Institute Notes.

The enrolment has now reached
60. That looks good for a record
breaker before the end. The good
thing is that we are not pestered
with book agents this year and most
of those enrolled are bonifide at
tendents. There are very few miss
ing at roll call each morning. The
new ones are, Clara Carrell, S. H..
Walker, F. w. Reuhlen, Lizzie

Through The Valley

Tuesday found US headed north
with gentlemen who had never
visited that section of the country.
We had scarcely got out of town
till our eyes fell on the steam baler
of G. w. Shaw on the old Allen
ranch, and they had lot of work
before them to say nothing of the
nice square pile of baled hay. We
sped on through the valley past the
Leach and Hall alfalfa ranches and
made our first stop at the old Sour.
beer farm where we partook of fresh
water and viewed the beautiful cher
ries. Next place of interest was the
old Wick ranch where our mouth
watered for the delicious cherries
and other good things. OF course
we did not sample them2 The quail
ity was fine. We again headed south
passing the Sawyer, Norman, Mars,
Sourbeer, Eliason and Brenneman
farms and the old Cox ranch. Then
we turned in the direction of Fowler
where we arrived in a short time and
found everything moving along
nicely except the alfalfa mill which
was shut down on account of lack
of water. The we'll is undergoing a
course of repairs, and from the
wagons loaded with hay we would
wonder if there was any left in the
country. We passed out of town
to the south and visited the wheat
belt lying between Meade and
Fowler and was somewhat surprised
at the prospects. With but little
more rain there will be a lot OF
wheat in this belt. Nearing Meade
we visited big plow outfit turning
over the virgin soil in good shape
and narrowing and seeding at the
same time. We arrived at Meade
on "skedule" time. The expression
of my friend after summing up the
whole trip was 81 didn't know there
was such place in Western Kan

Ice Cream Business Sold.

F. G. Holdeman has sold his
ice cream business to S. M. Dor
land and Mr.. Dorland will take
possession this week. Mr. Hol-
derman has built up good busi-
ness but his bakery business has
increased until he has to devote
his entire time to it. There is
no doubt but what the new own
er will keep the product up to
it's usual standard, and having
more time to look after it will
reach out and capture more new
patrons. Dorland has way of
making anything that he under
takes a success and this venture
will not be different from the
rest.

SEATTLE, Nov. mo strang-
er tale was ever conceived in fic-
tion than this true story of S. c.
Rogers, who is slowly recovering
In local hospital.
For IA years, dating from the
night Ia years ago, when he was a
Bowery messenger boy in New
York, he was slugged by n hold-up
man, Rogers was not Rogers, but
George Kelly.
Rogers died that night and
Kelly was born. Rogers was re-
vived on the hospital operating
table here.
AS Kelly, a happy go lucky
Irishman, he drifted over the
country. He learned the carpen-
ter trade. He served three years
in the navy.
He married, Kelly did, just a
few months ago.
Then something snapped. Com
planning of a headache, he went
out for walk. They found him
Ignawing at roots of trees in the
woods.
They locked him in strait-jack-
cts and were going to send him to
the asylum. But his bride begged
for an operation for him.
The doctors removed a little
bone that for Ia years had press
ed down on one corner of his
brain.
Then it happened.
He was no longer Kelly, aged
81, a machinist, and married.
With the removal of that bone
he was again Rogers, a 17-year.
old messenger, talking Bowery
slang. #e.-zt -.
His bride, overjoyed at his
recovery, rushed in to kiss him.
Rogers drew back.
"Who is this woman?" he asked
His friends from the navy who
had helped pay for his operation

Hello, Kelly" they said.
Rogers thought they were josh.

"Who are they?" he asked his
nurse.
Rogers had never seen an auto

bothering us about them"
SO Daley did.
All the oculists' offices we're
closed, of course, when Daley
reached Seattle. He would have
to leave there before any of the
offices opened in the morning or
violate his shore liberty.
He Came to Tacoma.
Daley thought only of his eyes.
He took the boat to Tacoma, had
his eyes treated by Wing & Spen-
GER, specialists, and glasses fitted
at kachlein's. 1t took three days.
When he got back to Bremerton it
was to find that the Colorado had
sailed without him.
Daley didn't try to escape the
consequences. He gave himself
up, was arrested and held till Oct.
IT, when he was informed by
Lieut.. +. A. Udall, judge advocate,
that he must stand trial in the
morning as a deserter.
Daley asked If one of the ships S
Officers would defend him.
Il act for both sides," said
Udall.
But I'd rather have man
who would just look after my in
terests," said Daley.
"You are not entitled i'm the
navy to the treatment that even "a
common criminal on land has"
Daley swears i'm his affidavit that
UdaIl replied, 'for on land il a
prisoner has no attorney the court
must appoint one. In the navy
you may ask an officer to defend
you, but he does not have to do
1t. Or you can hire "a lawyer out
side"
Driven to extremities, Daley
telephoned to II. S. Hayward, a
Seattle attorney, to come over at
once. Hayward couldn't get there
until half an hour before the trial.
With this preparation Daley
went to trial. He told his story,
and showed his receipts from
oculists and optician.
He was found guilty and SEN
fenced to six months at hard
labor.
The story of Dalley's expert
ence as a naval prisoner will be
told tomorrow.

William II. Daley enlisted in
the navy at Brooklyn in July,
1908.
He was a strong man physically,
alert, sober, and with a taste for
machinery-to all appearance the
type of man the navy wants. He
had been three years in the regu-
lar army, and up to the time OF
his joining the navy, had been a
locomotive engineer. He was "a
and unmarried.
Daley went in as a machinist's S
mate, second class, assigned to the
u. S. S. Colorado. He was pro-
NOTED to first class inside of six
months. His record was good
both as to conduct and ability.
In June, 1909, a year after his
enlistment, Daley got a piece of
brass in his eye. 1t was removed,
but by the middle of July 1t began
to bother him. He consulted DR..
J. T. Kennedy, the ships surgeon,
who told him he ought to wear
glasses when reading.
Shore Leave Refused.
Ddllty lCJ lIt lldltCi lCot lOf a
month, but his eyes kept getting
worse. Then he asked for two
days shore liberty and requisi-
tion of $25 from the $40 he had
coming to him, SO that he could
get glasses fitted.
What happened then, as told in
Dalley's sworn statement as made
by him and forwarded by him to
Washington while he was still in
the service and amenable to naval
discipline, is commentary on
governmental red tape and petty
tyranny.
For ten days Daley was sent
from one officer to another. His
request was several times flatly
refused. Dr.. Kennedy refused to
recommend shore liberty.
Doctor Was Angry.
The only conclusion that lay
man can come to is that the ships
surgeon believed that Dalley's plea
to have his eyes examined by a
specialist on shore was an imputa-
tion that DR.. Kennedy was ineffi-
cient to look after them.
Anyhow, Daley was turned
down.

MYSTERIOUS
CONFERENCE
0N ALASKA

Considerable speculation is go
ing on as to the object of a sud
denly called conference on Alaska
today between representatives or
the Seattle Chamber of Commerce
and the Tacoma Commercial club.
The Seattle Commercial club, a
rather progressive organization,
asked Tacoma to send representa-
tives to a meeting tomorrow night
to take up Alaska topics. Then
the Seattle Chamber of Commerce,
which is hopelessly standpat, and
which has favored every sort OF
Morganheim grab in the North
country, suddenly spoke up.
A quick trip over here by ex-
Senators Piles and John l.. Will
son and Secretary Yandell of the
Seattle body resulted in a confer
ence here this afternoon with the
Tacoma men.
Everybody was very mum as to
the object of the meeting.
