Crops are Larger than Estimated

He had Dreamed
LAND DOUBLES IN PRICE
Threshing Crews will Continue TO
Work long after Snow Flies TO
Handle Big Crop

Mr.. G. G. Hall, prominent husi-
ness man of this city returned yester-
day from trip through the Big Bend
wheat fields. He states that the
CROPS are even larger than had been
estimated and that the farmers Of that
section will have more money than
they know what to do with. Wheat
is averaging from 27 10 II bushels to
the acre and oats are going from so to
100.
Mr.. Hall is the owner of large
ranch near Bridgeport and is an old
settler of the Big Bend.
1.-The threshing crews in the Big
Bend country are working every
minute of the day yet the wheat crop
is so enormous that the force of men
now employled is entirely made
auate," said MI Hall. i under
stand however, that there are more
threshers coming III from Spokane
and the cities Of the coast are being
secured for helpers. Even with this
aid threshing will continue till long
after snow iiies. There is no need Of
any man being out of work in this
state for the Big Bend farmers are so
anxious to harvest their crops that

Mr.. Mankey had 160 acres of land
in wheat last year and intended to
let it remain idle this year. After he
cut the grain he ran over the stub

spring he noticed he had an unusually

Mr.. Hall stated that there has been
a phenomenal rise this year in the
value of the wheat lands, some of the
farms having increased in value as
much as so per cent over last year.
He attributes the rise of land to the
fact that most of the settlers are east
erners and they write home such en-
thusiastic letters that each original
settler is the means of bringing
numbers to the country.

Mill with Big Elevators is Ready to
Handle Much of the Large
Wheat Crop
200 BARRELS FLOUR A DAY
Peach Blossom Flour so Good that
II is all Consumed by Local
Residents

The Wenatchee Killing company
started operations Monday after a shut
down Of two months. The mill will
be run night and day during the rest
of the year to supply the demand for
its flour. DuIlng the time that the
mill was idle, the tolls were reground
ard recorrugated, the purifiers cleaned
and new selves were put in the boilers.
The entire mill was gone over and
given thorough preparation for the
rush OF work this fall
Two new elevators, with a capacity
of $50, 900 bushels each have been in
stalled. They are constructed entire
ly of steel and cement, are absolutely
freproof and are the latest pattern of
grain elevators. Wheat is delivered to
It's transferred through a portable
shute in which is an endless chain of
buckets. These buckets carry the
grain TO the top of the tanks and
empty their loads through az iron
pipe. Whenever the grain is needed in
the mill it Is diverted through another
pipe ar the top of ehe tank through
which it runs into tue mill.
Last years flour has all been sold.
Most of the shipments were in carload
lots and went TO dealers on the Pacific
coast. A quantity of flour was sold
to other mills.
Two grades of -four are manu-
featured. The Peach Blossom"
brand is we'll known to Wenatchee
people and has the distinction of hav-
ing taken the gold medal at the St.
Louis exposition. The second grade
is known as "Wenatchee Chief" and
being -four strong in gluten, it is in
great demand in San Francicso and
other large cities for use as maca-
roni -four. The capacity of the m i'll
is 200 barrels day. There is enough
local demand to take care of all the
"Peach Blossom" -four that the mill
can turn out and the other grade of
flour haas been contracted for ahead.
The mill has contracted for 200, 900
bushels OF wheat this year, large
part of which it will use in making
flour. The rest will be shipped to
Seattle and other points. The COM
pany has warehouses up the Columbia
river and east as far as Ephrata on
the line of the Great Northern. There
are Is warehouses in all with capaci-
ties ranging fl ON 5000 to 60, 900 bush

year the wheat is as perfect as any

Miss Adams has always been a well
come guest at the houses of wealth.
And everywhere she goes she
breaches the doctrine of Tolstoy that
the rich should get of the backs of
the poor. One OF her admirers-and
Chicago is full of them-says: Her
attitude of mind has always been
that OF student. She has a large
patience which includes all men, all
sins, all conditions, all prejudices,
all superstitions. Whatever else
may be be said of her. she is largely
tolerant. Possibly she is the most
largely tolerant soul in this great
community of souls who do not COM
mune; this Commonwealth which is
not common. this industrial corpora
ton called Chicago in which indus

there are, are portraits and a sure

Miss Jane Adams Is Known All Over the
Land for the Wonderful Work She Has
Been Doing in Hull House in Chicago.

Been Well Tested. Does Anyone Sup

JANE ADDAMS
E2Ix Of Chicago. How doe:
IH8A that sound? Justice
MS1H0 David j. Brewer, Of tbs
United States Supreme
Court. thinks thinks Il sounds
very well-too good to be true And
of course, it's only a dream-or, per-
chance, a prophecy. Justice Brewer
has spoken right out in meeting in
favor OF woman as a voter and an
Oficeholder. He has said that he sees
no reason why a woman should not
be President. He declines TO be-
iieye that the suffrage will DEVON
anize her; he points out her greater
honesty, her keener sense of responsi-
bility, and answers very thoroughly
the time-worn argument that she
lacks executive capacity.
II was In an address to the STU
dents of Vassar College that Justice
Brewer came out in favor of woman
suffrage. He was talking to the stu
dents on the problems facing the
American citizenship. When the girls
suggested that these problems diS
not concern them, inasmuch as they
were not voters, he retorted that they
ought to be, and before they knew
1t they probably would be. Later he
explained himself at some length in
the New York World, saying that as
women now have full suffrage In
four States and vote on certain uues-
tions IN some of the other States. II
is not visionary to suggest that the
next half-century may extend full suf-
frage throughout the Union. One
thing is clear. that if it tends to the
better life of woman it will bless all
and should be adopted. IL il in
1ures her, II will injure society and
should not be extended"
He winds up his carefully prepared
statement in this wise:
While in this country, it is true.
we have had no conspicuous iIlustra-
tions of higher municipal or State
oficeholding by woman, yet she has
often been elected to and filed the
place of superintendent of instruction

aptitude for executive control has
been well tested. Does anyone SUD-
pose that she would fail as mayor of
