His Gift ia the Bride

A New England congressman who
was visiting in the country called on
a boyhood friend, now a justice Of the
peace. While chatting Of old times a
couple came in to be married. The
justice performed the ceremony, and
after accepting modest fee handed
the bride an umbrella. The visitor
observed the proceedings in solemn
silence, and after the couple had made
their exit he turned to his friend and
asked:
"Do you always do that, Arthur ?"
"Marry them? Oh, yes, if they
have the license"
"No. mean give the bride pres
ent."
"a present? Why, wasn't that her

GLADE IRRIGATION
PROJECT BUMPED
Government Refuses to Accept
Desert Land Proofs Under
the Byers Ditch

Tile Dy cIS D1ICu
An adverse report has been
made by the government as to
the Glade High Line Canal COM
pany, a private irrigation pro-
ject which contemplated the re-
clamation Of some $4,000 acres
of lands in Franklin county
north of Pasco. There are a
large number of desert land en-
trymen holding claims which it
was hoped might ultimately be
watered from the bitches of this
concern who are directly affect
ed by the decision Of the Gener-
al Land Office, notice of which
was received at the Walla Walla
land office last week. Many an
nual profs of expenditures made
by entryman covering a period
of nearly four years, based upon
payments made to the company,
have practically been nullified by
the action of the department.
In many cases, also, applications
for extensions of time in which
to make final proof have been
pending, waiting action as to
the Glade company. These APP
plications will now be rejected,
and unless new and satisfactory
grounds for extending time can
be shown the entries will be cam
celled.
The decision which is signed
by Clay Tallman, commissioner
Of the general land Office, covers
20 pages, and gives a complete
history Of the project from its
organization in the fall of 1909
to the present time. This his
tory is based on the reports of
special agents of the depart
ment who have made examina-
tons of the project from time
to time. and recommendations
of the Geological survey. The
findings are summed up in the
words of a special examiner,
whose views were concurred in,
in the following language:
'Unless the Glade High Line
Canal company is reorganized
with sufficient financial backing
to insure the ultimate success
Of the project, there is absolute
ly no way by which the entry
men hereunder can ever secure
water"
The report also says that the
water right of the company is
of doubtful validity. Further
more, no right of way has been
granted for a ditch over either
the lands owned by the North
ern Pacific railway company's
holding, lands owned by the
state, or held by the entrymen
under the desert land act.
The status of the Glade COM
pany has been in doubt since
early in the spring of 1911,
when the local land office re-
quested an examination of the
project by a government agent.
In the meantime the company,
under the management of A. S.
Byers,has collected thousands of
dollars from entrymen holding
desert land claims in the vicin.
ity, the payments made to the
company being the basis of an
nual proofs Of expenditures
which are required of all entry.

per acre for the first three years

PLANS FOR JOINT
BY.PR0OUCTS PLANTS
Fruit Selling Agencies Agree to
Cooperate with Each Other
In Big Enterprise

Joint support on the part
of the Yakima Valley Fruit
growers association, Yakima
County Horticultural Union,
Yakima Fruitgrowers' exchange
and the Ritchey- Gilbert Co. with
the Yakima Fruit Products Co.
for the manufacture of fruit by
products in this city, establish
ment of a plant at Wenatchee,
and the creation of a central sell
ing agency for all fruit by-pro-
ducts of the Northwest, with w.
H. Paulhamus, of Puyallup, at
the head, is the ambitious plan
determined upon as result of
three long sessions held by the
committee of 10 from the North
west at the Commercial club, on
Saturday, says the Yakima Re-
public.
1t was the unanimous opinion
of the committee members from
Montana, Idaho, Oregon and
Washington that it would be
practically useless for them to
give their time and effort and
others to give their money to
the establishment of by-product
factories to take care of the sur
plus and waste of the orchards
of the Northwest unless some
arrangement was made in adj
vance that should insure against
such decentralization of the by
product market as has followed
price-cutting and kindred abuses
for which the grower has had
to suffer by reason of rival or
CARNATIONS in the fresh fruit
selling field.
Plants at North Yakima and
Wenatchee were considered i'm
perative; others at Spokane,
Dayton and in the Bitter Root
valley in Montana and in south
ern Idaho were believed quite as
necessary. That these should
be handled along strictly coop
erative lines, in the control of
the fruitgrowers themselves,
and that all stockselling schemes
by unknown outsiders should be
discouraged, was the unanimous
decision.
1t was also believed by the
committee essential to the plans
success that the present fruit
growers organizations and prin-
cipal shipping firms in each To-
cality should cooperate in sup
port Of existing plants or in the
establishment of new ones.
With the purpose of ascertain
ing what response might be ex-
pected from Yakima to these
suggestions the committee in the
evening went into session with
DR.. Presley and F. e. Sickels of
the Fruitgrowers' association;
w. M. Nelson and E. E. Samson,
of the Horticultural union; H.
M. Gilbert; c.. E. Sanderson of
the Yakima Fruitgrowers' ex-
change; M. G.. Remelin of the
Yakima Fruit Products Co. and
other officers or stockholders of
these organizations.
These gentlemen promised en-
thusiastic support, and before
adjournment tentative plans for
cooperation were agreed upon.
AS outlined, each of the four
fruit-shipping organizations are
to contribute at the rate of $3.50
per car of the tonnage handled
this season, which will make a
fund of about $4,000 to which
may be added $4,000 from other
sources, forming preliminary
capital of either a new by-pro-
duct factory in this city or, if an
agreement can be reached with
the stockholders of the Yakima

eighty-six blocks and make desert Of
40 acres in the heart of the city.

of which has been variously estimated
at from s5o,Oo0.ooo to s1c5. 900. but upon
which the total insurance collected was
only $4,000. 600. - o..
Even Baltimoreans find, it hard to real

this city a place of which to be proud
Extends Into Beautiful Suburbs.
Not only has the entire burnt district
been built up-with some hundreds fewer
buildings, il is true but much more val
uable-but the city has grown and i'm
proved in every direction and a large
part Of the building has been done In
such beautiful suburbs as Roland Park,
Walbrook, Forest Park, and others out
side the city boundaries.
According to estimates Of the building
inspectors Office the amount Of build
ing within the city itself within ten years
exceeds s15o.ooo.ooo in value. Probably
more than two-thirds. of this was done
within the burnt district.
Baltimore used to be known as a city
of cobblestone pavements. At the time
of the fire it had only seventy miles of
what is known as improved paving, and
much of that was in bad repair.
At the end of last year theve were more
than 1s7 miles of smooth paving, and
thirty-five to forty miles lis being added
every year.
Think Of Then and Now.
Think of what Charles street above
North avenue was a decade ago-meven
cobblestones with an uneven car track as

into a ravine only to climb another steep

TOOK AWAY HIS APPETITE
Lover of Mince Pie Had Decided OBJ
lection to Sharing the OeIicacy
With Restaurant Cat.

Until recently detective Sergeant
Tim Bailey was lover of mince pie.
Today If anyone offered him a bakery
full of mince pies he would turn on
his heel and do quick countermarch.
Figuratively he has had his fill OF the
good old pastry.
At dinner time one day not long
ago Bailey went into little restaurant
near the Hall of Justice. Three
boiled eggs, a cup Of Java and a II by
Il wedge of mince pie" he told the
waiter.
Bailey polished off the eggs and
coffee in great shape, and then at
tackled the pie. He had just begun
when a big black cat that had been
reposing on the counter a few feet
away awoke, stretched, struck at a
yagrant fly with a chubby paw, and
then Ieaped into the display window
of the place. The window was laden
with delicacies to allure the hungry
passerby.
The first thing that Tabby made for
was the remains Of the pie that had
been cut for Bailey. Kitty's first bite
was Bailey's last. He dropped his
fork with bang, reached for his hat
and rushed I'D to the counter.
"Sa-a-y," he cried, what are you
running here, a restaurant or a ken
mel club" He paid his bill, and was
away down the street before the
dazed keeDer of the place could catrh
his bTeath.-New York Times.

on behalf Of his government, apollo
gized to the United States Thursday
for the interview given out in New
York by Sir Lionel Garden. British
ambassador to Brazil, criticizing Presi-
dent Wilson's conduct in withdrawing
the troops from Mexico The British
ambassador called at the state depart
ment in person to present his govern
ment's apologies for Sir Lonel's in
discreet remarks.
Sir Cecil informed Counsellor Lam
sing that he had made every possible
effort to verify the interview accred-
tied to Lionel Garden, but he as yet
had been unable to get into wireless
communication with the ambassador
to Brazil
In the absence of such confrma-
ton, the British ambassador said his
government had instructed him to
make the. fullest apologies and to as
sure the United States that suitable
action would be taken.
The issuance of an interview of this
nature, Sir Cecil continued, was in
direct contravention to diplomatic
usages and precedents. The full text
OF the Interview as published, has
been cabled to the British foreign Of
ice and the British ambassador as
sured Counsellor Lansing that this
would be brought to the attention of
Sir Lionel at the earliest possible mo-
ment and that the home authorities
would call upon him at once for con-
hrmation or denial of the interview.
