INDUSTRIAL DEVELOPMENT AND
PROGRESS OF OUR HOME STATE
HISTORIC TREES USED.
Vancouver Woodman to Have Ritual
istic Stump Of Famous Woods. ].

Vancouver Woodman to Have Ritual
istic Stump Of Famous Woods.
Vancouver Constructed from wood
Of three historic trees, the famous old
witness tree, the first walnut tree
planted In the Northwest, and the
Hudson Bay apple tree, stump for
use in the ritualistic work Of the local
camp Of Woodmen Of the World. Is
being put together by Chatfeld
knight, Vancouver Camp No. 81.
The walnut tree, which was planted
by Guy Hayden in the early sos, will
comprise the base and the wide top,
28x41 inches. The pedestal, 80 inch
es tall, will contain the last of the
witness tree, to which Lewis and
Clark moored their canoe after their
thrilling trip down the Columbia to
Fort Vancouver.
Supports at the base, polished
pieces of the first apple tree, have q
history fully as interesting. In the
early days when the Hudson Bay conn
pany first founded Fort Vancouver, q
young British officer straight from
London came here, and from the pock-
cts of his silk doublet produced q
handful of apple seeds, which some
fair English dame had laughingly
given him on his departure for the
west coast Of America. From these,
which were planted by Governor John
Mclaughlin, in what is now Vancou-
yer Barracks, the first apple tree Of
the Northwest sprang.
Branches of this tree, which still
bears fruit, will form part of the
finished stump. The history Of the
historic woods will be given on q cop
per plate on the polished top, and the
whole will be appropriately stained
and vanished in time for exhibition
during the Clark County fair this fall.

CITY WILL FIGHT |. w. w.
Los Angeles Prepares for Threatenec
~ Invasion of Harbor.

= .
Los Anpeles-An important confer
ence was held in the mayors Office re-
oarding the threatened trouble with
the Industrial Workers Of the World
at the harbor.
The San Pedro people wanted the
council to pass an ordinance forthwith
against street oratory. Sergeant
Smith said that if enough policemen
were given him he would cope with
the situation, despite the rumor that
a shipload of workers" was to land
at the harbor. The conference decid-
ed not to change the. laws. saying that
they were adequate, but that they felt
that drastic action must be taken at
once. The police department an
nounced its willingness to send any
number of men to San Pedro if they
were needed.
After a three-days' attempt on the
part of the Industrial Workers of the
World to foment disaffection among
the longshoremen of the harbor dis
trict by ordering general strike, q
summing up of the strike situation
brings out these facts:
The Los Angeles /. w. w. have
sent out a call for reinforcements 70
such I. w. w. centers as San Diego
and Bakersfield.
To keep interest alive, principally
among those who have walked out,
leading members Of the I. w. w.
emit out circular calling mass meet
ing. "Stick, brothers, and we will
win the STRIKE" was the ending of the
summons.
About 30 men returned to work un-
der the old schedule of wages, and
employers think that the other $50
strikers will soon repudiate the I. W..
w. and return to work.

RESCUED MEN LIKE BEASTS.
Explorers First Think Saviors Are
Animals Making Attack.

Animals Making Attack.
Christians Captain Ejnar Mikkel
sen, the Danish Arctic explorer and
the Engineer Inversen, who were res
cued July II, on the coast of Green
land by Norwegian fishing vessel,
after having spent more than two
years in that region, looked like wild
animals when their rescuers found
them. They had spent the previous
winter at Bass Rock island, not Sham
rock Rock, rs previously announced,
and it was there the Norwegians came
upon them in cabin they had built.
The fishermen knocked on the door
and Mikkelsen and his companion
rushed out nearly naked, with gums in
their hands under the impression that
the knocking was caused by beasts Of
prey.
Mikkelsen, had been very i'll on the
long journey to Bass Rock Island and
Inversen had dragged him hundred
miles-o sledge. Fortunately, the
men had Renough ammunition to en-
able them at all times to procure food.

I BALLOONS ON
LONG CONTEST
Bridal Party Ii Pilot Car Make
Safe Landing.


Kansas City Seven huge balloons,
manned by the premier. pilots in
America, assembled from aviation field
here late Saturday in race to defer-
mine what three Of the number shall
journey to Stuttgart, Germany. to
compete this fall with foreign sports
men in an effort to regain for America
the James Gordon Bennett trophy,
lost last year when q German balloon
won the international race.
The pilot Kansas City III (non-con-
testant) carrying Or. Mile E. Hart
man and Miss Violet Davis, Of Kansas
City, on the first leg of their honey
moon trip, preceded the seven bags
aloft to show the way for the contest
ants. The couple were married just
before the race began.
The balloon St. Louis Nv, most
feared by the other pilots, did not
arise from aviation field. Instead it
lies fiat on the ground, disabled by
score Of small holes from which the
gas that originally filled the bag
seeped out and caused A. B. Lambert,
official starter, to declare it out Of the
races
William Assman, Of st. Louis,, 2i-
lot Of the unfortunate balloon, was
heartbroken when he was declared
out. Assman had been. i'll and was
unable to reach Kansas City until
Saturday morning. but he had intend
ed to make the flight.
Lieutenant Lahm once won an in
transitional race with the st. Louis
w.
Ideal weather conditions prevailed
for the race. The weather was cool
and wind from the southeast blew
10 miles an hour, carrying the bags
swiftly from the starting ground to
the northwest.
No untoward incident marred the
start, save that the pilot ballon which
bore the bridal party began to fall
near the field and only for the siren
uous work on the part Of Frank M.
Jacobs, pilot, would have crashed to
the ground. AS it was five sacks of
ballast were dumped out before the
bag again got into the air.
The pilot balloon landed at 9 o. clock
D. m. at Smithville, Mo-, 20 miles
northwest of Kansas City. The bal.
loon was non-contestant and was not
trying for sustained flight. Accord
ing to Pilot Jacobs he reached an alti-
tude of $500 feet.

Re-trial Held Of No BenAfit.

Washington, D. C.-War depart
ment officials hold that the four West
Point cadets who were courtmartialed
and expelled from the military acad-
envy on September 5, 1911, for drink
ing intoxicating liquors will not be
benefited by the senate's joint resolu-
tion directing President Taft to re-
convene the court and try them again.

North Yakima-Promoted by Rufus

SCOTS At War.
Or. Hermann Paaschs Says German
Menace Il Myth


Vancouver, B. C. The German
menace nov occupying 90 much at
tention is only myth. Belief n its
existence has been encouraged ~
French Chauvinists or ltxa-petriots
with the hlea Of embroiling Great
Britain and Germany. I think that
war between those two countries is
inconceiveable. It is unfortunate that
an element among the British people
misunderstood the aims and aspira-
tions of my countrymen," said Dr..
Hermann Paasche, national liberal
leader and vice. president Of the Ger
man Reichstag.; DR.. Paasche and his
wife reached here by train and will
sail for the Orient on the Empress Of
India.
'sOf course the misunderstanding,
so far as England is concerned, is due
to the increase of the German navy
during recent years, q policy that is
supported by the National liberal
party as warmly as it is by the Con-
servatives.
s'The growth of our navy is a ma
tural evolution in harmony with the
expansion and development Of the Ger
man empire. Today our export trade
has attained to almost two thirds that
of Great Britain and is growing by
leaps and bounds. Our iron and steel
production is now over 16, 600, 600 tons
annually, or double that of Great Brit
ain. Under these circumstances we
feel justified in protecting our sea-
ports, lines Of communication and sea-
borne commerce.

YAKIMA HoPMEN APPRENTICESHIP
Will Meet to Consider Gradual De-
cline Of Prices.

North Yakima-A gradual decline
of 8 or 10 cents pound in the prices
offered in contracts to growers since
early last winter has alarmed hopmen
in the Yakima valley, and a meeting
to consider the situation has been
called for the farmers room in the
courthouse by Richard Strobach. one
Of the large growers.
The first contracts for hops made
last fall, after the record breaking
quotations on the 1911 harvest, were
Is to % cents for 1912 crop, 20 to %
cents for 1918 and Is to 16 cents for
1914. The most recent contracts filed
with the county auditor show only 90
cents for 1912 hops and Is and IL
cents pound for the 1918 and 1914
harvest.

stead entryman who made his initial
filing prior to June 6, 1912, and who
