the department today will be de-
cided disappointment to the business
community of Wenatchee The fig
ures announced are a slight cut I'M
der those originally turned in by the
census enumerators having charge OF
the census taking in Wenatchee. The
cut, however. is very slight and We
natchee has not the kick coming as
has many other localities in the state.
1t has been generally known since
would not equal that taken by the
Polk directory people over a year
ago, but people generally have eX-

Greatest Gain i'm the State.
While the figures in themselves
are disappointing. yet Wenatchee
people have the satisfaction of know

ten years.

Hydrophobia, or rabies, is usually
transmitted by bites. he says. The
disease is carried from one animal
to another, the period of incubation
ranging from week to 10 months.
The infected animal froths at the
mouth, is haggard and emaciated in
body, has a wild look in the ewes.
and has a tendency to bite every
thing.
Owners are cautioned to keep all
animals tied in a protected place on
their own premises.
Coyotes infected with rabies lose
their natural shyness and enter
towns, biting all that comes in their
way. In the present outbreak, coy

cipal carriers of infection and the au-

measures to exterminate all coyo-

Wenatchee can make the boast

the past ten years. No other town
in the state can show the growth OF
the Big Red Apple metropolis.
WcnatChee Ten Years Ago.
Ten years ago Wenatchee was a
forlorn looking little sagebrush town.
The streets were full Of big rocks.
There were a few who appreciated
the future of the city, but to the av-
erage man throughout this section
of the state Wenatchee was a joke.
Frank Reeves, who edited the
first paper published in Wenatchee,
said in his first issue: There will
some day be city of $4,000 inhab-
itants located at the confluence of
the Wenatchee river with the Co
lumbia." The matter was read by
everybody as the evanescent dream
of an editor. Now no one who is
conversant with the country tribu-
tary has any doubt as to $4,000 pop
ulation of the not far distant future.
A copy OF the Wenatchee Advance

the editors desk of the Daily World.

GEORGIA BANK SHORT.

Shortage of $4,000 Discovered in the
Citizens Bank of Swainsboro.
Swainsboro, Ga.-A shortage of at
least $4,000 has been discovered in
the accounts of the Citizens Bank of
this place, as a result of which Hugh
d. Strickland, cashier, and l.. w. Pom
der, former bookkeeper, are under
bond of $4,000 each, and bank ex-
aminers from Atlanta are still work
ing on the books of the institution.
A short time ago Mr.. Ponder re-
signed his position of bookkeeper and
went to live in Florida. A bookkeep-
er was secured to temporarily fill the
place, and in a day or so after he
went into the bank he reported to
President Copeland that be would
have to resign the position, stating
that the cash books called for GER
tain amount Of money and that the
money was not in the vault. Imme-
diately two examiners were wired for
from Atlanta, and casual examina-
ton developed the fact that there
was shortage Mr.. Ponder, hearing
that an examination was on, came
to Swainsboro from Florida, follow
ing a conference between Ponder and
the bank officials. Mr.. Strickland was
relieved of his duties as cashier, and
both men placed under bond.

ROOSEVELT TO ENTER
POLITICS IN INDIANA
Ex-PYeSident to Spellbind In In
diana For Beverage.
kern is OPPOSING BEVERIDGE
Roosevelt Placing Himself Squarely Against
President TAFT Insofar as the Tariff
Law Figures.

Oyster Bay, N. Y.-Albert Bever'
idge, United States senator from In
diana, and one of the most prominent
and consistent of the progressive
republicans, came down from Saga
more Hill with promise from Theo'
dore Roosevelt to deliver campaign
speech in his fight for reelection to
the senate. Mr.. Beveridge departed
content and smiling, but he left it
for the colonel to make announce
ment of the proposed campaign
speech in the senator's behalf. And
this is what Mr.. Roosevelt said:
"Mr. Foulke, and Mr.. Swift came
to request me to go to Indiana and
speak in behalf Of Senator Bever-
idge. promised them that l would. 7
{. He, added that he had agreed to
make only one speech for the sena-
tor, and as far as is now known he
will make only one. The time and
place for this speech has not been
fixed.
Those who have followed the po-
litical conferences at Oyster Bay
since Theodore Roosevelts return,
share the belief that he has been
feeling his way cautiously in his at
titude toward the administration and
the insurgents, but these incldenls
are considered the most important
yet developed Senator Beverage is
making his fight for reelection as an
insurgent. He is opposed by John
w. Kern, who ran with Bryan in the
last campaign.
In his fight the senator is placing
himself squarely against President
Taft, insofar as the tariff law figures
The law which the president has de
Tended as the best tariff measure
ever is denounced without equivocR
ton by the senator and the same re
publican state convention which in
dorses Beveridge for another tern
virtually repudiated the law. In the
senate Beveridge fought the bill tc
the last, and then voted against it.
1t is pointed out, however, thai
with this exception President Taft
and the senator from Indiana have
been pulling together as far as admin
istration policies are concerned.

democratic candidate for Albert J.
Beverages seat in the United States
senate, and the democratic candidate
for vice president at the last national
election, said that he had received a
private communication from New
York that Colonel Thodore Roosevelt
would speak in Indiana on Mr.. Bever
idge's behalf. He declined to state
whether he would answer Colonel
Roosevelt on the stump.

ADVICE TO FARMERS.
Ten Things Which Should Be Done on the
Farm During July.

Cd. Lay-by all crops in the right
way-with level and shallow Guilt
walton. The old ridging, root-cutting
methods have cost the south millions
of dollars, Don't lay-by too soon,
and be sure to plant peas between
corn rows as far as practicable.
(2.) Don't let your stubble land
loaf. Put them to growing cowpeas
or soy beans as quickly as possible
now.
(S.) Haul up grain or tnresh just
as soon as it becomes dry enough.
If straw is stacked outside, put it
up so that it will keep dry and sound.
(4.) If you have a permanent
meadow, take care Of the hay crop.
Don't cut too much at time, and
don't delay cutting until the seed
have ripened and the stems become
hard and dry.
(5.) Clean up the weed patches
about the barn and feed lots, and
along the roadsides, bitches and ter
races. The mower, scythe and mat
took will do their very best work
along this line these hot days.
co. Look after the hogs To thrive
now they must have pure water, plan
ty of feed, clean quarters and shade.
Filth to eat or to live in is a great
promoter of cholera and other dis
eases.
90 Keep the garden going and
eat less meat and more fruit and
vegetables. Arrange to have FRESH
vegetables all through the fall and
winter as far as possible, and canned
or preserved Where fresh can not
be had.
(89 See that there are screens
to the doors and windows to keeT
out disease-carrying flies, and at
least one cool, shaded place about
the house where the housekeepeI
and children can go to rest.
90 Take an occasional half-day's
or days outing, and give your wife
and children the same privilege. Eat
picnic dinner now and then, and
let the women folks" get rest from
the hot work in the kitchen. The
fireless cooker will be godsend tt
your wife now.
(10) After the crops are lain-by
give your time to stirring up your
neighbors about things that Will helI
the neighbornood Get Farmers
Institute and an Institute for Farm
Women; start some plan for better
roads; get up a petition for rural
mail delivery, and for farm demon
stration work, if you>haven't them al
ready; see if you can't get rural
telephone system; if your school is
poor, agitate local taxation or consol.
idation districts, and see if you can
not get more good newspapers and
farmers bulletins into the homes OF
your neighbors. Raleigh IN. c. Pro

tries Of that territory, the bureau of

presenting in alluring terms the pos
sibilities of growing, manufacturing
and exporting cocoanuts and their
by-products. It is said the nut thrlves
better there than anywhere else in
the West Indies; that the trees grow
wild along the sandy coast, requiring
no care and thrive where other trees
would die. A tree produces one hun
bred nuts per year, sold on the tree
at / cent each, or when gathered at
S1S to $40 per one thousand, and they
sell at a profit Of more than 100 per
cent in New York.

fed United States Senator Leroy

rich will make early In the fall, will
depend the decision as to whether a

been decided upon by President Taft
and Senator Aldrich. Senator Aid
rich's western tour was not regarded
as successfully in bringing about a
final verdict y II sentiment in tne
south proves to be favorable to a
central bank, it is probable that
currency reform bill will be intro
duced next January, thus giving Sem
ator Aldrich an opportunity to start

RAILROAD BLOCK SYSTEMS.
2,Ooo.l Miles OF Track Of Southern Railway IS
Equipped with Safety Appliance.

Atlanta, Gas-The bulletin just is-
sued by the Interstate Commerce
commission, giving the mileage Of
railways in the United States operat-
ed by the block system on January 4
1910, shows that two thousand and
eighty miles Of track on the Southern
railway, constituting thirty percent
Of the entire mileage of the system,
is now eQuipned with this safety APP
pliance Included in this are the en-
tire main line from Washington TO
Atlanta and on to Birmingham, the
line from Bristol to Chattanooga, that
from Chattanooga to Atlanta and
Macon, ard other important sections.
In the entire United States there are.
only seven railway systems with a.
greater mileage so operated than has
the Southern. No other railway In
the south operates anything like so
large mileage with the block sys-
tenn.
The system in use on the Southern
railway Is what is known as the
telegraph block" Suitable soma
phone signals are erected at intervals
Of about five miles along the road to
guide the engineman in the control
of his train The space between these
signals Is called a block and two pas
senger trains are under no circum-
stances permitted in a single block
at the same time.
The working OF this system may be
best explained by taking two block
stations, Gainesville, Ga, and Oak
i = g.. IL A IL. 49,
proaches Gainesville bound for At
lanta. The operator at Gainesville
asks the operator at lakewood If he
can have the block for the approach
ing train.
II there are no trains between
Gainesville and lakewood the operator
gives the required permission and
both operators make a record Of the
time, train number, etc. The opera
tor at Gainesville then clears the sig
nal by pulling 1t down to an angle
of about sixty degrees below horizon
| tai, after the train comes in sight.
That is called clearing the signal
and is done after the train comes into
sight to assure the engineer that the
| signal Is cleared for him and he WILL
| not proceed into the block unless he
sees 1t go clear" This assures him
that he is not taking signal given
q preceding train. AS soon as the
train passes the signal the operator
returns the signal to horizontal pc.
sition, this indicates danger, stop, and
it remains in this position as long al
the train Is In the block. It will be
noted that two men, one at each enc
of the block, must cooperate to al
low a train to enter, this provides 9
check which effectually prevents mis-
takes, 1t being unlikely that two mer
would make the same mistake at the
same time.
To install this system has necessi
tated the employment Of large mum
Der Of additional telegraph operators
and the expenditure Of large
amount Of money for line wire sig
nails, etc, but the officials Of the
Southern railway believe that the ex
penditure is warranted because of the
safety it affords their patrons from
accidents due to collisions.
