JOKE WAS ON INVESTIGATOR
He Had an Idea 1t Was on Restau- rant Proprietor, but 1t Turned
 Out Otherwise.

The late Norman B. Ream, the or ganizer of the steel trust and many other important corporations, once said to a New York reporter about 8 trust investigation:
 Maybe these investigations will warden.
 "A game warden heard that a res taurant was serving a game out of sea- son. He disguised himself with false beard, visited the place and ordered a pheasant.
 The pheasant, delicately high like roquefort cheese, as well as all good pheasant should be, was served to the game warden, and he devoured it to the last morsel, at the same time in- of rare old Burgundy-for the state, of course, paid for it all.
 At the end of his repast the game warden summoned the proprietor and said:
 't1 arrest you, sir, in the name of the lawi'
 The proprietor's mouth opened in astonishment. He swallowed two or three times, then he gasped:
 'Wh-what for?'
 For serving inc a pheasant out of season. said the game warden.
 "A look of relief appeared on the proprietor's face.

WOULD HAVE MADE TRADE
Disguised Drummer Was Willing to Accept Joking Offer if the Law
 Had Allowed It.

A travelling salesman for a Ganse- recently back from trip through the rough lands of eastern Pennsylvania, tells this possibly true tale:
 One day on my last trip I had a siX-mile ride to make to the county seat, and the small village in which hire and no other form of convey ance. 1 may say that friend had landed me in the town that morning from his car and I had sold goods enough to pay the expenses of the trip.
 Well, 1 got away on the sorriest specimen of a horse I ever straddled, and I was to send him back by mail carrier, though not as parcel post package. It took me two hours to cover the distance-I was sorry enough 1 hadn't walked-and as I of bones face grinned at me from between the bars of small square window. I was too sore to smile, but I nodded to the grin, and the prison CT called to me:
 Say, mister he said, how'd you like to trade that critter for 30 days in jail?'
 Just then I would have been glad enough to have traded, but the law wouldn't let me, and I rode on."- New York Sun.

VOTERS WILL PASS
 ON PRIMARY LAW
STATEWIDE PROHIBITION PASSED BY LAST LEGlSLATURE ALSO
 TO BE SUBMITTED.
MAY BE THE CHIEF ISSUES
Under Initiative and Referendum Amendment Voters Will Have Op-
 portunity to Settle Questions.
IitHR Rock

l4lLblG IlOGb--
 It is now practically settled that two very important measures will be submitted to the voters of Arkansas at the election to be held in Novem- Der, 1916, under the initiative and ref erendum amendment to the state con stitution. One is the submission of the primary election law, defeated by the lower house of the last Legislature, and the other seeks to repeal the state wide prohibition bill passed by the last Legislature.
 These measures will very likely be the chief issues in the campaign to follow the election, and the candidates for governor will be compelled to de clare themselves on the subject
 It is conceded by all we'll informed politicians that the primary measure will be adopted by an overwhelming majority, as the people of Arkansas are determined to put stop to cor ruptton in the state primaries, if it can possibly be done. The measure 70 be submitted to the voters Is drawn by @ committee of the best known lawyers in Arkansas, men known for their integrity in every walk of life, and the fact that the proposed law bears their names will in itself insure many thousands of votes for the measure.

For the first time in it's history Ar kansas may follow to a considerable extent the examples of Illinois, Colo rado and other states this year in working convicts on the highways. Un- der the new Alexander road law the amount of roads to be built in the state will be large and several county judges already have expressed desires to take advantage of the law, which allows them to use prisoners sentenc- ed from their counties to less than five years.
 County Judge J. A. Marsh of White county announced that he would ask tor the use of all the available prison CTS from his county, including those that might be sentenced during the remainder of the year. He said the use of the county prisoners had been so successful that he felt sure all the state prisoners could be used to advan- tage on the roads. Other county judges have decided upon the same course. The penitentiary commissioners are in favor of the movement
 T believe many of the county judges will ask for the use of prisoners on roads this summer" Captain John T. Burkett, a member of the commission, said. Il have talked with several of the judges, who have told me they in- tended to use the men on the roads this summer. We have about 600 men at the penitentiary now for whom we have no work and they could be used to advantage in this way. It is better for them to be out at work than to be shut up and hope they will be given work in this way

Both suit to enioin Senator Harry c. Harris salary as secretary to the tax commission--designe to test his right to hold the posftion-and a re- consideration of two appointments made by Chairman R. G. Dye and Commissioner F. E. Brown are possi- tilities. Commissioner A c. Martineau did not concur in two appointments of TIT Dye and Mir Brown and he said these will be reconsidered.
 The suit in Secretary Harris case, If brought, will be based upon a con- stitutional provision that no member n{ the legislature shall hold another state office during the period for which he was elected to the General Assem- bly, senator Harris term will not ex- pire until early in 1917. However there is doubt whether the Tax Con- mission secretaryship would be con- eidered a state office.

END OF STEAMBOATING

Four steamboats, that formerly piled
on the Columbia river between We
natchee and up river points, and one
season of the year running up the
Okanogan river as far as Riverside,
were destroyed by fire at Wenatchee
last Thursday. AS they were not in
sured the loss is total. For years this
fleet of craft, at one time owned and
operated by the Griggs family, did all
the carrying trade for this upper coun-
try. Freight and passengers were
landed at Brewster and from that
point distributed over the county by
stage and freight wagons. For few
weeks in June, during high water,
boats navigated the Okanogan to Riv-
erside, which was at that season a
lively shipping point. Business houses
to the north of Riverside generally
made it rule to lay in goods for the
year while boats were running to
Riverside, as that reduced the eXpen-
ses for wagon haul. Such disaster
as the destruction of the boats in
those days would have worked a Sc
we're hardship on the people of this
county. Now that the railroad paral-
lels the river there is no longer busi-
ness for boats, and the loss will be felt
only by the owners. The age of
steamboating is over for this upper
country, but those who have travelled
by that means on the Columbia and
experienced some of the dangers ana
excitement of river navigation Will
never forget those old days even IN
the face of these better days.

SOME STORM

The cloud burst has been a common
phenomenon and a popular theme of
conversation during the past week, as
stories Of wash outs, more or less ex
aggerated, drift in from several points
Of t'e compass. From the Chesaw
country, from the Anglin neighbor-
hood, where an auto was covered from
sight by the debris, from the Peterson
canyon, from Okanogan, from White
stone come tales of sudden flood and
corresponding wash and damage. OF
oil these stories the most remarkable
narrative drifts in from Ruby canyon,
where the conditions are ideal for
freak elemental performances in the
way Of rain and wash. They had
storm, and cloud burst, and accom-
panying wash out down that way last
week that throws all other similar
convulsions of nature of that charact-
or completely in the Indifferent class.
inere miniature deluge swept down
inc narrow canyon, between high
mountains, ripping and tearing out
everything in its pathway. Miles Of
road were obliterated and much dam
ase was done to the small farms that
nnge the course Of Salmon creek.
unly on smaller scale was it a repi-
uuon OF the great fooG, many years
aso' that almost completely erased
.onconully. The marvellous part Of
nls particular storm was the unpre-
fe0ented fall of hail. 1t is alleged
'aat hail fell to the depth of three
icet in a portion Of the canyon. The
@ory goes that one farmer, after the
a'orm, found his hogs buried in hail
Suul only the tip of their snouts were
SUCKING above the accumulated col
%cuon Of Icy pellets, and they had to
e rescued from their chilly environ
ment oy excavation. Some of the
'uaiier animals that were unable to
Aeep their noses above water, or hail,
'uscumoed. Those that were in tenn
p'afy cold storage seemed to suffer
~ particular ill effects from the ex-
r'''ence. This miraculous tale comes
Aousn authentic channels, although
'Ouading like fiction. 1t certainly in
a'es that Ruby canyon stands for

'st nood, hail stones and accom-
v'nylas disaster SO far recorded in
