WANT A MINT ESTAB-
LISHED ON THE COAST
Shortage of Small Coins and Lack of
Transportation Appropriation
Starts Agitation

That the Pacific Northwest is en-
titled to government mint is the
contention of Seattle's business men.
The banks of this part of the country
need more small coins for business,
but the money can't be shipped be-
cause the transportation appropria-
ton for this year has been exhausted.
As Alaska and the Northwest pro.
duces the precious metals decided
for coinage, it is urged that as
matter Of economy the money for
ocal use might be minted right
here. There has been some talk of
removing the assay Office from
Seattle; but that talk stirred up the
people and now they are working
for mint in conjunction with the
assay department. The Washington
delegation in Congress is hot on the
trail, according to the latest reports.

MODERN PORHA WANTED.
BY SPOKANE JUDGES
Superior Court in Quandary as to Dis.
position of Women Jurors
Clubs are Ready

What to do with women who
will be called to serve as jurors with
men when the Spokane county su-
perior court convenes next Septem-
Der, is one of the vexing problems
confronting the five members of
the bench, headed by Judge Henry
L. KEENAN,. The various clubs in,
Spokane have given out statements
that their members are ready and
willing to do jury duty. The
judges hope a modern Solomon or
Portia will come forward to un1avel
the tangles presented by these pos
sible situations:
If II women are selected to try a
case and six disagree from the
other six.
If four women decide they are
right in civil action and six men
jurors hold opposite views.
If a mixed jury of men and
women is kept together in a felony
case until all are agreed upon
verdict.
If six women and six men
are locked in a room to determine
the guilt or innocence OF a person
charged with a capital crime?
Relating to service Of jurors in
the superior court the law adopted
by the legislature of 1911. says:
ANY woman desiring to be ex-
cused from jury service may claim
exemption by signing a written or
printed notice thereof and return
ing same to the sheriff before the
date of appearance, and if exemp-
ton is claimed by reason of sex, no
fee shall be allowed for her appear
ance."
The law provides that the jury
sworn to try the issues in felony
cases shall be kept together and in
custody of the officers Of the court
except during the actual progress of
the trial, thus putting it squarely
I'D to the judges to solve the prob
lem allowing the question to solve
itself. if the women who desire to
serve as jurors can not settle 1T
themselves.

PEACHES TO Open
At sixty CENTS
Prediction of Manager GARRISON. who
says Price will drop to
Fifty Cents

Beginning at about 60 cents a
box and dropping later on in the
season to the vicinity of so cents,
is the prediction Of Manager Lloyd
Garrison of the Pacific Fruit & Pro-
duce Co.. as to the price of peaches
in the Yakima valley this year.
When asked for an estimate OF
the crop of fruit in the valley this
season. Mr.. Garretson said that it
was too early to make any more
than guess, but his company ex-
pected to handle about 80 per cent
Of the amount handled last year.
But there will be enough to go
around" he asserted, and those
who hold out for extraordinary
profits will make the same mistake
they made last season in the matter
Of peaches. We handled $4,000
boxes last year and the average
price paid was from 80 to 40 cents
box. Those who dealt with us
made money and there need not
have been so much waste of peaches
il the growers had asked fair price
at the start, so that their fruit
would have reached the market at
reasonable price in time to meet
the low prices of other districts.
There was talk of 5O-cent and CO.
cent peaches last year, when con-
dltlons did not warrant it, with the
result that growers held off until
Inc last minute and finally many of
Them were compelled to sell their
crops at an actual loss."
When asked for an opinion as to
Inc market price of peaches Secre-
ary Romans of the Yakima Valley
frult Growers Association said it
was much too early to even hazard
guess. He thought it better to
wait until something more definite
IS Known as to crop conditions thru
out the country.

Arrival of Eastern Pest is Reported to

Opening an innocent looking
package which he knew contained
certain insects which had been sent
to the state experiment station for
identification, Prof. A. L. Melander
last week saw the first potato bugs
which are known to have existed
in Washington.
News that the potato bug is now
in the state will be heard with con-
sternation by all who have seen the

insects found.

GERAN MEASURE
ALMOST REPRINT
Of RECORD BILL
Further Disclosure by STAR
Causes Comment in Official
Circles at Trenton.

Us III Il NAdAA correspondents
TRENTON. March 90.-The STARS
reproduction oday OF the fac-simile of
the sample ballots, showing the COM
p~arison of the Wilson-R Geran
bill with the election bills drafted by
George J.. Record and introduced in
previous legislatures, is causing much
eminent here. Nobody eyer ques-
toned the paternity of the Geran bill,
but few were aware that it contained
so extensive a lot of Records dead
wood.
Clearly it is shown that the bill now
claimed as a Democratic party meas
ure is taken secondhand from the op-
posing political party, or. at least, a
faction OF the G. o. p. Editorial ref
erence is made in the STAR thusly:
1t may not be inaptly described as
funeral baked meats for 1t is left
over from at least two funerals in
previous legislatures"
Comparison to Figure Prominently.
The STARS comparisons will no
doubt play an important part at the
hearing on the Geran bill before the
Senate election committee next Tues
day. Concerning the hearing the Tren-
ton State Gazette today says:
"a fairer way to get an expression of
sentiment would be to amend the bill
by attaching to II a referendum clause
and give the voters throughout the
State a chance to cast their ballots for
or against II.
"rhe hearing next Tuesday will not
be truly representative of the interests
of that class of citizens who will be
most seriously affected IL the election
reform measure becomes Iaw."
Record Known as Author.
Ever since the Geran bill hrst made
appearance, February 6, 1t was pretty
generally known that Record was the
author of the party-line destroyer.
Two-thirds of the forty-four pages
Of the oft-printed bill as it passed the
House of Assembly under the whip of
Governor Wilson and his piecemeal
stribution Of patronage, where per-
Euasion rather thar threats was found
necessary, are a mere reprint of "a
series of bills prepared by Record and
introduced al his request in Senate
and Assembly during the legislative
sessions of 1907. 1908 and 1909.
So confident of success was Mr..
Record n satisfied in his belief that
his unsuccessful campaign of the
years mentioned had been forgotten he
did not bother altering a line of the
phraseology of the old bills.
A fair sample is found in the de-

4 BULL DOG SAVES
 LIFE OF A COLLIE
Here Is an Arizona Instance of Animal
 Surgery.

Volumes have been written regarding the intelligence of dogs since dogs and writing were invented, says the Globe Silver Belt, and countless stories have been written and told about the instinct akin to reason which puts the faithful Ffdo upon a plane with his master in the matter of intellectually, but noth- ing ever written or told along those lines is more convincing than letter received yesterday by Murray Perry, the ice man." from his friend George E. Gamble of Sheldon, Ariz.
 Gamble was given a thoroughbred Collie by Perry some time ago and the latter when he writes inquiries after Bruce" as the collie is called. Gamble in his reply to Perry's latest query which was received yesterday apolo- gized for not writing sooner but said he had delayed in order to be able to write of the outcome of the bite of rattlesnake which Bruce" had suffered several days before. Gamble and George Perry, Murray's son, were ir- rigating alfalfa and the dogs were playing about the field. Suddenly Bruce" the collie dodged ahead of MT. Gamble and stopped suddenly only to be bitten about half way between the tip of his nose and his eyes by big rattler that had not given the customary warning. Gamble killed the snake and started for the house with the dog for treatment. Before reaching home, however. he dogs head was swollen to twice its normal size and applications of coal oil. peroxide of hydrogen and other remedies did no good The dog was given up to die but at this Juncture .EI Capitan," a big bull dog. took Bruce" in charge and began licking the wound He stuck right to the task only leaving to eat or drink and in less than twenty-four hours the swelling went down and Bruce" was out of danger.
 Mir. Gamble writes that "El Capitan' would every once in a while moisten sBruce's" parched mouth and swollen tongue with his own moist tongue and then return to his task of drawing the poison from the wounded nose.
 As a bit of animal surgery that one often reads about but seldom sees at first hand the case probably stands unparalleled.

SYNDICATE PURCHASES
 COPPER BASIN MINE
Deposit Regarded as Peculiar by Min

An important mining deal was closed last Wednesday when negotiations were concluded between Edward Block and an eastern syndicate for taking over the Sink and Rise" group of Icines in the Copper Basin district. camp will be established in a short time, and de- velopment on large scale started.
 Announcement of the deal was made yesterday by Mir Block, owncr of the mines The sale follows after several examinations made by different en- gineers, all of whom reported favOrably. A reduction plant is to be placed on the ground, sufficient ore being available from past development The Sink to Rise is one of the mineralogical conun- drums that has baffled local engineers since its discovery, a few years ago.
 It is a kaolin deposit. in q Assure vein. ranging from three to ten feet in thickness, and carries gold values of from S4 to S16 a ton. and 24 per cent aluminium. It is soft in texture and when placed in water readily dis solves. only one other similar deposit in the country is known, located in Nc vada This peculiar ore was discovered on the surface and continues to the bottom of the main working shaft. 100 feet. without a break. At other points on the surface where is seen over 400 feet of prospecting. the same condition has been established and the same values returned.
 MT. Block is expecting his investors in a short time, to begin operations. and with others engaged in the mining .business. very much interest attends the exploration of this peculiar proper
