remarkably close guesses were made

third prize that they had to guess
over again The beef weighed 920
pounds and E. w Cain guessed just
one pound more than the actual
weight He was rewarded with a 12-
pound turkey. Mrs. David Keith
guessed 923 pounds and the second
prize was awarded to her. Other
guesses were John Dooley 927. c. E.
Lewis 925. J. L. Tedford 915. and

GARBAGE EQUEST|ON
UP AGAIN
THERE Is A DEAD HORSE IN
TOWN AND NO PLACE TO BURY
THE ANIMAL-CHIEF INSCHO
IS POWERLESS TO ACT.

There is another dead horse in
town and no place to put it, Prop
erty owners below the bridge will
allow no more dead animals to be
buried there, and the only other
burial place that is at all practical
is too rocky to dig in. Chief of Po-
lice Inscho referred the matter to
Garbage Commissioner Latham and
Mr.. Latham was compelled to refer
the owner of the dead animal to his
own resources. Mr.. Latham has al
lowed two carcasses to be buried on
his own place, but objects to laying
in an extensive stock of them ani
decided to call stop on the pres
ent instance before too much prece-
dent got established
There has been continued talk
about getting the city to provide a
crematory where carcasses could be
disposed of in the best manner, and
the crematory could easily be made
self supporting, but in the meantime
there is a dead horse in town that
is not liable to keep until the crema-
tory is ready. The owner will have
to bury it in the night when no one
is looking.

AROUSING UNUSUAL INTEREST
DISMAY.

The races scheduled for tomorrow
on the lower speedway will be pulled
off at 10 o'clock sharp. There will
be no admission charges and the en-
tries will be free for all. There has
been a lot of excitement on the street
today about the races ani some
classy bursts of speed are expected.
All the druggists have sold out their
entire stock of speed dope several
days ago.
For some reason the upper speed
way on Chelan avenue was voted
down in favor of lower Wenatchee
avenue. Try-outs will be pulled off
there all this afternoon.
The entries will be all cutters,
single rigs.
In the colt races A. S. Griggs will
enter his famous bay colt Radium.
Peter Wheeler has a thoroughbred.

will get the decision if the judges
aren't too crooked Billy Lang is
Dragging about his entry. E. F. Nor
ris has something up his sleeve. ana
Charley Brown, of Chelan, has a
horse that has not been hitched in
the last six months. 1t is sure to go
some. Dr. Culp is in the race, too,
with something classy.
The other race will be for older
horses, anything between 7 and "a.
Bets are all in favor of Morning Glory
there, the famous old girl that took
everything coming at the Centennial,
back in '76. Morning Glory did it
then in 4:59.
Judge Martin has two entries in
that race, though there is some mys-
terry about one of the entries. Some
body said that the hired man was
bribed to drive it,

races the first prize will be a string

BUILD MODERN
APARTMENT
HOUSE
LOCATION TO BE INTERSECTION
OF DOUGLAS, CHEL4AN AND PA
MANY CONVENIENCES.

r. NJ. Lewis, of the Wenatchee
Business College, who has been MAX
ing several important real estate in
vestments in this city Of late, on last
Monday bought, through Norell &
Geyer, $50 feet of frontage at the
intersection of Douglas. Chelan and
Palouse streets. He announces today
his purpose to build on this admir-
able site a modern apartment house.
The two present buildings will be re-
moved in the spring ana work begun
at once 1t is hoped the building
will be ready for occupancy by fall,
The plans for the building have
not yet been drawn but Mr.. Lewis
expects to have them made after the
system used in the Lorena apart
ments of Seattle, situated on the cor
ner of Pike and Boylston streets.
These apartments are famous
throughout the country as inferior to
none. Their distinctive feature is
that each apartment has its own pri-
vacy and is equipped with a hallway
which is connected with every room
in the apartment. Large and con-
venient closets are admirably ar
ranged and the bedrooms equipped
with invisible beds The number OF
stories is not announced by Mr..
Lewis, nor is the material yet de-
cided upon, but Mr.. Lewis expresses
his decision to make the building
worthy of its superior location and of
the city or wenatchee, in whose fu-
ture he has the greatest confidence.
The tenants Of this building will
have as fine a view as can be obtained
anywhere in the city and nearly every
room in the house will be an out
side room, having full advantage OF
this view.

EXPLORER COOK IS

EXPLORES CLUB GIVES VERDICT
THAT HIS CLAIMS ARE FALSE
REGARDING MT. M'KINLEY AND
NORTH POLE.

New York, Dec 24.-An investi-
eating committee appointed by the
Explorers club in this city, has been
conducting an investigation of the
claims of DR.. Cook. They reported
today that the evidence, after an ex-
haustive investigation, fails to prove
that DR.. Cook reached the summit
of Mt. Mckinley. The committee fur
ther recommend that his effort to
seek glory by such reprehensible
means units him for membership in
their organization and that he should
be expelled therefrOm.

TODEvEl0P SUNNY
SLOPE TRACT
NEW WENATCHEE CORPORATION
H. f.. HARDESTY 4 co. no
HANDLE LARGE TRACT OF
LAND.

Papers have just been received
from Olympia announcing the incor-
poration of the Wenatchee Sunny
slope Orchard company, of which A.
c. Dallach of this city will be the
secretary. The company is composed
mostly of eastern men, whose capital
will be used in the development of
one of the best orchard tracts in
the entire valley. Most of these east
erners are already owners of prop
erty in this locality and readily ap-
preciate the value of an investment
in apple lands.
TIL company owns fine tract of
land on Sunnyslope. which will be
known as Sunnyslope Orchards. The
land will be watered by the Wenat-
chez high line canal, and as it Is but
three and one-half miles from the
center of the city, it is considered
one of the most desirable tracts in
the valley. It has been plated to
five-acre tracts and the Orchard
Growing company has been contract
ed with to properly plant the trees
and care for them until they are of
bearing age.
These fine tracts will be put on
the market shortly, and H. E. Har-
desty & Co. will be the sole agents
for the city of Wenatchee.

|HAY CORNER IS
WAvER|NG
PROSPECTS LOOK GOOD FOR
BREAKING KLIENBERG COR
NER AND THE EASING UP OF
THE PRICES OF THIS WINTER.

The tightness in the local hay
market that has been SO pronounced
ever since the announcement was
made in the World of December 13
about the corner that Henry Klien-
berg had effected in the Ellensburg
country, is liable to be relieved. The
Seattle and Tacoma dealers are try
ing to break the corner, and it is
likely that some action on the 10,-
900 tons of hay that Klienberg holds
the call on will be gotten in the
near future, as an effort will be made
to compromise if the market is not
relieved by the middle of January
The marketing Of the Ellensburg hay
will indirectly affect between nine
and twelve thousand tons of hay trib-
utary to Wenatchee that is being held
in small amounts all over the coun-
try by farmers who hope to make
still greater profits later
The present condition is unusual
and a long winter will mean that a
lot of stock will have to subsist on
tree tops toward the end of the win
ter. There is not enough hay up
river for the demand there, so no re-
| lief can come from that source. Hay
in the Methow is hard to buy at $40
a ton in the stack, and the Okano-
gan has no hay at all. The same old
discriminating differential in favor OF
| the coast still exists and is another
| factor in local shortage. In time
| of scarcity the interior towns fee
| the discrimination keenly, as they
must pay IS cents more per ton than
coast towns do for hay that goes
right by the town. Hay from Mos
COW, Idaho. or anywhere in that
neighbornood can be laid down in Sc
atsle for $3.50 per ton, and the same
shipment would cost s5.25 in We
natchee
| For some reason no hay can b,
shipped from the Palouse except OF
Great Northern cars that have to b.
specially arranged for at Spokane
! Palouse farmers are never anxious t,
sell at this time of the year as thei
roads are bad in the winter time an,
they do not like to disturb the stack
either However, some hay can b.
gotten from that quarter, although
won't relieve the price much, If any
the main question being to get tn
! hay at all.
The oat straw supply is limited an,
can be counted on for only a littl
while. L. r. Tice, when seen at tn
Rock Island Warehouse today wa
of the opinion that there would
no actual hay famine, but that tn
prices would hold UP pretty high IN
til the range opened in the spring.

Their voices are exceptionally well
balanced for blending of tone and
give very pleasing effect by their
harmonious balance The usual diff

organization Mr.. Brownell's voice
meets every demand The Brownell
