A, new SLOGAN
'The Wenatchee Way" Suggestive
of the Progressive Spirit of the
Town.

Walter M. Olive, one of the Invest
boosters that any town ever had, was
in the Office of the World last night
to comment upon the bridge and 9TH
er matters of interest, and states that
in his estimation the coming bridge
demonstration ought to be the biggest
blowout that Wenatchee ever had.
"A recent clipping from one of the
upriver papers spoke of the 'Wenat-
chez way and the idea struck me, =
said Mr.. Olive, that there is a phrase
which should be used as a slogan by
the people of this city. They talk
about the Seattle Spirit,ss' and the
Pullman Pull" and Yakima is
Better" and 'Kittitas is Best" but
the ''Wenatchee Way" eclipses them
all. The Wenatchee Way is an ex-
preston of the manner in which en-
terprises, public and private, are
handled in the best town in the
state of Washington In other
words, the Wenatchee Way means
that We get what we go after.

MESDAMES CULP
And TIbbITS
ENTERTAIN

At the invitation of Mrs. John Culp
and Mrs. M. o. Tibbits, the beautiful
home of the latter on King street was
the scene of large gathering yester-
day afternoon, complimentary to Mrs.
j. H. Ogburn of Virginia, daughter Of
Mrs. Tibbits, and Mrs. Frank Culp,
who has so recently returned from
her bridal tour through California
and Old Mexico.
Little Marion Tibbits opened the
door to the guests, who then passed
into the commodious living room,
where the receiving party stood. The
beauty of the room was further en-
HANGED by trimmings of green pine
boughs interspersed with pink and
white chrysanthemums, above the
arches and windows. On the piano
was banked the green, frightened by
the flowers, while on the mantel
above the huge fireplace We're arrang-
ed ported plants, amidst the green
branches, against background of
beautiful peacock feathers.
Miss Mary Duff ushered the guests
into the dining-room, where the green
was used in ornamenting the side
board and window lodges. The table
was pretty with the soft tints of pi:k
and white In the center was beau
tiful point lace piece over pink, sur
mounted by bowl of pink and white
carnations.

CHICKEN SHOW
OPENED TODAY

The rooster is cock of the walk to-
day on Wenatcnee avenue. The
Fourth Annual Show of the Wenat-
chez Poultry Association began this
morning. Many fine specimens of
birds are on exhibit.
The show this year is success
already and much interest is mani
fest not only among chicken fanciers
but by the people generally.
If one can judge by the enthusi-
asm shown, it will be only a short
time till Wenatchee will be famous
for chickens as well as for Big Red
Apples.
To paraphrase well-known book,
the title of this article, as descrip-
tive of the show, might well be

and beautiful as mountain scenery
could be-
There were the loftier peaks of the
Cascades covered with snow, while
below them everywhere was the for
est primeval, and beside all that, was
the dashing Wenatchee river flowing
to the Columbia-and thus a picture
was presented that would appeal to
any nature.
Mr.. johnson declares that he
watched his artist friend to see what
impression this Cascade scenery was
making upon his mind-but he sat
like a stole until the very summit Of
the switchback was reached, when he
cried out, What fool 1 have been,

people, while all the time in my own

nificent and the most beautiful seen

first visit, but 1 shall come back
again; 1 shall come often, and bring
my friends with me. We in New
York think we know everything-but
my friend addressing Mr.. Johnson)
we know nothing. Indeed, we know
nothing!"
Again, insisting upon storytelling,
Mr.. Johnson refers to Sabbath
morning when the rainy season was
drawing to a close, and discussing
with another friend the beauties OF
the mountain scenery:

Courier Contains inter-
view of Country Among the Cas-
cadeS and Along Wenatchee River

The Seattle Times of yesterday
upon the grandeur of Washington
scenery and especially upon the
beauties of the Cascades along the
line of the Great Northern and Of
the country up the Wenatchee river.
Among other things the article
says:
A few years ago Mr.. E. Polk John
son, a special agent for the United
States Treasury, was located in Seat
tie and like thousands of other
men identified with the public serv-
ice, became attached to the place of
his location.
Mr.. johnson is now stationed in
Louisville, Kentucky, and on Decem-
Der % was interviewed in the Louis
vile Courier Times touching on the
Alaska ukon-Pacific Exposition.
The Times is the evening edition
of the Louisville Courier-Journal,
over which Henry Watterson pre-
sides, and is, therefore, an important
publication in the state of Kentucky.
After having related his own ex-
perience and his peculiar sensations
when first crossing the Rocky and
the Cascade mountains, and coming
down into Western Washington, he
tells a little story of an artist who
happened to be riding upon the same
train.

sky was clear, and as the train as
cended from Leavenworth to the
switchback-for this was before the

SALE OF CENTRAL:
 SCHOOL PROPERTY
The Meeting of Electors on the Night Of the 29th Should Not Be Over Looked.

Electors of school district No. l, should bear in mind the meeting call ed by the school trustees for the even ing of June 29. at 8 o'clock in the Central school building. It is to be an important meeting for on its is- sue depends the sale of the school property, a question over which there Is division of sentiment and one that ought not to be acted upon by small handful of voters. The meeting Is publicly and regularly called and it is up to the voters to see that there is a good attendance, that the result, whatever it may be, shall not be ques- toned later.
 The proposition comes from R. H. Greene and associates, who offer $6O,- 900 for city block number 92, better known as the school house block The offer provides fer the payment of $l5,000 within thirty days after the ratification of a sale by the electors of the district. and s45,OOO more by Jan uary l, 1909, providing the trustees are then prepared to pass the title.
 In settling the matter there are for consideration, the questions of the val ue of the property. and the more i'm portant question. whether it is desir- able to sell at any figure and build one or more new school houses. There are good arguments on both sides. It is a thing for the people to decide and they should not let it go by default, as was once done in a similar school meeting here. the results of which were entanglements and perplexing differences.

 This new railroad, besides opening the farm, coal and timber lands of this region, is after the U. s. mail con- tract and freighting into the post, and also can carry passengers into the tuberculosis sanitarium which is ex- pected to be built in the heart of the pine woods. and to which Los Angeles capital was recently figuring on run ming an automobile line. MT. Camp bell of Prescott is president of the new MT. Chilson of Winslow is and MT. Burbage of the Nav ajo County bank treasurer.
 There is Philadelphia and Los An geles. besides quite a little local capi- tai, interested, and the company ex- poets to start work on the completion of the surveys. Mir Maddock is in charge of the location work.
