HelA Meeting sna Talk Over Prspe- settsn te Create Msst Bsilliant- ly Llwhted Avenue in
 City.

At . meeting of fifteen of the larger property owners of Lee Street held in the Bell building Monday night 1t was decided to effect . permanent organt- sation Of all the property owners of the street for the purpose of general Improvement A committee composed of Henry vandiver. Henry Abraham and W. A. Gayle. was appointed to arr range for the organization.
 It was the decision of the meeting to improve the street in every way necessary to make It one of the city's cleanest and best illuminated thor oughfares. In fact. the meeting grew enthusiastic over the lighting proposi- tion and voted to make Lee Street the best illuminated street in all the South.
 The system generally suggested for Illuminating the street Is . succession of boulevard lights. and 1t is purposed to erect ornamental lamp posts along church Street at, perhaps. intervals of 100 yards
 Upon the destruction Of the old L. c N. freight depot and the consequent opening of Lee Street about May l. .a large portion of the traffc that has gone hitherto along Commerce Street will be shifted to the new channel. It is with this condition in view that the Lee Street property owners are pre- pairing for thoroughfare better fitted for trafic and more presentable to the stranger approaching the heart of the city from the passenger station by way of Lee Street.
 The proposed lighting system on Lee Street plans clusters of ornamental electric lamps to be erected near the union station. at the intersection of Montgomery. Bibb and Tallapoosa Streets and at Church Street where Lee Street ends. It is predicted by

One Fare For Round Trip To Seattle from
Montana and intermediate Points
On Special Days

One fare will be charged for the
round trip to Seattle from Montana and
intermediate points on special fair days
of interest to residents Of Washington,
Idaho and Montana, according to an
announcement made by the Great
Northern Railway company today.
The officials Of the Alaska-Yukon Pa
cifc exposition have set apart a num-
Der of special days for cities, counties
and states in the northwest, and it is
upon these occasions that the one
fare rate for the round trip will be in
effect.
One and one third fares will be the
rate charged from Montana and inter-
mediate points upon other than special
days during the Alaska-Yukon-Pacifc
exposition this summer by the Great
Northern. This information comes
from A. L. Craig, general passenger
agent of the road. The Great Nor
thern anticipates exceptionally heavy
travel during the summer and is max
ing preparations to handle the crowds.
Tickets to Seattle from Montana and
western points at the special fair rate
will be on sale from May % to October
IA, with a 90 day limit.
The Great Northern announced that
commencing Sunday and observation
buffet car would be attached to the
Seattle-Spokane local train. Heavy
patronage OF the new train necessitated
the addition Of the observation car.

SOUTH SIDE ROAD GRANTED
Commissioners Court Grants Petition for
Road on South Side of the
WenatChee River

The interest in the south side road
to Peshastin drew quite a number Of
people to Wenatchee Monday, when
the matter was presented TO the com
missioners' court. Among the Peshas-
tin people who took enough interest in
the matter to attend the meeting were
S. P. Beecher, Guy Stage and VIM.
Payne. Leavenworth was represented
by H. E. CarT, G. NJ. Thomas and Deed
H. Magyar. The court granted the pc
tition and ordered the county engineer
to make survey Of the proposed road.
The depleted condition of the road
fund may make it impossible to com
plete the road this year, but work will
be begun on it and the road completed
as soon as possible.
The court also agreed to change the
Peshastin road where it crosses the
creek at the old Adam Emig place
near town. A high wooden bridge will
be built across the Chumstick Just
above the railroad bridge and the road
made along the hillside, keeping on
high ground to avoid the hill near the
graveyard. This is a much needed
improvement. The hill near the grave
yard has always been steep and difficult
to keep in passable condition. The
timber and iron in the old wooden
bridge which is being replaced by the
new steel bridge at Peshastin will be
used to build the bridge near the
mouth of Chumstick.
The building Of the south side road
will be Of incalculable benefit to the
people Of Peshastin, who can come to
Leavenworth over this route in less
than half the distance they now have to
travel. The changing Of the Chum-
stick crossing on the north side Pc
shastin road will also be great benefit
to the people on the north side Of the
river as well as those on the south side,
who will have to use this road to come
to Leavenworth until the south side
road is completed.

ACTIVITY AT PESHASTIN
Everybody improving and Land Selling
Every Week at Advanced Prices

Rev. Henry Robinson, formerly pas
tor of the Methodist church at CASH
mere, but now located at Newport,
Wash, was here last week looking at
his ranch, the old Dave Gould place.
H. W. Otis has moved part of his
household goods from Wenatchee to
the ranch and will likely again resume
ranch life.
E. K. Harvey is preparing to build a
new house. He is now excavating the
cellar.
H. H. Meeker is doing considerable
painting around Peshastin. He has
begun painting the Resin Otis house
and has the contract to paint S. P.
Beecher's new home.
M. P. Spencer, ex-county surveyor,
was here looking after his ranch. He
will set out ten acres to fruit trees this
spring.
The new steel bridge will soon be
completed. The steel is partly in po-
sition. 1t is said to be one of the best
on the Wenatchee river.
M. F. Gilbert, OF the Peshastin Or
chard Lands Co., has made a number
of land sales the past week. The price
OF land in this vicinity is advancing
very rapidly and will soon be as high
as it is in the lower part of the valley.
Land that sold two years ago for from
$25 to $50 per acre now sell readily
for from $400 to $500. 1t is the old
story, more buyers than there is land.
J. w. Burns sold ten acres, one-hal
in bearing orchard, to recent arrival
for $4,000 in cash. Burns bought this
land two years ago, partly improved,
for $4,000 from S. P. Beecher.
J. E. Walburn, from Everett, bought
five acres from the Peshastin Orchard
Land Co., paying $500 for it. He
will at once improve his land and plant
trees.

Percy Scheble and Jay Buttles came
up from Wenatchee the first of this

Icicle and Snow creeks. While these
streams are commonly referred to as
creeks they are in reality rivers. The
Icicle is nearly half as large as the
Wenatchee river itself. Snow creek,
on account Of its rapid fall, while not
so large, is very valuable for develop

Scheble and Buttles intend to develop
power or are holding the right for pur-

Washington Apples Drive Eastern Fruit Out
of Market

Wherever Washington apples com
pete with eastern apples the latter are
driven out Of the market, says F. N.
Walker, Of Spokane who has just re-
turned from an extended trip through
Illinois, Indiana, Iowa and Minnesota.
To illustrate the above statement
Mr.. Walker told of an experience in
Washington, Indiana. He had taken
back with him several boxes OF prize
winning apples at the National Apple
show, and these were placed on display
in one of the store windows. Beside
them were apples grown in New York,
which were so badly outclassed that
the merchant was ashamed to offer
them for sale, and finally ordered
shipment Of Washington-grown apples
from a Chicago commission house.
These came while Mr.. Walker was
still in the town and he was thus able
to prove that Washington apples are as
good as they look to be. The fruit
from Chicago, all four-tier apples,
grown in the Wenatchee Valley caused
much comment, increasing the already
intense interest which people of the
middle west and east have in the
northwest.
