MAKE GREAT APPLE
ORCHARD
ENTIAT THE SCENE OF OPERA
TIONS OF BIG SPOKANE CON-
SPITZENBERGS.

The largest commercial apple Or
chard in the world, devoted exclusive
ly to the Spitzenbergs and Winesaps,
Is being developed by Spokane men
and the company yesterday filed in
corporation papers with capital of
$4,000 fully paid in. The incor-
porators are H. J. Shinn and DR.. N.
F. Essig of Spokane and Joseph
Platter of Entiat.
In speaking of the enterprise Mr..
Shinh, who is one of the largest buy
ers and shippers of fruit in the In
land Empire, said: eve have already
set out 100 acres in Spitzenbergs and
Winesaps and will fill the rest of the
tract with these varieties as soon as
possible. When completed this will
be the largest commercial orchard
in the world devoted exclusively to
these two varieties of apples.''
After having been for IS years
in the business of shipping and buy
ing apples from all the different sec
tions, we have selected this tract be-
cause of the fact that apples raised
in that section color better and keep
longer than those from any other.
THE moth and other insects that
work at night in the orchards of the
warmer sections are unknown in this
valley on account of the cold nights
That condition also is responsible for
the good keeping qualities of the
fruit"
The land owned by the company
is a 400-acre tract on the Entiat
river. The company owns its own
irrigating plant, the main canal now
receiving water from the Entiat river
and 81 laterals and bitches for the
entire tract are in running order.
The company will build it's own
packing plant and it's charter permits
1t to buy of others and also to buy
and sell water rights 1t is the in
tention of the owners to do a gen.
eral buying and shipping business
from that point and the Shinn COM
pany in Spokane will probably act as
general distributors of the product
of the company.

PEARY STARTS
N To KNOCK
DR.. COOK
SAYS COOK DID NOT FIND THE
POLE NOR DID HE ADVANCE
FAR TO THE NORTHLAND, AC-
CORDING TO ESKIMOS.

Peary's dispatch to the Associated
Press gives his first expression con-
cerning the claim of Cook that he
reached the pole almost a year prior
to Peary. 1t gives concrete form to
issues already vaguely outlined in
scientific quarters on the authenticity
of Cooks announcement and the
question of priority in reaching the
pole. 1t contains the direct intimf-
dation that Cook never reached the
pole at all. The attention of Europe
and America continues to be centered
on the announcements of the two
north pole explorers. Cooks lecture
at Copenhagen last night, when he
had ample opportunity to substanti-
ate the claims, was received there
without indications that it was ac-
cepted as conclusive and this view is
again reflected today in the increas-
ing skepticism reported from the for
eign capital.

Is Cousin of Judge Pollard.

J. G. Pollard, of this city, whose
son is employed in the Little-Wetsel
shop and whose daughter married j.
r. Compton, was very much interested
in a little story published in the
Daily World of Monday, regarding
Judge w. jeff Pollard, of st. Louis.
Judge Pollard was a very prominent
figure in the recent anti-Catholic con-
gress held in Stockholm. He became
famous several years ago by intro
ducing the pledge ssytem In reform
ing drunkards. More than 600 men
and women have signed the pledge
framed by Judge Pollard, and large
percentage of these have actually
been reformed. His plan is to give
the prisoner the alternative of signing
the pledge or going to the workhouse,
and It worked so we'll that 1t attract
ed attention all over the world. Judge
Pollard was hailed at the Stockholm
congress as one OF the most practical
temperance workers of the time.
Mr.. Pollard of this city and Judge
Pollard grew up together as boys. s

FORMED PARTNER
SHIP HERE
l.. A. RUPEE, OF VALLEJO, CAL,
HAS BECOME ASSOCIATED IN
WITH E. F.. SPRAGUE.

l.. A. Ruppe, of Vallejo, California
accompanied by his wife and child
arrived here last night. Mr. Ruppe
some time ago consummated a deal
whereby he becomes interested in the
undertaking business with E. F.
Sprague, under the firm name of
Sprague & Ruppe. Mr.. Ruppe is a
practical embalmer and undertaken
and has had many years experience
in the larger cities of California. His
wife is also an embalmer and will
assist him in the work in this city.
Mr.. and Mrs. Ruppe expect to go to
housekeeping either in the Sprague
cottage south of the undertaking par
lors or will secure rooms up stairs
in the Sprague building.
Mr.. Ruppe is a pleasant man to
meet and doubtless will become a
valuable adjunct to the business COM
munity.

Had Mishap i'm Seattle.

Frank Palmer, of Cashmere sus-
tanned a very painful and quite seri-
Gus though mysterious injury this
week while taking in Pay Streak at
the A.-Y.-P. Mr.. Palmer was watch
ing the Eskimos snap coins with
their 25-foot whips, which they do
so dexteriously. AS the whip struck
the coin, something struck Mr.. Pal
mer in the cheek. What it was has
not yet been determined but it came
with such force that the small piece
of matter was thrust through his
cheek against his teeth. The wound
bled freely but he thought nothing
more of it until on arriving home
the next morning. The cheek, on ac
count of poison, had swollen to large
proportions. A quick action by the
doctor prevented blood poisoning and
he will probably be all right soon.

STOCK LAKES WITH
BLACK BASS
GAME WARDEN REF OF KING
COUNTY WILL BE HERE To-
MORROW WITH II CANS OF
NATCHEE.

County Game Warden Percy Sche-
Bile received word this morning that
Game Warden Rief of King county
would arrive at Chiwaukum tomOr-
row evening with II cans Of big
mouth black bass. Mr.. Scheble will
meet Mr.. Rief at Chiwaukum and the
fish will be conveyed to Lake Wenat-
chez where they will be let loose. The
bass will be protected for a period
of three years and after that time it
is expected that they will furnish
great sport for the county nimrods.
Mr.. Scheble had planned to stock
a number of the lakes in the Lake
Wenatchee country with trout but SO
far has been unable to secure any
trout for planting this season. 1t IS
the purpose of Mr.. Scheble to organ
ize a county game association the by
laws of which have already been pre-
pared ani the organization will be
perfected some time this fall.
Through a strong organization, Mr..
Scheble deems that it will be possi-
BILE to secure the stock necessary for
the streams and lakes of this country.
AS a private individual or as a game
warden it is difficult to make the
politicians who control these per-
quisites to grant any request for
stock fish or game.

A local company consisting of l..
V. Wells, R. F. Holm, ]. E. Graves
and A E. Nichols have recently pur-
chased $50 acres adjacent to the
town of Ephrata, the county seat of
Grant county. Four hundred acres

was purchased from Senator E. c..
Davis for $4,000. This land lies
along Crab creek and a portion of
it is in young orchard 1t adjoins the
we'll known Jessie Cyrus orchard
which has quite asreputation in that
section of the country. One hundred
acres of this tract is to be plated
into town lots and will become a
town site addition. The promoters
of this company plan to put the bal
ance of this tract into orchard. Wells
with lots of water can be secured at
small depths and the plan is to irri-
gate by system of wells. After the
purchasing of this land was made, 20
acres were resold to Mr.. Reari for
$4,000. Ephrata has promise Of
becoming quite a little center and

in that section has been a wise one
