a VEGETABLE WORTH GROWING.
Celeriac, or celery knobs, can be

because its many excellencies are un-

Celeriac is very near relative of
the familiar table celery, but having
large knob-like roots instead of crisp
tender stalks.
The roots are about the size of a
tnrnip and are sold in punches of
three, costing three or four cents a
bunch in the vicinity Of New York.
Two punches will serve the average

didates in the field it is hard g les:
as to the result. If our several coun-
ties would stick together we would
WELD a good deal of influence in the
choice. Mr.. Field is the logical can
didate for this section, and 1 believe
he will carry this county with good
margin. The most lasting work
can be done in the next three weeks.

Candidate for County Engineer Sub
ject to the Republican Primaries,

Candidate for County Engineer Sub
ject to the Republican Primaries.
Owing to the fact that there are
no names upon the democratic pri-
mary ballot for county engineer, the
selection for that office will be made
at the primaries, which are to be held
September s.
Among the candidates for the Of
flee is Fred NJ. Berry, present deputy
to Engineer Navarro. In giving his
reasons for his election to the Office,
Mr.. Berry, in letter to the voters,
cites the following:
1. For over two years have
been with Mr. Navarro the present
county engineer as deputy county en-
gineer, and have learned all the de-
tails of the field and Office work.
2. Many new Office reforms have
been started and pushed by Mr.. Ma
varre that should be finished.
3. Across the Wenatchee River
have been built recently four steel
bridges, across Peshastin Creek and
Mason Creek two permanent spans
have been erected, and Dry Creek be-
low Wenatchee has been bridged.
All these bridges are a credit to the
county, to the contractor and to the
Engineer, and in having small
share in completing these bridges
claim a small share of the credit.
4. In the past few years the road
records have been overhauled and in
cases where either no survey is on
record or where old surveys have not
tied to government corners, resur-
veys have been ordered and made, or
have been recommended. This is to
protect the interests of the public in
general, to prevent any encroach-
ments or fencing of an established
road.
There is yet much work to be
done:
5. A record of franchises (tele-
phone, hume, waterpipe, etc., let to
private parties on the different coun-
ty roads should be classified and kept
for ready reference.
6. Bridges should be classified
their condition each year noted, lack
of paint, need of flooring and whole
history of each bridge should bt
made, so that any private party de
string information could understand
at a glance in what condition eacf
was in.
] Z. Road work will become cspe
cially important in the next few
lyears. The state. is creating new, cas-!
grade highways, one of which will
undoubtedly pass down the Wenat
chez valley, benefiting the who'll
county. One acquainted with road
ways of the county should be in thu
Engineers Office.
8. If you know me and think mi
capable-vote for me.
8. If elected I will devote m,
time entirely to the interests of thu
county.
