There Is an old story OF a monk
who would have nothing to do with
stranger who stopped at his cell,
because the fellow blew on his hands
to warm them and into his teacup to
cool the beverage. Away with
thee!" exclaimed the monk. Il will
have no man about me who blows
both hot anil cold from his mouth"
But that monk didn't live I'm the
twentieth century. Had he done so
and thrown away his electric fan be-
cause 1t did as the stranger did. he
would have lost an invaluable aid.
There are many uses to which the
electric fan can be put in the win
ter, as, for example. the man who
has a heating plant IN his house can
use II for creating a forced draft,
thus aiding much in getting the house
warm on a cold morning. The fan
can also be made to blow through
a radiator and distribute the warm
air more evenly. Merchants are now
using fans for circulating warm air
in the show windows to prevent the
accumulation of frost. OF course
they assist materially in ventilation
in both summer and winter.-The

TRUSTLOQK|hGFOR
INVESTMENT
POSSIBILITY OF CALIFORNIA
FRUIT GAMERS ASSOCIATION
TAKING OVER LOCAL CAN
MING PLANT.

The announcement was sent out
recently that the California Fruit
Gamers association had purchased
the Webber-Bissell cannery at North
Yakima and had also secured pos
session Of the Puyallup cannery, two
of the largest institutions of the
kind In the state. The announce
ment was further made that the can
merry at North Yakima would not be
operated as the products of the
Yakima valley are such as are ham
died in California and the object in
securing this cannery was simply to
corral the canning business of the
northwest.
The Puyallup cannery, however,
will be operated this year in hand
ling the berry supply of that valley.
1t is understood that a tentative Of
fer has been made for the property
of the local cannery, but nothing
definite has been given out along
this line. 1t is likely that should
the local concern pass to the Cali
fornia trust that it would be oper-
ated solely in putting up apricots,
but no other fruit would be canned
here.
A great many local growers feel
that the cannery should be operated
in connection with the fruit growers
association. There are always a
great many by-products of the fruit
industry of this valley that could be
utilized. The price of fruit for the
past two years has been SO high that
the cannery has not been operated
at full capacity either of the years,
but should the cannery be operated
in connection with the Wenatchee
Valley Fruit Growers association a
cider mill, apple butter factory, vine
gar and other products could be man
ufactured.
Since it has been understood that
the California trust has been nego-
tiating for the cannery number of
the local growers have interested
themselves to see what could be done
towards the local fruit growers Or
ganization taking over the canning
department of the Wenatchee Cam
ming company.

BODIES BROUGHT
HERE
ONLY ONE BODY BROUGHT EAST
FROM WELLINGTON-TWO ARE
BROUGHT FROM THE CASCADE
MOUNTAINS TO WENATCHEE.

Two of the bodies killed in the
Cascades were brought to Wenatchee
on the special train last night that
took the injured to Spokane.
One was that of John Bjornsen,
waiter at the boarding house and
aged about % years, and the other
was that of Harry Ellerker, cook, and
aged about 4S years.
The home addresses of both men
have been secured and the relatives
written to.
H. N May, of the Wenatchee I'm
dertaking company, has the bodies in
charge He went to Cascade day be-
fore yesterday, but did not go through
the tunnel.
Mr.. May states that the bodies were
excellently cared for and were deliv-
cred to him in the best possible con-
dition.
Wolf Story Myth.
The sentiment in the mountains
about the story of wolves and lions
that was circulated some time ago is
one Of indignation that such a story
should have been started. Coyotes
are liable to howl anywhere around
the mountains but do not come into
camps Of men. One veteran hunter
went to Cascade with the intention of
going on to Wellington with his hunt
ing dogs, for the purpose of getting
some of the wolves and lions, but be-
came Disguised with the outlook and
turned back, stating that he knew
there was nothing to hunt in that
country.
One Body From Wellington.
So far, only one body has been
brought from Wellington east It
was stated that five were to have been
brought out this way.
The bodies In charge Of the Wenat-
chez Undertaking company will be
embalmed and held for instructions.

ACCUSED BANKER
RETURNS
j. o. OSTBY ACCUSED OF WRECK.
ING STATE BANK AT BREW
STER, RETURNS IN TIME FOR
TRIAL.

]. o. Ostby, formerly connected
with the state bank at Brewster and
recently hauled into court on charges
preferred by d. l.. Gillespie, of Brew
ster, in connection with some alleged
insurance irregularities, returned to
Conconully in time for trial on the
7th of this month.
1t will be remembered that Mr..
Ostby was arrested here some time
ago and held in the county Jail over
night until he could produce cash
bond. The Okanogan authorities, for
some reason, would not accept per-
sonal bond, and Mr.. Ostby was un-
able to put up the cash at a moment S
notice. He succeeded in doing so the
next day and soon after departed for
the east.
A verbal agreement was made that
he should appear for trial on a GER
tain date. According to his conten-
tion the date agreed upon was the
7th of March. The Okanogan author
tiles were of the opinion that the
understanding called for his appear
ance on the 7th of February, a time
when court was not in session.
Accordingly when the 7th of Feb
ruary passed without the appearance
of Mr.. Ostby his bail was declared
forfeited and the sheriff of Okanogan
was sent in pursuit. The officer went
to Albert Lea, Mimi, where he had
located his man, but continued on
to a nearby town for few days
visit, after having placed Mr.. Ostby
under arrest and held with the To-
cal authorities.
Ostby secured habeas corpus pa
pers and departed, without the sher-
if, for Conconully. Instead of COM
ing by way of the Columbia he
chose the train that goes to Oroville
and got into the county seat with
out molestation, although it seems
that the sheriff was waiting at River
side to apprehend him.
His voluntary and unexpected ap-
pearance at the county seat took
the prosecution by surprise. 1t was
not prepared to prosecute and Ostby
is now in Wenatchee on the same
bail that was declared forfeited last
month, awaiting trial at the next
term of court.

Beats Orange Business.

Wilbur M. Little returned yester-
day from Los Angeles, CAL, where
he and his family have been since
the middle of December. Mrs. Little
went on to Seattle from Portland,
while Mr.. Little came home by way
of Spokane. Mr.. Little reports a
very pleasant time in California but
he reiterates the statement made by
all of the Wenatchee people who
have visited California, that the or
ange business is not in 1t with ap-
pie growing in the north. Taking
the conservative statements of the
California orange growers, Mr.. Lit
tie figures that the apple industry,
if conducted rightly. will pay fully
so per cent better than growing or
anges in California.

PUBLIC OUT
RAGE At THE
CEMETERY
BODIES ONE FOOT FROM THE
SURFACE - DANGER OF PES
THENCE WHEN HOT WEA.
THEIR COMES.

In response to complaints that
have been made for some time past,
DR.. Mccoy, the county health officer,
and Daily World man went to the
cemetery today to investigate alleged
outrages in the burial of the pauper
dead.
In company with Sexton Sorenson
the graves were inspected withs an
iron rod that was run down to the
collins. No effort was made to In
vestigate every grave in the plat,
but ten were taken at random and
six found to be shallow. The iron
rod stopped at the collins only lit
tie more than foot down In the
ground. There was no doubt about
the collins as the sound of the rod
striking onto wood could be plainly
heard. The rod would hit the cof-
fin at the same level when inserted
at either end of the graves.
DR.. Mccoy will order the burials
to be made according to the legal
requirements before resorting to
the necessity of taking the matter
up with the authorities.
Whoever buried the bodies did not
always take the trouble to mark the
graves.
One of the shallow graves held
the remains of negro buried May
25, 1908. Another was the grave of
Robert Gibson. Still third held
the body of a man named Clark, as
nearly as the sexton could remem-
Der. Still another was that Of Pat
Broderick, buried November 13.

JAP IS COMMITTED
To JAIL
BOUND OVER ON CHARGE OF AS
SAULT WITH DEADLY INTENT
WILL BE TRIED THE CON-
ING TERM.

County Attorney Fred Kemp ap-
peared before Judge F. s. Taylor, of
Leavenworth, yesterday, in the case
of the state against E. Azuma, who
is charged with attempting to kill
J. w. Rhodes. Azuma was bound
over to the April term of court and
a bond of $4,000 fixed. Sheriff Fer
guson brought the prisoner to the
Jail on the train this morning.
The Jap, it appears, has been in
the employ of the Great Northern
Railway company helping to clear
the slides at Drury. 1t is said that
on February %, the foreman Of the
gang, j. w. Rhodes, ordered the
Japs to work at the slide. They re-
fused, and Azuma is alleged to have
rushed upon the foreman but was
pulled off before he had done any
injury. Whereupon the Jap return
ed to his sleeping car, procured a
revolver, followed Rhodes, and it is
further alleged that with murderous
threats the oriental shot at the fore
man but missed him. The other
Japs, following, took. the deadly in
strument from the infuriated man
and yesterday the justice at Leaven-
worth bound him over to the dis
trict court.
The Wenatchee attorneys who
have complained that there would
be no case requiring a jury in the
coming term of court will doubtless
have to withdraw their complaint.

YAKIMA PEOPLE SLOW

AFTER visiting the Okanogan coun-
try I have made up my mind that
the people of the Yakima valley are
a little SLOW" said H. B. Gilbert, of
the reclamation service, who has re-
turned from an extended business
visit in that district "The most en-
thusiastic lot of people 1 ever saw
have located there. Land values
have those of the Yakima valley
beaten a city block They are SELL
ing raw sagebrush land without wa
ter rights for as high as $500 per
acre. Can you beat that?
Has Big Growth.
'The town of Okanogan has grown
with wonderful rapidity. In a per-
iod of three years the city has or
ganized two banks, has built $10,-
900 bridge over the river, Is laying
pavements, etc., and the work con-
tinues. The principal bank has over
$lVO,OOO or deposits.
II was somewhat impressed with
the character of the people who have
taken up residence in that section.
There you will find about the same
class of people as are located in the
Yakima valley. The town reminds
me very much of North Yakima. The
section is another Yakima valley
and the town is another North Yak
ina, except they are not of the same
proportions.
It Beats All.
Fall into conversation with one
of the people and he will tell you
that as a fruit. growing section. it
has Colorado, the Yakima valley,
Wenatchee and other fruit growing
sections backed off the map
Last year they were successful
at growing peaches, when the peach
crops in most fruit growing sections
failed. This Is one Of their strong
talking points and they make use Of
