OF BOOTHS
AM|CA1LY SETTLED

Seattle, May 25.-As result of con-
ference between the special commit
tee appointed by the commissioners
representing the states having exhibits
at the Alaska -Yukon-P Pacific eXposl-
ton and the executive committee of
the fair directors, an amicahle settle
ment of the dispute over the location
of selling booths in front of state and
county buildings was reached today.
Following this conference it was
given out this afternoon that booths
will be located on the premises al
lotted to exhibitors only with the con-
sent of the commissioners in charge.
This arrangement is said to be en-
tirely satisfactory to the state COM
missioners, as it gives them the right
to prevent the erection OF any booths
near their buildings that might de-
tract from the beauty of the premises,

TO STOP PAYMENT

Salem, Ore, May 25.-Proceedings
were started in the state circuit court
of Marion county today to enjoin the
state treasurer of Oregon from pay
ing out 100000 of state money appro-
priated by the last legislature to be
used partly to defray the cost of con-
structing a wagon road from Medford

The road in question was the idea
of f. H. Hartman, who proposed that
If klamath and Jackson counties
would each contribute $4,000 and the
state appropriate 100000 more, he
would add $4,000 to make up the
necessary $250,000 which it is esti-
mated the road will cost. The course
of the projected road runs from Med
ford to Pelican bay lodge. Harrimans

THE FIRST BIG SHIPMENT
Peshastin Has the Honor of Sending five
Cars In One Consignment

The upper part Of Wenatchee valley
is beginning to come into its own. Pc
shastin has the honor to be first in line
with large shipment Of apples. Here
tofore only few scattering cars or small
shipments Of apples have been made,
and these to comparatively nearby mar
kets. This week five cars of apples go
in one consignment from Peshastin.
They are all fancy and extra fancy stock.
The fruit is intended for European con-
sumption. 1t will leave New York by
steamer in few days. The price paid
the growers for Spitzenbergs was 1925
per box.
The following growers contributed
each a percentage Of the $3.50 boxes OF
apples in the shipment: Guy Stage,
Charles Stage, w. F. Wright, J. P. Rob
inson, c. S. Craig, George Hauber, M.
w. Stark, H. w. Otis.
Last week a shipment of two cars OF
apples was made from Peshastin. In
another year shipments from this end OF
the valley equally as large as that first
mentioned above will not be so much
Of a novelty. In two years Leayenworth
will begin to ship apples in large lots,
and the whole valley will be producing
the finest fruit on earth.

and receives annually more than twice
as much money from the sale of timber
than she expends.
I would also advocate the imposing
upon all logged-of lands basic tax
sufficiently high to insure their revert
ing naturally to the state for reasona-
Bile compensation, the lands to be util-
lied in raising trees for future genera
tions; the levying of this tax to be
suspended in case private owners should
wish to set aside their logged-of lands
for the purpose of raising timber under
state regulations; this timber to pay a
cutting tax at the time it IS cut.
The details of such a tax and the
setting aside OF logged-of lands for the
raising of timber by private owners are
matters that can be worked out; the
interests of the people protected; the
revenue which the timber and lumber
interests should rightfully pay the state
provided, but collected in such a man
ner as will help conserve our forests,
instead Of encouraging owners to cut
and waste them as under our present
system of taxation. am firmly Of the
opinion that, if our forests are to be
conserved and new forests grown, the
first step necessary is the revision or
revolutionizing of our system OF taxation.
Red fir will attain an average diameter
of 10 TO 18 inches in 40 years; hem
lock a diameter of 18 to 20 inches in
the same length of time. The growth
of the timber examined by me is about
D inches in diameter during the past 10
years for trees 40 to SO years old, and
l inch in diameter for trees 125 to ESQ
years old. The growth on trees 400
years old is hard to read without glass.

]. E. GUTHERLESS MAYOR
Quick Action Taken on Resignation of
Louis J.. Nelson

A meeting of the Wenatchee Valley

was called for last Friday night to make
arrangements for the big Monday
night meeting (Which was not held on
account of bad weather.. A special
meeting of the town council had been
called for Saturday night, to act on the
resignation of L. J. Nelson as mayor.
Friday night the eighteen members
of the w. V. D. c. of L. were slow in
arriving, and, as all members of the
city council were present, the date of
the call for the special session was
changed to Friday night and the coun-
Gil was called to order.
]. E. Gutherless, on motion of R.
T. King, was chosen mayor in less
time than it takes to write it out.
Mr.. Gutherless can be counted on
to sign the lighting contract and ordi-
nance without mandamus proceedings.
The work will be taken up without de-
lay. 1t is believed lights will be shin
ing not later than Christmas.
The council ordered bids to be ad-
vertised for the building of the West

MAIL TRAIN RECORD RUN
Great Northern Places Mail from St. Paul in
Seattle Within IS Hours

A record of forty-ive hours from St.
Paul to Seattle, a distance of 1926
miles, has been established by the new
fast mail train of the Great Northern.
In parts of North Dakota and eastern
Montana the train has exceeded the
rate of a mile a minute, and west Of
Spokane it has established a new rec
ord Of thirty-four miles in thirty-seven
minutes.
Ever since the train was put on II
has beaten the time fixed by the post
office department Of forty-seVen and a
half hours for the run. Invariably the
New York mail has been late in its ar
rival at St. Paul, but the fast train on
the Hill line has been reaching Seattle
from one TO three or four minutes
ahead of time. Even on the fast
schedule that has been maintained on
the west end. better than an hour has
been picked up by the flyer between
Spokane and Seattle.
Beginning with the new passenger
train schedule on Sunday the Great
Northern inaugurated new eastbound
fast mail, express and baggage service.
This will be slower than the westbound
trains time, but is expected to beat all
previous eastbound records.
A freak situation in railroading has
developed from the fast mail schedule.
For two hours and fifteen minutes each
day there is but one Of the flyers on
the road. The mail train reaches Sc
attle at 5:45 a. m. and new train
leaves St. Paul at 5 O'Clock each morn
ing. During these hours the only mail
flyer on the run is one midway between
Seattle and ST. Paul. - Wenatchee
