SiIsnca That Came Alive.

 The Pcarlhuntrr was not a man to be long held down. His day was gone but the night remained.
 Tie sheriff was to bring his supper to him. Tle fact suddenly became significant. Maybe he'd come inside. Maybe he'd come alone.
 A rusty stove out in tho hallway be- tween the two cells caught his eye. No poker: no lid. The door was fastened in a manner that prevented its being taken off. The hearth was gone. NOth- ing loose. He stood studying it. The legs! He dartcd behind the stove, lifted it. and wrenched one loose. hid it under his rumpled blouse; and went to the east window to watch the Sheriff'S house.
 A scratching at the west window caught his ear. He listened till It was repeated: crossed the hall and tiptOed to the window. A hand came up to scratch the window ledge again. The Pearlluntcr laid his palm upon it. It was snatched away; but came back again.
 "That you, Pcarlhunter?'
 "Yes."
 The man on the outside raised him self even with the window. The Pearl hunter would have recognized him in half the light-the Boss. Ills face came close to the. bars on the outside

 Save It.

Many skagway people take their lives in their hands by neglecting the kidneys when they know these organs need help. Weak kidneys, are respoDsible for vast amount O. suffering and Ill health, but there Is no need to suffer nor to re main in danger Use Doan's Kid ney Pills-a remedy that has helped thousands of kidney sufferers.
 The following statement leaves no ground for doubt.
 J. w. Lining, carpenter, AT Pine S; Santa Graz, Calf; says: My kidneys wo-s weakened during the sDanish American War while soldier iug in the PhilfpHino Island. My back ached almost constantly and trade 1t hard for me to stoop or do any lifting. My kidneys acted yer frequently and irregularly. I tried Deans Kidney Pills and they Were just what I needed. They soon rid me of the backache and Put my kid neys In good shape. I kno" Deans cant ne beat for kidney trouble' I advise anyone having weak kid neys to try them."

"NNho Is This Man" Yelled the Sheriff. um so Infinitely better than he had planned? Why shouldn't man come to see himself hanged?
 And there the Peorlhunter stood. with the rope around his ncck-the wrong neck-and no proof to put 1t around the right one. Something swelled under the rope; something that Surged up 10 his eyes and struck out a splinter Of fire. He turned 10 the man rn the horse.
 ."ShcriT. if you'n stick my gun back and cut my hands loose. I'll rope you the real Red Mask"
 It was an unwlSe thing 10 say. He knew 1t the moment he'd said 1t. It was unlike him. The man leaning In apparent CareIcSSncSS against the hitch rack wus probably quite un- aware that he was suspected. II might prove costly mistake to let him know that he was. Besides. !t was extremely unlikely that he would have the pearl still on him. With the pearl gone. the proof would be gone. The Pearlhunter'S usual slow caution should have brought a good many con alterations to his mind before he said that. But rope around mans neck makes a prOdlgious difference in the look of things. One cannot help won dering what would have been the out come had the sherifr needed the re quest and cut loose the hands of his prisoner. Things would have hap pened-and they would have hap pened fast.
 The sheriff laughed; hard, raspy laugh. A good many things in that laugh: the jangle of handcufts; the grate of keys in stifr locks-but never a mite of mlrth.
 Hes roped nOw."
 Hes not" was the Pearlhunter's incautiOus answer, but he's handy"
 He had purposely raised his voice. But the man for whose ear it was in- tended never shifted his position {; never changed, even in the slightest, his easy smile. He did slip his hand down the front of his frock coat and loosen 1t against his side, but that was all.
 The sheriff swore; turned slowly in his saddle and glanced the crowd over. Ladies an gentlemen" he said, rais- ing his voice, "as I said before, this man Is entitled to a trial, an trial he'll git. He'll hang-but it'll be the law that hangs i'm, an not you. ad- wise you to break up this damn fool ishneSs an go home"
 It could be seen with half an eye that the sheriff was in no humOr to stand any back talk. The crowd didn't try It; they obeyed-many sullenly, some grumbling openly. A few stayed. The man leaning against the hitch rack went back to the. Mud Hen.

The Car Situation

ENOT ALL of the business
men nor local growers can
see the necessity nor the adyis-
Utility of a campaign to secure
refrigerator cars sfor handling
the 1920 fruit crop of the Yaki-
ma Valley. 1t is true that the
campaign will not increase the
number of refrigerator cars but
the thing it can accomplish is to
secure a fair distribution Of the
available supply. If the shippers
,,sof the Yakima Valley do not
hrifg the transportation needs
of the Valley forcibly to the at
ftention of the transportation
company, it is certain that this
Valley will suffer in competition
with other fruit growing dis
|tricts.
The car situation may be
briefly summarized as follows:
1. Decrease by 10000 Of the
available supply In the past three
years.
2. Diversion of cars to Cali
fornia to move the huge grape
crop to Eastern markets; here
tofore this crop, was retained at
home for the manufacture of
wine and grape juice.
8. Organized and systematic
effort of other Northwestern
communities to obtain REFERS.
One district has raised a sum of
$4,000 for this purpose.
In addition to these reasons
for all Yakima Valley interests
to combine, the railroads have
obtained a tentative sanction
for an increase of 23.9 per cent
lin the freight rate on apples. 1t
lis computed by expert traffic

men that this alone would throw
the Valley out, of competitive
balance with other apple ship
ping sections.
Because it is made apparent
thru these things that, unless
some action was taken at once to
obtain cars and fight the propos-
ed freight increase the entire
Valley would suffer a financial
loss almost beyond calculation.

Deserved Compliment

E-N ADVOCATING the i'm
provement of the parking
strips in its town, the Toppenish
Review in q recent issue paid the
following compliment to Kenne-
wick:
Zone needs only to visit a town
like Kennewick with abundant
shade and well-kept streets and
improved parking strips and
then drop into another town of
unshaded streets, parched and
weedy streets and vacant lots
grown up to unsightly weeds to
decide which he would prefer,
other things being equal, in case
he were looking for a location.
ga city beautiful is the best
of advertising for any town. It
means an added cash value to .ev-
cry foot of property, to say
nothing of the esthetic value
which cannot be measured"

Building and Lot to Max

100000.

The purchase of the four story
building at the northwest corner of
Tenth and F streets northwest,
yesterday, by Max and Louis Rich,
owners of the shoe store which has
occupied the building for many
years. Is believed to be one of the
record bargains of the eyar in
Washington real estate.
The consideration Is understood
to be slightly in excess of 500, 900,
although the exact price was
withheld. Many conservative realty
men have estimated the value of the
property during the last few years
as being worth between 100000
and s250,00o.
The building was the property of
the late Augustus p. Gardner,
former Representative from Mas
sachusetts. who met his death from
sickness in an army training camp.
The sale was consummated for the
estate by George p. Gardner and
George p. Gardner, jr.. trustees.
Details for the trustees were han

VALUES DOUBLE
IN 12 MONTHS

A 100 per cent increase in values
In the past twelve months.
That is the amazing record of
Washington real estate. In any
other locality in the country such
an astonishing performance would
be distrustfulIy classified as a
boom" But booms are construct
ed of heated atmosphere and wild
hopes, whereas the increase here is
based on present needs and future
developments.
Actual insufficient housing condi-
tions, a permanent population and
assured normal increase-these are
the three facts which tell why the
dramatic rise of property prices
here is an inevitable and perma-
nent state of affairs and not a
Doom"
Proof Of the stability of present
values is shown in the recent big
sales for investment to buyers of
judgment. The past month has
witnessed some of the largest
property transfers in local history.
And real estate sales are increas-
ing daily.
Washington real estate offers a
unique opportunity for investment
