DEATH OF A. II. BLAKE
Old Timer in the Valley Passes Away
Saturday Evening, funeral Held
Monday

After lingering illness OF several
weeks. A. H. Blake passed away last
Saturday evening at II o'clock, aged
50 years. The cause of death accord
ing to Dr.. Judah was cirrhosis Of the
liver. Mr. Blake was engaged in
business here with Chas. MIschke for
nearly FIVE years, they sold out their
business last summer and in August
Mr.. Blake and his wife left for his old
home, Indianapolis and on the way
visited relatives at ST. Joseph, Mo.
He had not been feeling in the best
Of health and was in the hope that
change OF climate would be beneficial.
He had only been in Missouri few
weeks however until his condition be-
came such he was forced to enter
hospital. There it is said he realized
that his death was close at hand and it
was his wish that he might spend his
remaining days here among friends.
While in no condition to travel. his
determination was strong and his one
last effort was exerted in making the
long trip. After arriving here he
gradually became worse and finally
lapsed into Inconsistencies in which
state he remained for several days
prior to his death. Mr.. Blake OF
Dad" as he was called, by his more
intimate acquaintances numbered his
friends by the hundreds. During his
last days he doubtless bore untold
agonies, knowing that the end might
come at any moment, but thru il all
he was patient and cheerful to the last.
That his long sleep which has just be-
gun may be peaceful one is the wish
of his friends.
He lieved here four years, coming
from Wenatchee where he lived nine
years. He is survived by his wife and
three sisters and brother who live in
Missouri. He was a member OF the
Eagles, which fraternity had charge OF
the funeral.

lyman Durand May Lose tyesighl

II was reported here this week that
Lyman Durand who formerly made his
home here, but who now lives in Sc
attle, is threatened with the loss of his
eyesight. Mr.. Durand who was a
fireman on the Great Northern up to
about a year ago when his head came
into contact with high tension wire
near the tunnel has suffered more OF
less since that time from the burns he
received and now it appears that cata-
racts are forming in his eyes caused by
the electric shock. AT the time OF the
accident Durand hoyered between life
and death for several months at an
Everett hospital and for months after
wards the burns on his head gave him
trouble as they refused to
heal up. Every effort is now being
made to save his sight.

GETS $500 FROM 5-ACRf
SEVEN YEAR OLD ORCHARD
That is the Record of h. Robinson, of
Peshastin, This Year from His
Apple Crop

H. Robinson and wife came up
from Peshastin yesterday to take No. ]
for Seattle where he and his wife ex-
pect to spend the winter, having leased
his five-acre apple orchard at Peshas-
tin7r ssniles east of Leavenworth,
for the coming year. In talking with
him reporter for this paper learned
his experience since coming to Pc
shastin and engaging in the fruit busi-
ness, and it is so interesting and re-
markable that we thought it worth
printing.
Seven years ago he came to the val
ley and bought five acres Of land and
set it out in apple trees, When they
were four years old, in 1910, he sold
the apple crop for $3.50; for the 1911
crop he received $1.467. Like every
other fruit grower in this valley he did
not receive much for his 1912 crop
and has no accurate account of his in
come''for that year. This year his
trees were seven years old and his
yield from the FIVE acres was 2227
boxes for which he received something
over $2,800. Mr.. Robinson is we'll
along in years but is still hale and
hearty and with reasonably assured
income from his orchard need have no
worry about his material welfare in his
declining years.
Mr.. Robinron served year as pas
tor of the Baptist church at Cashmere
and has also served the Peshastin
church in the same capacity.

Injuries in Accident at
Tonga

Engineer Thoms was probably ia
tally injured and Fireman Hanson
badly scalded, when their engine, the
1902 blew up at Tonga near Cascade
tunnel about noon Wednesday The
cause OF the accident will probably
never be known but it is the belief that
the crown sheet must have dropped.
The train which was in charge Of con-
ductor Henry Bullen was east bound
and was moving at the time of the ex-
plosion. Hand brakes were set which
kept the train from backing down the
long hill. The injured men were
rushed to an Everett hospital where it
is reported Engineer Thoms died yes
terday. Besides being internally in
jured and severely scalded, one leg
was blown entirely off. Both men are

SOCIALIST VOTES ARE
PROTESTED IN 3RD WARD
Nearly 500 Citizens Went to Polls and
Expressed Their ChoiCe-Interest
Was Lacking

With the exception of few slight
differences in the third ward, Tuesday S
electian was very quiet and peaceful
one. In that district in which the
Socialist vote predominates, objections
were raised as TO their voting the citi-
zens ticket in view Of the fact that the
Socialists had called a convention to
nominate candidates for the general
election in December. Protests were
entered against the vote Of S. c. VOL
denburg and others of his party, but
nevertheless they marked their ballots
and their vote counted too.
The day was cold and dreary but
despite this fact an unusual number OF
voters turned out and went to the
polls. Shortly after the counting OF
the ballots began a slow drizzle OF rain
started in which kept up nearly con-
tinually since that time.
The interest taken in former cleo
tons was lacking on this occasion,
however numerous automobiles were
kept running most of the day.
The following table will show how
the vote stood after the final count.

COMPLICATIONS IN
 IMPEACHMENT TRIAL DATE
Would Be About October il In Busiest
 Part of Election Campaign.

Albany, N Y, Aug. 10-Lawyers here have expressed great interest in the point raised that no impeachment trial of Gov. Sulzer can be had at an extraordinary session because Of the constitutional prohibition against any action at such a session. except at the initiative of the governor himselm.
 It is pointed out in this connection that if this contention were well grounded it would be impossible to re- move a governor at a time when the legislature was not in session even though he should be guilty of any self confe ssed rna1feasance that would war rant his removal According to the governors opponents, such an absurd ity would be entirely inconsonant with the entire structure of the laws
 AS the law specifics that in cases Of impeachment charges being presented at least thirty days must be given be- fore trial can begin, the earliest possi- ble date at which the trial court could be convened would be October II, less than a month before the fall election, at which a new assembly will be chos- en- That would bring the trial into the most heated period of the cam paign, with TO reasonable probability of it's termination before the election. There is wide speculation as to the possible result of this on the govern or's announced special campaign against all assemblymen of whatever party who do not agree with his d1- rect primary views.

 Secretary Daniels announced tonight that the cruiser Tacoma had been or dered from Newport, R. l., to the east coast of Mexico to take aboard Amer fcan citizens desiring to leave the tur Fhulent southern republic. Many Amer icans have found refuge on board the battleships of Rear Admiral F9etcher's s squadron. but as the battleships can go into only a few of the larger harbors, it was decided to dispatch a vessel of light draft to drop into shallow harbors along the coast.
 The Tacoma will proceed at once to Norfolk for coal and then steam south ward, probably to join the battleships off Vera Cruz.
