GOOD SALES AT CASHMERE.
Many Buyers Looking for Land
There-Big Proposition.

A. J. Amos, of the Cashmere firm
of Amos and Burbank, real estate
dealers, is appearing before the COM
missioners today in the interest of
some road matters in his locality.
His firm recently sold seven-acre
fruit ranch belonging to o. N. Tor
renee, the consideration being $1,000.
F. B. Frisbie of Wenatchee is the
buyer, and is moving up today to
take possession.
Through the assistance of A. ].
Linville the firm also disposed of the
Stagg place, consisting of five acres.
William Harrison of Iowa, was the
purchaser, paying $500 for the
same.
Mr.. Amos says that many new set

district, and the prospects for great

er development of the valley are
daily growing brighter. The prices
of farms are still within reasonable
limits, and as the land is very SIM
liar to the famous Wenatchee valley
soil, the movement of property con-
tinues active. Burbank and Amos
are also handling the Fred Stein
place, the one-hundred acre tract
near Cashmere. Their plan is to di-
vide this area into numerous small
farms of five and ten acres, which
will sell readily at from one to three
hundred dollars per acre. The land
carries private water right from
the Wenatchee river. Good water
for domestic purposes is available at
a depth of from II to Is feet.

CUTTING CANAL THROUGH ROCK
Difficult and Expensive Piece of Con
structiOn on OkanOgan Project

There remains but about half a
mile of the two miles of rock work
on the Okanogan irrigation project
canal to be completed. The work is
of a more difficult and expensive
character than has been supposed
The canal for quite distance
is blasted out of an almost perpen-
dicular cliff, about 100 feet from it's
base. A concrete retaining wall, five
feet high and two feet thick at the
base, will have to be built along the
entire two miles where the rock cut
is being made. The bottom and up
per side of the canal will have to
be cemented to prevent the loss of
water through crevices caused by the
heavy blasting. 1t is estimated that
it will require year to complete the
cement work.
The building of the canal along
the cliff was necessary in order to
get water upon the upper end of
Pogue fat. From point on the
cliff near DIR. Pogue's ranch, water is
to be diverted for the lower end of
the fiat. The water will have a per-
pendicular fall of about 100 feet and
can be used to generate electricity.
F. w. Rosenfelt has two camps
and is crowding work as fast as pos
sible. Camp No. 2 is on the Proctor
place, four miles south of Riverside.
Twenty teams and fifty men are
working here and are said to be
moving dirt faster than has ever been
done on the canal before. At camp
No. /, three and half miles north
of Okanogan, ten teams and the rock
crew are employed. The rock crew
has been at work all winter.
At Barker's camp, near where the
canal enters the fiat, his large force
is engaged in making long fill, and
is making good progress.-Record.

MIL WAUKEE
WILL COME
Confirmation of Reports That the
Milwaukee Intends to Construct
Road to This Valley.

New confirmation of the report
that the Milwaukee intends to build
into this territory is received almost
every day. Several officials of that
road have recently visited here for
the evident purpose of looking over
the situation and sizing up the busi-
ness prospects for their road. Since
their names were given to the World
in confidence they cannot be made
public, but it is permissible to state
that they admitted it is the purpose
of their road to construct spur
into the Wenatchee valley. Sur
veyors are now running line up
the Columbia river towards this
place and have set their stakes
through C. B. Reeds place south of
here.
While people have learned from
past experiences not to place too
great confidence in surface indica-
tions, there are many sound reasons
for believing that the Milwaukee not
only has an eye on this territory but
proposes to build in the near future.
The mere evidence of preliminary
survey carries little or no weight in
itself, but when taken in conjunction
with many other convincing circum-
stances it adds substance to the rum
or.
While the World has gathered suf-
ficient evidence to justify the prom
ise that the Milwaukee will build in
to thsi valley, and that construction
may even commence this year, it is
premature to name the route, al
though one, who is close to the head
of the Milwaukee system and is an
official of that road, stated that a
route from Moses coulee through the
Quincy wheat country to Wenatchee
was one that holds the greatest fav-
or at the present time.

Big Millinery Sale.

The millinery opening of the Ellis
Forde company last week proved a
big success. The company has more
than doubled the size of its millinery
department and the Saturday sale of
ladies' head gear was the largest in
the history of the store. In fact,
the sales were double the previous
high record. The handsome window
display mdae for this department
aided materially in attracting a large
number of purchasers, for the win
dow was most artistically and attrac-
lively dressed and caught the atten-
tion of all passers-by.

WANT TO USE
OIL ON ROAD
HI. C. Keeler Urging County Com
missiOners to Oil Road From
ClFelan Falls to Lake.

H. C. Keller, civil war veteran and
supervisor of road district number
three, appeared before the commits
sioners today and presented plan
for improving the road between Che
Ian Falls and Lake Chelan. This road
way is the only access to Lake Che
Ian, and in the tourist season is a
much travelled trououghfare, hun
dreds of tourists, etc., passing over
it en- route to the lake resort. And
the dust here is a great nuisance in
the summer months.
of the authorities in an oil treat
ment of the road in question, only
two and one-half miles of which is in
urgent need of immediate attention.
He asks that the commissioners sup
ply the oil required for the work, and
agrees that the residents of his COM
munity will stand the cost of apply
ing the same to the surface of the
roadway. 1t is estimated that the
cost of oil per mile, for the first ap-
plication, will be about 5000. If the
process is as successful on this road
as it has proven elsewhere, one ap-
plication, with few subsequent min
or applications in worn spots, should
preserve the road-surface during the
whole season.
Oil as dust preventative and sur
face-preserver has practically passed
the experimental stage, and is being
used with uniform success in many
parts of the world, notably in South
ern California. AS far back as 1902
the department of agriculture, Wash
ington, gave in its yearbook an ex-
haustive summary of the experiments
with oil on dusty roads. 1t has since
been found that not only does az
oil application allay dust, but that if
properly observed, and the applica-
ii repeated on worn places, say for
two or three successive times, resi-
lient crust not unlike asphalt is form
ed, which withstands rain and wear
and tear of traffic, making in time
a compact, slightly spongey surface,
impervious to moisture and wonder
fully durable.
In Southern California at the pres
ent date the use of Oil on roads is
almost universal. Constant expert
ments in the early days of oil usage
| taught the road-builders what meth
DDS of application and treatment
were best, and in consequence the
very perfection of oiled roads has
been reached. A well-known resident
of Southern California city recently
said that rather than return to first
conditions, and endure the dust nuis-
ance as it was before the days of
oiled roads, that he would move
away.

SMALL TRACT-BIG PROFITS.
Seven and One-Half Acres Yield Net
Profit of $6,674 in One Season

Still another instance of phenom-
email profits from small orchards has
come to our notice.
Dan Woods, who lives " miles
south of Cashmere, has nine year
old orchard comprising seven and
three-quarter acres. Last season his
72 cherry trees netted him $664.
The remaining portion of the orch
ard, which is set in apple trees, yield
ed 5400 boves of apples, which sold
at $1.15 per box. The net yield of
the whole small orchard, after de-
Quoting all expenses of boxes, pack
ing, etc., amounted to 6,674. What
do you think of that for TX acres?

HIND IN GLOVE
WITH M0RMONS
Republican Leaders Vie With
Each Other
SMoo1 IS BOUND TO WIN
Shrewd Game of Politics Played by Salt
Lake Hierarchy
'Moo1 IS BOUND TO WIN

Goodwin's Weekly calls attention to
the open alliance of the leaders of the
Republican party with the Mormon hie-
rarchy in the following vigorous Ian
guage;
"The Mormon, edited by an inn
ported Democrat, shrieks with horror
over the insinuation that the Mormon
church and the Republican national or
ganization are in hard and fast alli-
ance. The horror would have more
genuine appearance if it were expressed
by Republican. But let that pass.
Does any sane person suppose that
leading senator's of he Republican party
are standing by the Mormon church in
the Smoot fight because they like it,
Does anybody imagine that they are CON
doning polygamy and defending the
right of man to live with a half
dozen or more wives because they ap-
prove of such practices3 Not in a thou
sand years. They are doing it because
they see a political advantage to be
gained by assuming friendly attitude
toward the church
"Smoot and his associates, moreover,
have found a new card to play. A con-
test is raging in the Republican party
over the presidential nomination two
years hence. They are leading each of
the candidates and his friends to believe
that if Smoot is seated and the church
let alone" the votes of Utah, Idaho and
Wyoming will be cast for that particu-
lar candidate in the Republican national
convention. Presumably this explains
Secretary Tafts visit to Idaho to pull
the church ticket out Of the hole; it may
explain Fire Alarm" Foraker's zeal in
behalf of Sinoot, and it is possibly the
reason why Vice President Fairbanks
and the coterie of senator's who are
committed 10 his presidential asplra-
tons are working tooth and nail to keep
the apostle in his seat
These are the frozen facts, and all
the black type hysteria in Christendom
will not change them Men claiming to
belong to the party of Lincoln are not
apologizing for the keeping of serag-
lios of the twentieth century becaue2
they believe that the oriental style of
living is a good thing for the country
They are not so anxious to keep an
avowed apologist for polygamy in his
seat as their associate that they would
stultify themselves and misrepresent the
evidence adduced against him merely
out of their personal admiration for him.
The reason is deeper and more potent
and iti 5 pretty apparent"

FREE TELEPHONES

Coeur d'Alene Sun: The legislature
accepted free telephone service in the
face of the governors message. The
governor could not veto the measure, as
the acceptance of the courtesy was
through motion, which does not go up
to him for approval The governor, in
hissmessage, recommended the passage
of law to stamp out corporation fa-
vors to legislators, but somehow the
old system seems to be too deep rooted
to be torn up at once. The railroad
pass was put under ban, but the law
makers found it running against the
grain to put an embargo on free speech
1t wouid, however, have been in better
taste had the legislature in this matter
supported the governor, for the spirit
of the times is opposed to corporation
influences on legislation Republican
legislators flying in the face of the gov
ernor in such a matter is bad party pol

Of the three balls, who is on the alert
to make something out of another mans
losses. We have turned the heads of
men by our admiration and emulation,
and have contributed our part toward
condoning the low standards of ethics
which they hold The very conveyance
of our own low ambitions has produced
at the focus the fetid atmosphere in
which these standards flourish.
But, beynd this, we have created the
artificial opportunities which open the
way for these gentlemen into other peo-
pies pockets. Great accumulations of
property in the control of few men
are frightful political and social evil,
and in justly organized society they
could never occur No man could
make twenty million dollars in a long
series of lifetimes under any approxi-
mately equitable system The founda-
ton of such fortunes is not the ability
to create, but the ability to annex. And
this ability to annex we have presented
to the men who make use of it. Our
tariff is the root of the power of the
steel trust to roll up dividends on oceans
of water The rights-of-way which we
abandon to railways and street rail-
ways and subways and lighting compa-
MES are just SO many instruments for
exacting tribute from us and piling it
up in the Golfers of the few We have
the same story to tell of mining rights
and banking rights, of the favors ac-
corded to the repositories of govern
ment moneys, and of the privilege al
lowed to. private individuals and cor
porations to retain the unearned in
crement of site values.
1T is upon such meat, of our own
raising and providing, that these our
Caesars feed, and if they are as sur
feited and unhealthy as hogs in a sty,
it is because we have deliberately gorged
and fattened them. And it is well that
we should see the scandalous results of
our own imbecility. We ought to be
thankful that the laws of nature have
not ceased to act, and that evil trees
continue as in the past to bring forth
evil fruit 1t is a waste of time to shed
tears over the present decaying, worm
eaten crop. Let it go. But the trees
of industry are still there, and they can
be digged about and pruned and re-
stored to health. To put our orchard in
good condition again, we must abolish
once for all the opportunities for the old
kinds of graft which in our ignorance
and folly we have ourselves created"
