By shipping fruit to great centers
like Chicago, New York and Boston
exclusively to be again distributed
from there to smaller cities, the
western grower ultimately has to pay
the cost of distribution. BY making
direct shipments to smaller cities a
great saving can be made in trans
portation charges and in the cost of
handling.
Every consideration points to the
advisability of encouraging the open
ing of new markets everywhere. 1t
is poor policy and very shortsighted
to discourage such efforts. Expert
ence with soft fruits this summer
has conclusively shown that where
the supply exceeds the demand the
grower is forced to accept ruinous
price for his fruit. New and grow
ing markets, coupled with a high
standard of product spells economic
prosperity and independence for the
western fruit grower.

Considering the fact that it was
opening day at the high school and
that many of the boys are not here

practice after school yesterday. Pre-
liminary work was gone through in
order to loosen up the kinks, and
the boys left the field tired, but not
overworked, passing, handling and

holding and running being the chief
features of the work, under the di-
rections of Coach Sievers. Some
interesting incidents occurred during
the practice of falling on the ball.
The squad was divided into groups
of two and both would dive for the
ball at once. Sometimes the ball
would evade their best efforts and
away they would scramble on hands
and knees, each determined to lay
his hands on the coveted pigskin be-
fore his opponent.

THE ISSUE STATED.

AS we look back over the corpor-
ate aggressiveness of the past thir-
teen years, a period in which the i'm
portance of the dollar has outgrown
the Importance of the man, we
plainly see how far the ship of state
has drifted from her mornings. We
all have felt something was wrong,
but it took Col. Roosevelt's .aggres-
sive stand for a square deal to show
us what was wrong.
The issue is really the life of the
republican party. Standpatism, like
Bourbonism, would have us stand
still while corporation greed plum
ders us right and left. Brilliant as
republican traditions and memories
are, and dear as they are to most
of the people. they alone will not
save the party from disaster and
defeat if the voters supinely permit
corporate greed to occupy the high
est seats in the temple. The veal
of the common people is the veal
and welfare of the nation. Aggre-
gated millions of watered stocks
profiting by reason of special legis-
lation in its behalf does not argue
strongly for the perpetuity of the
party Record.

ENCOURAGE NEW MARKETS.

1t would seem that western fruit
growers should be deeply interested
in opening up new markets where
ever the opportunity offers. There
should be a wider market, both in
this country and in foreign coun-
tries. Each year in the many fruit
districts of the west the output will
be greater by reason of thousands of
acres which come into bearing and
new markets must be found for this
increased product.
There are hundreds of cities whose
population ranges from 10000 to
100000. Each of these cities should

THE MAYORALITY OF WENAT
CHEZ.

The time has arrived in the civic
life of Wenatchee when the problem
of efficient city administration is a
serious one. The tax upon the time
of the man who accepts the mayor
atty Office with the purpose of serv-
ing the best interests of the munich
pality is enormous. If a man is act
lively engaged in business, it is diff
cult to find time to give proper study
to municipal problems as they arise
from time to time Since the mayor
and councilmen serve without COM
pensation, an acceptance of these po-
sitions should carry with them only
a disposition to sacrifice private in
terests for the public good.
Under existing conditions with
the municipal corporation expanding
thousands of dollars annually, it is
time for the citizenship of Wenat-
chez to lose sight of partisanship,
to checkmate any possibility of a
contest for the mayorality and by
petition select some man who has a
private competence sufficient to JUS
in,
and request him from a sense of pub
lie duty to accept it, If a man will
honestly administer the affairs of
this municipality there can be no in
ducement other than public spirit to
cause him to accept the mayoralty.
The contest over the mayoralty at
the last election was most unfortun-
ate and was entirely uncalled for. 1t
has resulted in causing men who
possess the qualifications to properly
administer the business of the mu-
nicipality to refuse to serve in this
position. 1t is now time that the
sober sense of the community re-
assert itself and bring good judg-
ment to bear on this perplexing ques-
ton. There are a number of men
who are amply qualified to fill the
mayoralty chair creditably and one
of these should be drafted for this
position.
