Krr.est S. (Dud) Wolgamott, thrice
convicted for violation of t lie prohi
Vtlon laws, th last time last Satur
day, on an Indictment charging pos
session of Intoxicating liquor, wan
sentenced this morning by Judge I'".
M. Calkins In tlio circuit court, to
ccrvo two yeara In the county jail at
hard labor, and was also assessed the
coit of action. The Bentence Is the
extreme penalty for the offense.
The court granted the defeiidany
to days, in whicli to me a motion tor
n new trial, and upon recommenda
tion of District Attorney Itawlcs
Moore, the hall was raised from $1,
000 to $2,000. Fifteen days were
granted in which to secure sume.
Wolgamott has hall of $1,000 stand
ing on an appeal to the supreme
court. ,
Attorney Oeorgo M. Roberta, speak
irs In behalf of the defendant, main
tained that the prohibition laws were
r.mblguous, and that the provision
meant to apply the extreino penalty
for three convictions for the samo
cnctlim of the law, instead of three
convictions for separate sections. DIs
tr'ct Attorney Kawles Moore contest
ed the contentions at koine length,
whereupon Attorney Koborts declared
that the "remarks of the district at
torney clinch my own argument."
Tho court ruled that the law re
ferred to various violations instead of
specific, and then passed sentence.
Relative to the plea of the defend
ant against the raising of the bond,
the court said "tho bail was fixed at
$3,000 In the Hall caso, and It is no
more than fair that It should be the
same amount in this."
Though no deflnito decision has
been reached, It Is probable than an
appeal will ho taken from tho latest
ruling.

Fruit thinning demonstrations will
be given by Pror. Long of O. A. C, and
the county agent on June Tth and 8th
in the orchards listed, below.
It has been demonstrated many
times In the past that the fruit that
brings the good money is the good big
stuff. And proper thinning of. both
pears and apples is lniiortant if large
size fruit is to be obtained. While
apple thinning is universally practiced
in the valley there is a viral difference
in the amount of thinning that Is done
by the different . orchardists. Some
experiments have been carried on in
the past which throw some light on
this subject, and these figures will be
available at the demonstration.
Pear thinning is not generally prac
ticed in the valley, but there are some
varieties that will pay well to thin.
Most of the work at these demonstra
tions will be on the Winter Nells, but
Boine work will be done on llartletts.
Tho first demonstration will bo held
on Wednesday, June Tth, at 2 p. m. at
tho Hear Creek orchards. v
The second on Thursday, Jttno 8th
at 10 a. m. at Carpenter llros. orchard.
This will be mostly on Uartlett pears.
Third on Thursday, June 8th nt 2
p. m. at Coj. Voorhies orchard. Work
will bo given on Wlntor Neils and
some other varieties.

HEAVY DAMAGES
ARE AWARDED IN
WAI.LA WALLA; Wash., June B. -Itesp
indents in the nial of claims
against tile Kunnewick irrigation dis
trict for damagcH alleged to have
been sustained from tlio work of the
district were awarded $4S,100 in a
Jury decision rendered into Saturday
night In the superior court of this
county. The nwarrt Is "the biggest of
Its kind made hero- In years. The
trial was tho result of the action of

dam In the Yakima river at Prosser
which had formerly been used for
water power and other purposes and
diverting t through a canal for seve
ral miles, later turning part of it
back Into the river and using tho re
mainder for irrigation.
Tills caused the Pacific Power and
Light company and a number of pri
vate pnrtles to the caso severe dam
age. It was alleged. The' caso was
brought hero for trial because of the
unusual Interest in HenCon county,
which was thought to render n fair
trial difficult to procure.

Interesting Picture nt Ulalto.
The new picture "His Pack Against
the Wall," which was shown at the
Jtlalto theatre yesterday, is a delight-
iui variation or tho outworn western
Ntrong-mun melodrama. In stead of
a hero, who can split n table with a
punch, we find a little tailor's helper,
driven from Iris own 'set' In tho East
acclaimed a hero by his new Western
companions. Inadvertently, ho has
witnessed tho killing of two desper
adoes in the desert. Too terrified to
move, he is discovered by the sheriff
and lauded to the community for his
bravery. . .
In this situation, with his back
against the wall, the little hero has to
live up to his reputation. ..To compli
cate matters, he falls in love with the
most sought-after girl In the country
urhd knows that his love is returned,
liventually, lie Is forced to perform
one ! heroic act, ,,nnd this . forever
makes it impossible to deny his he
roic, qualities.
Only n deep-dyed dyspeptic could
fall to be amused by It.
"I Do!" HltH High Mark. !
Only a wooden Indian , could sit
through Harold Lloyd's newest com
edy, "J Do!" nnd not double up with
laughter. Audiences nt tho Page
thentre, where it will bo shown to
night, last time:., stnrted laughing nt
the very beginning, which shows
Lloyd as a young man In love cross
ing n busy street, his mind evidently
upon the fair maiden for whom he
has just purchased flowers.
They shouted when, n year after
Lloyd nnd Mildred Davis had stood
before the altar, nnd snld, "I Do!"
they were seen wheeling a baby car
riage down the avenue, nnd the car
riage was found to contain- It's too
good to tell!
"I Do!" Is Harold TJoyd nt his
best, which Is making n broad state
ment In view of tho ninny good
comedies he hag made. Itshlgh qual
ity, Its cleverness nnd .wholesomeness
augurs well for his future comedies.
Thomas Mclghan Coming to Page.
Does wealth mean happiness. This
question is answered In Thomas Mei
ghan's new picture. "A Prince There
Was," from the George M. Cohnn
success, which will be seen nt the
Page theater beginning tomorrow
matinee. In this picture the star
plays the role of. a wealthy, but un
happy young man who believes in
toxication to be tho only balm for his
fretfulncss. Put when he falls In
love, finds a motive tn life, hys the
prince and finds real contentment,
after a story that Is rich In romance,
dramatic flavor nnd human emotion.
