PROTEST AGAINST ORDINANCE
Majority of Property Owners Do Not
Want Chelan Avenue Widened.

At Tuesday nights meeting of the
city fathers Fred Reeves entered a
protest in behalf of the owners of a
majority of the property on Chelan
avenue against widening the street
and asked in behalf of his clients
that the old ordinance be repealed.
He argued that the owners of the
property, since they must bear the
expense of the work, are the cheif
ly interested parties and for tnat rea-
son their request should receive fav-
orable consideration.
The matter was referred to the
city attorney, who at present is no.
taking any action, as the legislature
is juggling with the right of eminent
domain, and it will be necessary to
wait until that body has taken final
action before it will be possible for
for him to advise the councn on the
matter.

A COMPARISON
IN FRUIT LANDS
"Wenatchee Valley Lands Worth 3
Times as Much as Those of CAL
ifOrnia," Says ShOtwen

If California fruit land is worth
$1,000 per acre, the lands in the We
natchee valley are worth $4,000
Il have seen lots of country with
N the past few months, but ! must
say that the Wenatchee valley beats
them all" This is the statement
made by j. A. Shotwell on his return
frcn an extended trip to California
lasting several months.
Continuing on the relative prices
of land Mr.. Shotwell said: Oranges
in the orchards of California are
worth 25 to Is cents per box. Our
apples are worth from 25 to Is cents
a box, but We take off three times as
many apples from the acre here as
they do of oranges in California"

BIG MILL WILL
SOON Be BUILT
Work To Start Within Thirty Days
on New FIGURING Mill in We
natchee

Construction of the big flour mill
of the Farmers Grain & Milling COM
pany, or the Beal Grain & Milling
company, as it will henceforth be
known, is soon to be started. Con-
tractors are now figuring on the work
and D. A. Beal, president of the COM
pany, is authority for the statement
that building will probably start
within thirty days. 1t is the purpose
of the company to have the mill
completed in time to take care of
this years crop, which means not
later than October.
The site chosen for the new mill is
all of block 60 replat of First addi-
tion, which is just north of the new
bridge. The mill and warehouse will
cover a ground space 144x114 feet,
and will be constructed of brick and
stone. All the latest improved mill
ing machinery will be installed and
the capacity of the mill will be $50
barrels day. Electric power will be
used and two or three companies are
now figuring on supplying the power
The company which is behind this
big milling project is capitalized at
$250,000, and is an organization of
local business men. The officers are
D. A. Beal, president and manager; /;
"A. P. Kiser, vice-president; 7. j.
Groves, treasurer: J. S. Albin, secre-
tary. The directors are C. E. Pack
ard, D. A. Beal, T. ]. Groves, A. P.
Kiser and ]. S. Albin.
When first organized the company
adopted the name of Washington
Farmers Grain & Milling company,
but this was considered a too lengthy
cognomen and also was found to con-
flict with the Washington Grain &
Milling company of Spokane, SO at
a recent meeting of the directors of
the company it was decided to drop
the original title and choose another.
The name selected is the Beal Grain
& Milling company.
The construction of this mill
means another large enterprise for
Wenatchee and it will be a credit to
the town and to the men who are be-
hind it. The officers of the company
are among the most widely known
and the most substantial residents
of this valley. They have for the
most part made their money here,
and their confidence in their home
community is such that they unhes-
itatingly venture their capital in the
new project, feeling that any legiti-
mate enterprise adapted to the needs
of this section cannot fail of success.

The fire originated from an over
heated stove pipe which was stuck
through the roof and used in lieu
of a chimney. About noon Mrs.
Goodwin put bundle of rags in the
stove and they burned so fiefcely
that the shingles on the roof near the
stove pipe ignited. The blaze was
first discovered by neighbor's little
daughter, who carried the warning
to Mrs. Goodwin. The alarm was
Immediately phOned into town and
the changing of the fire bell brought
a quick response from the fire de-
partment. The run was a long one
and when the boys reached the scene
with the apparatus they found their
work done for them by garden
hose in the hands of a nearby resi-
dent. A small hole in the roof, a
few pieces of scortched furniture and
some burned bedding sums up the
damage, which amounted to prob
ably $50. Mr.. Goodwin is in Eph-
rata.

MAKES DISTRICT
OF THIS COUNTY
Chelan and Douglas Separate Ju-
dicial District-OkanOgan and
Ferry Combined

A dispatch from Olympia to Fred
Reeves yesterday evening stated that
senate bill No. 50 dividing the pres
ent judicial district has passed both
houses. BY the provisions of this
bill Chelan and Douglas each become
separate judicial districts, and Okan-
ogan and Ferry counties are cOmbin-
ed in one district, the change to take
place at the next general election.
This news was received with delight
by the members of the bar in Wenat-
chez and will be most welcome to
the profession throughout the entire
district of four counties.
A partial immediate relief
from the present condition was
provided by placing Ferry
county with Stevens under Judge
Carey and leaving Chelan, Douglas
and Okanogan to Judge Steiner until
the time of the next election.
The movement to secure divi-
sion of the present judicial district
along the lines decided upon by the
legislature was started some time
ago by the Chelan County Bar asso-
citation but was not pressed because
of other important legislation that
had been asked for. Representative
Smalley of Okanogan introduced a
bill in the house to place Ferry coun-
ty in a district with Stevens, Douglas
in a district alone and combine Che
Ian and Okanogan in another. The
senate bill proved the most accept
able however.
The almost phenomenal develop
ment of the four counties composing
the old district in the past few years
has created such an increase in legal
business that it has been impossible
for a single judge to dispose of the
multitude of cases that come before
him. The conditions were discour-
ageing to the lawyers and appalling
to the Judge. Only about two terms
of court a year have been held in
Chelan county, and all cases have
consequently dragged in manner
that was disheartening to the law
yers and heartbreaking to the clients.
In informing the World reporter
Ct the dispatch he had received con-
cerning the division of the district
Mr.. Reeves expressed the gratifica-
tion the news afforded him because
of the relief the change promises.
Naturally all members of the profess
sion were jubilant over the news,
and the laiety as well have reason to
rejoice.

the positive guaranty that the goods
