They Arc Actlns? on Leal Advice to Get "What They Assert Are Tlielr Rights. OL.YMPIA, "Wash., April IS. The dirts ion of sentiment between the Washing ton Pan-American Commission and the members of the board of women mana gers, which began at Tacoma last Sun day, has not been healed by any means, and the women, under legal advice, have liegun to assert what they eay are their rights. Mrs. S. E. Barr, of this city, and Mrs. M. Xi. Hidden, of "Vancouver, to day filed with the State Auditor a peti tion praying that official to notify Ex ecutive , Commissioner Moore to audit their anticipated expense account, a copy of 'which they appended to the petition. The Auditor will ask the Attorney-General for an opinion as to "what shall be done In the premises, but Judging from an opinion -given today by the Attorney General'is office, the plaintiffs are not likely io be successful. The Attorney General holds that while under the law the women -are entitled to their expenses, their bills must le audited by the com mission before the Auditor can issue the necessary warrants. Since the commis sion has Tefused to recognize the women It 3s hardly probable that eny bills they may contract will be audited. Included in tfi.e petition to the Auditor is an estimate of "what the women say they should be allowed $4000, $2500 for personal ex penses, and ?1EOO for an exhibit and ex penses of transportation. It Ie under stood the Auditor is In sympathy with the Ideas ield by Mrs. Barr end Mrs. Hidden. WILL STUB' YAKIMA SOILS. Government -Official Making Ready for -the '"Work.

Ardern, of one of the mining companies of Daw son, came to the city this morning on his way to London, England. To -a represen tative of the Associated Press Mr. Ardern said that the clean-up this year In the Dawson camp would, from a conservative estimate, amount to $30.0GO.OO0, making It the biggest output in the history of the Klondike. Mr. Ardern has an extensive experience in the Klondike, and says that the new strike in Eldorado below the level of the old bedrock is not In the least exagger ated. He Is taking to London samples of the quartz from the ledge lately struck in the country rock and which runs from Victoria Gulch, on Bonanza, to Eldorado. This quartz, which is said to be fabulous ly rich In free-milling gold, Mr. Ardern thinks will raise the Dawson camp a great deal in the estimation of the financial cen ters of the world, and he says will estab lish the faot that the Northern gold fields are only in their infancy as producers of the precious metal.

Con siderable complaint Is heard here among bicyclists regarding the action of the City Council in ordelrng the repairs be ing made to the walks in the city to be paid for out of the bicycle tax fund. The grounds of objection are that the bicycle fund is created from the tax paid by bicyclists; and is paid for the express purpose of building and maintaining bi cycle paths throughout the county; that the Council has no right to use the money so derived for any other pur pose. The Councllmen argue on the oth er hand that the expenditure of the money in the bicycle fund is entirely within the discretion of the Council; that the work being done in the City Park is for the direct benefit of bicyclists as well as pedestrians, and that conse quently no one should object to the bicy cle tax funds being used for that pur pose.

H. Johnson, has Insti tuted a thorough search for him and has followed up two or three clues only to come to the conclusion that none of them have any foundation In fact. Mr. Johnson Is 67 years old, an old soldier, and somewhat feeble, although quite active for a man of his age. His dis appearance Is very mysterious, and no plausible theory can be advanced to ac count for it, ' BIG CROPS QUITE SURE OUTLOOK IN WILLAMETTE VALLEY ' "WAS NEVER BETTER, Frnitmcn Count on a Banner Year Hops Are Thriving and Grain Is Making a Fine Growth, SALEM, April 19. The prospect for a good crop of every kind of agricultural and horticultural products was never better in the Willamette Valley than at the present time. The season has been remarkably favorable for all grain crops, and wheat promises better than ever be fore. The farmers were able to get their work done at the proper season, and the grain has an excellent start. Charles L. Dalley, ex-Comm'ssloner of Horticulture for this district, and proprie tor of several orchards in the Red Hills county, says that from the present out look the fruit this fall will be the largest and best In the history of Western Ore gon. The fruit trees look clean and bright; they have put out their blossoms during the clear, bright weather, and there Is every opportunity for the fruit to set well. Apples, cherries and other tree fruits are making as good a showing as are prunes, which In point of com mercial importance constitute Oregon's greatest fruit crop. Small berries alBO give evidence of passing the Winter well and of yielding a bounteous crop this season. Josiah West, the Clatsop dairyman who owns a prune orchard in Polk county, re cently made a close examination of his fruit trees, and says he does not see how he can fail to have the largest crop on record. The roots of his trees are free from borers, and the trunks and limbs show no blemishes of any kind. The fruit buds give every Indication of healthy, vigorous condition, Ttfr. West attributes this absence of borers to tho treatment ho gave his trees two years ago. He dug the soil away from tho base of the tree and put a coating of plaster compound all around, the trees, thus keeping out the worms, Hop vines are making a good, strong growth and nowhere In there heard a complaint of missing hills. Cultivation has been thorough, thus assuring a con tinuation of the excellent beginning. Pasturage Is good this spring, and all hay crops have made as good a start as have the grain crops. A season of plenty this year means much to Western Oregon. It has always been the boast of Oregon that crop fail ures are unknown. Yet two years ago there was a short prune crop and last year a poor wheat crop. Farmers have been somewhat discouraged, and the outlook for Immigration has not been what might be desired. Bqt if the pres ent season shall bring forth an abund ance of all kinds of farm products, It will be convincingly shown that the un favorable season was an exception, and not an indication that agricultural in dustries are on the decline. A bounte ous crop, even at average prices, will put 'the farmers on a good financial foot ing and will do more than anything else to attract Immigrants to this state. Wil lamette Valley farmers are now In a prosperous condition, but the grain farm ers this year are not In a position to make many Improvements on their farms. A good crop will leave most of them with a balance to their credit, enabling them to make many permanent Improve ments, New Creamery About Completed. SALEM, April 19 The Crystal Ice Com pany today Installed n Its new creamery a 300-galIon churn, and will be ready for business the first of next week.
