apples purchased in this valley by
Spokane parties for exhibit in New

the apples arrived in fine shape in

members feel very indignant over the
publicity given to the fact that the
apples were bought in this valley and

President Goodall, who recently pur-
chased the apples for the purpose OF
advertising the Arcadia enterprise,
is likely to lose his position as pres

NURSERY HOUSES ARE

claim that the eastern men are en-

hold that the easterners are merely
trying to effect q corner in order to

are particularly hard to get now, and
the opinion prevails that the popular

that the eastern people have been
compelled to try to buy it from the

STATE COMMISSION DOING GOOD
WORK IN OPENING COLUMBIA
RIVER TO NAVIGATION-NO
FOR BIG BOATS.

Considerable satisfaction is ex-
pressed by river men in this city of
the work being done by the state
commission in clearing the upper
river of obstacles to navigation. The
first and largest of the rocks at Fos-
ter creek rapids, four miles from
Bridgeport, was blown out Tuesday
night
The work of clearing out the rocks
which are a bar to navigation is be-
ing done under the supervision of the
state commission Work on the rocks
has been pushed for the past few
weeks under the supervision of Cap
tain Fred McDermott, executive COM
missioner
The big rock, according to the re-
port made by Captain McDermott,
was broken into small pieces and the
obstruction entirely removed. The
steamer Yakima, which has been pur-
chased by the commission for work
on the river, will at once proceed a
short distance up the river to blow
out the second rock. When this is
done the river at the rapids will be
open to navigation for the largest
boats which ply the river. The sec
ond rock to be blown is small and

will be finished within a few days

A CURE THAT DID
NOT CURE
SHERIFF FERGUSON TELLS HOW
HE TRIED TO CURE JOHN
WEIGAND OF A HALLUCINA-
TION AND FAILED.

In discussing the two cases of in-
sanity tried in the superior court
yesterday, Sheriff Ferguson told of
the case of John Weigand, the black
smith employed at the Valley Power
company and who was committed to
the insane asylum at Medical Lake
q few weeks ago. The man appar-
emily was sane on every subject but
one. He said that he was being fol-
lowed by a man and woman and he
had made his room at the Valley
Power company station a veritable
arsenal. He slept with a tomahawk
under his pillow and had revolvers.
rifles and other weapons stationed
near his bed. On being brought to
Wenatchee. in conversation he
stated that he thought he was not
crazy but that his hearing had been
developed to such an extent that he
away He said that a man and wo-
man were following him and had been
bothering him so that he could not
have any peace at all; that this wo-
man wanted to marry him and he
did not want anything to do with her.
He told of her being a bad woman
and that the man was no good and
that officers ought TO grab him and
lock him up. as there was a reward
of $500 offered for him.
The sheriff questioned him and
conceived a brilliant idea. Said Sher-
iff Ferguson TO the man:
Did you leave those people at
Peshastin?"
No: they came down on the train.
They follow me around all the time
They are right down on the street
now l can hear them talking"
Il cannot hear anyone talking.
said the sheriff.
Your ears are not developed like
mine are They are laughing about
it. They think that you folks have
got me now"
After the examination by the doc
tors ii was found that he was per-
fectly sane except on this one sub
ject.
Said the sheriff: Il figured that if
| could convince him that had them
under arrest that it might result in
cure. so | asked him the descrip-
/ tiOn of the man and woman He said
I that the woman was small, dressed in
! blue and had a red collar around her
neck. So | told him that We would
try to find them and put them in
| jail. liz said. That is the thing TO
/ do. because they are bad people.
Yes; that is the thing to do. Put
them in Jail
/ The next morning | went down in
the Jail and said to him. Well, John.
/ those people did not bother you last
night. did they?'
Sure they did. They were right
outside here last night
No; you are mistaken. We ar
rested them last night and put them
in the icty jail They could not have
been around here last night
/ You must be mistaken said
John.
No. I am not mistaken. | know
that We have the right people,
r.! Wait minute. Wait a min
ute. Listen' They are talking now.
The woman is talking to the man. She
just said to him, Those d Off
GERS. They thought that they had
US, but they didn't"
The sheriff has resolved that in
most instances it is waste of time to
attempt to cure the hallucinations of
crazy people.
