ers in this valley to handle the crops.
These men come every year and receive
very large wages for couple f mouths
and depart with an average of q hundred
dollars each for other places. The drain
on the county for ready cash is some.
thing enormous.
In many departments of farnaiag, ma
chlnery has taken the place OF human
labor. But there is opportunity for
more.
So far since the invention of the bin
der Of thirty years ago the improve
ments have been in other directions and
now nothing less than fully equipped
railway locomotive and train does for
threshing. In our opinion this employ
ment of expensive machinery with It's
accompaniment Of horses and men is
overdone and has gone too far. The ma
chimes are too big for the job and time.
As proof we may just make the state
ment which everybody knows to be true,
that the price Of threshing fs more than
the farmer can afford to pay. while on
the other hand the average thresher
man goes bankrupt il he continues in
the business. &
The threshing season lasts about for
ty days and could be made longer; the
harvest time is mostly condensed into
two or three weeks as whole while to
the individual farmer it is q matter Of .
few days in which his crops must be ont
or there will be loss by Smelling. {
Hence what we need Of machinery
I experts is that they give US q machine
Of far greater capacity for cutting and
binding grain. That Is, we need some
thing bigger and better than horsepow-

It should be an easy proposition. The

SEAT SALE OPENING

The building committee of the
Commercial club wish to announce
to the public of Wenatchee that to-
day the seat sale for the coming at
traction at the Wenatchee theatre
has opened at the Wenatchee Drug
Company's store and that no time
sould be lost in securing seats as the
outlook is such that everybody ana
their friends will be there, for, apart
from the fact that this is a benefit
performance it is given for the
purpose of assisting the fund of the
new Commercial club, which is bene-
fitting no one in particular but every
one in general in Wenatchee. The
performance is such in itself that it is
going to make the audience surprised
at the clever amateurs there are in
our city, and it is easy to predict that
many of the travelling companies that
pass through will not outshine the
cast selected for the "Heir Appar-
ent." The thorough training they
have been receiving from Mr.. Thos.
Clarke for the last three weeks is
most satisfactory.

LEEOY GETS FINE
APPOINTMENT
is NOW GENERAL IMMIGRATION
AGENT OF THE HILL LINE
TAKES PLACE OF MAX BASS
NOW DECEASED.

The Daily World is in receipt of a
notice sent out from st. Paul from
the Offices of the Great Northern
railroad, of the appointment of E. c..
Leedy as general immigration agent
of the Hill line, with headquarters in
st. Paul and Chicago. The vacancy
was caused by the death of Max Bass.
s. ]. Ellison, assistant general pas
senger agent, has been appointed
general passenger agent, with head
quarters in st. Paul. Both appoint
ments were effective November 1.
The appointment of Mr.. Leedy will
be especially gratifying to the peo-
pie of Wenatchee as Mr.. Leedy is a
property owner of this locality and
is we'll known here. He is brother
of c. A. Leedy, of Sunnyslope, the
latter having charge of the Leedy
Bros. ranch at that place.

Officers of the Washington Life &
Casualty company. of Olympia. are
in Wenatchee today and will decide
within the next few days as to whe-
ther or not this company shall re-
move its headquarters to this city.
E. F. Masterson, counsel and general
manager of the company, has been
in Wenatchee for the past two weeks
and Paul l.. Olmstead, secretary of
the organization, arrived this morn
ing The matter will be taken up
with the commercial club at it's regu-
lar meeting tonight and with proper
encouragement the company may be
induced to locate here. The location
of the headquarters of the company
in any locality brings many hundreds
of thousands of dollars for invest
ment as loans on property and for
this reason it is probable that if the
company has the standing worthy of
the endorsement Of the commercial
club that it will be an important ad-
dition to the city.
The location of the company here
would also bring with it payroll of
considerable size. A number of We
natchee people are already stock
holders in the company.

TWO ADDRESSES
TONIGHT
MAYOR GELIlATLY WILL DE-
FEND POLICY OF ADMTNISTRA-
TION AND ANSWER CRITICS AT
OPEN MEETINGS.

John A. Gellatly, mayor of the city
and candidate for denomination at
the primaries tomorrow, will hold two
public meetings this evening. He as
serts that until the past few days he
has had no intention of conducting
an active campaign 1t became ne
cessary however on account Of the
Misrepresentation being scattered
broadcast by Mr.. Grass and his sup
porters. relative to the conduct of the
city's business and his (Mr. Gellat-
ly's) personal affairs. He states that
he would not even now If it were not
for the fact that there are many new
people in the city with whom he is
not acquainted and who are at least
entitled to hear the other side of the
question.
Mr.. Gellatly states further that his
opponent, Mr.. Grass, and his friends
have personally visited every nook
and corner of the city during the past
two weeks soliciting the votes of the
people and using every means to bias
the voters against the present admin
istration. No story is too bad to di-
rect against the present administra-
tion and no pledge too strong (or lib
eraD to make for the opposition
should it be successful.
The opposition have fully defined
plan and are making a desperate ef-
fort to array the laboring people OF
the city against the present council
and especially the mayor.
To the property owners who are
effected by the street improvements
a woeful sympathy is being extended
Just at this time. A like sympathy
is being extended and in fact urged
upon the laboring men of the city. TIC
those who may not be able to attend
any of the meetings this evening Mr.
Gellatly wishes to ask in fairness,
that they take the time to investigate
gate the past record of Mr.. Grass in
the city, both as to his personal deal.

investigate his demeanor toward
property owners and the welfare o.
the city in general. He wants them
to learn for themselves. whether ol
not he deserves special mention ol
credit along these lines.
A twenty-minute meeting will be
held at the corner of Peachey an6
Methow streets at o'clock thi.
evening and another at the corner Of
Poplar and D streets at 7:45, a
which time Mr.. Gellatly will discus:

DEVELOP ANOTHER
BIG ORCHARD
MESSRS. BENSON AND LASH PUR-
CHASE G. F.. GRANT PLACE AT
CASHMERE - WILL PLANT
MANY TREES IN THE SPRING.

Another fine large place is to be
planted to trees and cut into orchard
tracts. This time it is the George
F. Grant place near Cashmere, which
has been purchased by Messrs. Ben
son and Lash. 1t is said that these
men will at once set about preparing
the implanted land to trees and an
other ditch will cover the present
unirrigated portions.
The Grant place is one of the old
est in the Wenatchee valley, being
located by the owner as a homestead
Is years ago. 1t includes a bearing
orchard of 16 acres, and other fruit
and timber land in all $50 acres. 1t
is located in the very heart of the
fruit belt and it's possibilities as a
large orchard may be judged from
the other places now bearing fruit
in the same locality. 1t is near this
place that Brandt this year picked
$1,000 worth of fruit from 16 trees.
1t adjoins the Lash & McNeal or
chard home, which in a short time is
destined to become one of the most
attractive places in the Wenatchee
valley. On this place 35 acres OF
trees are being set out, bungalows
are being built, and much attention
is being paid to the landscape fea-
lures of the place, even a trout pond
is being constructed. c. D. McNeal
is business man of GAINESVILLE, O.,
and no expense is being spared in
making it an attractive one.
Ell Roy Benson and H. G. Lewis
have been identified with the develop
ment of some of the larger tracts in
this section of the Wenatchee valley
They have also been engaged in sew.
eral development enterprises in the

RE-TR|A[ Of BAD
MEAT CASE
SUIT OF PATTERSON VS.. WENAT-
CHEZ CANNING COMPANY RE-
MANDED FROM THE SUPREME
COURT AND AGAIN o NTRIAL.

The famous bad meat case of
Harry Patterson versus the Wenat-
chez Canning company is in the su-
perlor court for re-trial, having been
remanded on appeal from the su-
preme court. Two years ago Pat
terson had 80 beeves in cold storage
at the plant of the Wenatchee Can
ming company. The meat began to
spoil and the whole lot was sold by
Patterson to Joe Oppell for one
cent per pound. Patterson sued the
Wenatchee Canning company for
damages. He received judgment of
$1,000. The Canning company ap-
pealed to the supreme court and the
case was reversed and remanded for
trial. The attorneys in the case for
Patterson are Reeves & Reeves, and
for the Wenatchee Canning company
are Ludington & Kemp and Thomas
& Sorenson.

Editor of the Daily World.
wish to notify the voters of Wen
atchee, through the columns of your
paper that I have never at any time
during my administration as mayor
of the city, stated to anyone that
$3.50 a day was a sufficient wage for
any laboring man, nor that 81 was
enough. I wish to say that the party
or parties who are persistently cir
culating this report are telling some
thing that is absolutely false, and
that / will make present of 500
to any party who will disprove my
assertion. l wish to say further that
1 have had in my employ during all
the past summer from six to IL peo-
pie and that there has never been
the slightest discussion or difference
bteween any of these people and my
self, on the wage subject.
have paid each Of my farm hands
$40 per month and board, costing
me in all $64.15 per month, which
amount figures practically $3.50 per
day. I am only referring to my per-
sonal affairs at this time for the pur-
pose of showing the report to be
false.
The above report is a fair sample
of scores of others being put in cir
culation, and I defy any man or set
of men to meet me face to face with
any of their charges, against the acts
of the administration as body, or
against myself as mayor. I am not
claiming that every man connected
with the city is faultless and above
human error, but l am here to de-
fend the administration as a whole

OUTLINES CIVIC
POLICY
II. l.. BARTLETT ADDRESSES AN
OPEN LETTER TO VOTERS OF
THE SECOND Wards DRY"
AND FOR PUBLIC IMPROVE
MENTS.

To the Voters of the Second Ward:
In order that l may place myself
before you in the right light, deem
it advisable to publish these few
lines.
Having lived in your city nearly
four years, I ask you to look at my
business and my home 1 just recent
ly sold and which l have built up
among you, and | will leave it to you
to Judge whether or not l will work
for the interests of the people who
elect me-
That there may be no misunder-
standing as to my attitude on the
several important questions before
us at this time I will say I am a
dry man, l voted for local option
and am satisfied with the result.
1 am in favor of continuing the
present policy of improvements and
extending them as fast as finances
will permit.
You can see by this that If I am
elected 1 will work in harmony with
the present members of the council,
right" 1t seesm to be the will of
and thereby tying up the work of
public improvements, which would
both be expensive and detrimental to
Wenatchee's best interests at this
time.
Respectfully yours,
