Announcement.

Owing to the advance in paper
and all newspaper materials, the
Pioneer will, after January 18th,
1908, raise the subscription price as
follows: The weekly will be charged
at the rate of $3.50 per year instead
of SIPS as heretofore.
After January 18th, 1908, those
subscribers to the daily and the
weekly Pioneer, who live outside of
this county, whose papers are sent
to them in a single wrapper, and
wish to have the paper sent them
will be required to pay in advance.
The paper will not be sent unless it
is paid for. This notice is given
early so that I'll who are in arrears
will have sufficient time to settle
their accounts before that time.
Statements will be sent to all who
are in arrears and they will be
expected to pay up all that is due
and year in advance on the weekly,
and at least three months in advance
on the daily.
The single list" as it is termed
is practically a dead loss to a
newspaper. A few keep their sub
scription up, but more let them
run along until they are hard to
collect and many are not collected,
but the editor has to pay the pos
tage each week on all papers that
60 out side of the county, and also
has to pay all other expenses of
furnishing the paper and mailing
it. :.
The Pioneer at all times aims 10
give to it's readers the best news
service possible, and the money
saved by not permitting these
accounts from the single list" to
run will be used to better the
paper.
The list will be carefully watched
from month to month and on the
first of each month all whose sub
scriptions expires within the next
six weeks following the date of the
month will be notified of the exact
date of the expiration of his subscrib-
ton.

THE CITY
LIMITS
Shall They be Extended to Include
the Section North of
Town.

The question of the extension of
the city limits to include the north
part of town which was limited at in
last nights World has caused no
small amount of comment, and from
present indications it is highly
probable that more definite meas
ures may be taken to secure the an
neXatiOn of this district to the city.
The Sentiment of the People.
At the present time it is impos-
sible to state just what is the SEN
timent of the people residing in

Home and Garden Home Additions
AS to the sentiment of the people
within the present city limits, there
is probably no question. That the
city must grow is accepted without
argument.
The World will be pleased to have
communications from the people of
that part of town giving their views
on the question.

WANTS TO
Be A NATION
Speaker Before Canadian Club Saws
Canada Should Unite with the
L. S. or be Independent.

Ottawa, Dec. 5.-Addressing the
Canadian club at Ottawa last even-
ing on the future of Canada, J. S.
Ewart, XIX. c., urged that the pres
that cannot last forever. Canada
must some day rise to the full dig
nifty of nationhood and either alone
or in some partnership have and ex-
ercise the highest powers of govern
ment The Dominion most probably
will be in one of the following posi-
tions: Union with the United States;
independent republic, union with the
United Kingdom; an independent
monarchy with Canadian king and
queen; Independent monarchy with
the same sovereign as United King
DOM
In Ewart's opinion the future Of
Canada will seemingly be nation
nationhood, self-control and political
equality with the United Kingdom
instead of subordination and subser-
viency to the colonial office. If, con-
cluded Ewart, this be our future,
then we will yet reach the goal aim
ed at by the late Sir John MacDOn-
aid. We shall get great British
monarchy in connection with the
British empire and under a British
king, recognizing the sovereign If
Great Britain as it's sole and only
head.

LAND DEALS
At PESHAST|N
S. p. Beecher Sells Forty Acres for
$14, 4,OOO-Gave $4,000 for 80
! Acres Last Spring.

Last spring S. P. Beecher gave C..
Gibbs $4,000 for his eighty acre
ranch four miles east of Leaven~
worth. Some five acres were plant
ed to orchard years ago. There was
also about ten acres of young trees,
some bearing and some to come IL
later. 1t was 40 acres off this tract
that Mr.. Beecher sold short time
ago to eastern parties for $14, 900.
Two years ago S. P. Beecher sold
a 40-acre tract in the same vicinity,
highly, improved, to C. S. Craig, fer
$4,000. Two weeks ago a man can
along and offered Mr.. Craig $4,000
for his 40-acre ranch, but the Offer
was turned down. The fruit land n
the vicinity of Peshastin, which is
nearly four miles distant from Lea
venworth, is considered to be the
best adapted to apple growing of any
in the state. Many, in fact, most OF
the many Chelan county prize Win
ming apples come from this vicinity.

FRANK DALLAM
ON PIE BITEfS

There was a pie social at the NJ.
E. church last Friday evening. For
some reason we were not notified
of the coming event, and hence fail
ed to mention it in our last issue.
However, there was a good crowd
out and a stack of pies was con-
sumed, much to the delectatiOn of
the consumers and the enlargement
of the church fund. Speaking of pies
reminds us of the genius who earn
ed the reputation of being the great
American pie bitter. Somewhere in
the back ages we ran against the in,
dividual who claimed this honor. He
had a protruding set of grinders that
looked like the teeth of hay rake,
and the opening in his face that pass
ed for a mouth resembled a barn
door. He claimed that he could
bite through twenty-five pies, and
at the time we mention he was in
very depressed state of mind. He
stated that he had just returned from
Canada and had lost sure thing bet.
He had staked $500 with a willing
taker that he could bite through 13
pies and had lost the money. As
almost twice as many was an easy
nip for him a sympathetic bystand-
er inquired how it happened he fell
down on such a light task. He do
lorously stated that the blasted Ca
nadians were vile and rotten sports
as they rung in tin plate on him.
We throw in the story in conjune-
ton with the report of the local pie
meet as a warning to anyone who
may aspire to winning the champion
ship as a bitter to watch carefully
that they do not run up against any
such brace game as that practiced
by the shrewd Canadians.-Palmer

GETS BIC
PROFITS
Wilbur Little Clears $4,000 from
Six Acres of Orchard Trees
Six Years Old.

T. A. Walton, formerly of this city
but now of Seattle, is in the valley
today, and thinks he will move back
to Wenatchee next summer to live.
Mr.. Walton one year ago sold a good
home in the north part of town to
Wilbur Little. He received for the
six acres $12, 600 or $4,000 per acre.
This was regarded as a high price
at the time, but Mr.. Little bought
the place for q home and was salts
fed that l. would net him a good
per cent on his investment.
The six-year-old orchard of six
acres this year netted him $4,000
after paying the charges OF picking
packing and marketing the fruit, or
33 1-3 per cent on his investment.

New Primary Methods.
Special to the News.

Specml to the NeWs.
 Little Rock. Aug. 2S. The com ing Democratic primary, in which candidates for state offices are to be named, will be conducted a little differently to those of the past. This is not generally known, however, for in some manner the fact has never been published that the change has been made.
 Heretofore candidate for gov ernor received the nomination upon the number of counties carried In this manner a can didate might carry many thou sand more votes than his op- ponent and still be defeated for the nomination. This time the system is changed, and the popular vote will decide the nom nation regardless of the coun- ties carried. This is expected to make quite a difference in the re suit in some cases, for candidates have been accustomed to running upon the other basis, and it will be difficult to recast their or. ganlzatIOnS so as to conform to the new system.
 In times past a candidate re ceived 17, 300 more votes than his opponent, but was not nominated from the fact that his nearest op. ponent carried more counties than he This changed the re- suit of the election entirely.

Little Rock, Aug. 28.-Gover- nor Pindall on yesterday after noon refused to pardon J. M.

Governor Pindall has steadfastly refused to pardon pistol toters and those who sell liquor unlawfully. He made no statement regarding this particular case but his feel. ingS in the matter are well known and his action in refusing the pardon will cause no surprise.
 Gov. Pindall also offered a re- ward of S200 for the arrest and conviction of Gilbert Brown, charged with having committed criminal assault upon Tennie Unger. The proclamation sets out that Brown is fugitive from justice.
