Players in the "Oniy Way on Sat.
urday night.
This marked the close of the
Brandons engagement in Wenatchee
and Saturday nights show was by
far the best given by the company
Eince its opening play on Monday
night.
The pathetic death of White Fawn
the squaw, in the last act left hardly
dry eye in the house. The wild
western stage settings, the cowboy
costumes, and camp life scenery
made a great hit with the audience
and established the Brandon COM

goers.

marvellous results in fruit raising,
far exceeding the most hopeful cal
culations, where one acre, in bearing
fruit during the year 1906, produced
as high as $4,000 in profit from the
fruit sold from single acre-or a
profit larger than a whole section
of $40 acres of fine grain land in the
east-it is necessary not only to have
a soil and climate combining the ex-
traordinary fertility and warm sun
shine of the Columbia river and its
tributary valleys, but to plant the
proper varieties of fruits and give
them the careful cultivation and at
tention that are absolutely neces-
sary to secure these colossal returns.
Wonderful Profits.
1t is no uncommon thing now, in
certain irrigated districts of the state
OF Washington, to see 5 or 10 acre
farm bring a net income of from
$500 to $4,000 per year and oftimes
far more for their fortunate owners.
A newspaper in one of these hustling
irrigated towns recently published a.
photograph of dozen or more of
the owners of these five and ten acre
fruit farms seated in their automo-
biles-for the owner of five or ten
acre fruit farm is far more able to
indulge not only in the ordinary ne

than would be the owner of bonan-
