In New Quarters.

The Cascade Lumber Co is now
settled down in the new buildings
recently erected in the yards at
this place. The Office force is es-
tablished in a large suite of Offices
in the north end of the main build
ing. These Offices are models of
the architects art, being finished
throughout in natural wood in
imitation of the primitive archi-
lecture of the west. The build
ings throughout the yards are de-
signed to hold the various styles
of the finer qualities of lumber and
manufactured goods usually kept
in first class lumber yards. Since
this company purchased the busi-
ness from Mr.. Emigh some three
months ago, large additions have
been made to the stock and the
business has in every way been put
on a broader basis. Mr.. S. G..
Ward, the local manager, is a thor
ough lumberman and 4 very enter
prising and gentlemanly business
man, who has made a large circle
of friends since his arrival here and
is largely responsible for the good
business now enjoyed by the COM
pany at this place.

to tie up here for the purpose of re-
pairing, repainting and fully equip
ing tie boat for its work on the
river, which will take about ten
days.
During this season it is proposed
to conhne the boat to the upper
river traffic. and she will make
daily trips between this point and
the foot of Priest Rapids, calling at
Benton and the other landings that
will be established on the way.
H. E. Cover, the manager and
Capt. M. S. Danaher, inform us
that the river between here and the
foot of Priest Rapids is the finest
stretch of water in the northwest
and admirably adapted to river
steamboating.
1t has not been decided just
where the permanent landing will
be yet but in the meantime it is
likely the old railroad ferry landing
will be used. That is where the
boat is at present tied up.

THE GEROME
HAS ARRIVED
THE BIG RIVER STEAMER
IN DOCK AT KENNE-
WICK.
Manager Cover Brings Down the
Steamer that Opens a new Era for
Kennewick-Met at Landing by a
big Crowd.

The long looked for arrival of
the steamer Gerome took place last
night at about 7:45. Shortly before
that time telephone message was
received from Benton announcing
the fact that the big boat had
passed that place on its way down
the river. The news quickly
spread over the city, and short as
the time was between the receipt
of the news and the arrival of the
boat, large percentage of our
citizens were on the bank to give it
hearty welcome. An effort was
made to get the band out but only
few of the members could be COM
municated with in the limited time,
consequently that part of the pro-
gram had to be dispensed with.
The steamer is eighty-two feet
long with a sixteen foot beam, cap
able of carrying 100 tons and about
a hundred passengers it has recent
ly been fitted with new machinery
throughout and is in first class con-
dition, with the exception of the
need of its annual new coat of paint.
The boat left Wenatchee yester-
day morning at S O'Clock and made
the trip down the river to this
point in a little over twelve hours,
ARRIVING at 7:45 p. m. The jour-
ney was uneventfu1 with the excep-
ton of the trip past Rock Island,
the worst piece of rapids on the
upper river. In this stretch of
water the boat became unmanage-
able and turned completely around,
and jammed up against a rock tear
ing away part of the woodwork on
one side, but inAicting no serious
damage.
1t is the intention of the owners

to any one we wanted to. Now
we will not cast a vote on those

Big Strawberry Shipments Begin.
Yesterday was the starter for the
real shipments of Strawberries from
this place. When the trains pulled
in to the depot going both ways the
platform presented the appearance
of wholesale fruit warehouse.
Trucks loaded with berries occu-
pied the full length of the platform.
When the evening train for the east
arrived it was held here over thirty
minutes in order that the berries
might be loaded. Five hundred
and odd crates represented the
shipments for the day, the big bulk
going to points in Montana where
the price still ranges above five dol
lars a crate. From now on it is
expected the shipments each day
will run from five hundred up till
about the latter part of next week,
when the big end of the crop will
have been disposed Of. The Ken
newick berries have the market
practically monopolized as the ship
ments from other points are very
small. Hood River expects to
start shipments about the goth and
by that time our berries will be
practically off the market.

Nelson .Wrests Title by
Clean Knockout
Fight Is in Doubt Until Final
Blow Is Landed
Native Son Loses While Putting Up
Game Battle--Botn Little
Men Were Severely
Punished

SAN FRANCISCO, Sept. s.-In
fight that will long stand in class
of its own in the history Of ring con-
tests, Battling Nelson, the sturdy lit
tie Dane from Illinois, knocked out
James Britt of San Francisco at Colma
this afternoon. The end came in the
eighteenth round and was a clean cut,
fairly won victory. This is simple
statement Of the results the story Of
the battle itself furnishes thrilling
tale. No element that goes to give
the fight the superlative title of great
est" was missing. The surroundings,
the crowd, the known bitterness of
the men toward each other; the uncer-
tainty as to whether there would be
a fight up to within "a brief quarter
of an hour before the fight actually
began; the cleverness and endurance
displayed by the two boxers-these
are what made the fight a great one.
Nelson Forced Fighting
1t was the story of many another
ring contest-the success of the strong,
sturdy, enduring fighter against a
clever, cool boxer. This in brief, is a
description of Nelson's and Britt's ring
characteristics. respectively. From the
very first moment of the fight until
Referee Graney finished the count of
ten, Nelson forced the fighting. Though
battered by innumerable bruising
blows upon the face and body, and at
times very tired, Nelson never for one
moment gave ground. He came back
after every vicious attack by the
clever Britt, always ready to exchange
