S1.OO Per Year
10000 TREES IN AN ORCHARD
D. NJ. Thomas VIII Have the Largest Oae-
Man-Owned Orchard in the State
Over 200 Acres

The largest one-man-owned apple
orchard project that his been heard OF
in Washington is the one proposed by
Leavenworth's own D. M. Thomas.
He has 200 acres OF fine land east of
town on the east side OF the Wenatchee
river. The place now contains $500
growing trees, some Of which will
come into bearing next year.
Mr.. Thomas is preparing to plant
next spring 5000 more trees, which
will give him probably the largest Or
chard owned by any one man in the
state. There will be about $4,000
trees. The past year he picked more
than 800 boxes. of apples and expects
to receive three times as much the
coming year; and of course, every
year thereafter will show increased
yield. In five years Mr.. Thomas will
have an income which will enable him
to retire from business life. A few
months ago Mr.. Thomas refused an
offer of $35, 900 for his land.

That the Great Northern railway will
be excused from making many of the
changes desired in the operation of its
lines within the state by the state rail-
way commission is the effect of de-
cision rendered by Judge Wilson R.
Gay, Of the superior court of King
county. After an inspection Of the lines
and the hearing of complaints, the rail-
road commission, last July, ordered
many changes made, asking for certain
additional trains, running water, electric
lights, telephones, and modern flush
toilets at some Of the stations. Many
Of these orders were excepted to by the
railroad, and writ Of review was obtained
from the superior court. Judge Gay
heard arguments in the case and, after
digesting the evidence, made the fol-
lowing ruling:
The court sustains the appeal OF the
railroad company as to the order OF the
commission affecting the towns Of Ed
monds. Leavenworth, Wilson Creek,
and all other towns wherein there is
requirement for the installation of mod
ern flush toilets. The petition Of the
relator is denied as to other orders of
the state railroad commission.
The orders of the commission that
will stand, according to the decision,
and must be put into effect as speedily
as possible, are as follows:
Running water at Ferndale, Sedro-
Woolley, Orient; telephones at Startup;
telephones and running water at Leav-
enworth; running water at Wilson Creek.
1t was the claim Of the Great Northern
railway, as urged before Judge Gay,
that it was obliged to furnish the public
with only the same class Of conveniences
that it was accustomed to at home, and
not with the conveniences in use by
the most favored classes of people.

"a ACRES IN ORCHARD
Everett Parties viii improve Big Tract of
Land Just North of Town

Capt. Mcfarland, who is associated
with J. B. Best, Dr. Cox and VIM. Hurl-
burt, all of Everett, closed deal with
the Peake Brothers for twenty-four
acres off the Adam Emig place, lying
in the Chumstick valley, the past week.
Capt Mcfarland is here now for the
purpose of having the entire place set
in the most approved commercial
apples, and has the greater part of the
trees now on the ground, and would,
had weather conditions permitted, set
the trees out this fall. This, however,
has likely been made impossible; in
which event the trees will be heeled
in until spring.
The varieties OF apples include Spitz-
enberg, Winesap, Rome Beauty, JON
athan, and Winter Banana. The loca-
ton of the land is ideal, with abundance
of water for irrigation.

LEG BROktN-SAvES A WRECK
Charles Deyo Crawis Hundred Yards and
Lines up Switch

Charles Deyo (may his tribe increase)
rear brakeman on the east-bound freight
Sunday night, placed himself in the
Carnegie medal class by an act of he
roism which saved the lives of many
people and prevented the Oriental
Limited from crashing into the freight
which was standing on the side track.
The freight going east had headed in
to the switch at Dryden. The freight
was somewhat behind time, and just
ahead of the Oriental Limited. Deyo
made a jump from the caboose. Miss
ing his footing, he was thrown violently
to the ground, breaking his leg, and his
lantern was hurled down the grade
many yards away. With rare presence
of mind. and in a fainting condition,
Deyo crawled and rolled 100 yards to
the switch, which he turned just before
the passenger train flashed by, and pre-
vented it telescoping the freight which
had gone into the sidetrack.
The wounded man was carried to
Wenatchee Monday morning, and later
taken to his home in Spokane.
Deyo is a hero and there is already
talk Of making an effort TO secure for
him a Carnegie medal for his heroism.

Valley and Northern

ley and Northern Railway Company, and
the board OF county commissioners have
been parties to triangular contention,

asserted there was shortage in its right
of-way. The county commissioners did
not enter prominently into the dispute.
Freytag and the railway company
agreed to refer the contention to board
OF arbitration, and abide by its decision.

company, S. c. Woldenberg by Mr..
Freytag, and these two selected Mix
Kinscherf as the third member. The

Fred Reeves OF Wenatchee, and Mr..
Freytag by L. J. Nelson Of Leavenworth,
as attorneys.
Monday morning the arbiters and at
torneys viewed the premises. After a
thorough investigation damages in the
sum of 500 were awarded Mr.. Freytag,
accepted by him, and the matter is now
closed incident.

LIBERIA THREAT NED
WITH DISRUPTION
Intervention by United States
May Be Necessary.

Washington, Feb. 13.-Earnest eff.
forts are being made by the admins
tration to secure the appropriation of
$4,000 for the expenses of a commits
sion to go to Liberia to make recon-
mendations as to what specific action
on the part of the government is de-
sirable that will most aptly render
effective relief to that republic under
the present critical circumstances.
The necessity for this already has
been set forth in letter which Pres
ident Roosevelt sent to congress-
three weeks ago transmitting a re-
port on the subject from Secretary
Root. Supplemental to this is com
munication received by Representa-
tive Edwin DENLY of the foreign af-
fairs committee from Assistant Sec
rotary of State O'Laughlin presenting
additional reasons why the appropria-
ton for the commissions work should
be made.
The state department is very anx-
1ous that the appropriation be made
promptly in order that the commission
may reach Liberia before the rainy
season starts in. The success of Lii
IBERIA in self-government would, the
letter argues, give hope and. courage,
while it's failure would bring discour-
agement to the entire black race. If
action be not taken there is no doubt
that Liberia will not be able to main
-
seem that the inhabitants ought to
have at least another trial, with some
direction from men developed in CIV
tlization, before being extinguished as
q nationality and placing upon their
race the opprobrium of being unfit to
govern themselves.
