BANNER CROPS IN
Inland empire
Especial to the Silver State.)

SPOKANE, Wash, Sept 26.-Indi-
cative of the prospects for increased
business activity throughout the
northwest states this fall and winter is
the report by the statistical department
of the Spokane chamber of commerce,
which places the farm value of agri-
culture, including livestock, poultry,
fruit and vegetables, in Washington,
Oregon, Idaho and Montana this sea-
son at $250,000,000, or more than $9l
per capita of a total population of q
666,O0
f! The wheat yield of the four states
, is estimated at 76,500,000 bushels, as
against 65,1S0,000 in 1910, while the
hay crop is placed at 4, $780, 900 tons, as
compared with 4,050,000 tons a year
ago. Oats, barley, rye, potatoes and
hops show average increases ranging
from 10 to 20 per cent over 1910. The
apple crop is not as large as last year,
but higher prices and increases in the
yields of other fruits will, it is estimat-
ed, fully make up the difference.
The farm value of agriculture in the
Inland Empire is estimated at from
$50, 100000 to $175,000,00O, to which
is added $53,000,000 as the value of
timber and lumber cut in the district
during the year. The last named in
dustry gave employment to more than
100000 men. The lumber business has
been unusually quiet the last six
months, though there are heavy in
creases in export trade. The present
population of the Inland Empire is
estimated at 100000.
Bankers and businessmen throuhgout
the district say the outlook is bright
for business increases in the north
western states, adding there is everv
indication there will be expansion in
all lines of manufacturing and job
bing, also that there will be more than
the usual influx of eastern capital and
settlers into the country.

would stretch more than half way

DIR. WICHMANN BURNED
FIGURES ON CONVICT'S HEAD

DR.. Wichmann, who for many
months was trusty in the hospital,
has been placed at menial work as
punishment for trick which he play
ed upon one of the negro eonvicts a
month or more ago. 1t appears that
the shine was troubled with ner-
vous affection and kept going to the
hospital every few days for treatment.
Wichmann got tired of his visits and
one day painted the figures "13" up
on the forehead of the negro with ear
bolic acid. The negro did not know
what was done and believed the burn
ing was part of the treatment for his
cure. 1t was only short time until
the figures showed plainly upon the
head of the ebony convict and the
joshing of his mates has kept him in
hot water.
Wichmann was taken from the hos
pital in punishment for his act and is
now one of the "bucket briagde' of
the prison A taste of the DUNGEON
was given him to bring him to his
senses--Carson News.

and dressed for dinner, unattended.
Absorbed in anticipations of the NOR,
row, when first he should set foot in
Calcutta and take the first step in
pursuit of Sophia Farrell, he had
absent minoedly neglected to empty
the pockets of his discarded clothing.
At seven he had gone to dinner, leav-
ing his stateroom door open, as was
his habit-a not unusual one with
first-cabin passengers on long voyages
and his flannes swinging from
hooks in the wall About eight, dis
covering his oversight through the
absence of his cigarette case, he had
hurried back to the stateroom to dis
cover that he had been curiously
robbed
His watch, his keys, his small
change and his sovereign purse, his
silver cigarette case--all the articles,
in fact, that he was accustomed to
stuff into his pockets--with one ex'
ception. were where he had left them.
But the leather envelope containing
the portrait of Sophia Farrell was
missing from the breast,pocket OF his
coat
From the hour in which he had OBJ
tanned II he had never but this once
let it out Of his personal possession.
The envelope he had caused to be con-
structed for its safekeeping during
his enforced inaction in London. He
had never once looked at 1t save In
strict privacy, secure even from the
ewes of Doggott and the latter did
not know what the leather case con
tanned.
Thus his preconceived and self-con-
structed theory as to the extent OF
The Enemy's knowledge, was in an in.
slant overthrown. They had seized
the very first relaxation Of his vigil
lance to rob him Of that which he
valued most. And in his heart he
feared and believed that the incident
indicated their" intimacy not alone
with his secret but with that which he
shared with Colonel Farrell.
Since then his every move toward
reganing the photograph mad been
fruitless.
In the end. and in despair, Amber
posted a notice on the ships bulle-
tin board, offering so guineas reward
for the return OF the photograph to
him either before landing or at the

Great Eastern hotel, Calcutta, and
having thereby established his reputa-
ton as a mild lunatic, sat down to
twirl his thumbs and await the out
come, confidently anticipating there
would be none. They" had outwit
ted him and not 500 guineas would
tempt them" he believed. 1t re-
manned only to contrive triumph in
despite Of this setback.
The Foonah slipped in to her dock
under cover of darkness. Amber, dis
embarking with Doggott, climbed into
an open ghari on the landing stage
and was driven swiftly to his hotel.
AS he alighted and. leaving Doggott
to settle with the ghariwallah, crossed
the sidewalk to the hotel entrance, a
beggar SLIPPED through the throng Of
wayfarers, whining at his elbow.
Give. o give, Protector Of the
Poor!"
Prepccupied, Amber hardly heard,
and passed on; but the native stuck
leach-like to his side.
Give, hazoor-and the mercy Of
God shall be upon the heaven-born for
ten thousand years!"
Now "heaven-born" is flattery prop
erly reserved for those who sit in
high places. Amber turned and eyed
the man curiously, at the same time
dropping into the filthy, importunate
palm a few annas.
May the shadow of the heaven
born be long upon the land, when he
shall have passed through the Gate
way of Swords!"
And like a flash the man was gone
lodging nimbly round the ghari
and across Old Court House street,
losing himself almost instantly In the
press of early evening traffic.
THE devil" said Amber thought.
fully. why should it be assumed
that have any shadow of an inten-
ton of entering that damnable Gate
way of Swords?'
An incident at the desk, while he
was arranging for his room, further
