WOMAN ASKING
$1,000 DAMAGES
Mrs. Nancy Drum of Cashmere Says
She Was Mislead and Wants
Some of Her Money Back

Papers were served this morning in
damage suit emanating from the
verdant vale of Cashmere.
Mrs. Nancy j. Drum has started
an action against Frank C. Warren
and wife, to recover $1,000, which
amount she feels she has lost through
alleged misrepresentation to her on
the part of the defendant.
The plaintiff, who is a widow, came
to Cashmere from the east about two
years ago, at the solicitation of her
son-in-law, one H. B. Warren, who
is also a brother of the defendant
Frank Warren.
The plaintiff alleges that at that
time she was wholly ignorant of the
relative value of various kinds of
fruit, of fruit lands, etc, but that on
the advice of Frank Warren she was
induced to purchase a certain acre
tract near Cashmere, said to be plant
ed in Jonathan apple trees. 1t has
since developed that the trees on the
land are Missouri Pippins, an infe-
rior quality of fruit and that the land
is therefore worth much less than she
had thought it to be.
Deputy Sheriff De Long of Cash
mere served the summons and COM
plant on the the defendant Warren
today Corbin, Ludington & Kemp
are attorneys for the plaintiff.

SAY THEY'RE
HOSPITABLE
Local Boys Say that Cashmere Folks
Know How to Treat
Outsiders.

Wenatehee fruit men who attended
the meeting of the County Horticultu-
raj association held at Cashmere last
Saturday are commenting upon the
hospitality received at the hands of
the people of Cashmere. In fact there
always has been liberality exhibited
by the people up the valley which
has even put the Commercial club of
Wenatchee in the background in this
respect. Wenatchee people were not
even allowed to pay for their dinner,
which was furnished by the ladies of
the Presbyterian Aid society.
About one hundred growers were
present at the meeting. Twenty-four
new names were added to the roll of
members.

A BIG BOOM
ON LAND SALE
Advancing from 500 to $500 the
Acre Annually, Says Seattle
Man.

Wednesdays Spokesman-Revie
has the following to says of Colum-
bia Valley land
Land on the Columbia river be-
tween Kennewick and Priest Rapids,
like that in more than one irrigated
tract, is increasing in value a. the
rate of 800 and 5000 an acre the
year. declared David R. McGinnis,
of Seattle, eX-secretary of the ST.
Paul Commercial Club, last night.
The land has settled so rapidly that
transportation facilities have not
been able to keep up.
"A year ago there was a tract Of
land 70 miles long on the Columbia
river between Kennewick and Priest
Rapids in which there was scarcely a
dozen settlers. One small steamer,
the Todd, could not find enough busi-
ness to pay expenses. The Hanford
Irrigation and Power Company put
in its power plants and has complet-
ed its lower line canal which sup
plies $4,000 acres. The steamer
Mountain Gem, large boat which
was operating on the Snake river
last year, now can not handle one
third of the business. Efforts are be-
ing made to get the steamer Yakima,
which has been hauling material for
the Spokane, Portland & Seattle road,
and about June /, turbine steamer
capable Of doing 16 miles an hour
will be put in commission between
kennewick and Hanford and Priest
Rapids exclusively for passenger SER
vice.
Canal Waters 1000 Acres.
''The low line canal of the Hanford
company is now completed The cleo
tric power station at Coyote Rapids,
now also completed, will supply the
canal, which furnishes water to ap-
proximately 1900 acres The land
at present under irrigation is a strip
25 miles long and from one to three
miles wide. Survey have been COM
pleted for an electric road, of which
President W. r. Rust of the Tacoma
smelter is president 1t has not been
definitely determined whether the
starting point will be from Kenne-
wick or from Kiona, but it will run
from one of those points to Hanford,
then bisect the 25-mile strip to Priest
atsRapids, crossing the river there on
the islands and running up the cas-
side of the Columbia to Wenatchee.
A branch line will run from Rock
Island up Moses coulee into the
wheat country.
The profits realized on the fruit
land of Wenatchee and Yakima, the
Columbia river and it's tributary val
leys under. 1900 feet in elevation,
have made that country as prosper
Gus as any in the world The actual
records of profits for the last three
years in the fruit raising lands
around Hanford show from $500 to
81 900 per acre.
Fruit in Demand i'm Europe.
THE fruits raised there are in
special demand in New York, Lon
don and Paris markets.
Il bought 80 acres last year and I
just purchased five acres more.
have just come from that country,
where I have had people clearing my
land of the sagebrush and I have put
out 1000 Flame Tokay grapes. Th(
grape and pear are, l believe, the
most profitable crops for that land.
There are cases in which the Doy-
enne du Comice pears produced on
one acre have been sold for $1,000.
81 believe the apple show planned
here for next December is a great
thing"
