LAUDS THE WEST
Meets Many Redwood People
While at Seattle and North
Yakima.
WILL SETTLE NEAR THE COAST
Land Values Are High, Rum
ming as Strong as $1,000
An Acre.

The following are extracts from a
letter received by HI. A. Baldwin
from his brother, HI. S. Baldwin.
who has recently moved west where
he will make his home.
I'VE arrived in Seattle and GER
tainly had great trip. AtSpokane
we met Walter Martin. Judge Bow
ers and Chas. Mcmillan and had a
good visit with them. Went to the
Fair with Walter and Minnie. They
had very good fair and gave US a
fine time. like Spokane very we'll.
From Spokane we went to North
Yakima and were loyalty entertained
by the Vaughns, Petersons and Nc
Millans. Went out to Vaughn's
fruit ranch and had fine time with
them. We were up and had supper
with Carl and Tassie and found
them all well and getting along
fine. They are living in very nice,
cozy bungalo.
Saw Grandpa Durant.
I'VE went down to see Ormie Nc
MILAN, about eight miles east of
North Yakima, but he was not at
home. Had good visit with Grand
pa Durant, and the next day Ormie
and Mr.. Banks, who was visiting
with him, came up to North Yakima
to see US. We sure did have a
good old-time visit.
Il must not forget young John
O'Hara. He certainly took good
care of us and showed us the sights
of North Yakima. He is the best
North Yakima boomer you ever
saw. He is in the real estate bust
ness. Just before we left for our
train Adam and George Alexander
came along and the whole bunch
went to the train.
Visit Mr.. and Mrs. Carroll.
I'VE then went up to Ellensburg
and spent the day with Mr.. and
Mrs. Carroll. We went out in the
country in the afternoon. They
have beautiful valley fifteen miles
wide and about Is miles long Hay.
potatoes and apples are the things
with them. Land is worth from
5000 to $500 per acre. Mr.. Carroll
has very nice ranch of 120 acres
and is doing very well in the real
estate business. He claims that if
he had gone west ten years ago he
could just as we'll be worth $500, 900.
Great country this west.
Both Like North Yakima.
81 do not know what to think OF
North Yakima. We both like il
better than most any place we have
seen, but the prices of land would
make you dizzy. Fruit land under
trees from one to seven years old is
valued from $500 to $4,000 per acre
The North Yakima people are doing
fine, but frost hurt them this spring
pretty badly. Ormie has ten-acre
ranch in apples, peaches and pears
four years old; are just beginning
to bear and he reports good results
from them.
Going on to Portland.
Below and east of North Yakima
is fine country, practically all hay
but is a good fruit country. 1t i
great to see the fruit trees that ar,
being set out. Land about sever
miles from North Yakima is wortl
from $4,000 to $500 per acre.
''Will not try to go into details
until | get through with my trip tt
Portland Seattle is a great city
we went down to the Wharyes ant
saw the big boats. etc. Will take il
the town proper for two or thre
days, then go on to Portland; wi
write you fully from there. Regard
to all. H.. S. BALDWIN.

ing on the cotton bill, but are ex-
pected tomorrow. The northern man.
ufacturers evince no interest. Sena-
tor Borah spoke against the judiciary

The House
The house met at noon. Miscellan-
eous business of the state department
expenditures investigation committee,

alton in the Wiley-Remsen hearing.

Cured in the history of the county. The
financial obligations will not be heavy.

before undertaking to organize and
prepare for the exposition. The meet
ing tonight will be at O'Clock and
every fair booster is urged to attend.

SOLICITOR MCABE
SEVERELY GRILLED
HOUSE COMMITTEE WOULD
LEARN WHY HE WAS OPPoS-
ED TO DR.. WILEY

Washington, Aug. THE activity
of George P. McCabe, solicitor for the
agricultural department, in trying to
uphold the famous anti-Wiley ben
zoate of soda decision by the Remsen
board and Secretary Wilson, was
probed today before the house COM
mittee on agricultural expenditures.
Mr. .McCabe went through another
gruelling cross-examination as to his
exercise of power in the department.
Mr.. McCabe admitted that before the
national convention of state food and
dairy inspectors at Denver, in 1909, he
had, on an official trip through the sew
eral states, interviewed every man
/ could GET S aud told him to come
to Denver and uphold the departments
ruling"
This campaign to secure an endorse
ment of the anti-Wiley ruling from the
national gathering, Mr.. McCabe said,
was fully justified because the manu-
facturers who did not use benzoate of
soda in their foods. were making an
campaign and were trying
to gain notoriety by opposing Secre-
tary Wilson and the Remsen board.

Looks Bad for Peter

indianapolis, Aug. Z. = Captain
James Watson, the local recruiting
officer, forwarded to the war depart
ment at Washington today the affi-
davit made by Miss Clara A. Dyer,
accusing Private George Peter of the
135th coast artillery, of being an Aus
trian spy.
The only new feature in connection
with the case was the statement
made by Corporal William H. Lahr,
of the army recruiting station here,
who says he served with one George
Peter in Troop M of the Sixth United
States cavalry in the Philippines and
Montana.
Corporal Lahr said Peter was an
Austrian, man of education and
refinement and received remittances
regularly from that country. For some
time he posed as an American army
officer, had his mail addressed as
Captain Peter and was reprimanded
by the commander for assuming to
hold a commission in the United
States army. Corporal Lahr said that
the man whom Miss Dyer accuses
might not be the soldier he knew.

VETO BILL IS UP FOR VOTE
LAST PHASE OF BITTER FIGHT
OVER THIS LEGISLATION EN-.
TERED UPON
WOULD CENSURE THE CROWN
LEADER OF OPPOSITION OFFERS
MOTION SEVERELY ARRAIcN.
ING HIS MAJESTY

London, Aug. 1.-THE last phase OF
the fight over the veto bill, designed
to restrict the powers of the House of
Lords over legislation originating in
the lower chamber, was entered on in
the House of Commons this afternoon,
when A. ]. Balfour, leader of the op-
position, moved vote of censure for
the government.
Today the chamber was filled to its
capacity. Peers and distinguished
strangers were present in large num-
bers. The diplomatic and ladies' gal
leries were filled, the occupants in
cluding American Ambassador White
law Reid and other diplomats, who
showed by their presence continued
interest in the proceedings which
promise to be historic.
Mr.. Balfour's manifesto, OF which he
gave notice on August 2, was as fol-
lows THAT the advice given his ma
jesty by his majesty's ministers,
whereby they obtained from his majes-
ty a pledge that sufficient NUMBER
of peers would be created to pass the
parliament bill in the shape In which
Il left this house is a gross violation
of that constitutional liberty, by which
among other Ill consequences, the peo-
pie would be precluded from again
pronouncing on the policy of home
rule"
The rival leaders were loudly cheer
ed as they entered the room and Mr..
Balfour received an ovation as he rose
to present his motion rebudng the
government.
Premier Asquith appeared in his
best form as he stood up to reply.
Jeeringly he thanked Mr.. Balfour for
this opportune though unexpected
motion. It was the very thing that
the government wanted. In few SEN
-ences the prime minister dispelled
the fog concerning the circumstances
under which he had obtained the guar
antees from the king, which had been
persistently obscured by the opposi-
tion.
1T was my strong hope and belief"
he said, that the Lords would accept
The bill, and only when hope was frus-
trated as it was last month, his ma
jesty was asked and consented, If it
was necessary to exercise his prero-
gative. We took the only course con-
5istent with honor and true regard
for the dignity Of the crown"
