ELLIOTT BOOSTS WASHINGTON
He Tells Big Meeting of the Wonderful
Pacific Northwest

E. M. Elliott of Wenatchee, who
attended the national irrigation con-
gress at Chicago, grasped all the op-
portunities he could to advertise the
Pacific Northwest. According to the
Chicago Examiner of Nov. 10 Mr.
Elliott delivered three addresses to as
many large meetings. Of one of them
the Examiner says:
The big ball room of the Hotel
La Sale was crowded to the door and
hundreds who could not gain admit
lance were turned away. Every avail
able space of standing room was taken
In the addresses the south Wed with
the west in the claims for advantages
for those seeking homes, both sections
of the country through their represent
atives pointing out the wonderful op-
portunities that are awaiting new set
tiers. In taking the platform E. M
Elliott, secretary of the North Central
Washington Development League, pre-
sented President Urion with an apple,
which he said was one of the largest
and most perfect grown in Washing
ton. Yet he declared it was typical of
Washington fruit.
There is room for thousands Of
comfortable homes in the state Of
Washington" declared Mr.. Elliott.
The resources are sufficient to clothe
and feed and make comfortable tens Of
thousands of people.
l am telling the straight truth
when l say that a person with family
to support can come to Washington
with $500 or $500 and by good judg-
ment, economy and thrift, can within
three years own a home of his own
worth $4,000 or $4,000.
We, out there, are much interested
in what the government is to do in
the preservation of natural resources, as
Washington has many. We also are
interested in the project for deep water
ways We want some Improvements
on the Columbia river and we believe
that the opening of the waterways Of
the country to commerce as well as
the Panama canal will greatly benefit
US out there.
This congress has given great
opportunity to tell Of the advantages
we can offer the people who want
homes of their own and place to live
in their old age. Washington, with its
fertile soil, its timbered lands, its beau
tiful scenery and its climate, stands
ready to welcome those who seek pros
perity."

Expect Higher Apple Prices

Many apples are going into cold
storage at the plant of the Wenatchee
Canning Co. Notwithstanding the high
prices of this fall great many growers
are of the opinion that apple prices
this coming spring are going to be
much higher than this fall, and as a
consequence are holding their apples
over. Agent Piper, of the Great North
ern, reports from his investigation there
will be from fifty to seventy-fve cars of
apples kept in the valley until spring,
and it is freely predicted that spring
prices will be higher than ever before
for western apples. Wenatchee World.

IN FAVOR
OF APPEAL RIGHT
Attorney Makes Argument Be-
fore House Committee for
Liquor Men.

The Finance Committee of the
House held a session last evening,
which was attended by the members
of the Liquor Dealers Association,
who were there in a body. accompa-
MED by their attorney, f. c. Peters,
in advocacy of he Moore bill as
amended by the Senate and presented
to the House for action. Mr.. Peters
made an argument in favor OF the
amended Moore bill
He stated that the bill did not take
away one iota of the power for con
trolling the liquor business. In fact,
he declared, it remains as strict as
ever. the only amendment being to
guarantee the right Of appeal to the
court in chambers-not before jury.
His argument, further. was that, al

Taking Rock From Wrong Land

The City and County is threatened
with a big suit for damages. 1t Is
charged with trespassing. 1t is alleged
that, in a way, the Moiliili quarry is
merely "blind'', sort of ''fence ,;
that in the past two years the City and
County has taken tons and tons of rock
that did not belong to it and crushed
it and spread it on the roads; in very
truth that every man, woman and child
who uses the streets is particeps Grim
inis, and as good as receiver of stolen
property.
Incidentally, if the charge is true,
and the City and County is held liable,
it may have claim over against Col.
Sam johnson and Tommy Cummins and
the sureties on their bonds as road su-
pervisor.
It all depends on whose rock has
been used during the past two years
from the Moiliili quarry. The County
of Oahu on May l, 1907, took a lease
for number of years of three or four
acres of property at Moiliili from the
John Ena estate, as quarry. The

WINE DEALERS MAY
HURT THE MOORE BILL

War to the knife may be declared
between the liquor ring and the deal
ers in wines. commonly known as the
California product, over the PROPOSE
ton to kill off "dago red, - and If
the determination is persisted in to
eliminate the red wine from general
sale in the Territory, certain OF the
dealers VIII muster sufficient backing
to mutilate the Moore whisky ring

grave where it belongs.
It is said that the brewery is back
ing the proposition to prevent the sale
of F"dago red" the presumption be-
ing that if the cred is eliminated
there will be greater sales of the brew
cry output 1t is likely that the local
agents of California products may ac-
quaint their mainland suppliers with
the information of the "whisky inter
ests.' and there is thought expressed
that some back water may make it I'M
pleasant for the regular liquor dealers.
This is a case where some dealers in
light wines feel that the whisky
ring Is treading on its toes. Should
dissension follow. it is believed that
the Moore bill will suffer.

A statement by Senator Mccarthy to
the effect that Superintendent of Pub

board was unnecessary, called forth ex-
tended remarks from Senator W. O.
Smith, who took the floor and in OPP
posing the concurrence in the amend
ments took the occasion to de-
clare that if the board was unneces-
sary something was decidedly wrong
and in immediate need of correction.
He declared against the placing of the
sole responsibility in the hands of one
man and said it was contrary to all
the lessons of experience.

The various bakeries have tentative
