Hats Off Others.

Chicago, Sept. 15.-Men who wore
their straw hats to the New York
Chicago National league ball game

who had distinguished themselves by
buying new fall hats tore the surumer
hats from the less fortunate and sailed
them onto the diamond. Although
there were numerous fights, no one
safely wore his straw hat throughout
the game The remains of several hun
bred straw hats We're picked up by the
ground keeper after the game.

1t is announced that out of the
100 or more requests for state
roads and surveys which were
presented at the last session of
the legislature. but two surveys
will be made this year-and Rep
resentative J. C. Hutchinson's
bill for the survey of a state road
down the Columbia river is one
of them.
This survey is to be made from
Meyers Falls to Davenport, and
will run through one Of the rich
est fruit and agricultural sections
of the great northwest, where
present roads are poor. and
where there is no railway trans
portation.
Feasibility Of construction,
proper grades, and service to
the greatest number of people at
reasonable cost, must determine
the exact route in several places.
and the state highway commits
sioner will probably handle these
matters. The fact that after so
many years the Columbia at last
has a survey in sight is such vel
come news that the residents Of
that great valley will not likely
quibble over the smaller matters.
And Representative Hutchin-
son is to be congratulated on the
success of his endeavors for the
Columbia river people.
The blight" which is affect
ing the apple, pear and ounce
trees of the country, has made
serious inroads upon several ap-
pie orchards in Stevens county.
and Horticultural Commissioner
Eakle and his deputies have for
some time been using every ef-
fort to stamp out the disease. .
Blight is the same to an apple
tree as blood poisoning is to the
human system. The blight germ
gets into the sap. and in a few
days can spread over a tree.
The result is death to the tree,
and, the germ can be carried by
wind and winged insects to other
trees. Hence the necessity of
cutting and Immediately burning
all affected limbs, to save the
other trees, and to save neighbor-
ing orchards.
Stevens county is not nearly
so badly hit by the blight as some
other orchard sections, but pre-
ventive care must be constantly
taken to preserve the orchards.

people are slow in urging Cover
nor Lister to run for the senate.
There is no question of his ability
to creditably fill the position, and
he could be elected; but Lister
was elected by the people of this
state to be their governor. They
wanted him governor because he
promised to do certain things. It
is up to him to continue doing
them. He is giving this state an
administration which has been
long needed, and the state can
hardly afford to drop back into
the old methods.
We have had radicals and we
have had dead ones representing
this state in ress-and we
have lived through it. With an
able state administration, and an
active internal development. no.
thing can stop the advance of this
state, and Governor Lister is
doing needed work and building
for himself a reputation among
the people of this state which
means more than the doubtful
honor of succeeding Senator
Jones.
Representative LaFollette, the
standpatter who is supposed to
be representing this district in
congress, says 81 hope the state
will not desert Senator Jones. as
look upon him as one Of the
states greatest assets at the
capital"
Must be that Representative
LaFollette and Senator Jones look
through the same knothole when
viewing the progressive legisla-
ton being enacted at the national
capital without their help.
Last week a we'll known bache-
lor who has lived in Colville for
the past twenty years, not wish
ing to bother his friends the doc
tors and druggists, sent to Spo-
kane for small jug Of spurious
liquor. The order was promptly
filled by the Spokane house and
sent by express to the bachelor in
question. The local express agent
held that under the law such
packages could be delivered only
to a residence, and that if any
person did not eat in the same
place where he slept, he had no
residence, and therefore having
no residence the package could
not be delivered, and must be re-
turned to the shipper. If the re-
cent ruling of the express agent
holds, there are some business
and professional men in this city
that do not or never have resided
in Colville, have no home, do not
live here or any other place, and
possibly are not citizens of the
United States.

Several of the republican and
progressive papers of the state
are running frequent intimations
that Governor Lister will be a
candidate for U. s. senator next
year. It is probable that they
would be willing to give him quite
a good boost if he would only run.
The secret is that the governor
would have to resign his position
to run for senator, and the state
government would then be in the
handsof the republicans "a highly
desirable change in the estimation
of certain former state politicians
who are NOT getting Office under
the new democratic governor.

some sugar and raisins In exchange for
them, for 1 want to make a cake. and

Billy Pig started Off on trot down
the road, and he fully intended to obey
his mothers instructions, but he had Ii
cross q stream of water, and instead OF
going over the little bridge he walked
under it, and the muddy water felt SC
cool and smooth that he fingered, and
finally set down his basket and pad
died about until he forgot all about tho
eggs.
Now it happened that soon after he
left home Billy Goat came down the
road and saw Billy Pigs mother stand
ing by the gate.
Good morning, Madame Pig" said

walking faster in the direction in which
Billy Pig had gone.
Il would just like some OF that cake, ="
thought Billy Goat. II wish I could
think of some way to get a big slice. &"
While he was thinking he hurried
along and suddenly he looked up and
there was Billy Pig padding in the
stream under the little bridge.
There he is wasting his time when
his mother told him to hurry" said Billy
Goat, "and he will get a big piece OF
cake when it is baked, and he does lot
deserve a bit Then he spied the bas-
ket of eggs under A bush a short dis
tance away. I'll take the eggs to mar
ket myself thought Billy Goat. and
Billy Pig shall be punished. as he de-
serves"
Billy Goat crept softly up to the bush
and took the basket and ran all the way
to market He returned b, another road
and. of course, did not meet Billy Pig.
Il knew you were In hurry for the
raisIns and sugar. Madame Pig ne
said. when she answered the knock on
the door.
Il saw the basket OF eggs under a
bush down by the bridge and Billy Pig
was having a good time padding In the
water. AS was going to market any
way | thought would do him a kind
ness and take them along and help
you at the same time"
Billy Goat smiled as he said this, and
Madam Pig thought he was very
thoughtful fellow.
Wait until ! sec that bad bad Billy
Pig" she said. I'm teach him to waddle
in the water when mwating for
things to make my cake.
Come right in. Billy Goat, and when
my cake is baked YOU shall have big
slice" Billy Pig became tired after a
while of padding. and then he thought
of the eggs and what his mother had
said when he started for market
