MEAD OPPOSES
STATE DIVISION
Agitation Started at Spokane Declared
Useless-Says Plan Must Sure
ly Fall Through.

NORTH YAKIMA, April 14.-Ac-
companied by small party of Of
ficials, Governor Mead reached North
Yakima yesterday afternoon from
Spokane. In his party were Matt
Piles, chairman of the state board of
control; ]. H. Davis and H. T. Jones,
members of the board; Samuel c.
Lancaster, consulting engineer from
the good roads bureau of the agri-
cultural department, and julius A.
little, the Spokane architect, who
will have charge of the plans for the
state fair grounds.
The visitors were met at the train
by large delegation of North Yak
ina citizens, headed by committee
of the Boosters club, consisting OF
Senator w. j. Reed, chairman, Rep
resentative Sam G. Cameron, A. B.
Weed, Frank A. Horsiey, H. C. Lucas
and l.. o. Janeck.
The Commercial club gave a
smoker tonight in their honor. The
governor spoke to large gathering
of Yakimans. He said in part:
THE agitation for the subdivision
OF Washington into new state is
not only undesirable, but uncalled for
as well.
''The proposition Of forming new
state was mentioned at Spokane.
don't object to giving my opinion OF
the proposition, which is that 1t is
little more than a mere dream. II
is scarcely worth discussion. The
history of the United States will show
at the outset how impracticable such
division would be.
The opposition aroused would be
too great to carry the project
through. Many other states, notably
Texas, have seriously considered the
matter of dividing themselves into
smaller sections. but almost invari-
ably the thing has fallen through. Ir
Texas the agitation reached its height
at the time of slavery, and even then
the proposition was not considered
favorably. Today the people OF Texas
rejoice in the vast extent Of their
state

Polo Game.

The polo game on Friday even
ing, played to determine the cham
pionship between the Regulars and
the High School, was a fight to a
finish for both sides. 1t was a very
fast game and closely contested, be-
ing the last game of the three with
the High School, whose team won the
first of the three games. The school
boys have given the Regulars a
harder fight than any other team
that has played them. The score
was 8 to in favor of the Regulars.

MERCHANTS WANT
MARKET DAY
Worlds Plan For Occasional Com
munity Reunions Meets With
Approval of Business Men.

The Worlds editorial of Saturday
anent the institution of another mar
ket day has started lively discussion
among the merchants and business
men of Wenatchee. A few of the
more prominent local captains of in
dustry were interviewed over the tel
ephone this morning, and were al
most invariably in favor of inaugu-
rating general market day along
the lines suggested in the Worlds
editorial. Suggestions of all sorts
were received, some of them partic-
ularly pertinent:
Charles F.. Brown said: "You bet;
I'm in favor of general market day.
Think we should hold the first one
about the middle of May. Get the
community together, let the people
get acquainted with each other. It'll
mean better business for everybody"
Mr.. Brown has always been a lead
er In public movements of this kind.
He was member of the committee
which managed the Harvest Festival
last fall, which met with such signal
success
John A. Gellatly was called up, and
fell readily in with the plan. Its all
~Ht. only it must be properly ma
aged said Mr.. Gellatly. Arrange
ments must be carefully made for
looking after the comfort of the peo-
pie, once we get them here. It will
mean a big crowd, which is no easy
matter"
U. X. Lail, of the Wenatchee Fur
niture company, said that back in
old Kaintuck they pulled off fancy
stunt of this sort, and it was howl
ing success. Four counties there as
sociated themselves together, and
held general market days once
week, rotating from one county to
another. II think Saturday the best
day for Wenatchee." said Mr.. Lail.
1--WE got together back there, and
made the county court day. as it was
called, bowling success. The peo-
pie swarmed in from miles around,
gossiped, swapped anything from a
horse to jack-knife, got acquaint-
ed, and helped promote the interests
of the whole community.
Il think Wenatchee could do the
same thing; turn the brass band out,
pull off baseball game, and let the
visitors enjoy themselves. We had a
regular trading alley there for those
who wished to trade horses, and it
was crowded with wagons and teams
on every occasion"
H. C. Littlefield said the plan was
a good one. I'm heartily in favor of
it," said he. There should be a
competent committee appointed to
handle the plan properly, and the
committee should not be asked to
work for nothing. Pay them for
their time Get the market day by
all means.
l. N. Neubauer recalled the success
of the previous Market Days held in
Wenatchee, and says the institution
should be revived by all means "I
should like to see the same sort of
plan carried out that we enjoyed
here once before" said Mr.. Neu-
bauer. Turn the rooms of the Com
mercial Club open to the use of the
visitors; let them spread a big bas-
ket dinner and enjoy themselves.

The Wenatchee Canning company
elected officers for the ensuing year
at a meeting held Friday night.
w. R. Prowell becomes president;
F. w. Hoffman, vice-president; F. W..
Arnold, secretary and treasurer, and
will also act as manager; Lee r. Gill
lette, in charge of machinery.
The affairs of the canning company
have been placed on sound financial
basis, and every indication now
points to highly successful business
season during 1907.
$4,000 has been spent in finishing
the building and plant, the former
now measuring 137x216 feet. THE
plant is divided into two departments
the first devoted to the canning in
dustry. and the second to ice-making
and cold storage.
Last year the canning company put
up about ten thousand dollars worth
of fruit, Notwithstanding the fact
that the price of fruit was very high,
and the cannery not particularly ac-
tive on this account and on account
of the unfinished ice plant.
The cold storage system is of the
latest model, and is proving decid-
ed success. AS this is essentially a
fruit-growing community the need
and the possibilities of plant such
as this >is apparent. About 10000
boxes of apples are still in storage.
During the canning season the We
natchee Canning company will man

Origin Of Valentines.

A fact in natured history. to-wit that
birds in southern Europe pair about the
middle of February. is said to have in
spired custom of the ancient Romans to
which the origin of the modern valentine
can undoubtedly be traced. At the feast
of Lupercalia, held in honor OF the great
god of Pan. the names of the virgin daugh-
tiers of Rome we're put in box and drawn
therefrom by the young men. Each youth
was bound to offer gift to the maiden
who fell to his lot, and to make her his
partner during the time of the feast. How
this secular custom became allied to the
name of a saint is altogether different
matter st. Valentine was bishop of
Rome during the third century. He is
said to have been man of amiable nature
and most eloquent of speech, wherefore
he was very successful in consulting the
pagan Romans to Christianity. Marquis
Aurelins was then emperor, relentless
prosecutor of the christians, and by his
order the bishop was beheaded. The date
of his death was Feb. ~, zoo A. d. We
find the statement in Archbishop Wheat
ley's illustrations of the Book of Common
PRAYER" that EST. Valentine was man of
admirable parts and so famous for his love
and charity that the custom of choosing
valentines upon his festival took HE rise
from thence" But probably the connec-
ton of name is wholly due to coincident
of date. When the saints name was
placed in the church calendar the day of
his death was made festival to Offset that
of Lupercalia. on the 18th. In Allen
Buffers Lives of the Saints" We read
that the Jealous christian fathers tried to
substitute the names of saints for those of
girls in the lottery game. but without
success. $50 the valentine" custom
spread from Rome through Europe to
Great Britain always in high favor, and
later, in the form of sending tender mis-
sives, came to America and down to the
present time.

he is. He who owns farm has but little
to worry about as compared with his
brother who is engaged in other lines of

clothes. At the bank his credit IS usually
good. There is no debiting of an interest

butter that we could make Let US take
up the question at our next meeting of the

done. We have been in correspondence
with o. N. Durham, Of the Dacotah Lum.
Der Co. and his view at the present time,
tho he is very anxious to get the creamery
in operation here. and from an impartial
standpoint is that it would be better for
the farmers of this valley to ship their
cream to the Missouri River Produce Co.
at Bismarck, at least until more COWS are
availa lie. This company has offered
within IN cents of the New York marke,

Spring will soon be here and if we are
going run our creamery we must get busy.

Every farmer in Golden Valley aims to en-.

been true of this country may be expected
of it. The only possible drawback for this
fertile valley would be dry season occas,
ionally. it being the remembrance OF
certain seasons past when dry weather
prevailed in all western United States
At such time instead of depending on his
grain crop the farmer has his dairy. his
fatted cattle, poultry. etc. to fall back on.
If it is not profitable to operate our cream
cry this year we hope every farmer will
consider the offered prices of the Bismarck
company and begin their dairy this coming
spring, but first let US see what can be
done with the Beach creamery. 1t is our
opinion that it would be paying property
