G.. N. CHICKENS GONE
Chanticleer Party at G. n. Express
Office Flew the Coop.

Feeding chickens will no longer
be one of the joys attached to the
office of the Great Northern Express
company. For the past two weeks
crate full of Sunday dinner MAX
ms" has been growing and cackling
Justify beside the office of the Great
Northern express. Consigned here
to man who happened to be in
parts afar, the express agent was
nearly in the same quandary of the
agent in the famous story entitled,
Pigs is Pigs" He was more for
tunate, however, on account of being
able to seize the eggs and prevent
the fearful increase that was the fea-
ture of the guinea-pig story.
Today the crate is empty, dumbly
speaking in the most literal sense,
that the chickens are no longer
where they were.
Mystery is in the air, for inquiries
at the express office, by an inquisi
tive reporter, brought forth no elu-
cidating information.
The chickens are gone but the
crate is still there.

SEASON Is DAYS
EARLIER
Apricots Will Commence to
Move About July l.
Peaches July 10.

According to Agent Piper, of the
Great Northern, the early fruit season
is about fifteen days earlier than for
the past several years. There are
from 40 to so carloads of apricots
in the valley this year and these will
commence to move about July /. I'M
mediately following the cot shipments
the peach season will begin and will
last month or six weeks. In 1907
and 1908 the first carload shipments
from this valley comemnced about
July 10th and this year the season
will be from ten to fifteen days ear
lier.
Next week the cherry season will
be in full blast and large quantities
will go out of here by express. The
crop is light consequently there will
be no car load shipments but most
of the cherries will go by express.

Came Here With Columbus.

A man in Spokane when asked by
the census enumeration as to his age
said he was 144 years old. He also
said that he came to this country
with Columbus. When asked as to
his family he said he was partly mar
ried and partly not and had As child
rem. The report went into the CEN
sus office and an enumerator was sent
out to give him one more chance.
Evidently approaching the fact that
discretion was the better part of va
lor" the man this time answered the
questions correctly.

JACK HICKEY WAS
RELEASED
Southpay Pitcher Drew His
Release Yesterday
From Spokane.

Jack Hickey, one of the south
paws on Joe COINS staff, was handed
the blue slip yesterday morning and
is no longer a member of the Spo-
kane team. Hickey was released
because it was figured that the cut
had to be made somewhere and as
another pitcher is expected soon the
ak fell on that department.
Hickey has been in the Northwest
ern league many seasons and was
expected to be one of the strongest
southside fingers in the league this
year. Jack got away with two games
this season in nice order, but did not
satisfy Cohn that he had enough
stuff to hold him on the team.

Call 1t North Wenatchee.
Editor Daily World:


We wish to call your attention to
this fact, that all of the territory
north of the Wenatchee river is not
included in Sunnyslope farms. One
would suppose from reading your
west of the Wenatchee bridge to Mon
itor and all north of said bridge and
up to the Columbia river to Entiat
was Sunnyslope farms. Such, how
ever, is not the case. We have what
we are pleased to call Birch fiat which
contains forty-fve or more families.
We have Paradise valley with fifteen
more families. We also have Beacon
hill with four families. So you can
see there are more than sixty families
in North Wenatchee outside of Sunny
slope territory. We have nothing but
good will and best wishes for Sunny
slope 1t is one of Gods beauty spots
and we are proud of it's fine orchards
and excellent fruit. Now what is true
of Sunnyslope is also true Of Birch
fiat and Paradise valley and please
don't forget that Beacon hill is the
cap sheaf of them all. So please give
each place credit for what it has or
perhaps better still, designate it all
as North Wenatchee. Yours truly,
IRA P. FERRIN.

Novel Plan of Construction Devised by
South American.
Professor Pierre Roveda. an archi-
tect of Buenos Aires. has devised a
special plan for the construction Of
whole districts of houses for the work
ing classes. says the Scientific Ameri-
can. Instead of employing the usual
square block as unit, Professor Ro-
veda adopts a circle varying in diane
ter from 100 to 100 yards. This circle
Of ground is subdivided into ninety
nine radial lots converging to center.
The circle is concentrically divided to
form an interior avenue four yards
broad to permit of communication
with the center of the circle. Each av-
enue leads to external sidewalks and
In the center of the circle is a plot Of
forty yards in diameter, where chill.
dren may be left to themselves with
out their parents care, in charge of a
specially designated person. In this
garden a playroom, school, a hospi-
tai, fire station and an administra-
ton room are to be found.
Naturally this circular plot Of ground
will leave four corners free. In each
of these corners Professor Roveda in
tends to erect four chalets, such as
grocery shops, diaries, haberdasheries
and the like. which are to be conducted
on a cooperative plan. In each Of the
ninety-nine radial plots working
mans house is to be built on the Eng
lish plan. 1t is argued that the circu-
lar arrangement will give continuous
sunshine at all hours Of the day and
plenty Of light and air.

scientists of the department of agri-
culture. The bill was exceptionally
dirty. In the big colony that was
thriving on the bill were the bacteria

Germs do not thrive on metal money.
The action Of the metal in coins, es-
pecially copper. seems to be hard on
the microbes. and if any get on they
die within few hours. They will
live and thrive on paper money for a

the most frequently circulated, are the
worst from a sanitary point Of view.

Mason County COURTHOUSE
SPHAR PRESSED BRICK
WORKS
Brick Manufacturers.

One of the largest industries of
Maysville and one whose product has
won fame over a large territory is that
of the Sphar Pressed Brick Works.
This company has been established six
years, and is incorporated under the
laws of Kentucky. A. c. Sphar, the
President of the Company, is one of
the best known brick makers in the
country.
Employment is given to about sixty
skilled men, all of whom receive the
best of wages, and the pressed brick
manufactured by this Company is con-
sidered one of the finest on the market.
The Company ship all through the
South as far as Galveston and New Or
leans, as far North as Duluth and also
all over the East. The plant is equipped
throughout with the latest machinery,
every labor saving device, or every
device that can be employed in the
manufacture of first class pressed
brick being found in use at the
Sphar Pressed Brick Works.
They have an annual capaci-
ty of over 100000 pressed brick,
and the fact that the plant is
located on the c. & o. Railroad tracks
greatly facilitates shipping. We can
truthfully say there is no concern in
Maysville that has done more to
spread her fame over a large territory
or that has done more to advertise the
city than has this one. The officers of
the Company are all well-known bust
ness men who are always ready and
willing to help along any proposition
gotten out with the advancement Of the
city as its aim,

all his life. He obtained his early edu-
cation in the district schools, after
which he attended Kentucky Univer-

ton in 1901, and is now serving his
third term.
Judge Whitaker, while believing that
the laws should be upheld and crime
punished, at the same time believes
that offenders who come before him
should be given a fair and impartial
hearing, and prosecution not turned
into persecution, hence the justice of
his decisions has never been ques-
toned

success of the New York Store, located
