OF PROSPERITY
Seattle Post-Intelligencer Passes Out
Another Editorial on 1.-THE
Land of Promise"

The Wenatchee World predicts
that the year 1908 will go down in
history as one of the most prosper
GUS seasons in the life of that enter
prising. capital of Chelan county. The
editor has interviewed many of the
representative citizens and obtained
facts that would indicate the fulfill
ment of the prophecy. They name
sixteen distinct reasons for the asser-
tion that this year will be one of the
greatest in development in that vic.
unity Chief among these reasons
are the increasing of the area of ir-
rigated lands; planting of larger
tracts to orchards; building of new
railroads; erection of homes, and
the general expansion in every ave-
nue. of commerce.
Wenatchee has passed from the
desert to an oasis. 1t has changed
from the ranch to the orchard No
period of money stringency has had
an effect on the age of progress Ev-
cry industry has grown to larger and
greater proportions. The irrigation
canals have carried water to fields
and garden and converted poor fa-
miles into communities of wealth
and independence. The country is
merely on the borderland of prosper
ity Many of the fruit growing dis
ttricts are in their infancy Orchards
will come into bearing for the first
time this season. And there is no
reason for supposing that the new
trees will produce less than those
that have made rich men of their
owners.
Every indication of future prosper
ity points to Chelan county as one of
the coming districts of home and f.
nancial independence. 1t is only one
OF the MANY irrigated fields offering
superior inducements to home-build-
ers. Wherever an irrigation canal
can be constructed, and the water for
covering the cultivated tract obtain
ed, there is the foundation for sue
cess. The future lies largely in the
hands OF the peori:. One develored
field Of action opens the gateway for
investments to another. So in We
natchee as in other favored locali-
ties the produetiyeness of the. soil
induces capital to branch out into
modern industries.
The people of Wenatchee deserve
much credit for efforts in behalf of
town-building. The city has a lively
commercial club, made up of active
residents, and every member has
something to suggest that will en-
hance the value of the community.
Every man is working for the up
building of his home district, realiz-
ing that in so doing he is elevating
the spirit of humanity and increas-
ing the value of his own holdings.
A city of united workmen attracts
those having capital to invest. 1t Of
fers sites for canneries, milk con-
densaries, creameries and other in
dustrial plants that link the city and
country in one harmonious chain for
financial, moral and social develop
ment.-Seattle Post-Intelligencer.

Then the return trip via Pittsburg.
Washington, Baltimore. Gettysburg
and New York will be very interesting
1t is the duty and pleasure of all who
can to visit Gettysburg battlefield and
this stop is a feature of the trip
The party is booking up well, bu,
there is still room and the department
commander is very DESTROYS of having
large party from Maine, so come
and join the headquarters party for
this trip.
