THlBET DEEP IN BLOOD.
World Will Be Shocked II Whole
Truth Is Told.


San Francisco j. C. Ogden, a
Christian church missionary, of Los
Angeles, has arrived in San Francisco
with his wife and child, after des-
perate 1,O00-mile journey through the
wilds of China and Thibet, in which
all three narrowly escaped with their
lives.
The missionary and his wife were
compelled literally to wade through
blood in the journey from Batang,
Thibet, to, the French province of
Tong King, China. They arrived here
on the Japanese liner Nippon Maru.
''The story of the isolated provinces
in Northern China is one that will
shock the world, when it is told" said
Ogden. 81 was sent to Thibet six
years ago as missionary. The war
like Thibetans have taken up arms
and are using the revolution in China
as an excuse for plundering and pill
laying. There is far more to be
feared, as far as the missionaries are
concerned, from the Thibetans than
there is from the Manchus and
Chinese.
"The border between China and
Thibet is overrun with wild and law
less bands.

MOTOR CAR KILLS COYOTE.
Animal Loses Desperate Race-Road
Entitled to Bounty.

Richland-Pa Passengers on an east
bound O.-W. r. & n. motor car re-
Gently were treated to rare exhibi-
ton of the speed of the desert coyote.
It was race between the desert-bred
beast, so rapidly becoming extinct,
and the perfectly constructed trans
portation medium of modern railway
service. The motor car won and the
railway company is entitled to the
bounty on the coyote.
The car had just left Ledbetter sta
tion when the coyote appeared in the
track ahead. Apparently too bewil-
dered to turn aside, the gray animal
held to the course between the rails
in mad effort to escape the wheels of
the heavy car. He continued the
flight and kept out of the way for al
most mile, when the motor ground
him to bits.
That's the gamest chicken thief I
ever saw" remarked q passenger.

"You must bear in mind that this
matter of judicial recall is being agi-
tated the country over, that the men
speaking for it are many. What l
call your attention to is that it is nee
essary that good people like you
should speak the truth that is in you
in favor of courts and their indepen-
dence and the restraint of the consti-
tuition that were imposed by the
wisest ancestors any people ever had.
In reference to the simplifcation Of
legal procedure the president said he
had had a feeling that the bar and the
bench lowed to the people greater
effort toward making the administra-
tion of law effective and just by ex-
pediting justice"
ri am glad to know" he said,
THAT there is now q profound effort
to study where it is that we can short

Referring to the French code, the
president said that there, as with US,
there was tendency to assume that
litigants were made for the courts and
the exercise Of the refnements OF rea-
son rather than vice versa.
"There il much the same tendency
there as with u.s." he continued, Ito

GREENHOUSES ON WHEELS.
Movable Glass Arrangements Art
Planned at Toppenish.


Toppenish Movable greenhouses,
patterned after the methods used on
the isle Of Guernsey, are being plan
ned by A. T. Heney, formerly with
the Washington Nursery company, as
q method of assuring early fruits and
vegetables and absolute protection
against frosts at low cost. While
Heney considers the Yakima Indian
reservation is, well adapted to this
method of truck farming, he has also
considered the plan to embark in such
business at Kennewick, Pasco or Rich
land and will investigate there before
making his decision. According to
this plan the greenhouses are built on
rails, so they can be moved from one
plat to another. Protection for six or
seven plats can be thus secured with
one glass house, it being possible first
to raise tender vegetables, then straw
berries, then tomatoes and grapes I'M
der the same greenhouse.

SNOW DRIVES OUT COYOTES.
Hundreds Of Hungry Beasts lnfest
Ellensburg Districts.

Ellensburg Districts.
Ellensburg- The recent heavy snow
fall in the valley and mountains has
driven hundreds of coyotes nearer to
settled districts, according to report
brought to town by rancher in the
Menashtash creek district. The ami
mails, made bold by hunger, are COM
hitting depredations upon poultry and
livestock, and are unusually numerous.
Roy Gerberg brought 10 skins
to town to obtain the bounty of 81
each. Books in the auditors office
show that "a coyotes have been
brought in for bounty since January 1,
and that during the last three months
of 1911 the number brought in was
140. Three wildcats have been killed.
Hunters report six and eight feet Of
snow in the mountains and that game
is scarce.
