Charles J. Bonaparte, 64 Today, Wants Bigger
 Navy For Uncle Sam

Charles Joseph Bonaparte, who claims descent from a brother of Ma poIeon the Great, and who served as secretary of the navy and attorney general in the cabinet of President Roosevelt, was born in Baltimore sixty-four years ago today. The for mer head of the navy has lately been a staunch advocate of a bigger fleet for Uncle Sam.
 ssIn my judgment.'' said the head of the American Bonapartes, stthe navy should be made just as soon as possi ble, and thereafter always kept, strong enough to encounter, with at entire fleet of any power whose hos tiIity is a, reasonable possibility of the future; for practical purposes, this means, to my mind, the entire fleet of any power except Great Britain If am correctly informed, the navy is very far from such strength at pres ent; it has too few superdreadna no battle-c cruisers /at all. very few submarines and virtually no aircraft, and the existence of other notable and alarming deficiencies is, believe now generally conceded
 The United States army. thinks MT Bonaparte, is also lamentably made quate.
 "A better understanding of the sit uafion,'' he said, "can be obtained by a comparison of the military estab- lishment of the United States with that of a third rate power which is also a democratic republic Switzer- land mobilized her army in the early days of last August to protect her neutrality from violation and her ter ritory from invasion, fearing the fate which has befallen Belgium. She placed upon her frontiers, or in inn mediate support of troops so placed, so far is now known, approximately 3oO,oo well drilled, well organized troops within some ten days. With in the same time, or a period twice or thrice as long. the United States could not get together one-third as many trained and properly equipped men. We may dismiss, once and for ever, the thought that any apprecia- ble number of Americans wish our country to become g. warlfke power and to embark on a career of con- quest and aggression. We must re- member, however, that while 'citi- zenry' is now the raw material of sol diers, they can more do their work than a lump of pig iron can serve as a sabre"

New York, June e.--Opening-Sec retary Bryan's resignation created some unsettlement at the opening of to-day's session of the stock ex- change.

COYOTE AND RABBIT DRIVE
Thousand Dummies Fall but Coyotes
are Too Wary for the Hunters

Richland, Jan. 27-What was hoped
and expected to be big coyote and
rabbit drive was staged for last Sum
day, but undoubtedly on account Of the
weather being so cold only q few Of
those expected put in an appearance
at the appointed time and place.
Rabbits are exceedingly plentiful
hereabouts and in spite Of the fact
that less than score of gunners took
part in the sport, upwards Of 1000
rabbits were killed.
From sounds heard every night any
where in this district one is assured
that there are also plenty Of coyotes,
but they seem always to have heard
the news Of such forward movements
and make themselves scarce at any
rate the public treasury has never
been given scare from the number
Of scalps or paws or ears that have
been presented for bounty from this
section.

A BIG SWAP

Rlchland, Jan. 27-NOw comes M.
c. Poindexter again to the fore. He
was supposed last week to stay at his
present location on the A. C. Lowrey
place for a while, but Mr.. Gibbs want
ed to live on that place, and as Frank
Petsel has recently caught the moving
spirit in violent form it was an easy
matter for Mr.. Poindexter to fix it so
that he, Petsel, could depart in most
any direction he would.
1t was this way: Mr.. Petsel owned
six acres directly adjoining the city on
the south. It has fine concrete
house and some ranch buildings, and
the land is in a high state of cultiva-
altogether it is one of the very
desirable homes in town. He traded
that property to Mr.. Poindexter for 80
acres of land in Boise county, Idaho,
of which so acres is in timber and
the balance in grass pasture land, 100
acres of wheat land in North Dakota,
80 .acres of timber in northern Mime
sofa and one city lot in Hanford.
Mr.. Petsel had leases on several
tracts hereabouts on which he had
strawberry beds on part, and the rest
on which he intended to plunge on
spuds this season. Those leases he
turned over to Mr.. Poindexter who
still has it in mind to follow out Mr..
Petsers ideas in regards to raising a
big acreage Of spuds.
In making this trade Mr.. Petsel did
not close out all of his landed inter-
ests here as he still has several city
lots and a two-acre orchard within the
city limits, which will undoubtedly be
an incentive to Mr.. Poindexter to con-
tinue his diligence in his chosen voca-
ton.
Mr.. Petsel is planning for an auc-
ton sale to close out all his farm ami
mails, tools, etc., preparatory to his
emigration to the Harvey Valley of
Eastern Oregon where he has some
sub-irrigated ranch land.
So the way the matter stands now
is that Mr.. Petsel will move clear
away, Mr.. Poindexter will move on the
place vacated by him, and Mr.. Gibbs
will move from the old Peterson home
in town to the A. c. Lawrey place va
Gated by Poindexter. All this is sup
posed to happen within the next ten
days.
It's good thing these people get
their mail in town as it is doubtful
that any of Uncle Sans rural route
men could keep track of them.

land. Perhaps the one thing more
than others which affords him the
most satisfaction in his newspaper ex-
perience is the fact that he has the

hoped that during his present stay he
will find opportunities to again take
up the good work.

CLIMATE & OTHER THINGS

Richland, Jan. 27-This neck of the
woods has had a long cold spell Of
weather-the ground is frozen deep
and hard. Several old residents here
abouts have qualified as being eligible
to the presidency Of the Ananias club
from telling tenderfeet last summer
that 1--WE have no cold weather here,
it might be little chilly for day or
two, but not long!"
But B. w. Randolph knows there
are warmer places than Richland as
he received the evidence of such a
fact last week in the shape of large
box of fruit coming by express, from
his sister living in the central part Of
Florida.
The box contained pomelos or grape
fruit, tangerines; Satsumas, which re-
sembled tangerines but are larg-
er; wild oranges, which look like a
rough, knotty orange; kumquats,
which are about the color Of an Or
ange, about as large as prune and
taste like an orange and "are to be
eaten, skin and ALL" pinders, which
look like abbreviated editions Of the
Richland peanuts, taste like peanuts
and Mr.. Randolph believes they are
peanuts, in spite Of the name "pinder''
and thin-skinned sweet orange.
Mr.. Randolph is at a loss to know
how to return his sisters compliment.
He might send her crate of Richland
early Strawberries, but he fears that
would be too much Ike sending "coals
to Newcastle" It has been suggested
to him by anxious-to-please friends
that he might ship cake Of Columbia
or Yakima river ice, being the proper
and seasonable greeting and q crop Of
which the district is "long" on just
now.

A ONE.HORsE SHOW
Outlaw Failed to Perform and Stran-
ger Walks OF with Pot

Richland, Jan. 27-As is always the
case in every farming community
such as ours, the men folks have some
spare time which must be filled up
with work or recreation other than
ranch employment. A goodly number
Of such was in town last Saturday to
be on hand for anything out Of the or
binary that might turn up.
As it happened, there was stran-
ger in town who said as how he was
some horseback rider and could ride
anything that had hair and four feet.
Now, one John Weidel owns q horse
here that he got in a sale or trade
from John Glenn. It was, and is yet,
. noted horse, inasmuch as he was
known to be . past master in the art
Of bucking. Local "Wild West" and
Round Up" men had had experience
with said horse to their sorrow and
were perfectly willing and even anx-
ious to see some other fellow try the
ride.
The stranger in town was perfectly
willing to try, but as it would un-
doubtedly entail some exertion on his
part, he ventured the suggestion that
it ought to be worth some price Of adj
mission. The point was well taken,
and some Of the prominent business
men Of the town constituted them
selves a committee to solicit and they
raised the sum Of $50.
The amount Of money being salts
factory to the stranger, it was agreed
by all parties, the stranger and the
donors, that the $50 should be his to
keep providing he stayed to the fin
ish" in the saddle. and did not "pull
leather"
This world is full Of disappoint-
ments. Anticipation is more often
more full Of fun than realization. The
motor in the car or boat don't always
run up to form; neither did this horse
Of John Weidels! Spectators having
money in the pool expressed them
selves as being very much disappoint-
ed and appear to think blame should
be laid on some one-certainly not on
the horse as it acted like perfect
lady or didn't kick, or
balk or step sideways, or get it's back
up or nothing acted as decent
cho,,1l - L. ks~ra~
Some say that John Weidel should
reimburse them either pro rata to the
entire amount of $50, or at least
some portion thereof.
The stranger said 'Thank you, gen.
tlemen, for giving me $50 and such
a pleasant ride"
Now, what do you think Of that?
Wouldn't that jar you? But it never
Jared the stranger bit!
