Burbank & Amos, leading real eS-
tate men of this part of the valley,
are still selling land to the new
corners. A few people of this Sec

Frank G. Palmer. formerly of We

people of Cashmere have made four
churches grow where only one grew
before" For several years the only
place of worship in the city was the

were presided over by the venerable

Gum of this city. Within the past
few months almost, organizations
representing the Methodist, Church

of Cashmere--or to any part of the
Wenatchee valley for that matter,
cannot but fill one with enthusiasm.
Here is what F. F. Rexford does with
