Dear Sir:
Believing that you are not ac-
Quainted with the conditions exist
ing in that locality as regards freight
charges on goods shipped to your
city from San Francisco and COM
mon points, We will say that the

charges s21S for q car load of har-
vesting machinery from San Leandro
Or Stockton, Calf, while tie North
ern Pacific charge TO Wilbur, which
is directly opposite on the Northern
Pacific S160 on the same car.
This is and does place your farm
ers at disadvantage of SIS a car
load in favor of the farmers living
along the line of the Northern Pa
cific, and the same applies to main
line points such as Ritzville, Sprague,
Cheney, etc.
We have tried for the last fifteen

WHY ANNEXATION?

A definite movement is now on foot
having for its definite object the en-
largement of the city limits to take
in territory adjacent to the present
city of Wenatchee on the north.
The World was asked this morn
ing the question which is invariably
asked on such occasions, where is
the benefit to be derived by such an
neXation."
In these few words it will endeav-
or to point out the necessity for such
a move.
FIRST, WE ARE ONE CITY. We
have the same hopes, the same needs
and the same destiny. What is good
for the city proper is good for those
not yet within the city limits.
SECOND, COOPERATION is NEG
ESSARY..
To attain the highest state of de-
velopment both in and out of the
city those in the proposed new addi-
tlon ana those in the city proper
must work together. There are
questions such as city water, fire
protection, and in the future, police
protection, and other matters, which
We must work out together. There
are questions which the now being
discussed by the city council of We
natchee which are of vital interest
TO the people living outside of the
present city limits. The water cues
tion just now is being taken up. In
the proposed new addition there is
at present water system which in
the past has furnished the water nee
essary for that part of the valley.
But this is already inadequate and it
is only question of short time
until this local system viii fall far

years to induce the g. n Ry. Co. to
make a rate that will meet the COM
petition Of the other road on either
side of them, but have not yet been
successful. If you so desire. we
would suggest that you place the
Elnatter before your readers.
This is not our fight. as we can
ship our combined harvesters to
points on the other road directly op-
pocite and have ;nem hauled across,
but the injustice is being practieed
upon yourselves and the farmers,
who are the ones that keep up the
country and in fact the railroads
themselves
We have been after this as we say
fifteen years. We would now like to
have you help the matter along, and
do not stop by being turned down
the first time.
Yours truly,

BOOST YOUR COMMUNITY.

Tn every town there are some pup
lie spirited citizens who have the
hest interests of their town at heart.
Thew constantly preach the doctrine
of holding one another in whatever
&c for the advancement of the COM
munitv. When there happens to be
a good newspaper in that town the
co-operation of the publisher Is Sc
cured. and through its columns the
newspaper does yeoman service FOR
tho town. A sample of the work
the papers are doing for their re-
snective towns may be found in the
following clippings from the Wallu-
la Gateway:
Get interested in your town and
stand by it. If a rich man starts
proiect encourage him; if poor
man. help him. If you have means.
invest in something that will give
employment to people. Do not be
afraid to stick your hand in your
pocket. Do not kick on every pro-
posed Improvement simply because ii
is not at your own door. Do all
YOU can to beautify your town and
your property. Be friendly to every
one and courteous to strangers, and
never forget that you are a part OF
the town and that your own deport-
ment does it's share in giving to the
town it's character. Stand by all en-
terprising citizens, and be ready to
do something yourself, and don't
grumble or spend your time in
prophesying failures.
The foregoing paragraph is quoted
because it can be made to apply tC
the farming community just as much
as to the town or city. Each farmer
should feel it his bounden duty tC
boost the community in which he
lives, for it is by so doing that he IL
able to make the returns for him
self greater. There should be more
cooperation and working together
toward the same end among the
farmers. When the residents of the
rural communities realize this they
will find themselves making greater
progress and filling their pocket.

they work so much individually

The Interstate Commerce Comis-
sion is to be congratulated on the
first fights it has won in St. Paul
for the enforcement of the anti-re-
bate law. The officials have been
notified of the victory though none
of them were in court while the
suits We're being fought. The first of
them was the famous ''Omaho Grain
case" against the Chicago, St. Paul,
Minneapolis and Omaho line The
other against the Great Northern
Both of them were rebate cases in
which a rebate of " per cent per
bushel had been allowed on grain
under the guise of elevator charges.
The first suit was fought desperately,
and resulted in the infection of the
minimum penalty of $1,000 a count
on each of fifty counts, a total of
$50, 200 against the road and a SIM
liar amount against the general
freight agent. Seeing the first fight
won, the Great Northern came into
camp and plead guilty on each of
fifteen counts, likewise getting the
minimum penalty. Notice of appeal
was given in each case on the ground
that the Elkins law, under which the
conviction was secured, had been re-
pealed by the passage of the new
rate law. This appeal is a fighting
chance, and the Interstate Commerce
Commissioners do not think it can be

made to stick, for they point out that
the new rate law was never intended
to repeal the Elkins law, and the
court will not so construe it. If the
penalties can be enforced, it will do
more than anything else to break up
the practice of rebating, and it is to
be hoped that the court of appeals
will affirm the lower court.

R. E. HHys,
Dear Sir
| will try to write you a
short letter from the wilds of

There has not been any snow

still running on the pasture.

ed to feed them yet, 80 you see
that this country has w. Va,

There is plenty of work in
this part Of the country. can't
get men to do the work. The
financial panic doesn't seem to
have a.y effect on or cause any
slack i. work in this part of the
field, but farther south of here
in the Tulsa & Keiffer field it
has caused some what Of a shut
down. | see several of the w.
Va. boys out here and they all
seem to be we'll satisfied and like
this place better than they do
back east. The people here are
all clever and sociable but they
are of the old fashion, go easy
class. They do not farm much,
only enough to do them selves.
None to sell as a rule but as this
is a state now and the talk is
that the restrictions will be raised
that will give the eastern people
a chance to come in and settle
up the country and as the land
can gotten cheap this will be one
of the places for great opportuni-
ties and a good place for the
working man and / hope to see
more of the eastern people out
here. There is plenty of sport
out here, all kinds of game from
quail to deer ond plenty of them

and see five or six deer in the
run of a day, but it is some
trouble to kill one, that is, you

is just to keep the people from
