HIS AFFINITY FADED
AWAY
w. n. CROMWELL OF LEAVEN-
WORTH ASKS POLICE TO FIND
LAURA MAY BALL WHO CAME
TO CITY TO MARRY HIM.

w. N. Cromwell of Leavenworth
is searching the city today to. find
Laura May Ball of Lamar, Oklaho-
ma, who came with him to the city
early this morning to get married
and registered at the Olympia hotel
but who disappeared from the hotel
when the would-be groom went out
to get license. The police were
notified and the young man is
searching the streets for another
vision of the affinity with whom he
had been corresponding for four
months but had never seen before
the early dawn this morning.
Mr.. Cromwell is a son of Chas.
Cromwell of Leavenworth, and lives
about ten miles west OF Leavenworth
on a ranch. He became acquainted
with the lady, he says. through the
]. w. Slosser's Correspondence Club
Of Gray's Lake, Illinois, and he met
her early this morning in Leaven-
worth on her arrival from her Okla
homa home. They came to Wenat-
chez and while he was finding out
about procuring license the fairy
vanished. Although he says she did
not get any of his money he wants
to see her to find out why she did
not like him.
The police gave him the consoling
information that he was lucky be-
cause she was gone, but he still
wants to know why.

FERT|[lA-
TON BY BEES
j. A. WOMAN OF SPOKANE SAYS
1T is THE ONLY RELIABLE
METHOD OF GETTING BETTER
FRUIT.

Speaking last night in the Com
mercial Club auditorium upon the re-
lation of bee culture to good fruit
growing, j. A. Woman, assistant
cashier of the Old National bank of
Spokane and an authority on bee Gull
ture, pointed out the necessity of
keeping bees. Among the important
points discussed the speaker empha-
sized the role played by the honey
bee in carrying the pollen from one
apple tree to another so that cross
fertilization results. Mr.. Yeoman
said in part:
"Botanists inform us that If it
were not for the cross fertilization
brought about by the bees over 100,-
900 plants would be extinct. Many
varieties of pears are self sterile. I'm
perfect apples often result in fruit
trees fro mthe fact that the trees
are not self pollenizers. Windfalls
occur where there is not cross fer
til 'zation because the fruit does not
set the same as is the case where
pollen has been brought from an
other tree.
Wind may blow the pollen about
but bees are the only sure carriers of
fertilizing dust. Four or five hives
of bees have been estimated as the
proper number for every hundred
trees, but so many are not needed
in Wenatchee on account of the long
days and the dry air.
Spraying for codling moth before
the petals fall will kill the bees. I
believe that scientists are coming to
recognize that it is just as effective
for destroying the moth to fill the
calyx with the spray after the petals
have fallen as it is before.
Bees gather only one kind of pol
len on each trip. II bee starts to
gather it from apple blossoms only
apple blossoms will be visited on that
trip. BY judicious planting of va
rieties of apple trees both the guam
tity and the quality of the fruit may
be bettered."
At the close of the lecture w. T.
Clark told OF his experience in plant
ing too large an orchard of one varie-
ty. Mr.. Clark has put a Jonathan
graft in every Spitzenberg apple tree
to aid in pollenizing but stated that
he recognized the assistance which
the bees render.

AUTO
CLUB

A number of local auto owners
met this morning and effected a
temporary organization by the cleo
ton of C. G. Cooper, president, and
o. J. Mooney, secretary. A general
meeting has been called for next
Wednesday evening at the CONNER
cial club rooms at which time it is
expected that auto owners from
Leavenworth to Malaga will be
present The primary object of the
meeting is to work up a sentiment
for better roads. As an indication
of the feeling of the auto owners it
is only necessary to say that it was
the general sentiment at the meet
ing that very liberal contributions
would be made by the auto owners
themselves for improving the roads
and it is thought possible that with
the auto club as basis that a cam
paign of education can be started
which will result in a general move
ment throughout the county to fix
up the roads. Invitations have been
sent out to all owners of autos for
the meeting to be held next We'd
nesday night.

ANOTHER RAILROAD SUR
VEY ON THE EAST SIDE
Great Northern Has Party of Twelve
Men Under Engineer Burnley Up the
River---Battle Royal Promised for
Territory Along Columbia River

That the question of railroad up
the Columbia river from Wenatchee
north continues to engage the atten-
tion of both the North Coast and the
Great Northern is evident by the fact
that surveyors are still in the field.
At the present time one party of sur
veyors of the Great Northern is work
ing northward from Wenatchee on
the east side. In this party there are
IL men under Engineer Burkley.
This makes the third survey on the
Douglas county side to be made with
in the past six months. There seems
to be an inclination on the part of
the Great Northern to change the
proposed route from the west side to
the east side of the Columbia river
Whether or not the tendency to force
the Great Northern to furnish another
roadway on the west side of the river

GREAT FUTURE FOR
0KAN0GAN

'I was agreeably surprised at the
extent and possibilities of the Okla
nogan," said Ira D. Edwards this
morning, after spending several days
touring the Okanogan in an auto.
Roughly estimating between We
natchee and Oroville, including the
Methow and Okanogan valleys, there
are some 10000 to 100000 acres
of land which will be watered and
brought under reclamation. Every
place we went there was evidences
of activity. A great number Of
smaller irrigation projects were un-
der way and several large ones are
to be commenced soon. The Okano-
gan was an agreeable surprise to me
and 1t is no wonder to me that the
wenatchee capital and enterprise is
being so strongly interested in the
upper country. Everywhere we went
we ran across Wenatchee people. The
hotels are crowded and there is great
activity all through the country"

Edwards, c. C. Griggs, j. Griggs.

COUNTY To HAVE
SIXTEEN DELEGATES

Chelan County will be entitled to
16 delegates to the republican state
convention, which meets at Tacoma
August 3, for the purpose of nomi-
mating five supreme court judges
which are to be elected in November.
The basis of representation decided
upon at the meeting of the state cen
trail committee held in Seattle yes
terday was on the vote for Gov. s.
j. Cosgrove, allowing four delegates
for each county and one for each
$50 votes or major fraction there
of. This makes convention of
about 700 delegates. In Chelan
county Cosgrove received 1,776
votes, emitting the county to 16 del
egates.
The meeting in Seattle yesterday
was generally attended and Thomas
H. Bollman, of Cashmere, county
committeeman of Chelan county, was
present.
A resolution indorsing the nation
al administration and President Taft
was unanimously adopted, but the
progressive" resolution favoring
restoration of the direct primary
system to nomination of supreme
court judges was laid on the table
with only two dissenting votes.
The meeting of the committee
terminated with some old-fashionej,
old-line republican speeches, mostly
against ''isms" and nearly all of a
standpat character. 1t was not a
progressive" meeting, neither did
the Poindexter men get much con-
ISOLATION therefrom except from the
moral advantage. of having what they
call machine republicans" commit
ted against the progressive move
ment.
