FINED FOR P0[[UT-
ING WATER
H. N. Gochnour, Dairyman,
Also Given Suspended
Jail Sentence.

On the complaint of DR.. Mccoy,
county health officer, H. N. Goch-
nour, a north Wenatchee dairyman,
was arrested Saturday for polluting
the city water supply. Gochnour is a
dairyman and owns a place just north
of the intake of tie city water sys-
tenn. Gochnour not only runs a
dairy but he feeds large number of
hogs. He takes great deal of gar
bage from the residents of the city
to feed them and this garbage is
thrown into a ditch that carries off
the surplus irrigation water from the
Gochnour and other places in that
vicinity. The filth from the hog pen
and the refuse from the barn yard
drain into this ditch and in turn is
carried into the Columbia Just above
the city intake.
Gochnour was arraigned Saturday
evening, before Judge Palmer, and
after hearing the evidence of DR.. NJ
Coy and of Gochnour himself Judge
Palmer imposed a fine of SIS and
gave the man sentence of 30 days
in the city Jail. This Jail sentence
was suspended on condition that
Gochnour would at once clean up his
premises to the satisfaction of the
county health officer. In the mean
time an embargo was placed on the
selling of milk, and Judge Palmer
states that he will send the man 20
Jail providing Gochnour does not
comply with the courts order.

ABOUT 90 CARLOADS Of
J0NATHANS ARE SOLD
Association Sold but One Block of Big Directors
Will Not Say, but is Thought the Price Was About
$3.50 f. o. b. Wenatchee- Prices on Other Varieties
Good but Sales Will Not Be Made Until Later

The Wenatchee Valley Fruit Grow
ers' association directors were in ses-
sion again all forenoon and decided
on a sale of from rs TO 80 carloads
of Jonathans This block was di-
vided between two big dealers, one
of which is not represented in this
valley. The directors refused to give
out any prices at which these Jona-
thans were sold, but several we're
seen after the sale was consummated
and all expressed themselves as well
satisfied with the prices received.
No other apples were sold this
morning but other sessions will be
held in the near future to consider
bids on other varieties. The sale was
an outright one and cash will be
paid for the Jonathans f. o. b. We
natchee. The directors resent the
intimation that they have even been
considering the disposal of the big
apple pool on a consignment basis.
All sales will be made f. o. b. We
natchee and growers can be assured
of receiving their money at once.
The Wenatchee Valley Fruit Grow
ers' association has tied up with it
approximately $50 carloads of ap-
Piles, 200 cars being at Cashmere.
The pool was closed week ago last
Saturday and all week tenders were
laid of apples, but everything offered
last week was turned down, as the
association believes that it had all
of the fruit it cared TO take the
responsibility for selling.
While none of the directors seen
by the Daily World would authorize
the sale prices received by the block
of Jonathans, yet it is believed that
the price was approximately $3.50
per box. The sale represents. about
$4,000.
During the past week the apple
price prospects have frightened con-
siderably and it is believed that the
prices will be good on all varieties.
The board of directors of the associa-
tion state that it is safe to say this
year Notwithstanding the efforts that
have been made to bear the market,
that growers will be satisfied.
Short on Fruit Boxes.
The association early in the season
ordered 20 carloads of apple boxes.
Each carload contains approximately
5000 boxes. This is found to be
very inadequate and it will take at
least SO carloads to take care of the
apples now controlled by the associa-
ton. 1t is thought that there will be
no diculty in making up the shortage
in the boxes.

IRON SME[IER FOR THE
TOWN Of [EAVENW0RTH
Man Now on the Ground for the Purpose of Selecting
Site Washington Steel & Iron Co. of Spokane to
Open Up Mines of Magnetic Iron Near Blewitt =
Grew There to Do Construction Work.

The town of Leavenworth is to
have an iron smelter. At least this
is the present plan of the Washing
ton Steel & Iron company, of Spo-
kane, which has staked a mine of
valuable magnetic iron ore at Blew
lit. D. A. McGregory, a contractor,
of Spokane, is now at Leavenworth
for the purpose of doing the con-
struction work. 1t is planned to
build a cotton smelter to start on
but if the mine turns out as it is
believed that it will, it will mean the
construction of a smelter of large
proportions at or near the town of
Leavenworth.
E H. Rothert, general manager
of the Washington Steel & Iron Co.,
is expected in Leavenworth to select
a site.
The filing on the mountain of mag
netic ore at Blewitt was done early
in the summer. A man, representing
the big iron company at Spokane,
was on his way to the Okanogan
country to find a mine of magnetic
ore. On the steamboat he met A.
J. Linville, of this city, who told him
where he might find good one at
Blewitt The man went at once to
Blewitt and staked out the claim. 1t
is said that this iron is some of the
best that has been found anywhere
in the world. 1t is necessary to run
it through the fire but once and the
iron is suitable for the very finest of
tool steel. To make the ordinary
iron of sufficient hardness it is ne
cessary to run it through the fire
several times.
The news of the work about to
begin at Leavenworth is not general
~ known. although rumors of it
have been heard for some time, and
a ripple of excitement is manifest
among those who are aware that
men are already on the ground for
the purpose of selecting a site and
building the smelter.

the actual shock of conflict with the
old guard in the republican state
convention at Saratoga
He returned to New York this
morning from Syracuse, where he

ly before noon, and spent the rest
of the day with his family.
Secretes Plans
The colonel refused to discuss his
plans for the fight at Saratoga, or
to say whether he believes he will
be successful. His references to
President Taft in his Syracuse
speech, in which he gave his ap-
prevail to number of the most inn
portant acts Of the administration.
are regarded, however, as throwing
some light on his probable attitude
toward an Endorsement of the ad-

FAILED TOFLY0vER
SWISS ALPS
Two Starts Were Made but
Wind Was Too Strong
for Flight.

Brig, Switzerland, Sept. 49,
| Though the weather was unpropiti.
GUS for the bold undertaking, Wey.
| mann, an American, and George
Chavez, Peruvian, attempted to
cross the Alps in an aeroplane flight
today. Both failed but not until
they had given pretty exhibitions OF
high flying that promised better
success in fair weather Chavez
reached an altitude of 1856 feet
when caught by violent wind and
came down. Weymann went up
100 feet and descended owing to
the wind.
Under the rules the contestants
for the great flight from Brig at the
head of the Rhine valley to Italy
may start at any time, beginning
today, until September &c, but they
must complete the air journey to
Milan in a single day. The attempt
was regarded by some as foolhardy,
as the aviator must rise 1000 feet
Immediately on leaving the ground
and maintain that altitude for no:
less than half an hour to clear Sim
plon pass. Descent anywhere in the
first 20 miles of the rocky, precipit-
Gus gorges would mean almost GER
tain death
Air Currents Strong.
A meteorologist stationed on Sim
plon during the last month reports
that the peaks of the mountains are
snowclad and the air currents strong
and gusty. In that time there have
been only two days in which the
pass could be crossed in safety. Pr
lots have calculated that an altitude
of 1000 feet would reduce the pow
err of the motor 35 per cent.
The route follows the road built
by Napoleon in 1900, over the Sim
plon pass, which is 6,52S feet high
at the summit. The country is
broken and very difficult. There
are many chasms, notably the
gorge of Yzette A captive balloon
at height of $500 feet will mark
the aerodrame at Milan, which Is
about Is mics as the crow flies,
from the starting point.

FRESH EGGS IN WINTER.

The poultryman who can supply fresh
eggs in winter, when prices are high, has
a tremendous advantage over the one
who through ignorance or neglect has
to wait until summer, when the supply
is large and the price low. Not everyone
can do this, and no one can do it unless
he takes proper care of his fowls and
gives them food containing the essential
g-producing ingredients which, when
running at large, the hens can supply
themselves to a large extent in summer.
There is no material better fitted for this
purpose than pages Perfected Poultry
Food" George F. Tanner of Spring
field, VT, has used and sold this food for
many years. and he speaks from ex-
perience when he says, in recent letter:
"For several years I have sold and used
Pages Perfected Poultry Food, and do
not hesitate to say that I think it is one
of the best foods on the market to make
hens lay. Shall be pleased to handle it
for you again this season
If you want to know more about this
food and the best ways ofusing it, write
to c. S. Page, Hyde Park, Vt, for his
booklet; profitable Poultry" 1t will
be sent free, postpaid, to anyone men
tioning this paper.
