BUILDING ACTIVITY

FIFTEEN BUSINESS HOUSES AND

During the past few weeks Doug
las has enjoyed an unprecedented
period of building activity. 1t may
be said that this is not entirely un-
expected. but there have been few
who have looked for it to come so
suddenly.
This rapid development has caus-
ed all members of the community to
wonder where it will stop. There
are those who have lived in this To-
cality for years who cannot believe
that it will be anything more than a
small place. Those who are more
conversant with affairs generally are
of the opinion that Douglas will soon
reach population OF 400 to 500 and
still more optimistic ones place the
figures all the way from 100 to
5000.

EASY FOR CHECK
ARTISTS
WENATCHEE BUSINESS MEN ASK
POLICE TO HELP FIND III. l..
PALMER WHO HAD BUNKOED
THEM.

Wenatchee is considered very easy
for bad check artists. The city has
been working on numerous occasions
during the past year. H. L. Palmer
is the latest to invade this territory
and it is said that his ability to draw
bad checks has rewarded him con-
siderably. Palmer, with his family,
came here about two months ago
The man was engaged as a sign writ
er. He painted the Gem theatre drop
curtain and has done numerous other
jobs about the city He had the habit,
however. of drawing checks on banks
in which he had no funds deposited
His habit was to go into a store and
buy a bill of goods, giving check
for a larger amount in payment for
the goods. He bought a suit of
store, rendering in payment a $40
check. The check was found to be
no good and the manager of the store
went after the suit and recovered it,
r. L. Bartlett is said to have had a
like experience Messrs. Whitson &
Co., \. NJ. Streeter and the Eagle
Livery, however, own checks drawn
by this man and expect to charge the
smounts to profit and loss. They are
of small denominations and were
drawn on the First National bank.
Palmer's family left the city this
week and the man himself has not
been seen for several days. He is
described as a short, heavy set man
and about 40 years of age, and has
peculiarly marked nose.

GAVE OPTION ON
T0GGERY
f. NJ. TUPPER HAS ACCEPTED
$1,000 AS FIRST PAYMENT ON
HIS BUSINESS-SELIS TO CHI
CAGO MAN.

re. NJ. Tupper, owner of the Tog-
gerry, the popular Wenatchee avenue
haberdashery, has given an option
on his business until December 10
to E. J. Joyce, of Chicago. Mr.. Joyce
spent some weeks here last summer
and was so we'll pleased with We
natchee and its possibilities that he
entered into negotiations at that time
with the Toggery owner. Mr.. Joyce
has in view the purchase of the Tog-
gerry for son. He has put up $1,000
to bind the bargain and under the
terms of the sale he is to put up
another $4,000 December 10 and
final payments to be made between
January ! and Is, when possession
will be given.
One of the terms of the contract
of sale is that the Toggery stock shall
be reduced $1,000 or $4,000 and in
order to do this Mr.. Tupper will i'm
mediately commence a special sale
and reduce his stock to the required
amount. The date and the terms of
the sale will be announced later.

WORK
Of N M'DERM0TT
FURNITURE PURCHASED FOR
YAKIMA WHICH COMMENCES
OPEN RIVER WORK TODAY.

The people of Wenatchee appre-
ciate the efforts that Capt. Fred Nc
Dermott has made towards the open
ing of the Columbia river for naviga-
tion. He has spent his own time and
his money for the past Is years in
working up a sentiment in favor of
legislation to this end. During the
last session of the legislature he
spent weeks in Olympia organizing
the forces to the end that an appro-
priation of $4,000 was made for
cleaning out the river between We
natchee and Kettle Falls. Forum
ately Captain McDermott was ap-
pointed as one of the open river COM
mission
The steamer Yakima has been pur-
chased, remodeled and equipped for
the work on the upper river. 1t is
expected to leave today on its new
mission.
That the people of this city are
not unappreciative of Captain Nc
Dermott's work is evidenced by the
resolution passed at the commercial
club meeting Monday night that some
token be presented to the steamer
Yakima and also to Captain McDer-
mott. A committee was appointed to
solicit funds. This was composed of
John F. Webber, Walter M. Olive
and w. S. Trimble The committee
spent a little time last night among
the business men and $50 was quick
ly raised for the purpose of purchas-
ing the gift. Chairs and furniture
were purchased and these, with a
short ceremony, we're formally pre-
sented to the boat and to Captain
McDermott today noon.
1t is safe to say that no public i'm
provement that could be made which
means more to the city of Wenatchee
than the opening to navigation of the
Columbia river. Were the rocks and
dangerous places cleaned out of the
river from Kettle Falls to the Pacific,
allowing the big boats to navigate
the Columbia river, it is safe to say
that this factor alone would make
of Wenatchee a big city. The open
ing Of the river from Wenatchee
north is one big step in the greater
movement which has been inaugu-
rated and no one factor has been
more instrumental in securing state
and national help in this work than
Capt. Fred McDermott.
The people generally in this To-
caIity appreciate 1t and the commit
tee found very ready response to
it's appeal among the business men.
The tokens are intended as an evil
dence to the different localities along
the river where the boat will be en-
ployed to show that Wenatchee citi-
zens and Wenatchee money are al
ways ready to lend assistance to any,
thing that will be of special benefit
to North Central Washington

HILLS FAST TRAIN
MAKES GOOD
LONG DISTANCE FLY.
Err IN WORLD MAINTAINS
SCHEDULE BETWEEN ST. PAUL
AND SEATTLE.

st. Paul, Mimi, Nov. 11.-For 35
days the fastest long distance train
in the world, from St. Paul to Seat
tie in As hours, has made good. Jas.
]. Hills new departure is a success,
and the Great Northern railway re-
ports that the new mail flyer has not
only maintained its exceptionally
fast schedule, but has shown an &C
tual performance averaging a half
hour less than the schedule since it
was placed in operation.
The distance is 1928 miles, and to
maintain the schedule the train must
make for the entire distance an aver
age speed of fraction less than 40
miles an hour without allowing for
loss of time for coal and water stops.
This means that over long stretches
of track it must make so miles an
hour to compensate for less speed
on mountain grades, and for loss of
time through unavoidable stops at
tanks and coaling stations. Without
the most careful and precise handling
the train could not maintain its time.
which is fixed and unaltered.
1t is a five-car train for mail only.
Over the prairies of western Mime
sofa it already has won the name of
the fastest thing on wheels, and North
Dakotans say that in their state it
runs like scared cat. Before COM
pleting its journey, it must mount
the long climb to the summit of the
Rockies at Bolton, Mont, and after
dropping down into the valleys it
must make a second climb to the
great tunnel which pierces the Cas-
cades before gaining the slope to
tidewater.
The schedule maintained by the
new train is three hours shorter than
that of the Hartman lines between
Omaha and San Francisco, although
the distance is about the same.
The government will weigh the
mails in this district for three months
beginning in February, to determine
the compensation for the new service,
and the figure thus determined on
will govern during the coming four
years. 1t was to get this contract
with the postal department that the
new Great Northern service was es-
tablished.
The establishment of the new SER
vice makes st. Paul the gateway to
all the western states, to Alaska and
the ports of the Orient for all mail
originating in eastern territory north
of the Ohio river and east of the
Mississippi. The new mail train
leaves st. Paul in the early morning
after the arrival of incoming mail
trains from Chicago, which make
heavy deliveries at this point of mat
ter for the far west and the Orient.

YAKIMA APPLES By
CARLOAD
ALL ENTERED FOR THE SWWEP-
STAKES PRIZE AT NATIONAL
APPLE SHOW-ROME BEAU
TIES in ONE LOT.

North Yakima, Nov. 11.-Prepara-
tions are being made here for three
carloads of apples, all entered for the
sweepstakes prize at the Spokane ap-
pie show.
The first car, Rome Beauties,
grown by Jack Bourgrave, whose
place is three miles east of Zillah,
was shipped today. The apples are
well nigh perfect specimens.
Tomorrow there will be sent out a
mixed car belonging to ]. M. Nc
Curdy of Parker Bottom. 1t includes
boxes of Stayman Winesaps and
Black Twigs and will make a very
handsome display.
Thursday there is expected to be
started out a solid carload of H. M.
Gilbert's famous Winesaps, the same
sort of display that took second prize
last year.
Apple men here are incline dto be-
lieve that a car now being packed
in Spokane has better chance than
the others of winning the prize for
Yakima. These apples were shipped
some time ago and placed in cold
storage in Spokane, and are Grimes
Goldens from the orchard of w. w.
Sawyer of Sunnyside. The apples are
not only perfect, but the variety wins
high marks under the scoring rules
adopted for the apple show this year.
