PUMP WATER FROM CHELAN

take levels and run out a route for
a proposed pipe line from Lake Che
Ian to the fiat.
The plan as outlined by the promot-
ers of this proposition is to establish
an electric pumping plant somewhere
On Lake Chelan and convey the water
by pipe line to the fiat. To do this a
lift of $50 feet will have to be made,
but from this elevation water can be
put on approximately 2,000 acres of
land. The promoters offer to supply
water to this area for one-half of the
land, or they will buy the land out
right if satisfactory price can be
agreed upon, and it is now up to the
land owners to meet them on one or
the other of these propositions
The fiat with it's continuous ex-
panse of fine level fruit land and
good soil, has long been an attract
i've prospective field for irrigation
enterprise, and many schemes to sup
ply it with water at a possible cost
have been considered, but this is the
first that has seemed reasonably cer-
tain Of realization.

F.. w. HOFFMAN AND ASSOCIATES
PLANNING ON WATERING 1000
ACRES ON HOWARD FLAT
SOON.

That Howard Flat Will be put I'M
der irrigation soon now seems reason
ably certain, says the Chelan Leader.
Wenatchee men of means and with
much experience in irrigation enter
prises, have taken up the matter of
supplying water to this fine body of
land, and if they can reach a salts
factory agreement with the owners,
their proposed program will undoubt-
edly be carried ont. These men have
been quietly looking over the project
for some months past, and familiar
izing themselves with the topograph-
ical and geological condition to be en-
countered, but had not approached
the owners of the land on the fiat
until now, when they are convinced
their project is feasible one. The
first Of this week F. w. Hoffman, rep
resenting the parties interested in the
scheme, spent few days here inter-
viewing the fat settlers with regard
to the proposition. Having secured
encouraging assurances from the ma
jority of them he returned to We
natchee Tuseday, and will be here
again next week with an engineer to

TWO WEEKS IN CAMP

Mr.. and Mrs. w. r. Prowell and
family and Mr. and Mrs. W. T. Tolch
and family of this city, returned yes
terday from a two weeks camping
trip spent at Lake Wenatchee. They
report very pleasant time with good
success in fishing and with huge appe-
tites. Mr. Prowell stated this morn
ing that he considers Lake Wenat-
chez one. of the best camping places
in the state and hopes some time to
have a summer camp at that place.
He states that the Lamb-Dayis rail-
way has been completed some Is
miles out of Leavenworth but con-
structiOn work has been stopped
pending the settlement of right of
way suits Mr.. Prowell thinks that
this road is a subsidiary stop of the
Great Northern and that eventually
this road will be built to Lake We
natchee, will be electrified and that
the Great Northern will spend lots
of money exploiting Lake Wenatchee
as summer resort.

BEST PARADE Of
SEASON
GIVES WENATCHEE
CREDIT FOR HAVING THE BEST
LINE.

Seattle, Sept 3.-Two thousand
Wenatcheeites were in line in the
parade this forenoon. A squad of
so Seattle mounted police lead the
parade. This was followed by M.
Horan, the Apple King and the
band. Members of the commercial
club followed and 900 ladies of the

mobiles. Seven Scotch bagpipers
added to the interest Of the Wenat-
cheeites.
The parade was under the leader

The parade formed at Pioneer Place
at 10 o'clock sharp, proceeded up
First avenue to Pike street The pro-
cession went up Pike to Second and
marched south on that thoroughfare
to Yesler Way, thence to Third where
cars were taken to the grounds. The
parade reformed again at the main
gate, proceeded through the entrance
and around the grounds arriving at
the Washington state building short
ly before noon.
One of the special attractions was
a magnificent fruit car with girls
throwing apples into the crowd.
There were many banners in the pa
rade and cards advertising Wenat-
chez were thrown out along the
streets. Each one in the parade
wore badge with the slogan You'll
do better in Wenatchee" The cars
were all placarded with this slogan.
The Seattle people declared this
parade to be the best one of the sea-
son and the committee declared that
it excelled their most sanguine hopes
The days program will be given
in the Washington state building,
beginning at o'clock. Addresses of
welcome by Pres. ]. Es Chilberg and
Judge Thomas Burke. of Seattle,
with responses by DR.. w. A Steven

WENATCHEE MEN
IN EPHRATA
BOUGHT 40 ACRES FROM j. ID.
BEARD AND WILL WATER
LAND WITH PUMPS-PEACHES
ARE FINE THIS YEAR.

Ephrata, Sept. 3.-One of the most
important land sales ever reported in
Grant county was the sale by ]. D.
Reard of 480 acres for $4,000, or
800 an acre, to a Wenatchee syndi
cate, which expects to dig wells and
'rrigate the entire tract and cut it up
in five and ten acre tracts
The larger part OF this land ras
bought for $40 an acre this spring,
which shows how land values have in
creased with the thought of irrigation
'Fhe land adjoins the townsite of
Ephrata on the west and is perfectly
level Reard has 20 acres under ir-
rigation, which he waters from a we'll
80 feet deed. The fruit and vegetables
rs?sed on this land surpass the fa-
nous Wenatchee valley fruit. The
peaches raised in Ephrata this year
are the finest ever seen here and the
trees are loaded till they have 70 be

DE N M0NST RATE
FRUIT CULTURE
0. NJ. OLSON, SUPT. OF FARMERS
INSTITUTE OF PULLMAN COL
LEGE WILL ARRANGE EXHIBIT
ON STEAMER YAKIMA.

o. NJ. Olson, superintendent of the
farmers institute of the Pullman col
lege and experiment stations, was in
the city today for the purpose of COM
pleting arrangements with Captain
McDermott for putting on of an ex
hibit for demopstration purposes on
the steamer Yakima, recently pur-
chased by the open river commission.
1t has been the plan in the past sew
eral years for the Pullman college to
run demonstration trains each season,
demonstrating to the growers the cul-
ture of the products peculiar to each
locality. Last spring the college ran
a train on the west side of the state,
demonstrating dairying, stock and
vegetable growing. In the Palouse
country a train was run demOnstrat-
ing cereal products, and it is the plan
of Mr.. Olson to equip the boat for
demonstrating the culture, pruning,
spraying and general fruit culture.
The steamer Yakima will not be in
commission for active work until the
low stage of the river and prior to
that time is thought that this dem
onstration can be made with the boat.
The plan would be to make stops at
all stations along the Columbia river
as far as possible, taking in Entiat,
Orondo, Brays, Chelan Falls, Pater-
os, Brewster, Bridgeport and possibly
other places, where meetings can be
had with the various growers along
the river. Captain McDermott is in
Seattle today and Mr. Olson will have
a meeting with him tomorrow, when
final arrangements will be made for
this demonstration.

INSTRUCTED To DEVELOP
CHE[AN FALLS POWER
Great Northern Engineer Herzog, Now
in Charge of Company Plant in Tum-
water Canyon, Will Commence Work
in the Near Future at Chelan Falls.

From reliable sources it is stated
that Engineer HerzOg, who has charge
of the big Great Northern electric
plant in TumWater canyon, has been
instructed to proceed at once to Che
Ian Falls to commence the develop
ment of the power at that place. This
is understood to mean that the Great
Northern has in contemplation the
electrification of the road which is to
be built between Brewster and Oro-
vile. 1t has been known for some
months that the head officials of the
Great Northern are very well satisfied
with the success of the electrification
of the road on the summit of the Cas-
cades and it has been positively stated
that the Hill line will eventually cleo
trify the road between Wenatchee and
Gold Bar and no great surprise has
been occasioned by the announcement
that the immense power at Chelan
Falls will be developed for use on the
Brewster-Orovillel line. Engineers also
state that it is only a question of time
when the entire system between Spo-
kane and Gold Bar will be operated
by electric power
Chelan Falls is considered as pos
sessing possibilities for one of the
greatest power plants in the west. 1t
is estimated that fully 10000 horse
power can be developed at that place.
The estimates for the plant at Lea
venwOrth calls for one ami one-half
million dollars expenditure, but it is
supposed that the plant cost more
than the estimate. The experience OF
the installation of the plant at the
Tumwater canyon will prove of value
to Engineer Herzog in the work at
Chelan Falls Considerable of the
machinery installed at Tumwater has
proven too small and it is safe to say
that no mistake of this character will
happen at Chelan Falls. The work on
the Tumwater plant occupied fully
two years and it is likely that by use
of the greatest possible speed the Che
Ian plant can not be made ready for
use in a shorter time.
From the even amount of water
flowing over the falls in the Chelan
gorge, engineers place great faith in
the Chelan Falls proposition. Water
at all times of the year remains prac-
tically the same, while in the Tum-
water canyon there is great varia-
ton The Chelan Falls power was ac-
quired by the Great Northern some
two years ago and has been held by
a holding company composed of F. Fl.
Brownell and J. T. McChesney, both
of Everett.

beach and logs in the water furnish
endless amusement to the swimmers.
All kinds of swimming sports are in

keenest needs of the community is
a bath place such as has been now
located.

Skagen, Denmark, Sept. 3.-A
newspaper correspondent who went
on board the Hans Egede from the
pilot steamer off here, was able to OBJ
tain a few words with Dr. Cook The
explorer ascribed his success to the
fact that he made use of old meth
DDS, namely eskimos and dogs and
that he lived like an Eskimo himself.
The doctor gave a vivid sketch of
the expedition in which he said:
Going northward 1 struck first a
westerly course from Greenland, then
moved northward. | arrived at the
pole April 81, 1908, as already an
Nnouncei, accompanied only by two
Eskimos. We reached the pole at z
o'clock in the morning. I took daily
observations for a whole fortnight be-
fore arriving at the pole.
"Returning, we were forced to take
a more westerly route and the first
ten days took observations daily and
recorded them. l was unable to
measure the depth of the sea as had
not the necessary instruments.
1.-The lowest temperature recorded
was SO degrees centigrade below
zero" (Eighty-three degrees cent?
grade below zero is equal to III de-
grees below zero Fahrenheit)
King Frederick of Denmark has
intimatei his desire to receive DR..
Cook tomorrow morning and has ar
ranged to entertain him at luncheon.
A municipal banquet to the explorer
In the town hall tomorrow night is
announced. Four hundred are in
vited. From this time on dinners,
receptions and banquets will be in
cessant. Hundreds of telegrams from
America and all parts of the world
were received at the American lega-
tion for the explorer. A certain
amount of skepticism is noticeable
today among Scandinavian Arctic ex-
plorers and even Americans here ad-
nit there is some doubt of Cook s
feat, pending a full statement from
the explorer himself.
