of the reward when it is seen that
products similar to the Wenatchee
Valley can be produced on land
which can be obtained much cheaper.
The present plan is one which adj
vertising men style a campaign of
education. The public must first be
attracted to the thing itself. For
this purpose no better plan could be
found than to hire good, live re-
porter; an able newspaper man,
thoroughly conversant with the work
ings of a big newspaper Office, and
competent Judge of news as 1t APP
peals to a news editor. In every big
newspaper Office there is an individu-
al who is styled the news editor. He
is little heard of by the outside
world, for the reason that he sits
at his desk, ana news Is hurled at
him from all parts of the world.
There he sits, night after night, with
the gossip of the world at his finger
tips, rejecting one thing and accept
ing the other.
The one thing that makes a news
editor print a story in a big news
paper is the fact that it is prepared
in the proper manner, and is interest
ing. Any news writer knows he
must appeal to the news editor.
There are many subjects in this Sec
ton of the country that would ap-
peal to the news editor. A good re-
porter who knows the ways of the
news editor could get them printed.
That is what is done in Spokane.
There they give their reporter $780,
900 year to spend in getting just
interesting news stories in papers all
over the country. 1t may be just an
interesting little story, such as may
have happened in Hoboken or San
Antoine, but the papers print 1t be-
cause it is a good story. To read
the story, the public starts out with
the date line, Spokane, and thus the
town is advertised in the news col
umns, which. after all, is the choicest
advertising obtainable.
We offer this as suggestion to
the citizens who will meet at We
natchee to consider advertising this
section of the country.

SHOULD HIRE GOOD REPORTER
Good Suggestion for Wenatchet
Commercial Club by Ephrata
,JOurnal

The Wenatchee Commercial club
has advanced a plan for publicity and
development of the counties OF Che
Ian, Douglas, Grant and Okanogan,
says the Ephrata Journal. 1t is pro-
posed to have meeting at Wenat-
chez next month to talk the matter
over, and devise some means OF at
tracing attention of eastern people
to this particular section.
The idea is good. ana should be
given serious consideration by the
section proposed to be covered and
benefited. Without doubt the name
of Wenatchee is the one to conjure
with. That valley has already become
well advertised through its famous
red apples. 1t may be argued that
the Wenatchee valley alone will reap
the benefits, but such is not the case.
Perhaps Wenatchee will reap the
first rewards, but the surrounding
country will come for its share later.
When people come to Wenatchee and
find the high values OF land, they
will begin to cast around for a loca-
ton where 1t does not take so much
capital to start on. Then the 9TH
er sections will come in for their part

PAY FOR BRIDGE
BY BOND ISSUE
CONTINUED from First Page.)

on the bridge two irrigation pipe
| lines, each Sc inches In diameter.
Under the terms of the bill the canal
company's pipe lines will continue
to be carried on the bridge, for which
the company will pay one-third the
cost of maintenance.
The county commissioners Of Che
Ian and Douglas counties and the
state highway board are authorized
under the bill to grant franchises
for a single track for the operation
of a suburban or street railway. 1t
is also provided that permission may
be granted for the suspension Of
pipes for water and gas from the
bridge and for stringing electric
electric cables.
The plan for paying the $4,000
asked for the bridge provides for
issuing warrants against the state
highway fund to be taken up by the
sale of 5 per cent bonds to run twelve
years. At the end of twelve years If
the bonds are not paid provision is
made for canceling the debt by d.
rect tax levy.
Senator w. H. Paulhamus declared
that the bridge was built principally
to furnish means of getting water
for irrigation purposes. "The canal
company having bought land cheaply
and by getting water upon 1t was
able to sell it for good price, and
| it now has no further interest In
owning the bridge" said Senator
Paulhamus. "By getting the price
of the bridge back from the state, 1T
will be able to carry on its work of
selling water for irrigation without
having $4,000 invested"
Senator Davis, who proposed the
bill, said that for several months in
the year the Wenatchee ferry is un-
able to operate and the farmers are
compelled to pay toll over the bridge.
The bill passed by vote of 80 to 3.

Laundry Wisdom.

1t is sometimes very difficult TO keep
flatirons smooth and nice. Should
they become rough it is very good
idea to rub them over paper which
has once contained a cake of kitchen
coap. This will be of enormous assist
ance. The paper may be kept on the
ironing board on a large pad made of
folded brown paper, which will serve
to test the heat, and at the same
time the iron will be kept clean. A
small piece of wax, too, is excellent
for producing a gloss and parafiine
has the same effect.
When ironing between buttons or
when ironing anything on which is
sewn a great many buttons (and what
it not covered with them in these
daysO, the article should be turned
right side down on a folded Turkish
towel. The iron may be rubbed over
the wrong side and the buttons will
sink down into the soft pad thus made
for them, and the space between
them will be ironed perfectly smooth.

or both? On the determination of
this question depends the mineral to
be applied to Mr.. Taft. Is the new
executive to be the twenty-sixth or
twenty-seventh president? Several
Mckinley memorials, 1t is said, are
inscribed with the statement that the
dead Ohioan was the twenty-fifth
president. This would make Roose-
welt twenty-siXth and Taft twenty
seventh.
Cleveland was the twenty-second
man to hold the office of president.
and the fact that he held it twice
with the administration OF another
man between his own two terms.
would not seem to alter the fact. If
he were to be called both twenty-sec-
ond and twenty-fourth the same sys-
tenn of counting would demand that
every reelected president since the
beginning of the government would
have to be counted twice. We count
by presidents, not by terms, and it
appears that Mr.. Taft will be twenty
sixth president and that the Mckinley
monuments are improperly inscribed.

Steel Cooking Utensils.

A process which makes possible
the substitution of steel for malleabIe
iron in many articles of light hard
ware has been invented by l.. S. Lach-
man, and is described in the Engi-
neering and Mining Journal. The
method is founded primarily upon the
idea that as two pieces of metal of
unequal section do not unite readily
to form a good weld. two points, or
a point and ridge, must be raised
on the pieces to be united. These
raised contacts are forced together
under hydraulic pressure, and form
Ing the link of lowest conductivity in
an electric circuit, are heated by the
current to a temperature at or near
fusion; the two projections are thus
quickly united and form a bond or
riyet which is even stronger than an
ordinary rivet, because It is in one
piece with the body of the metal.
