HAWAIIAN ISLANDS
I WANT OUR APPLES
Man From Honolulu Locates Here
t, and Proves to Be Consistent
,. Booster

One of the best, biggest and most
consistent boosters for the Yakima
country as fruit growing region ia
Warner Sherman Winters. He and
his wife have recently come here to
reside permanently being heavily in
terested. They have recently been liv-
ing at Hanolulu, Hawaii, where Mr..
Winters was for IL years engaged in
railroading They are great friends
az Captain and Mrs. A. Alfred Rasch,
both of whom arc we'll and favorably
known here.
M. r. Galloway. OF this city, MIR.
Rasch and Mr.. Winters, are associ-
ated together in business, the devel-
opment of orchard lands being their
long suit.
Here is an interesting point: Peo-
pie of the Hawaiin islands are invest
ing their money in Yakima orchard
lands. The people of the Hawaiian
islands would like to get Yakima APP
pies, and are able and willing to pay
reasonable prices for the same, but
are handicapped by the way some of
the big concerns there operate.
Mr.. Winters says that a few big
steamship companies and commercial
interests owning the most of the
sugar plantations, have a monopoly
of the wharves at Honolulu, so that
an independent company trying to
land a load Of fruit has to take the
worst of it, in some cases not being
allowed to land the cargo under any
conditions He is confident that this
condition of affairs will not long be
permitted to exist. and that thereafter
the islands Will furaish large and
growing market fer the world famous
Yakima apple.
Mr. Winters is not one who Is
afraid of over production of apples.
He says that the entire output of the
Yakima valley would not furnish the
Chinese with one apiece, and that
there will be profit to the grower
for ali the apples that can be raised
In this particularly favored region.
The Items Of marketing and transport
tGtion will have to be settled wisely.

MRS. WILSON. IS A
DAUGHTER Of SOUTH
House in Savannah Where She
Was Married Is Still
Standing

SAVANNAH, Ca, Aug. 12-Much of
the girlhood Of Ellie Lou Arson, now
Mrs. Woodrow Wilson, was spent in
Savannah, and it was here she was
married The old house in which the
marriage took place is still standing.
and was an object of much interest to
Gov. and Mrs. Wilson on the occasion
of their visit to Savannah last spring.
Mrs. Wilson's parents, the Rev. and
Mrs. Edward Arson, lived first in
Madison and then. for a number of
years in Rome, Ga, where Mr.. Arson
had church. Until the death of her
parents Ellie Arson spent most of her
time in Rome. She had an aunt a
sister of her mother, in Gainesville, to
whom she went after the death of her
parents She was accustomed, how
ever to make long visits to her uncle,
Randolph Arson, and her grandfather,
the Rev. DR.. I. s. X. Arson, in Sa-
vannah. She elected to be married
here, in the old nome of her parents,
so that her grandfather might per-
form the ceremony.
The only near relatives of Mrs.
Wilson now living are the children Of
Randolph Arson, her fathers brother,
and of these B. Palmer Arson is the
only one living in Savannah. Ran
dolph K. Arson, another son, and the
Misses Leila and Carrie Belle Arson
live in Atlanta and Mrs. Legare Walk
er lives in Summerville, S. C.
The notice of the marriage of Miss
Arson and Woodrow Wilson appeared
in the Local Personals of the Sa-
vannah Morning News of Thursday,
June 25, 1885. 1t read:
Miss Ellie Lou Arson daughter of
the late Rev. Edward Arson of this
city and Mr. Wilson, son of the Rev.
J. r. Wilson, of Wilmington, N. c.,
were married last evening at the res
idence of the Rev. l. S. X. Arson, pas
tor of the Independent Presbyterian
church. The ceremony was perform
ed by the bridegrooms father and the
brides grandfather. The nuptials
were celebrated quietly, only the in
innate friends and relatives of the con-
tracing parties being present"
Mrs. Wilson made. a longer visit to
Savannah than her more recent one,
when she was accompanied by her
brother, Prof. Stockton Arson.
During the visit of Gov. and Mrs.
Wilson to Savannah last spring they
made a pilgrimage to the house in
which they were married. They sat
in their automobile in front Of 1t for
long time with hands clasped, mus
ing over the past.

SPEED OF WIRELESS
Waves TO Be TIMED
Signals Will Be Flashed Across
Atlantic Ocean and Speed
Will Be Recorded

WASHINGTON, d. c.. Aug. ia
Scientists in the United States and
England anXiously are awaiting the
completion of the navy's new wireless
station at Arlington, Va Astronomers
at the naval observatory in Wash
ington have been invited by scieh-
lists at the Greenwich observatory in
England to conduct trans oceanic ex-
periments to determine the time re-
quired for the electric fash to travel
the intervening distance
Wires will be strung between the
Arlington wireless station and an OPP
Grating room in the naval observa-
tory, three miles distant, from which
experiments will be conducted.
Little is known OF the possibili-
ties of the wireless or the use to which
the etereal waves may be put sai1
Professor George A. Hill of the Unit
ed States naval observatory. we
know that when the powerful fash
of electricity leaves the aerials II IL
taken up by the ether The ether re-
ceiving the electricity broadens out
in waves, similar to waves on a quiet
pond caused by the dropping of a
pebble. What is the wave of ether
and what can it be made to do? We
have determined whether the transit
of electricity through space is, as we
think, instantaneous.
Every night we expect to exchange
time signals with both the observers
at Greenwich and at Eiffel tower in
Paris. The wireless experts assure
us there will be no difficulty In estab-
fishing communication with both the
English and French stations.
THE observatory Is preparing to
send out time signals every night to
ships sailing the Atlantic. This sig
nal is now sent out from the naval
station at Cape Cod. The signal will
be flashed from the wires automatic
cally by the time clock of the observe
atory. but owing to the high poten-
tial to which the apparatus will be
tuned up, only those ships several
hundred miles from the east coast
will be able to get the signal"

c. E. LUM CANDIDATE
FOR LEGISLATURE
His Platform Has the True Ring
and Upon 1t He Will Make
the Canvass

c. e. Lum, who has announced his
candidacy for the legislature from the
twentieth legislative district on the re-
publican ticket at the primary on Sep
TENDER 10, does not hesitate a minute
to state where he stands on quite a
number Of questions which are bob
bling cp to attract the attention of
candidates and voters in the present
political crisis. .,,
In an interview yesterday Mr.. Lum
said: -
1.-THE present primary law is not
satisfactory and should be SO amend
ed that all voters can express their
preference whether they belong to any
particular political party or not. M
THE present method of assessment
is cumbersome. expensive and does
not equalize taxation.
THE fruit growers are paying heavy
levies upon enormous valuations and
ought to receive better protection from
the particular danger to their indus
try in the matter of inspection and
information from the state without a
further expense to themselves.
THE farmers are paying for crop
inspection and should have that in
spection made at point of shipment,
not at delivery end where he has no
recourse and is obliged to accept any,
thing offered.
1.-The present laws for the protection
of our laboring men are defective and
should be extended to cover the i'm
mediate relief necessary"
The foregoing are but q few of the
points upon which Mr.. Lum will
make his campaign. They have the
true ring, and he will have more to
say later.

NEW YORK, Aug. S.--The fact be-
came known today that John ID.
Rockefeller, Jr. had been instru-
mental in obtaining evidence of POI
lice graft which he has turned over
to District Attorney Whitman for use
in connection with the investiga ton
of the alleged corruption among high
police officials that has grown out OF
the murder of Gambler Rosenthal
While Rockefeller's attorney denied
the published reports that the mill
lionaires son HAD been conducting a
disorderly house for the purpose Of
obtaining evidence of blackmail
against the police, he let it become
known that Rockefeller, while fore
man Of grand jury a year ago, had
since then secured information "bear-
ing on the police situation and that
he placed it in the hands of the dis
trict attorney.
Will Aid Grand Jury
This information, it was learned to-
night, will be placed before the grand
jury in conjunction with mass Of
similar evidence which the district at
torney and assistants have uneartheo
since Bald Jack" Rose made his
first charges involving the high po-
lice officials in the gambling graft.
Furnish Funds Needed
1t was learned tonight that Rookie
Teller is prepared to furnish all funds
necessary to enable the district at
torney to conduct sweeping investi-
cation. The possibility that the seal
ed doors of the so-called system
might be opened wide was strongly
suggested tonight when it became
known that the counsel for Lieuten-
ant Becker, who is charged with in
stigating the murder of Rosenthal
had visited the district attorney to-
day and discussed the question of
leniency for his client. ts.

leys of any city shouldn't be as clean
as the streets. 1t seems to me city

provide for the paving of the alleys
as we'll as for the streets.
The alleys here are as clean as
those of any city in the state. and
much different than they were two
years ago when | was here. Your
health department has done the
cleaning thoroughly"
The garbage collecting force is be-

men are hauling unusually large
loads during this season on account
of the waste and garbage resulting
from the fruit crop.

SKAGWAY, Alaska. Aug. 12.--
The expedition headed by Prof. Her.
schel Parker, of Columbia university,
and Belmore Browne, Of Tacoma
which reached an altitude of 10000
feet on Mount Mckinley, arrived here
last night.
THE most difficult part of the
climb was in the zone between the
12,OO0-foot and the 17,000-foot alti-
tudes,' said Mr.. Browne today
above 1900 feet the work was not
difficult. Three of us, Prof. Parker,
Merl Lavoy and I. made the last
1000 feet of the climb, Arthur Aten,
the fourth member of our party, re-
naming in our camp at 1900 feet.
We got within 800 feet of the top.
and could have made the summit cas-
lily within an hour but for binding
snow storm, driven by cold wind,
that forced us to retreat The top of
the mountain is unbroken and would
not be difficult to surmount under
favorable weather conditions"
The new country mapped by the
expedition is very rough and con-
tains many glaciers 1t was often nee
essary to make three relays of the
camp outfit The party left the
mountain July 4, after having spent
twenty eight days on its slope. Prof
Parker and Mr.. Browne will sail for
Seattle Sunday.
