IS STILL SPRY. At
GREAT AGE
J. LUCAS OF METHOW PROBABLY
OLDEST PERSON IN NORTH
NTRAL WASHINGTON -
BORN IN 1915.

Living at the little town of Met
how in the Methow valley is a man
whose life lacks but six years of
spanning a full century. This man
is J. Lucas He was born soon after
the close of the war of 1912, when
the population of the United States
included only two millions of people
along the Atlantic coast. In his life
time he has seen the rise of small
and weak group of states into what
the country is today-the proudest
and grandest nation on the face of
the earth.
The Pateros Reporter, in it's last
issue, has the following to say of
him:
"Mr. Lucas is "a years old and
gets around as spry as some young
men we know. He had corn on his
place this year that went 40 bushels
to the acre and was of fine quality
and his wheat crop was fine. Mr..
Lucas hired very little help this year,
doing most of his farm work him
self. He is not only very spry in a
physical way but mentally as well,
and he takes a number of papers and
magazines and delights in keeping
posted on what is going on in this
old world. We hope that he lives to
harvest many more good crops on his
Methow valley farm

WILL PLANT 5000
TREES
BROS. OF OHEIAAN no
SET SIXTY ACRES TO CONNER
CIAL VARIETIES THIS FALL
MAY SUBDIVIDE,

The Isenhart brothers will set out
5000 apple trees this fall on the tract
of land which they own just east Of
Chelan. They have a force of men
employed now getting the ground
marked off, and when the trees ar
rive from Wenatchee within the next
few days they will proceed with the
planting with as many helpers as can
be had in order to complete the work
before winter sets ia.
The orchard will be one OF strictly
commercial varieties The nursery
stock, which was purchased from the
Columbia & Okanogan Nursery COM
pany, includes the following varie-
ties: 1000 Winesap, 1000 Staymen
Winesap, 1000 Arkansas Black, 500
Jonathan, $50 Delicious, $50 Wag-
ner and 500 Rome Beauty.
They now have sixty acres of land
broken up and in fine condition for
planting. The trees will be set in
diamond form, 80 trees to the acre,
and the varieties are to be so distrib-
uted SO that the land can be divided
later into acreage tracts with a
frontage on the Chelan Landing road
and each tract have an equal proper
ton Of each of the several varieties.
1t is the present intention of the
owners to put water on this land next
year in order that the growth of the
trees may be hurried along as much
as possible The Isenharts own 100
acres in this tract, except what is
deducted for public highways, and
practically every acre of it is irri-
gable orchard land. The orchard to
be set out this fall is only the be-
ginning of the project to make the
whole quarter section one big COM
mercial orchard; and 1t is the begin
ming of development which will
soon bring large area of hitherto
unproductive land under a high
state of cultivation.-Chelan Leader.

MORROW

IS FOR A CLEAN
CITY
A. A. PIPER STATES HIS GEN.
ERAL POLICY IF ELECTED
COUNCILMAN WOULD BE FOR
A BETTER CITY.

Il believe you are all aware that
I am a candidate for councilman at
large, and that you all have an op-
portunity to vote for or against me,
regardless Of the ward in which you
live, and / in turn If chosen at the
primaries tomorrow, will be expected
to represent you as your councilman,
and for the benefit of those who do
not know how I stand on some of
the most important questions before
our city administration at this time,
I wish to make this brief statement:
"The part I played nj the recent
local option campaign no doubt set
ties thoroughly in your minds the
question whether I am, to use the
most common term, wet or dry
lam dry first, last and all the
time. Do not vote for me if you
think our city should be wet
During the past two years uor
city has cast of the saloon and its
kindred evils. We are rapidly ad-
justing ourselves to the new condi-
tions. Are they not great improve
ment over the old? We are going
forward, not backward. Why not
look and press forward? Every dol
lar spent for improvements will
bring us two in return.
''The manner for paying for new
improvements can, and of course will,
be adjusted so that the expense of
building better and greater Wenat-
hcee, will not be burden or hard
ship on any one of us-the builders.
Understand, this is not plea for
you to vote for me, but that you may
know what to expect if you do. If
it is your will and pleasure that we
have a good, dry, clean, city of We
natchee, a city of real business and
prosperous. happy homes, then you
may point me out as one of your
servants to work for and represent
you in the council of our Wenatchee.
