SOLD % ACRES At
MALAGA
Wisconsin Man Becomes the
Owner of Valuable
L,ail Tract.

Calvin A. Doyle, a recent arrival
from Wisconsin has purchased the
20-acre L. X. Lail and R. L. Hall
tract near Malaga, paying for it S13,-
600. Possession has been given al
ready and Mr.. Doyle takes the crop
this year which will amount to sever
al thousands of dollars. Eight acres
of this tract are in bearing and five
acres are in young trees. Last year
this place produced $4,000 worth OF
fruit but this year the yield will be
larger on account of the fact that
there will be a heavy peach crop
One thousand dollars worth of Wine
saps were marketed from the place
last year.
Mr.. Lail purchased this place three
wears ago from j. S. Usher, paying
for it $4,000. r. l.. Hall, who has
been on the place has moved into
Malaga. He ard Mr.. Lail are inter
ested in other land near Malaga.

EXPECTED TO DIE
BUT RECOVERED
Mrs. Sheffield Returns from
Iowa Where Her Father
Was Ill.

About two weeks ago Mrs. G. P.
Sheffield, whose husband is chief
shipping clerk at the freight depot,
was called to Iowa to the bedside of
her father who was said to be lying
at the point of death. On her arri-
val the physicians announced there
was no further hope for the patients
recovery and that it would be use
less to give him any more medicine.
A nurse was ordered to allow the
patient to eat whatever food he de-
sired and that the end would prob
ably come within three or four DAYS.
Strange to say, when the drugs were
discontinued and ordinary food al
lowed as desired, the sick man i'm
mediately began to recover, and rap
idly gained his strength. He is now
entirely out of danger and Mrs.
Sheffield is on her way homeward
with a joyful heart.

BOYS STEAL FROM
|CE-H0USE
Agent Piper is Troubled
With Boys Breaking Into
the G.. N. Ice House.

There has been quite a little ice
going to waste around the Great
Northern ice house, located in the
north portion of the Wenatchee
yards, and the company has not OBJ
jected to anybody picking up and
carrying away this waste ice.
Some boys about town, however,
got the idea of selling this ice which
they gathered and delivered to var
ious places. This gave them anoth-
er idea which may prove their I'M
doing, for of late they have taken
to breaking into the ice house at
night carrying away the ice and sell
ing it. The names of the boys who
are doing this are known and Agent
Piper is considering whether to adj
wise the police, as he will be COM
PEELED to do if the abuse is contin-
ued. He is loathe to cause young
boys to be hailed at police court but
feels that he will be compelled to
do So

STATE CONVENTION
SEPT. Il
Expected that Democratic
Party Will Select Bi-Par-
tisan Judicial Ticket.

The state democratic convention
has been called to meet in Tacoma
on September 9th and from the ex-
pressions of democratic leaders of
the state it is expected that BIZ
partisan judicial ticket will be sell
ected instead of five democratic can
didates. At this convention Chelan
county is entitled to ten delegates,
Douglas ten, Grant seven and Okla
hogan twelve. The basis of repre-
sentation will be one delegate at
large from each county and one
delegate for each one hundred votes
or a major fraction thereof cast for
Bryan in the election of 1908.
In a conference of democrats held
at Tacoma this week complete
democratic congressional program
was outlined.
There will be two candidates for
the congressional nomination in the
third district, Orris Dorman and H.
D. Merit. Maurice Lanhorne has
filed for the nomination in the Sec
ond district and G. G. Heifner will

EPHRATA
Gathering Fruit and Photos
for Great Northern
Exhibit Car.

immigration Agent Atwood of the
Great Northern railway has spent the
past few days at Ephrata making ar
rangements for a good exhibit from
that locality in the car which the
company will send throughout the
United States.
The railroad man made an address
at a recent meeting of the Ephrata
Commercial club and stated that the
surrounding district, including Moses
lake, is better than many others of
the Northwest which are receiving
greater publicity. He urged the club
to enter upon a systematic plan of
publicity and impaired the news that
the railroad company could be relied
upon to do it's full share.
In response to the suggestion of
Mr.. Atwood, the club voted to employ
George Calentine to secure fruit and
photos for the exhibit car which is
now being decorated. The immigra-
ton agent also entered into the work
and made trip to the lake where he
took some excellent views himself.
Ephrata is entering upon new era
of growth. A bank building is near
ing completion and fine residence
is in course of construction.

Bellingham, Aug. 6.-Miles POin-
dexter, insurgent congressman, who
seeks a seat in the United States SEN
ate, found a warm welcome awaiting
him when he reached the Chautau-
qua grounds at Birch Bay, where he
spoke this afternoon. He passed
through the city today enroute for
Birch Bay. He will return here this
evening and on Saturday night will
speak in the Trinity tabernacle. On
Sunday afternoon he speaks at the
White City. Judge Thomas Burke,
is scheduled to speak at the Chau-
tauqua today. He has many friends
among the citizens of the city and
county.
In spite of the action of the What
com county republican convention in
giving Endorsement to a west side
man for the local delegation to Ia
coma giving it's support to the state
pldIlOTU that CALLS lOi d WCoI oiuO
senator the fact remains that
throughout Whatcom county there is
strong Poindexter sentiment. Re-
gardless of how this condition may
please or displease those who favor
candidate other than Poindexter,
the fact remains and from appear
ances now it cannot be shaken.
A poll of the sentiment among the
5000 who are attending the Chau-
tauqua meeting at Birch Bay shows
plainly which way the wind is blow
ing. Poindexter would be first
Burke second and Wilson very much
third if vote was taken today on
the candidates for the job at Wash
| ington.

BIC OKLAHOMA
SCANDAL
GROWS
Other Prominent Men In
terested in Big Fee for
Sale of Indian Lands

Muskogee, Aug. 6.-More charges
of attempted bribery in Oklahoma
Indian land deals were made before
the congressional investigating COM
mittee today. d. c. McMurray, a
ChOctaw Indian, son of the governor
Of the Choctaw nation, and attorney
for that tribe, testified that J. F. Nc
Murray had offered him $4,000 not
to approve the land deal.
Not only United States senator
Curtis of Kansas, but also Vive Presi-
dent Sherman disapproval of the
contracts whereby attorney fees Of
$4,000, 900 were to be allowed in the
sale of the $3O,0O0,00O worth of In
dian lands in Oklahoma This as
sertion formed the substance of the
testimony given by Senator Curtis to-
investigating what are known as the
McMurray contracts. Curtis came
here to testify in answer to the
charge by Senator Gore that Curtis
and Sherman each were interested"
in the contracts, APPROVAL of which by
congress and President Taft was
sought by McMurray. Curtis told of
conference between Sherman and
himself and the president early
last April when the subject was eX-
planned to the president and when
the president was Informed as to who
McMurray was. The president asked
them what they thought about the
contract allowing a ten per cent fee
and that the reply of both of them
was that in this instance the Indians
needed no attorneys on ten per cent
basis or any other basis. They point
ed out to the president that the treaty
with the Indians would simply be to
deprive the Indians of that much pro-
fit. Representative Mcclure of Ok
| lahoma also mentioned by Gore is
scheduled to take the stand today.

BALLINGER IS HOME
Denies Report That Crane Asked Him
to Resign His Position.

Seattle, Aug. 6.-Secretary Balm
ger returned today from a visit to
Minneapolis and Chicago which re-
Gently caused so much speculation
and gossip in the Unite1 Safes. He
stated that although he went east at
the request from Beverly it was not
for the reasons assigned in news
items sent out by the press. He re-
iterated that the conference with
Senator Crane had nothing to do with
any personal matter to himself. Bal
linger said he did not see Senator
Nelson while in Minneapolis nor COM
municate with him while in the East.
In Chicago he said he met Lawler,
assistant attorney general for the in
terror department, who was on his
way to Los Angeles on government
business. He denied there was any
thing in the story that Crane came
west to intimate that Ballinger's re-
signation was desired. Ballinger said
ii he should ever resign it would be
for the purpose only of being free
to prosecute persons for libel who
had been instrumental in the publica-
ton of libeleus and degradatory at
tacks on him. Ballinger predicted
that the Taft administration would
continue to "score successes along
the lines of constructive and progress

geological. SURVEYORS
WORKING At MOSES LAKE
Reported Be Securing Data for Interior Department
May Mean Sale of the Pettigrew $4,000 Acres to
Government and Another Great Reclamation Project
Taking Elevations Every Thirty.

A party of ten surveyors under
Chief Surveyor Meldrow of the Unit
ed State geological survey is now en-
camped on Moses Lake near Mae pos
Office. 1t is announced that they will
make Q contour elevation of the or
TIE section 81 "ounding the lake
which includes townships IS, 10 and
90 In ranges 81 and %. The task
will keep the men busy until Decem-
Der.
Mr.. Meldrow states that he has
been instructed to secure elevations
every thirty feet. In surveying con-
tour lines for these quadrangles it
is customary to take the elevations
cnly every 100 feet. 1t is said that
this more detailed data on elevation
and contour is desired by the inter-
ior department and is for the pur-
pose of determining whether a gov
eminent irrigation project is feasible.
Rumors are circulating to the eff
feet that ex-senator Pettigrew has
been in negotiation for some time
with the interior department with re-
ference to a transfer of the $4,000
acres which his company owns sur
rounding Moses Lake. This land was
bought by the Pettigrew people from
Do i1,no r.
ulation has been rife as to what is
the purpose of these people, but ev-
ery movement on their part his in
dicated a we'll defined plan.
The land surrounding Moses Lake
is remarkably well adapted for fruit
growing and the abundance of water
available for irrigation promises a
wonderful future for that country.
Already many Wenatchee investors
are heavily interested in the vicinity
bur scarcely any shore land has been
available, being tied up under the
Pettigrew project. When that enter
prise assumes definite form and It's
land is placed on the market, there is
little question that the Moses Lake
country will take rank as one OF
the foremost fruit growing districts
of the Northwest. If the government
should undertake this work of devel-
opment, choosing this body of $4,000
acres as it's next reclamation pro-
ject, it may mean the first step in the
still larger task of putting water on
the entire Quincy fiat of half mil
lion acres. The cost per acre of an
irrigation system covering this vast
era would be far in excess of the
Moses Lake section, because water IN
sufficient quantity can be secured on
ly from considerable distance and at
enormous expense. But a we'll de-
fined movement to that end is now on
foot and gives promise of successful
fruition within a reasonable period.

YARDS
Extensions Being Made for
Standard Oil and Ware
house District.

A spur from the main track is be-
ing constructed eastward from the
cannery, where the Standard Oil
company is arranging for new
warehouse. Large tanks from the
east are now en- route and will soon
be installed. This move was started
some six months ago but the recent
escape from fire in the two conflag-
rations of the Worthen mill and the
Wenatchee flour mill have fastened
the work. Leroy Wright, the local
agent of the company, feels that the
present location is very dangerous
one and that they cannot get located
on the new site any too soon.
The other track is an extension
in the alley between Columbia and
Wenatchee avenues. At present it
ends on Kittitas street but will now
be extended to Orondo at the rear
of the Wenatchee hotel.

Rome, Aug. 6.-The Carlist party
in Spain and also the adherents of
the pretender who have emigrated
or been expelled from Spain, are
urging the Vatican to take definite
stand upon the suggested rising of
the Carlists during the present crisis.
Appeals have been made to the Vat
lean to declare whether in case the
Carlist organ advocates movement
to restore the traditional political
and religious institution in their
country, they would have the sup
port of the Holy See and the Roman
Catholic clergy. Thus far the Vati-
can has avoided giving an answer
recalling the policy of the late Pope
Leo and Cardinal Rompolla who sup
ported the present Spanish monar-
chy when the danger of the Carlists'
movement was greater than now.

which was to have been made Sun

at the end of stormy session. The
