GENIUS

Oh, some there are with beauty bright
And they are lust Of eyes;
And some who blind us with the mind
- Our spirit deifies;
But genius is the great white light
Nor mind nor beauty buys.
And some will play a wanton air
To ca ch tn" vagrant soul;
c~Eie find II sweet with dancing feet
To foot II tcGHrd the goal;
But he who hears the whirling spheres
Can ne'er again be whole.
Oh. he who hears the whirling spheres
Where'er his steps have trod,

With wings bis feet are shod,

MIRAGE

sec you as I saw you then. The sky
Was luminous behind you, and the hills
Were purple as the asters in your arms
And shadow-swe.t as autumn wine that nils
october's heaker to its golden rim.
A bronzed bramble clingng to your skirt
Adown the dusty leaf-red road you came,
With scarf of misty river green, and hair
Loose-caught and smould'ring with the sunset
flame
And leaping like the torch of Phaeton
/ see you saw you then. The sky
Was luminous behind you, and your eyes
Were purple the asters In your arms,
And shadow-sweet as autumn dreams that rise
Unbidden the heart of loneliness

COUNCIL DECIDES
ON PUMPING PLANT
COMMITTEE HAS BEEN APPOINT.
ED TO INVESTIGATE TAKING
WATER FROM THE WE
NATCHEE RIVER

At special meeting of the council
held last night at the city hall the
decision was reached that a pump
ing paint is the best and most FEAST
Bile solution of the problem of a water
Isupply for Wenatchee. In accordance
with this hypothesis the water COM
mittee of the city council, consisting
OF Councilmen Harlin, Fuller and
Wildberger, decided to take trip
to the Wenatchee river this week for
the purpose OF determining, If pos
|sible. the amount of power that might
be generated by the fall in the We
natchee river and whether or not it
would be sufficient to pump a supply
of water adequate for the needs of
the city. The trip by the councilmen
in their quest of knowledge will be
taken about Friday or Saturday and
they will be accompanied by City En-
gineer Roy Zahren Mr. Zahren in
his official capacity will perform a
few engineering stunts in the endeav-
or to learn how far up the river the
water must be taken out for the pro-
posed system and whether the power
may be generated by an electric pow
t er plant could pump the water to the
required level.
| The proposition now fostered By
the council is to install a power
plant somewhere between Nj. Horan's
ranch on the Wenatchee and Mon
itor. In the event that this is done
/ the reservoir will be situated at the
top of the hill where the Wenatchee
Canal company's water supply leaves
the pipes, the fall from that place
to the town being sufficient to meet
L all requirements.

MITCHELL WRITES OF
WEnATCHEE VALLEY
SECRETARY OF THE NATIONAL
IRRIGATION ASSOCIATION
PRAISES HOME OF THE
BIG RED APPLE

The following article is taken from
the Washington ID. Co. Herald in
which it was published on Sunday,
December 16. 1t also appeared in
other large eastern papers together
with half tone reproductions of
Wenatchee valley orchard and ranch
scenes. The article was prepared by
Guy E. Mitchell, secretary of the
National Irrigation association. Mr.
Mitchell is in a position to do mere
for the Wenatchee valley than most
other men and he is making a great
effort to place the advantages OF the
valley before the rest of the country.
Such articles as this published in the
Washington Herald and the recent
article in Maxwell's Taiisman entitled
"Wenatchee, An Ideal Homecroft
Village are advertisements for We

sis would cost the city hundreds of
dollars.

The road will be built along the

The right of way men are now busy
at work on the east side of the Okan-

the Indians who have a1lotments on

1t is feared that great difficulty
will be experienced in securing the
requisite number of men and it is
reported that small army of Greeks

where they have been doing similar
work the past year.
From what can be learned work
will be begun at both ends of the
line and will be rushed through to
completion so as to be ready for
business by the fall of the present
year. "A large quantity of snow at
the present time will prevent the
beginning of any work for perhaps
thirty days, but after that time it

The orchards and vineyards OF the
great Southwest have been partrayed
as the place where lands reach their
highest cultural development and
most astounding value. AS against
the Eastern farm. worth $3.50 to
5000 an acre, choice orange land in
Southern California is valued at
81 900 and even $500 an acre. And
this does not seem so highly unrea-
sDnable when it is remembered that
oranges. figs, almonds, Malaga
grapes, pomegra,sates, and. other
tropical products grow there.
Yet there are orchards in the great
Northwest which are esteemed as
highly and yield as golden a stream
from peaches, apricots, berries, and
other common fruits as has ever
been claimed for the orange. Take
the Yakima valley, or the Wenatchee
valley, or a dozen other mountain
valleys in Washington or some of
the finely developed fruit regions in
Montana or Colorado. There you can
find men growing wealthy on returns
from ten and even five-acre orchards.
Perhaps the valley of the Wenatchee,
in Central Washington. affords one
of the best examples of the fruit pos
sibilities of the -situat-
ed in the midst of that region which
Daniel Webster described as INT

and wilder men, The wonderful
development of this valley has been
brought about entirely by private
irrigation development. yet the gov

er it an almost ideal irrigation COM
munity.

In the first place, there is a splen-
did water supply. To the west are
the cleaning snow-fields of the Cas-
cade Mountains whose glacial
streams feed the swift-running We
natchee river, which, as it emerges
from the valley, becomes tributary
of the great Columbia The valley is
sheltered from the bleak winds by
the surrounding hills, so that fruit
has never been known to be dam
aged by cold. There are no great
farms on the Wenatchee The entire
valley is not SO large as some of the
vast bonanza farms of the west, but
every acre is made to produce it's ut
most, and land values reach $1,000,
$1,000 and $500 per acre, not
based on the value of houses and i'm

tive capacity Of the soil. Apples,
peaches, apricots. berries, canta-
loupes, prunes, pears. and all the
large and small fruits yiela profit
of from 5000 to $500 an acre. Why
then should not land, five acres OF

LOST HORSE AND BUGGY.

Yesterday evening r. p. Grover OF
Mesa and George Kepner OF Roosevelt
hired horse and buggy Of Dan Hib-
bert and drove over to Tempe TO attend
the meeting of the X. of p. lodge at
that place.
They hitched their horse on the
street until after the meeting, which
lasted about two hours. When they
returned their horse and buggy were
gone.
The men were very much worried
over the matter thinking that some
thief had been getting in his work. So
they reported the loss TO the police and
hired a rig and driver TO bring them
back to Mesa.
This morning, Mr.. Grover was re-
lieved TO learn that the horse had only
gotten loose and wandered away.
The livery man of Tempe called up
Dan HILBERT, late last night, and re-
ported that the lost horse was safe in
his stables and Dan went over at once
and brought the animal back TO Mesa.
