Birmingham, Sept. B. --(SpeciaD-The action of the convention of District 70, United Mine Workers of America Tn endorsing the calling off of the strike in the Birmingham district removes the last trace of fear that the trouble would be prolonged. A bitter contro- versy arose in the meeting as to whether the National Executive Board should be upheld or whether the con troversy should continue as an Al abama strike" without the aid of the national organization
 This was led by men who doubtless knew they would not be taken back by the operators and was used as a desperate hope While the sessions were secret 1t is known that the nnat vote showed the great majority of the delegates were not inclined to listen to any such advice, and the resoiu- ton endorsing the national boards action was carried by . wide margin.
 This settles the strike to the bot tom. Seventeen thousand men will be back at work within a week or ten days and although the soldiers will be kept on duty a few days longer than expected there is no prospect of vlo- fence in any form. A leading oper- ator and one who was regarded as leading the radical element of this side of tho conkr versy, said to-da%

 The agltators and those guilty of lawlessness will not be given work In the district. The men win endeaFor to maintain union organization, as will certainly not collect dues. as formerly.
 Everything will be strictly on a nen- union baais.
 Opposition to AEitators.
 The return of Vice President White and Secretary Treasurer Ryan. Of the National Organization, leaves the dis- trict in charge of W. R. Fairley. just as 1t was before the strike. What will be the result of the bitter feeling aroused against the local leaders can not be known, but 1t is not improbable that action of some sort will be taken.
 The leave taking of the national of- ficers revives the talk of coolness. plainly evidenced in Birmingham, be- tween President Lewis and the other two head officials of the United Mine Workers. There was no attempt to disguise the lack of harmony. and those who watched conditions closest would not be surprised to learn of an open break.
 It was patent to all that Secretary Treasurer Ryan Is the virtual head of the organization. MT. Lewis apparent- ly having little influence with the other officials or with the rank and file. His actions in Birmingham may have been accentuated by the fact that this was the first strike he had called and it was correspondingly hard for him to be forced to lose it.

Sept, 3--Regard- ing the decision, of the Federal court at St. Paul. in the injunction suit brought by the trunk lines of Arkan- sas, against the Arkansas Railroad Commission in which the latter is en- joined from enforcing certain passen- ger and freight rates, and in which an attempt was also made to attack the validity of the law creating the commission. the parties interested in the case today gave out somewhat con- flicting opinions as to what effect the decision of the court will have.
 Members of the railroad commission would make but little comment. A member stated. however, that with the present rates enjoined pending the final hearing, it Is probable the rates in effect prior to the creation of the railroad commission would again ap- ply.
 He stated that he believed the com mission would be empowered to com- pile new tariffs in case the injunction Is made permanent.
 Attorneys for the railroads declare they believe the railroads will confer at once and make out new tariffs and that the commission will have no power in the matter.

L. A. Bigham sold his place on We
natchee avenue last Saturday to A.
D. Browning. There were five acres
IN the orchard and the price paid was
$10,500.
The story of the rapid and constant
increase in the price of this land is
an interesting one, and an index to
the increase in the price of orchrad
land throughout the valley.
In 900 o. B. Fuller. bought the
ten acres which included this place
and paid SIS per acre for it. Many
thought he had gotten the worst of
the bargain, and ne was afraid so
himself.
In 1902 he sold three acres of it
to L. V. Wells for $1,000, including
that part where the house stands.
He sold the other seven acres to
William Mills for $2,500. which was
regarded as a mighty high price.
In 1905 Mills sold his seven
acres to Sam Patterson for $4,000.
In 1906 this seven acres was
bought by L. A. Bigham for s10,500.
In 1907 2h acres were sold by

THE WENATCHEE:
VALLEY THIRTEEN
YEARS AGO
Tacoma Man Comments on the Great
Change Few Years Has Made
on the Big Red Apple
Country.

w. A. Bradley of Tacoma, who is
in the city, was interviewed at the
Chewawa Hotel this morning by a
representative of the World. Mr.
Bradley was here thirteen years ago
and says concerning this valley:
81 am simply astounded at the ra-
pid growth of the surrounding coun-
try, and especially at the city itself
think, without doubt, that you
have the best valley and best pros
poets of any place in the United
States. Thirteen years ago there
were only two streets or rather trails
and as | looked down towards the
river l thought it was the most DESC
late looking hole that | ever saw |
stopped at the old Bell (Great North
ern) hotel, and drove around the
country, visiting the old Miller place
and other old-timers who, although
things looked rather doubtful, were
very optimistic concerning the pros
poets of the valley. Mrs. Bradley
states thai ii is a most delightful eli
mate and wishes she could spend at
least few months every year in the
city or the surrounding country. Mr..
Bradley is a broker of Tacoma and
makes a speciality of handling fruits
in carload lots, and the apple ques-
ton has some bearing on his visit
here.

( and the other 4k acres were sold
Saturday to A. d. Browning for $10,-
500.
The three acres bought by L. V.
Wells were sold by him in 1903 to
J. Obernolte for $500.
In 1906 Obernolte sold to Eugene
Page for $4,000. Page took from 100
six-year Black Twig apple trees
$500 clear money last year, and
regards his property worth not less
than $11, 900.
Here. then, is the ten acres bought
by Fuller in 1900 for $3.50, which is
now worth $4,000.
Aside from the increase in value
the crops taken from this ten acres
has paid far more than interest and
the costs of the improvements.
So that on an investment of $3.50
a piece of orchard land has increased
in value $29,250, or near 1000 per
cent in eight years, or an average of
500 per cent each year during that
period.
