800 BUSY ON STORAGE DAM
Despite Shows Government Keeps
Up Work on Big Project.

Ellensburg With nearly four feet
of snow at the camp site, force OF
200 men is now at work at Lake Kee-
chelus for the United States govern
ment on the storage dam. The deep
snow at the lake has considerably
hampered operations, with the result
that a larger force will have to be en-
ployed in order to have the work pro
gress according to calculations. Be-
cause of the short working season, ii
is estimated that fully three years will
be occupied in finishing the storage
work at Keechelus.
The government is storing the wa
tiers of Lakes Keechelus, Kachees and
Gle Elum, and it is estimated that
when the projects now under way have
been completed, that 800, 600 acre feet
of water will be stored. The storage
water is for use on the various irrigat.
ing projects in the Kittitas and lower
valley.
Supervising Engineer F. M. Swi-
CERT, of the Reclamation service, who
recently visited the camp at Keeche-
lus, reports that two excavators will
be at work within few weeks, and
that operations on tunnel shaft are
to be started. The force employed at
Keechelus will be gradually increased
as the snow melts, until close to 400
men are on the work.

Relief of Distress Causes Suspicion
of Americans.

Boston-The Board of Commission
ers for foreign missions has received
cable dispatch from the United
States consul at Saloniki saying the
American missionaries, Rev. P. B.
Kennedy and Mrs. Kennedy, have
been expelled from their station in
Kortcha, Southern Albania, by Greeks
and now are in Saloniki.
Secretary Barton, of the board, said
Mr.. and Mrs. Kennedy were sent to
Kortcha six years ago and have been
conducting school for Albanian girls
there. They were in the city when
the Greeks took possession.
"Mr. Kennedy" Mr.. Barton added,
has given himself fully to the work
of relieving the great distress prevail
ing in the city and in the neighboring
villages. In the last letters received
from him he reported that apparently
the Greek officials were suspicious of
this, as guard was placed in front of
his house and the names of all those
who came to the house were kept

Wenatchee- 1T is a significant fact
that 81, OOO,OO of Boston money is
being invested in orchard projects be-
tween Chelan and Tonasket and that
not one of these are promotion
schemes. Not an acre nor share of

of them closed, and in each group is a
combination of gentlemen residing in
Boston who have put up the money for
these heavy investments. Their ac-
ton was taken after long investiga-
ton of the apple-growing industry.
William N. Mears, manager Of the

WASHINGTON STATE NEWS NOTES
Items on the General Industrial and Educational Development
and Progress of Rural Communities Public lnsu'uos' ~
YAKIMA CROP 4s45 CARLOADS
Fruit Expert Reports After 2OV
Mile Inspection Trip.

North Yakima-The 1913 fruit crop
If the Yakima valley is estimated at
1915 cars by Fred Thompson, presl-
dent of commission firm here, whose
estimates in the past have always
nroyen closest to the mark. He re-
turned recently after 20O-mile trip
through the fruit districts. The estl-
mate is 5000 short of last years crop.
Three-ffths of the 1915 carloads,
or 1900 cars, will be apples, according
to Mr.. Thompson. Peaches he esti-
mates at 1900 carloads, pears at 25O
cars, prunes at 125 cars, grapes at So
cars and cherries at 20 cars.
''Three shipping stations in the val
lev will show an increase over last
year." said Mr.. Thompson. "They
are Donald, Wapato and Toppenish.
The rest will show decrease, but this
is good crop for an off year. Peach
production will show slight decrease,
but this valley will get good prices be
cause of all the peach sections in the
United States only Michigan and New
England states show crop, and we'll
have an elegant crop here.
II found more apples than / ex-
pected. The old trees were the most
hurt by the frost. Those five, six and
seven years old show a fine bloom ano
will be big producers. Pears and ap'
ricots show the only real damage from
frost in the valley.

RATHER FILLED WITH SALTS
Department Says 1900, 600 Pounds
If Adulterants Used Yearly.

washington, D. C. - Americans,
with the possible exception OF the
barefoot boy, are walking around on
not less than IL, 900, 900 pounds OF giu-
cose and Epson salts, which constitute
adulterants in sole leather. The
assertion is made by the department
of Agriculture, which has just conclud-
ed Investigations of the leather in
dustry. and has issued bulletin en-
titled, sThe Composition Of Some Sole
Leathers.' The adulterants add moth
ing to the wearing value Of the
leather, says the department., and
where present in large quantities may
shorten the life of the leather.
"Sixty-three per cent Of the leath-
ers examined were weighted with GU.
cose, with EPSON salts, or with both, s
according to the findings OF the de-
partment's experts. .sThe quantity
of loading varied from to 7.3 per
cent of EPSON salts, with an average
of 8 per cent. The maximum quanti-
ty of glucose in the loaded feathers
was 1914 per cent, and the average 3D.
per cent. The maximum amount OF
these loading materials found in any
leather was is per cent and the aver
age where both were present was 8
per cent. The results obtained indi-
cate that not less than IL, 900, OOO
pounds of glucose and Epson salts are
sold annually to the American people
as leather"
The loading" is done to increase
the marketable weight of the leather.

BILE variety of barley from which to
manufacture breakfast food and other
cereal products, the Cereal Products
company Of Spokane, has arranged

MAKE NO SUSPICIOUS MOVES
Troops and Warships Quiet While
jap Question is Pending.

Washington, D. president Will
son has determined that no warships
or troops shall be moved, or anything
resembling military or naval demon
stration carried on by the United
States while diplomatic negotiations
with Japan over the California alien
land legislation are in progress, so
that no alarming Interpretation can be
placed on even the ordinary maneuvers
of the army and navy.
The rumor which called for the
White House statement probably be-
gan its rounds when the War depart
ment recently made public orders to
three officers and two companies OF
Coast Artillery to sail from San Fran
cisco for Honolulu about May "a.
These orders, it was explained, were
in conformity with the program for
the creation of a permanent and sufti-
Gent garrison in Hawaii, outlined in
the last annual report of the Secretary
of War, and merely carried out plans
of long standing.
Further representations from the
japanese government in support of its
protest against the California land
legislation were forecast when Wis
count Chinda, after being informally
notified of Governor Johnson's inten-
ton to sign the alien land bill, called
twice at the State department to in
quire when the governor probably
would act.

DO NOT WANT EUROPEANS
Southwest Washington Man Gives
Note of Warning.

Aberdeen, Wash. = "The Panama
canal, which appears to be the great
est blessing to the Pacific Coast, may
become our greatest curse, if steps
are not taken to ward off immigration
of the scum of Southern Europe once
the canal is opened. / consider that
we are facing our greatest crisis. We
will be feeding these people from
soup kitchens and paying for the soup,
if something is not done. The solu-
ton, if it is not too late, is to attract
the sturdy men and women, home
builders, from the northern countries
and fill our lands with them.
This is the view taken by President
L. H. Brewer, Of the Southwest Wash
ington Development association.

NAVY SECRETS ARE STOLEN
Not Especially Valuable, But Ser
ious Leak Is Indicated.

Washington, D. Especial agents
of the department of Justice, officers
of a nationally known detective agency
and the local police have been called
in by the Navy department to investi-
gate 'tleak" through which, during
the last four months, several relative
ly unimportant plans of battleships
and also minor documents have disap-
peared.
The first losses were discovered the
night of March A. Some minor struc-
tural plans of the dreadnaught Penn
sylvania, now building, and other
ships were among them. Documents
not especially secret also disappeared.
Navy officials say they are not SO
much concerned over the importance
of what already has been lost as they
are to find the leak and prevent furth-
er losses. Each battleship has sew
eral sets Of plans, which are some
times widely distributed among the
bureaus and contractors. The general

Manchester and Liverpool with Sent

The affair has caused sensatio,

firmly believed the men were about b
attempt to carry out the threat of the
militant suffragettes.
A bridge over the Great Weston
railway near Westbourne Park sta.
tion, in the west end of London, also
was the object of a "suffragette"
bomb attack. The canister used was
filled with gun cartridges enclosed in
wool, which was saturated with par.
affine oil. The attached fuse had been
lighted, but had gone out.
Another machine was found in the
letter box of the Wandsworth district
postoffice in Southwest London. 1t
consisted of a glass tube containing
fluid. A partly burned fuse was at;

the bomb was set there by militant.
Still another canister of explosives
with a partially burned fuse was found
in Holy Trinity church at Hastings, a
popular watering place on the South
coast, where the militants have been
most active during the week.
A defeat has been inflicted on the
government by the "wild women" in
the matter of the suppression Of the

battleship Oregon is officially doomed
to be used as target by the Navy

as the first vessel to pass through the
