Seattle, June 11.-A state resem-
bling martial law, with the city po-
lice to enforce it, exists about Fort
Lawton. The soldiers of the Twenty
fifth United States infantry are con-
fined strictly to the fort, under Or
ders from President Taft, and any
person found in the neighborhood of
the Fort Lawton district who cannot
give strict account of himself will be
sent to the city Jail for examination.
After a confession of Private Nath-
aniel Bledser was made to the police
yesterday, Mayor Hiram c. Gill in
strutced Chief of Police c. w. Wap-
penstein to secure as many men as
needed to patrol the Fort Lawton
district. Thirty men will be detail

rendered quarters for the special de-
tail of police. Chief Wappenstein
said that he would place three SER
geans in charge, giving the greatest
protection during the day, when the
women are alone.
Chief Wappenstein says that evil
dence has been forthcoming to show
that a number of the negro soldiers
have been making frequent visits to
the Claussen brewery at Interplay,
getting drunk and prowling in this
condition about the neighborhood.
He issued a summary order yester-
day to the brewing company demand
ing that no more liquor be sold or
given to these men until further or
ders. The negro soldiers have been
crossing on the ferry between Ballard
and Fort Lawton, Chief Wappenstein
says, at all hours of the night, often
in an intoxicated condition. The
owners of the boat have been told
that they cannot carry the men any
longer

FRUIT INSPECTOR
RETURNS
The Horticultural Inspector
Talks of Trip in Up
per Country.

Horticultural Inspector Darlington
returned yesterday from the Okano-
gan country, where he has been
looking over horticultural matters
for three weeks.
Orchards are young in the Methow
and Okanogan valleys, except a few
that were started long before the
commercial orcharding began. Forty
carloads, on a rough estimate, will
be shipped from the upper country
this year, although an enormous
acreage is set out to young trees.
Mr.. Darlington crossed the bound
airy line while on his trip and looked
over some of the Canadian prop
critics. He found that conditions are
exactly opposite to the conditions
here in regard to the size of tracts.
There the land is still held by large
estates, some estates amounting to
more than ten thousand acres. Opin-
ions on the Canadian side are favor
able to the advent of Americans, as
the Canadians realize that business
always becomes better when the
American colonies come.
Not a Poor Mans Country.
That the Canadian side is not a
poor mans country is shown by a
story told to Mr.. Darlington by an
Englishman with whom he had some
conversation. The Englishman went
into the Similkameen country as a
stranger and bought tract of land,
paying $1,000 down, and saying at
the time of making the payment that
he was poor man. Whereupon the
real estate agent promptly cancelled
the sale and handed the money back,
explaining that there were enough
poor men there already. 1t happened
that the Englishman had $4,000 to
invest in apple lands and was not
particularly poor. Mr.. Darlington,
on hearing the Englishman's story,
Immediately started booster
blast" and sang Wenatchee's praises,
assuring the man who could not buy
Canadian apple lands that Wenat-
chez real estate agents would be
quite willing to make a $4,000 sale.
The Englishman is debating about
this city and may be- expected to ar
rive during the next few weeks. Not
being in the real estate business the
fruit inspector came right along.

ARE COMING FROM
PEND[ETON
Crowd of Business Men and
Ranchers Coming From
City in Oregon.

Business prospects in Wenatchee
appear to be so much better than
those in any other city in the north
west at the present time that We
natchee's name is being heard in all
directions.
F. Robinson, of the Pastime Pool
hall, is just returned from a brief
business trip to Pendleton. He states
that % of his friends down there are
coming to this city within the next
two weeks. He was formerly in bust
ness there and stories that he told
his Pendleton friends about Wenat-
chez interested them sufficiently to
make them want to see this place,
where prosperity still lasts and where
a big fruit crop is coming at once to
keep the prosperity up.

RECORD BREAKING
APPLE TREE
Baldwin Apple Tree of E. A.
Farris Produces $50
Boxes in 8 Years.

Of all the apple trees in the We
natchee district it is doubtful if an
other can show the record of the
Baldwin apple tree belonging to E.
A. Farris of Orondo. In 1908 this
tree produced sixty boxes of apples,
in 1909 another sixty boxes were
picked off and this year about thirty
boxes will be produced. This makes
$50 boxes for three years. The av-
erage price has been s1.25 for this
variety of apple. One year ago Mr..
Farris offered a wager that his tree
could not be duplicated in the point
of productivity by any other in the
central part of Washington.

ROYAL FAMILY To
FLEE
Mutiny in Portuguese Royal
Army Scares Ruler, Who
Would Abdicate.

Badajos, Spain, June 11.-A
mutiny in the Portuguese army in
volving nearly every army corps is
reported today in secret dispatches
from Lisbon. A strict censorship is
in force, and the report cannot be
confirmed at this time. The fact
that censorship is established is
regarded as indicating that a grave
crisis in Portuguese affairs is at
hand.
According to the reports, scarcely
enough loyal troops are left to ade-
quately guard the place.
That King Manuel is preparing to
abdicate the throne to placate popu-
lar wrath was partially confirmed
today. 1t is reported that the royal
family is preparing to flee from the
palace and take refuge in Spain.

One wing of the factory was burned,
and only the fact that the buildings
are separated by high stone walls
prevented the blaze from reaching
the sections containing the cells, part
of which is of wooden construction.
The damage caused by the fire
amounted to over $4,000. The con-
victs behaved admirably and no at
tempts to escape were reported
One section of Jefferson City was
wrecked, many fires adding to the
horror of the disaster.
Vast Area Swept.
From Herman to Sedalia, in the
belt which was swept by the terrific
cyclone that destroyed a portion of
st. Louis in 1900, there are so or
more villages and towns along the
line of the Katy" and Iron Noun
tain railroads, all of which are be-
lieved to have suffered heavily from
the cyclone.
The lighting plant at Jefferson
City was almost destroyed and the
city will be in darkness tonight.
Rescuing parties are being sent
out from both ST. Louis and Soda
liza, these places being at either end
of the path taken by the storm. The
section of country devastated is one
of the richest grape-producing dis
tricts in the country and thousands
of dollars of damage will result from
the destruction of the vineyards
alone.

PURCHASED bA-
MANA LAND
Tom Groves, Pioneer of This
Valley, in Love With
Old Mexico.
WILL GROW BANANAS
Purchased 1000 Acres Near
Mexico City and Will
Lay Out Townsite.
WILL GROW BANANAS

F. A. Reynolds was in receipt of
letter today from Tom Groves writ
ten from Mexico City, Mexico, on the
date of May 10Th. He introduces his
letter by stating that he was going
out to bull-fight that afternoon
These are held every week and he
was going to have his first introduc-
ton to full fighting. He is in love
with Mexico. He states that the City
of Mexico itself is 5000 feet high
and the air is so light that he has
to open his mouth wide in order to
get enough air to keep him a-going
Mr.. Groves has just completed a
deal for 1000 acres of banana land
along the railroad. Eventually he
plans to make townsite of por-
ton Of it. Mr.. Groves has made a
considerable study of the rubber and
banana business which is assuming
such proportions in Mexico. He states
that there are 600 banana plants
planted to the acre. Each plant pro-
duces from 4 to punches of bana-
mas per year. These are worth to-
day 81 per bunch, consequently it
is easy to see that the banana indus
tyy is a productive one. Mr.. Groves
states that there are a great many
people going into that country and
he believes that it has a great future
in the way of land investment and
colonization schemes. Land is low
priced at the present time and ma
tives do not generally appreciate
what they have. A Chicago company
recently purchased large tract adj
joining the one secured by Mr.
Groves. Rubber land is selling at
about 500 per acre. The tract pur-
chased is about so miles from tide
water and Mr.. Groves believes that
their location will be a fine one for
city.

W0[GAST SNAPS
ARM; WINS
Gains Newspaper Verdict,
Standing Redmond Off
With One Hand.

Milwaukee, June 11.-Ad VOL
CASTS first fight since he wrested
the lightweight championship honors
from Battling Nelson was marred by
the breaking of bone in his left
arm in the seventh round of a 10
round no-decision contest with Jack
Redmond of Milwaukee last night.
In spite of this he had a shade bet
ter of the bout.
The boys weighed in at 100
pounds at 4 o'clock last evening. In
the fourth round Wolgast injured
his left forearm on one of Redmond's
elbows and in the seventh snapped
bone in the forearm about three
inches above the wrist. Up to the
time of the mishap he had a good
lead, but did little fast work. He
was cool, juding distance well, and
worked short rights to the body in
championship form, but from the
seventh to the finish he was practi-
cally helpless and if Redmond could
have landed with any steam he
might have been declared the win
ner.
The general newspaper decision
will give the fight to Wolgast be-
cause of his big lead in the earlier
rounds.
Twice before Wolgast defeated
Redmond At their first meeting
Wolgast weighed only 116 pounds.
Wolgast has improved wonderfully
since he fought in Milwaukee last.
and was far ahead of Redmond in
speed, judgment of distance and ring
generalship.

Kansas & Texas and the Iron Noun
tain railroads, making it impossible
to establish the extent of the losses.
Town Wiped Out.
Manys of the towns in the path of
the cyclone are believed to have been
almost wiped off the map, the force
of the storm moving a swath through
lowland timber lying along the south
shore of the Missouri river and
sweeping telephone and telegraph
wires into confused masses.
So great was the force of the wind
that some of the lines were swept
away and the poles and wires buried
in masses of uprooted trees and de-
molished buildings.

at the foot of Battery street.
By the time the firemen had

city in this state, outside of Milwau-
kee. These plates are screwed to-
gether and crossed with each other
at right angles, making a combina-
tion Of strength and stability that
is burglar and fire proof and impos-
sible to penetrate. Five men have
been employed in putting together
the lining Of this vault three weeks
and it viii probably require three
weeks more to complete the job.
Four Of these men are experts and
sent here to do this work. The doors
to the cash vault and safety de
posit, each weigh 13 tons, giving
the reader an idea of the immensi-
ty and weight of this construction.
When the first p inch of the lin
ing was put in place one of the work
men discovered that there had been
no provision made for an opening to
permit the entrance Of the electric
wire into the vault and his best tools
were used for this purpose and it
took one man two whole days to
penetrate and make a p inch hole
in a p inch thickness of this lin
ing. This gives you an idea CT the
tensity Of the steel and iron used
in this. construction. There is no
that burglars will ever be
able to penetrate this vault The
only method of entrance will be thru
the door and then only when the
time locks will permit.
