PESHAST|N CENTER
Of EXCITEMENT
SCENE OF FOREST FIRE AND
WRECK ON THE GREAT
NORTHERN RAILROAD-MANY
MEN FIGHT FLAMES.

Peshastin, Sept. 13.-Peshastin
has been in the whirl of excitement
and misfortune during the past few
days. Last Thursday j. J. Griffith
started little fire on his ranch two
miles from town, to burn off a piece
of slashed timber preparatory to
building dam for storage of water
to be used for irrigating. The fire
was we'll under control and was do
ing nicely when all at once a fire
broke out far up hillside. A whirl-
wind had caught a bunch of dry
burning leaves and weeds and car
ried them up the hillside The fire
spread and became manageable
The forest rangers of Leavenworth
were sent for and a crew Of 20 or
more men went to work to stop the
conf1agration. They worked all night
and on Friday and the wind Saturday
was still spreading the flames.
1t is said that misfortunes come
not singly, which is true in Mr.. Grit
fith's case, as the family has been
quarantined for diphtheria or scar
let fever greater part Of the sum-
mer and were still under quarantine
when the fire broke out.
Word was received Saturday that
passenger No. A, which passes here
at 4:10 a. m, was wrecked at Dry
den, three miles below here. Several
from here went to the scene at once
The engine, baggage car and smoker
were almost a complete wreck, and
one other coach badly demolished.
The remaining four coaches remained
on the track. The engine plowed
into the dirt, gravel, ties and rails,
and although not yet removed at the
time of writing, it looks to be in bad
condition. No one was hurt except
the engineer, who lost one finger in
the operation. In clearing up the
wreck two workmen were quite bad
ly injured about noon as the result
of a truck aEd bent rail falling on
them. One fthe men was bruised
on the body and shoulders and the
other had his left foot crushed. The
switch engine from Leavenworth was
sent for at once and they were taken
to Leavenworth The cause Of the
wreck was an open switch at Dryden.
The engineer saw it when nearly to
it and applied the air at once This
is all that saved many lives, as the
train was running 40 miles an hour.

Will Still Retain Building.

Though w. T. Rarey has closed out
his saloon business on Wenatchee
avenue, he will still retain the lease
of the building, which belongs to
Henry Grass. He has had a number
of offers for 1t but as he holds it
on long time lease he prefers to
keep it for the present anyway. VIM
Green and O. r. Frisbie, who have
been with Mr.. Rarey for number of
years, will leave next Sunday for Sc
attic on vacation. Mr.. Green will
return here and will probably take
up fruit growing as a vocation. Mr..
Frisbie will go on to Spokane and
possibly to Minot, where he has had
offers of position.
John Miller, who has also been
employed for the past six months in
the Tumwater, may go to Okanogan
where he and Mr. Green own orchard
land, and it is likely that he will
plant the tract to fruit this fall.
Tommy" the Jap, will devote his
time to his restaurant interests.

0STbY'S CASE WAS
CONTINUED
WILL NOT BE TRIED ON CHARGE
OF WRECKING HIS BANK AT
BREWSTER UNTIL NEXT JANU-
AIRY.

The case of J. o. Ostby of Brew
ster, who is charged with wrecking
a bank at that place, will not be tried
at the September term of the We
natchee court. The case was on the
calendar for trial in Conconully last
June, but on a showing of prejudice
existing in the county, a change of
venue was granted to Chelan county
and the case set for trial in Septem-
ber. County Attorney Brown has a
full month mapped out for him here
in the Phillips case and several other
criminal trials that could not be post
pOned, and as the superior court of
Chelan county does not have jury
term after September until January,
the case was obliged to go over until
that time. Judge Grimshaw declined
to continue the jury term into Octo-
ber, owing to that being the busy
season, and it working a hardship
on most of those drawn for jury ser

SUMMER HOMES At.
REYNOLDS
ONE HUNDRED ACRES CUT UP
INTO SMALL TRACTS AND WILL
BE SOLD TO THOSE DESIRING
SUMNER HOMES.

F. A. Reynolds, of Mason Creek,
has recently had plated under the
new name of Cascade Heights, tract
of 100 acres of his land on Mason
Creek. This has been divided into
five-acre tracts and it is Mr.. Rey-
nolds' intention to put that on the
market specially for summer homes
for Wenatchee, Leavenworth, Cash
mere or Seattle residents. A large
number of people of this city make
it a point to spend several months
during the heated season in the
mountains somewhere adjacent to
Wenatchee, and it is Mr.. Reynolds
idea to put a reasonable price on
these five-acre tracts, allowing the
purchasers to erect summer cottages
ami fixing 1t up for use in the heated
season.
Trout fishing is magnificent in
Mason Creek during the summer
months and the air which blows from
the mountains is absolutely pure.
There Is no heat and it is Mr.. Rey-
nolds' belief that he will have no
difficulty in disposing of his twenty
tracts which have been placed on the
market. Two of the tracts have al
ready been sold.

THINKS BOTH ARE
IN ERROR
FRENCH SCIENTIST BELIEVES
BOTH PEARY AND COOK FAIL.
POLE

Paris, Sept. 13.-Raymond Lesion
nat, member of the superior council
of navigation, said today that he
thought the difficulties Of ascertain
ing the position of the high polar
attitudes made it quite likely that
both Peary and Cook were in error.
The delicacy of the recording instru-
ments and the fact of excessive cold
making 1t necessary to handle them
in muffled fingers, together with the
refraction of the rays of the sun,
make the accurate use of the sextant
almost impossible. He thought the
dash to the pole is of little scientific
value. The real secrets have been
found at the magnetic pole, where
the study of conditions might fur
nish important indications of the
physical properties of the globe

HAVE A MODEL
HARDWARE
THE HALBERT & WEBER HARD
WARE co. NOW NICELY LOCAT-
ED IN NEW BUILDING l.. HI.
BREECE TAKES INTEREST.

The Halbert & Webber Hardware
company is now nicely located in its
new quarters in the Halbert building.
This structure was erected on pur-
pose for the hardware company and
1t has all the conveniences for an up
to-date store of this character. C.
B. Halbert has severed his connection
with the company and a large por-
tion of his interests has been pur-
chased by L. H. Breeze, who will be
actively associated with Mr.. Webber.
The latter has devoted his life to the
hardware business, making a special
study of shelf goods. He takes a
special pride in what he handles. He
wants it Of the very best. That is
one thing that he is especially par
ticular about.
Mr.. Webber in his several years
residence in this city, has sought to
build up solid, stable hardware
business on the merits of the goods
handled by his company and the in
crease in the business warrants him
in the belief that the people of this
valley are satisfied with the treat
ment and the goods received at this
store The stock on hands is most
1y new, as the sale which was in pro-
gress prior to moving cleaned out
most of the old stock and everything
is new and up-to-date.
The new quarters are much more
will be easier now to display the
goods than in the old store building.
