GRAMS SEEKS
FACTORY SITE
Watervilie Harness Man Would Fain
Start Big Shop Here.-Look-
ing for Location.

If ne ca1 fld a suitable location,
Chas. A. GRAMS of Waterville is
planning to start a harness factory
in Wenatchee,
He called on several prominent
citizens Tuesday, and expressed him
self as very desirous of securing a
proper location, saying that if sue
cessful he would open a wholesale
and retail harness business here,
employing at least six expert harness
makers. 1t would be his plan, he
said, to supply his Waterville retail
store and other retailers in sur
rounding towns with harness and
saddlery supplies made in Wenat-
chez
The coming of such an industry
would mean a probable payroll Of
81, 900 a month or more, and would
be just another business added to the
city. Mr.. Grannis estimated that he
would have to put in about 10000
worth OF stock, q power plant to op-
crate the machines used in the man
ufacture OF harness. etc, and would
need a good-sized building for the
purpose.
Such a manufacturing industry
would be royalty welcomed and lib

BIG PUBLISHER
SAW WENATCHEE
Mcclure, of McClure's Magazine. VIII
Print Booster Story of this
Valley.

r. B. Mcclure, one of the three
brothers who publish McClure's mag
azine, was in Wenatchee yesterday,
and unfolded tale which made peo-
pie who heard il feel glad.
His publishing house has lately Sc
cured control of The Suburban
Home" a magazine widely known
among city people in whom the call
of country life has sounded. The OBJ
ject of McClure's visit to Wenatchee
was to collect fruit statistics and a
few Photographs for a write up OF
Washington horticultural industries,
which is soon to appear in the jour-
nal named.
Mr.. Mcclure was under the pro-
tecting wing of w. T. Clark while
here, and obtained interviews with
ranchers Cooper, Philip Miller and
others. They gave him information
as to how much money could be made
per acre in various fruit industries.
Miller adding that he had known OF
bnt one peach failure in 33 years.
The New York publisher expressed
profound astOnishment at the fancy
figures enumerated, and remarked
that perhaps the most satisfactory
method of securing an exhaustive
and authentic Write-uD for his maga-
zine would be to send special cor
respondent to reside in the valley for
several weeks, and CLEAN information
al first hand.
The eminent publisher seemed es-
pecially impressed with the fact that
it was considered a good investment
to build so expensive a bridge as the
structure spanning the Columbia for
the prime object of watering the not
extensive area on Southside.
The magazine man left on the
eastbound passenger yesterday after
noon, promising to take up the ques-
tion of the Wenatchee horticultural
story at once.

ARE
POURING IN
Estimated That Over $4,000 VIII
Come Through Spokane De-
pot this Season.

Spokane, March 12.-Colonists
and homeseekers from various parts
of the middle western, eastern and
southern states are coming into the
Inland Empire OF the Pacific North
west on every westbOund train and
officials of the transcontinental lines,
operating this part of the country
declare the influx this spring will be
the largest in the history Of western
railroads. While hundreds are COM
Ing into eastern Washington and
northern Idaho to take up farm
lands or settle in new towns along
the lines Of the Chicago, Milwaukee
& ST. Paul and the Spokane, Port
land & Seattle railroads, now under
construction in Idaho and Washing
ton, as man more are going into 9th
er parts of the Pacific states.
Many of these people will take up
government lands in Washington un-
stone acts, while others are buying
raw lands north and west of Sp0-
kane with the view to putting in
crops this spring. Not a few are
spying out land for colonies from
Iowa, Nebraska, Minnesota, Indiana
and Michigan, and will return next
fall. Some are also taking advantage
of the colonists' rates to visit the
northwest on sightseeing trips. 1t
is estimated that the influx to the
Spokane country was near the 10000
marq during 1907, but traffic officials
say this will be eclipsed this year.

Reeollecting the obligation he was
under to Enrico's father, Carlo felt
that it would not do to refuse his hos
pitalIty, though, truth to tell, he had
never felt less inclined for visit to
the kind German household. He, the
laughter-loving, felt that he could not
endure the sound of laughter; he, the
impnlsivc and unreflecting, had actu-
ally come to such point that he de-
sired nothing so much as quiet and
solitude to think out this great ques.
ton.
He did not get much quiet in the
Ritter houehold, but he net with that
heat, vociferous kindness which En-
rieois family knew so W I'll how to be-
stow. Frau Ritter had never before
been so motherly, the daughters of
the house never so anxious to do what
they could for him Enrico himself
was unusually silent; he watched his
friend narrowly, perceviing from his
face that matters must be worse
rather that better since their last
meeting Possibly, however, the part
ing with his sister might account for
the troubled expression he bore; and
when, after dinner, the two friends
were left alone, Enrico turned eagerly

thought they would be, not over, but
just begun. He had not yet told En-
rico of Piales little plot, for he knew
hat his riend would favor no plan

that he was not yet strong enough to
stand arguments for the side on
