very high, ranging in price from 21s
cents to 8 cents per pound, or about
$55 to $50 per ton. The new crop
is quite relief to consumers in the
reduction of prices from what they
have had to pay during the past sew
eral months or since the old crop was

ORDER BUILDING Of
COUNTY ROAD
CHELAN COMMISSIONERS AU-
THORIZE CONSTRUCTION FROM
PESHASTIN TO LEAVENWORTH
WILL SHORTEN THE ROUTE.

The county commissioners have in
structed Fred Berry, county engineer,
to begin the construction of a new
county road between Peshastin and
Leavenworth. The road will be
built on a water level and will run
along the south side of the Wenat-
chez river. and shorten the present
distance by road three miles.
The change in the road will be of
great benefit to the ranchers in the
valley, as it will allow the hauling
of bigger loads and make easier ira
yelling.
The county road between Chiwau-
KUN and Wenatchee lake has also
been changed and the fording Of Ma
son creek three times has been done
away with. The road has been short
ened a mile and bridge constructed,
so that but one crossing Of the creek
is necessary.

PRODUCE co. NOW
OCCUPYING LARGE PORTION
OF NEW ADDITION WHICH HAS
JUST BEEN COMPLETED.

The new addition to the Wenat-
chez Produce company which has
been erected on the north side of the
original building is almost completed
and the company is occupying con-
siderable portion of it. The clerical
forces will have Office quarters in the
new portion. One of the principal
reasons for building was the neces-
sity for a new vault. This has been
constructed of reinforced concrete
with double walls, making it abso-
lutely fire proof. The safe and the
valuab1es have been moved in.
The Wenatchee Produce company
in this one building has over 10000
feet of floor space and this Is all
crowded full with the immense stock

PECTS OF FOUR-STORY BLDG.

The Wenatchee Realty & Invest
ment company this week purchased
from o. B. Fuller the lot occupied
by the harness shop just north of
the Little-Wetsel market. This lot
is 25 feet. The same company also
purchased from Gehr & Tiimarsh

100 feet from the corner of Wenat-

Wenatchee Realty & Investment COM
pany owns so feet, and while Mr..
Gehr will give out nothing positive
as to the immediate future, yet both
he and Mr.. Tidmarsh and the We

ming on the erection of a four-story

graveling and cement sidewalking of
Okanogan avenue between Orondo
and Chelan. This is the block west
of the city park.
The census which is being made
by the Elk club of this city through
the Polk directory agency was given
an official sanction last night by the
city council with the understanding
that there was to be no cost to the
city for this work.
The late Star theatre proprietors,
Albin & Taylor, asked for refund
of nine months of the annual license
of SIS. The theatre suspended oper-
ations after six weeks license was
used and now seek to have a rebate
on this license. The matter was re-
ferred to the license committee.
There was considerable discussion
over the matter of the city purchas-
ing a rock crusher. E. Nj. Elliott,
of this city, and A. F. Blair, repre-
senting a manufacturing concern, ap-
peared before the council and eX-
planned the workings of rock crush
er handled by their company. 1t
seemed to be the sentiment of the
members of the council that crushed
rock was absolutely essential to
maintaining good roads in the city
and the matter was finally passed up
to the street committee for a recon-
mendation to the council at the next
meeting.
R. S. Luiington, representing Illi-
nois residents of the city and vicinity,
asked that the city park might be
used for an Illinois reunion to be held
on Monday, September 6. The coun-
Gil some time ago passed a resolution
any special gatherings outside of the
one night each week given to the
band. This was owing to the fact
of the shortage of water and the diff
Guilty in keeping up the grass in the
park, consequently the request was
turned down last night and the men,
bers of the council agreed to hold
by their former ruling, prohibiting
all such gatherings.
An order was made that Chief
Throw be connected with the tele-
phone fire alarm system. This is to
be installed in his house.

JAIL BUILDING
COUNTY COMMISSIONERS WILL
HAVE THIS MATTER UNDER
CONSIDERATION ON FRIDAY
PROPOSED COST $4,000.

The county commissioners now in
session with the board of equalization
will meet tomorrow in regular ses-
sion and considerable amount of
business is ahead of the board. One
of the matters that will be considered
on Friday will be that of a new Jail
for the county. A representative Of
the Paully company, jail builders,
will be here on Friday and present
plans for new Jail. The commits.
sioners anticipate that it will cost
about $4,000 to erect, the character
of building desired. The plan is to

with the additional new ones and
equip the county with building that
will be adequate for many years to
come

ORS, HAVE TEAMS AND MEN
AT WORK ON NORTH WENAT.
CHEZ AVENUE.

Ground was broken today by Con-
tractors Allyn & McKiver on the We
natchee avenue regrade. Foreman
Christensen with teams, plows and
scrapers, started the first work on
the little hill north Of the Wenatchee
Produce company and work will be
confined to the north section of the
contract for the present. Foreman
Christensen stated that it Is likely
that men will have to be brought
over from Seattle for this work. The
contractors thought to use as much
local help as possible but he stated
that it is with difficulty that work
was started this morning, owing to
the lack of help. Contractor McKiver
will probably be here tonight from
Seattle and it is the expectation to
push the work just as rapidly as pos
sible and different crews will be en-
ployed on the various sections.

TODAY CELEBRATING THEIR
WEDDING ANNIVERSARY-HAD
ACTIVE LIFE.

Judge Palmer, who dispenses JUS
tice to the offenders in the city po-
lice court, is in a benevolent mood
today and 1t is safe to say that any
offender would not have cause to
complain of harsh treatment from
the Judge today. He and his wife
are celebrating their fiftieth wedding
anniversary and are at home to their
friends at their residence ON lower
Okanogan avenue, between Orondo
and Douglas.

The city council last night had
under consideration number of
street improvements which mean
much to the city of Wenatchee. The
improvement of Orondo avenue from
the railroad track to Fourth street
was up for discussion, also improve
ments on Okanogan from Orondo to
Chelan and Chelan avenue from Sec
ond to Fifth. The completion OF
these projects means great deal to
the appearance of the city.
A number of Orondo avenue citi-
zens were present and Joined in a
protest against any considerable
change in the grade of Orondo ave-
nue., the idea being to maintain the
grade so as to protect the trees which
make such a favorable showing on
this avenue. All objections were fin
ally removed after discussions on the
matter by George H. Ellis, S. F. Gill
man, G. A Harlin and F. J. O'Con-
ner. The plan is to make this avenue
SO feet between the curb lines. There
will be a ten foot parking strip be-
tween the sidewalk and the property
line, a six foot sidewalk outside of
the trees and "a four foot parking
strip between the sidewalk and the
curb, cutting down the driving space
on the street to so feet. When the
improvements contemplated are COM
pleted Orondo avenue will make a
beautiful thoroughfare.
The plan is to cut out the parking
strip below Chelan avenue. An ordi-
nance was introduced and given it's
first reading providing for this work.
A resolution was also introduced
providing for the location of a sewer
in block 3S between Douglas and
King.
There was also considerable dis
cussion over the improvement of Che
Ian avenue, and a resolution was in
troduced providing for this improve
ment The plan is for a 80 foot
parking strip and Is foot of road
way and this improvement is to be
only on the west half of the ave-
nue. Protests on this Improvement
will be heard two weeks from last
night.
An ordinance was also given first
reading providing for the grading.

H0LCOMb IS ACT
ING MANAGER
DURING SICKNESS OF NJ. O. TIB-
BITS, PRESIDENT OF FRUIT
GROWERS ASSOCIATION, p. p.
HOLCOMB WILL BE AT HEAD.

P. P. Holcomb is acting manager
of the Wenatchee Fruit Growers as
sociation. M. O. Tibbits, the presi-
dent and manager, has been sick for
the past month and his resignation
was informally placed before the
board of directors yesterday at a
meeting held. No action was taken
on the matter, but Vice President
Holcomb was empowered to take
charge of affairs until Mr.. Tibbits is
able to be around again and by that
time it is possible that he will recon-
slider the matter of resigning.
Another matter that came up for
consideration yesterday at the meet
ing was as to the disposition of the
apple crop of the members for this
coming season. Many propositions
for handling the crop were discussed
but though no formal action was ta-
ken, yet it seemed to be the senti-
ment of the board of directors that
the same policy employed last year
should again be adopted this year,
to pool the apples and advertise for
bids for the whole crop. This has
been the method employed for the
past two years for .disposing of the
apples and has proven very satisfac-
tory.
