LOCATE HATCHERY
At MONITOR
SUPERINTENDENT STATES THAT
ARRANGEMENTS ARE BEING
MADE TO PUT IN HATCHERY
ON WENATCHEE RIVER.

Last fall special committee ap-
pointed by Governor Mead to make
recommendations as to the cOnserva-
ton of the fish of the state recon-
mended the reestablishment of the
fish hatchery in the Wenatchee river.
Sam r. Sumner of this city was on
that committee and used every effort
possible to get the committee to
adopt resolutions favoring the re-
newal of the hatchery in the county.
That the recommendations of the
committee are to bear fruit is evil
denced by the announcement of the
state superintendent of the fish
hatcheries, John M. Crawford, who
was here last week and stated that it
Is his intention to reestablish a
hatchery on the Wenatchee river. In
company with Mr.. Sumner he made
the trip up to the old hatchery To-
Gated near Chiwaukum. 1t is the
idea of these men that in order to
be successful the hatchery must be
located below the intakes of the diff
ferent irrigation bitches and also be-
low the dams on the river. A point

site of the hatchery. and it is ex-
pected that this will be built this fall
or early next spring. The last leg
islature appropriated $4,000 for the
erection of the building and mainten-
ance for the first two years of the
hatchery on the Wenatchee river.
Mr. Crawford states that the build
ing and equipment of the new hatch
cry at Monitor will cost approx
mately $4,000.
The Wenatchee hatchery was first
opened in 1899 near Chiwaukum.
The first year the output was 8.000,-
600 salmon fry and each year there
after the output was very favorable
but the expense of maintaining the
hatchery was so great that after it
had been in operation five years it
was disbanded. 1t is expected that
the new hatchery will have an out
put of from 100000 to 1000, 900
salmon fry.

l second the motion. What mo-
ton? Why, the motion you made
in recent issue of the World that
the people of this valley get to-
gether, organize and generate some
interest and sentiment on the ques-
tion of good roads. About the most
important question in the develop
ment of a country is the production
of farm products, but the second
most important question is cheap
transportation to market, or to a
railroad station There were 2O0,-
100000 tons of farm products
hauled over the roads in this state
last year. The cost of this haul was
% cents per ton mile. The cost of
hauling over a macadam road is 8
cents per ton mile, the difference be-
ing $3O0,000,000 annually. enough
to macadam all our principal roads.
But why argue the matter? Let's
get together and get busy. There is
nothing more important to the farm
er. And what is important to the
farmer is likewise important to the

BIG PRICE FOR PEACH

The costliest peach in the world
valued at $270, is the feature of the
exhibit of H. S. Simmons of Wenat-
chez, Wash. at the Interstate fair
says the Spokane Chronicle. The
fruit. while luscious, is no better
than number of others, but it cost
Col. Joe Green, of Seattle, that
amount to become it's possessor
This summer, Mr.. Simmons, who
is well-known fruit grower of
Washington. after looking over the
peach crop in the Wenatchee valley,
told a number of friends that he was
willing to take Is cents a tree for
his crop. Col. Green, who was one
of the party, bet Mr.. Simmons $40
that he would not take that amount
and the wager was made
The colonel stated that he wanted
to buy the crop himself and made
out a check for the crop at the price
OF 20 cents a tree, amounting to
$3.50. When the crop was gathered
short time ago it was found that
exactly two peaches were in the or
chard, one of which was windfall
and rotten.
The "crop" occupies conspicuous
place In the exhibit of Mr.. Simmons,
decorated with ribbon and a placard
announcing the buyer ani price. The
peach Is known as the Simmons seed
ling.

FOR CITY
ONE-FIFTH OF TOTAL ASSESSED
VALUATION OF COUNTY is IN
THIS CITY - LEAVENWORTH
VALUES 1884, ,7S5.

County Assessor Osborn and Dep
uty Scheble are giving the final
touches to the compilation of the
values of the county. The work is
not completed as yet but they have
got far enough along to get the to-
tai assessed value of the county,
which, in real and personal property,
amounts to $10,360,S59. This is sub
ject to minor changes. Wenatchee
has an assessed valuation of $2,0SS,-
us. Leavenworth's valuation is
$334,7S5; Chelan, Cashmere and
Lakeside with the road districts are
yet to be totaled. The Great North
ern assessment as given by the state
tax commission amounts to $685.
044. The personal property amounts
to $3.50, LOG. The real estate amounts
to $6,57O,955. The Wenatchee Val
ley & Northern railway is assessed
at $44,7O5. The Western Union,
also assessed by the state tax COM
mission, is $9,049, making a total
valuation for the county of $40, $780,
859.
The figures from the assessors Of
flee show that the city of Wenatchee
is assessed for considerable more
than one-fifth of the total for the
county. This means that consider
able more than one-fifth of the total
taxes of the county are paid by We
natchee citizens. The proportion is
going to be considerably increased
during the coming year as the i'm
provements are greater In this city
than in all the rest OF the county put
together.
