under early cultivation. homes for several

the present movement.
There is no pretence the part of those
interested in dry farming to minimize the

Dave Evans is not
The Spokane Suicide

That Dave Evans, the young man
who was supposed to have committed
suicide in Spokane several days ago be-
cause of love affairs that were not
turning out very well, is not the person
found with a bullet hole in his temple,
was established beyond doubt yester-
day when Cecil Olsen who went to the
Falls City to establish the identity OF
the dead man returned here and stated
that he had never seen the deceased
before Olsen is in a position to know,
as Evans was employed in the Olsen
restaurant for a period of two years
and during this time became very ia
miliar with the man. Spokane authorl-
ties are now confronted with the double
mystery of proving the identity of the
dead man and of locating Evans.
Lending further to the belief that
Evans did not commit suicide is that

reason for him to kill himself.
The theory is advanced that perhaps
Evans had his own reasons for disap-
pearing and that similarity of appear
ance led those who only knew him cas-
ually, to believe the dead body to be
Evans With the news that the dead
body was not Evans came the rumor
here yesterday that he had been seen
in Portland the first of the week. This
however, could not be established to
certainty.

hotel in Spokane last Wednesday as

hours later his body was found with
bullet hole in the temple. Every pre-
caution has been taken to conceai

ton marks destroyed. William Griggs

Because of a shortage of 1858, anu
the absence Of funds in the treasury
members of the local Cooks and Wait
ers' union have impeached former ofn-
cials elected new men to take their
nlaces. and have appointed an investl-
eating committee to probe into the bad
lv-denleted accounts, in order that the
responsibility for existing conditions
might be placed.
Discovery of the wrecked condition
of the local treasury came with the
failure of the union to pay dues to the
Trades and Labor council. tlndlng
that the Cooks and Walters union
was badly in arrears in the payment
of it's dues, officials of the councll
summoned officers of the union pc
fore them and found out that the
treasury was bare of funds. 1t was
further found that the accounts were
mixed and that money turned in by
members as dues since last Marcn
were unaccounted for. Under super
vision Of the trades council the ola
officials were summarily removed and
a. new election ordered and subse"
quently held.

Business Agent Roy Gentry who has
left the city, were summoned to ap-
pear before the investigating commit

That prosecution will follow as soon
as the responsibility for the shortage
is determined, is stated by the newly
elected officers of the union.
Indignation at the manner in which
the members of the union have been
mulcted of their cash paid in as dues
is general among the members. 1t is
asserted by members that dues were
collected and no account made except
for the receipts which individual
members happen to have preserved.
By this means the investigating COM
mittee is attempting to fix the exact
amount of the shortage which now
totals 1868.

gime it is said, is determined to
thoroughly probe the matter and bring
the guilty person to justice. At

ately it would take more than two
years to repair the tremendous damage
done to the subways and other under
ground construction.
Under the direction of the chamber
of deputies the health department to-
day called upon special commission
of sanitary experts to formulate ways
and means of combating the fearful I'M
minence of pestilence which is threat

The water rose rapidly this evening

1t was announced by the govern
ment officials tonight that the crest of
the flood may be expected Friday morn
ing. 1t is estimated the Seine at Paris
then will have reached a stage of 80
feet and one inch. Temporary subsl-
dence at noon today was caused by
break in the WALL which let a great
volume of water into the Bercy section,
but this afforded no important relief.
The belief that the crest of the flood
will be reached tomorrow is based on
reports received from points 100 miles
up the Seine, where the water is now
falling.

CITY GOVERNMENT BY
AMATEURS.

Washington is the nations city. So
it's administrators are national offic-
ers, and their selection is a matter
of national interest. While they are
not charged with legislative duties, as
these belong to congress, they have a
wide latitude of action, and on their
efficiency and constructive ability de-
velopment of the city is largely de-
pendent.
Unfortunately municipal experts
have never been put at the head of
the district and city government. The
retiring commissioners were newspa-
per correspondents. who, although
they performed their novel duties with
intelligence, had had not training for
the work. They are to be succeeded
by two citizens of Washington who
have just been appointed by President
Taft. One of them, Cuno H. Rudolph,
is a hardware merchant. The other,
John A. Johnson, was bragadier gen
eral in the regular army, who resign
ed seven years ago, to become identi-
fled with a loan trust company in
Washington.
The new commissioners are regarded
in Washington as men of good capa-
city, and their appointment is receiv-
ed with salts action. 1t is unfortu-
undertaken the innovation of a NUM-
cipal government for the national cap
ital conducted by experts.

were also exploited Under shipping,
the speaker explained why great. care
should be used in handling the fruit
