Call or write to C. M. & G. G. Stnskland and K. J. Stackland, Cove, Ore. a proposition to Increase the capitali zation of the concern from $250,000 to $750,000 will be voted upon. The cost of the land, of the con struction of the Immense power canal and the erection of the pumping ma chinery and other work of the com pany has been more than $500,000 up to date anil It Is more than probable that the extension of the scope of the project Is planned. Among visitors to Hanford last week were Samuel Hill, W. J. Hlll goss, of St. Paul, one of Hill's chief land appraisers., and N. W. Miller, chief construction engineer of the North Bank railroad, and each of them spent several days going over the territory to he watered and in specting the plant. There Is no doubt that Hill Intends at nn early date to build a branch of the North Bank road from P.xsco via the Columbia to a point of Junction with the Groat Northern system, and this would give the easy grade road down the river to Vancouver the chance to handle economically practi cally all of the heavy freight destined for tidewater originating In the state of Washington. Incidentally, the road would pass through White Bluffs, Hanford and the growing settlements all along the Columbia to Wenatchee. BIG TRACK MEET. Ifcst Athletes on the Owst Will Con test at Portland.

As the athletic feature of this week's big rose carni val, the meet will probably be wiN nessed by a record-breaking crowd. The Olympic club of San Francisco, has again sent a team north and hopes to gather In a goodly share of hon ors.

An Omaha paper asked Its unmar ried women' readers the following question: "If you were to exercise your leap year privilege what kind of a man would you propose to?" The prize offered for the best answer went to Miss Myrtle Bascom of 339 La Salle street. Chicago. Here are some of the qualifications of Miss Bascom's Ideal man: He must be a good meal ticket pro vider. He must be able to swear when the occasion demands It. He must not stay out too many nights in the week. Rut ho would not be forced to tell where he had been. He must be old enough to know what life Is. He can't learn this too young. He must have a face that will at tract dogs and babies. Beauty Is no object. He mu.it have Just enough money to know where the next meal Is coming from, and not enough so that he can live without working. He must be an American and a gentleman. Foreign noblemen and Americans of the Thaw class need not apply. Miss Bascom does not think that beauty should enter Into a marriage contract. It Is all the same whatever tliV- parties look like If they are suited with each other, she says. Western Athletic Meet. Chicago, June 5.

The athletes who will participate are beginning to pour Into the city to day, and as many teams are accom panied by large crowds of "rooters," tomorrow's meet will doubtless be marked by enthusiastic and clamor ous demonstrations on the part of the spectators.

MURDER MYSTERY REVIVED. Pinal Account Filed In Estate of Man Killed 22 Years Ago. The Willis Skiff murder at North Powder, 22 years ago, was brought vividly to mind this week, when Mc Allster filed the final account In the Skiff estate, with the county clerk of Union county, says the Baker City Democrat. The action has started pioneers gossiping about the suppos ed murder at that time. Dates con flict slightly, but nevertheless, the fact that Willis Skiff disappeared in the year 1886 and that a body, iden tified later to be his, was found in the North Powder river the follow ing year, Is well known. History and pioneers say that Skiff was murdered on the steps of a North Powder hotel In 1886. The fol lowing year a body was found In the North Powder river and Identified as that of Skiff. Others refused to be lieve this and say that Skiff Is alive or at least lived after the finding of the body. In any event, 14 years ago saw administration of the per sonal property In the courts of Union county. From that day to this the courts have not dealt with the Skiff estate. The final account as filed today spec ifies that although the estate Inven toried at 9240, has badly depreclat- getting his title from the government. He has operated the place for hay and dairy purposes. Large Hunches Being Cut Up. The Wilder property has never be fore been on the market. It is one of the many large ranches of the Naches valley that are being set to orchard.
