HOSPITAL HAILED WITH Salts.
FACTION.

The coming of new hospital will
mean much to Wenatchee.
The assurance that we are to have
must be received with no small sat
isfaction.
The necessity for such an institu-
ton has been felt in the past. And
it will be remembered that some
time ago a movement was inaugural
ed for securing a hospital, to be
founded under the auspices of some
one of the Catholic Sisters societies,
but for several reasons the effort
was unsuccessful.
The need, even now, for an insti-
tuition equipped for the successful
care of surgical and other cases is
great; as we grow larger, this need
will become greater, and it is hence
with no small interest that We well
come the enterprise of one of our
professional men.

HEAD EN- OFF.

Wenatchee Wants No More Bust
ness Men Just Now.
We've business enough to keep us
busy, but If big flock of OUTSID-
ERS blow in, and the present trade
is SPLIT UP, it will leave only
SCANT PICKING FOR EVERY
BODY.
This is danger we must ward off.
We must not permit the city to be-
come Overstocked with Business Men
or Business Houses.
The past history of Spokane and
Everett furnishes two Grevious Ex-
amples of an Overdose of False Pros
perity. A number of years ago these
cities doomed themselves into a fren-
Zy of inflated values and unhealthy
growth, and the Sorrowful Sequence
is matter of common knowledge.
Is there not danger of Wenatchee
doing the same thing?
Let us work together to avoid this.
Let the Commercial Club sit up and
take notice
Here's the HARD BOILED
TRUTH:
Encourage people to come, but
send them to the country.
That's What Spokane is Doing.
The Chamber of Commerce there is

promoting abundant immigration.
but detecting the incoming current
Of new population into the rural dis
tricts.
Spokane's plan is wise. Develop
the adjacent country, and the city
will develop itself; for is it not who'll
ly dependent on the surrounding
country.
Twice as many lawyers, doctors
and merchants as we now have would
make Wenatchee mighty poor busi-
ness place. There is ample trade and
practice for the merchants and pro-
fessional men who are here now, but
until more farmers come to Wenat-
ches and spend more money, what's
the use of encouraging more people
to settle in the city itself, and try
to make money?
GET MORE RURAL SETTLERS!
Encourage People who would like
to grow fruit, or SOW wheat to come
to this country. It's the place Tor
them. Fill up the Moses Coulee dis
trict, develop the lands across the
river. Harness the potential water
power in the hills back of us-mak-
ing the outlying districts buster and
better, but head 'em from Wenat-
chez.
This is not a Selfish Attitude.
It's Self Preservation-and that's
Natures First Law.
Wenatchee is Prosperous, of
courst, but why Grow so Much as to
attract the attention of Possible
Competitors who will thereby be in
fluenced to Butt In and try to Split
the Winnings with us?
Is not the World right about this?
Thing it Over.

RANCHER GONE; A MYSTERY
Wife Thinks He May Have Been
Slain for His Money.

NORTH YAKIMA, April 10.-Con-
siderable mystery surrounds the dis
appearance of Jack D. Willmon, a
Columbia river rancher living near
Priest Rapids, who has been missing
since March IL. During the week
prior to his disappearance he drew
1915 from a local bank, leaving AZ
cents deposit to his credit, since
which time he has not been seen,
and his family are worried over his
absence. He met Miss Annie Fisher,
a trained nurse, five years ago when
she came from Boston and filed on
a desert claim near Willmon'S ranch,
and out of the friendship which
sprang up between them developed a
love affair which eliminated in their
marriage New Years day, 1906. They
are said to have lived an exceptional
ly happy life, and no domestic trOu-
bles have marred their happiness,
and Mrs. Willmon, who is on the
verge of nervous prostration, asserts
her husband would not desert her.
Mrs. Willmon is in town directing the
search for her missing husband, who,
she declares, was man Of eXemp-
larry habits, and she is sure he did
not lose his money through gambling.
She is of the opinion that he may

timber in the southern part of the
Hills. This does not by any means
represent the total amount of dam
aged timber, as that on patented
land, valid mineral or agricultural
claims, and on areas about to be
sold, is excluded. 1t is hoped by
the government to sell this timber
in large amounts to operators who
will handle it on a large scale, as the
country in which most of it is To-
Gated is accessible.
The beetles attack the trees US
ually in the autumn, and until the
next summer the wood is still green
and unimpaired. Then it begins to
turn a blue color, due to a fungus
in the tree. This blue wood, while
not suitable for some building pur-
poses, yet surpasses green timber
for others. Laboratory tests prove
The Redwood gazette. [volume] (Redwood Falls, Minn.) 1873-1940, 1907-03-27

that the blue wood is slightly strong
er than the green wood, and it's
durability, if not exposed to moist
ure, is almost as great.
About two years after the tree
is infested, the needles drop from it,
and from this time, the tree dies
rapidly, and the wood becomes of a
cheesy nature. Shortly after the
tree first becomes infected, the
needles turn red, and these trees,
known locally as redtops, can be
spotted for miles as the victims Of
this killing pest. Standing on the
tops Of many Of the divides in both
the northern and southern hills, one
cln look for miles, seeing in every
direction, dead or red-topped trees,
and note the wide devastation of the
timber that once gave to this coun-
try its name.

The death of Thomas Bailey AID
rich removes almost the last of the
New England writer's of the old
school who have made an enduring
name ash masters Of their craft.
Edward Everett Hale, at the age OF
85. still survives and continues to
delight his old admirers with the
boyish freshness of his style and the
lovableness of his personality. In a
recent interview he suggests that
the way to grow old gracefully IS
not to think of ones self as an old
person or to talk or even think OF
the infrmities of old age overmuch.
He sagely observes that people who
indulge in this habit are not only
unhappy themselves but do not con-
tribute lmuch Ito the happiness of
their associates. The Iprose of such
writer's as Lowell, Holmes, Emerson,
Edward Everett Hale and I. B.
Aldrich will not go out of fashion
for century or two, and the work
of the literary favorites of today
seems decidedly crude when COM
pared with these famous New Eng
landers, who lived their useful lives
in simplicity and naturalness, and
wrote themselves out at a time when
there was little honor and less cash
for the opponents of American liter
ature.
