what the expert of the Commercial

The rather unpromising and dis
appointing statement by the bank that
improvements by railroads had
stopped some time ago is bound to
give way to rejoicing over the follow
ing from the Chicago Inter Ocean:
After "a long period, in which the
railroads have been buying no new
equipment, a number of roads have
announced that they will make large
purchases in the near future. From
present indications some 10000 cars
will be ordered within the next few
weeks.
prices have been asked for the fol-
lowing number of cars by the railroads
named:
Seven thousand cars for the Harri-
man lines.
Two thousand five hundred and
fifty cars for the wisconsin Central.
Three hundred cars for the Delaware,
Lackawanna & Western.
Two ilundred and seventy-tive cars
for the Newburg & South Shore.
Five hundred cars for the Atlantic
Coast Line.
-Four hundred and fifty cars for the
Iowa Central.
One hundred cars for the ST. Louis
& San Francisco.
One hundred cars for the Isthmian
canal commission.
In addition to these a few roads
have recently placed orders for new
equipment. These include the North
western and the Chicago & Alton, each
of these roads having ordered l,0oo
cars.
Railroad companies also are making
specifications for a large amount OF
repair equipment, and are beginning
to replace worn out equipment and ma
terial that has been sadly in need OF
repair for a good many months.
1T has been estimated that on jan.
1 1909, the railroads of the United
States will have 100000 less freight
cars in service than on Jan. !, l9oS.
Cars are constantly worn out and In
normal times new purchases are nee
essary at frequent intervals to replace
the equipment. During the past lew
months no purchases have been maze
with the result that a great deal OF
buying will be needed in order to pre-
pare for return Of prosperity.

NO ROOM FOR
PETTY JEALOUSY
0. NJ. BROOKS, OF CASHMERE,
DESTINED FOR THE WENAT-
CHEZ VAILEY.

o. NJ. Brooks, of Cashmere, was in
the city today and was very jubilant
over the recent victory at Spokane,
and among other nice things, said:
Il feel like saying something good
about Wenatchee, for she certainly
covered herself with glory at the Ma
tional Apple show.
Every resident of the Wenatchee
Valley should shake hands with him
self, as we'll as his neighbor, for he
is subject to congratulation upon be-
ing a citizen of a great and prosper
Gus country.
The period of petty jealousies
has passed, and we all recognize that
what helps one section of the valley
is benefit to the whole.
THE name of the Wenatchee VAL
ley is writ large in the horoscope of
fame; though its great fruit indus
try is still in its infancy. The whole
valley is alive with the spirit of prog
ress. and in its bright lexicon there is
no such word as fail.
1T is easy to see that great things
are destined for Wenatchee. Within
five years it will have a population
of $4,000, and it may well be termed
the Gem City of the Inland Empire ;
In fact, the whole valley is .forg-
ing to the front, and those who wish
to cast their lot in with us would bet
ter get busy at once, while the land

fore the board of trustees. Mr. Gil

board of trustees, states that the eX-
hibitors were promised, as judges

Agricultural college, one of the
judges, is lacking in both these quail
ifications.

Lewis is a competent man to judge of
packing, and it is on this alone that

Gilbert. THE score card of the
judges shows that in the box pack
my apples were rated at 10 "a, 20
being perfect, and that Mr. Koran s
apples were marked 10 IA, which is
but half a point in difference AS a
matter of fact, mine should have been
rated at about II and Mr.. Koran S
at about 12.'

board further charges that small mar

The score which is given below
shows that the contest was close in
all points except for condition and
freedom from blemish, which ranks
10 in 100. and that Mr.. Gilbert's
apples got 7R on this point, while
those of Mr. Koran got 9 u.
The judges refused to discuss the
merits of the question and the trus
tees declined to state what actor
had been taken or what action would
possibly be taken in regard to the
complaint. The first prize was $1,000

spent the summer here and secured a
great deal of local fruit, bought con-
siderable of the exhibited fruit. He

and this prize car went to William
Crossley, of Crossley & Sons, of New
York. The apples will be shipped
east at once, ana will be distributed
from New York City, a portion of
them going to London.

to say that they brought a handsome

STORY OF A DOLLAR BILL.

Ten years ago farmer put his
initials on a dollar bill The next day
he went to the nearest town and spent
it with a merchant. Before the year
was out he got the dollar back. Four
times in six years the dollar came
back to him for produce, and three
times he heard of it in the pockets
of neighbors.
THE last time he got it back, four
years ago, he sent it to a mail order
house. He never has seen that dollar
since. and never will. That dollar
bill will never pay any more school
tax for him. will never build or
brighten any of the houses of the
community. He sent it entirely out
of the circle of usefulness to himself
and his neighbors when he sent it to
a mail-order house.

your schools and churches and lends

told in connection with the show, re-
ported the sale of three-quarters of a
box of apples to an enthusiastic Wis

urday great many apples were sold
and one man came around early in the
morning before any prices had been
put upon the apples and asked Mr..

play. One box contained Black Bens,
one Wolf River and the other was
Hubbertsons, making in all three
quarters of box. The man made an
offer of SIS for the lot and this was
