l|hG[R CODE
WORD "PLAY'' OMITTED IN GAM
BLING LAW MAY CLEAR FIVE
MEN AT Observation-Disclosures
STATE.

Olympia, Feb. 21.-For many years
Washington had no law making it
crime to play at gambling games,
that is no law against the players,
but had a law which punished the
owner of the game. Such is the con-
tention of H. J. Snively today in the
state supreme court in asking that
the conviction of five Pasco men un
der the supposed law be set aside.
Mr.. Snively went back into the
original records and produced GER
titled copy of the original law show
ing conclusively that as the act pass
ed the legislature the word play"
was not included. Ballinger's code,
which is generally referred to by at
torneys rather than examine the in
iividual section laws, included the
word "play" and it was this errone-
Gus inclusion upon which the charges
were made and the trial and convic-
ton had.
If Mr.. Snively's contention is sus-
tanned by the supreme court, as he
confidently expects, it will set aside
the convictions of A. F. Smith, c.
Griffiths, F. T. Allison, John L. Lew
is and N. B. Sylvester, who as play
ers were tried and convicted of vio-
lating the law by playing poker in
Sylvester's pool room at Pasco. 1t
is said dozen or more men have
been tried and have sustained pun
ishment under this law, no other at
torney having discovered the mis-
take.

Great Northern to Spend $7,OOO,OO

st. Paul, Mimi, Feb. 21.-Presi-
dent Louis w. Hill, of the Great
Northern, is authority for the state
ment that his road will spend ST.
900, 900 in improvements during the
coming spring and summer.
1t is understood that the expendi-
ture of this large amount was au-
thorized by Chairman ]. ]. Hill be-
fore he left st. Paul for New York.
Detailed plans have not yet been
worked out and probably will not be
until the return of General Manager
Gruber from the west, but 1t is said
that the contemplated improvements
include the enlargement of the shops
at Hillyard, Wash, and extensive
double-tracking on the west end OF
the system.
The Northern Pacific is to double
track it's main line between Logan
and Bozeman, Mont, this summer,
the improvement being made neces-
sary by increasingly heavy traffic.

Huntley Expects Bumper Fruit Crop.

Olympia, Feb. 21.-State Hortlcui-
tural Commissioner F. A. Huntley OF
Kennewick is in the city today on
official business at the state house.
Mr.. Huntley states that the fruit
prospects of the state for the coming
season are splendid.
'The trees had something of rest
last year from the light crop, and
all conditions are favorable for the
biggest crop this year the state has
ever had. The inspection service is
doing good work and the orchards
are generally clean and in good shape.
the fruit growers in the big fruit sec
tions joining in every effort to get
rid of all pests. The yield from new
orchards will be greatly increased
this coming year. Planting contin-
es in increasing extent, planting be-
ing done in both fall and spring.
Some planting is being done down
on the Columbia now, but most OF 1t
will be a little later on. If nothing
unexpected happens, Washington may
look for a bumper fruit crop this
year.

Why Fruit Growing Pays.

An illustration of the advanced
methods followed by the orchardists
of the Pacific Northwest in the grow
ing, caring for and marketing of
fruit is seen in the story which comes
from Charleston to the effect that the
fruit growers in the vicinity of that
town have placed orders for $4,000
heaters, which are to be used in the
orchards to guard against the posi-
bility of damage by late frosts the
coming spring. 1t is but another
step in the direction of eliminating
danger Of loss of or damage to the
crop, and toward making of fruit
growing a pursuit on as safe basis
as any line of manufacturing.
People in the East wonder why it
is that such wonderful success at
tends the growing of fruit in this
country; why such enormous profits
are made by Washington fruit grow
ers, whose products crowd the fruit
stands in all of the big Eastern cities
and bring the highest market price.
The average Eastern orchard was
planted a generation or two age, and
has had little further attention paid
to it since planting. Crops have been
raised off the orchard ground, and,
at best, it is used as stock pasture.
Occasionally there is some desultory
attempt at pruning; but should any
one of the numerous fruit pests at
tack the trees, that settles it. The
pests are given a free hand.
The orchardist Of the Pacific
Northwest places his land in a fine
condition of filth, plans the best
stock he can get, according to COM
mercial plan, guarding carefully
against overcrowding. He cultivates
the ground with more care than does
the average Eastern farmer raising
a plow crop; irrigates freely, If in
dry section; sprays his trees with ap-
proved solutions for the killing OF
parasites several times each season;
hand-picks his fruit, with the utmost
care against bruising it; has 1t sorted
with the greatest attention, so that
each package will contain fruit OF
identical size, appearance and quail
ity; sends it to market in the neat
est and most carefully packed boxes,
and often sells it through a general
cooperative agency, to which all or
the fruit growers Of his section be-
long. With this perfection of system
he gets results, which are constant
source of surprise to the Fasteners.
If he followed Eastern methods, his
orchard would not pay him a cent

which had ceased swayng and hung dejectedy to the
ground "And my whiskers that used to wash!
