major Kerr, chief State engi-
nser, in a written statement, says ::
Il do not hesitate to say that as
far as the board of State engineers
of Louisiana 10 concerned it is of
official record in most of it's bien-
NAL reports for number of years
past that it has always indorsed,
and still indorses, tho project for
the enforcement of tho Red and
Atchafalaya Rivers from the Mis-
sissippi River Whenever, in tho
opinion of the United States aud
State engineers charged with the
consideration and direction of af-
fairs, the time is accepted as fa-
vorable and opportune for its con-
sideration. 1t may be further as
serted that, in the opinion of the
Board of State engineers, the ben
efits to be derived from the final
accomplishment of the project, to
all interested concerned, cannot

The Mississippi River Com
mission. in it's report in 1895, says:
1--WE are, therefore, of the OPT
MON that the separation of the
Mississippi River from the Red
at their present junction, through
Old River, would establish a con.
dilion more favorable than now Ok.
lists for the navigation of both
streams, and for the protection
from overflow of the region alouX
their banks, aud would accomplish
these objects more surely than any
other plan"
In a report the same year Colo
uel Charles b. Suites, corps of en-
ginesrs, United States Army, and
member of tho Mississippi River
Commission, says: II think, there
fore, that the closing of Old River
should be recognized as both de-
sirable and necessary; that the
Plaquemine Canal should be push.
ed to carly completion; that the
levaes below tie Red River land
ing should DO put in perfect order
and brought up to grade, aud that
meanwhile the closure of the gap
from Bougere down should pro-
coed gradually 80 as to throw a
constantly increasing increment
past Red River Landing and 80
enlarge the channel at that point.
when all these operations have
been completed then the closure
of Old River should be made.
"Mtanwhile, and until the Pla-
quemine Canal is available, Old
River should. if possible, be kept
open by dredging. as at present,
and ultimately the dam in Red
River and the stills in the A,chafa.
laya should be removed"
While Congressman Broussard |
was absent from Washington his
secretary gave the information that
Nj. Brousssrd had introduced a
bill at this session of Congress
asking authority from Congress to
proceed with the work ms early as
possible.

MINING At BlEWEH

Frank Brady, formerly a well
known restaurant man of this city
but for the past two or three years
of Leavenworth, is in the city today.
Mr.. Brady has cut out the restaurant
business and has devoted the past
year to his orchard interests adjacent
to Leavenworth and has also spent
several months developing his min
ing properties near Blewett. Mr..
Brady reports considerable activity in
the Blewett camp ana states that a
Pittsburg hydraulic company Is TAX
ing out $500 worth of gold per day.
The j. s. Mccarthy stamp mill Is also
running with three stamps and about
four pounds of amalgam, equivalent
to about $3.50, is being shipped out
each week. There has been a great
deal of development work done on a
number of the smaller properties dur
ing the summer and it is expected
that next spring there will be the
greatest mining activity in the his
tory of the camp.

APPLES
EASTERN APPLE HOUSES RE-
PORT EASTERN PRODUCT
VERY POOR AND PREDICT
FANCY PRICES.

A representative of the w. F.
Kurtz Commission company of New
York City was here some few weeks
ago looking over the apple prospects.
Mr.. Kurtz at that time stated that
he predicted very fancy prices for
Wenatchee Valley apples, stating
that the eastern crop was a very in
ferior quality and that the yield was
very much below the normal. The
Daily World was in receipt this
morning from Mr.. Kurtz Of the fol-
lowing telegram:
Just received advices of some
sales made of apples at So per box
+. o. b. Hood River. Eastern apples
are very poor. Fancy western box
fruit will bring big prices here this
season"

APPLE SMITH VS..
WHEAT SMITH
CONTEST ON BETWEEN l.. w.
SMITH WITH FOUR ACRES OF
APPLES AND GEO. SMITH WITH
500 ACRES OF WHEAT.

L. w. Smith Of the Suburban
Home ranch is having all kinds of
fun. He is having contest with his
brother, George Smith, of Badger
mountain, as to who will raise the
most from their respective farms.
You see, L. w. Smith has a six
acre tract adjoining Wenatchee on
which there is in bearing fruit about
four acres.
George Simth has many acres of
wheat at Southside. Two years ago
he had 200 acres and his brother,
with the four acres, came out ahead
in the amount harvested. Last year
the former had $50 acres in wheat
and his brother again came ont
ahead.
In an effort to come out ahead
once the latter this year put in 500
acres in wheat The result will be
watched and will be announced later.

Il. w. SMITH HAS ONE ACRE OF
WINESAPS THAT WILL EASILY

ALL EXPENSES.

l.. W. Smith has an acre Of Or
chard that will net him $4,000 IN
clean cash this year. The trees are
of the Winesap variety and are nine
years old. This one acre will pay
him 10 per cent interest on ten
acre orchard valued at $4,000 pei
acre, or at rates which the farmers
of the middle west are accustome
it would pay per cent interest on
ten-acre orchard valued at $4,000
per acre.
Mr.. Smith has "A Arkansas Blacks
which will average IL boxes to the
tree.
He also has 40 Mammoth Black
Twigs that will average 10 or II
boxes. His 100 Winesaps will aver.
age IL or Is boxes to the tree. He
has 40 Ben Davis trees that will aver.
age boxes per tree.
There is in the Smith orchard but
four acres of bearing trees, yet he

PEARL SMOCK
SKIPPED THE
COUNTRY
GIRL WHO WAS THE PROSECUT-
ING WITNESS IN THE CASE OF
STATE VS.. PRINCE ATKINSON
- STATE ASKS CONTINUANCE.
Where Is Pearl Smock?

Where is Pearl Smock?
This is the question the prosecut-
ing attorney, the sheriff and other Of
ficials connected with the case of the
state in the Prince Atkinson trial are
trying to solve.
Pearl Smock Is the complaining
witness in the case against Atkinson.
She was here some two weeks ago
and until the past week Prosecuting
Attorney Kemp had no idea that his
chief witness against Atkinson would
be missing.
The case of the State VS.. Atkinson,
charged with rape. was set for We'd
nesday, Thursday and Friday of this
week. This morning County Attor-
ney Kemp asked for a continuance
of the case until some later date
when it might be possible to have
the complaining witness present. In
asking this continuance the county
attorney filed some rather sensational
affidavits. He directly accuses the
defense with spiriting the girl away.
The affidavits allege that the girl,
Pearl Smock, has been staying with
the family OF her stepfather, e. E.
Bradley. Recently she went with the
family Of H. j. Kimmel into Kittitas
county, where Kimmel has a contract
with the Milwaukee railway. She
promised when she left that she
would be back here either last Satur-
day or Sunday but though the sheriff
has used diligence in trying to locate
the girl she has not been found. At
torney Kemp also connected the name
of c. E. Stauffer, Atkinson's bsuiness
partner, with undue diligence in try
ing to get the girl out of the country.
The courthouse was we'll filled this
afternoon with spectators interested
in the case. Should Judge Grimshaw
refuse the continuance asked for by
the county attorney it Is equivalent
to throwing the case out of court, as
the county attorney would not seek
to proceed without Pearl Smock. At
the time of the World going to press
the attorneys for the defense. Messrs.
Parr and Thomas, are arguing
against the continuance and 1t is
likely that no decision will be reached
in the matter until evening.
Later-The motion for a continu-
ance was denied and on the motion
of the defense the defendant, Atkin-
son, was discharged. This seeming
y ends the Prince Atkinson litigation
which has lasted over the past year.
