The tore part of the week was too cc to Ire favorable for rapid growth of v> gelation, but the latter part of th week ending June 2. The rainfall of the week was abundant and sufficient throughout the state, except in the central portion, embracing the coun ties of Douglas. Adams.. Yakima and Klickitat. In these th.' rain was only in the form of scant showers, which did little or no good. In Adams and Douglas counties there must be more rain soon, or else the wheat crop will not be a success. In Lincoln and Whitman counties the winter wheat is improving, and spring wheat and oats are doing well. The stand, is reported as rather light. The character of the wheat crop is epiite "spotted." or uneven. Some fields or parts of them are very good, others very poor. The reports from Spokane.

THE EVENING STATESMAN, WEDNESDAY, JUNE 3, 1903. PACIFIC NORTHWEST NEWS GIANT SKELETON IN ALASKA. W. M. Alberti En Route North to Ex cavate Find. Seattle.—William M. AJrbertL of New York, who is interested in min ing on Pennell creek, north of Nome, has arrived in the city and is lO Alaska to have excavated the re mains of an Elephas pai migenius, or a species of the giant mammoth many ;housand.a of years extinct. He ;s commissioned to prepare tiie skeleton for shipment by the Smithsonian in stitution at Washington. The frame of this, the largest of the Known mammoths which once roamed at will in North America and other paits cf the world, lies embedded in a gray.d hank on Hanum river, a tributary to the [mnetchuch river, not far from Nome. It was discovered last year by some miners, and reported to .Mr. Alberti. While he was east, dur ing the winter, he reported the find to the Smithsonian institution, and received his commission to have thc skeletoii shipped out, with the view of putting the members together and exhibiting the whole at the Si. Louis fair. When Mr. Alberti left the north, last fall, the specimen was in perfect condition, with not a bone or tifsk missing. Since his arrival in Seattle he has been informed by persons who left the district after him that vandals have dug out one of the tusks, which measured eighi feet in length, and that the skull has been broken in and sonic teeth extracted. While regretting this very much. Mr. Alberti will' nevertheless go to the spot, and unless the specimen has been destroyed he will remove it and try to secure from the persons taking rhe parts their return. In an inter view, Mr. Alberti s'.'id: "I regretted very much to barn that some persons hail broken into the specimen. When I left the district, last year. I gave special instructions that it should no; be touched. "The frame lies in the side of a gravel bank. The rains have wash) d away the dirt which, for thousands of years, has been covering it. and the i ilis. skull, tusks and oilier pans were bare and in perfect condition. It was as good a specimen as was ever found or any extinct animal. "The part of the skeleton exposed is as large as an ordinary house. When I explained at the Smithsonian institution what 1 had tiie professors were very anxious to have it brought out intact and exhibited at St. Louis. I was given instructions as to how best to get it out and. how to label the different parts, so that there would be no trouble in putting them together. "This is the first specimen of the Elephas pai magenius ever found in America. Some years ago. there was a perfect specimen found in Russia. In life it had been overtaken in a snowstorm anil was frozen stiff. For thousands of years if remained in the. he. until a change in the climatic con ditions brought about a thaw and it v. ts exposed. This is the only whole one that has ever been found in the world. "Ten years ago there was a part of a frame found i,i Colorado. The in-j stitution sent out a party to excavate, it and bring it to Washington, but be- fore the party arrived vandals destroy ed its beauty, and while it was taken out there were many parts missing. "1 am in hopes I shall be able to get the tusk ami teeth from the per sons who took them 1 and if this is pos sible little harm will have been done." State of Ohio.

All the church proper ty presents a fine appearance, the buildings having been largely re modeled and improved, while the grounds are well kept. The Catholic charge here is ac counted one of the most difficult owing to the heterogeneousness of its nationalities and to the large vari anc, in the languages spoken by the parishioners. In overcoming this obstacle, Rev. Amschwand has been singularly successful, and his aehdev ments in this line are directly attrib utable to his proficiency as a linguist. The departing priest, who is an enthusiastic believer in American methods, will visit points of interest in this country before sailing, and es pecially will make a study of the workings of the various government bureaus at Washington for the pur pose of securing data for a series of lectures on American institutions he contemplates delivering in foreign tongues in the various countries of Europe through which his route lies. His 'our will end with a journey to Rome and the Holy Land, his return being expected. in September.

Waite, Fugitive From Manila, Finally Captured. Seattle.—Deputy United State.- Mar shal John Stringer has arrived in Se attle having under arrest Ed L. Waite. who is wanted in Manila for embez zlement. Waite left Manila .May i. taking with him. it is alleged. $9000 of the money of Col Newberry's bank, of which he was cashier. He was traced from the Philippines to Hongkong where he boarded tin- steamship Tar tar for Vancouver. B. C. and the au thorities at Washington were notified. Deputy Stringer went to Victoria to meet the boat Friday, and went on board, pretending to be an immigra tion inspector. He spotted his man all right, and officer and suspect both remained on the vessel until Vancou ver was reached. Waite left the ship there, and Mr. Stringer shadowed him, determined to arrest him the moment he set foot, on American soil. Waite got away from him for a time Saturday, hut Mr. Stringer watched all departing hoars and trains, and was finally rewarded Saturday night hy seeing his man step on board the Canadian Pacific train, bound for Seattle. It was supposed that the fugitive would start at once for th,- Atlantic coast, and Mr. Stringer was prepared to go on with him and arrest him asi soon as he entered the United States. When he saw his man get on the train bound for Seattle, however. Mr. Stringer's task was greatly simplified. The officer boarded tiie baggage car. while the suspected man rode in the sleeper. As soon as the international boundary Line was crossed, however. Mr. Stringer went back to the sleeper, and. touching his man on the shoulder informed him that he was under ar rest. Waiti is a tall young man of fine appearance, and he put on a bold from ami an injured air for a little while, but the determined air and business like tone of the officer soon convinced less, so he admitted that his name was Waite and thai lie had just come from Manila. In fact, th prisoner admits every thing except that he took the money. II says ..e worked in a bank in Ma nila and left there May 2. but he de nies most emphatically that he i.- an embezzler. Deputy Stringer thinks there can be no doubt of the identity of tiie man. and that he is the man wanted. He answers the description perfectly, and the fact that he was traced up to thej time of getting on the Tartar at Hong kong, and the further fact that he saw him himself on board the boat, he thinks makes the chain complete.

Sta- j tioned outside on the steps as exposi-j tor tin secretary addresses a plea to the mass* s. begging them to restrain their impatience lest they disturb the sumptuous feast of their masters. If tiie> secretary's generous proposition should be i put so bluntly. Those who have en tertained doubts of the exact purport of republican prosperity will be set at rest by the secretary's frank ex planation: "It is th i prosperity of pro ductive enterprises created by the Dingle y law." Till-: POSTAL SCANDALS. The lull U'.xx of Mr. Tulloch's charges of frauds in the postoffice de partment put a vastly different face on that affair. Tulloch was once cash ier of the Washington postoffice and (when his rather indefinite statement of irregularities was first made public j there was a good deal of inclination jto dismiss them as the ravings of a I disappointed man. The light and airy way with which the postmaster '.general brushed them aside strength ened this'impression, for his demand. 1 for particulars was reasonable but disregarded. Now that the particulars (have been given, however, they carry with them a force which commands \at least decent consideration. The frauds of which Mr. Tulloch complains began almost simultaneous ly with the induction of Perry S. Heath into the office of first assistant pest master general. The first break was the presentation of a warrant for a considerable sum of money for trav eling expenses for Mr. Heath. The cashier protested that the precedents were against the allowance of such charges and Mr. Heath's reply was that "this is a new administration and a new crowd and we will make our own precedents." Under the cir cumstances the warrant was paid and I soon afterward the protesting cashier was discharged. Meantime, however, TTT*"I Coinmissiou Co.

Postmaster General Payne con tinues to treat the charges as of no consequence, but he will find the pub lic of a vastly different mind on the subject. No man could invent charges and support them with so perfect a chain of evidence. Heath was a protege of Senator Hanna and introduced into the service Rathbone and Needy who were subsequently convicted of postal crimes in Cuba. Heath, himself, was obliged to resign later on. and though the reasons were never revealed, it may be presumed that he was forced out in order to pre vent 'he exposure of his corrupt op erations. Under the circumstances if the postmaster general is wise he will make an investigation and quit back talk. GOOD FROM EVIL. I Corruption in public office is a par asite of municipal prosperity. With out money there could be no boodle. llt is a characteristic trait of all large 'and glowing American cities. The municipality that has not been vic timized by franchise grabbers and j venal public officials has no claim to pre-eminence. Franchises arc sought and bought only where they are valu able. New York. Philadelphia, Chicago. St. bonis. Pittsburg, Cincinnati, Louis ville. Columbus. Minneapolis and ten more of the principal cities have suf i fered and prospered by the- acts of the purchasers of special privileges. Each I has had its scandal, great and small. Even Boston has paid dearly for its public-service advantages, and has closed its eyes to lavish extravagan ce- in public work. Walla Walla also has had its franchise grabbers. The reign of boodle and spoils, as i joint, masters of municipal govern* i ment and elections, has reached the period of decline, although they will [always be ready to grasp every little I opportunity for illic it gain. Expo sures have taught the common people that corruption is not essential to j progress, and that it can be prevent ed, to the benefit of all. by readjusting I governmental systems and elec ting trustworthy men lo office. Explanations could be given of the j injection of c riminal methods into municipal affairs in this country. The form of municipal government was new; the country and the c ities were growing marveldusly fast. Railroads, [railways and other public-service jconcerns were necessary; franchises were valuable; people were Inex perienced; municipal systems were frail: franchise-seekers were shrewd land unscrupulous: public official's were j money-mad and daring. As a result l bribery and debauchery he ld carnival I wherever progress spread.

These corrupt practices have shown the weaknesess in no uncertain way and. at the same time, have suggested means for improvement. Boodle in quisitions will probably do the most good in accomplishing two reforms— reform in governmental systems and reform in electing the right men to office. The errors and crimes will make possible a better and more ef fective form of government, a system and a practice adapted to American republican principles. NEW LINER COMING.

GRASS VERY SHORT Upper Mill Creek Ranges This Year Are Poor VIEWS OF A BIG STOCKMAN H. H. Augustavo, of Augustavo Bros. Returns From Trip Into the Range Country and Tells of Conditions. Grass on the ranges along upper Mill creek is shorter than it has been for ye,.is, according to stockmen who run th- ir cattle in that section. Henry August a vo, of Augustavo Brothers and buyer for the firm, returned a few days ago from the headquarters of the- stream, where 500 of the firms' cattle are grazing this summer. "The backward spring is responsi ble for the shortness of feed this spring and the indications are it will be a poor grass year all through," he said this morning. "Generally sum mer range on the upper creek is ex cellent but this year it is way short and hardly capable of supporting any great number of cattle. About one thousand head are now on the range, of which nearly 500 belong to our firm." Mr. Augustavo is authority for the statement that a mysterious w 1 of some kind, supposed to be wild pars ley has caused the death of quite number of cattle in that district this spring. His firm has lost ten head so far and other stock men have lost no inconsiderable number. OLD TWINS HALE AND HEARTY. Winsted, Conn..

After going over the country thoroughly and investing large sums of money in Dawson, wb >re he still ha.- interests which are looked after by his son, M. de Lobel returned to France, where he made his report t" the European members of the corpor at ion. The Czar Is Interested. At the Tim,- he visited Russia the '•/.ar was interested in the project and appointed a commission to look into and report on the concessions de manded for the construction of the Siberian end of the line. This report has just been made to his majesty and is followed hy tin- announcement from Paris by M. de Lobel that he has raised $10,000,000 of the funds neces sary in Prance. English capitalists have raised almost an equal sum. and the American end. it is said, will be ready when the time comes to he gin the work of construction. The name of the corporation is the Transalaska-Siherian Railway com pany. Its building not only means the operation of solid trains from New York to Paris, hut also from Chicago to Berlin, St. Louis to Vienna, from Seattle to Peking and from almost any one point to any other point in the two hemispheres. The line seeks a route through the United States, which will probably he in the nature of a traffic agreement with one or more of the American roads from New York to Seattle. From here it is the intention to go to Van couver: thence the construction of a line to Dawson will he th.' first work. The project then carries the proposed road down tiie Yukon through Circle City to some point on the western coast of Northwestern Alaska, prob ably near Nome. The distance across the Bering strait is thirty-seven miles at hs nar rowest point, and lying within this distance there are two islands. It is die project to construct two tunnels under Behring sea to the eastern coast of Siberia. From the !>oint of its landing a line is to he constructed to join the Trans-Siberian line, over which a traffic agreement will he had to Moscow, St. Petersburg, Merlin and Paris. Route Already Exploited. Tiie project is not mythical, for al ready much money has been expended hy the incorporators of the company in exploring the route and in send ing the commission to Russia to ar range for the concessions. 1 Ail the time this has been going on. Capt. Healy. who is at the present time in Chicago, is looking after the American interests of the road, and it is; said has secured the assistance of John D.

And the.occurrence certainly creditable to the king.—N York Times.
