First Lady To Wear Star

The city of Msrinette now has a
woman deputy sheriff, probably the
only city in the state to take action OF
that nature with the exception of Mil.
yankee, which employed women a.
deputies during the State Fair.
Miss Evelyn Boardwell, deputy
clerk of court, has been appointed to
that office and will wear her star with.
in a few days. She was deputized
upon the ACCESSIBILITY Of the authorities
who have in the past had no one to
search feminine suspects in case ar
rests of alleged chop lifters are made.

The Mining Journal misunderstands
u position. We did not say that
the valuation of mines is ZEN
trusted TO men not familiar with that
subject. What we did say is that
the assessment of pr operty in
this mining district meaning all
classes OF property, the house Of the
miner. the store of the business man
and the wild land and timber OF the
land owner as well as the mines. The
tax commission has been specializing
upon mining assessments TO the exclu
sion of all other classes Of property in
these exclusively mining towns as If
there Is no one in them worth noticing
excepting the fellow who owns the
mines. The man who has a house
ard lot doesn't pay as much In the
aggregate as the mine owner but he
pays more in proportion to the service
he gets back and to the earning power
Of his property than does the mine
owner, for the reason that the two
classes of property have not been
equalized one with the other. That is
why we say hat property in the
mining district is not equally and
intelligently assessed.

SHERIFF UNDER IRE
ontonagon Official Gets In Trouble Through
The Cruelty OF His Deputy

ontonagon Official Gets In Trouble Through
The Cruelty Of His Deputy
A short time ago complaint was
made TO Gov. Ferris that tine sheriff OF
Ontonagon county was guilty of gross
cruelty owards his prisoners and Attor-
ney General Fellows sent n of his
Deputies. Andrew B. Doughterty, to
Ontonagon to make an investigation
Mr.. Dougherty's report was given
the governor last Saturday and il is
found to contain much that reflects
upon the conduct of the sheriff Office
in Ontonagon county.
Paul Francis is the sheriff but he
has practically turned the Office over
to his deputy, Chas. O'Rourke a
former sheriff and a gentleman well
known throughout the peninsula.
The complaints against the sheriff
center about a prisoner named Kruse
who attempted to escape and who vas
roughly handled by O'Rourke and
his assistants. the latter having been
made aware Of the the fellows inten.
tions and being prepared to thwart
him. O'Rourke is accused Of telling
the mar TO the ground ard beating
him numerically.
Doughtery claims also hat the
prisoners are forced to do odd jobs for
the employees of the sheriff Office and
n case is cited whore the men de-
tanned in the county all were obliged
to repair a house owned by one Of the
deputies
In his letter to the governor. Attor-
ney General Fellows says - am
satisfied that Sheriff Paul Francis has
practically surrendered the functions
OF his Office to his undersherif, and
that he exercises very little, il any,
control over his Office. / am satisfied
that Undersheriff O'Ronrke has so
conducted his office as to bring dis
credit upon the administration of the
law in that county. The incidents set
up in Mr.. Doughterty's report seem

Lord N~ortncliff, the well known

suffrage at Chicago last week. Lord
Northcliff thinks that universal suff-
~ such as is asked bv the women
Of England, will never be granted be-
cause il means that the men will be
dominated by the women for the reason
that there are about ~ million more
women than men. He says that the

in England correctly sized up when he
said that there were not enough hus.

accounts cabled 10 America would

of work to which tractor can be
placed. While as before stated, the
work is primarily one to introduce the
tractor, there is scarcely chapter
which has not information most
surprising to the average farmer who
has not given this subject much atten-
ton. American farm machinery has
led the world for years, and the his
tory of growth from the straight stick
which was used centuries ago to stir
the soil, until the big tractor of today
is a wonderfully fascinating one. The
book combines also the history of the
wonderful advance in agriculture
from that day to this. The discussion
given and information furnished re-
garding the philosophy of soil stir
ring or blowing is a striking part of
the book. Thousands of men pillow
because their fathers plowed, without
the least idea of why they plowed or
why one soil deserves different treat
ment from another. This book would
assist them to get down to the genesis
of this and would therefore be made
valuable to them. The book is worthy
of place in any students library.

Ellis and Edward Rumley, of the

of 300 pages, which will interest every
sincere student of agriculture. They
have condensed the history Of the i'm
plements used for stirring the soil,
since the earliest days, in book
almost as interesting as novel.
The chapter on the pillow in America
is one of the most interesting of the
book. They show that in 1851, for
instance, there we're but 81 plows in
the colony of Massachusetts and the
owners we're granted bounty for
keeping them in good condition TO
be used by the entire town. These
we're rude affairs made from wind

the base and side shod of thin plate
of iron; the share was made of wood
with hardened steel point; the beam
was straight and the coulter about all

HAY AND GRAIN FARMERS MEET.

Yesterday assembled at the Arlington
hotel to complete plans for the organ
ization and incorporation of glgan-
tic cooperative stock company OF
Washington farmers.
Nearly 500 hay and grain raisers
are already committed to the plan.
The scope and detail of organization
will, it is expected, be perfected to-
morrow, and steps will be taken i'm
mediately to unite and centralize in
one institution all of the grain and
forage growing agriculturists of the
state.
The purpose is to do away, as far
as possible, with the middlemen and
all OF the costly and unnecessary
machinery of business that now exists
between the producer and the con-
sumner of hay and grain. The farmers
interested-and they are of every ag-
ricultural county in Washington--are
satisfied that by the plan now under
way the producer will come nearer to
getting the true value of his produce
and the consumer will be able to buy
much cheaper than under the prevail
ing conditions.
Andrew Olson, of Ellensburg, a
former member of the Washington
Legislature, is one of the leaders in
the project, and with his associates,
J. e. Gabbart, William lockwood and
j. N. Birch, all farmers of Kittitas
county, has enlisted subscribers to
the enterprise in all parts of the state.
Associated farmers local organiza-
tions in Skagit, Snohomish, Yakima
and other counties, as well as hun
dreds of individuals, have Endorsed
the resolutions adopted in conventions
at Mount Vernon and Ellensburg out
lining the policy aud plans of
general consolidation of hay and grain
raisers.
The first step after incorporation
will be the absorption of the W. w.
Robinson Company's warehouses.
equipment and business and the re-
establishment of that plant is the
state clearing house and sales head
quarters of the new institution.
Seattle is to be the chief distrib-
uting point, as it is already the big
gest market for hay and grain in
Washington. Adequate facilities for
storing enormous tonnage of feed and
farm products will be installed as
needed, and perfect system of mar
keting to the best advantage of both
producer and buyer will be followed.
GAS we have been doing business in
the past and as we are now doing it, -
said Mr.. Gabbart, "there is great
and wholly unnecessary loss of money
both to the farmers and to the con-
Stunning public. We prepare our stuff
for final consumption, and then sit
down and wait for some middleman
or his buyer to come along and offer
us whatever they feel like paying u.s.
"They do not figure the cost of pro-
duction to us, nor are their offered
prices based on the expenses of
actually producing the crop. Their
profits come out of us, although they
have done nothing in production, and
later out of the consumer, who finds
his market prices made for him by
commission men, brokers, middlemen,
buyers and even spectators.
"Under the old system, when we
got the least profit and the lowest
prices for our crops we find that the
final buyer is paying the highest

Our Cost

We are the worlds largest
tire builders. We build almost
as many tires as any other two
plants combined.
Our factories are new. Our
equipment is modern. We
have invented wealth of labor
saving machinery. We employ
efficiency experts.
Our capital cost is exceeding
ly low, due to small capitaliza-
ton.
Grade for grade, our cost of
making must be far below the
rest.

The Evidence

-
This is shown by the fact
that Goodyears far outsell the
rest, after 100000 have been
used.
Our sales last year were larger
than the previous II years put
together.
That's the result of testing
these tires on hundreds of thou
sands of cars. Men have proved
enormous savings.

shielding advertisers. This time they
are doing it a little more cunningly
than heretofore.
/NLast Friday, the Committee of
Fifteen, which should be called the
Committee of Fifty, gave out list
iof sixty-two owners of property be-
ing used for purposes of prostitution.
The majority of these owners of
tenderloin property were rich and
respectable" citizens, and were re-
Ceiving exorbitant rent for the prop
erty being used as resorts.
Many of the rich and respectable"
property owners indeed were per-
sons who go to church three times
a day on Sunday and make a point
of being prominent in vice crusades.
1t was a nasty shock when their
names were made public in that rude
fashion, and the trust newspapers
were in a fine pickle about it.
Stil, some trust newspapers found
a way out. They gave the names of
the "rich and respectable" members
of the Committee of Fifteen and for
got the names of the rich and re-
spectacle" property owners.
Still, some of the trust newspa-
pers, including the Tribune, felt that
they would only show themselves up
If they did not publish the list, and
accordingly were moved to do 80.
The Tribune, published along with
the list, strange, wierd interviews
with the real estate owners named,
in which it appeared that:
1. The real estate owners never
had dreamed they had property in
the tenderloin.
2. The real estate owners never
had known they owned the particular
piece Of property in question, which
presumably was wished on them by
property owners or the like.
. 3. If the real ESTATE owners ever
did know they owned that piece Of

5. Had the real estate owners
known what their property was be-
ing used for they would have been
shocked and mortified.
6. Besides being shocked and
mortified, they Immediately would
have evicted the tenant, who alone
was to blame.
Z. Having now learned that their
property was being used for purposes
of prostitution and for that reason
was putting exorbitant rent into their
jeans, their one ambition In life was
to evict the tenant.
8. To that end, they were willing
to cooperate with anyone and ev-
eryone who really meant business
about prosecuting them for breaking
the law.
8. Never again would they be
caught renting property for purpose
Of prostitution.
And 10. 1t was a burning shame
that the chief of police and the
mayor and the sheriff's Office and
the morals court and the w. C. T.U.
had not told them what they were
renting their property for and why
they were getting an exorbitant rent
for it, and they wanted it understood
that they thought prostitutes the
lowest animals on the face of the
earth, who should be driven from
the earth as such.
That was the beginning Of the
game of deceiVing the people and
shielding the rich advertisers. Since
then, it has gone on day by day, with
little stories, not so big they would
attract too much attention and thus
lead to pertinent inquiries, about how

CHAPTER XII.

In Which Keziah Breaks the News.
1t was nearly five o'clock, gray dawn
Of what was to be clear, beautiful
summer morning, when Keziah softly
lifted the latch and entered the par
sonage All night she had been busy
at the Hammond tavern. Busy with
the doctor and the undertaken, who
had been called from his bed by young
Higgins; busy with Grace, soothing
her, comforting her as best she could,
and petting her as a mother might
pet a stricken child. The poor girl
was on the verge of prostration, and
from hysterfcal spasms of sobs and
weeping passed to stretches of silent,
dry-eyed agony which were harder to
witness and much more to be feared.
1T is all my fault" she repeated
over and over again. "All my fault!
I killed him! l killed him, Aunt Ke-
ziah! What shall l do? Oh, why
couldn't l have died instead? 1t would
have been so much better, better for
everybody"
DR.. Parker was very anxious.
She must rest" he told Mrs. Cof
fin. "She must, or her brain will give
way. I'm going to give her something
to make her sleep and you must get
her to take it."
So Keziah tried and, at last, Grace
did take the drug. In little while
she was sleeping, uneasily and with
means and sobDings, but sleeping, new
ertheless.
Now it's your turn, Keziah," said
the doctor. You go home now and
rest, yourself. We don't need you any
more just now. Now you go home.
You've had hard night, like the rest
Of u.s..
How hard he had no idea. And Ke-
ziah, as she YEARLY entered the par
sonage, realized that the morning
would be perhaps the hardest of all.
