Many New Business Blocks Erected In
che Town This Year.


the Town ThIs Year.
The little city of Bryant is making
wonderful record in the line of build
ing this year. The following struc-
lures have been erected on Main
street since last spring, viz:
BY George l. Cole and H. S. Rowe,
president and cashier Of the Mer-
chants bank, two-story brick block,
50x60, with full basement, occupied on
the first floor by the Merchants bank
on one side and Fred Villas, the drug
gist, on the other. The second story
Is arranged for offices, etc, and SO far
is occupied as follows: DIR. H. G. Lar
son, dentist; DIR. l.. p. Prouty, physi.
clan and surgeon; @. A. s. Arneson,
attorney at law; Prof. j. X. Schultz,
music teacher; E. s. Cole and Egeberg
Ruben, private parlors. The building
is first-class throughout with steam
heat in every room and the very best
of fixtures. 1t is undoubtedly the
SWEETEST 50x60 feet in this part of the
state, and perhaps in the entire state.
BY William Lundy, one-storg
brick building, 25xS0, with full base.
ment, occupied by r. X. Newcomb as

dandy.
BY Hestead Bros, a one-story dou'
BILE brick. store building. 25xeO, with
full basement, occupied by Hestad
Bros. as general store on one side

building and one of which the city as
well as the owners can be justly
proud.

building, with basement, occupied by
the owner as barber shop and bath
rooms. A swell concern.

building, % xS0, with basement, not
yet occupied.
BY F. b. Kidder, one-stoTy brick
building, 25x60, with basement, to be

brick store building, 50x100 feet, with
full basement, occupied by Ward G
Co. as department store. 1t will
have steam heat throughout and is fit.

modern designs, and is the best of its
kind in this part Of the state.
Excavations are under way for the
basement for another brick building
25xS0, one story high. to be erected
by Carl Erickson.
Let some other place the size Of
Bryant show up anything that viii
compare with the foregoing record.

pany, Arrested at Aberdeen.

w. ID. Carroll. an agent for the
George B. Van Nortrum company. Of

ka weights. and giving Mix draft on
the Chicago company for the amount
but explaining to Mix that he had no
money and that the Chicago company
might protest the draft. Mix sent the
cattle to Chicago and sent Carroll

WANT ASSESSMENT REDUCED.
saerehanis Of Mifbank Object to State
Boards Advertisement.

Merchants Of Miibank Object to State
Boards Appraisement.
A meeting attended by the mer.
chants OF Milbank was held recently
for the purpose of devising some way
to reach the state board Of eQualiza-
ton and get a reduction Of assessment
as left by that board on stocks OF mer.
ehandise. All the stocks In the city
were assessed by the assessor at 40
per cent OF their actual value. This
was raised 100 per cent by the state
board, making an assessment of so per
cent of the actual value upon which
the tax Is to be levied. One Milbank
storekeeper paid last year taxes
amounting to $264.54 on his stock. In
1905, ON slightly increased stock,
his taxes are $676. In Grant county
the total value Of merchandise as left
by the state board was $7S,145 In 1904,
and $1S6,366 in 1906. This large In.
crease In the face Of the Aercest com.
petition from mail order houses ever
known Is claimed to be a burden. They
claim bank stocks and real estate
should be made to pay some Of the
tax. "A. v. Fisher, J. s. Farley and
August Mittlestaed were appointed a

The largest piece OF work yet order
ed under the National Irrigation act,
is an extensive dam in salt river val
ley Arizona, contracts for which have
just been let by Secretary Hitchcock OF
the Interior Department, at total cost
of 100000. In addition to provid-
ing water for about $50, 900 acres of land
now arid and useless, this dam will sup
ply water power for. many indus
tries throughout the region. One of
the important achievements of the
first administration of President RoOse-
velt was the practical beginning of
systematic operations in reclaiming
the lands in the west by means OF irri-
CATION under the act OF congress, passeo
at the urgent recommendation of the
President. 1t is eminently appropriate
that great and typical piece of work
like the one in question should bear
his name.
The Leavenworth echo. [volume] (Leavenworth, Wash.) 1904-current, 1905-06-09

Saw the Need of National Irrigation.
In the course of his expeditions to
the far west in search of health recre-
alton and big game, Mr.. Roosevelt saw
that the great need of that part of the
country which he travarsed was an
adequate and comprehensive system
of irrigation and he also realized that
the work was too extensive to be un-
dertaken by private enterprise, as he
understood that II it was to be done at
all it must be done by the Federal Gov
ernment, one of his first acts as Presi-
dent was 10 urge upon Congress the
enactment of the law under which the
progress now noted is being made. 1t
was hard work to get the irrigation
bill through both houses. Narrow
minded and short sighted persons OPP
posed it with ali their might. They
said that public funds should not be
spent on sectional improvements, they
insisted that the thing was impracti-
cable anyhow, and that it would in
volve the Improbable expenditure of
hundreds of millions of dollars. All
the pullbacks and old fogies were up
in arms against it and only the hardest
kind of work saved the day. The lar
gest part of the credit due for the sue
cess which was ultimately achieved
belongs to the President.-Enquirer.

Land Takes Big Jump.

Relying upon the prospects of the
construction of a bridge across the Co.
lumbia river at Wenatchee, the prop
erty holders of Columbia Valley have
raised the price OF their land from $40
to $50 an acre. This applies to the
land which lies under the proposed new
ditch the construction of which is de-
pendent upon the building of the
bridge.
Civil Engineer Ed Hall was in the
valley last week and speat several days
in surveying the land to come under
the proposed ditch. The bridge is not
yet built but the inhabitants of South
side and of Columbia Valley have
promised TO come to the front for the
purchase of their share of the stock and
believing that it is not only possible
but that it is probable, have according
ly placed that figure as the lowest at
which it can be bought.
Concerning the work of the incorpor-
ators, Civil Engineer G. e. Fowler, who
has charge of the plans, was in the city
Tuesday and met the trustees of the
Wenatchee Bridge Company. The
plans are now complete and everything
lis in readiness for the construction ex-
cept the raising of the money. Secre-
tary Olive will proceed at once to sign
up as much stock as possible. 1t is
proposed to have the stock sold this
summer so that the work of construc-
tion may proceed in the fall.-We-

Cooking by Electricity.

Practically every form Of cooking
may be done ON the electric range by
heat electrically generated. The ex-
detrimental stage has been passed, and
the problem which remains to be
solved, writes Day Allen Wiley In the
Western Electrician, Is that of ex-
pense. A number of systems are In
use in Great Britain and on the CONT
nent. The features common to all are
thus described by Mr.. Wiley:
The housewife or cook can roast broil
or fry the meats. stew the vegetables. bake
the bread and biscuit, heat the dishes on
which the ytands are to be served and
prepare the various beverages without
needing a pound of liquid or solid ruel.
Thus the economy OF space Is apparent
for the clumsy and bulky fire box which
the stove utilizing solid fuel must con-
tain is unnecessary, and the room can be
devoted to ovens or other receptacles.
Consequently the necessary asparagus foi
a family can be condensed into u com
paratively small room and the Kitchen
and pantry combined in one II desired
Even the refrigerator for perishable food
can be kept In the same apartment as the
from the electric units is SO small that the
temperature around the apparatus is Du'
little affected
The cost of apparatus and utensils Is
far beyond that of other outfits In gen
eral use and will probably remain SC
indefinitely, but the expense of electric
heat varies, according to the means
used for generating it The cheapest
method Of all is water power. Mr.
Wiley argues that the small amount Of
energy wasted In cooking by electric
heat as compared with the loss wher
coal or gas or oil Is used should rec
ommend it to the public. But economy
looks to the returns gained on the In
yestment after allowing for waste
Even with the loss OF 80 or even TX
per cent Of energy in cooking ordinar,
fuel is cheaper by half than the cheap
est electric heat.

cy Of the case at Panama city Is pre-

Adding to Number Of Human Foods.

Adding to Number Of Human FOouss
A movement is on foot among the
civilized governments of the world to
increase the number and varieties OF
human foods Every few days, from
some corner of the globe, new vege-
table or fruit is added to the long list OF
plants used in some form or other by
the civilized world. 1t is largely from
a study of the food of savages that we
get these new products. Not few
articles, such as egg plant, tomatoes,
melons cucumbers, pumpkins, ETC., re-
garded by us as delicacies, originated
in this way. Scientists are testing
these products and declare them to be
both palatable and nutritious. No
government agency is more active IN
this line of work. than our Department
of Agriculture at Washington, d. e.,
which is constantly trying to breed new
fruits and vegetables and to acclimatize
foreign ones. One of the creations In
which it feels most pride is the tangelo,
cross between the grape fruit and the
tangerlne orange; another is the mpngo
tree, brought from India, and on which
our plant breeders are still working to
successfully cross it with some harder
tree that it may withstand the severity
of our winters.

Home Enterprises.
Should home town industries be pro-
tected?
Are town halls, high schools, hotels,

desirable in our immediate neighbor-

What is the town hall for? For pub
lie gatherings and entertainments
Good entertainments cost money. Des-
troy the home town industries and the
home town spirit languishes and dies.
With the town gone the people go.
Who will then pay for first class
public entertainments?
Who will then support the high
school?
Who will patronize first class hotelsp
Who will keep up the churches?
What first class preacher or doctor
will come to dead town. They will
go where the people are.
Where are the people going? To
large cities. Why9 Because too many
persons are sending their money to
large cities. When money goes to
large cities, the good teachers, good
preachers. good doctors follow to get
the money-your money. The result
will be poor teachers in your home

doctors that you are afraid to employ,
druggists who can't fill prescription
safely.
Can you expect first class professional
men to remain in your locality when
ynu send your money to the city? No!
When you patronize mail order
houses you play into the city pluto
Gratis purse. How? By killing home
industrits, driving skilful doctors and
teachers to the city because they can't
afford to stay with you.
You deprive your children of good
