Crop Will Be Late, but Other Ber.
ries Are Plentiful-General
Crop News.

KIONA, May 27.-W. H. Scott,
who has charge of the strawberry
crop on the Dick Hill ranch, has
shipped twenty crates of strawberries
to the Sound the last week. They
were of fine quality and brought the
highest prices. The strawberry crop
here will be late, owing to the kill
ing frost of three weeks ago, but
there will be a considerable quantity
of fruit shipped from here.
Gooseberries are now in market
and the yield is good. Blackberries
will be plentiful and SO will prunes.
but most varieties of fruit suffered
severely by frost. Farmers here have
planted cantaloupes, potatoes and
other late crops since the frost, and
expect to realize good profits from
these products this season.
The heavy rains of last Saturday
night and Sunday were just what the
wheat farmers in Horse Heaven and
Rattfesnake were wishing for, and
the grain fields are in splendid con-
dition.

Some time ago G. w. Drinkwine

effects, his furniture, and everything
that was his, and set out to find a
better place to live.
California was explored, and Ida

ers other alleged lands of promise:
but in the fullness of time Mr.. Drink
wine came to one wise conclusion
and back to Wenatchee.
Yesterday he bought five acres of
land across the Wenatchee river,
from Fuller & Russell. paying $1,000.
I've got to begin today, buying nv
stuff all over again. he said to Mr..

PULLING OFF HIGH
JINKS in PARK

The park police are kicking.
They say the public is abusing its

That on Friday night after the

COLUMBIA BRIDGE
is IN DANCER
Misleading News Item in Seattle
Psper-High Water Merely
Delays Work.

The following is taken from Sun
days Seattle Po5t-Intellige con-
cerning the new bridge being built
over the Columbia at this point:
Work on the highway bridge
across the Columbia river at Wenat-
chez, which has met with various de-
lays since the beginning of construc-
ton fifteen months ago, has again
been interfered with, according to Ira
Thomas, a well-known Wenatchee at
torney, and will not be resumed for
some months.
The high water on the Columbia
river last week, says Mr.. Thomas,
tore out the forty feet of false work
supporting the steel spans under con-
struction from the western shore to
the piers. Some of the structural
steel went into the river, and the re-
mainder. without support, is sagging
and may fall soon The wooden false
work supporting the iron work is
giving way under the rush of waters,
and it is only matter of time when
the whole structure will topple into
the river. The workmen building
the bridge have refused to venture
on it since the accident and have
been laid off. AZ soon as the bridge
falls the steel will be recovered and
the bridge competed before the high
water of next spring.
The delay in the building of the
bridge means loss to the owners of
lands on the east side of the river.
The Wenatchee Canal company plans
to siphOn water across the river by
means of the bridge, when completed
to water 5000 acres.
Notwithstanding the accident to
the bridge, which would be one of
the principal assets of the town, We
natchee is growing rapidly, accord
ing to Mr.. Thomas. Settlers are
buying homes and property values
are rising. Residences building in
the town at present total a value of
$1o8,900, and lands that could have
been had two years ago for $500 an
acre are being held for four times
that sum-
Insofar as it states that injury has
been done to the falsework of the
new structure, and that work will
be delayed in consequence of the high
water, 1t is true. But Mr.. Thomas
was apparently misquoted in the
statement that las soon as the bridge
falls the steel will be recovered" etc.
as the contractors feel no alarm a.
all for the safety of the structure,
and will resume work as soon as the
present high water subsidies. Some
six or eight men are acting as watch
men now on the big bridge, and
steam is kept up in the two donkeys
for use in hauling piles, etc., for use
in Strengthening the false work.
Even should the river rise much
higher, which is not anticipated, the
current would set to the opposite
side and the bridge as it stands
would not be further endangered.
