The ranch. [volume] (Seattle, Wash.) 1902-1914, 1913-09-01

Harry Thaw, the notorious criminal
who shot Stanford White in jealous
rage some years ago, has kept the
newspapers in lots OF copy since, and
who escaped from the insane asylum
where he was incarcerated last week,
ran afoul of the Canadian laws. He
escaped in an auto from the New York
asylum and reached Canada before he
could be captured. Canadian authori-
ties, however, look with disfavor on
the addition of men of his stripe to
their population and will send him
back to the United States. Thaw was
one of the worst examples OF American
Goldfish aristocracy and should have
been hung at the time he committed
the crime, but owing to the fact that
his family had million dollars to
spend in his liberation he was ad-
judged insane. No doubt he bribed
his way out of the asylum and thought
the escape could be made good. How
ever, Canadian laws are enforced a
little more vigorously than our own
and he finds he has made a serious
mistake. Just what will be done with
him is still question, but he will
probably be returned to the asylum
from which he escaped.

yield. The grain itself is heavier than
common and it has been saved in such
a fine condition that it will bring the
top market price. The early potato
crop is made and is bringing fine
price. A rain in the middle of July
revived the pastures, so that dairymen
will have one of the best years ever
known. Altogether the Pacific North
west will be the most prosperous part
of the United States

Judge Rudkin Of the federal court
rendered very important decision
affecting transportation lines, one day
last month. The case is one where
the city of Seattle passed an ordinance
compelling the Seattle Electric Go. to
sell six tickets for % cents. The
company claimed the council was con-
fscating it's property by compelling
service less than cost. Judge Rudk1n
upheld the company on the grounds
that the State Public Service Commits
sion was created by the legislature to
fix transportation rates and the ordin-
ance was in conflict with its duties.
The decision will be stumbling block
to the so-called home rule idea so
much fiouted recently. But it is a
sound decision, nevertheless.

With the climate and moisture almost

After one of the most disastrous
drouths experienced for years in parts
of Kansas, Missouri and Oklahoma,
the rain began falling about week
ago and some forage crops may still
be grown. Parts of these great states,
however, were nearly burned up with
heat and drouth and the corn crop is
practically failure. This Will have
tendency to keep up the price of all
cereals, and cheap feed need not be
expected this coming year.

Agricultural Commissioner Perkins
is making big fight for the State
Fair. He is attempting to get exhib-

nothing undone to make the fair

efforts to get big exhibit. In this
endeavor he should have the assist
ance of all.

is working hard to make the State
Fair at North Yakima success. In
this effort he should have the assist
ance of all. While we think the State
Fair is unfortunately located on ac-
count of few transportation lines, we

method which will bring country and
city people so close together and let
each get the others view point as
we'll conducted fair. Every county
should have fair and the best dis
plays saved for the State Fair.

BRIGHT PROSPECTS FOR THE KING
COUNTY FAIR.

At the present time everything looks
very favorable for big exhibit, espe-
cially in the livestock department.
Car loads of sheep and hogs are enter
ed from several places in Oregon
and Eastern Washington. while dairy
herds are coming from many places.
In fact there is three times as much
interest in the livestock department
as there was last year, and If one-half
of the livestock men exhibit who have
asked for entry blanks, it will be the
biggest livestock show the Northwest
has ever seen.
We hope every farmer in the North
west and especially in King county
will take one or more days and visit
the fair at The Meadows. There will
be lot of entertainment as we'll as
instruction. Farmers In the vicinity
of Seattle can drive in and there are
plenty of picnic grounds where the
teams can be safe and lunches eaten,
so the cost Will be very little. The
trustees this year have installed
water system which they lacked last
year. They have also provided for
great deal more entertainment so all
may have real holiday. There will
be course of lectures given every
day with stereopticon views.
The fair this year will also hold the
first of the "Better Baby" contests
which have been taken up by many
mothers at the state fairs. The
Woman's Club of Seattle has taken
this matter up and arrangements are
being made which will make it one of
the main attractions. Arrangements
will be made to care for 100 babies,
and many entries have already been
received. The judging will be done
by physicians of note and mothers
can learn more about the care OF
children by attending this show and
lectures than any other way possible.
The racing will be feature as more
than 100 entries have been made.
Some of the fastest horses west of the
Mississippi river will race. The track
is in fine condition and horsemen be-
lieve that some new records will be
made this year.
The Woman's Department, which
was SO successful last year promises
to be even better again. The fair
offices in Seattle are visited every day
by women who are already arranging
for exhibits. It is remarkable how
the Old Ladies' Department Is at
tracing attention.
One of the big attractions will be
the Art Department. Edward s.
Curtis, the famous Indian photog-
rapher, has given the management the
authority to pick out 30 of his finest
pictures for exhibition. This alone
will be worth going miles to see. The
Seattle Art Department has placed at
the disposal of the management of the
fair the largest and most complete
Filipino exhibit ever gathered to-
gether. 1t is worth thousands OF dol
lars. In addition to this there will
be hundreds of paintings, some OF
which are very valuable.
Arrangements have been made this
year for ladies' rest room, some
thing that was found necessary last
-: II k4 R,xxr Sch unit
The ranch. [volume] (Seattle, Wash.) 1902-1914, 1913-09-01

There is nice playground fenced in
where the youngsters can enjoy them
selves and be we'll cared for.
The management has been extreme
1y fortunate in getting the Woman's
Exchange to handle the big restau-
rant. While good sum of money
was offered for this privilege the trus-
tees turned it down and gave it to the
Woman's Exchange, knowing that it
would be clean and wholesome place
for those who wanted good meal at
a reasonable price.
There is big cafeteria fitted up on
the grounds which will furnish hot
meals in cafeteria style. In addition
to this, one or two churches will have
eating places so that all can be fed.
That the agricultural and fruit dis
plays could have more room this year
the floor of the grand stand has been
fitted up for display space and this
entire display which was crowded last
year will be given plenty of room.
The agricultural building last year
has been turned over to tie school
department. 1t is hoped that the
farmers will not only attend but select
their best products for display in an
exhibit of this kind. Not all can
win, but all can take an interest and
learn something to their advantage.
One of the best prizes which ought
to attract the average farmer is the
one given by the Great Northern Rail
way which offers beautiful silver
cup for the best and largest 81 pota-
toes exhibited. These are to be the
property of the Great Northern Rail
way and will be exhibited by them at
the Eastern fairs. The Oregon Wash
ington Railway is also offering two
beautiful cups which may be won by
the average farmer. One Of these is
for the best matured corn exhibited
at the fair and the other is for the
best selection Of forage plants. There
must be at least six varieties. The
Northern Pacific is offering beauti-
full silver pitcher for the best dairy
COW Of any breed exhibited at the fair.
These cups have all been received by
the secretary and are worth striving
for.
The King County Fair has been
put on under great many disadvan-
tages and it is hoped the people will
rally to its support and prove that
there is interest enough in the county
to make it permanent institution.
That the Oregon Washington Rail
road & Navigation Co., will be ready
with ample rolling stock to take care
OF the movement of crops in the terri
tory tributary to it's lines, is indi-
Gated in the statement of Mr.. +. w.
Robinson, Assistant Traffic Manager
of this company, that the thousand
new freight cars recently ordered by
the O. wv. r. q N. are arriving at the
various stations at the rate of fifty a
day and will be all parked at the
points where they are quickly avail
able before the harvest is finished.

view, "and an additional 1000 just

Washington Board Sc
lects Old Allen Route

Olympia-After Surveyor General
Fitzhenry had made personal inspec-
ton of rival routes for the water
front road" which is the northern
portion of the Pacific Highway, and
the only part of that road in Washing
ton on salt water, Governor Lister,
Auditor Clausen and Treasurer Meath,
comprising majority of the highway
board, recommended abandonment OF
the Ball survey, made recently under
the direction of Highway Commission
er Roberts, for the Allen survey, made
four years ago, and rejection Of all
bids received.
The report further recommends the
employment Of James Allen, who ran
the old line, to draw up plans and pro-
files in place of the present engineer
ing force of the highway department,
while the department is criticized by
inference for running new lines in
stead of checking old ones.
The highway board approved plans
for two portions of the Pacific high
way in Cowlitz county, three miles
from Carrollton north and 3.3 miles
from Kalama to Martins Bluff and d.
rected calls for bids as soon as right
Of way has been secured. This work
will cost approximately $4,000.

Indian May Lose Land
and County Lose Taxes

Aberdeen = Chehalis county faces
the possible contingency Of paying
back to Samuel Johns, fullblood
Quinault Indian, taxes on his home
stead for a period of Is years.
This contingency arises through the
filing of suit by the United States
government against Commissioners
Fishel, Wilson and Locke, Treasurer
McGillicuddy and Assessor Wiley to
regain title to Johns homestead. The
officials mentioned are subpoenaed to
appear in Federal court at Tacoma for
trial.
In 1900 Johns took up homestead,
under the homestead laws, and was
given absolute title. The United
States charges that a mistake or over
sight was made in giving Johns pat
ent and is suing to vest title again in
the hands of the government.
