At rleeting of the heads of the

the trustees last night several matters
of great importance to The city were
taken up and plans made for immedi-
ateIy carrying out the the ideas of

The most important matter under
consideration is the Improvement of
che city's water supply. 1t is planned
to take steps to improve the present
supply it Is planned and at the same
time look toward better and larger
supply for the future. The present
supply is at times inadequate for the
city with Its present popul att on and
the Improvement which the club fav
ors will be appreciated by the resi-
dents of Wenatchee who have been
forced TO drink high line ditch water
for q number of weeks during the
summer.
Another matter which was taken up
was the extension to tpe city limits.
The present limirs do not include
by any means all of what is really a
part of the city in point of being plat
ted and Quilt up. 1t will be recon-
mended that the councii extend the
limits both north and west.
Secretary Woods announced TO the
club that he is in receipt of letter
from large glass manufacturer stat
ing that If proper sand can be obtained
near WeDatchee that he will build a
factory here and begin manufacturing
fruit jars. The plant, he states, woul6
furnish work for a hundred men the
year round. The committee on new
Industries has taken the matter up and
is obtaining samples of she different

BIG BEND WHEAT
GROWERS TO BUILD
4OO-BARREL MILL
c. E. Packard of This City to Head
Big Organization of Grain Men
of This Section
New Enterprise Will Locate in We
natchee if Suitable Arrangements
Can be Made

At the earnest solicitation of many
of the large wheat growers OF the
Big Bend, who are desirous of protect
lug their interests ip the marketing of
their products, G. E. Packard has ten
dered bis designation to the Wenat-
chee Milling company and will head o
large corporation whose objects will
be to market the wheat of the Biz
Bend by manufacturing it into flour
and other mill products.
Puget Sound capital has been inte-
rested in the enterprise and no less
than two hundred wheat growers will
in this territory will herome stock
holders. The plans of the new COM
pany involve the construction of ten
large warehouses at different points
along the line of the Great Northern
~as far east as Krupp and at up river
points where grain is handled, and
a 400 barrel flour mill, the location
of which has not been definitely
settled. although, if suitable arrange
ments can be made it, is stated that
Wenatchee is the preferable site
Plans for the mill are now under con-
sideration and include a four story
building with an up to date equip
ment for turning out first class pat
eut flour and all kinds of feed end-
grain chops. The mill will be the
largest concern of the kind between
Seattle and Spokane and will be of in
estimable benefit to Wenatchee should
it be decided to locate here. 1t would
make this distributing point for
much of the wheat and mill products
that now go to Seattle, and the pay
roN in itself of such a concern will
add much to the prosperity of the
city.
Probably no more competent person
could have been selected for manager
of the enterprise than Mr.. Packard,
who has been identified with the
wheat interests of the Big Bend for
the past six years and is universally
popular for his straight forward bust
ness methods He not only has the
confidence of the wheat growers but
he is thoroughly familiar with the
manufacturing and marketing of mill

proper field for such an enterprise
and that the country adjacent to We.
natcnee can support flour manufac
tory of large proportions.
1t is the intention of Mr.. Packard to
have the mill in shape to handle the
new crop OF wheat this fall.
The capital stock of the company
will be $l00.0 900 and articles of incor-
portation will be filed as soon as the
details or the propositions are thor
oughly worked out.

Casper, Wyo.. March 27.-Lasr
night at 1920 O'Clock the accommo-
dation train on the Chicago and North

into a washout on the prairie 26 miles
west of here, killing nine persons and
injuring 13 Others.
About the same time the middle

wreck.
A severe snowstorm came up and
after going six miles, the handcar
was blocked. The physicians then
drove to the wrack. Most of the killed
were In a caboose, which was Ct the
rear of the train with ponderous
steel water tank back of the caboose.
The caboose sank down deep into the
mud and the water car plunged into

LITTLE DAMAGE TO FRUIT
AT NORTH YAKIMA

North Yakima, March 27.-Con-
flicting reports regarding the damage
sustained by the fruit OF the valley
have been printed in the newspape RS
of this section. AS result the local
agents of the Northern Pacific road,
M S. Meeks, has been requested to
make report in detail to the head
quarters of the roal at st. Paul,
Paul Kruger, expert fruit man, was
asked by the Herald to make a COM
plete investigation of the damage and
has done so submitting sample branch
es of apple. peach, pear, cherry and
apricot trees.
The result of the report is that there
mas been no damage except to apricots
and that will not exceed 5 per cent.
Mr.. Kruger states that the damage to
apricots will not amount to more than
the necessary number of trees that
would have to be thiuned out. This
report has also been sent, to St.
Paul by MI. Meeks.
1t is believed that these reports will
endanger the immigration from the
East to the coast and this accounts for
the interest the Northern Pacific has
taken in the matter.

From our REGULAR Correspondent,

CFrom Our Regular Correspondent
WASHINGTON. d. c., January 21.-
Few. II any. virginians arc aware OF
the fact that Sir Thomas Upton, the
famous British yachtsman. was once a
citizen of svirgina. Yet such is the
fact. The celebrated sportsman spent
about n year of his life on a farm ncsc
Wilson'S Depot in Dinwlddie county.
He was employed as farm hand. and
did just such work as thousands OF yir-
ginia men are doing to-day on the farms
OF the Old Dominion.
Hon, Harry ST. George Tucker. prcsl
dent of the Jamestown Exposition Com
pany, met Sir Thomas while the former
was In England this winter in behalf of
the Exposition. Mr.. Tucker mentioned
the subject OF the Exposition to Sir
Thomas. and was surprised to see tho
readiness with which the baronet de-
clared the enterprise should be a sue
cess But the surprise of the American
was l,nmeasurably Increased when told
that Sir Thomas was once resident OF
Virginia and therefore interested spe-
cially in the enterprise.
1t was when sir Thomas was boy that
he saw life In Virginia as a farmland.
He came 10 this country when fifteen
years OF age. In 1865. as Aeerage pas
senser from Glasgow. and for two years
worked In the rice fields of South Caro-
lima. It was about 1858 thu he made
his way into Virginia and fetched up OIL
tho D!dwiddic county farm. The farmer
who gave him work became very fond OF
the hard working lad and was extremely
kind to him during the two years the
future barouet was VITA nm At the end
OF the year. Upton. who had been dream
ing OF being much more than a farmer
boy, departed, Probably the next thing
his former employer heard of him, no
was in this country as the English ehai-
lenger for the international yacht cup.
But he had become the greatest provision
dealer in the world. his parent store IN
Glasgow having about go branches In the
various parts OF the United Kingdom, and
the farmland himself had become
knight, baronet. and the intimate OF
kings and princes. II would be interest,
ing to ind that old Dlnwiddie farmer and
/ learn what he thought OF the nobld
yachtsman as a farm lahorer.
