CLOSED WORK ON
STATE ROAD
CREW WORKING IN THE MET
HOW LAID OFF FOR THIS SEA-
SON-MADE EXCELLENT HIGH
WAY.

Work on the Methow-Barron state
road has ceased for this year. All
the big, heavy work is done and moth
ing remains now but some less i'm
portant grading that will keep eleven
convicts and team or two busy next
year. One of the finest automobile
roads in the state is now open and
ready for traffic on straight water
grade. Persons who remember the
old skyline grades that the Methow
used to compel its inhabitants and
visitors to travel will appreciate the
transition. Commissioner Bowlby
and Engineers Barton and Butler re-
turned on the Saturday boat from an
inspection trip in the Methow, and the
35 convicts are to be taken back to
the penitentiary at once. The con-
victs have done far better work than
was expected of such an assorted body
of men and the Methow citizens made
up a purse and presented them with
a Thanksgiving dinner as a token
of their appreciation.

the denials of high officials Of the
Northwestern company there is abun-

l.. G. MONROE STATES THAT THIS
ORGANIZATION is NOT RES
TO BE MADE IN NEW YORK.

The Spokane Chamber of Com
merce does not care to take any
responsibility or credit for the car
of apples shipped out of here last
week for display in New York City.
This was gathered by w. ID. Finley,
until recently connected with the Ma
tional Apple show. The Daily World
i'll it's writeup stated that the dis
play was being made by parties con-
nected with the Spokane Chamber OF
Commerce but at no time was the
statement made that it was the Spo-
kane Chamber of Commerce that is
making this eastern display. Fear
ing that the Spokane organization
would get the responsibility for this
eastern display, L. G. Monroe, sec
retary of the Spokane Chamber of
Commerce, has sent broadcast the
following statement:
Spokane, Dec. 12-L. G. Monroe,
secretary of the Spokane Chamber of
Commerce, made the following state
ment tonight relative to the report
printed in Wenatchee papers and
sent out from that city to the effect
that the organization had bought
car of selected apples there for ex-
ploitation purposes in New York
fc nF frIrf
in the reports The fruit purchased
by private parties is to be used in a
private enterprise in which the Spo-
kane Chamber of Commerce is rot
concerned William d. Finley, whose
name was used as assistant secretary
of our organization. is in no way
identified with the chamber of co.l-
merce and has not been in our e!-i-
ploy for more than week. This
organization is not in any way con-
nected with the proposed exhibition
! in New York City, nor has it been
called upon by any one to furnish
funds to install and maintain the dis
play of apples in New York City or
any other city. Ren H. Rice, secre-
tary of the National Apple show says
that his organization is not interest
ed in the exhibition in New York.
adding that Mr. Finley's employment
as field man ended with the closing
of the apple show on November 90.

old Cyrus tract recently purchased
by this company and comprises about
$50 choice business and residence
lots. The business lots run from $35

pretty general feeling among the
business men of this city that Ephra-

ment company secured control of the
Cyrus tract and began plating it "A
number of local people have aske!
for reservations to be made on lots
at that place.
In order to give the people of We
natchee an opportunity to get in on
the ground floor at Ephrata, the We
natcnee Realty q investment COIN
pany is going to hold the plats here
for three days, giving the local peo-
pie the first opportunity to buy. After
the expiration of the three days the
plat will be sent to Ephrata. whore
there is a strong demand for these
lots.
Ephrata is the county seat of Grant
county and is the second station east
of Quincy AS result of prospective
development and irrigation of the
Quincy fiat, Ephrata is destined to
become quite an important point and
it is safe to say that investors will
reap rich rewards of the result OF
present investments in Ephrata.

RAYN0R R0ASTS
lE[AYA

Washington, Dec. 13.-Speaking
of his resolution offered in the sen
ate Friday authorizing the president
of the United States to take oil ne
cessary steps to apprehend Zelaya
and bring him to trial on the charge
of murder of Groce and Cannon, tie
Americans recently executed in Mic
aragua, Senator Raynor today ad
dressed the senate at length. Ray
nor's speech was stirring and denun-
siatory in tone and was characterized
by dramatic fervor and was an un-
sparing arraignment of Zelaya. whom
be designated as one Of the criminals
OF the age OF the president of Mic
aiague Raynor said: I'm the school
of corruption, dishonor. perfidy and
crime he stands without a peer and
exhibits in one glow of associated
pride of every model and the perfec-
ton of every master"
OF the execution of Groce and Can
non the speaker said: This act is
not only the act of a fiend, but an
insult to the honor of this republic
and can not remain unavenged. 1t
is absolutely preposterous for us to
talk abotu indemnity. Indemnity is
no recompense for murder. 1t is said
we ought to declare war against Mic
arague. / think this is unnecessary.
This government is a cowardly gov
ernment If 1t does not make an ex-
ample of Zelaya before the eyes of
the civilized world. This case will
not admit of any trifling or conces
sion. II two American citizens have
been murdered by Zelaya then he
must pay the penalty for his crime"

Fruit growing is business based on
several sciences and no man who ex-
poets to make a permanent success
of fruit growing can afford to neglect
the scientific side.
Everything presented in this course
will be OF practical value to the
grower
There are a number of subjects of
vital interest to the fruit grower that
need to be worked out more in de-
tail. Special attention will be given
all such subjects.
The losses due to fruit pests this
year were in the main entirely un-
necessary. Go and learn how to con-
troll the pests. This can be well and
economically done by anyone who
knows how and does it right. Fruit
growers have more difficult and
original problems to solve than the
men of any profession. 1t is imper-
ative then that they study the busi-
ness from every standpoint
This course will be given in the
high school building and will begin
the first week after the Christmas
vacation, continuing six weeks Three
lectures week will be given on the
evenings most convenient for those
taking the course. After each sub
ject has been presented questions and
discussions will be freely invited.
The following is a suggested list
of subjects:
