STOCK MARKET REVIEW.
Violent and ErratIc Price Fluctuatlon
 Starts Bull Movement.

New York, Aug. Tt was day of speculative excitement in the stock market and of violent and cratic price fluctuations The bull move ment started on its way prosperously. and reached a new hlghs stage of prices for the year, with great ani- nation and buoyancy in the dealings. At the accelerated pace of the ad- vance the movement overran itself to some extent and paid the penalty in sharp setback. The market was the largest in volume of the present year. Extensive coverings by shorts has been a recognized factor in the later stages of the rise. The distress of the short interest in American Smelling and in National Lead became so acute in the course of the day and the dis position to punish them seemed so ruthless that the speculative temper became discomposed and heavy un- loading of speculative accounts was precipitated. The bears saw a chance to regain an advantage and raided prices downwards in quest for stop 1USS VI Ntl D. | nt lNp puSBtultllii stocks were conspicuous features from the outset by reason of the late bulge yesterday, when IA points had been added to yesterdays 1-4 point gain ill American Smelling and jumps of a full point between sales were made the market took alarm.

Several prominent operators who left the city last week for a long va cation, were seen in the street yester- day When asked why he returned so quickly, one of these men said. Do you think l could stay away with this bull movement going on?" The others were equally optimistic.

It was the heaviest days trading in American Smelling and Refining that has occurred this year, the total for the first three hours being 100000 shares. Only two other stocks-Union Pacific and Reading-were more ac- tive than this, There was no real news to justify the sensational ad- vance in Smelting, aside from the theory that number of bears had been caught heavily short and were being driven in. These men had ap- parently sold more Smelting on the Lawson advertisement, remembering that it often proved profitable to sell stocks when that operator advised their purchase Copper and lead metals have been advancing this week; another advance of 1-S cent q pound was made in copper yesterday all of which benefits American Smelling.

The course of the railroad issues was interesting to watch. They had the appearance of being buoyed up by the industrials, as if in need of sup port. itumors were current that Union Pacific would be lifted on this movement above 160. St. Paul to 14S, Northern Pacific to 147, Reading 70 1S0, and all sorts of extravagant fg- ures. But these predictions made traders all the more suspicious. They contended that with such poor earn ings as are now coming to hand, the railroad stocks are far too high, and that they are merely being put up to enable somebody to get out.

LARGE CROWD
HEARS BAND
VERY PLEASING PROGRAM REN.
DERED BY THE BAND ON FRI.
DAY EVENING.

Another excellent concert was rem
dered by the Wenatchee Military
band on Friday evening at the park.
The evening was a pleasant one,
and despite the fact that so many We
natchee people had gone to Seattle
during the day the concert was large
ly attended.
The audience was representative
one. Both young and old were there
and enjoyed themselves thoroughly.
The lights, peeping here and there
among the trees, the children playing
around, little groups of people stand
ing about or strolling along the
lawns, together with strains of sweet
music produced a very pretty effect,
reminding one almost of scene on
some fete night on a college campus.
These concerts are not only pleas
ure and an event for the people but
are a decided credit to the band and
to Wenatchee as well.

What to Read and How to Read 1t.


Reading is part of the great uni
versal pursuit of happiness. Also it
is sea to drown care and sword to
kill time, 1t is pastime, like golf,
only much better one. / read be-
cause / enjoy reading. l try not to
pretend to like things l don't like
and when l am bored | try candidly
to admit the fact. l have again and
again failed to get through master
pieces, or even to perceive that mas
terpieces are masterpieces. There
fore | no longer attempt to read
them. But at the same time | do
not make practice in my quest of
enjoyment of discarding every book
that threatens to prove tedious.
The main principle which should
underlie the reading of every man
is the esthetic or intellectual bliss to
be derived from reading. His peru
sails should fall into two divisions
the disciplinary and the purely joy
Gus. When he is beginning to form
his taste in imaginative literature
his disciplinary reading should consist
of classical masterpieces. AS time
proceeds, the inexperienced student,
growing experienced, will discover
that his joyous reading approximates
more and more to his disciplinary
reading He will discover that the
verdict of the ages was right, even
though it did not accord with his
own early views. He will discover
that the reason why the classical
writers from Homer to whom you
please are esteemed and immortal is
not primarily because they are deep
and correct, and restrained, and
shapely, but primarily because they
give JOY, sheer joy, to the largest
number of cultivated readers.-T. P.
O'Connor.

The Cashmere Record pays the fol-
lowing tribute to A. F. Estes:
'One of the warmest, most ardent
and persistent boosters in the We
natchee Valley is A. F. Estes. He
can truly be called a rustler and busy
man. His residence in the valley
dates back to $50, and since then he
has been identified with the advance
ment of the county in several ways;
always being at the front when he
could be of service, and placing the
material interests Of the community
in which he lived above his own per-
sonal desires and ambitions
Mr.. Estes was appointed deputy
sheriff under NJ. 4. Rush of Okano-
gan county (then part of Cbelan
county,. This was in the day Of the
construction of the roadbed Of the
Great Northern. which marked an
epoch OF lawlessness and hardship
So faithfully and conscien -i0usly did
Mr.. Estes discharge the duties OF his
Office in this troublesome time that
he was again appointed. Through
the personal influence of Mr. Estes,
Mr. Rush was elected to a second
term in the sheriff's Office, in spite
of the war and intrigue in his own
party to defeat him.

MANY LEFT AT
CASHMERE
G. n. AGENT REFUSES TO SELL
MORE TICKETS ON ACCOUNT
OF LACK OF FACILITIES.

Cashmere, May %, 190S.-The
board has closed schools Monday and
Tuesday for those who wanted to go
to Seattle. The high school held ses-
sions, however. Professor Lynch and
seven teachers are in Seattle.
Crowds wait patiently all day for a
chance to go to Seattle, but the agent
refused to sell tickets most of the
time, so many were disappointed.
Cashmere sent a very large contin-
gent to the Sound, but there is big
ger crowd that did not go because
the Great Northern failed to provide
facilities.
1t is feared that there may be some
loss from the recent rain. The bios
som period is the correct time to
spray for the Goblin moth, but on ac-
count of the rain a great part of the
blossoms closed without being spray
| ed The moths have been seen flying
| about considerably in orchards, SO
the loss may be considerable.
| A. C. Jones, Cashmere's mayor,
has disposed of his interests prepara-
tory to removal to Canada, where he
will make his future home. He left
for the Sound this week. No action
regarding a municipal executive has
| been taken, but the matter will be
| disposed of at next weeks council
meeting.
The union high school board has
elected Superintendent Lynch, Miss
Miller and Mr.. Lindsay as the high
school faculty. Mr.. Lynch has ac-
cepted, but the others will teach else
where owing to more flattering offers.
