OIL INDICATIONS
 NEAR AGUA CAL|ENTE
Travellers to Phoenix Bring In Sam
 ples of Oil Bearing Formations.

That Arizona will become an oil producing country as well as stand ing among the leaders in the pro- duction of the precious metals is a belief which has long been entertain ed by many competent to judge. At number of places throughout the ter ritory there are oil indications which are of the best and although there have yet been no successful wells still there are those who still retain hope and who are willing to spend some money in an attempt to de- velop a supply of mineral oil. Yes terday there were brought to this city some samples of oil rock which would indicate that the section from which they come should have depos- it's of the valuable fluid. The sam pies were brought in by w. Bigelow and s. A. Appold, who secured them from some men who had been pros pecting west of Agua Caliente' and who secured the specimens about fifteen or twenty miles west of that place.
 The rock brought in was a shale with a paraffin base and was similar to, if not identical with, the rock which was found on the surface in the famous Plum Run district in Ohio. The Ohio district is one of the richest oil districts in the world and the similarity between the for nations in the two places is encour- aging to those who expect to de- velop oil resources in the territory. Just who is behind the prospect work being done is not yet known, but it is understood that further investiga- tions will be made and that the at tempt to open the field will be back ed by ample capital.

MIR. STONES GENERAL REMARKS.

Washington, May 2S.-1aving a few remarks to make on the tariff in gen eraI. Senator Stone today called halt upon the consideration of the sugar schedule to submit them. Concerning the probable passage of the bill, he said: The halo of victory is already shining on the brow of the big chief (Alr Aldrich) and on his comrades of the finance committed"
 He then added that the accomplish ment of the majority. was 'pitiable ending of a somewhat pusillanimous beginning" Referring to former Pres ident Roosevelt as performing mur- derous feats without parallel" he con- tinued: He is only a memory, hardly worth quotation, but Taft is still a liv- ing potentiality."
 Saying he had the wage scale re- lating to the razor industry in Ger many. which was twice as high as the American wage scale, according to an official statement furnished by the German government, and now in the state department, MT. Stone said: T assert that this report was in the hands of the finance committee long
  paid here and in Germany was raised. They knew about it; yet, when we asked about these wages, the senator from Utah CMr. SmooD said he had affidavits from workmen who had been brought from Germany, that German wages were only one-third the Amer ican scale'
 MT. .Aldrfch said that there had been a report from the German government, but it was in German, and had never been translated. He had, however, undertaken to have it translated, but before that was done, it had been sent for by the president or the state de- partment. But, he said, the commit tee had before it comparative state ment of wages of the two countries from an American source, and as the German statement was not compara- tive, he did not regard it as of much value.

TOOK UP NOTES
WITH CHECKS
COMMERCIAL CLUB COMMITTEE
MET SIGNAL SUCCESS THIS
MORNING IN THE COLLECTION
OF THE $1,000 IN PLEDGES.

The building committee of the We
natchee Commercial club. composed
of Messrs. Littlefield, Russell and
Thompson, started out this morning
On collection tour.
Their object was to collect the ST.
600 pledged some months ago tow
ards the building of the new club
home At noon today the committee
reported that $500 had been col
lected and that the business men as
a unit who had put themselves on the
pledges seemed willing and anxious
to exchange their notes for checks.
The committee also found a number
who had not already pledged them
selves to this work wno made do
nation this morning, and the pros
poets are that the full $1,000 will be
raised without any effort at all. The
committee states that had it been pos
sible to find all of those who had
pledged themselves to this work that
the full $1,000 would have been
raised this morning.
The contract for the new club
building calls for an expenditure OF
$15,8S1. The heating plant will take
$4,000 and the excavation $1,000, a
total expenditure of about $4,000.
Of this amount the city is to pay
about $2,500, that being a part of the
contract recently entered into be-
tween the two organizations.
Besides the $1,000 raised In this
city the committee has secured an
$4,000 loan and there is no fear en-
tertained now of having any financial
difficulties.

COST $500 II YEARS AGO.

|. A. LOvitt, erstWhile marine man
in Nova Scotia, has decided to drop
his maritime enterprises and will To-
cate permanently in the Vale of Cash
mere. He closed a deal Saturday by
which he came into possession of the
George Watson orchard of 20 acres.
The price paid was $4,000
Mr.. Lovitt came to the Wenatchee
valley several months ago, at which
time he purchased five acres south of
Cashmere. This has been in charge
of his nephew, Guy Burrell, and he
has been SO well satisfied with the
outlook that he closed up for the
fine big orchard belonging heretofore
to Mr.. Watson. There are IA acres
of bearing orchard and six acres of
hay land and building ground. The
place will net $4,000 this year Mr.
Watson bought the place from the
Northern Pacific Railroad company / 1

line of sailing vessels from Yarmouth,

SIXTEEN TREES
WILL NET
$1,000
GUSTAVE BRANDT HAS TREES
LOADED TO THE GROUND WITH
DIFFERENT VARIETIES-AVE
AGE FROM 20 TO 35 BOXES.

Gustave Brandt, of Cashmere, has
16 trees that this year will net him
after paying all expenses, the sum OF
$1,000. 1t is doubtful if another
grower in the whole valley can show
the returns from a few trees equal
to that produced in the Brandt Or
chard.
Mr.. Brandt has one tree of the Vel
low Newtown Pippin variety which
will produce &c boxes. These are
selling at $3.50 and $2.75 per box
and this tree will easily net him $50
to $50. He has four Spitzenbergs
which will average 80 boxes each. OF
all the orchards that have been visit
ed by the Daily World representative
this season there have been no Spitz-
enbergs that have made the showing
these four trees have. These trees
will net the owner from $50 to SIS
each.
He has four Arkansas Blacks which
will average 21 boxes to the tree
These are worth $225 per box and
will net the owner close to SAC
apiece He has six Winesaps which
will average 26 boxes each, for which
he has been offered s2.75 per box.
He has two Northern Spy trees
which will produce 20 boxes this year
for which he has been offered $50
per box.
Mr.. Brandt purchased his orchard
from L. w. Beasley and paid for ii
$4,000 one ana a half years ago.
He has 40 acres of land all set to
trees, including 500 trees one year
old, 1000 two years old, 500 three
years old, 200 four years old and the
balance of three acres in old trees
Since assuming ownership of the
place Mr.. Brandt has developed the
seepage water and believes he has
enough to irrigate 20 acres. He came
here from Oklahoma. He belongs to
that type of German farmer who has
developed many section in the
United States and whose industry has
added millions to the wealth of the
country.
