Partert waather. a splendid crowd and
nacnttetnt roads all combined to ma Its
the excursion of »he Queen City Good
Roads Club for the benefit of the Lake
Washington bicycle path to Tacoma ye*-
t- rday o.ie of the most rfjoyable event • tn
the history of cydsr.g H tt# PacliVa North
west. It la calculated that sl"*' or Jl.;» wiil
1* realised to help the T*ahe Washington
path toward completion.

sixty. They joined hands in the < ity of
I>*stiny. fraternised and returned hom*
at night gl*d that theft was such a tftla*
as the bicycle and convinced that th<*
of the Sound country are bound
together by good fellowship and a deter
mination to fort* th<- Settle until West
ern Washington can hold up her bead and
mnj: "We have good roads."
One of the moat pleasing feature* of the
day waa the numier of ladies who took
the trip. Fully one-third of the plei« ire
seekers were of the gentler *«x. 1 h>*y
enjoyed the exhilarating ride over the
prairie, and their preit/ costume* ad led
s oh arm to the grand panorama difficult
of description. There were no accidents
of moment, and the day pwed away
filled sut with pleasures long to lx r< -
n.em s rcd Th<* kodak tier.d was pr» *ent
In all his glory, and If a composite picture
w.is obtained irf all the pictures taken it
would he a strange cor.iclomemtlon.
The Seattle wheelmen were astir early
yesterilay morning. They had h«-en look
ing forward :n the day with aonwthlng
of the anticipation of the small b«»y for
the arrival <>f the big elephant Wheel*
were carefully groomed and gotten Into
|x*ffeet order for the run to American
lake A* the hour for the departure of
the Ftyer drew near, there waa a hasty
gathering at the do k. Men women and
t-mall boy*, with their vsrl. «ated wheel*,
mingled together, m. klng a picture tha'
ws* pleasing to the eye.. The crow.!
kwoopt'd down upon the trim and sw.ft
jrt«amer. covering her decks like a swarm
of bees. Wheels, wheel*, wheels—they
were everywhere.
The see re was one of color and spirit.
Everybody w.i* ready to laugh at a witty
saying or talk about the goodness of the
weather maker, Then the steamer irllded
sway from the dock and sped swiftly on
hf r way try Tacoma It was a beautiful
trip up the Sound to Tacoma. and put
the riders In the proper mood to enjoy the
ride over Tacoma's smooth road*. When
the steamer arrived a« Tacoma there
w.»a .< bIK detection of wheelmen and
women waiting to receive the visitor*
The crowd piled off the boat and was
escorted to the corner of Tacoma avenue
and Ninth avenue, from which point the
ride out to the lake commenced. In pass
ing It might be said that Tacoma avenue
Is a street that cause* n pang of jealousy
In the heart* of Seattle riders when they
look up and down ll* smooth, even sur
face. It wa* In perfect condition, hav
-Ins been carefully cleaned for the occa
sion.
At h Conservative calculation there were
wheelmen and women assembled.
Many of the Tacoma people had already
gone out to the lake to receive the riders
ss they arrived from the city There was
no attempt at forming a proeo**lon. In
fact, this was avoided Many went by
the way of the Ftellacoom asylum road,
others by the Roy route, while others took
♦he direct road to the lake. Some of the
adventurous spirits took the long trip to
Olympla and back.
Out at the lake the scene deficit de
scription Little parties broke away from
the crowd and tiv>k runs across the broad
and level prairie There are paths in all
direction*, and the Tacmna cyclists were
very attentive and furnished guide* to
all squads that were of an exploring turn
of mind
Percy Sinclair, chief consul of the L.
A W., entertained the officers and oth
er* of the Good Roads Club at the Coun
try Club, other member* of the Coun
try Club did likewise with th«ir friends.
The Country Club Is spoken of as a beau
tiful place, with green lawns and mag
nificent tries. After a day of unalloyed
pleasure the crowd Journeyed hack to Ta
«-oma and the Scattlelte* t.wik the 7:10
©'clock Flyer back to their home.
The wheels w» re carefully looked after
on the steamer, and there was little con
fusion In straightening things out at the
end of the trip As the wheelmen s-n i
rated at the dock thev united In saying
that the day had b<>n pleasantly spent
and that Ihe Tacoma people had been
royal hosts.

get hack to the city for something to *»*■
They came In such crowds as to entirely

Before 1 o'clock everything in the way of

There was no set programme and no or

The American wheelman is amply capable
of taking care of himself in any country,
and atfieti th*- Queen City people had got
ten a fair start to American lake they did
not kit anything good net by them The
r«-»taur«i*t* down town did a rushing
business during the latter part of the af
ternoon.
Aiifle from the lack of food at the lake,
the day was without a Single unfortunate
Incident. Of course th«*re wa* the u.«ual
number of punctures and smashupa, but
no one wa.« hurt. Once there was a scene
on the road south of Edison. Som** one
In the line of bikers had been spilled and
the next man went the same way. For
several minutes those following came to
grief, but in a IKtle while the track was
c <-: i red and th« prtx-ession wended its way
without further incfelent. No one was hurt
in the melee.
The members of the Queen City Good
Kctd* < lub are more than pleaaed with
the result* of the excursion. The Flyer
management gave the services of the
steamer at just about what It i ost to make
the trip and return. The wheel* were car
ried without accident, which reflects no
little credit on those who were responsible
for them.
The members of the Good Roads Club
were distinguished by the blue ribbon they
wore. Many wore the purple of the L. A.
W , on Which were printed the words:
' Heattle-Tacoma excursion—L. A. W."
Many of the visitors spent the afternoon
at ih* lake, where the surroundings were
moat picturesque. 4 nose who did not care
to stop long at the laac mounted their
wi.cei* after a shcrt rest and took the road
leading to Steiiacoom. returning to the
city by the northern route.
The prairies south of the city, extending
over a large area, constitute a natural
piirk of great beauty, which is at its l>est
in April and May.
"This excursion will britig the people of
Tacoma and Seattle ciosw-r together," de
clared one of the yueen City men this
evening. I We appreciate the treatment
we have had and will return It when th«;

Every vessel in the I'nited States navy
has In its between decks mess *ome sort
of an animal that is a universal i>et. Such
a pet need not necessarily be of the kinl
known as "domestic animals" although
in the evolution from its natural state
to that of the ship's pet, domestication
is *ur>- to follow. When the Altmtross
went north on her last cruise the jackeys
had a young pig trained up to the stand
ard of those queer beasts that are ex
hibited as "learned pigs." and many ships
have gnats, dogs, cats and sheep that
are the source of gre.it companionship
among the mei». Pigs and sheep are fre
quently destined to fill the needs for
flesh meat on a cruise, and it Is not un
usual for the sailor men to forego the
pleasure* of the table and brave the
ravages of scurvy rather than kill off
the animals that have grown to hold im
portant places in the different watches.
When the Imttieehip Oregon wms at Ae

captured In the hills * young fawn, which
premised steiks of jul<-y venslon on the

decessors the fawn became so tame that
not a man aboard the ship would raise
his hand »g»:nst it. much less kill it. No
sailor heart could withstand the pleading
of Its liquid black eyes. So it was duly

When Dr. J. F. Berry began his address
at the First M K. church last night he
gazed into the faces of an eager, expect
ant throng that filled the building from
gallery to chancel rail. 'Mr. Chairman
and dear young people." he said tn a deep,
rich voice, full of geniality and magnet
ism. "This is the way 1 always begin.
A man's age generally depends on the ace
of his h- art. Th- re are s<»m> who are old
at 25. and some who are young at fln. I
am glad to be able to say, however, that
all ages are welcome in the Epworth
league, where they can find ample op
portunlty for Christian service- In order
to properly appreciate a great man, we
must view him from a distance, some
times for many years. The same is true
of religious, social or political movements.
And therefore it will be necessary to view
thf Epworth league through the mii-ts of
twenty-five or fifty years before we can
fully comprehend its real magnitude. We
are too near to appreciate it now. We are
not quite eight years old. and yet we have
1,500,000 members, scattered all through
the Methodist-Episcopal church. The
league has extended into England. Nor
way, Denmark. India. China. Japan—lt
has encircled the globe in its onward
march of victory."
Briefly referring to tie paints of similar
ity between the Epworth League and
other young peoples organizations, he
fiassed to a discussion of the points of
the league upon which parti< uiar
n~<s placed by Its promoters.
T»enominational loyalty was mentioned
first: "It makes some difference to a
person of my temperament whether 1
have a creed to stand on or not, and I
feel that the Methodist Episcopal church
Is the very best one for my spiritual de
velopment. Therefore I am a Methodist.
I'nt I want the Presbyterian, and the
Baptist and the Protectant Episcopalian
to be true to his denomination. 1 want
every man to he out and out whatever
he u. Denominational loyalty Is the be?t
kind of basis for International fraternity.
I do not believe very much in union. It
generally means for one to come over and
Join the other and that ends the union.
But I believe in unity of spirit and unity
of purpose. This is not bigotry, it is not
narrow denomlnationalism, but it is 'he
providential plan for working out the sal
vation of the world. 1 want the young
people of the Methodist Episcopal fdiurch
to become acquainted with the history,
biography, policy and world-wide activi
ties of the church. It means standing by
the church and the pastor, not because we
feel llk»" it, but lx>cau«e we ought to.
"We also have a positive declaration on
worldly amusements. I always notice th.a
w-hen I touch thts phase of the subject
those who are a little inclined to be
sleepy wake up. All the churches have
struggled with this problem, but the
M»thodist churrh is the only one that has
anything In the rules on the subject. We
have a little more friction along that line
because we are more definite. We say
'Don't play cards.* 'Don't dance,' 'Don't
ittend theaters.' I stand squarely and loy
ally on the discipline of our church and
don't propoee to make an apology for it.
But If in time* past we have f »iled to rec
ognize the need of recreation on the part
of the young people, that time is no more.
The Epworth League has provided a sub
stitute for the 'popular' amusements. We
don't want our boys to be monks or our
girls to become nuns.but we do want them
to have a good time in the right way and
under proper Influence*. The league social
and literary departments provide this re
creation. 1 believe the church of Christ
should dominate the social life of a com
munity and determine what classes of
amusements should be popular. I find
that in mo«t places the social Mfe l* con
trolled by one person usually i woman—
who has one or two little dudes who
dance iround her for helpers, CMrt on such
society leaders!
"The chunah Is misunderstood hy many
people. because wo are so far off from
thorn Ttio league. through the mercy ani
help department, i?* correcting this mis
conception hy going out among the peo
plo and making thom feel that ttie ctiurvh
really loves thom. Wo know niMhlng about
a lower rrwt or Men an uppor crust, hut
we take the cake clear through. There
Is only on« way to reach the masae*—get
nearer to thotn. Resolutions don'* save.
Go* near so they will fool tho touch of
genuine Christ ian sympathy. People want
to ho lovod everybody will know it.
!>>t's disabuse thin, of tho fooling that
the church does not understand them.
Before tho strike, aa a student of
.n> lal questions. I disguised myself and
atten-led some of the meetings hHd for
the purpose of di«.'tßs-«»lng social grlev
anres. 1 n«ver heard those men say one
single word acalnst Jesus Christ, b.rt I
h- »rd them denounce the churches that
had .*i sadly neglected to exhthit Hia
spirit.

Ed a hopeful condition of affairs, and all
the parishoners present manifested the
heartiest desire to assist the rector in the
work o' the parish. A h®arty vote of
thanks was tendered to Mrs. N B White
man for her ser\ j'--s as organist during
the pa«t three months.
The entertainment given last Wednes
day in the parish hall by Mr. Bane was
fairly well attended and exceedingly wll
staged In the two pieces presented. "A
Cup of Tea" and "The /-ast Loaf," the
actors one and al! earned the applause of
the audience, and the hope was greatly
expressed that the same ladies and gen
tlemen would favor t'ie parish hall again
on some future occasion.
Next Wednesday the ladies of Trinity
parish give a sale of work In the parish
hall, afternoon and evening. Refresh
ments are provided %nd an entertainment
will form part of the evening's proceed
ings.
Yesterday morning the rector preached
from CanticW iiiO-U, describinx the plot
and ethical motive of this beautiful Old
Testament drama, and speaking of Na
ture's call to the Resurrection life. In
the evening the subject was "St. Mark."
The rector hopes to start next Sunday
evening for New York to meet Mrs.
Go wen. who sails from Southampton on
May 1 by the St. Louis.
THE OTHER SIDE.
Activity Dlaplayed la the Rellglonn
Work at the V. M. C. 4.
The public hears little cf the religious
work of such an org uiization as the Y.
M C. A. since, for obvious reasons, that
portion of its work does not furnish news
that can he advertised or heralded in the
ne-*-«papers. Since General Sccretarv
Swift assumed his oftke he has pushed
this branch of the work rapidly to th 9
front, and with great success. A series of
addresses have been lately given at the
Sunday afternoon avsp.-l meetings "-y
Rev. H. W. Gilchrist, of Westminster
church, and have attracted a large at
tendance and l>e« n fruitful of gt od results.
In the evangelical work of the associa
tion every active member ar.d many out
siders have been given a part and each
mide to assume his share of the respon
sibility. Mr. Swift hds a remarkable fac
ulty of getting hold of man and putting
them to work, and In no department of
the Y. M. C. A. are his efforts felt more

Miliar Freeman, editor of the Ranehe
and Range. the only publication in the
state of Washington devoted exclusively
to the interests announced in ; ts title, has
been in the city for several days past in
attendance upon the meetings of the Wen
atchee fruit growers, the result of which
is a matter of great importance to the sec
tion of the state from which Mr. Freeman
hails, and in which bis creditable journal
is issued.
Editor Freeman registered himself from
North Yakima, and he is a first-class type
of the hustling young business man thru
has made the central part of this great
commonwealth an important factor in the
commercial world. The Ranche and
Range has only reached its third number
of Its first volume, but it is a promising
youngster, and a liberal advocate of tho*4e
matters that interest the rancher and the
ranger.
Besides being a publisher. Mr. Freeman
is the secretary of the Northwest Fruit
Growers' Association, which covers as its
field of usefulness the states of Washing
ton, Oregon and Idaho and a part of
Rritish Columbia. This association Mr.
Freeman describes as one of great value
to its members, holding as it does annual
meetings at whicn views regarding a prof
itable handling of the fruit growth arc
expressed, and ideas on the subjects of
pests and blights are discussed, with the
manners of destroying the one and pre
venting the other. Its work is of a healthy
nature, stimulating greater effort on the
part of the members of the organization
to produce an attractive article and to
present it to purchasers in a first-class
condition. With this idea th« Northwest
Fruit Growers' Association has adopted
boxes and cases of a standard size and is
using as patterns the manner of packing
used by the most prominent fruit growers
and shippers of California, who have set
the pace for Eastern growers, demonstrat
ing the superiority of boxes over barrels
for handling and display.
Next January the association of which
Mr. Freeman is secretary holds its meet
ing in Portland. It is liberally supported
and has done great good, but has not ta
ken up matters of shipment exclusively.
This. Mr. Freeman thinks, will be an im
portant feature in the organization of the
Wenatchee fruit growers, whose disposi
tion is to arrange their interests so as not
to conflict in matters of shipment. The
scheme to avoid this will appear in the
proposition for an organization that will
be submitted at the next meeting in We
natchee.
Central Washington is flourishing, ac
cording to general report, and .ur. Free
man Indorses the statement. Last year
good prices prevailed in all branches to
which the Central Washington ranchers
and rangers addressed themselves, more
money was made in meats, vegetables and
fruits than ever before.and stock inter
ests are constantly increasing. Yakima is
now the center of a grazing district, over
which roam more than half a million
sheep. All agricultural lines are Improv
ing. and an impetus is lent endeavor by
the splendid roads that lead from all di
rections to the market. The roads are
never muddy and are uniformly hard, ex
cept for a brief Interval in the summer
months, when they are dusty. In the dis
trict tributary to Yakima are probably 150
miles of main irrigating ditch, and there
are already thirty miles of a prospective
sixty miles of the Sunnyside canal built.
People can buy land with water rights at
moderate prices, or land owned by the
Northern Pacific may bo purchased with
a perpetual water right for $25 per acre, or
at an annual water rental of per acre.
A great system of ditches is being further
projected.
Last year the rrop of alfalfa yielded .">O.-
000 tons, which sold for J4 per ton. The
profit from this source may be estimated
when it is known that the average yield
is two tons per acre, and that three crops
per year Is usual. Many people are com
ing to Central Washington from the East,
most of them being trained farmers. Near
ly all have money and are able to begin
farming on a scientific basis. A larere
number of the new-comers are Hollanders,
a thrifty, capable class. Special attention
Is being paid to the raising of fine stock
of particular breeds. also of poultry.
When asked concerning the question of
horses. Mr. Freeman replied that the hills
are covered with wild horses that have
multiplied in such numbers that they are
a nuisance, and if some way for removing
them at one fell swoop could be devised it
would be a great thing for the country.
They are as much of a pest as thf rabbits
of Australia, or chipmunks, gophers, bad
gers. wolves and all sorts of nuisances that
receive a premium for their scalps. Many
are herded away to the Portland cannery
and sold for a dollar or two. while others
are shot down and fed to hogs, but still
they multiply, eating the grass that should
be converted into mutton and beef.
This year the hop fields will yield
bales that will bring the agreed price of 10
cents per pound, many growers having
contracted for their yield at that figure.
Mr. Freeman, in discussing the forestry
reservation, said that a great hardship
would be wrought if sto< k wrc driven
from the rang** that are included in the
reservation. The Kainier reservation, it is
believed, w ill not be closed to grazing, de
spite its setting aside as a park, but should
it be it would cut off a great revenue.
Mr Freeman returned to Yakima last
night with the Wenatchee fruit growers.

succeeded in getting away by crossing in
to Canadian territory. His final arrest,
for which a great measure of credit be
longs to Deputy United States Marshal
Vincent, was fully exploited at the time.
The other prisoners were John Jenkins
(colored) and William Sues, a Frenchman,
who is an old-time offender, both of whom
go up for a year for liquor selling to In
dians. William August Mohr, the default
ing postmaster of Rosljrn, also received a
sentence of a year, his plea to the court
l»eing "guilty." Mohr's case is an un
usually distressing one. and no one in the
community in which he lived believed htm
guilty of the charge. The embezzlement
to which he pleaded was really the result
of careK-ssness In the matter of bookkeep
ing and general bad management of his
official affairs. When the train reached
Cle-Elum Mohr's wife and children met
him, kissing him affectionately.
