A policeman stepped into the Office
Of Messrs Weller and Stone, importers,
and asked to see a member Of the firm.
Having been shown into Mr.. Weller's
private room. he said:

The clerk led Mr. Murphy to the
vault. and while the cop was examin-
ing the approaches looking up at the
ceiling to see bow burglar could come
down, and down al the floor to see
how a burglar could come up, he bus
led himself shutting up, for it was
after 5 o'clock in the evening, and the
employees were going home.
When Mr.. Jenkins was ready to go
away himself he looked about for the
policeman. Murphy was nowhere to
be seen. but the clerk noticed that the
vault door. which he thought was shut,
was standing aiar He pushed It In
until 1t clicked and then continued his
search for Murphy Not finding him,
jenkins concluded that he had gone
down In the cellar to investigate
whether the vault could be approached
from that direction. 1t was rather
dark. and Jenkins called. No answer.
Returning, he looked over the Office In
all its departments. but as there were
no signs Of Murphy he concluded that
he had finished his examination and
gone away.
About u o'clock Mr.. Weller met sew
eral of the employees at the Office and
after telling them that he expected the
vault to be entered placed them In po-
sitions where they could watch with

REVIVED 1.-THE BASEBALL
SEASON FOR SUNDAY

The baseball season of 1910, careful
ly laid away last week, was pulled
from it's coffin Wednesday by Captain
Williams and Jimmy McQuaid, who
challenged Romney's Rooters for a
game on the Hamilton grounds Sun
day. The challenge was accepted
and the contest will be staged Sunday
afternoon at o'clock
The first team has only five regular
men, and will thus be obliged to fill
in with recruits. The Rooters will
present almost their regulation front
and feel confident of making a much
better showing against the disorgan-
ized champions than Missoula or Cor
Wallis made. The game will be for a
so and 40 per cent cut of the gate.

SCIENTISTS HEAR FRANK
H. LEONARD
LECTURER FOR GROWING CULT
ADDRESSES LARGE AUDIENCE
IN OPERA HOUSE.

Faith as an active, living principle,
and not an outgrown preachment of
1000 years ago, was the central thought
Of an address delivered in the opera
house last night by Frank H. Leonard
of Brooklyn, N. Y, to the members and
friends of the Christian Science So
city of Hamilton. The audience that
greeted the lecturer was large and en-
thusiastic. The speaker was intro
duced by Senator Miles Romney.
Mr.. Leonard who is fluent and en-
tertaining speaker, dealt only with an
explanation of the fundamental prin-
ciples Of the new creed and demon
stration of the efficacy of Christian
Science as healing power. as exem-
plified in numerous instances. He
pointed out that Christ, upon earth,
was an exemplar of the principles of
Christian Science, healing by faith
and teaching the gospel of salvation
by belief. These principles, the speak
er asserted, were not for use then and
tor contempt now, but are as vital to-
day as when first enunciated
Mrs. Eddy is not modern Savior,
according to believers in the creed, but
a teacher of the principles of religious
antiquity. She merely vitalized the
belief of 20 centuries ago.
Accompanying the speaker were
Mrs. A. J. Elliott, Mrs. d. r. Beck, Mrs.
E. w. Schilling, Mrs. U. R. Schwartz,
Mrs. Showalter, Mrs R. G. Rathbun
and Mrs. John Evans, Sr., all of Mis-
soula. The ladies came to Hamilton
to hear the address and to meet the
workers in the cult in Hamilton.

water for irrigation purposes. On Will
| low creek, where the scarcity of water
was especially noticeable, wheat
threshed Al bushels to the acre, oats
u bushels and hay went two tons per
acre. On the western bench grain and
pasture were neglected and the small
supply OF water was used to irrigate
the orchards. AS result the fruit
hangs on the trees as heavy as ever
before. Several carloads of fall an
pies have already been shipped from
the orchards near Woodside, and hun
dreds of boxes of pears yet await
picking. The winter apples are being
picked and packed this month. This
year the apples were not injured by
hail, as they frequently are, but are
large and perfect.
South of town 20 acres of wheat av-
eraged 54 bushels. 80 acres of oats SO
bushels per acre West of town 20
acres OF oats averaged 107 bushels,
and 20 acres north of town yielded
f,to' DuoltlS. dIl Ol the latter 1lGI0
averaged 1870 bushels per acre
Near Summerdale is a hay field of
200 acres that has on it an especially
good second crop of clover In that
neighborhood, also, are two large to-
mato fields Cantaloupes and wa
termelons have been grown success
fully there. On one ranch west of
town 2O4 pounds of green tomatoes
were picked from a dozen plants
Two carloads of potatoes at $11O
per cwt. have been shipped from Cor
Wallis within the last two weeks. One
field, containing 92 rows, each 35 rods
long, brought $S2S.
Hundreds of acres of grain, north
of town, on some of the best land in
the valley, await threshing and there
will probably be more grain shipped
from Corvallis this year than ever
before.

CROPS GOOD IN THE VALLEY
DESPITE UNTOWARD CONDITIONS
Dry Weather Lessened Grain Yield
Somewhat and Smoke Damaged
Color of Apples

Crops throughout the Bitter Root
valley, despite dry weather ana smoke
from forest fires, are comparatively
good. The apple crop was injured in
color by the persistence of smoke, the
lack of sunlight preventing the bright
tints that are so valuable in the dis
eliminating fruit market The grain
crop is generally good, being light in
only few places from dry weather.
AS regards quantity, the apple crop
of the valley is little more than a SO
per cent yield the growers say. Prices
for the products, however, have started
we'll up in the scale. The crop seems
to be in demand and the growers are
having little difficulty in disposing of
1t.
The Valley Mercantile company in
Hamilton is buying all the apples
brought to it's warehouses. None have
been refused this year The prices
paid are good, for the growers seem
to be generally pleased The fruit is
packed by the company's own packers.
The pack has been pronounced better
than any ever bfOre sent from the val
ley.
Bitter Root Wealthy apples are the
best Wealthy apples grown in the
world, according to d. A. Rankin, who
was in the valley last week Mr..
Rankin represents the Grinnell-C Collins
Co. of Minneapolis, a large Wholesale
fruit house. In the western valleys he
has visited he says none of the
Wealthy apples class with those grown
in the Bitter Root. His company likes

to handle the Colorado pack

BRYAN PLEASED WITH MAINE.

Lincoln, Neb., Sept. 13.-Regarding
the Maine election, William J. Bryan
said today:
Il am very much pleased to learn
of the democratic victory in Maine.
The fact that We elected two out of
four congressman, as we'll as governor
and legislature, gives it a national
significance which it would not have
if it were merely victory of the state
officers. Taken with the returns from
Vermont, it indicates that the revolt
against the republican party is as pro-
nounced in the east as in the west, and
would seem to make it certain that
there will be a democratic majority in
the next congress"

|NSURCENT ELECTED IN
WASHINGTON
MILES P0iNDEXTER, RADICAL
PROGRESSIVE IS RETURNED
VICTOR OVER OPPONENT.

Seattle. Sept 13.-The insurgency
victory in the republican state pri-
maries election has exceeded all ex-
pectations Miles PoindeXter of Spo-
kane. one of the most radical of the
congressional insurgents, has been
nominated for United States senator by
a plurality which his headquarters in
this city estimates at 10000. Incom-
plete returns from King county, the
home of Judge Thomas Burke, point to
a plurality of Z 500 for PoindeXter. 1t
is likely that PoindeXter has carried
nearly every county in the state, for all
the returns thus far received indicate
an insurgent avalanche.
National Interest.
National interest in the Washington
primary was whetted by the effort
which President Taft made two weeks
ago, through Secretary Ballinger, to
concentrate the opposition of Mr..
Poindexter upon one regular candidate
The president obtained the withdrawal
of former Senator John l.. Wilson of
Seattle. according to Mr. Wilson S
own withdrawal notice, but James M
Ashton of Tacoma and Thomas Burke
of Seattle insisted on remaining in the
race and dividing the regular vote.
Humphrey Loses.
The balloting today shows that a
concentration of the regulars would
not have changed the result. Con
gressman William E. Humphrey of the
First (Seattle) district, a nationa
figure because of his championship
of the ship subsidy bill, is
defeated by Thomas P. Revella, insur-
gent republican. In the Spokane, OIL
Third, district, an insurgent succeeds
Miles PoindeXter. Adequate returns
of the Second. or Tacoma district, or
congressman have not been received
but McCredie is ahead ON the partia
returns.
Practically all the candidates for the
legislature are pledged to vote for thu
candidate receiving the highest vote
and there can be no fight over th'
election of PoindeXter.
