Should Okanogan county be divided
Is the question now being agitated. In
certain sections of the county there
IS strong sentiment in favor of division.
while in other sections it is equally as
strong against it. People in the Meth.
ow valley are anxious that Methow
county be created. This feeling is es.
peclally strong in Twisp, which would
become the county seat should the leg
grant the request. In the
north half, especially at Orovillc, ar.
sument is made for an east and west di.
vision, which would create Cosgrove
county and give Oroville the county
seat.

TRANSPLANT TREES.
Palms Weighing Two Tons Being Set
for Exposition.

San Francisco, August 26.-Palm
trees weighing $500 pounds are be-
ing planted in Lobos Square in prep
aration for the Panama-Pacific In
ternational Exposition, by squad of
men under the supervision of John
McLaren, landscape engineer of the
exposition.
Lobos Square is part of the Har-
Dor View exposition site. The trees
are being planted for experimental
purposes. Mr.. McLaren is sanguine
that the trees which have come from
the interior will take root and flour
ish, and If at the end OF twelve
months they show signs of life, they
will be transplanted along the Es-
planade or some other picturesque
section of the grounds.
Some of the trees received are 20
feet in height and their branches are
80 feet in length.
More palms are needed and own
ers of such trees who are desirous of
donating them should notify the eX-
position authorities Mr.. McLaren
states that he will send men to dig
up the trees and transport them to
the site. At the close of the world s
fair in 1915, these trees will be re-
moved to Golden Gate and other
parks in the city.

MANY ARE DROWNED.
Seattle Authorities Take Steps to.
Prevent Deaths i'm Lake.

Seattle.-Almost every Sunday
sees one or more persons drowned in
Lake Washington. The victims are
always careless cancers, who do not
know how to swim or handle this
treacherous type of craft To date,
the police regulations have never
paid much attention to the danger
GUS form of recreation. But so
many lives were lost during the past
month that at last the Seattle city
council has been stung to action.
Now it is proposed to establish a
motoboat patrol and to require pub
lie lighthouses to equip themselves
with life-saving paraphernalia. 1t
has also been suggested that persons
rescued from drowning who are
found to have gone out without
knowing how to swim, shall be hello
for misdemeanor. Such regulation
would be rather arbitrary, but might
protect a lot of otherwise thought
less persons.

$4,000 APPROPRIATED
House Passes Civil Sundry Bill Car
rying Provision for Improvement
of Crater Lake.
Special to the Tidings.

Special to the Tidings.
Washington, d. c., August "a
Sundry civil bill has just finally
passed the house, carrying $50, 900
for the Improvement of Crater Lake
National Park. w. c. HAWLEY.
The above dispatch explains itself
Congressman Hawley, in conjunction
with others, has been working for
the appropriation for Crater Lake for
several months. The original amount
demanded was 100000. Very little
opposition was encountered in the
senate, but a strenuous fight came
up in the house. Here Col. viii G.
Steele, who was in Washington in
the interest of the appropriation, ap-
peared repeatedly and accomplished
great deal for the bill.
Mr.. Hawley arranged for hearings
before the committee on appropria-
tions, at which Col. Steele and the
congressman appeared and made a
plea for Crater Lake. The republi
can members of the committee al
most without exception were favor
! able to the improvement, but the
economy program deferred the MEM
| bers of the majority party on the
committee and the bill was reported
without provision for Crater Lake.
Col. Steele, returning to Oregon, sent
Mr.. Hawley copies, of the picture of
Crater Lake by Kiser, which were
framed and placed in the committee
room and given to the sub-commit-
tee having the measure in charge.
Mr.. Hawley also received a painting
of the lake by Miss Russell of Ash
land, and with this addressed the
house of representatives, making an
other plea for Crater Lake. The
economy policy still prevailed but
undaunted, after the item was in
serted in the senate, Mr.. Hawley
continued working, with the result
that the house conferees agreed to
the project and appropriation OF
$4,000.
} The ultimate passage of the bill
after so long a fight assures south
ern Oregon of start in the improve
ment of Oregons greatest wonder.

OBJECT TO HOWARD.
Washington Citizens Protest Against
Successor to HanfOrd.

Washington, d. ca stubborn
fight to prevent the confirmation by
the senate of the nomination of
Clinton w. Howard of Bellingham to
succeed Cornelius H. Hanford, as
federal judge for the western dis
trict of Washington, will be made by
progressive members of the upper
house of congress.
"The people of Washington, said
Senator Miles Poindexter, object to
Howard's appointment, and that is
the reason | am opposed to him. He
is affiliated with and controlled by
the same interest that corrupted
Hanford. He was a lobbyist for the
interests before the state legisla-
ture"
Howard is counsel for the Great
Northern Railway Company, the
Stone Webster Traction Company,
the Bellingham Bay Improvement
Company and other corporations. In
his work for the corporations How
ard has not only been legal counsel
in the courts, but also has been their
chief lobbyist before the legislature
and the city council of Bellingham.
William J. Biggar of Bellingham,
candidate for congress on the pro-
gressive party ticket, has wired to
Senator Poindexter to the effect that
Howard's appointment is an "out'
rageous insult" to the people, and
that it ought not to be confirmed by
the senate under any circumstances
Seattle progressives are equally
aroused. Plans are now being dis
cussed to arrange for a monster pro-
! test meeting against the confirma
tion of Howards appointment by the
senate.

THE PROBLEM OF HELP

For a number of months Rev. ID.
NJ. Cleland. who is at the head OF a
citizens movement in Wilmington
and elsewhere. in behalf of nom
English speaking people has been
working on a plan Of getting a con-
nection made between the capable
young farmers who have had ex-
perience in farming in the old
world, Of whom there are number
in the schools now in session in No.
10 School, Elm and Adams streets,
Wilmington, and the farming com
munites where help is very much
needed, especially through the sum-
mer months.
a few weeks since eight young
men Of the school expressed a de-
sire for farm employment during
the coming summer.
Shortly after Mr.. Cleland took
the matter in person to a large and
thrifty farming community in
Delaware county, New York, and
told the farmers of the opportunity
/ to secure most efficient farm help.
! The result was that the farmers are
equally anxious to secure help as
the young men are to go out to the
farms and since then more corre-
spondcnce has passed concerning
the plan.
Wages will be even better on the
farms than in the city, especially
during the coming summer. Not
only do the young men receive a
regular wage, but get their board
besides. At the present high cost
Of living in the city this will be a
considerable item.
Good positions for at least 1C
men can be secured Immediately al
satisfactory wages and it is be,
lieved that there are many already
in the school who will be willing tc
90.
Arrangements have been made
, by which the study Of English can
be continued during the summer
and families where the Young for
, eigner is employed will be furnish
ed books and be given instruction
, also in best methods of teaching
English at odd moments in the
: farm work.
Should this plan prove success
full it may be the beginning Of {
> "back to the farm movement
+ that may be far reaching in re
suits.
