MANY PUBLIC MEN
WERE PRISONERS
Election of Caleb Power to Con-
gress Brings Out Interesting
Facts.

WASHINGTON. y. c., Sept. "a
When Caleb Powers, nominated for
congress by the republicans of the
Eleventh Kentucky district takes
his seat in the house his district be-
ing overwhelmingly republican. he
will not be the only man in high
public position in Washington who
has been in Jail for alleged crimes.
Powers. as is we'll known, was for
years in prison charged with COM
plicity in the murder of Governor
Goebel, and later pardoned by Gov
ernor Wilson. Justice Horace H..
Lurton, of Tennessee, was imprson-
ed at Columbus. Ohio, during the
civil war.
He was one of Gen. John II. Nor
gan's raiders with whom he was
captured on their rash venture into
Indiana and Ohio. General George
w. Gordon, representative from the
Tenth Tennessee district and com
mander Of the United Confederate as
sociation. spent some time in a north
ern prison after his capture at the
battle of Franklin, where, leading his
DIISdut III d tIidI 80 oii NV ohI'''
bre astworks, his horse carried him
far in advance of his men and into
the arms of merciful enemy, who
might have slain him, but spared him
for rest from his impetuosity in a
secure northern prison.
Congressman Richardson, of the
Eighth Alabama district, was In
1868 Confederate prisoner in q
Murfreesboro. Tennessee, Jail, under
sentence to hang as spy. He says
he would doubtless have met such
fate but for the fact that General
Forest surprised the Federals and
rescued him. So there will be two
members of the next house who have
had to suffer the agony of sentence
to death, when Caleb Powers takes
his seat.

The great great great grandfather
of the apples that sell in our mar
kets at five cents each was the little
green, sour, forest crab. Our ances-
tors roamed the forests of Europe,
clad IN the skins of animals, and fed
upon this fruit, as we feed now upon
Winesaps Spitzenbergs and New
towns. Should our ancestors enter
our fashionable parlors today, dress
ed as they dressed in ancient times,
we would he embarrassed. We would
not wish to introduce them to our
friends and say, These are the per-
sons who founded our family tree"
Just so with the crab and the modern
apple. they do not belong to the same
age, are not packed in the same box,
and II the modern apple could talk
and feel a social pride as people do,

while the crab would point with pride
to its descendants and bruskly rebuke

family; had the Latin name of "Py-
rus Malus" and was highly respected
by all who knew him. He would re-
mind them further, that his family
name of "Pyrus Malus," descended
from the old "Pyrus" family, from
which the "Pvrus Communis," or
common pear, is descended. He would
remind them further that old "Py-
rus boasted of more than so species
OF fruits as his descendants, such as
apples, pears and ounces. He would
remind them further that he himself
descended from the Honorable Haw-
thorn family, famed for the hardi-
ness of his wood; spiny, deciduous,
stipulate, serrate, staminate and that

What Caused These Changes?
The answers generally given are

EVIDENCE WAS THRICE
ARGUED AT OLYMPIA
After Being Convicted of Assault
In Lower Court, Toppenish
Man Goes Free.

Reversing the decision of the Yak
preme court of the state Thursday
rendered a verdict ir favor of the de-
PENDANT in the case of the state of
Washington against Nevada II. Lille,
accused of assault with intent to COM
nit murder. The case enjoyed no lit
tie prominence while being fought out
in the superior cour, here. being first
brought in 1905.
Lille, according to his attorney,
Henry J. Snively, was accused of as
saulting a carpenter in Granger and
was first prosecuted by E. B. Preble,
now superior judge of this county, and
1. M. Krutz. After a long and no.
torious trial he was convicted and
sentenced by Judge Rigg to a term
of two years in the state penitentiary.
Attorney Snively Immediately ap-
pealed the case to the supreme court,
where it was argued three times, the
court not being able to agree upon a
decision until early this week.
Before the supreme court the case
was argued once by Attorney Wende
during his term as prosecutor, the re-
naming arguments being presented
by J. Lennox Ward. the present in
cum bent.
Lille is an old timer in this section
and has both many friends and enc
mics. One of the strong points
brought out by Attorney Snively in
his arguments before the supreme
court was that his enemies and not
the evidence brought about his con-
viction in the lower court. The deci-
sion, according to Attorney Snively,
settles the case in Lilies favor.
Lille is now making his home in
Toppenish.

ISN'T MOTHER EARTH THE
COY OLD LADY? WON'T TELL HER
AGE: KEEPS EN- BUSY GUESSING

ured on the earth as a cooling star
and concluded that she must be about
$4,000, 900 years old. But he played
very safe by modifying his guess with
the statement that she might be as
young as 2O,000,00O years, and then
again might be as much as 10000
900 years old.
Kelvin Renieged.
In 1898 Clarence King and Carl
Barus, figuring on tidal stability"
concluded that Mother Earth was
100000 years old, going on 25,000,-
900. This so impressed Lord Kelvin
that he cut his maximum guess down
from 100000 to 100000.
About that time also Secretary Wal
cult of the Smithsonian institution
got busy in the guessing game. He
based his guess on the average rate of
alluvial deposit. He decided that
something like 27s40,OOO years have
elapsed since the Cambrian rock
foundations We're laid, and guessed
that the earth must be under 10000
600 years.
Is Ocean Older?
Not to be outdone in guessing by
the Americans, ]. Jolly, an English
man, in 1899 guessed that the world
must Ire between S0,00O,000 and 90,
100000 years old, and last year w. j.
S. Sollas, another Englishman, fig
ured out the age of the ocean as being
between S0,000,000 and 150,000,000
years. This raises the interesting
question as to whether the earth could
possibly be older than the ocean, or
the ocean older than the earth. This,
too, might make good guessing.
The only fact that seems to be es-
tablished by all this guessing is this:
The world is old.
They all seem to agree on that.
They are all confident that she has
been spinning down the ringing
grooves of change for some little time
at least.
Those More Interesting.
If they could only agree on the
question as to whether she looks her
age or not, or as to just how she
looks her age, then folks might get
some figures worth while, but as long
as the best guess must hedge by
specifying a leeway of 100000
years, most folks will doubtless find
more amusement in guessing as to
whether the Athletics can keep the
pace, or as to whether DR.. Cook can
come back.
Or as to how old Lillian Russell is.

NEW PROJECT CALLED
GLENDALE ORCHARDS
Yakima Orchard Land Company
Will Develop Large Areas
Near North Yakima.

What promises to be of more than
passing interest in development cir
cles is the announcement by the Yak
ina Orchard Land company that they
will immedi lately start development on
tract of approximately 1900 acres
of fruit land lying about twelve miles
west, and a little to the south. of this
city. This land is watered by the Lesh
canal a good part of same being al
ready under cultivation. but will all
be planted to apples and pears as rap
idly as possible.
A reporter of The Herald inter-
viewed Mr. Sims. president of the
company, yesterday afternoon, who
gave out the following statement:
The Yakima Orchard Land COM
pany is taking up orchard develop
ment as a strictly business proposition
and on a business basis Our plan
differs from the ordinary develop
ment company in that their land Is
usually sold in the raw. together with
"A satisfactory water right. while IL Is
our intention to develop each tract Of
land sold, ana deliver the purchaser
class crop Of sage brush.
I'VE realize there Is a great demand
for orchards by many non-residents
who are unable to give their own
time and attention to the growing Of
commercial orchard, yet they want
to feel absolutely certain that the
orchard will receive proper attention,
and often desire to purchase same on
the easy payment plan. We have Ger
tainly made the terms entirely salts
factory while We guard the purchaser
against any slip-shod methods of de-
velopmcnt by agreeing 10 refund his
money if the orchard IS not entirely
sat sfactory to him. We are backing
our faith in the Qakima valley and
the apple Industry with our money
and | believe the personnel Of our
trustees will quickly dispel any doubt

But She's Old Enough, Goodness
knows-Maybe 55,COO,OOO,
Maybe 100000, According
to the Latest Guess.

WASHINGTON, d. c., Sept. 81
This old earth of ours is as coy and
deceitful as any maiden lady when it
comes 70 the matter of telling her
age. She simply won't tell in plain
figures, so that any common mortal
can understand, so for generations
scientists have been having guess
ing game with Mother Earth's age.
The latest guess comes from the
Smithsonian institution. Frank Wig
ellsworth Clarke and George +. Beck
er Of the L. S. geological survey have
worked out the guess between them,
Mr.. Clarke in a bulletin, entitled "A
Preliminary Study of Chemical Deduc-
tion'-whatever that is-and Mr..
Becker under the plain caption, The
Age Of the Earth"
What an Old Lady.
And the guess is:
Not under 100000 years.
Not over 100000 years
Oh. my, oh, my; what an old lady!
According to this guess the theo-
logical chronologist who once figured
out that the world was created near
the autumnal equinox" something
over 5000 years ago, was a trifle
astray III his reckoning.
HALEY Had an Idea.
This scientific prNing into the age
of the earth has been going on for a
long time now. Nearly 200 years ago
one Edmund Haley, a great astrono-
mer, figured out way to find out
how old the world was by finding out
how old the ocean was. He concluded
that if he could find out how much
saltier the ocean got each year, he
could easily figure out how long it
had been since the ocean was a per-
fectly fresh ocean, right off the Gre
ative reel But he found he couldn't
find out how much saltier the ocean
got every year, so he had to give it
up. Just as well. The guess of the
man who would make a fuss over
such a pale apology for comet as
the late lamented luminosity that
gum-shoed across our corner of space
wouldn't be much of a guess any
how.
About 80 years ago Lord Kelvin I'M
dertook to make the guess. He fig
