been in possession of the business

each large city has its own inspect

VALLEY WATCHING
PLANET MARS

A year will probably elapse before
the observations now being taken of
the planet Mars by astronomers of
the world will be put in concrete
form and disseminated throughout
the world. This Is the opinion of
DIR. F. J. Van Kirk, close student
of astronomy. Photographs Of the
planet are being taken and the in
formation which these will yield can
not be classified and published for
some time.
Mars and the earth are in opposi-
tion and are now only about $4,000
600 miles apart. The planet is
nearer the earth than it has been
for Is years. 1t is visible in the
southeast and may be seen all night.
1t looms large in the heavens and
appears blood red in color Mars Is
in opposition to the earth only in
the months of July, August and Sep
tember It's orbit is about 685 days,
while that of the earth Is 365.
People throughout the valley are
watching the planet with interest.

ters association were sold last night

duce company and the Gibson Fruit

During all day yesterday there were
various rumors current as to {the
probable action of the association
One report was that the prices were
considered too low by the associa-
ton and that the directors would re-
advertise. Other reports were that
the prices on Winesaps were con-
sidered too low and that the associa-
tion itself would market this variety
of apple, but late last night the di-
rectors decided to accept the bids
of the Wenatchee Produce company
for a portion of the varieties and
of the Gibson Fruit company for the
balance.
The association directors refused
positively to give out any informa-
tion as to the prices paid but the
various buyers are fully posted on

M'KEAN' SPR0JECT
At WATERv|[LE
SEATTLE ENGINEER WHO RE-
GENTLY PURCHASED POWER
SITE AT CHELAN TO BUILD
WATERVILLE-DOU ROAD.

For the past week the trustees oi
the new Waterville Railway company
which was organized for the purpose
Of building a railroad between Wa
terville and Douglas, have been bns;-
" engaged in devising plan for he
construction of the road at an early
date. says the Waterville Empire.
Monday morning last they char
tered three automobiles and went
over the proposed line, travelling the
greaer part of the distance on foot,
and it was decided that with a few
changes an excellent grade for an
electric road with little expense could
be made.
However, some of the trustees had
been corresponding with Frank Nc
Kean. general manager of the Rainier
Power & Irrigation company of Sc
attic, and as Mr.. Mexican was N
town a meeting was called for Z
o'clock that evening.
At this meeting all the plans were
gone over and Mr.. Mexican offered to
construct the road, equip it with roll
ing stock and electricity for the sum
of $4,000. which had been sub
scribed. An agreement was entered
into between the trustees and this
gentleman to that effect, providing
that Mr.. Mexican furnishes the re-
quired bonds for fulfilling the con-
tract.
Mr.. Mexican just recently purchas-
ed the power plant of George d.
Brown at Chelan Falls, which, when
it is developed will furnish $4,000
horsepower. He also has three power
sites on the Methow estimated to fur
nish between 10000 and 10000
horsepower.
According to the contract entered
into by Mr.. Mexican he is to have
surveyors here next Friday to sur
vey and cross-section the line and as
soon thereafter as possible to begin
construction work on standard
guage road, to be completed in 80
days, equip the same with electric
power, 20 boxcars, 10 flat cars, two
i1terurban passenger coaches and one
locomoter for freight hauling.
Mr.. Mexican agrees to operate the
road for ten years, pay all taxes and
bonded Indebtedness. During the
next ten years he agrees to pay f.
per cent dividend to the stOckhold'
ers and at the expiration OF 20 years
turn the line and equipment over tC
| the stockholders in as good condition
| as when built, aside from natural
wear and tear.
The trustees believe that Water
Vile could not ask for better prop
osition for the building of this line
As the $4,000 subscribed fol
stock by the business men and farm
ers will be used for the construction
of the road it will be necessary fol
every one to be prepared to pay of
the notes given for stock as soon a!
possible, so that there will be no de
| lay in the construction of the road
| This is now one of the most import
ant features of the deal. II the roat
is built the money must be forthcom
| ing to build it.

RAILROAD OUTFIT
To CO NORTH
SCRAPERS, WAGONS AND GEN
ERAL OUTFIT PASS THROUGH
CITY NEXT MONDAY ENROUTE
TO OKANOGAN.

]. C. O'Brien, foreman for A. W.
Guthrie & Co., the Minneapolis con-
tractors who have secured the con-
tract for the Oroville-Brewster line,
was in the city yesterday and made
arrangements with the c. & o. COM
Lany for moving its outfit up the
river next Monday. The outfit in
cludes the scrarers, wagons and a
general contractors outfit. The fore
man stated that it was understood
that his company had a contract for
S5 miles, which means that the road
will be built to Pateros. The Asso-
ciated Press despatch which tells of
the awarding of this contract says
that it was for 70 miles, which in
that case would only take the road
to the mouth Of the Okanogan. The
owners of Methow property are hope
full that the road will be built as
far as Pateros. The contract price
was given at $2,000,000 and the
foreman states that this company is
given 200 days to complete the big
contract.

CLAIM SHORTAGE
Of TREES
PRICES OF NURSERY STOCK AD-
VANCE TWO CENTS TO THE
TREE OVER LAST YEARS MAR
KET.

AS a result of claim of an un-
usual demand for fruit trees for this
falls planting, the price of nursery
stock has jumped on the average of
2, cents to the tree. Last year ap-
pie trees sold from $14 to $18 a hun
dred and this year they are selling
from SIS to $40 Other fruit trees
are held for sale at a like proper
tion in price
There appears to be a shortage all
over the northwest. At least, nur-
serymen from all sections are at
tempting to get all the stock they
small stock has developed into a
nurseryman's war. Contracts have
been made for most Of the season s
available stock and being threat
ened with shortage the nursery
men have been getting all the trees
on which they can lay their hands
Reap Big Profits.
Nurserymen of the northwest will
profit to no small extent as a result
of the alleged increased demand.
Apple trees are planted about so
to the acre, which means that with
the planting of 20-acre orchard
the increase in profits over and
above what 1t would have meant
last year on a similar tract will be
$40.
The planter pays the freight" 2"
and while the individual increase in
cost of nursery stock to the farmer
is comparatively small. the aggre-
gate increase to the nurserymen
where hundreds of thousands OF
trees are sold in the course of a sin
gle season means a most handsome
profit on the years sales.
They have all recognized the op-
portunity to make big profits and
the result is that they are all taking
on all the stock they can carry
Those who handle the greater share
Of the supply of this country, it is
said, have been particularly aggres-
sive in getting control of young trees
for the fall market.
Say Trust Exists.
Not only that. The small fellow
has gone so far as to accuse the big
concerns of being in a trust. They
say that they are buying up all the
nurseries on which they can lay
their hands and that they are aiming
to control the prices Of the tree mar.
ket.
They believe that the big fellows
have to an extent cornered the tree
market for the fall supply and they
accuse them of taking advantage OF
the shortage of trees and the un.
usual profits to the extent that they
will eventually control by far the
major portion of the nursery stock
of the northwest.
