NOT over HALF A
CROP IN BIG BEND
Grain Men State That Crop There
This Year Will be the Lightest
In the History of That
Section

According to reports coming in
from Waterville. Soutsside. Hartline
and other Big Bend points. the wheat
crop this year will not be over hslf
what was expected caller in the sea.
son. The hot weather of the last
three weeks with NO rain, just at the
time the wheat was beginning to fill.
he's played havoc with the crop and
farmers who have lived in that section
for years state that it. will be
the lightest ever harvested in the Big
Bend.
The Douglas county crop is esrimat-
ed by several grain men not to exceed
1000, 900 bushels, where month ago
the same men predicted O crop of 8 600
900 bushels or over. One of the pc.
culiar features of the crop is that on
the low lying lands wheresthe crop is
usually the lightest it will be the
heaviest this year and on the plateaus
where there is usually plenty of rain
the wheat is almost burned op
While the crop will be light the
farmers are pot discouraged and many
of them are curtipg the wheat for bay
TO avoid an entire failure. They are
keealy disap pointed over the crop put
at the same time are planning to put
in large acreage next year. probably
much greater than this year.
Had the usual June rains fallen this
year it is conceded by everyone that
the Big Bend would have harvested
the largest crop in its history. Until
three weeks ago the prospects never
looked better and the farmers felt con-
tident of bumper crop. Editor Tut
tie. of the Big Bend Chief at Water
vile, estima ted the Douglas county
crop several weeks ago at 100000
bushels. although this was believed
nv grain men to be several million bu-
shells too hisn. However, it showed
the confidence which the Big Bend
peopIe had in a hamper crop.
Other points in eastern Washington
report the wheat slightly damaged but

fairly good crop

rel flour mill which it was annonDced
in the Daily World several months ago,
would be built in Wenatchee this fall.
Arrangements are now practically
complete for the construction of the
mill, which will be the largest con.
Germ OF its kind in this Fart :i'ehe state
and Mr.. c. E. Packard. one OF the
prime movers in the big project,
states that the mill will be erinang

The members of the first board of
trustees of the corporation are d. A.
Beal, A. P. Kiser, J. 8. Albin, T. J.
Groves and O E. Packard. The FIRST
stockholders meeting Will be held in
this city next Saturday and officers
will be elected to serve until the first
annual meeting. 1t has been settled.
however, that D. A. Beal shall be pre-
sident of the corporation and will be
the active head of the concern. Mr..
Beal is one of Wenatchee's wealthiest
citizens and best business men. His
name at the head Of tho corporation
will carry much weight ana inspire
the conf ience of everyone. The other
trustees are all we'll known men CT
this city. T. ]. Groves is one Of the
oldest merchants in the city and is
known to everyone as q conservative,
able bsiness man. J. S. Albin was

glas county. @. E. Packard has been
identified with the Wenatchee Milling

recognized as careful, conservative
and successful business man. He is
very popular among the farmers and
merchants generally.
With such men at Its head aud the
liberal support which 1t is receiving
from the Big Bend farmers and the
business men of Wenatchee, the com.
pany will undoubtedly become one of
the large concerus of the state and
should pay handsome dividends from
the start. Large blocks Of stock have
been subscribed by many Of the farm
ers and home business men and more
is being placed every day. It is ex-
pected that all the stock will easily be
placed in few weeks.
The company has the choice of sew

DAM TO Be REMOVED.
Famous Obstruction Of Kenosha
River to be Torn Out by the
Allen Company at Once
LONG SUIT SEALS ITS FATE.
Suit Which Will End in the Circuit
Court This Afternoon to Result in
the Dam Being Voluntarily
Removed by Company

The Allen dam-that old bone Of
contention-wh;c has obstructed the
free flow of the water of the Kenosha
river for the past three years, is to be
removed by the owners Of the big
plant. This is the announcement that
was made by b. C. Theirs this morn
| ing, and it is probable that the work
OF tearing out the dam will be started
within4a few days. For the past
week the attention of the circuit court
with Judge Tarrant. of Milwaukee, on
the bench, has been occupied with
stories Of the dam and the damage
which it is alleged to have done to the
surrounding property. The case will
be concluded this afternoon and it is
probable that the court will take the
matter under advisement before rem
dering decision. In any event the
Allen Company managers and attor-
neys have admitted that the dam must
come out and that the company never
had any right to maintain the dam.
The dam was built little over three
years ago for the purpose of furnish
ing better water for the big tannery.
The work Of building the dam was
accomplished before the people in the
neig hborhood had time to make a pro-
test to the common council, but as
soon as the dam was completed the
people began to kick. The dam has
been repeatedly assailed in the coun-
Gil, but the aldermen have never
found themselves ready to take action
to secure the removal of the dam, and
the ma tier was not brought to an issue
until Sarah F. Karnes and her sisters
filed suit in court to have the dam
declared nuisance to the public, and
to force the Allen company to pay
damages for the alleged injury to the
surrounding property.
In the week that the suit has been
on trial the matter has been gone into
at great length and scores of wit
nesses have been called to show the
conditions prevailing before and
since the dam was built. In the 1iti-
Igation the Allen company has not
assumed any right for the building
of the dam and the connpany's attor-
Ineys have admitted that the dam
must come out.
It is stated by the managers that
the taking out of the dam will not
Interfere with he work Of the big
(plant as plenty of water can be Sc
Toured from the river without the use
of the old obstruction. The decision
of the company to remove the dam
will be met with rejoicing among the
! people living along the river.

Miss Amanda Leinonen, aged 20
years, resident of Kenosha and we'll

friends had planned to give her a
hearty welcome home. The home
coming will be a sad one fol. her
friends.

GETS STATE HONOR
Vim. Kaufman Of This City Nom.
mated for Lieut.. Governor by
the Social Democrats
GAYLORD HEADS STATETlCKET


William Kaufman, a former mem
Der Of the Kenosha city council and a
leader among the Social Democrats of
the city, was nomina ted for the Office
of Lieutenant Governor at the con-
vention of the Social Democrats held
in Milwaukee Saturday evening.
William r. Gaylord of Milwaukee. the
idol of the Social Democrats of the
state was named for! governor and the
convention placed full state ticket
in the field. This ticket will be sub
mitted to the members of the party
for referendum vote, but there is
little reason to believe that any names
on the ticket will be changed. The
full state ticket,follows:
For Governor-W. R. Gaylord, Mil
waukee.
For Lieutenant Governor-W William
Kaufman, Kenosha.
For State Secretary-Charles V.
Schmidt, Milwaukee.
For Treasurer-Joseph Amman.
Thiel.
For Attorney General Richard Els
ner, Milwaukee.
For Insurance Commissioner-H
w. Bistorius, Milwaukee.
The convention proved to be an
enthusiastic one. but the control was
largely with the Milwaukee members
of the party. Racine sent a delega-
ton of fifteen members and Kenosha
county was third with a representa-
ton of five delegates. The party
platform which was published several
days ago was given the sanction of
the convention and it will be referred
for the referendum vote.
There were 236 delegates in the
convention and of this number 100
came from Milwaukee. However,
nearly every one of the leading
counties IN the state was represented.
w. r. Gaylord, was Immediately
named as chairman of the convention
and John Burns of Kenosha, was the
secretary. The nomination of Kauff-
mann for lieutenant governor is hailed
as high honor by the Kenosha
Socialists and they seem to believe
that Kaufman will get large vote
in this part of the state. Kaufman
has been prominent in Social Demo
cratic circles for many years and has
been a consistent supporter of the
platforms of the party. He has done
much to aid in boosting the cause in
Kenosha, and has for the past three
years taken an important place in the
state councils of the party. The con-
vention decided to make an aggressive
campaign in Wisconsin and the speak
ing campaign will be opened at once.
