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.

nessed by a record-breaking crowd.
The Olympic club of San Francisco,

ors. Last year the Olympic club team
of four men composed of Glarner,
Cheek, Gerhardt and Gilmore won the

The Best'Alarm Clock.
If you have use for an alarm
clock to wake you up these
spring mornings, then you

the knowledge of clocks Is un
known. When you buy a clock
from us you know that if any
thing goes wrong we are ready
to make good with the proper
repairs.
All alarm clocks guaranteed
and cost from $1.00 to $2.50.

Model Husband Must Swear and Be
Able to Buy .Meal Ticket.
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.

The athletes who will participate are

tomorrow's meet will doubtless be
marked by enthusiastic and clamor
ous demonstrations on the part of the
spectators.

Dunkard famlles of western Penn

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.
For years this section of the Yakima
valley has been more of a stock rais
ing and dairy community than It has
been a fruit section. With the ad
vent of hundreds of homeseekers to
the Yakima valley Naches ranchers
have gradually sold off their large
holdings to persons Intending to raise
fruit.
The old Pennsylvania Dutch Dunk-
ars recommended "Hickory Bark
Cough Remedy." Guaranteed to cure
your cough, and guaranteed to be
pure. Made from the bark of the
shell br.rk or white hickory tree. For

by a large margin
Suspicion pointed strongly at the
time to the proprietor of the hotel,
near which the alleged murder took
place. Long and sensational trials
followed, but no one was ever con
victed of the crime. The proprietor
was soon after Incarcerated In the
insane asylum.
