Much Discussion.
George r. Richards of Kennewick
extended an invitation to the direc-
tors to hold the next convention in
his city.
Much interesting discussion was in
dulged in regarding the keeping of
boats on the river and of the advisa-
bility of endeavoring to sell the S15,-
600 worth of stock to towns along the
river. ] y. Teal showed some splen-
did advantages to be gained by maxi
ing some sort of arrangements for
keeping boats on the river-declar-
ing that never in the history of the
country, barring pioneer days, had
there been such a wonderful oppOrtu-
nifty for open river business as to-
day-with the opening of the canal.
etc. II. c. Beach expressed himself
as not being particularly in sympathy
with the idea of keeping the boats on
the river until it was made more nav
igable, but was favorable toward in
creasing tonnage in every way pos
sible when the river was in good nav
igable condition. A free-for-all dis
Cussion ensued regarding the same
hut no definite action taken; many
present were in favor of getting river
boat captains, members of crew, etc,

ly salaries toward building up and
operating the boats along the river,
and declared that it could be made

WEALTHY TAILOR
FOUND MURDERED
NOTE LEFT ONLY CLUE
This is Fit Fate for Beast Who Ru-
ined Young Girl" Reads Missive
Found Beside the BOdy-Police
Think Murderer May Have Got the
Wrong Man.

Chicago, April 14.-"This is fit
fate for beast who ruined a young
girl. He will ruin no more"
This note, found beside the body of
George Dietz, SO, a rich ladies' tailor,
is the only clue to one Of the blOodiest
murders in Chicago in years. Dietz
was found by his wife when she arose.
His skull was beaten to a pulp anl
the body was pounded with a ham,
mer until it was a mass of bruises and
broken bones. The rear door of the
Dietz apartment was unlocked and
stood ajar when the police arrived.
Dietz was wealthy.
Wife Makes Statement.
When his wife partially recovered
from the shock she gave the following
statement to the police: MY husand
and l We're up until 1880 playing
cards with members of the Jyrch fam
ily, old friends. We occupy separate
rooms and retired at the same time.

stepped to the rear of the flat to get

There was no answer so | reached
down and touched his head When l
withdrew my hand it was covered with
blood and ! swooned."
Dietz probably was killed by an in
furiated father. The police think the
slayer may have picked the wrong
man. Dietz was old and a cripple.
He had lived happily with his wife.
A big sheet of paper bearing
stenciled and disjointed sentences.
and the charge This man ruined my
daughter" is the culy clue left by
the slayer. The assassin partly COW
cred Dietz' face with the written
statement Each letter on the sheet
was printed with a peculiar stencil,
commonly used by Greek restaurants
for bills of fare. The lettering was
fost painstaking. 1t is estimated it
must have taken the slayer eight
hours to complete the story.

far, been able to market much of our
products only in limited area and
to limited extent. Except as to
certain products which cannot he

better grades we are able to market
with any degree of satisfaction. This
fact should be borne in mind, as un-

what does it cost to get it there.
