
this year"

FIREWORKS AT WENATCHEE
Magnificent Spectacle Arranged for Fourth
of July Evening Features

The Fourth of July committee has
entered into a contract, at great ex-
pense, with Hit Brothers, the famous
pyrotechnic artists, for what is prom
ised TO be one of the finest spectacles
ever shown in the Northwest. Hit
Brothers fireworks made the best i'm
preston of any which were shown at
the A. Y. P. exposition, and some OF
their most special features shown at
Seattle last summer will be shown in
Wenatchee on the Fourth OF July.
They will send an operator three days
in advance who will superintend the
construction of a rack ESQ long and rs
feet in height. This device is neces'

set pieces. The location for the dis
play cannot be chosen until the ex'

announced at later date.
Among the 50 features are flag

The Tribune is an insurgent repub-
lican. That doesn't mean that it is
going to attempt to defeat its party at
the polls. It doesn't necessarily mean
that we are going to tear our shirts to
get both senators on the other side Of
the mountains. 1t doesn't mean that
we are going to line up with any one
clique in the party as against another
clique. Such actions may be neces-
sary later on, but we hope not. Any
time they are necessary we are going
to kiss the old republican party good
by. The republican party has become
great by organization and thru redeem
ing its promises to the people. In our
opinion the present party leaders have
failed to make good. They have failed
to redeem their promises. If that is
correct, which is the thing to do
split up our party into half dozen diff
ferent factions, or reorganize it? Start
an opposition party, or purify the old
one?-Lynden Tribune.

DROWNED IN LAKE UNION
Aaron D. Mitchell Son of A. L. Mitchell,
Seized with Cramps Last Sunday
While Taking a Swim

A telegram was received here last
Sunday evening, announcing the death
of young Mitchell and was delivered to
his father Monday. A. L. Mitchell
left for Seattle Monday afternoon. The
young man, who had made his home
in Seattle for the last three years, was
well known here where he frequently
visited his parents. His mother died
about year ago. He was an unus-
ally bright and promising young man,
universally liked for his amiable and
manly character. Universal regret is
expressed over the sad affair.
The following account of the sad
affair appeared in last Mondays P.-I.:
Aaron D. Mitchell, "a years old, a
reporter in the employ Of the Seattle
Office of Bradstreet's mercantile agen-
cy, was drowned in Lake Union yes
terday afternoon before the eyes OF his
bosom friend and roommate, John w.
Mexican, who made frantic effort to
save him.
The two young men, who have lived
at the home of McKean's father, c. D.
Mexican, retired merchant, at I'LL
Ravenna boulevard, recently purchased
a small sailboat. Yesterday afternoon
the two young men went out for sail
on Lake Union. They had gone about
500 feet from the foot of Newton street
when Mitchell suggested that they
take swim.
Mitchell, who was wearing a swim
ming suit and had been in the water
twice, for a third time plunged into
the lake and swan about 100 feet from
the boat. Mexican was busy undress-
ing when he heard Mitchell shout:
Hurry, hurry, Jack, hurry, I'm go
ing downl''
Mexican, who is strong swimmer
and has taken several prizes for his
skill in the water, swan rapidly toward
his companion.
Stick her out. old man, Pm COM
ing, hold on!" shouted Mexican as his
powerful strokes brought him nearer
Mitchell.
AS Mexican approached within ten
feet of Mitchell the drowning man
sank for the last time.
Mexican dived in an effort to save
Mitchell, and finally returned to the
boat exhausted. He put for shore,
where he notified residents living on
the lake front, and later joined search
ers who, with graphing hooks, tried to
recover Mitchell's body. Efforts will be
renewed today.
Mexican says Mitchell was a good
swimmer and spent great deal OF time
during the summer months about the
lake.
Mitchell came to Seattle about three
years ago, and has been in the employ
OF Bradstreet's for about year. He
and Mexican were in the same class at
Wilson'S Business college.

FATE or A KANSAS APPLE ORCHARD
After 25 Years of Improbable Existence
500 Acres of Trees Destroyed

A tragedy was recently enacted in
Kansas--namely, the deliberate burn
ing of 800 acres of trees. 1t was not
the sort OF destruction that is so har-
rowing to the soul Of Clifford Pinchot.
1t was worse than that, for the trees
burned were not those of the forest,
but of an orchard. They were apple
trees-65, 900 of them, or thereabout.
These trees were planted 25 years
ago and were in the prime OF life at
the time of their destruction. The
man who planted them there looked
forward to the time when the fruit from
their branches would bring him for
tune, and he cultivated and cared for
them TO the best of his ability. They
grew and fourished for few years, but
when the time came for them to bear
they produced little or no fruit. Then
the soil was examined-a proceeding
that had been overlooked in the begin
ning-and it was found not to be
adapted to apple growing. The sub
soil into which the roots Of the trees
penetrated did not supply the elements
necessary to the formation Of fruit.
The owner experimental while long
er, hoping to furnish the needed ele-
ments thru fertilizers, but to no effect.
Occasionally there would be light
crop of apples, but the orchard as a
whole was a failure. Finally he gave
up in discouragement and sold it to a
man who proceeded to burn up the
trees and turn the 800 acres into a
cornfeld.
The man who had planted the or
chad looked on and felt sorrow at see
ing those trees burn, tho he knew it
was the proper course. But they were
trees that represented hope and labor,
and satisfaction in their growth. And
they were living, and in going down
by the ak and by fire they seemed to
reproach him, for no one with imagina-
ton can work with trees and plants
without feeling that they all have a
certain sentient life. 1t was real
tragedy, the burning Of that orchard,
and the one consoling reflection is that
possibly the apples it might have grown
were Ben Davises. Haute Star.

This Paper Never Answers Their Inquiry

At last the newspaper fraternity has
a chance to get rich quick-thru pat
ent medicine company. Their mag
nifcent proposition is to set up and
run GO solid inches Of medicine adver-
tisements and two-inch plate all for
the extraordinary amount of IS, paya-
BILE semi-annually. Why, the cost Of
setting this on a machine, the cheap
est way known. would only be $4.15,
and the publisher has the vast sum OF
IS cents for his years work. But he
is usually docked an issue or two for
good luck, is out a certain amount Of
postage and $50 for years sub
scription to his paper, or is easily out
$40 in the deal, besides the cost OF
distribution and circulation. A man is
fool to ever give such a proposition
a second thought. Quincy Quill.

Wholesome Country Life

There are statistics for everything
these days, and the number of people
who are compiling them must surely
be immense. We noticed recently that
the women of New York had smoked
over $500,000 worth of cigarettes dur
ing the past year. We are so little fa-
miliar with the price Of an individual
cigarette that we will not attempt to
compute the number smoked. From
the number that small boys and worth
less young men addicted to the habit
use, knowing how little they really
earn, it would seem that they were in
expensive. However, it is probable
that if this amount of money were spent
by women, it came from pocketbooks
where money is not so scarce as it is in
some of ours, and was spent by women
who buy quality of goods very differ
ent from that which the worthless Gig
arctic fends indulge in. Be that as
it may, the fact still remains that the
number of women who are using to-
bacco is on the increase. Not only is
it tobacco but liquor as we'll may be
placed on the same list. Indulgence
in these things will be largely confined to
the cities, for long time at least, per-
haps always. In the country, as we live,
to most of us there is no inducement
for such things.
The class of people who find such
indulgences necessary are what might
be termed hot-house people. To a
great extent they are the people of the
leisure class. They do not know the
exhilaration of outdoor life as we live
it. They do not know what whole
some fatigue is. They sleep when the
largest part Of the world is fresh, and
then instead of wholesome, earnest work,
they fritter away the hours. They
must have something to do, and usual
ly the most exhilerating and easiest is
to eat, drink, smoke, dance, play cards,
etc. Nearly everyone in this world
seems to be looking out for the easiest
Job. No, not nearly everyone, either,
but a whole lot are, and when it is not
necessary to do real work, whereby the
necessities of life are secured, it comes
very natural to spend the time enjoy
ing ones self. There are propably few
of these womenwho take liquor straight
They use it in cocktails, sherberts
punch, etc. To women who have theil
own homes to superintend and some
or all of the work to look after, there i:
no desire for these things. These peo'
pie need more sound work to do-tC
be put into the open air and made Il
exercise; to be given something to thini
about worth while. They can hardly
be called criminals, but they are surely
the antecedents Of such class.
