A number of people In Scotland
make a livelihood by searching for the
precious stones which are occasionally
to be found ensconced in the interior
of fresh water mussels. To lesser
extent It Is also carried out on some
English and Welsh streams. but none
of these Is so prolific In pearl bearing
as the northern rivers. There are au-
thentic records of Scottish pearls be-
ing found which rivaled any the
orient has produced so far as translu-
cency and tiawlessness are concerned
A writer of the eighteenth century
states that e2O.0OO was moderate es-
innate of the value of pearls then fish
ed annually from Scottish rivers.
while 1t is a matter of history that
German who formed a syndicate Of
fishers in 1868 acquired stones to the
value Of f12.000 In that year alone.
But the industry Is not so remunera'
tive nowadays.-London Standard.

From one tree in Cy frances orchard
in Wenatchee were picked last week
81 boxes of apples. They brought
$3.50 per box.
Judge ]. B. Palmer and wife OF We
natchee celebrated their filty-second
wedding anniversary in Wenatchee last
Sunday.
The steamer, Okanogan, which runs
between Wenatchee and Brewster made
record time last Manday, making the
trip in 9 hours and % minutes.
Conrad Rose, OF the Wenatchee Pro-
duce company, made contract with
o. G. France the first Of the week to
take his entire crop of apples at $1.50
a box. 1t is estimated that he will
have about $4,000 boxes. Besides the
apples Mr.. France will have over 49,
900 boxes of peaches and about 5000
boxes OF pears.
The cost of running the city OF We
nacthee for the coming year will be
$4,000. This will necessitate a r.
mill levy on value of approximately
$3,3O0,000. The levy last year was
II mills and brought in $34, 1000. The
valuation last year was only s3,000,O0O.
In order to provide a maintenance fund
for the Carnegie library, a half-mill tax

$500.
A cloudburst did considerable dam
age last Thursday above Bridgeport in
Foster Creek canyon, washing out sew
eral wheat fields and making gorges OF
county roads. The volume of water
that fell may be judged to be enormous
because it changed the color of the
Columbia river to dark red so that the
big stream was muddy for twenty-four
hours. The soil where the cloudburst
washed out the earth is of a reddish
clay. Captain Stofel states that in all
his years OF service in navigating the
Columbia he has never seen the river
so completely changed in color in such
a short time as it was by this cloud
burst.

The friends OF Stephen L. Chadwick,
supreme court judge, have started a
boom for him for governor. One of the
chief obstacles in the way Of making
the race is the constitutional provision
that the occupant of one state office
shall not be the contender for another.
So if the Judge should decide to make
the race for governor, he will have to
resign his present position.
By the new apportionment for repre-
sentatives in congress, the state OF
Washington will have two more repre-
sentatives in the lower house. This
means five representatives altogether.
The bill does not take effect until
March 1918, and increases the MEM
bership of the house of representatives
from 3o1 to 433.

For years, Mr. Mckenzie was a DOM

islature, United States senators and
judges OF the supreme court all recog-
nized his power. Many Of them owed
their election to his efforts.

JUMPED ON FORK;
DEATH RESULTED

Devils Lake, N. D.. July 2s.--An ac-
cident which resulted fatally occurred
at Edmore when Patrick Mcdonald was
severely injured when he jumped on a
pitchforR which entered his body, ex-
tending through the perineum.
Mr.. Mcdonald was descending from
a load of hay when he put out the fork
to balance himself. 1t slipped from his
hand and he jumped and fell directly
upon the fork, infiicting the severe
wound.
What made the accident worse is the
fact that Mcdonald weighed 224
pounds, thus the fork entered his body
a considerable distance.
The injured man was taken at once
to Devils Lake and arrived here short
ly before o'clock yesterday, when
he was operated on at the general hos
pital.
He passed away shortly after o.
clock last night. Little is known
about the man, who was a farm hand.
He has relations at Pittsburg who have
been notified of his death and his body
