The State Fair at Yakima

The new commission OF the Wash
ington State Fair has decided that all
gambling shall be suppressed on the
fair grounds, no liquors sold, and that
the institution shall be as largely edu-
cational as possible to make it. There
will be good racing for reasonable
purses, and high class music and at
fractions will offer clean amusement to
visitors. There will be blending OF
instruction and amusement in the right
way. The plan will be to follow in a
measure the successful state fairs Of
the older states where the amusement
features are held as secondary but es-
sential.
While the Yakima valley is great in
fruit it will have to fight for laurels at
the Washington State Fair, which is
open to the world. Wenatchee, which
has won times without number at all
fairs, has signiied an intention Of going
after the big fruit prizes, and the rival

TIE MISSOURI PROBE
ATTORNEY GENERAL BEGINS IN. vESTIGATioN OF PACKERS
 AT JEFFERSON CITY.
DAMAGING EVIDENCE ELECTED
Connection of Kansas City Concerns With National Packing Company Established-Live Stock Prices Are Controlled From Chicago.

Jefferson City. Feb. 19.--In the first days hearing to determine if th.e is combination to control meat prices on the part of packing corporations doing business in Missouri, Attorney General Major succeeded in establish. ing a relationship between the Nation al Packing company of New Jersey, a holding corporation, and the Armour, Swift and Morris interests. It was brought out in the examination of D. F. Swift. son of the founder of Swift & Co.,, that his fathers estate was the owner of $7,000,000 of the S15,000,00 capital stock of the National Packing company, and that his brothers, l.. F. and E. F. Swift, and L. A. Carton, treasurer of Swift & Co.,, all stockhold- CTS and directors in Swift & Co, are also stockholders and directors in the National Packing company.
 c. w. Armour, president of the Ar mour Packing company, said on the witness stand that J. Ogden Armour of Armour & Go. was also a director of the National Packing company  Swift also testified he understood Ed. ward Morris and Ira N. Morris of Nor ris& Co.,, were directors in the Nation. al Packing company. All of which the attorney general believes is in itself ground for a proceeding against the National Packing company under the state antitrust laws.
 In the examination of c. H. Hedge of the Armour Packing coslpany the attorney general brought out that every morning the head buyer for the Armour Packing company gets the head buyer of Armour & Co. on the wire for instructions as to the price he shall pay for cattle, It is presumed that later on the attorney general will try to show that Armour & Co in their turn get their instructions from the National Packing company.

TO RESTORE OPAL TO FAVOR
Jewellers Plan to Remove silly Super stitlon Connected with Besuti-
 ful Stone.

The tendency of late to rid the opal of the foolish superstition that has clung to it for so many years is the result of reform movement begun by the jewellers and art workers who ap- preciate its great beauty. At first the opal was not considered to be in any way connected with misfortune, but was supposed to embody all the vir- tues of the other stones, as it con tained all their colors It was also be- lieved to share with the turquoise the sympathetic power of revealing the owners state of health. If 1t turned pale the owner was i'll, and if it brigh- tened up perceptibly he was on the road to recovery.
 The opal's reputation for misfortune dates back about six or seven centur. les. when 1t was used in the crown of a reigning prince. Through some chemical process the stones began to contract and finally dwindlcd away and fell out of their setting. This bad omen. followed by th~ destruction of the principality. resulted in the con
 -~otion of the Onal

importance of the Cache.

Men whose business takes them into the wilds have to be very careful about their supplies. It is of vital ne- cessity that they should be able to ob- tain provisions when required, and that these should not be too far away. The Canadian dominion government surveyors, who were running the fourteenth base line, located cache" on the Mclean river. a tributary of tbe Athabasca The supplies were taken in during the winter when the swamps were frozen. and placed on a platform solidly built of logs, about ten feet above the ground, so as to be out of the reach of bears and other animals. The depredations of hungry animals who have destroyed caches -7hich thoir unfortunate makers thought secure have resulted in more than one terrible tragedy by starva- ton in these trackless wilds-The Widn World.

Ivory is cheaper to-day than " ever was. More ivory Is being import ed than ever. It isn't true that we are in danger of exhausting our sup ply"
 The speaker, an ivory dealer, pat ted tusk as big as girl of IA.
 This tusk," he said, Ifs from an Ivory palisade about an African kings palace. In the interior of Africa there are innumerable kings and chiefs whose palisades are of ivory. For ssnsider-- since the world began there have been tusks and these tusks for centuries have been preserved by native potentates. It will be long enough before we exhaust that supply.
 "The price of ivory? Well. I'll give you s4 a pound for the best tusk. suitable for billiard balls. That Is 40 per cent lower than the price was ten years ago-and what better proof is there than that of the abundance of the supply7"

GRAFT IN NEW YORK
STATE SENATOR coNGER TELLS HOW BRIDGE COMPANIES
 WERE HELD UP.
MANY FORGED OUT OF BUSINESS
A Highway Act Passed by Leeisla. ture in 1905 Caused the Trouble Heavy Tribute Was Exacted for Several Years.

Albany, N. r., Feb. 19.-S. Fred Nixon's was the third name that Sen ator Ben Conger says Hirman c. Moe wrote on one of the envelopes in which they carried s6,O00 to the state capitol nine years ago to buy protec ton for the bridge companies. The name of the former speaker of the assembly announced by Conger on the stand completes the trio. Speaker Nixon's envelope, according to Conger like Senator Jotnam P. Aids held $1,000. The remainder of the fund $4,000, was in the envelope given to Nixon's lieutenant, Assemblyman Jean Larue Burnett.
 According to Conger, from 1901 to 1905 systematic campaign was con ducted at Albany against the treasury of the bridge companies. For three years the companies paid tribute. In 1905 notice came from Albany that il would be to their interests to forward to the capital $1O,OOO. Then the men who controlled the bridge companies met in Syracuse and decided not tc pay. As Conger expressed tive decided weswould not be blackmailed any longer"
 During the four preceding years measures hostile to the bridge inter. ests had been introduced regularly but they always failed to pass. But 1905 the legislature passed a highway act, which placed on the statute books provision against which the bridge combination had long ,contended. As a result of this law 60 per cent of the bridge companies were forced out of business in New York state.
 Aids accusor was on the stand all day and this was his story He told It under cross-examination, and Aids attorneys seemed quite ready to let him tell it. Their purpose, apparently, was to brand Conger as giver of bribes, as representative of the bridge interests in the legislature, and to show that he was actuated in bring. ing against Aids the charges the sen. ate is now Investigating for a desire for revenge for Aids hostility to the business interests where Conger had invested money Conger followed their lead with a readiness that can be explained by desire to convince his colleagues that he would not have handled bribe money unless he and his business associates had been "held up' by legislators, and that the bridge interests in the past had to choose be- tween blackmail and ruin.
