We have a denatured alcohol law in
force, but there is no need for every
one to go into the business OF making
the stuff. The country papers are full
of advice on the subject, each vieing
with the others in an effort to tell the
biggest yarns as to the great blessings
denatured alcohol is going to bring
to the doors of the farmers. There IS
no doubt that alcohol can and will be
used extensively, but the farmer
should always take these tales OF won
derful achievements with big grain
Of salt. Remember the old saying that

About a year ago The Ranch con-
tanned an article on the proposed open
ing of the Flathead Indian reservation
in Montana, in which it was stated the
opening would probably occur this
year. Two or three inquiries have
lately come to hand in reference to
this opening, but we happen TO have
no definite data at hand that throws
much light on the matter. However,
those who are interested should write
to the register of the United States
land Office at Kalispel, Montana, and
state what they want to know. This
is the land Office that has jurisdiction
over the Flathead reservation.
The Blaine Journal recently mention
ed the fact that from the ranch Of
Geo. W. Meyers, on Orcas Island, there
came into Bellingham 100 boxes Of
Wagner apples which sold for $1.40 per
box This price was paid for Mr.. Mey-
ers applies while other boxes in the
same market were selling at rs cents
to 81 per box The whole secret of
the higher price for the Meyer apples
is aptly told by the Journal in these
words I'VE will bet marbles to
chalk that Mr. Meyers gave the pack
ing of those $1.40 apples his best eff
fort, and that they were not simply
thrown into any old kind of box"
The commission of the state fair re-
Gently made it's report to the COVER
nor of this state, showing there had
been receipts amounting to $37, 891 80
and expenditures amounting to $42,-
090.67, leaving a deficit Of 81, 1858 to
be footed by the tax payers. The COM
mission explains this deficit by saying
that the fair was held during a week
when the weather was rainy and cold,
thus reducing the attendance and re-
ceipts from concessions, and, in ad-
dition, much money had been expend-
ed in making needed improvements to
the buildings and grounds. The COM
mission calls attention to the fact that
the buildings and grounds need atten-
ton very badly in the way of improve
ments. 1t certainly is a disgrace for
the great state of Washington to per-

Leonard Fowler, who has been Civ
ing to Wenatchee in The Republic the
best country paper of any spot on
earth, has fairly swept the publishing
world off it's feet with the most mag
nificent special number ever turned
out by anybody anywhere. From start
to finish, from cover to cover, 1t Is
wonder. We consider Leonard Fow-
ler's achievements in the Wenatchee
valley nothing short of miraculous.
When he started in at Wenatchee two
or three years ago, putting out tne
weekly, printed on book paper, pro-
fusely illustrated with high-claSs en-
cravings, experienced newspaper men
shook their heads sadly, because no
one believed such paper could be
continued in that new district OF COM
paratively small population. But he has
kept up the gait, has installed fine
newspaper and job printing plant, and
his enterprise is altogether the big
gest in Wenatchee, giving steady en-
ployment to a large number of people.
The Republic is the best advertisement
Wenatchee could possibly have, and
is worthy of the Warmest support.
Ezra Meeker, the well-known pioneer
whose home is few miles out OF Sc
attic, has performed a service for the
country, and especially for the west
ern country, that will go down the
annals of time as part of the history
of the Pacific northwest. Years ago,
when this section was a wilderness,
Meeker left his old home in Indiana
and, with other emigrants, travelled
across the continent by ox-teams,
traversing Oregon to the mouth Of the
Columbia, then heading for Puget
Sound. where he settled and prospered.
Years passed and Ezra Meeker saw the
old trail growing dim. The railroad
had long before superseded the OK
team and no more emigrants were trav,
ersing the old Oregon trail. To pre-
serve the trail to pOsterity Meeker de-
termined to retrace it in the same way
as he came, and as he went along he
would plant monuments every now and

trail for all time Months ago the old

BOUGHT THE TOWN
PosToFFlCE DEPARTMENT HAS
PECULIAR CASE.
OFFICE ON ROCKEFELLER ESTATE
War Veteran Not Allowed on the
Land and Can Not Get His Mail
Delivered There.

Washington, D. Can investiga-
ton has been ordered by Postmaster
General Meyer with view to deter
mining whether the postoffice discon-
tinued at the town of Brandon. n. Y,
shall be re-establshed there. The
inquiry involves a unique state of af.
fairs.
According to the papers on
file in the postoflice department, il
appears that several years ago viii
liam Rockefeller, who owns large
estate comprising more than $4,000
acres in the vicinity of Tarrytown,
conceived the idea of acquiring tho
site of the town of Brandon to fi4l
out his estate Brandon was -four
ishing place, with a postoffice and two
or three small stores and a small num-
ber of inhabitants Mr.. Rockefeller
purchased all of the property from
its owners except one small tract that
was owned by civil war veteran
named LamOra. Lamora refused to
sell and persisted in fishing in
stream wrich ran through Mr.. Rookie
fellers estate and in using the roads
which had been open to the public,
it Is said for a generation.
Brandon postoffice was abolished and
another was opened at Bay Fond,
three miles within the confines Of Mr..
Rockefeler's estate. There the people
who formerly received their mail at
Brandon were expected to get It, La
mora was arrested for trespass on
Mr.. Rockefellers estate and he and
his friends fought the case in the
courts, but eventually we're defeated.
\ court order was made preventing
Lamora in person or by an agent from
going onto the estate of Mr.. Rocke-
feller and it is stated that therefore
he was unable to obtain mail for him
directed to the Bay Pond office
The matter was brought to the at
tention of Postmaster General Meyer
through letters received from various
parts of the country and he has de-
termned not only to ascertain the
facts regarding it, but, if possible, to
re-establish the postoffce at Brandon
or at some nearby point outside of the
estate of Mr. Rockefeller, which will
be convenient for the people of that
vicinity.

The woes of the amateur gardener

fresh. homegrown vegetables. Every
evening he would hurry through his
supper and rush ont TO his garden,
where he displayed more energy than
skill. But, alas When many little
