A gentleman hurriedly entered a drug
store to find an address In the directory,
but found a lady studying the book very
intently. He waited as patiently as he
could for a time. but she seemed no nearer
the object Of her search, and as his time
was limited he finally ventured:
.If you are in no great hurry. madam
would you be SO kind as to allow me to
glance in the book for just a mOment?"
"Oh, certainly replied she, sweetly. as
she relinquished it. Il was just loking it
over to find pretty name for baby"

OF Interest to Foreigners.
DR.. Noyes deals with a question that
tries who wish to send their daughters
to Paris to be educated. He says:
IF parents would only be careful in
their choice Of a school and consult those
on the spot who have no object to serve
but to give the best advice they can to
inquirers no harm could result.
Schools in Paris cannot be carried on
cheaply. The necessities of life aie all
taxed, and consequently living Is dearer
than in the country in England. Ma ~
mistakes have been made from choosing
school where the fees were q few
pounds less than others. Those who can
not afford a good school had better keep
their daughters at home.
Il do not. as a rule, recommend French
families for girls There are some most
excellent homes, of French pastors and
others, where every care is tahen. But
1 have known others where there was
culpable laxity. English girls cannot go
out alone in Paris as they do In England
it would not be safe: aud in some fam

EAGLE ROCK RANCH, {. MORRIS
SOLD TO SEATTLE MAN
Frank |. Curtis, Wealthy Lumberman
of Seattle, Bought Place as an In
vestment---One of Largest Deals of
the Season. Morris to Winter
in Southern California.

One Of the largest real estate deals
that has been cOnsummated this
season was made this week when the
E. Morris place, up the Squillchuck,
was sold through the agency of Ira.
ID. Edwards, to Frank l. Curtis, a
wealthy lumber and shingle man of
announced but il is said that the
figure is large enough to make it one
of the most important deals ever
made in the valley. The Morris
place was bought by Mr.. Curtis as
an investment. He does not intend
to move onto it but wanted a place
to invest his money and could not
find better opportunity than in the
Wenatchee valley.
Mr.. Morris settled on the place
about Is years ago and has made it
his home ever since he first came
into the valley There are 10S acres
involved in the transaction, Is acres
of which are in commercial orchard
most of which is in apples of the
best varieties. Two years ago Mr..
Morris marketed 1000 boxes of ap-
pies. Last year the crop was a little
snort and he had about 1000 boxes.
This year there is prospects of one
of the best yields in the valley. Mr..
Morris will also have some peaches
and quite large crop of apricots.
The Morris place, or the Eagle
Rock ranch, as it is known, is con-
sidered one of the finest fruit ranch
es in the valley. 1t has water from
the Philip Miller ditch and about SO
acres in cultivation, a modern house
and the best of improvements. Mr..
Morris is now getting well along in
years and he is going to have an op-
portunity to reap the rewards of his
long hard struggle pioneering it in
the Wenatchee valley. He has not
fully developed his future plans but
will likely spend the coming winter
in southern California among the
Wenatchee colony who usually take
life easy at Long Beach, Los Angeles.
San Diego and other interesting
points of sunny California.

D|SREGARDED PROTEST
Board of Managers of the Twilight
League Passed Up Appeal of
Real Estate Team.

President Owens of the board OF
managers OF the Twilight baseball
league called a meeting last night
for an executive session. One of the
matters that came up for considera-
tion was the appeal by Manager Rus
sell of the real estate team, on the
game played with Tammany last
week. Mr. Russell had filed his
grievances over the decision of Um-
pire Askew in writing. but by a vote
of three to four the board decided 10
overrule the appeal.
The question also came up last
night as to the eligibility of players.
During the past week a number of
teams have strengthened themselves
by the addition of new players. To-
morrow evening the board is going
to go over the list of players Of each
team and ruling will be made that
no new names to the members of the
team be added after that date.
Manager Jones OF the Columbia
Valley Bank team showed consider
able excitement several times during
the conference and made a cash bid
for several of the players of the op-
posite teams. He was especially de-
sirous of securing young Olum. the
pitcher of the Icemen's team.

BY WINNING GAME FROM EAGLE
TEAM-THE SNAPPIEST GAME
PLAYED THIS SEASON-SCORE
TO 4.
Standing of Clubs.

Amid the howls OF peevish bugs
the Bankers flew off the handle Mon
day night and stung the Bus Drivers
6 to !. The game was by far the
snappiest of the season and real
classy ball was tossed up to the fans
present There was a stiff breeze
blowing clouds of dust across the dia-
mond, making it almost impossible
for the fielders to judge the drives
correctly, but there were fewer er-
rors made than in any game yet
played With the exception of the
unlucky fourth, both teams played
wizard ball.
The feature of the game was a
lightning double play, H. Jones to
Ollum to Collier, retiring Anderson
and Hamilton with nobody down and
the heavy end Of the batting list
up.
"Rube Waddell" Duff and "Cy
Young" Hamilton loomed up as op-
posing pitchers in the getaway and
were both so stout that but one man
on each team was able to cross the
rubber until the gong struck for the
last half OF the fourth round.
In the three innings pitched by
Hamilton but twelve Bankers faced
him and but one run was made off
his delivery. Cramblett, who relieved
him in the fourth. was a bit wild
and was not given as good support as
was accorded Hamilton. In the FIVE
innings that Duff pitched but eight
cen men faced him.
Both Yates and Randall had their
sights on second base and it was
sure death to attempt to pilfer the
middle sack except with man on
third.
In the outer gardens everybody
was ON the job and anything that
skied to the truck patches went into
the waiting meat-hooks of the field
ers. Several sensational catches were
made after hard runs.
Both teams have strengthened
since their previous games and are
gradually tightening up. Monday
night it was almost impossible to get
anything past the inf1eld except a
clean bingle.

AFTER WOODEN SHACKS ON
WENATCHEE AVENUE
Commercial Club Members Recommend
to the City Council That Permission
Be Withheld for Remodeling Frame
Buildings Within the City Fire Limits
Twill MemorialiZe Council.

Those owners of street frontage
on Wenatchee avenue occupied by
frame shacks are going to have life
made miserable for them if their
property is not improved by more
substantial buildings.
w. A. Thompson at the meeting
last night made a motion that it be
the sense of the Commercial club
that the city council withhold per-
mission for the remodeling or i'm
provement in any way of any of the
frame buildings within the city fire
limits. This motion carried un-
animously and the city council is to
be notified of the action of the Com
club. The matter was called
to the attention of the Commercial
club by Mr. Thompson, who stated
The Wenatchee daily world. [volume] (Wenatchee, Wash.) 1905-1971, 1909-07-13

that one of the fran1e buildings
which has been considered an eye
sore is being remodeled for the ten
ant who occupies it. The disposi-
ton of the meeting last night was
to advise the city council to con-
denim large number of the frame
shacks in the business section Of the
city but the Commercial club did not
go on record on this matter, owing
to the fact that the club was not
advised as to the legal status of the
case or as to how far the authority
of the council might go in the con-
demnation matter. 1t was the sense
of the meeting. however, from the
speeches of the members that the
Wenatchee avenue business district
should be improved.
