A Word to OrChardiStS

Some forty thousand apple trees that
were put out three years ago will come
into first bearing this year. Not every
tree will bear, perhaps not more than a
fourth of the young trees will bear
apples this year. Enough, however,
will blossom and bear to show what
can be done in the way of growing
apples at this altitude. An expert
enced orchardist told the writer a few
days ago that not more than two or
three apples should be allowed to ripen
on the trees and that the trees that are
allowed to bear should be we'll cult
waited and watered regularly. In this
way you will get the choicest speci-
mems of exhibition fruit. This part of
the Wenatchee valley will produce a
very superior grade of fruit, but we
must convince the skeptical that the
statement is true.

UTAH's UNIQUE BUILDING
Will Represent Ancient Indian style
of Architecture.


Seattle, April 20.-The contract
for the erection of the 100000 Utah
state building at the Alaska-Yukon-
Pacific Exposition has been let and
work on the structure is to begin at
orce. Governor Spry, who has been
IN Seattle for several days, has re-
turned home.
The Utah building will be unlike
any other on the grounds. 1t will
represent a style of architecture that
was used by the Hopi Indians in
Southern Utah, who fiourished con-
temporaneously with the cliff dwell
ers. The exterior of the building
will be plastered in imitation OF
adobe. Quaint old carts and imple-
ments of the Pueblo Indians will be
placed on the grounds, and the
whole will be in striking contrast
with the classic and renaissance
types to be seen elsewhere at the
exposition.

Another newspaper with hyphe-
mated name as the result of CONSOLE
dalton. We have been wont to think
Waitsburg with its $500 population a
prosperous town, but it seems that it
was not big enough to support two
newspapers, says press dispatch in
the daily papers. The Times and the
Gazette, learning from experience that
there was not enough patronage to
support two papers, last week con-
solidated. Country newspaper men
are showing signs of returning reason.
They demand something beside glory.

this, like the troubles of a country
newspaper man, must be expected,
we can not say, as we have had but
little experience in municipal affairs in
a small town.
This note of warning is sounded,
and some past history recalled, to put
the people upon notice that very
important matter may be submitted to
their judgment in few months.

One Of the things that should not
be forgotten is the possibilities Of eS-

edged to be the best and cheapest
power in the world.

Mr.. Hartman said it was none Of
the peoples d-n business how much
railroad stocks were watered so long as
the railroads give the people good SER

the courts had not repeatedly said that
the freight and passenger rates are
fixed by the amount of stocks and
bonds, both watered and unwatered,
that hang over the railroads. Once
the watered stock becomes a vested"
right the people must pay the freight.

De Witt c. Britt, editot of the
Chelan Leader, died at his hame on

He had not been in good health for

The many friends OF Rev. IT, b.
Hines throughout the Gulf Conference

of the ST. Charles Methodist church
of New Orleans. Rev. }, w. HerYey'
pastor of that church, will take up the
duties of presiding elder, in Rev.

his new field of labor the latter part OF
this week. He will carry with him

TOO MUCH ENTHUSIASM.

A horse partially wrecked thea
ter at Verviers, Germany, the other
day, owing to the excessive enthusi-
asm of the heroine in a melodrama.
Mile. Peguillon, the heroine, was fly
ing from the villain, mounted on her
fiery charger, when there was a tre-
mendous crash, and horse and rider
disappeared through the stage. The
heroine had ridden too fast, and the
flooring could not stand the strain.
The horse was eventually extricated
from the debris with broken leg,
and the theater was closed for re-
pairs.

DEVELOPED A NEW INDUSTRY
Mrs. George w. Vanderbilt Has Really
Done Good on Her North
Carolina Estate.

Mrs. George W. Vanderbilt is
taking personal interest in the work
of women in Biltmore, N. e., at
various forms of weaving. The idea
originated with Mrs. Vanderbilt,
who saw an opportunity for the
wives and daughters of many men
employed on the Biltmore estate,
and also of others employed near
there, to engage in light and profit
able home employment. She brought
two expert weavers from New York,
and instruction was given to q class
Of so women and girls. The result
has been surprising, as these 81
graduates have made their knowl-
edge general. The chief wo. OF
the Biltmore weavers is the manu-
facture of blue and white counter
panes of an old-fashioned pattern
and so great has been the demand
that it seems as if all other lines Of
weaving will be dropped for thu
counterpanes. Mrs. Vanderbilt ha'
given Biltmore new and growing
industry, and she frankly admit
taking pride in her achievement.
