F. E. Kingsbury, of Malaga, is in
the city today and he reports a great
deal of damage done to the county
road between Wenatchee and Mala-
ga. All day yesterday the residents
were at work on the roads and also
on the various irrigation bitches. The
Lockwood ditch was carrying great
volumes of water and the ditch was
damaked in a great many places. Mr..
Kingsbury also reports great damage
done to the high line ditch in East
Wenatchee. From his place he could
see where great breaks had occurred
and it will take a great deal of re-
pair work before the ditch can be
operated.
S. Slayback, master carpenter of
the Spokane division of the Great
Northern, is in the city today. He
came in yesterday to assist in clear
ing away the Monitor slide and ex-
poets to leave again this evening for
Spokane.
Some of the windows on Wenatchee
avenue are being decorated with the
colors of the competing teams of the
Commercial club. The contest is be-
ginning to grow exciting and by to.
morrow it is thought that many more
windows will be decorated with the
colors of the opposing sides.

Mrs. H. F. Boyce received severe
injuries from a spill on the corner
of B and Palouse streets last night.
She and her son were walking to
the choir concert at the Presbyterian
church. They were overtaken by F.
P. Dull and invited to ride in his rig.
At the corner of B and Palouse
streets the floods had washed out
the roadway so badly that in the
darkness Mr.. Dull was unable to
avoid a dangerous place. An upset
was the result. Mrs. Boyce received
a fracture on one leg and other Sc
we're injuries. She was taken to the
home of F. S. Hull and cared for
through the night. DR.. Haskell was
called and had a bad time in the mud
at the same place. Later DR.. Blake
was called in and he succeeded in
getting through Wenatchee's streets
on horseback very well.
Later in the evening lantern was
sent for and placed over the ditch

EAGLES HAVE BIG
JIAkS
SMOKER AT EAGLE HALL LAST
NIGHT WITH CLASSY ATHLET.
&c EVENTS - EAGLES HAVE
EVENING OF ENJOYMENT.

The Eagles smoker last night was
one of the events of the season.
There is something doing every week
at the Eagle hall, but the entertain
ment last night, partly through the
efforts of the committee and partly
through the good fellowship that the
order is famous for, was one of the
most enjoyable that has occurred in
Wenatchee this winter.
All through the morning the talk
on the street was about the athletic
work of the evening and other fea-
lures of the program. G. L. Green,
Theo Weaver and w. F. Schier are
| the members of the committee which
accredited itself so well last night.
Rea Hardness of the Gem theatre
provided the musical part of the en-
tertainment, and the audience res
| pended to his numbers with the ap-
plause that he always gets.
By way of starting the program
there was preliminary bout be-
tween Sam Campbell and "Short
Arm" Johnson. 1t was one of the
events in which no blood was spilled
and was put on to heighten the mer-
riment of the occasion.
A wrestling exhibition followed
| between Buck Mason and Fl. Sans,
consisting of two five minute goes.
After that Dude Brown, of Moni-
tor, and Clarence Montgomery went
on the mat for five rounds, and did
some of the classy work of the eve
| ming.
Virgil Wine and Frank Padoshek
did some good work on the mat and
then the big event of the evening
was pulled off between Padoshek and
Thomas, of Mukilteo. Thomas is the
classy amateur who has been here
for some time setting the pace for
others to follow. He has class and
lots of it, and the local boys have
welcomed him into Wenatchee ath-
letic circles. They were delighted
with the showing made by Padoshek
in the match and are predicting that
he will get a record. There was no
| fall.
Another event lacking in serious
import followed between Jack John
son and Stanley Ketchel. The gen.
tleman from Texas threw up the
sponge. There was some doubt about
the identity of the two fighters and
some there were who called FAKE"
Three rounds followed between
Jesse Jones and Adam Ritz with Sam
Campbell as referee. Sam had his
usual troubles and had to challenge
Ritz himself.
They fought the next go and fin
ished the first round with honors
even. In the second round Camp
bell came near being the champion.
but he lost again in the third. Ritz
caught him below the belt when he
was going the other way. The referee
did not see the blow and the cham
pionship was given to the Gem the
atre.
The evening finished with refresh
ments and broke up in a spirit of
good will.

Secretary Objected TO Being Sold, But
Finally Succumbed and Was
Dragged Into Trans
ferring Cage.


New York.-The lion Secretary. a
Cape buffalo and two bisons of the
Central park menagerie were shipped
TO William Bartels of Newark recent
~, for consideration, which included
two eelands. two tapirs and pair of
ostriches.
1t was one of the busiest afternoons
Headkeeper Snyder and his assistants
ever put in, but finally all the animals.
In their respective shipping cages,
were loaded on wagons and carted
away.
everything went smoothly until the
attempt was made to inveigle Score
tary, who was born in the lion house
about seven years ago, into his ship
ping cage. Secretary did not want to
go, and It took an hour and a quarter
OF pushing. pulling and fighting TO
overcome the spirit of one Of the
meanest lions in the menagerie.
With all the doors and windows
barred, and hundreds of persons sur
rounding the lion house. the work OF
getting Secretary from his cage was
begun. Rose and Bismarck, the mother
and father OF Secretary In adjoining
cages, dashed themselves into a fury
while their big offspsing was hurting
himself against the bars OF his cage
In an endeavor to get at the keepers.
The lion did not care to march into
the trap. He would put his head In
the opei- door OF the shifting cage,
snuff once or twice, and with a great
roar would lurch against the bars and
rush to the rear Of his cage.
After half an hour of prodding had
shown that the animal could not be
transferred that way into the cage.
Bill Snyder decided to try a moose.
BY this time the lion had worn itself
out, and was lying in a corner as do.
Gle as cat.
The moose was slipped over Secre-
tary's head, and then, while three
men pulled and three men pushed. and
Bill did the bossing, in went the
lion, like lump of lead, to the fur
thermost part of the transferring cage.
The beast was so exhausted it could
NOT move.
This lion, named Secretary because
he seemed to have an interest in
everything TRANSPORTING in every other
cage in the lion house, has been the
first always to announce the daily ra-
tons and the last to subside when
anything unusual had happened to
mar the serenity of his surroundings.
Bill" said he was sorry to part with
him, but there would soon have to be
some room made for the three cubs.
He weighs in the neighborhood of 400
pounds, and was considered one of the
best specimens in the Central park col,
lection. His value is said to be about

The two eelands were received at
the zoo earlier In the afternoon. They
are the only ones in the Central park
collection. In the last ten days two of
these animals have been received by

stock by an unlicensed person,
whether the original owner or an
agent. Shipments of uninspected
stock into the state are prohibited,
the law requiring that all such ship

upon the range, and In winter may be-
brought up near the feed house and

in England, and is practically the only
system employed, says writer In

BIG DEMAND FOR DAIRY COWS.
Dairymen Report II impossible to
Purchase First Class Animal For
Less Than $50 Per Mead.

(By ]. E. PAYNE. Colorado Agricultural
College.)
The great demand for dairy prod
ucts has caused the price of good dairy
cows to be very high. Reports from
associations of dairymen show that it
is impossible to buy flrst-class dairy
cows at even $50 head. With such
a demand for cows IN old dairy dis
tricts. there will be few good cows
moved into new dairy territory. So,
the only way new districts can be
supplied must be by breeding up the
common stock by the use of good dairy
bred bulls.
If good dairy cows could be sold
for sac to $5e, at least 5000 could be
sold in Colorado within the next year.
But the prices as above quoted are
prohibitive. So, only the culls from
the old dairy districts are likely to be
sent here for sale.
When bringing cows into the coun-
try, tuberculosis and other diseases
may also be introduced The cows
now in Colorado, especially the range
cows, are free from tuberculosis. If
good dairy bred bulls are mated with
selected range cows, the heifers OF
the first cross will be good mich cows.
Future crosses win still further i'm
prove the dairy herd, IL accompanied
by careful selection
II this plan is carried out for few
generations OF cattle. Colorado can
not only produce all the dairy cows
needed, but supply can be sent to
the eastern cities.
With cheap feed which Ia available,
the raising of dairy cows may become
profitable here.
Colorado should be able TO success
fully compete with Connecticut and
other eastern states. where it costs
$50 to $50 to raise dairy heifer, and
feed her until she is two years old

SOIL FERTILITY is WANING
United States Agricultural Expert
Predicts Exhaustion of Farm Land
of Western Prairies.

The agricultural department at
Washington is concerned about the ex-
haustion of the soil of the United
States. On the prairies of the wess
fertility is beginning to wane. In
many of the older communities fertil-
ity has been reduced below the point
of profitable production. How to store
and maintain productivity of soil is 4
most important phase of the conserva-
ton problem.
These observations are set forth I'm
a farmers bulletin prepared by w. J.
Spillman, agriculturist In charge OF
the office of farm management OF the
agricultural department Mr.. Spillman
says that In order that the prairie
country nay not follow the descent
of the east and south IL is necessary
that intelligent and vigorous effort be
made TO farm correctly.
Renting of land on short leases for
the purpose of growing grain for the
market is one of the surest means of;
reducing the productive power of the
soil. Well managed pastures and ra-
tional systems of crop rotation are nee
essary to the development of perma-
nent systems of profitable farming.
Land owners. must realize this, and
must take steps to improve renting
methods by stocking their farms with
a full complement of domestic animals,
In case the renter is not able to do
this for himself. and by giving longer
leases whereby the renter may reap
the reward of intelligent management,
In view of the soil waste that hasa
occurred, MIR. Spfllman asserts, IL Is.
not surprising that values of farm
products have risen TO marked de-
gree in the last few years.

Green Recommended.

Potato bugs are at work They are

Paris green is the most highly recon
mended. 1t may be used as a spray
with sprinkler, mixed with air slakedI
lime, -four. or fine, dry road dust, siftedl
with dew or rain. In any form of api
plication at least one pound of Paris
green should be used per acre, but
when the plants are large a greater
amount may be required. The Minne1
sofa Experiment station prefers to usei
with water and then stirred I'm thee
larger volume OF water to be used <ins
a sprayer. Very good results, however,
have been obtained by the use of ID
common sprinkler Where the crop iA
large and 1t Is possible to procure one
a power sprayer is advised and rel
garded as almost indispensable. Milo
of hme, made by shaking two pounds
of stone lime In water to each pound
of Paris green, should be carefully
strained into the poisonous mixture to-
prevent burning of the plants. Arsenl
ate of lead may be used as potato
bug poison, but II is more expensive
than Paris green. Paris green may
be mixed with bordeaux mixture, when
the mixture is used as disease de-
stroyer. In this case no additional
lime need be added.

need as large a size Of grit as hens
