Paradise Valley.

Great is the noise and hurrah In
the real estate world about the rare
opportunities for investment in fruit
lands in, around and about Wenat-
chez and the Vale of Cashmere, and
justly so, of this there is little doubt,
and no dispute. However, let it not
be forgotten that at Paradise valley,
about three miles above Cashmere,
there are fruit lands that are. rarely
equaled and not surpassed in Chelan
county. With a deep, fertile, vol
canic soil, it has the elements which
make it most fit for the perfect
ing and coloring of the apple and
pear, apricot and peach. The hills
behind it protect it from the winds
of summer, permitting the trees to
maintain a beautiful symmetry and
erect growth, so pleasing to the eye.
Lying, as it does, Immediately under
the Peshastin ditch, it is assured
of permanent water rights. The soil
is of such a nature it does not re-
Quire more than half the water de-
manded by much of the soil in Che
Ian county 1t is the new Eldorado,
to which investors must soon turn
their faces, If they wish to get in on

the ground floor. All ready prices
are stiffening. Lands have been
sold at two hundred dollars per acre,
and are now held at advanced prices,
and looking upward. The scenery
here is beautiful and varied. The
Great Northern Railroad company is
planning in the near future to put
in a siding here, giving to this fair
valley equal shipping facilities with
any point on the road. A bridge
crossing the Wenatchee river at this
point makes possible a daily rural
mail route. With the opening of
the new road recently surveyed
through this district, will shortly
follow the now almost indispensable
telephone, and in the not distant fu-
ture, it is not rash to predict the
frequent passing of the modern cleo
trio car. A good school is maintain
ed here, the school building being
centrally located.

News received in Wenatchee today
indicates that the railroad strike, so
long threatened, may be averted af-
ter all. Several conferences were
held in Chicago yesterday. between
the Labor Commissioner and Chair
man Knapp.
1t is believed that terms mutually
satisfactory to both sides of the con-
troversy may be arrived at, and fur
Their contention avoided. 1t Is said
that the demand for nine-hour day
may be abandoned and that the men
may decide to accept less than the
IL per cent advance in pay that has
been insisted upon heretofore.

and Alaska's expenditures are not
easy to estimate. The northern dis
trict is expected to attempt to out
do all the other exhibitors.
Under a new law of the last legis-
lature, county commissioners are au-
thorized to spend an amount on
county exhibits equal to " mill,
based on the 1906 assessment. This
justifies an expenditure by the coun-
ties of the state of $265,000. Pri-
vt.te business firms making displays
probably will spend no less than this
amount and the management of the
exposition hopes to get not less,than
$1,250,O00 as an appropriation from
the federal government.
1t is impossible to estimate close
ly the small fortune the railroads
will spend in advertising matter and
the immense sums that will be in
volved in one way or another as ex-
position costs. If foreign govern
ments participate, the fairs outlay
will be greatly increased from a
source not actually depended upon.
More Stock to Sell.
1t is likely the remainder of the
unsold exposition stock will be put
on the market within short time.
The first stock was oversubscribed
and the capitalization of the expo
sition company was increased to
100000. OF this stock, 1860 was
100000. OF this stock $186,000 was
There are many big transportation
companies not represented in the ex-
position stock books and other
friends OF the fair who are willing
to expend still more money in fur
thering the interests OF the enter
prise. If this money can be had il
will go a long way toward making
the exposition a more magnificent

success than any other fair ever held
in the west.
An estimate of 100000 is made
as the number of persons who will
pay to visit the fair during the time
it is open. This is so per cent
increase over the number that saw
the Lewis and Clark exposition, but
the estimate is justified on the
ground that the 1909 fair will have
a more populous field from which to
draw.

MAY COST $1O,OOO,OOO.
Alaska Yukon-Pacifi Exposition Will
Be Expensive-StOck on Market

SEATTLE, April 2.-The Alaska
Yukon-Pacific Exposition may cost
$1O,OO0,00O. This is the estimate
that fair officials place on the sum
that will be spent by the corporation
itself, the various state exhibitors,
concessionaires, Alaska, the federal
government and such foreign coun-
tries as participate. The expenditure
of more than half this amount is as
sured by thes cope of the exhibitions
that are planned for the big enter
prise. The rest will be represented
by Incidental costs, partially borne
by visitors to the fair and in hun
dreds of incidental preparatory
measures by those people. or corpora
tions who will have to do, directly
or indirectly, with the fairs business.
1t is estimated the exposition will
cost the fair corporation s2.15S.000.
This represents the initial cost up to
the time the gates are throw. -yee<f,
the cost of operation and $4,000
of expense in clearing the grounds
and ending tie business of the ex-
position.
Share of the State.
The state has appropriated ST.
100000 of which amount 100000
is to be spent on state exhibit and
100000 for the erection of three
buildings that will ultimately be
turned over to the state university.
Oregon and California have each ap-
propriated $4,000, and it is expect
ed 100000 more will be appropriate
ed by other states. The concession
aires probably will spend $250,000

One of the pleasant and important
social events Of the week was the
marriage of Miss lone Wells to Ellis

AT the appointed time Miss Edith

tiful and impressive ceremony of the

HELD FOR DAKoTA's LOSS.
Captain Francke Accused of Gross
CarelesSness.

In an official communication to
Captain Emil Francke who was
commander of the ill-fated steamship
Dakota, wrecked on Kiukone reef,
coast of Japan, March 2, last, Geo.
Uhler, supervising inspector, general
steamboat inspection service of the
government, secerely censures him
on account of the loss of the ship.
The local board Of steamboat in
spectors at Seattle had investigated
the wreck of the Dakota and the
evidence taken reflected on Captain
Francke. The captain appealed to
Supervising Inspector General Uhler.
Mr.. Uhler, after having analyzed
thoroughly the evidence adduced at
the hearing, says in his letter to Cap
tain Francke:
81 am forced to the conclusion that
the stranding of the vessel and her
subsequent total loss was due entire
ly to your careless and Indifferent
as an hour before the dis
aster you assumed charge of the
watch, took the bridge and directed
the navigation of the ship yourself.
