The
General Demand

OF the WellInformed, of the World has
always been for simple, pleasant
and efficient liquid laxative remedy Of
known value: laxative which physi-
clans could sanction for family use
because its component parts are
known to them to be wholesome and
truly beneficial in effect, acceptable
to the system and gentle. yet prompt,
In action.
In supplying that demand with its
excellent combination of Syrup of
Figs and Elixir of SIENNA, the Cali
tornia Fig Syrup Co. proceeds along
ethical lines and relies on the merits
of the laxative for its remarkable
success.
That is one of many reasons why
Syrup of Figs and Elixir of SIENNA, is
given the preference by the Well

Increase in Candy Consumption.

An example of the enormous sums
which the American people spend an
nuallv on Injuries is shown by the
statements in the Confectioner' and Ba-
kers' Gazette, to the effect that the
wholesale value of the candy output in
, the United States for the current year
will exceed $10O,000,OO0. The cost TO
the consumers will run fully $30,000,-
600 in excess of this sum, this repre-
senting the profits Of jobbers and re-
tailers.
The manufacture of candies has been
Increasing in leaps and bounds for the
last three decades until the total cap
of the finished product have reached
tremendous proportions.
According to the United States cen
sus figures the capital invested in the
manufacture of confectionery was 49,,
4s6, s74 in 1880. This had increased il
1890. to 1923 1926, 100, in 1900 to $26,
319, 105 and in 1905 to $43, ,4oS. The
cost of materials used has increased
from $17;125,775 in 1880 to 31,116,
500 in 1890, to $35, 1854 ,20s in 1900, anC
to $4s,s10,342 in 1905. The census
figures report the wholesale value of thu
finished product as 25,637 ,033 in 1880
as $55, 997, 101 in 1890, as $60,643,94'
in 1900 and as $s7, Os7 1858 in 1908. A
the present time there are approximate
ly 800 factories engaged in this work

Association, people in the trade figure
the average value of the finished prod

so that the estimate of 500, 900 900 for
the product this year would mean an
output of approximately 667 100000

RED APPLES FOR PRESIDENT
Two Boxes Wenatchee Valley Apples Sent
to President Roosevelt

Two boxes of the finest Wenatchee
valley Winesap apples exhibited at the
National Apple Show last week are to
be sent to President Roosevelt. The
apples were prize winners in the dis
play of o. G. France of the Wenatchee
valley and are packed in beautiful
boxes, stained and vanished and deco
rated with hand-paintings of clusters of
Winesap apples. The two decorated
boxes will be enclosed in larger box
and sent by express to the president.
The apples that are going to the
White House were a part Of the elabo-
rate display made by Mr.. France in
the special contest for the best indiyid-
ual collection exhibited in ten separate
receptacles.

Wenatchee, in the same time, there
has been set out 5000 or more. There
is located near Leavenworth, in the
Cascade Orchards, a nursery where
homegrown trees, guaranteed true to
name, can be procured.
In the Wenatchee Valley in the vi
cinity of Leavenworth, there is ample
room for at least 100000 more apple
trees. And I state on experience,
that no portion of the famous Wenat-
chez valley is in every way better adap-
ted to the growing Of winter apples
of the best varieties than that in the
vicinity of Leavenworth. Trees will
grow more symmetrical, and therefore
carry larger amount of fruit, because
of an entire absense of wind, and for
the same reason require less irrigation,
and consequently less work, than in
the lower portion of the valley where
there is less shelter from the wind.
This may be questioned but l am sure
time will prove the statement true.
In the region of Wenatchee lake,
including the White river and Little
Wenatchee valleys, there is room for
half million apple trees. With the
completion of the Wenatchee Valley &

FIRST NATIONAL APPLE SHOW

Northern railway next year, giving this
region railroad transportation, it will
be only a short time until this section
is all one vast apple orchard. The land
is we'll adapted to fruit growing, easily
irrigated, and has other attractive ad
vantages. With its lumber industry,
dairying, mining, apple raising and
other agricultural pursuits, this is des-
tined to be one of the wealthiest por-
tons of Chelan county. The man
who comes here now, while land is
yet comparatively cheap, and takes ad-
vantage Of the opportunities will not
have to wait long for a rich reward.
What we need are men who are willing
to take off their coats and help develop
the natural resources.
With such natural resources as cheap
fuel, the best and purest of water for all
purposes, a mild climate and pure at
mosphere, good soil, mines, CONNER
cial timber, fish, game, and the grand
est scenery in the world, it seems that
Leavenworth has been peculiarly fay
ored. The fruit growing industry is
destined to be, in a few years, the
leading industry. F. A. Drebis.

SHIPPING BEGINS NEXT YEAR
Apple Growers in the Wenatchee Valley
Near leavenworth viii Begin
Shipping Next Season

The following story in regard to ap-
pie growing, present and prospective,
in this portion of the Wenatchee valley,
is written by F. A. Drebis, who for
years owned and cultivated an orchard
in the vicinity of the town of Wenat-
chez, but became interested in the
same occupation one and half miles
from here, in what is known as the
Cascade Orchards, four years ago.
The land of the Cascade Orchards
were put on the market in July, 1905.
Approximately there are 600 acres in
the tract. At the present time there
are 100000 winter apple trees growing
on this land. Among the varieties are:
Winesaps, Spitzenbergs, King David,
Jonathan, Delicious, Yellow Newtowns,
and few other varieties. There are
also 1900 pear trees growing in the
Orchards. About 200 acres OF the or
chard will come into bearing the COM
ing summer of 1909. Preparations
have already been made and stock or
dered to plant 10, 900 more apple tree:

diately north of the town there ha:
been set out within the past two year:

Fortunes Made in Wenatchee Valley Land

Fortunes Made in Wenatchee Valley Land
Below will be found few statements
by growers who have made thorough
tests of the fruit business in the Wenat-
chez valley:
Blackman brothers picked from 81
acres of six and seven-year-old trees
10, 200 boxes of marketable fruit in the
season of 1908. These apples sold
from $1.10 to $1.80 per box, accord
ing to variety, fob. cars at Wenatchee.
D. w. Roderick sold from his o-acre
tract of 6-year-old trees, his 1907 ap-
pie crop for $4,000, and from the same
trees his 1908 crop for $4,000.
w. M. Little sold his 1907 crop Of
Winesap apples from four acres of
6-year-old trees for $4451 net. He
sold his 1908 crop from the same trees
for $4,000.
William Turner sold from his Is acre
6-year-old apple orchard in 1908, 1872
boxes, which brought him $18,717,
and from 80 acres of 6 and 7-year-old
trees the 1908 yield was 10, $50 boxes,
which sold for $4,000.
Fred Sterling sold his 1907 crop Of
canteloupes and tomatoes from 7 acres
of land, grown between the trees in
his young orchard, for $1,000. In 1908
he sold the apples from his 8 acres of
6-year-old orchard for $500.
L. w. Smith came to Wenatchee 10
years ago and bought five acres Of raw,
irrigated land for $625, going in debt
for almost the entire amount. His
tract is now in full bearing, and from
previous crops he has built good build
ings on his place, and having sold his
1908 crop for $3.50, has gone to
Long Beach, CAL, with his family to
spend the winter. He has refused
SIS, 900 for his five-acre home, which
is all paid for, having made comforta-
BILE competence. Many others are do
ing quite as we'll, and from this it can
be seen that the assertion so often
made that ten acres is enough" is
easily proved when half the amount
beats any 160-acre grain farm.
