Showed Him Big Ones.

c. G. Luthi, secretary of the Barth-
Olomow Company of Peoria, Illinois,
was guest of w. S. Gehr yesterday.
Mr. Gehr took the visitor about the
valley in his car. showing him how
apples grew in this favored coun-
try. At 81 Frances ranch Mr.. Luthi
was shown twenty-seven Wolfriver
apples which completely filled a reg
ulation box. He was amazed at the
enormous size of this fruit, but when
told moment later that Mr.. France
had previously found fifteen apples
of the same kind which filled a box
the visitor hastily crossed himself
and hurried from the Orchard-it
was too much.

The truth about the Wenatchee
avenue regrad has been hard to get
at.
It's been years since talk of i'm
proving the city, main thoroughfare
began. and yet there's nothing done.
Mayors and councilmen have come
and gone, and Wenatchee's Rialto is
as it was in the beginning. els now
and ever shall be" we hope not).
The persistent din raised by the
people who want to know what's do
ing on this public question has long
since ceased to worry the council
they'd all be locked up in the neur-
esthenic ward at Medical Lake now
if they gave ear to all the kicks that
have been registered.
The people who don't own prop
erty on Wenatchee avenue are kick
ing for the regrade and those who
; do own property are kicking against
it-which is only natural.
Parshall's store. for instance, will
be three steps above the new street
level: so also will the Rosenberg
building. The Eagle livery barn, the
postoffice or Rarey building, and
other buildings all the way down tC
the Chewawa Cafe will have to be
raised at least four or five feet, OF
else find themselves doing business
in a basement when the new level
is established.
Present Levels Conflict.

APPLE PRICE
YET. A MYSTERY
For Reasons of Their Own Directors
Of Fruit Growers Association
Withhold all Information.

Public interest still centers in the
sale of the big apple pool on Monday.
1t is known that nearly all of the
100 cars of fruit pooled were sold,
and it is rumOred on the street that
a good price was obtained.
But just what this price was is
still a matter of conjecture.
The officials of the Fruit Growers
Association are still Withholding this
, information, doubtless for good reas-
ons of their own.
The criticism in the street which
attaches to them on account of their
course in this matter may or may
not be justifiable in the light of later
Developments. z
The people, whose apples are tied
up in the pool are naturally anxious
to know how much money they re-
ceived for their crop. if sold; yet
when they joined the Association
they elected the present staff of Off
GERS to act for them, and in doing
so obligated themselves to support
! these same officials in any stand
they might take regarding the mar
keting of their respective fruit out
puts. So the various members of the
Association have no kick coming
that the news is Withheld from them.
The man in the street, who is not
affiliated with the association, is nat
urally interested to know the price
the crop brought, but is not in a
position to demand this inforamtion.
The report that deal" is being
consumated is generally discredited,
and most of the people ascribe only
good motives to the directors of the
Fruit Growers Association in hold
ing back information as 20 the big
sale.
The whole story will soon be made
! public.

MAIL ROUTE
IN NORTH HAND co.
Route to Extend Across the Co
With Side Delivery

Congressman G. II. Burke has
notified the Miller postofice that the
department has consented to issue
advertisements for bids on a new
mail route from Howell to Houdek.
This strip of country has had no mail
line since the Rec Heights olda line
was discontinued, the mail for
Houdek going via Highmore and
Tennis.
Under the proposed arrangement
the mail for northwest Hand county
will pass through the Miller Office
via Howell, thence over a connecting
line both east to Helmick and west
to Houdek. This line will complete
the best mail connections from the
county seat to all parts that Hand
County ever before had. We now
have five lines going out of the Mil
Ter office in as many directions, and
this last connecting line will nearly
cross the entire county in township
lis. All of these lines carry mail for
boxes along their routes, very
similar to the rural delivery.

fall he sold his improved farm south

But Mr. Spain is a cautions, con-

Hand county he took the precaution
to buy 800 acres Of raw land. He
offered this land for $40 per acre
then, but on his arrival home states
that it will go to $50 in Hand county

to sell his farm. He thinks both

KITTREDGE AFTER
LUMBER TRUST
South DakOta'S Senator Gives
Valuable Information

Among the most noteworthy con-
gressional action of any western
member in the present session of
congress is Senator Kittridge's res
olution, which passed the senate re-
Gently, calling for an investigation
of the lumber trust.
The Senator from South Dakota
went into the subject with his usual
care ana thoroughness. He dem
ostrated that a central head con-
trolled prices of lumber in all locali-
ties of the United States; that undue
influence, unfairness, and anything
necessary, was adopted by this trust
to force independent dealers to join
them or be prosecuted until compell-
ed to go out of the business.
If any law can be enacted and
enforced with a view of the greatest
good to the greatest number, it is
certainly time for the government
to do something with this oppressive
monopoly. The present prices of
lumber are exhorbtant, according
to the information given the senate
in Senator Kittredge's speech. He
traces the cost of lumber to a con-
dition ready for shipment, and
literally estimates it at about $l2
per 1000. He wants to know why
this lumber sells at $40 to $45 per
1000, to the consumer, and where
this profit goes.
Senator Kittridge has been work
ing upon this matter for two years,
and is of course prepared to back Up
what he says with all the proof tie
government needs in its investiga-
ton. His demand for an investiga-
ton is timely. The entire west,
especially, needs relief to continue
its progress and development, and it
is apparent that this republican west
is ready for the chances Of reciprocity
or even a repeal Of the tariff on
lumber.
