Just as he was preparing to leave
the station a freight train, which had
been switching in the yards, ap-

fright. Instead of running away
from the approaching car the fright

lines. As it was one wheel of the
wagon was reduced to wreckage, and
Lasich given jolting up. He jump

horses by the heads to prevent them
from getting under the car wheels.
Securing another wheel, he threw

Getting a Good Ready On.

The amateur athletes are already
in training for the 4th of July con-
tests. Late yesterday evening a rep
resentative of the World passed the
fair grounds (that were) and saw
a number of try outs" Two boys
with legs bound awkwardly together
were scrambling through the alfal-
IA, working up speed for the great
three-legged race. Others, in attire
scarcely noticeable, chased them
selves about the weedy old race
course, acquiring wind and speed
for the endurance contests.
The fourth OF July events promise
to be unusually entertaining, consid-
ering the amount OF interest shown
already.

Several other cars are to be sent

This business is in addition to the
heavy shipments made daily to the
Seattle market. Deputy Fruit Inspec-
tor Pendleton estimates that there
are six carloads of Strawberries COM

local sources, the greater part from
Vashon Island. These six cars rep

ARRIVES IN
BETTER SHAPE
Fruit Inspector Tells of Vast I'm
prOvement Resulting in
Better Returns

w. c. Pendleton, of the local in
speetion force, and formerly of We
natchee, states that there is now ar
irving in the Seattle market about
80 per cent. more produce of all
kinds than has ever come here at a
corresponding time of year in the
past. This growth is attributed to
the growth of population both of the
city and of the surrounding terri
tory.
Notwithstanding the great growth
in the amount of produce handled,
Mr.. Pendleton states that not one
tenth of the amount of the stuff con-
demned last year is coming under
the ban this sec son.
''It is all the result of more care
full methods of taking care of the
trees and handling and packing the
stock" said Mr.. Pendleton. Where
one man sprayed his trees last year,
twenty-five are doing so this season.
This applies not only locally but in
all quarters from which we have re-
ports. The result of this extra care
show in the small quantity con-
demned and in the better sale and
higher prices of the product The
farmers are learning that it pays to
be careful both in the growing and
in the packing of fruit"
The Vashon Island Fruit Growers
Association yesterday sent from Sc
attle en- route to the Dakotas the
second full carload Of Strawberries
sent into that territory this year.

SELL 4 CLAIM
FOR $4,000
Chelan Butte Strike Promises To
Reveal a 'MOnt de OrO''-
Excitement Runs High.
$4,000!

This is the sum that has been paid
for a claim in the Lake Chelan min
ing district. From reports received
here today the Kingman and Per-
shall claim on Chelan butte was sold
yesterday to a Mr.. Foreman of Sc
attic, for $4,000. The purchaser is
a miner of experience, originally
from Denver, where he made his
money in mining. He is brother
in-law of Druggist G. l.. Richard
son of Chelan.
The sale has caused no small
amount of excitement owing to the
fact that the price paid is the best
evidence of the possibilities of the
country.
Before selling the claim the own
ers had taken out 1900 pounds of
ore which they valued at s1.25 a
pound.
Myrl Higley, who has been over
the camp and who is in the city to-
day, is very enthusiastic over the
developments in that region
Ansel Griggs of this city. who
owns a claim states that it would
take twice the amount paid for the
kingman and Pershall claim to in
terest him enough to part with his
claim, which lies half mile distant
The sale of the claim to a mining
man like Foreman has caused the
people of this vicinity to look with
the greatest favor upon the new dis
coveries, and the fact that the sum
paid for this claim was so large
means that activity will not cease in
the development of the Chelan dis
tricf
Was Among the First.
The claim sold was one of the
first ones staked and the owners at
once went to work on developing
the prospect. The mine is now so
well thought of that it is guarded
night and day so that no piece of
mineral can be carried away.
The early reports of the richness
of the strike in the Chelan region
are now fully confirmed, and there
are many who believe that the Che
Ian mining district Is destined to be-
come one of great Importance.
Jumping Claims.
Many of those who staked claims
early in the first rush neglected to
observe the strict letter of the law
in regard thereto, and are now suf-
fering the result of their careless
ness, as many of the claims are be-
ing jumped.

AUTOS DEFACE PARKS.
Commissioner Herman Says Roads
Dire Worn Out-POicing Bad.

Park Commissioner Herman in speaking yester-
day of the condition of the cty's parks, said that
two things very detrimental to his work have hap
pened within recent years The first of these, he
said was the abolishng of the park police as a
separate force under the direction of the Park
Commissioner The other was the admission OF
automobiles to Central Park.
IF I am in this office another year I shall go
Albany and ask for the restoration OF the police
squad and, no matter how unpopular the measure
may be- I will endeavoT have the old reguIa-
tion against automobiles putin force again. WEen
that matter was left TO the departments discre-
ton there q local ordinance prohibiting the
motor vehicles from coming into the park
when the automobile devotees brought about
the passage of the law giving them entry, they
should have been consistent and urged extra
appropriation to rebuild the drives.
They make q bad matter by putting
chains their wheels to prevent skidding. II
asked TO remove the chains because they tear the
surface of the road, the auto owners ask me If
the surface Of the roads is of more Importance
than their lives. and assure that riding with
out chains would be dangerous It wouldn't be
dangerous If they paid any attention TO the speed
laws"
In regard to the park patrol. the Commissioned
said that the parks needed patrolmen who knew
and could appreciate them. At present. he said.
the men transferred TO the park from pre-
cincts where their work had been of entirely
different character, and that soon as they began
to learn something about their posts they were
transferred again.
Another thing which is needed in Central Park.
according to Mr.. Herman, is an entire resurfac-
Ing. He estimated that the cost of this would
amount TO about S15000O and that 1t would require
about a years work to accomplish it. The soil of
the park in his opinion. is out. and he thinks
that If the sod should all be ploughed under and
then covered with a new and fertile top soil the
trees would then get the nourishment they need
and the lawns would look fresh and green as
any to be found around New York The Commits
sioner said that the hardest problem he had TO
solve was the question of to what extent the park
should be Il playground a park pure and simple.
