PLEASED WITH APPLES

Almost every day someone in the
city is in receipt of letter compli-
Imentary to the fruit grown in the
valleq. The following letter was re-
ceived Saturday by City Clerk Sum-
ner from Fred Baum, of the Pacific
Coast Pipe company, Seattle, as an
acknowledgment of the receipt of a
box of apples. This is sample of
many that are being received every
week:
Mr. Sam R. Sumner, Attorney-at-law,
Wenatchee, Washington:
Dear Sir--I am in receipt of the
box of apples you kindly sent us, and
want to say they are the best l have
tasted.
l would like to know for my own
information what the name of the
variety is, and also ask you if you
could arrange to have six boxes of
| them sent to me here at Ballard.
If so, kindly have them sent on by
| freight, if it is not too late to ship
by freight, and send me the invoice
for the same.
l want to thank you for your kind
treatment.
Yours truly,
FRED BAUM.

son ANNOUNCES THAT HIS FA.
THEIR WILL BE in OLYMPIA AT
TIME TO QUALIFY FOR THE
GOVERNORSHIP.

Seattle, Nov. 30.-GOvernor Co.'S
grove will be on hand to take Office at
Olympia, January II.
This is the message received by
Howard Cosgrove from his father who
is now at Paso Robes convalescing
from an illness that for a time threat
Olympia for the Inauguration as the
executive of the state.
Howard COsgrOve is in Seattle. He
is here on a short business trip, and
will return to Pomeroy, his home In
eastern Washington, the first of next
week.
You may say" said Mr.. Cosgrove,
'that father will be in Olympia on
January IL, and will thereupon quail
ify as governor of the state All
of the letters and kilograms I have
received from mother tell of his daily
improvement. He will remain Ia
California until it is necessary for
him to depart in order to reach Olynl-
pia in time for the Inauguration.
Father is going to live good
many years yet, and you are going
to see a mighty lively old gentleman
in the executive mansion at Olympia.
1t is unfortunate, of course, that this
illness should have come upon him at
the time it did, but am sure that he
would have preferred, If he could have
willed it, to be sick during the cam
paign and before taking Office than
at any time during his term as gov
ernor"
Mr.. Cosgrove was asked regarding
the trip of Governor Mead to Pome-
roy prior to Governor-elect Cosgrove's
departure for California, and the
many reports sent out regarding the
purpose of the visit.
Governor Mead came to Colfax as
an old friend of fathers" said Mr..
Cosgrove, and as governor of the
state to pay visit to the governor
elect. We had delightful visit with
him, and father felt better for it. He
offered to do whatever he could to
prepare for fathers assumption of the
Office, and has since been of great as
sistance. 1t was a most courteous
thing to do, and the rest of the men,
bers of the family thoroughly appre-
ciate it,

DEMAND THE
WENATCHEE APPLE
THE CROP THIS YEAR HAS BEEN
ALMOST CLEANED UP, AND YE.'
THE CALL COMES FOR MORE
APPLES.

All but fifty car loads of apples
raised in the Wenatchee Valley have
been marketed, yet the demand for
apples is growing every day, and there
are demands in now for over 200 car
loads that can not be filled. This is
good indication that the market for
the big red apple is continually in
creasing, dispelling the idea that a
great many people have of overpro-
duction of apples.
The last apple train left Wenat-
chez last week for the east with IA
carloads and hereafter shipments will
be made by regular freight trains.
The apple crop for 1908 is estimat-
ed between 1900. and 1900 carloads,
shipped by express and freight.
At Cashmere there have been 1877
carloads shipped to date, represent
ing 100000 boxes of apples. About
80 car loads have been handled by
the Cashmere union, Is by the We
natchee Valley Fruit Growers asso-
citation, and the balance by produce
buyers. 1t is estimated that there are
100 carloads being held in storage by
the growers at that place.
Thought the country the output
this year is so per cent larger than
last year and the marketing has been
successful. Prices nearly as high as
those paid last year are being paid at
present and apples will be at pre-
MUM by spring.
The express company at this place
place has done big business in the
shipment of apples by individuals to
friends in the east. Some ship one
apple, some a whole box and others
just a part of box. This is a great
advertising medium and is producing
great results in the way of securing
markets and inducing people to come
to this section.

LIGHTING SYSTEM
TO BE bETTERED
WENATCHEE ELECTRIC COM
PANY FLUMING BY WOODEN
BUILD ADDITION TO
PLANT.

1.-The electric light service is to
be ebettered in a few days." said Ar
thur Gum, president of the Wenat-
chez Electric company. "The new
gas plant is at present overloaded on
account of the fact that the Squill-
chuck plant is partly out of COM
mission. We are making some big
improvements in our plant there.
We are replacing a large stretch of
f1uming near the Morris place by
wooden stave pipe. This will be in
in the course of a few days, and the
plant running in good shape, and
we expect to be able to give better
service. 1t is the intention of the
company eventually to replace all the
f1uming in the Squillchuck valley by
piping. This way we will be able
to better conserve the water, furnish
ing plenty to run our plant to the
full capacity. This has only been
running about one-third its capacity
recently on account of insufficient
water, but when we are able to save
what we have we will have plenty
for the needs of the plant"
A contract was let recently for the
enlargement of the new gas plant.
This has been found to work perfect
ly, and about 100000 will be ex-
pended this winter for the enlargi1g
of the plant. 1t is now producing
about 400 horsepower, and the con-
tract awarded provides for charging
it one-third, making it capable OF
producing 600 horsepower. The con-
tract was let with the proviso that
the new machinery was to be in
stalled at once so that the additional
power could be used this winter. Mr..
Gum stated that he thought that the
machinery would be here in another
month The enlargement of the plant
necessitates the building of an aidi-
ton to the plant in the city.

MARKETED FIFTY
CARS OF APPLES
G. III. RYAN, OF CHELAN FRUIT
GROWERS ASSOCIATION, SAYS
GROWERS OF LAKE COUNTRY
HAD SUCCESSFUL YEAR.

G. H. Ryan, president and manager
of the Lake Chelan Fruit Growers
association, is in the city today, COM
ing here for the purpose of finding a
market for the last three cars of the
1908 apple crop. Mr.. Ryan states
that the association has marketed so
cars of apples this year and have re-
ceived good prices for them. The
growers feel very much encouraged
over the returns of the past year,
and there is going to be a large
acreage planted to fruit in that sec
ton this year.
Mr.. Ryan stated to World re-
porter that fully ninety per cent OF
the growers of the upper country
were members of the Lake Chelan
Fruit Growers association, and this
is a harmonious organization, fully
organized, and realizing that the only
way to handle fruit is through an
organization such as they have.

BURLINGTON TRAINS WILL SOON
BE RUNNING OVER THE GREAT
NORTHERN TRACKS.-MAKES
A THIRD TRAIN.

The announcement was made some
weeks ago that, commencing the first
of December, the Burlington trains
would run over the Great Northern
tracks. This service has been de
layed and the local Office does not
know when the service will be inaug-
uratei. 1t may be in few days, and
1T may not be until the first of the
year. This means a third train both
ways through here, and local service
will be given. The freight service
has been in effect for some time but
the local Office was notified that the
passenger service would be delayed
and that later announcements would
be made regarding them.
AS yet no announcement can be
made of the arrival or departure of
the trains. 1t will be quite an accom-
mediation to the people of Central
Washington to have this additional
train service on this line.

two 25-passenger steamers for Soap
Lake next season, and a dancing
barge, electric-lighted, capable of &C
lcommodating 100 passengers. Dane
ing on brilliantly Illuminated barge
out in the water would be an innova-
ton indeed, and should prove an at.
traction. The plans for the fitting
of the barge include piano, and
and when dancing is in progress, ar
orchestra.
The installation of the steamers
and barge are said to depend upon
whether the promoters can secure
reasonable concessions of shore &C
commodations for docks.
1t is said that another party Is
considering the erection of dane

FOOTHILLS, THE
RESIDENT SECTION
EVENTUALLY THE SECTION
ABOVE THE HIGH LINE WILL
BE COVERED WITH BEAUTI.
Full HOMES,

l.. E. Kellogg, who is now the
owner of the old Philip Miller place,
stated this morning, in talking of the
recent development of a new spring
found on the hills by Mr.. Lucavish,
that he believed that in time the
section above the high line. west of
the city would be covered with beau
tiful homes belonging to the bust
ness men of Wenatchee.
"The foothills have dozens of
springs that are capable of furnishing
water for hundreds of families, -
said Mr.. Kellogg. I'VE all believe
with Jim Hill that Wenatchee will
eventually make a city of $4,000 to
$4,000 population. This means that
the valley will be networked. with ell
ectric lines. When that time comes
we will see the finest homes in the
valley along the foothills west of the
city. 1t will be like it is in Spokane
and Seattle. The fine homes will
be on the hills overlooking the entire
valley, the majestic Columbia and
the snow-capped mountains in the
distance. You mark my words, it
is only few years until we will see
these things come to pass. Many of
the business men of the city will be
building fine homes on the land that
is now above the ditch. They will
be able to take the electric cars to
and from their work. They will have
Ian abundance Of the best Of water,
Fsitely homes and away from the heat
and dust OF the city. You win ffnd
that in time the land adjacent to the
|city Is going to be too valuable for
residence prODerY."
