GREAT FRUIT COUNTRY
RAPIDLY DEVELOPING
New Plantations on Columbia
River at Meyers Falls

Rapid Development of Planta-
tons Irrigated Tracts at Meyers
Falls on the Columbia River are
being pushed by Sparks Bros, OF
Snokane, Washington, the new
owners, and it is only question
of time until the new rival of Yak
ina and Kennewick districts will
make itself felt.
This cnterprising firm secured a
large tract of land, made arrange

power of Meyers Falls, bought the
water rights, had everything III
readiness and sprung Plantations
on the people of Meyers Falls be
fore they realized the wonderful
possibilities Of the soil and climatic
conditions of the country.
Plantations is the name given
their tract by the owners and is APP
propriate name for lands located as
they are, between the Columbia
and Colville Rivers, being 1900
| feet above sea leyel, surrounded by
mountains, making it beautiful
spot for an ideal home. Men of
experience in the fruit business
have been buying there recently.
{. W. Dossctt of North Yakima,
says Stevens county is unquestion-
ably the natural home of the winter
apple, Geo. S. Morley, President
of the Stevens County Fruit Grow
crs Union says, nine tenths of the
fruit marketed from Stevens county
is shipped from Meyers Falls.
Stevens county winter apples are
of the superior quality necessary to
enable them to take a prominent
place alongside the we'll known
fruit of Wcnatchee, Yakima and
Hood River, in the discriminating
markets of New York and Chicago,
where only the finest Pacific Coast
fruits can be sold.
\ large box factory is now being
built by the Gerhardt- BradcriCk
Lumber Company, to accommodate
the demand for fruit boxes. A
canncry company is being organic
cd and 10000 has been pledged for
a starter, parties i'll Chicago taking
$4,000 and Sparks Bros. $1,000.
Other stock holders have pledged
$1,000, and it is expected to have
fully Sl2,O subscribed in few
weeks. Plant will be in operation
in time to handle this years fruits
and vegetables.
A new 2O-room hotel is Just be-
ing started by J. w. Turner, and a
movement is on foot to incorporate
the town. The columbia Gate
way a ncwsy, clean, and attrac-
tive paper is Just being established.
The electric light plant at Mey-
crs Falls supplies the electric light
for Colvillc, Kettle Falls, Kehoe,
Mission, Ward, Winslows Mills
and Meyers Falls. A good graded
school, employing five teachers, is
maintained ten months each year
a Congregational church building
is Just being completed; Methodist,
Baptist, and Catholic churches,
have organizations there. Two
trains daily run between Meyers
and Spokane. Navigation OH the
Columbia River is now being open
ed up by the government. Seventy
five carloads of apples were shipped
from there in 1907 by the Stevens
County Fruit Growers Union.
There is a fall of 1872 feet in the
Columbia river, known as Meyers
Falls, which generates $4,000 cleo
trical horse power, and the Kettle
Falls in the Columbia River will
generate $4,000 horse power.
The possibilities of this town,
and the country surrounding 1t,
have been overlooked until secured
by Sparks Bros, who are rapidly
developing the town and Planta-
tons, having about one hundred
men working installing water
works, and improving Plantations.
Apples shipped from Meyers
Falls brought 81. 90 per box net to
the shipper in New York, after
paying expense of shipping and
packing.

SPEECH ON POLITICS
AND POLITICIANS
Principles, Not Men, Desirable
Characteristics.

Before the Jefferson club at {
Nebraska State University Richard
L. Metcalfe spoke OH Politics and
Politicians. Following is the
conclusion of the address:
Some time ago some writer
whose name | do not just now re-
call, said that we were just emerg-
ing from. the Teddy Bear period
and in the event of Mr.. Bryan 5
election we would enter the Billy
Donk period during which time the
children of the country would be
CARRYING around miniature donkeys
even as they now carry around
miniature bears. Evidently in the
opinion of this man the election Of
Mr.. Bryan would mean another
period of hero worship.
Il would advise the young man
to make his heroes inpersonal.
The principle is ali too often sacri-
feed in the worship of an indivi-
dual and there is no man i'll politics
or out of it who is entitled to that
form of attention. The practice of
setting men upon pedestals is an
injustice to both the man on the
pedestal and to the cause he is pre-
sumed to represent. The men
who set up the hero expect more
Of him than a common human be-
ing can deliver, and we become so
wrapped up III the hero that we
come to believe that whatever he
does is right, putting stop to our
own reasoning process and soon
the hero himself comes to imagine
that he can do no wrong. The re-
suit is not beneficial ia any of the
parties Immediately concerned in
the hero worship nor, indeed, to
any of their neighbors.
l have high respect for Mr..
Roosevelt. l think he has served
the American people we'll in open
ing their eyes to some Of the evils
OF the day. But think he has
been spoiled to certain degree by
the extraordinary popularity he
has enjoyed. | think that most of
the blunders he has made has been
due to the fact that he has been q
Will call it, the victum (rather than
the beneficiary of the American
peoples unhappy disposition to
exalt human being. Mr.. Roose-
welt is good man, but if half Of
the men who have paid exaggerat
ed tribute to him had cheercd him
When, plainly, he did right and
checked him when, plainly, he did
wrong, he would occupy a higher
place IN history than that which,
IN my view, will be accorded him.
Al Mr.. Roosevelt's admirers had
oeen more faithful to principles or
Lao given more practical consider
auon to the reforms for which Mr..
roosevelt was presumed to stand,
'nen Mr.. Roosevelt would not to-
Jay be champion Of the Aldrich
currency bill or an advocate of the
snip subsidy measure; his preferred
candidate for the republican nom
,ua'on would be Robert NJ. LaI'ol-
.e''e' the known and movable,
,ns'ead OF William A. Taft, the un-
Anown and unknowable.

su'ated president of the United
''ases he will be exempt from the

COpenhaQen.

More than hundred fires Of an in
cendiary origin have been started in
the Danish capital during the past
three weeks, causing the entire popu-
lation to be kept in a state of constant
anxiety. In more than fifty cases II
was learned that the fires had been
started by means of kerosene. but the
police, although they have been on the
keenest lookout for the perpetrators
have thus far been unable to make any
arrests. A reward Of several hundred
crowns has been offered to any one
who can capture the guilty parties, but
thus far no one has succeeded. Last
Friday, according to Copenhagen dis
patch. two of the buildings occupied
by members Of the diplomatic corps
were set on fire and had not the fire
department been prompt there would
have been big confagration and Dos
sibly loss Of life. 1t is believed by
many that a number Of idle men are
at work setting these fires thinking
that there will be something doing in
the building industry.
A Norwegian students chorus will
during the coming summer pay a visit
to Copenhagen, where they will give a
series Of concerts. The chorus Is CON-
posed Of students Of the Christiania
university.

marriage, will appear, If necessary, as
a witness in her husbands behalf.
