RECORD BREAKING
SHIPMENT
CARLOADS OF
CHEZ VALLEY IN ONE NIGHT.

Last night twenty-seven cars of
fruit were shipped from Wenatchee.
This is the largest shipment for one
day ever made from this point. Sew
en- express cars were made up into q
separate section going west. number
three being unable to carry the heavy
extra load. Five cars went by freight
to Seattle. The eastbound freight
took fifteen cars.
The extra large shipment at this
time is due to the unusually warm
weather of the past week. 1t was the
high tide of the peach market. For
tunately for this valley this plethora
of fruit will not cause any diminution
of demand or falling of price. The
Yakima growers and shippers are at
war with the Seattle commission men
and the latter for two weeks now
have refused to accept any consign-
ments from North Yakima. This has
caused an extraordinary demand in
the big Sound city for the Wenatchee
crop. Incidentally the Yakima ship
pers are not looking with any too
much kindness upon Wenatchee at
this time.

MAKES BIG
SALE OF LAND
MARTIN SPENCER DISPOSES OF
HIS SPOKANE PROPERTY FOR
$25,OOO.-PART OF THE OLD
HOMESTEAD.

Martin Spencer is just in receipt
of a wire from his agents at Spokane
to the effect that the Morningside
Addition of that town of which he
was the owner has been sold. For
it he will receive the sum of $25, 900.
The Morningside Addition owned
by him was plated little over
year ago, and named after the Morn
ingside Addition to Wenatchee.
The tract sold is a part of the old
homestead taken up by his mother
twenty-five years ago. At that time
Spokane was a town no larger than
Wenatchee is to day. After taking
up 100 acres 200 more were bought.
At that time the land in question
was miles in the country.
At the present time the electric
line to Occur d'Alene runs through
the property, and plan is on foot to
irrigate the tract by means of wells,
as is done at Opportunity, a few
miles further out.

OF The present day who would capitu-
late in a matter of vital prin ciple for
the sale of a few lines in De Bretts
Peerage a. though this were the Book
of Life and the college of heralda were
the clerks of the Recording Angel;
but Katharine Elkins is not a woman
of that weak-willed, com plaisant type.
She is an American, born and bred,
and the effete and outgrown system of
contractural alliance, known upon the
Continent as the morganatlc, mar
riage, will not do for her. A inorganic
TIC marriage, Of course, is legally valid
and morally respectable; it merely
ignifies that the woman renounces
for her children and herself all claim
to the:rank and title and husband. 1t
Is a tacit admission of inferior birth
and humber social station. 1t signi-
ties to the world at large that there is q
hopeless, unabridgable gulf betwixt the
status of the royal or !quasl-roya. hus-
band and the wife, who is a "com-
moner.n
If Miss Elkins AID the Duke were
left n than ln,t
ting interference of the court and the
Queen Dowager, there can be no,denbt
of their decision. They are the unhappy
victims of a reasonlsss and cruel sys-
tenn. The poet hovelace to his Lucasta
said, 81 could not love thee, dear, so
much, loved | n 0t honor more.n Kath-
arlne Elkins is unwilling to purchase
her felicity at the expense of an signo-
bic compromise. There can be little
doubt, even though there has been no
formal plighted roth, that the afec-
tons Of the royal sutton and the Amer
can girl are implicated to such an ex-
tent that the separation spells tragedy
IN the life of either. II all the world
loves lover, all the world must grieve
that the insensate opposition of the
Dswager Queen of Italy has prevent
an alliance and blighted the happi-
ness of lprince of the House of Sa-
voy and an American girl, who will
not sacrifice what is due her woman

Got Duc.sina Bat Caught The Deer.

1t is not often a man catches and
kills full grown deer by hand, but,
that is what Silas Milleson did last
Wednesday says the Rompey Review.
Some ones dog brought a four prong
buck INTO the river ut the Long ford
near Milleson's house. lie happened
to be crossing the river, at the time and
saw the deer SWIMMING across. lie
rode down to where the deer was COM
ing out and plunged his horseiin,mee!-
ing the deer. The latter made at the
horse and showed fight. When it
lunged at tine horse, which made for
the pank, but he swung onto the horns,
got the deer head under the water-
drowned it and dragged his prize
ashore. He got a good dncking but
likewise got the deer.

Recalls Certain Contributions.

hecall5 certain Contrl buttons.
(From Statement Of Thomas K. Wat
SON.
Bryan well knew that the Parker
campaign fund of 1904 was raised by
the Wall street element OF his party.
He said so time and time again in pub
lie speeches and written editorials.
"Yet, he himself did not hesitate to
use that campaign fund. 1t was the
money of Ryan and Belmont which
paid for the luxurious special train en-
ployed by Bryan in his campaigning
for Parker.
According to Bryan himself, tho
source of the campaign fund of Judge
Parker was certainly not less than was
that Of the campaign fund of Roose-
welt
organs own brother and brother-in-
law got $4,000 of the Parker funds
and violated the law of Nebraska by
their failure to render an account of
what went with it.
THAT $4,000 came from August
Belmont and Thomas F. Ryan, two of
the most notorious Of corporation Grim
inals and corruptionists, and although
Bryan said he would refund the money
he has not done so.
Before Bryan fires off his man Pet
tigrew at me again he had better do
on, Of two things. either disgorge Ryan
and Belmont's $4,000 or explain what
became OF it."
