WHAT THE WEATHER
MAN SAYS TODAY

The barometer has fallen consid-
erably over the Rocky Mountain
region, where a trough like area of
moderately low pressure extends
from western Canada to Arizona,
with center over southern Alberta
AS a result of this low pressure,
rain has been general from the
north Pacific coast to the northern
Rockies. A thunderstorm was re-
ported in southeastern Washington.
Moderately low pressure extends
eastwardly from the lake region;
but moderately high pressure pre-
walls between the Rockies and This
low, resulting in a prevalence of
fair weather from the Pacific to the
Atlantic, excepting the rain already
mentioned in the extreme north
west and light rain in Massachu-
sets yesterday. Slightly higher
temperatures are somewhat preva-
lent, with considerably higher about
the upper Ohio valley, the lake re-
gion and Pennsylvania. Conditions
this morning give a probability of
fair weather tonight and Sunday in
this vicinity. Chas. Stewart, Local
Forecaster.

End FRAUD
IN TIMBER
LAND SALES
COMMITTEE DISCOVERS THAT
THE STATE HAS LOST MIL.
LIONS OF DOLLARS.
(By United Press Leased Wire)

(By United Press Leased Wire)
OLYMPIA, April e.-The report
Of the legislative investigating COM
mittee appointed by the legislature
last year, which has just been made
public by Governor Hay, is the sub.
ject of much speculation by house
officials here today, and the uIti-
mate results Of the recommends
tions are expected to have far
reaching effects.
The report, while covering a vari-
ETY. of matters, deals most extern
siyely with the state land depart
meat and the findings charging the
loss of millions of dollars to the
state through the incompetency or
dishonesty of land office cruisers
and through poor judgment in the
selection of state indemnity and
government land grants.
The frauds practiced on the state
through collision or incompetency
of cruisers. it is asserted, have ey-
listed for number of years and spe-
cific instances are recited covering
the peIlOO from lSUl TO the present
time and embracing part or all of
the administration of the two COM
missioners.
1t appears from the report that
the stand of timber on many quar-
ter sections of land has been
greatly underestimated by the cruis-
ers and that although the land and
timber were offered at public auc-
ton, the sales brought to the state
only small fraction of the value
of the property.
The committee recommends a re-
vision of the state land laws, the
creation of two appointive members
of the land board and provision for
the cruise of all state timber lands.
Another recommendation is that
the investigation of the land depart
ment be continued.
The report eXonerates the state
Oil inspector. but declares that the
present inspection law is useless.
1t accuses ex-state fair commissions
of extravaganza in horse racing ex-
penses and former secretaries are
charged with incompetency.

that they are considering the abal

Der of the committee in discussing
the question, small cash prizes
have no real significance. A dollar
or two is no inducement for any
farmer to put forth special effort to
prepare and install an exhibit, espe-
cially when he has to bring his ex-
hibit several hundred or even
thousand miles, as will be the case
in many instances at this exposi-
ton. What he comes here for is to
win premium and we do not want
to give the exhibitors the impress
sion that we are running an inter-
national exposition on a one dollar
basis.
"The intrinsic value of the prem
iums is a secondary consideration,
whether they are first in the sweep
stakes classes or third in the most
insignificant lots Of the general
classes. We believe that If we offer
medals and diplomas we will get
better exhibits and more of them.
A medal represents something. No
matter whether it is first, second
or third premium, it is trophy of

an international competition and

and hung among his heirlooms and

Several members of the board ex-
pressed themselves in favor of the
medal idea and said it would prob
ably be adopted.

WALTER HENRY IS DEAD BUT THE LESSON STRIKES DEEP

Walter Henry, aged 26, died on a
train near Roseburg, Ore, last
week of tuberculosis. He was COM
ing home to die, to meet the Arch
Fear, braced by the prayers OF
those who bore him, but the spark
went out, and he died as the train
sped homeward, his brother Lang
don by his side.
This was the fate of Walter
Henry, son of H. c. Henry, cap
italist, and man of large affairs.
tuberculosis claimed him, and all
the care and all the wealth that
loving parents lavished on him
could not wrest him from the grip
of the White Death; slowly but
inexorably it pressed down upon
him, while hope alternated with
despair, until the weakened body
with it's final gasp gave up the re-
luctant spirit.
AS Walter Henry died, hundreds,
thousands and hundreds of thou
sands have died, just as the vista
of life opened bright and warm
before them. They had to leave
the sunshine and the laughter for
the cold terror of the grave when
the pulse of life should have been
strongest within them; they drop
ped out of the ranks; the living
closed up the gap and marched on
to whatever destiny awaits human
kind. The cOnsumptive was weak

MOTHERS QUICK WIT
TEACHES A LESSON

A quick-witted woman recently
taught few onlookers a lesson that
will be of practical value some day in
the lives of each. The very common
occurrence Of a ring too small for the
finger, with the resultant discomfort.
was the cause of the practical demon
stration.
The child had put over his chubby
finger a ring, and the flesh on either
side began 10 swell. Crying with fright
and pain, he ran to his mother. who
with the calinest manner in the world
began 20 make preparations for re-
moving the ring.
She threatened a hat-eyed needle
with linen which was strong but not
coarse. soaped it. and passed the head
Of the needle under the ring. She pull
ed it few inches toward the hand
and wrapped the other end of the
thread tightly and regularly around
the finger toward the nail. She then
took hold of the needle and began
to unwind the coil, carrying the ring
along with the thread until it slipped
easily from the end of the finger.
