.OP|E READ JOINS
APPLE GROWERS
NOT ED AUTHOR is ACCREDITED
WITH OWNING LAND IN THIS
VALLEY.-IS NOW LECTURNG
ON THE SOUND.

Opie Read, famous the world over
as an author, Journalist and lecturer,
is new touring the northwest. WI IN
be was here last winter he was yc1y
much pleased with this valley, ana
promised % return at some fn;r.e
date ard write a book here. he
S 'und papers accredit him with own
ing Wenatchee realty. The records
dc not show that this is a fact, but
he may have it in his mind to come
back here and invest in apple land
because he was very much enthused
over the prospects of that business.
While in Seattle this week he ex-
pressed himself very enthusiastically
regarding the west and Wenatchee
in particular. The Pr. says: /
HE said that he believed the
northwest to be one of the most ia
vored sections of the United States,
and that his statement is not an
empty compliment is shown by the
fact that he has recently invested in
Washington fruit land, having pur-
chased an extensive orchard near
Wenatchee, which, he declares is the
home of the finest apples in the
world. In discussing the present
and future of the Northwest, Mr..
Read said:
Although a comparatively short
time has passed since l last visited
Seattle, the improvement of the city
since l was here is nothing short of
marvellous. There is no doubt that
Seattle is the coming city of the Pa
cific coast. 1t would not surprise me
that in less than twenty years from
today Seattle would be city of a
million people.
Il may say that the entire North
west lis a land of opportunity. The
life of this section is Kaleidoscope in
it's ceaseless change and activity.
The people are all busy, and yet with
| it all there is certain jreaminess
which pervades it all. The country
is now in it's formative stage, but
later you will see it produce some of
the greatest works of art, music and
literature that the world has ever
known, and it will likewise, in a few
years, be the home of some of the
greatest manufacturing industries of
this great manufacturing country

HAVE To SPEND
S9,6O0,000
ONE OF THE GREAT PROBLEMS
HERE IN FIVE YEARS AS TO
HOW TO GET RID OF THE
MONEY RECEIVED.

county Fruit Inspector P. S. Dar-
llngton and deputies have examined
some $4,000 fruit trees which will
be planted here this fall and the
coming spring. This in conserva-
tive estimate will plant from 1000
to 1850 acres. Most of these trees
were home grown, and if given any,
ways reasonable care are sure to
grow.
1t is safe to say that with the
vast amount of new land that is be-
ing brought under water by reason
of the extension of the Wenatchee
Canal company ditch, and the many
new pumping enterprises that in five
years time there will be $4,000
acres in bearing. At the present
time in the territory Immediately adj
jacent to Wenatchee there cannot be
more than 1000 acres of land in
bearing. 1t is likely that there are
some $4,000 acres that are already
in fruit trees and will be in bear
ing five years hence. The 1900 acres
in bearing in the valley this year
means $1,0O0,000 in revenue to the
growers.
this proposition one day the past
boxes of fruit that might reasonably
be expected to be shipped out of here
in five years time. In the party
were A. A. Bousquet, E. V. Martin,
P. s. Darlington, Percy Scheble and
others. This is the way it was fig
ured, and it seems very reasonable:
Suppose that there will be in five
years time $4,000 acres in bearing in
the valley, Immediately tributary to
Wenatchee. This does not include
Entiat, Orondo, Cashmere, Leaven-
worth, Peshastin or other sections
not in this immediate vicinity. 1t
is safe to say that on every acre
of fruit land there would be eighty
trees, or 100000 in all. Suppose
that each tree averaged ten boxes to
the tree, or 100000 boxes in all.
1t is safe to say that each box of APP
Piles will sell for 81 per box, or a
total yield for the valley of $1,000
900. Roughly figuring it there are
900 boxes to the car, and this would
mean 10000 cars of fruit for the
season. Figuring on 80 cars to the
train load this would mean 533
trains that would have to be shipped
out of here in about two months, or
an average of 10 carloads per day.
This means that the railroad COM
pany would have to increase the
equipment greatly over the present
capacity. 1t also means an army of
help needed to pick, pack and haul
off this crop.
Think of the boxes, nails, paper
and warehouse facilities needed.
Think Nof the stores, amusement
places and supply houses needed to
assist the fruit growers in disposing
of this vast sum of 100000. Fig
uring it in this conservative manner
it needs not a prophetic eye to see
that Wenatchee, the distributing
point for this vast fruit crop, Is
bound to make a wonderful city.

IL! WATERW0RKS
CONTRACT TONIGHT
THE BIG MUNICIPAL JOB is THE
OCCASION OF A LARGE NUM-.
BIER OF OUTSIDE BIDDERS
>FLOCKNG TO THE CITY.

The contract for the municipal
waterworks system is to be let by
the city council tonight. This big
contract, estimated at about $4,000
has brought large number of out
side bidders here. About fifty copies
of the plans and specifications were
printed last month, and were mailed
to the leading contracting firms on
the coast, and as a result there is
going to be no lack of bids. The
specifications provide that each con-
tractor may put in bids for certain
portions of the work and nsed not
bid on the work as a whole. There
is another provision that each bid
must be accompanied by certified
check for one-fifth of the amount of
the bid, and the result is that the
city clerk has on deposit a large
sum of money today. The checks
will be returned to the unsuccessful
bidders.
: Consulting Engineer Hanford, of
Seattle, is in the city and will re-
main until after the contract is let.
Those in the city for the purpose
of bidding on the work are: H. J..

WILL HAVE NEW
POSTAGE STAMPS
POSTMASTER HULL WILL HAVE
NEW ISSUE ABOUT NEW YEARS.
NEW DESIGN AND DIFFER
ENT FROM THE OLD ISSUE.

About the first of the year Post
master Hull expects to receive a ship
ment OF postage stamps which will be
different from any stamps ever used
in this country. The new stamps
will be 1, 2, 4. 5, 6, s, 10, Is, so
cents and 81. The 50 and S. de-
nominations now in use will not be
reprinted. 1t will be some weeks
before all the denominations will be
on the market. The 2-cent stamps
will be the first distributed. Sim
plicity will be the feature of the new
design. Artistic results have not
been overlooked, however. The pro-
file has been taken in each instance
of a full view, giving bas relief
effect. All the stamps are to be of
similar design, containing a head in
AN ellipse, the only decoration being
laurel leaves on either side OF the
Eclipse. A portrait of the head of
the first president of the United
States, George Washington, will
|adorn all the new stamps, except the
1-cent stamps, which will bear the
head of Benjamin Franklin. The
lettering is in straight lines, at the
top is ~. S. Stamp" and at the bot
tom are the words Two Cents"

BEEF. AND CREAM
IN 0KANOGAN
MARKET AND DAIRY CATTLE
ARE GREAT MONEY MAKERS.
-WENATCHEE is THE BIG
SHIPPING POINT.

The cattle industry still leads in
Okanogan county, and the year 1908
will pass into history as the banner
year for the allied cattle and dairy
industry for this section of the
state, says the Conconully Record.
Up to the present time 1000 head
of beef, stock cattle and veal have
been shipped out of the county, and
at least 5000 head have been butch
cred for home consumption. The
total valuation, at a conservative es-
innate, being not less than $275, 900.
The prices this year have been bet
ter than heretofore. Recent sales of
fat cattle for immediate delivery
brought $2.75 while one order, for
delivery December 5, brought So.
A number of stockmen in the
Methow who have an abundance OF
feed, have paid for feeders the u.s.
ual price paid for fat cattle.
Dairy products are also keeping
pace with the cattle market. There
are only three creameries in active
operation in the county, these being
located at Winthrop, Twisp and Con-
conully. The products Of these
three creamerieS, together with the
shipments of cream made from Mol
son, and Chesaw, and the butter
that is manufactured at the ranches,
will easily total $4,000, making
the grand total of the income from
cattle and dairy products fully $780,
900 for the current year. With the
creameries handling an increased out
put the coming year, it is reasonable
to expect that in 1909 Okanogan
county will receive an income OF
fully 100000 from the live stock
and dairy interests.

TO DISTRIBUTE
$4,000 BOOKLETS

The board of directors of the We
natchee Commercial club decided at
"a recent meeting to advertise We
natchee at the National Apple Show
to be held in Spokane next month.
To this end the club is to get out
5000 twelve page booklets. The
booklet will be illustrated by two or
three new cuts, and will give brief
description of the valley and it's pos
|sibilities. 1t is expected that it will
take fully this number of booklets
in order TO get them into the hands
of the strangers at the big apple
show.

APPLES SENT To
NATIONAL SHOW

D. N. Gellatly through the We
natchee Commercial club, shipped
twenty-one boxes of perfect apples
last. night. Four boxes were also
shipped him from c. A. Leedy. These
are to be exhibited first at the Ma
ional Stock Show at Chicago. and
later will be exhibited at other big
fairs.
A great deal of care was taken in
the selection, grading and packing of
these apples, and were as perfect
specimens as could be found in the
Wenatchee valley. This big stock
show opens next month in Chicago,
and is attended by nearly half mill
lion people, and it is safe to say that
Wenatchee will get some good aiver-
Using from the display.

GAVE SUCCESS
Full RECITAL
MISS MARY b. WINANs, ASSISTED
BY MUSICAL TALENT OF CITY
GAVE FINE PROGRAM UNDER
AUSPICES OF W.. C. T. U.

An appreciative audience of about
seventy-five people gathered last eve
ming at the home of w. b. Winans on
Pennsylvania avenue, and listened to
one of the most delightful entertain
ments ever given in this city. Not
only were the members of the w. C.
IT. U. present, for the event was
given under their auspices, but many
of the best people of Wenatchee were
attracted by the talent ana program
as advertised.
The readings given by Miss Wi
mans were varied in nature and
showed that young lady to be the
possessor of decided versatility and
dramatic power. Although she has
enjoyed the advantage of the best
training in one of the foremost
schools of America, her work last
evening was distinguished by natu-
ralness in which one lost all thought
of her art. And, after all, that very
fact betokened her mastery of the
art of expression. She had no man
nerisms, no affectations. Her man
ner was reserved; her simplicity de-
lightful; her climaxes powerful; her
sincerity convincing; her humor
wholesome, and the effect of the
whole was to make the listener feel
was worth while.
Of the selections given by. Miss Wi
mans, perhaps the one which showed
her dramatic power to the best ad-
vantage was a short story written by
Walter Hacket, and entitled His
Fathers Son. The interest of the
audience was intense The last num-
Der of the program was little ditty
which was most gracefully and effec-
lively rendered. Although it was not
musical selection, several members
of the audience were SO led into the
spirit of the piece that they were
observed to be unconsciously keep
ing time on the floor with their feet.
A fine setting for the work of Miss
Winans was given by the musicians.
G. c. Humphreys contributed two
songs that were highly appreciated
Miss Margaret Greenman and Miss
Mona Williams gave piano solos. The
reporter was unfortunate in arriving
too late to hear the first selection
MISS Williams was so much appre-
ciated that she was recalled for an
encore to which she responded grace
fully. Gordon Bruce, the popular
violinist, interpreted Leybach's Fifth
Nocturne to the greatest satisfaction
of all present. While classical
number and one we'll adapted te
showing the artists skill and tech
nique, the melody is always welcom-
ed when the music is properly execut'
ed. Mr.. Bruce is violinist of tenn
permanent. He possesses fine in
strument and is able to get a magni
ficent tone from it. Wenatchee is tC
be congratulated on having an ar
fist of Mr.. Bruce's caliber In the city
/ The sentiment was expressed last
evening that more entertainments OF
this order and given in such pleasant
environments should be offered Mr.
Winans' home was tastefully decorat-
ed, and a neat little stage was i'm
provised where the talent could be
seen from all parts of the three
rooms in which the audience was
seated.

TO Open
FIRST Of YEAR
REX SPRAY COM
PANY WILL BE READY FOR
BUSINESS SOON.-WILL MAKE
1000 BARRELS OF SPRAY SOL
UTION.

Chas. H. Muirhead arrived here
this week to take up his permanent
residence in the city. He and family
are from North Yakima, and Mr..
Muirhead will be in charge of the
new Rex Spray company plant. Mr.
Muirhead stated that the new plant
is almost completed, and will be
ready to commence operations by the
first of the year. This plant, which
will manufacture the lime and sui
phur solution for the determination
|of the fruit pests, has a capacity of
FROM 1900 to 1000 barrels of spray
ing so&dtion per season, but Mr.. Muir
head stated to a World representa-
tive this morning that it was likely
that the entire output this year
would no be in excess of 1000 bar
rels. This would about supply the
try.
The plant, when in operation. en-
plOys six or seven men all the time,
and means an increased payroll for
the city.
The Rex Spray company is North
Yakima Incorporation, though there
are a number of local stockholders.
The company bought out the business
of Ned Derry, who last year estab-
lishei a small plant here for the
manufacture of fruit pest dope. The
president of the company is Charles
H. Human, Of North Yakima, a
brother of Ed Human, of Cashmere.
The secretary is P. D. Backcock, of
North Yakima. The plant is locat-
ed near the cannery.

TO SPOKANE IN
A SPECIAL CAR

The Commercial club management
have discussed the matters OF get
ting I'D an excursion here for the
National Apple Show at Spokane next
month. The citizens generally nave
talked this matter over, and II is
conceded that there would be no
trouhle in filling a special car from
this place. A rate will be announced
in few. days, and it is thought that
at least one car will be run from
here

MEMORIALS TO
CITY EDUCATORS
Primary Teachers Association
to Honor Memories of Mr..
Harlan and Miss Williams

Two handsome memorial tablets will be
placed soon in the halls OF the High
School. one to the late assistant superin-
tendent Of schools. Miss Mary c. l. VIII
liams. and one to the late superintendent
OF school, David W. Harlan.
The matter Of commemorating the
names of these persons who did so much
and worked so faithfully for the upbund
OF the public schools in this city. by
erecting to them fitting memorials In the
halls Of the High School has been one that
the Primary Teachers Association has
been celebrating. At a recent meeting OF
the association the subject was brought
up and IL was decided to place the matter
in charge Of Miss Clara Mendinhail Of
No. 80 Adams street, she to appoint a
committee OF three 10 confer relative TO q
suitable memorial.
Although the matter has rested since
that time, because Of the rush Of other
duties that have come with the opening Of
the schools. It Is probable now that Miss
Mendinhall will appoint her committee thii
week and call them TO meet to consider
plans.
It is probable that the memorials will
be similar in design to that which wss
erected in memory Of Charles Baird. As
yet. however the matter has not been dis
cussed to any extent, the only thing
positive being that the association will re-
quest teachers OF the city public schools
to contribute toward a fund for the erect
ing OF the tablets.
Miss Mendinhali said yesterday that shA
would probably call a meeting OF the com-
mittee this week.
