Crab Has 100000 Joints.

The crab known as the scale tailed
apus was believed to have become ex-
tinct in Great Britain fifty years ago.
the last recorded specimens being TAX
en- in the ponds on Hampstead heath.
But now it has turned up again in
some numbers in two ponds on Pres
ton Merse, near Southwick, in Kirk
cudbrightshire. About two and half
inches long. the apus bears a very
striking likeness to that remarkable
creature, the king crab, and this be-
cause the fore part of the body is COW
cred by a great semicircular shield or
carapace, while, as in the king crab,
it swims on it's back. In the great
number Of it's legs the scale tailed
apus has few rivals, while in the num-
Der of the points which these share
between them no other creature can
compare. The naturalist Schaffer once
essayed the task of counting them and
made the magnificent total of 1902
604. Latrelle put down the number at
a round 0,OOO.-London Graphic.

The three acres bought by L. v.
Wells were sold by him in 1908 to J.
Obernolte for 50, 900.
In 1906 Obernolte sold to Eugene
Page for 5000. 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 $2o, $50, or near 1000 per cent
in eight years, or an average of 500
per cent each year during that period.
The land referred to above is in the
immediate vicinity of the town. The
same character Of land can still be
bought in this valley, near Leavenworth
where development has not yet reached
the stage that it has near the town Of
Wenatchee for what the land referred
to above brought seven years ago.
Every FIVE acres Of irrigated orchard
land in this part of the Wenatchee
Valley will inside of ten years, be
worth from FIVE to ten thousand dollars.
If there is an acre OF land in the
state of Washington that is worth
$4,000 for fruit raising it is located in
this part Of the Wenatchee Valley.

LAND IN WENATCHH VALLEY
Worth $3.50 in 1900. Now Worth $24,.
50O,-Neahy Four thousand
Per Cent Increase

The sale of four and half acres of
land in the Wenatchee valley, this
side of the town Of Wenatchee, the
past week, caused the World to drop
into retrospective mood and make
some land value comparisons as follows.
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 orchard land
throughout the valley.
In 1900 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 he was so afraid 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 $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 21s acres were sold by Big
ham to Roy Turner for 9,000 and the
other AZ acres were sold Saturday to
A. D. Browning for $40, 500.
