PET PIGEON SAVES BOY,
Carries Warning Back Home
and Summons Rescuer.

York, Pa, May 21.-His pet pig
con probably saved the life of James
Myers, 7oungster on a farm near
Hanover, when the boy met with a
peculiar accident in climbing over a
fence.
He slipped and tumbled among
some tangled vines, which caught his
fe and held him head downward
above a rocky ravine about six feet
deep. In this position he struggled,
but was unable to disengage himself.
The pigeon, which had been raised
by the boy, was following him as it
always did on his tramps. 1t flew
back to the barn, tapping about and
cooling in such an unusual manner
that the boys father followed it to
the ravine in time to save his son,
who was unconscious.

LOOKS BETTER
THAN EVER
WHAT GUY C. BROWNE HAS TO
SAY OF THE VALLEY AFTER
VISITING HIS FARM.

''Of all the years that 1 lived in
Wenatchee it never looked any bet
ter than it does right now" is the
way Guy c. Browne expressed him
self today in reference to the outlook
in the valley
Mr.. Browne lived in Wenatchee for
eight years. During that time he saw
the place grow from a village to a
hustling little city. While here,
there were few men in Wenatchee
who have been more instrumental in
it's upbuilding AS manager of the
Columbia Valley Bank he saw that in
stitutiOn grow from small concern
of $4,000 capitalization in the build
ing now occupied by the Daily World
to an institution of 100000 and oc-
cupying the best building in the city.
OF all of the banks holdings in
Wenatchee, Mr.. Browne is especially
interested in the Columbia Vallek
Bank Farm, located at the end of We
natchee avenue overlooking the river.
This comprises 60 acres of orchard
land that they started to improve
three years ago, planting Is or 20
acres that spring. Each year since
then additional acreage has been
planted to fruit trees until the entire
tract is in young orchard. The first
of this is coming into bearing this
year.
The first estimates this spring was
that in addition to the other fruit
they would have about 1900 boxes OF
peaches. Now Mr.. Brown states that
the foreman is going to need $500
peach boxes. This is good show
ing for a young orchard.

Singer closed up his old bakery, and a
day or two later went into bankruptcy.

The competition of Orientals in
the bread making business broke me, =
said Singer yesterday. White bak-

has been made and that Is where the

Its all right to sell twenty and
twenty four loaves of bread for dol

with the credit system the sale Of
bread that way does not pay. Extend
the sale of bread to twenty-eight
Ioaves for dollar. and then make it
