FAST MAIL FOR THE
GREAT NORTHERN
SERVICE WOULD SHORTEN THE
TINE BETWEEN SEATTLE AND
ST. PAUL-P. O. DEPARTMENT
HAS ADVICES.

A reliable report has been received
in postofice circles from st. Paul that
the Great Northern Railway company
is about to establish a fast mail SER
vice from Spokane eastbound to cor
respond with train No. 81, between
Spokane and Seattle.
If this service Is instituted it will
mean fast mail train between Seat
tie and St. Paul that will surpass any
other service between those points
and Spokane will be the natural d.
vision point.
This movement is being made to
stimulate the standing Of the COM
pany for the mail carrying service
and also to bolster up the express
business. No advice of this service
has been received by the local Great
Northern officials, but G. A. MacDon-
aid, chief clerk in Spokane, states
that the postofice men would have
word on it before he would.

GETS NEW LEASE
Of LIFE

San Francisco, CAL, Feb. 4.-One
of the happiest men in the big prison
at San Quentin is Jacob Oppenheimer,
whose life would have been ended on
the gallows today but for writ of
error granted almost at the eleventh
hour by the state supreme court. The
fight to save Oppenhimer's life has
been carried on vigorously for the
last three years and not until the
Supreme Court of the United States
has had an opportunity to pass upon
the validity Of the California statute
under which he was sentenced to
death will his fate be finally deter
mined. While trying to escape from
San Quentin Oppenheimer slashed a
trusty with a breadknife. At the
time he was serving life sentence
for killing his cellmate. He was
sentenced under law which provides
the death penalty for ife-term con-
vict to attack a guard or fellow-con-

MINE
N MEIHON
SUPERINTENDENT OF BIG ALDER
NINE TELLS OF BIG CHUTE
ENCOUNTERED IN THE 5OO.FT.
LEVEL.

j. M. Scott, superintendent of the
Alder mine of Twisp, was in the
city yesterday on his way to Seattle
for short vacation. The Alder
mine has the prospects of becoming
one of the greatest ore producers in
the world, and mining men generally
recognize it as a big mine. Mr.. Scott
has not had a vacation for several
years and until power drills are in
stalled work has been suspended.
The Alder mine is located about
three miles from Twisp, and a great
deal of money has been spent in its
The owners are South
Dakota people and ample funds have
been provided for testing the ore
bodies, The values are in gold and
copper, and at the surface the ledge
is very small. At 100 feet depth the
ore chute had widened to 80 feet
and now at the 500 foot level there
is 100 feet of ore between walls. Mr.
Scott was not at liberty to give the
value of the ore per ton, but states
that it is Of sufficient value to make
the treatment of the ore very remu.
nerative.
Two years ago C.. NJ. Fassett, OF
Spokane, assayer, representing q
mining company, offered 100000
cash for the mine, but the offer
was refused. Recently a Scottish
syndicate offered 100000 for the
mine and it was also refused. The
future development of the mine de-
ponds a great deal on the railway
building in the Okanogan country
Should the Great Northern build UP
the Methow valley this summer it is
likely that a smelter will be put in
at once and the mine developed to
its fullest capacity. Mr.. Scott stated
that people generally do not recog-
nize the extent of the mining in
dustry in the Methow valley. From
his statement there are fully 20
properties that are in a position to
commence ore shipments at once.

AFFIRMED PRAU[
VERDICT
SUPREME COURT HOLDS THAT
RED MOUNTAIN MINING MAN
WAS GUILTY OF TRESPASSING
ON GROUND OF LEAVENWORTH
MEN

Prosecuting Attorney Fred Kemp
has just received information from
Olympia that the judgment in the
case of the State VS.. Praul has been
affirmed by the Supreme court.
Praul was convicted last April in
the superior court here Of Grimm
al trespass upon the mining claim
Pride of the West" owned by Post
master J. C Davis and DR.. J. e. Shore
of Leavenworth. The claim is
situated in the upper part Of Chelan
county and in what is known as the
Red Mountain mining district.
The case has been pending in the
courts for long time. Praul was
first convicted on this charge In the
justice court at Leavcnworth. He
appealed to the superior court and
nearly a year later was tried and
again convicted here. and from that
judgment he took appeal to the SUI
preme court.
-
Praul's attorneys claimed that the
only discovery that had been made
was, made in the "float rock" and
that therefore the Pride of the West
was not valid mining claim, and
without valid mining claim the
land was all government domain and
there could be no active trespass on
the alleged claim. The courts have
held, however. that DR.. Shore and
Mr.. Davis had a valid possessory
right in the claim which were in
vaded by Pranl and that the convic-
ton must stand. j
Defendant Praul was represented
in the supreme court by Attorney
Lewis ]. Nelson of Leavenworth ami
Attorneys Fred H. Peterson and
Phillip d. MacBride Of Seattle. and
the county by Attorneys Fred Kemp
and B. s. Ludington.
The verdict of the jury in the SUI
perior court was the imposition Of
q fine Of $50 and costs, which, by
the apepal. will amount to at least
$500.

IOOMANY APPEALS
GRANTED
JUSTICE BREWER DECLARES
COURTS PERMIT UNNECESSARY
DELAYS ON TECHNICALITIES-
PROPOSES ONE APPEAL FROM
TRIAL COURT.

New York, Feb. 3.-The cost Of IL
tigation delayed in administering the
law, the number OF appeals and the
current criticism Of the courts are the
themes discussed by Justice Brewer
of the United States supreme court
in an interview made public here to-
day.
In addition to sharp criticism of
the present law, and their enforce
ment, Justice Brewer adverted to the
growing problem of public ownership
of partly public enterprises, declaring
that there is every reason why COM
munities that can control the capital
should own direct and receive all the
benefits derived from water, lighting,
transit and transportation compan-
ies.'
In his discussion of the law, JUS
tice Brewer said: 1.-The seat OF the
whole trouble, in my opinion, is in the
fact that too many appeals are grant
ed when justice does not demand it.
A simple way to put 1t is to say that
our courts trifie with justice by per-
hitting delay after delay upon mere
technicalities. propose that the
the states enact laws that will permit
of but one appeal after the trial
Judge. The laws OF many states are
such that a judge is but little more
than moderator.
Justice Brewer added that he would
make one exception to the lone APP
pear plan, that OF cases where a SER
ious constitutional question is in
volved. The justice continued by say
ing that he favored the policy OF a
few lawyers who aided the court in
expediting cases. He declared the
great majority OF lawyers seemed to
feel that they were not living up to
their profession II they did not quib-
BILE over every detail and gain all the
delays possible. He closed his state
ment with an urgent plea for the ell
mination OF politics from the courts
Of the nation.

Ephrata, Feb. 4.-The recent de-

this valley are so vast as to be I'M

A few years ago the coyotes and
jackrabbits pursued the even tenor
of their way among the dreary look

and annoyance of the few struggling
ranchers. Land has now been taken
up 30 rapidly that there is practic-
ally no vacant land left for either
homestead or desert filing and many
contests are arising over what ex-
perts now regard as the richest. land
in the state-the fertile Ephrata and
Moses lake country.
The Pacific Monthly is preparing
an article for the next issue setting
forth the resources, development, and
possibilities of this valley. Their re-
porter is seeking news everywhere,
and taking pictures Of the ranches.

When the county commissioners

the county commissioners. The let
ter sent out is as follows:
The Best Route.
Dear Sir: AS you are aware, q
state road projected from Seattle to
Spokane was authorized at the last
legislature.
We believe that the best route
would lie through Kittitas, Yakima
Benton and Franklin counties.
A meeting of representatives from
all cities and towns interested should
be held to formulate plans for Sc
curing this road down the Yakima
valley. The county commissioners
of the state are to assemble in con-
vention at North Yakima February
Is and 16. Mr.. Sam Hill, Prof.
Lancaster, the state road engineer,
and the members of the state road
advisory board will also be present.
This will be good opportunity
for the people Of the valleys from
Gle Elum to Pasco to get together
and do some effective work previous
to the good roads convention at
Aberdeen.
You are, therefore, invited to be
present or represented by delegate
at a meeting to be held In the rooms
of the Commercial club, North Yak
