COUNCIL GRANTS
SALOON LICENSE

The Wenatchee city council met last
night in regular session. The prin.
cipal business to come before the meet.
ing was tho application for license to
condact saloon on Orondo avenue
just off Wenatchee avenue. A petit
ion against granting the license and
signed by many citizens of Wenatchee
was rejected by the council by vote
of four to two. A vote was then taken
on granting the license which stood five
in favor of it and one against.
A proposition from the owners of
the fair grounds or the city to pur-
chase tteir holdings, was laid on the
table. The proposition is that the city
buy the property for S12,0 with the
condition that fairs pe conducted every
year and that failure tc do so would
cause the grounds to revert to the or
ginal owners at the price paid by the
city An alternative proposition was
tnat the city buy the land for SIS, 600
with no strings attached.

CHELAN COUNTY

MORE POULTRY
Harry Collier Advises the Farmers
and Town Lot Owners to Raise
More Poultry
He Says Washington Imports Three
Million Dollars Worth of Poultry
Products Year

In letter to G. E. Buttles o: this
city, Harry Collier of the Pacific
Pcultryman of Tacoma and judge of
the Wengtchee Poultry exhibit, says
The fruit industry of the United
States and especially of the state Of
Washington is a big thing and we
should do everything to roster the in

industry has been sadly neglected to
that extent that we are now SHIPPING

three million dollars worth of poultry
products each year.
Down in the puyallup valley where
the berry crop is thebig thing the farm
ers have discovered that poultry ring
in their orchards and among their fruit
vines are an actual help to the pro-
duct. Fowls as a rule will not sseat
berries and among the apples they only
hurt the windfalls, and where one has
grass in their orchards, the fowls will
eat the bugs and grass and not touch
the fruit.

these eggs could as we'll be raised in

The poultry industry can be made
to pay more on the money invested
than any crop that one might laise.
Many have made rank failures in
poultry plants and the same thing
might be said of other industries-it
is said that ABOUT six per cent of our

Don't starve Your Bird,

It is common mistake to think that pets can only be taught when hungry and to commence a birds training by depriving it of breakfast, dinner or supper is a most unhappy beginning. In reality the feathered folk are just as apt and full of fun after a comfort able meal as before it, and to starve, scold or otherwise i'll treat the little creature will usually render it too un- happy to learn quickly if at all. Birds are extremely nervous beings. They love low, quiet voice and gentle movements-love to be talked to, coax ed and made much of. If the pet is a new one and seems specially excitable or timid, you will have to teach 1t first of all not to fear you. Any little games he is to learn must be acquired after ward.-Mary Dawson in St. Nicholas.

that her grandfather, her brother and
 uncle were insane, likewise husband s
 cousin. She recalled that her grand father was violent. In the case of
 her uncle, he was insane from birth,
 and at times was SO violent that he
 had to be restrained with chains He
 lived to be 25 years old. Mrs. Bishop said that her husband was 63 years old and was afflicted with rheumatism, and was in poor physical condition. He worked when his rheumatism was so he could, and received $4 or $5 a week for his services He was of in- temperate habits and had drank for a long time. Questioned in regard to her children, Mrs. Bishop said she had six, naming them as follows: Percy, aged 24; Obid, 23; Etta, 21; Charlie, 19; Horace, IA; Ethel, 13. At the present time she had no know ledge of the whereabouts of Horace and Ethel. The other daughter, Etta, had been in an industrial school, but she now lived at home. Witness  testified she had not seen Charlie from the time he was taken by the Massachusetts board of charities until Wednesday in the court room. At times he had acted strangely. He had fits when little, as did the other none of whom was very bright.
 The last witness was Marietta Mo- of Roxbury, a sister of MT. Bishop. She said she knew her uncle was insane, and that her moth CT had told her that her grandfather had died insane. She said that her mother was out of her mind, being subject to fits. None of the Bishop children was bright. Witness corro- borated Mrs Bishop in regard to the Bishop children having fits and flighty spells. She said Mrs. Bishops mother was subject to fits and at times her mind was apparently gone.

Nine-tenths of the failures intend to do well.
 If air castles were real, some people wouldn't be satisfied.

Man Against Horse.

A man (Shrubb) has run ten miles in 50 minutes 40 seconds; another man (Hutchens) has run 300 yards in 30 sec onds; another man (George) has run a mile in 4 minutes 1924 seconds. Of all running records this last appears most unapproachable, and it seems likely to stand for very long time. Men like Shrubb, Bacon and "Deerfoot," who have covered very close on twelve miles in the hour, could certainly hold their own with most carriage horses over a good road. If the gait chosen were walking instead of running, the quadruped would be badly worsted.- Grand Magazine.
