1t Surprised Them All.

w. T. Clark, the man who built
the big Wenatchee irrigation canal,
the enterprise that made the Wenat-
chez valley what it is, and who is
now president of the Wenatchee Can
al company, told a story on himself IN
his address to the conference dele
gates at Wenatchee last week which
illustrates how the marvellous jevel-
opment of the irrigable fruit sections
of Washington during the past few
years has been a surprise to all who
have witnessed it and how the re-
markable rise in land values has far
exceeded the highest anticipatlOns
even of those who had faith that the
future held great promise for the Co
lumbia valley. He said that seven
or eight years ago, when he prophe-
sled in Yakima that land would be
worth 5000 and $500 an acre, and
would talk about it on the streets,
he was dubbed Windy Bill" and
when he afterward came into the
Wenatchee valley and discovered an
other wonderful country in the rough
and then went back and told the
people of Yakima amout it, he was
dubbed "Crazy Bill" but time had
proven that his prophecies had fall
len short about 500 per acre in both
sections.
! 1t is remarkable that there are still
those, and they are many, who, even
with the history of the Yakima and
Wenatchee valleys before them
doubt the future of the Chelan val
ley and the upper Columbia basin
country. What happened in the Yaki-
ma and Wenatchee valleys will be re-
peated in every section Of the state
of Washington where water can be
put onto the land and where the soil
will produce such perfection of fruit
as this section produces; and the man
who owns a tract of irrigable fruit
land anywhere in this valley may
consider his fortune already made

Wants to Know About Land.

R. F. Holm had a letter this week
about her land recently purchased
on a high bluff southwest of Malaga.
The woman was victim of a land
shark who sold her a ten-acre tract
on the bluffs and it is absolutely
worthless. Some half a dozen of
this mans victims have already come
to light and doubtless others will
show up as 1t is said that he sold

GRAND CANYON DEATH TOLL
Venturesome Ones Swept Away by
the Rushing River or Starve.

Venturesome Ones Swept Away by
the Rushing River or Starve.
Every year the river AMI the
Grand Canyon of the Colorado take
their toll in human life," recently
said Frederick S. Dellenbaugh, the
artist-scholar who has painted pic
lures and written books about that
wonderful river that rushes for hun
dreds of miles through gorges hun
dreis of feet deep.
when 1 was with Major Powell on
his exploring expedition through the
Grand Canyon, forty years ago, we
lost several men, and the few other
expeditions that have followed ours
since then all have had to pay the
river the price in the same way" he
continued. "Powell's party was
the first journey white men ever
made down through that perilous
portion of the Colorado River, and
almost every day of the many months
it took us was full of danger. Every
year some lives are lost there Two
years ago skeleton of man was
discovered in Marble Canyon, lying on
rocky shelf little above the whirl-
ing waters of the river. A newspa-
per dated in 1900 was in the pocket
of his coat, so that it was likely that
the man persisted eight years before
at least Whether he was killed
while trying to scale the insurmOunt-
able walls or whether he died of star
walton no one knows.
THAT part of the Colorado river
never gives up its dead. Those who
fall into the waters clutches literally
are dashed to pieces and no trace of
them ever is found.
"The Whirlpool rapids of the Nj
agara river below the falls are ter
rible to contemplate, but it can be
said without exaggeration that the
Niagara rapids are peaceful waters
compared to some of the long
stretches of foam on the Colorado.
The whirlpools of the Colorado are
of the true type-the water swirls
round and round and there is broad,
hollow, funnel-shaped hole in the
center of them, through which one
might peer down a good many feet If
he could hover over it.
mot all the canyons toll, however,
is collected by the river. No one
knows what Unreasonable mineral
wealth is hidden in the canyon walls,
and every year venturesome pros
pectors go into those gloomy depths
seeking treasures that they guard.
These men, through some sudden rise
of water, or for some other reason,
frequently lose their lives in trying
to escape from the canyon. Most of
them, I fancy, go mad with hunger
and die in trying to scale the preci-
pices. It's the most awesome place
in the world-down there where the
river flows, and where it never is
fully daylight, except for few brief
minutes at midday, with the roaring
waters on one hand and the giant
cliffs towering thousands of feet
above

For one who is totally blind to say
that he has been to see game Of base
ball sounds like a contradiction in terms,
yet there Is no one In the grandstand

game than do: 1 follow every play that

rical figure before me and not askew:
then l can keep the players and their
positions from becoming confused. Oppo-
site first and third bases and directly be-
hind the home plate are my favorte posi-
tions. / can then tell most Of the plays
as they are made by noticing in what
part of the field they are made and how
far away the 'spat' of the sphere is from
me. Occasionally it is hard to tell
whether a play is made by the shortstp
or second baseman. but there is usually
some clue that makes it clear.
When the umpire calls Play BALI my
nerves are keyed to the highest pitch and
my ears strained to catch the slightest
sound
Il am usually tired when the last man
is out but no small boy on the bleachers
feels better paid for coming than l do

many parts Of American history where
Germany is concerned.
Interesting material was found regard

mutual obligation to give such aid to
each other.
Much material was found dealing with
Won Steuben, the Prussian soldier of
fortune, who was commandeered by
Washington to teach tactics. One incident
in his career, Prof Learned thinks. will
make Americans laugh, but he does
not divulge it,
