OPPORTUNITIES IN WENATCHEI

The gems of success like the gems
of rare value lie not on the surface,
you muse sink shaft. Strangers
passing through Wenatchee would
DO well to investigate the numerous
opportunities here for success in the
various fields of usefulness which
the country offers. Merely passing
through, or being an observer from
the outside does not enable one to
see the opportunities here. The city
is growing fast and will continue to
grow and to all those who locate
here now will be granted the priv
ileges which accrue TO those OF stay
ing qualities in any community.
Many opportunities are overlooked
here because they appear trivial in
the first place. Any opportunity,
however, is not large in the first
place, not always. One grain of sand
helps cover the seashore, one drop
of water is felt in a hogShead, one
penny lends size to bank account,
a spark of fire gives light to the
world Opportunities here are press
ing upon each others heels. Who
will be the ones TO avail themselves
of them? Many people look to far
away fields for success. The way
at hand, and play the game.

Secretary Taft's Columbus speech
constitutes a remarkable contribu-
ton to the literature of the Repub-
. lican party. 1t deals with railroads.
the trusts and the tariff, and Incl
dentally with the subject of swollen
fortunes" With that perfect candor
which is his chief characteristic, Mr.
Taft makes complete profession of
faith and criticises with severity, but
not with eXtraovagence, the evils Of
railway management and the culp-
ability of the men whose cupidity
and greed for gain have forced the
federal government to increase its
control over the highways of the ma
ton He explains with eXtraordin-
airy lucidity the purpose and effect
of the railway rate bill, points out
the defects in the Elkins bill and
exposes the fallacy of the argument
that the Elkins measure was suffic-
lent to correct all evils without fur
Their legislation. He sternly con-
dennis those trust officials who have
used their extraordinary power to
crush out legitimate competition and
TO practice extortiOn on the people.
He regards progressive Inheritance
taxation, to be imposed by the states,
as the best remedy for swollen for
tunes and the federal income tax
he would resort to only in the event
of necessity for extraordinary rev.
enues.
Secretary Taft's keynote speech is
eloquent only in so far as. the eX
preston of convictions which can
have been arrived at only after pro-
found thought in the simplest terms
and with convincing earnestness is
eloquent There are no bursts of or
atory, no flights of rhetoric in his
declaration of his convictions with
perhaps one exception the preoration
in which he declares his admiration
for Theodore Roosevelt and all that
he has done for the Republican party.

Taft pays TO the arguments of Will

AT Cripple Creek"

E. J. Carpenter has in Hal Reds
at Cripple Creek in every sense an
idyl of the Rocky mountains. 1t is a
simple story of Western life told in its
authors best style and is dramatic
gem of great power and beauty. Its
pathos moves the heart with it's ten
der emotion and there are number Of
amusing comedy scenes interspersed
through the play that serve to bright
en- the intense situations upon which
the drama is founded. The types of
characters are true to the locality-the
rearing slopes of Colorado's lofty
peaks. Its men and women move in
an atmosphere of true nobility-the
nobility of honest purpose. courage and
sympathy. Joe Mayfield, the gold
miner, whose heart is big enough to
shield the orphan and protect the weak
and down trodden. whose charity is a
sermon to mankind, is the leading
character of the play. and Mr.. Reid has
given the stage a type of American of
which his countrymen may well be
proud. This play will be presented
at the Gennett next Tuesday night.

effort was made to find the where
abouts Of the building the first paper
was printed in, but without avail.
Last week, however, Chas. Adams, of

was built as w. H. Mlller's claim
shanty townsite Office, postofice,

the foot of Main street, where the
first artesian well was located. 1t
was moved from there to where the
Henshaw livery barn now stands,
and used as saloon. Thence it be-
came part of dwelling house in
South Miller, from which place Mr.
Adams took it to his farm, as part
of his first house. In this building
his youngest daughter Thelma was
born, and she is now pupil in the
Miller schools. The old building is
now used as granary. AS soon as
opportunity permits, the photo
