MARRIAGE CONVENIENCE.

Hence the creator of the Coop

Anything done purely for money is

HOW SHALL WE CEMENT

The following paper was read at
the County Horticultural association
meeting this week:
The question, How shall We &C.
ment the horticultural interests of
, Chelan County, said Captain Nc
Dermott, 'presupposes a condition
in which those interests are not ce-
mented. Had the topic assigned ne
been, Why Should the horticultural
interests of Chelan County be unit
ed?' | could undertake to give many
ready answers, for all are agreed
that the interests of the fruit grow
ers of the county are common. If
there is any lack of union, or any
seeming Indifference anywhere,
take it that it is because fruit grow
ers have been so busily occupied as
individuals in making the very best
of their orchards that they have not
had time to mix in the affairs of their
neighbors.
The time is at hand, however,
where there must be more co-opera-
tion-more combined effort in pro-
noting all the county's horticultural
interests. Already in one form the
county horticultural association and
the auxiliary societies, there are
movements we'll calculated to that
end. There should be an auxiliary

Seattle Man Comments on the

The Daily World is in receipt of
a letter from G. A. Virtue, of the
Virtue Yerkes company, Seattle, a
company which owns lands in Moses
Coulee, and which is doing much
work along the lines of improvement
of that section. In this letter Mr..
Virtue suggests plan for the i'm
provement of this river which is
worthy of the consideration of the
Commercial Club of this city as he
suggests.
The recent article in the world
dealt with the idea of damming the
Columbia river at Rock Island, and
suggested the plan of securing an
appropriation from Congress from
the Rivers and Harbors apportion-
ment for this purpose. A dam at
this place would make the river ma
vigable between Wenatchee and
Priest Rapids. The letter says:
