MILLER SOLD HIS
APPLES
Council Bluffs Authorities
Sought to Stop Him
but Failed.

DR.. S. T. Miller arrived home yes
terday from seven weeks trip in
the East. He took back with him a
carload of Wenatchee apples and
met with good success in disposing
of them. On his arrival at Council
Bluffs, he proceeded to sell these
apples out at retail. The market
had been flooded with inferior Mis-
souri, grown apples and the commits
sion men at that place sought TO
hamper DR.. Miller's efforts in selling
his apples, by having the officers
impose a $500 per day license for
peddling. He paid the license for
two days and then sought an attor-
ney. He was told that this license
could not be legally collected and
on the third day he refused to pay.
The officials did not seek to carry
the matter further and DR.. Miller
was allowed to dispose of his apples
without any further hindrance.
DR.. Miller spent some time In
Kansas City, taking a post graduate
course in veterinary work and then
spent few days in Texas. He re-
turned home very we'll pleased with
his trip east but glad to get back
to Wenatchee. He states that he
did better in marketing his apples
in the east than he could have done
here.

GOOD ROADS DELE.
GATES HOME
Are Pleased at Securing
Next Convention for
This City.

"The Wenatchee Commercial club
delegates to the good roads meeting
at Walla Walla stood solidly with
the adherents of the state aid road
law and went down to defeat with
the 81 favoring the law as against
1913 against it,
This is the statement that DR.. D.
w. King made, who with the other
delegates, DR.. Stevenson, E. NJ
Upper and E. M. Gillette, returned
this morning from Walla Walla. Be-
sides the four men from this city the
Douglas county delegates also re-
turned, consisting of Messrs. Usher,
Shields, Cobb and Funderburg.
''Our principal opponent for the
honor of entertaining the next state
good roads convention was Tacoma,
but we won out easily and had good
friends in the Spokane. Douglas, Lin
coin, Stevens and other eastern
Washington county delegations.
These people stayed by us Loyalty
and We certainly appreciated their
efforts
'Walia Wal1a IS thoroughly
against the state aid road plan, and
it was as q result Of the overwhelnl-
ing vote Of that section that a recon-
|mendatiOn was passed asking for a
repeal Of the present law. There
were fully 100 farmers of the Walla
Walla section in the contest and
they put in enough votes to pass the
repeal. [ am satisfied that there
were sufficient regular delegates in
the convention favoring the law to
carry it, but We could not do so with
the large vote Of Walla Walla.
CAS- a whole the convention was
ia decided success and we are to be
congratulated on securing the next
convention. l am satisfied that we
can entertain them in royal style.S'

Population of the Unitde States Elk.
pected to Surpass This Mark.

Washington, Dec. 3.-The popula-
tion S the United States as revealed
by the 18th census is expected to be
announced by the census bureau on
December 10.
Counting Arizona and New Mexico
as states the totals for % out of the
As states already have been an
nounced. The grand total for IS of
these states is 60,037,759, which is
@ gain of between 81 and % per
cent over the same states in 1900.
At this rate of increase the total
population of the country should be
about 100000. The most strik-
ing development of the census so
far as shown is the relative growth
of cities and industrial centers, as
compared with the farming regions.
The eastern states have more than
held their own while the states of
the middle west have fallen off.

BAD ACCIDENT
IN RAILWAY
YARDS
Leg Of Brakeman Amputat
ed When Coupling Cars
on Freight Train.

Morris S. Smith, a brakeman on
an extra eastbound freight, No. 2s,
is lying at the Wenatchee General
hospital in serious condition as the
result of an amputation of his left
leg.
Smiths train was getting ready to
depart, thirty-six cars being in the
string. The unfortunate brakeman
was connecting up the air couplings
on the last freight car to the ca
boose. Suddenly, and without ex-
PLANTATION at this time. the train
backed up. Smith fell beneath the
wheels, which ran over his left knee,
almost entirely separating the lower
portion of the limb. This happened
at the first joint in the main track
on the north side of the Orondo
crossing.
The shock and loss of blood,
though terrible, were borne by the
plucky fellow with fortitude. An
ambulance came post haste and took
him to the hospital. DR.. Culp, the
local surgeon of the Great Northern
railway, was called. The operation
was delayed for an hour or SO after
the arrival at the hospital, waiting
for the patient to recover somewhat
from the shock.
Anybody in the railroad service
has to make up his mind that he
will get something of this kind
sooner or later" calmly remarked
Smith while he was lying on the
ground waiting for the ambulance to
come.
BE careful there" cautioned the
suffering man as his fellow train
men were helping to lift him onto
the cot. Remember, I've got a leg
dragging there
L. H. Smith is the name Of the
brakeman as Agent Piper got it. He
was told that the residence of Smith
is in Hillyard, where he has a wife.
1t was requested by Smith that she
be not notified until after the opera
ton in order that it might be known
what are his chances.
To DR.. Culp Smith said his only
relatives are a father and brother.
The name of the latter is II. E. Smith
who is night yardmaster of the Hook
ing Valley railroad at Columbus, o.
The doctor also understood that his
patients residence is at Leaven-
worth.
Smith is a powerfully built man
who appears to be about 33 years
of age. DR.. Culp was assisted in per-
forming the amputation by DR.. Cong
don and DR.. Haskell. They are Of
the opinion that the man has only
an even chance for recovery. The
shock and the great loss of blood are
the greatest cause Of fear to the
physicians.
The operation was successful. A
stump five or six inches in length is
all now left of the strong limb
which the brakeman used SO vigor-
ously this morning.

STEVENSON JOBS
TACOMA
Switched Cards on Sound
Boosters for 1911 Con-
vention.

c. E. Funderburg, who was one
of the Douglas county delegates to
the State Good Roads convention
in Walla Walla, says that Walla
Walla made an attempt at apple
decorations in the windows Of the
business houses, but to one accus-
toned to the red apple of the We
natchee valley, the decorations were
far from being of high class.
Mr.. Funderburg met the family
of Eugene Lorton, who was a dele
gate to the State Press Association
in this city during the past summer,
and who was in receipt of box of
Jonathan apples from Secretary Co.
burn. The Lorton family were in
OBSTACLES over the big red apples.
Mr.. Funderburg also states that
Tacoma, which was candidate for
the honor of entertaining the 1911
State Goods Association, tried to
initiate the card being used by the
Wenatchee and Douglas county del
egates advertising Wenatchee as
the place for 1911 meet The cards
were very similar and an enthusiast
tic Tacoma booster had a bunch of
Tacoma cards for circulation. He
placed his bunch on the hotel desk
for a few moments and when he
came back picked them up and COM
menced a general distribution. DR..
Stevenson, while the man was gone,
had substituted a bunch of Wenat-
chez cards and the man spent the
afternoon boosting Wenatchee for
the 1911 meetin.

M'G|NN|S ON CHI
CAG0 SHOW
Made Up His Mind Chicago
Was Too Big to Be Ben
eficial to West.

II see that you people have got
on to Chicago" said David R. Nc
Ginnis today to the Daily World. Il
was satisfied that an apple show in
Chicago would not be the attraction
that was anticipated. Chicago is in
tensely selfish. They look upon the
National Apple Show as as adver-
Using scheme, pure and simple, and
am not surprised that it did not
create the interest in the Windy City
that was expected.
"The only way that the Chicago
papers could be induced to say any
thing about the show would be to
spend large sums with them for
general advertising. l had Chicago
sized up right last spring in this re-
spect. l spent sometime there and
was satisfied that the city was too
big for an apple show. Were the
show located in the Twin Cities, Gin
cinnati or some of the smaller of the
large cities in the central west, it
would create great deal more in
terest than in the big city.
81 was surprised yesterday in
reading the Daily World, to read the
story regarding the Chicago show.
I did not suppose that you people
were aware of the selfishness of the
big city. Your idea conceded ex-
actly with what / had expected.
management will make a mistake
in holding the show next year in
either Boston or Philadelphia.
Those cities are too large. 1t must
be taken to a smaller one"

STATE POPULATION
DOUBLED
Washington Passes Million
\ Mark-Tncrease Over
100 Per Cent.

Washington, Dec. 3.-The an
n0uncement which IS to be made
next week Of The census count of the
state Of Washington will show, &C.
c3rding to the predictions made TO-
day by Director Durand, that there
are more than 100000 persons
claiming this state as their present
permanent home.
May Rum Higher.
Just how far above this number
the figures will run is not known.
Mr.. Durand's statement is to the
cffct that the increase in population
IN the state during the last ten years
has been more than 100 per cent,
aui that, with the exception OF
Oklahoma. its growth will exceed
that Of any other state in the Union.
Was 100000 in 1900.
The population of Washington in
1900 was approximately 100000, and
from this it may be seen that Mr..
Durand's prediction of a population
of 100000 is stated in round num-
bers, taking it in connection with his
declaration that the increase has
amounted TO more than 100 per cent.
Increase is General.
That the growth of the state has
been general, and not confined to the
cities of any particular section of the
state, is established by Mr.. Durand' s
further statement that in every city
which showed a population of 5000
or more in 1900, the increase has
amounted to 10 Oper cent, and in
many instances the increase has been
Wch higher.
Ut is the present plan to announce
the population of all Washington
cities Within the next few days.

WORK ON G,N \.
LINE EARLY NEXT Spring
W. A. Snyder Says Last Work the Oroville Pateros
Grade Was Finished Today Contractors Leaving
Equipment With Expectation of Commencing Work
on the Wenatchee Branch in February.

W. A. Snyder, representing the
G. & o. Nursery company, with
headquarters in Okanogan, Okano-
gan county, came down on the boat
yesterday. He stated to the Daily
World today that the last portion
of the grading on the Oroville- Pa
teros branch line would be complet-
ed at Brewster today. This is the
last stretch.
The contractors are leaving all
the big grading machinery in Okla
hogan. None Of it is being hauled
out and Mr.. Snyder states that the
contractors express themselves that
the grading equipment will no doubt
be used this season on the line from
Pateros to Wenatchee. Mr.. Snyder
states that from what he can gather,
the contractors believe they will be
instructed to commence work about
February first on the extension of
the line. With the exception of
that used by the subcontractors on
the upper end near Oroville, all
81 DUNG equipment IDS U0eu leiL
just where it was used. From all
indications it is the purpose of the
railroad company to commence lay
ing track on the grade just COM
pleted in the early spring, and while
the track laying is under progress
in the Okanogan, grading will be
commenced on the line down the
river.
A Large Area to Fruit.
Mr.. Snyder states that the orders
for fruit trees beat all expectations.
Besides the hundreds of small tracts
which they have planted to trees,
there are a lot of large projects
which will require thousands OF
trees.
1t is significant fact that a num-
Der of the contractors On the Pa
teros-Oroville line have purchased
land along the railroad line and ex-
pect to develop their holdings dur
ing the coming season.
