A Test Shipment

This week the teams of Mr. Swift
commenced hauling of 500 tons Of
limestone from the Bonham quarry
at Mount Echo to the lone depot for
transportation to the sugar refinery
near Salinas City in Monterey
county. This shipment is for the
purpose of making practical test of
the limestone of this quarry IN the
refining Ut sugar. Should it prove
satisfactory, it will mean the de-
Velopment of an important industry
in the export OF limestone. The
mineral has stood every test SO far by
experts. 1t has been pronounced
equal to any in the state. Negotia-
tiOns have been IN progress for some
months, and an agreement entered
into for taking several carloads a
week, agRregating thousands of tons
in the course of year, providing the
stone in actual working comes up to
expectations. w. II. Greenhalgh has
conducted the negotiations at this
end Of the line, and entertains strong
hopes that they will be carried to
a complete success. There are vast
beds of limestone of the finest quality
between Sutter Greek aud lone.
Sooner or later this source of wealth
is bound to become marketable.

FRED REEVES
STATES POSITION
Says He Will Not Practice Law Be.
fore His Brother i'm the Event
of His Election.

A communication from Fred
Reeves to the World, which bears
upon the judgeship situation, says:
Wenatchee, April II, 1908.
Editor Daily World:
Dear Sir-I request you to kindly
publish the following statement in
your paper:
II is written in the books defining
legal ethics that there is nothing to
prevent an attorney from practicing
law in a court over which his brother
or near kinsman presides, though
such conduct is usually (and right
fully) condemned The objection, if
any, can only rest upon that natural
bias of feeling and sympathy which
a Judge is supposed to entertain to-
ward his brother, or other near kins-
man, who may have charge of
cause in his court-an interest which
he is not supposed to have toward
the opposite counsel who is not 50
related to him.
The books furnish many examples
of high minded lawyers who have re-
fused to appear in the capacity o.
attorney or counselor in court over
WHICH near hluSIudu pIcoIuSu. L MS
principle meets with my unqualified
approval. Any other position would
be awkward for the court, unpleas-
ant for attorneys, and unfair to liti-
gdnts.
relieving as 1 do, and for the rea-
sons above stated, l make the fol-
lowing statement at this time:
1. In the event that my brother
and business partner, Mr.. Frank
Reeves, is elected judge of the su-
perior court of the state of Wash
/ ington, in and for Chelan county, /
will not, under any circumstances
appear in said court in the capacity
of attorney or counselor, at any time
he is presiding over said court as
judge.
2. In the event of his election, as
stated in the preceling paragraph.
will retire absolutely from the prac-
tice of law in Chelan county, reserv-
ing, however, the right to complete
any unfinished business that he Is
disqualified to hear as judge.

SAYS FRANCHISE IS
NOT NECESSARY
VI. ID. Barasil of Entiat Power Com.
pany Says His Company can
Come into Wenatchee.

"A franchise is not necessary to
allow us to operate in the city of We
natchee," was the statement made
tody by NJ. d. Barash of the Entiac
Power Company, who is in the city
today.
In discussing the situation, MIR.
Barash said:
The franchise asked for by the
Entiat Power company is only mat
ter of convenience, or rather only
the granting of rights which We al
ready have. 1t is not generally
known that the Seattle-Tacoma Pow
er company, formerly known as the
Snoqualmie Power company is now
doing business in Seattle without
having secured a franchise from the
city council. The matter was taken
through the courts and it was held
nv the supreme court that coun-
ell could not prevent any company
from doing a legitimate business il
the CITY,"
If the contention of Mr.. Barash is
correct a new light has been thrown
on the franchise question.

BIG CLEAN UP
AT NOME
Output from that District Said to
Break All Previous Records
this Year.

Repeating the history of ten years
ago, when gold was first discovered
in Alaska and news of the unex-
pected resources there dragged Seat
tie from the slough of business de-
preston and placed her upon the
pinncl of prosperity, the latest ad-
vices from the frozen North indicate
tht the recordbreaking output the
coming spring will have the same
relative effect on that city. The
spring cleanup in Nome and vicin-
ity will be twice the largest amount
ever before taken out of tundra and
beach there, and will, by conserva-
tive calculation, run more than S3,-
900, 900. There will also be a heavy
cleanup in the interior, the Fair
banks and .Tanana districts giving
promise of big returns as soon as
warm weather arrives.

WENATCHEE
team IS BEATEN
Members of the Local Delegation
Say Judges Gave Them Fierce
Deal.

The Wenatchee Cashmere Inter
County debate was held last night
at Cashmere, and resulted rather
disastrously for the Wenatchee
team, according to the decision of
the judges, which decision. however,
can hardly be said to have been re-
ceived by unanimity of opinion.
The question for discussion was:
Resolved that the Japanese Coolies
Should be Excluded from the Unit
ed States"
The Wenatchee High School, rep
resented by Paul Garrett and Henry
Hartman, contended for the affirma-
tive. The negative was upheld by
Ruby Long and Eli Tigner.
The judges were Dooley P. Wheel
er of Beacon Heights, Prof. Nickles
of Peshastin and Principal Wolf of
Leavenworth, two of whom decided
for the negative.
The World was not represented at
the debate, but according to the
smoke this morning, some OF the
/ judges are being burned up.
/ Principal Lemon of the High
School, was not slow in expressing
) his opinion that the decision was
/ inclined to be "putrid"
! A Cashmere man was heard to say
that he had two boys in the Cash
mere schools, but he couldn't see
how the judges could render such a
decision The roasts, however, are
entirely confined to the judges.
Wenatchee was represented by
about twenty from the high school
all of whom are profuse in their eX-
pressions of the general reception
given by the Cashmere people.

TIMBER As A FARM CROP.
Profitable Use for Soil Not Suitable
for Farming.


In every state of the Union there
are many tracts of so-called agricul-
tural land, which. owing to their
hilly character, poor soil, or numer-
Gus powders, are not suitable for
farming. The owners OF such tracts
are often at a loss to know what to
do with them
Without question. the best use to
which land OF this kind can be put
Is to plant 1t with trees. One OF the
fundamental principles of forest eco
nomics Is. that soil which is not good
enough to make the growing OF Ger
cal crops profitable should be devot-
ed to the production Of wood crops.
This does not mean that trees grow
better on poor soil than on fertile
soil. But, in proportion to the
money Invested. better returns are
secured from trees planted on the
less valuable land.
Most OF the cone bearing trees and
many hardwoods as well will thrive
In soil OF medium fertility. All trees
however, do not thrive on poor.
sandy ridges or on hillsIdes where
the soil is thin Black walnut.

their best development, require

well drained. and II is not advisable
to plant them where these require
mcnts are not met.

problem of what to do with the worn

and farming has been losing Dro~o-

SELLING SHOES IN BRITAIN.
American Salesman Tells of the Null
t,pic stores system.

The method selling shoes in Great
Britain has been improved to such
an extent within recent years that
they are just little bit ahead of us
now said the foreign representa-
tive OF one OF the largest shoe manu-
facturers in this country. The shoe
business there Is a good deal like the
cigar business here, and the benefits
u the public are many.
The big English shoe stores are
called multiple shops, and are man
aged from a central depot, which Is
always located in great shoe manu-
featuring town, such as Leicester"
because the head OF the multiple
store wants to be In close touch with
the manufactures. An order from
the multiple is naturally large, and
the head OF II, who always has cash
TO settle his order in full, Is often
able to squeeze the manufacturer be-
low the cost price.
Sometimes the manufacturer fails
for that reason, but the only one TO
suffer Is the leather man. The null
tiple store man has made good bar
gain, the people buy their shoes
cheaper and they are not inclined TO
waste any sympathy on the manu-
facturer or the tanner.
The stores are well managed, but
from an American point of view the
managers are poorly paid. These
stores have worked wonders with
the British style OF dressing shoe
store windows.
Not long ago it was common TO
see the old brass rods with men 5
ard women's shoes placed side by side
soldier fashion, each bearing a plalh
ticket. To-day the shoe shop WIN
dows rank ith the millinery stores
I'm the matter Of displays.
It IS interesting to note also that
in spite 1f British conservatism
American styles are now being WIDE
ly initiated. At recent gathering
of shoe men in London a man VINO IS
at the hcac OF one OF the biggest sAoe
distributing concerns openly Sa!a
that America now led the fashion in

present the modified form OF the
bulldog toe Is worn by all young
bloods, and the newest seasons sam
pies all appear to have been made on
lasts copied from American modes
II am not surprised at the success
of the multiple shoe stores in BRIT
ain. Before they went into business
the average shoe store was DARK
dismal evil smelling hole, and the
storekveper was in keeping with his
business. The quantity OF stock was
insufficient for the Gus omer's de-
mands and the smart fittings OF TO-
day for the various sizes of shoes VAS
unknown.
THAT Is all changed now, ana al
though many a small retailer has
been squeezed out of business II AaS
improved the trade, and now there
is intense compeli iton between tae
big concerns themselves" q"

The old Holly mine, two and a half
miles west of Eureka, is having its sur
face buildings put into shape for active
work later on. 1t is now owned by the
Nevada Development & Mining com
pany, which company changed its name.
When it was first worked 80 years ago
it was known as the Idaho. A gallows
frame has been erected over the 700
foot shaft and three buildings have
been constructed-a machine shop, com
pressor house and a building for a %
horse power gasoline hoist engine. The
former owners were able to make about
] 200 feet of workings and the shaft is
well timbered. OF the 10000 tons on
the dump, at least 1000 tons, it is said,
could be worked at profit. The mine has
produced in the neighborhood of sl'o,-
600.

G. W. Gafford, of Los Angeles, who
is associated with a group of Boston
investors, has secured an option on
what is known as the sulphur group of
nineteen claims at Cuprite. In securing
the option a good-sized payment was
made, and then the work of exploiting
the ground was started. A trial ship
ment of 200 pounds was made to Los
Angeles for laboratory tests some
weeks ago, and it was proven that the
stuff was SO per cent pure, as dug out
of the ground. This is said to be the
purest sulphur that has been found in
the country. Another shipment of half
a ton was made on Saturday, to be
tested on a more extensive scale. II
took only an hour and twenty minutes
for two men to mine and sack it.

The mine is situated between Red

shortly after the discovery they were
offered $4,000 for the mine, but
Rickey's partner wanted more money
and blocked the deal, and later they
abandoned the property. ~Loughbonrgh

operations. About $4,000 worth of
500 gold ore was placed on the dump.
