INCREASE OF
VALUATION
Shown by the Report of the County
Assessor, Who Has just Com
pleted Tax Rolls.

Assessor Spencer has just complet-
ed the tax rolls of Chelan county for
the year 1907. The report shows, a
considerable increase in the value of
personal property in the county. This
being an off year, in which only per-
sonal property was assessed, the in
creased valuation is not as great as
it otherwise would be. Real property
assessments of last year stand the
same on this years rolls.
The total number OF acres assessed
are 347,119 The value of acreage
property in 1906 was s1.391,903 as
against $1,427.304 in 1907. This
raise being due to new lands becom-
ing subject to taxation.
The personal property taxes for
the year 1906 amounted to 3,713,-
220 and this year it amounts to $4,-
937,324. This shows an increase in
the total valuation of the personal
property of the county of $1,224,1O4.
Thep rincipal increase Tin valuation
has been the property of the Great
Northern railway.

It was this excessive rate that in
duced. the home people to organize
The old company made a big bluff
as to what they would do should the
farmers try to organize. This BLUM
was called and inside of few
months the new company was string
ing it's wires.
Inside of six months the new COM
pany had as many phones as the old
company. Starting in with one tel
ephone girl, the local company now
has six central girls.
The system, which is one of the
best in the state of Washington, is
continually being improved. A new
multiple switch board is soon to be
installed which will be a decided i'm
provement.
I'VE didn't expect to have more
than one hundred phones when We
started" said S. w. Phillips, vice
president of the company. who was in
the World Office this morning. Nov
we have over 500 subscribers in tbr

The commercial club and citizens
of Chelan respected the secretary s
desire for a quiet trip and made no
effort at public entertainment, and
this seemed to be appreciated by his

To All Fruit Growers:
Dear Sir:
If you wish to give the association
trial to see whether it will pay you
to sell your fruit through it or not
bring some of it in and the associa-
ton will sell it for you to the best
advantage it can, with the mutual
understanding that you can stop
shipping through the association
whenever you wish and the associa-
tion can decline to take your fruit
whenever it wishes.
Now another thing, if you do not
want to sell through the association
at all but are consigning to commits
sion houses in Seattle or Spokane you
can join with the association in ms..--

PEACH CROSSED
WITH APRICOT
New Kind of Fruit-Fine
Flavor,

trOm NOrth Yakima comes News OF
New Kind of Fruit-Fine
Flavor.
One of the newest and best fruits
that has been grafyed is what the
owner, A. M. Gale, of Fruitvale dis
trict, calls peach-aprlcot, says the
Yakima Republic. The tree is only
three years old and has borne for
two years. The fruit is of the most
luscious kind with perfectly smooth
skin, having the color of both a peach
and an apricot. The fruit is always
large and is ripe in proper season
about the first of July.
Mr.. Gale did not pay any attention
to the tree when it was small and
came very near cutting it down, but
after it yielded its first fruit he real
ized the value and Immediately had
it copyrighted. This gives him COM
plete control of that kind of fruit and
no one can raise the same kind of
fruit unless they buy the trees Of
him. He will have 5000 trees on the
market this fall. He has been Of
fered $4,000 for the one tree and the
copyright but refuses to take it, with
the idea that he can get more by
selling the bud to be grated.

THE LOCAL FARMERS
TELEPHONE SYSTEM

OF the home institutions which
have been organized in Wenatchee
few have made the success as has the
Farmers Telephone & Telegraph
company.
The story of theo rganization of
this company is an interesting one.
The Bell Telephone company was
asked to furnish phones for the fruit
growers. They were willing to fur
nish the phones but wanted $500
and $3.50 month. This price was
paid by 2. A. Lanham, William Tur-
-ner and Conrad Rose.

TO FRUIT GROWERS
President of Wenatchee Valley Fruit Grow
ers Association Makes Suggestions
for Fruit Men

ular passenger trains, thus getting
the fruit to it's destination in the
quickest and best manner possible.
The returns for your fruit will be
sent to YOU direct by the commission
house you oolsign to.
We are all fruit growers and
neighbors. Let's work together and
help each other and not pay out any
more to the express company than
we have to.
Just one more thing. The associa-
tion has completed arrangements so
that hereafter market reports from
Seattle, Spokane and other points
will be posted daily in the ware
houses al Wenatchee, Malaga and
Cashmere. From these reports each
grower can ascertain every day the
prices at which his fruits are sold.
All growers wishing to have their
fruit packed by experts can do so by
bringing it in loose to any of the
warehouses.
Yours truly,

the Northern & Southern railway.
But first I want to thank the editors
of the Waterville papers for their
consideration in refraining from pub
fishing our intentions up to the pres
ent time. You know there are times
when it is better to play your own
hand and pour your own drinks.
"'We now have 100 miles of To-.
Gated line filed in Waterville and
Yakima land Offices and the points
we wish to cover are now secured,
You know that the Great Northern
railroad has filed their maps of the
survey they made up Moses coule~
from the Columbia river. Oh, yet,
but that does not interfere with us.
We only parallel their line for about
ten miles in the bottom of Moses
coulee where there is room for a doz-
en- lines to build along side of us for
that distance.
I'VE are not fighting the Great
Northern or any other line. There is
plenty of room for two railroads in
this section and they would have all
the business they could attend to the
moment their rails were laid. Go
look at the map of Washington and
compare the Big Bend with the FAM
GUS Palouse country. They have five
railroads and we have none and our
country is just as productive and as
large in area, and it is now practical
ly all under cultivation and l want
to state that it is the best tonnage
producing section for any railroad
between Minnesota and Puget Sound.
What is our object in going to
Pasco? Simply this: We are looking
for an outlet for the Big Bend wheat
and will have a down hill pull with
no adverse grades to the city of Port
land and practically a level grade
from there to Tacoma ON the Sound.
This heavy wheat tonnage can be
handled much cheaper on these water
grades than over the top of those
toboggan slides on the Cascades, even
though the distance is greater.
The Northern & Southern rail-
way can be operated every day in the
year. No lard slides, no he-.vy
grades and in country where it is
easy to maintain tracks. In going to
Pasco we cross the Great Northern,
the Milwaukee, the North Coast, the
Northern Pacific and connect with
the Oregon Railway & Navigation
Co. We will also tie onto t., Han
ford Power & Transportation Co.
lines. We have great faith in our
railroad commission and we believe
they are going to give us joint rates.
That is what the people OF Washing
ton demand and it will aid us in
choosing our friends.
Our friends in Portland are very
anxious to open business relations
with the Big Bend country. They
have been over the ground and they
are astonisned that large, ric:l
country like this should have remain
ed so long without transportation.
They realize that the state should
have a north and south road east of
the mountains and this will be of
great advantage to them and our
selves.
1.-The survey of our line will be
completed in about week or tA-
days and will proceed at once to
procure right of way and terminals.
The Big Bend farmer has waited long
and patiently for some relief and
they are ali heart and soul with US
in this work

CID CASE THRAsHED OVER.
Haiti-Germany Contention Not Liable
to Serious Sequence

Believing in the justice of its position the
Haitian government does not expect any
serious difficulty with Germany growing out
of certain transactions of Hermann & Co,
German bankers of Port au Prince. and a
syndicate of Haitians, Germans and Others
who received considerable sums from Haiti
in cash and bonds on account of various
public improvements. Mr.. Leger. the Hal
tian minister to the United States. has
been kept fully informed as TO the facts IN
the case. which Is an old one and which
twice has been before the Haitian courts,
Haiti in both instances being sustained in
her contentious
The whole trouble arises out of the al
legations on the part of Haiti that the syn
dictate and the house of Hermann & Co.
received sums in excess of those to which
they were entitled on account of an alleged
conspiracy, which. il is stated by Minister
Leger involves former minister of
finance. After the case was tried in the
Haitian courts the Hermanns were ordered
10 refund a part of the moneys received
by them, as Well TO pay $1,000 damages
and fine of $500. but. it is stated the
Haitian government. in a spirit of con-
citation. remtted three-fourths of both the
damages and the fine. The amount which
the court ordered the banking house to pay
back was Sl3JGO in cash, but the Haitian
government expressed its willingness to
take one-third of it in cash and the balance
in certain government bonds which had
been turned over in payment for the work
That offer the ,Hermanns refused to accept,
insisting that they should be allowed to
pay the whole amount in bonds. AS. the
Haitian government feels that it would
suffer considerable loss thereby that
proposition has been declined. Hermann
I d Co. then. laid the matter before the
German minister, and the whole subject
is being thrashed out by the two govern

Cracllsmen early this morning forced an
entrance into the Pleasantvile post Office

boring a hole in the safe door, filled it with
nitroglycerin and fired it with an electric
battery. The front of the safe was blown
to pieces and nearly all the letter boxes
were blown out of shape. The interior of
the office is complete wreck. The safe

it was not crowded either, because they
needed very little room They do not be-
long to any opera company, and they could
not be kept out under the contract labor
laws They were not sent to Ellis Island
and the immigration inspectors did not
seem to be aware of their arrival, although
appraisers from the customs house went
over to the docks of the North German
Lloyd Steamship Company and checked
them off on long manifests as rapidly as
they were landed. Every one of these Ger

United States and the managers in charge
did not seem to have any doubt as to their
ability to find them.
AS fast as they were checked Off by the
customs house clerks they were quickly
transferred to large covered vans which
were heated with Oil stoves In order that
the vocalists might not catch cold or get
sore threats by the sudden change from

Canary Islands still. but our supply comes
from Germany. where. in the neighborhood
of the black forest, they have been bred
in large numbers since the fourteenth and

in the hands of women and girls, in the
