EASTERN BUYERS
b[UFF|NG
p. p. HOLCOMB RETURNS FROM
VISIT EAST-GOOD MARKET
THERE FOR EARLY FRUIT BUT
BUYERS HOLDING BACK.

Expecting to force the Washington
growers into the commission plan one
year more, the eastern buyers are
signifying no intention yet of plac-
ing any orders with the Wenatchee
Valley Fruit Growers Association.
They are claiming that the coun-
try is glutted with fruit, and that
they will be able to secure all the
early stuff that they want.
P. P. Holcomb returned today from
a ten days visit to Minneapolis and
other eastern territory, and states
that he sees no reason yet why the
association should yield to the terms
of the eastern buyers. He holds to
the opinion that nearly, or all, of the
local product can be sold here with
out taking resource to the commits
sion plan.
THE general outlook" said Mr.,
Holcomb, holds bright, and / think
that the large crop of this year is
going through all right"

ARREST SPEAKERS
ON STREET
I. w. w. INFEST THE CITY-COM-
PETE WITH SALVATION ARMY
FOR CROWD AND WIN OUT
UNTIL POLICE GET THEM.

Beating his drum and angrily yell
ing at the top of his voice, the visit
ing ensign of the Salvation Army
tried to reattract the attention of the
crowd on Wenatchee avenue last
night, after it had been drawn by
soap-box orator who, in company
with other members of the I. w. w.
organization, began to sing revolu-
tionary songs until hushed by the
police. Two leaders of the Indus
trial Workers of the World were hur-
riedly thrown into the city Jail and
refused bail. The other members Of
the I. w. w. continued their meet
ing in the socialist hall.
Mounting soap box about four
rods from the place where Ensign H.
Hawkins of Chicago was carrying on
a Salvation meeting, A. Roe. with
one motion Of his hand, attracted the
entire crowd of about $50 men that
had been watching the group of SAL
vationists as they sang their dirges
and rag-time songs. The labor leader
started song. While the indus
trial unionists sang their songs, the
enraged ensign, after pronouncing a
few denunciatory epithets on the in
truders, began to furiously beat the
big drum to the partial discontinue
of the labor army. Undaunted by the
noise, the revolutionists continued
their meeting until Wenatchee's
mighty men of valor, its police, led
the leaders to the city Jail.
THAT is tho end of your personal
liberty" triumphantly shouted the
Salvation Army leader as the police
led his competitors away for nights
lodging in the cement house with
tiny windows. "You talk about work
and something for your stomach. I'm
not interested in that. I have saliva
ton and all of these things are add
ed. You ask me why / don't work
for a living; why don't you get to
work." cried Hawkins, vainly trying
to recall the excited crowd that
would hear nothing more from him
that evening.
twenty-five minutes later the
streets were cleared, some went on
their own way, others went to the
meeting OF the I. W. w. held in the
socialist hall on Orondo street, while
the Salvation Army went across the
street to hold their meeting with the
usual number Of saints and sinners.

WILL WATER 5000
ACRES
MARVIN CHASE INTERESTED IN
WAPATO IRRIGATION PROJECT
WHICH WILL WATER LARGE
TRACT NEAR CHELAN.

Marvin Chase, who is at the head
of the engineering department of the
Wapato irrigation enterprise at Che
Ian, came in last night from the
Sound and will leave in the morning
for Chelan. He states that active
work will be commenced on this big
project within two weeks. Messrs.
L. NJ. Backus, M. F. Backus, ]. s.
Swawell and Josiah Green, the men
heavily interested in the enterprise,
are expected to come through here
next Friday, and with Mr.. Chase will
go over the line of the new ditch.
The water supply for the Wapato
project comes from WapatO and other
small lakes. The canal will be run
IL miles and there will be about 81
900 acres of land irrigated at first
and more will be brought under wa
ter later on. The Wapato project has
been in prospect for the past two
years but it is now expected that it
will be rushed to completion and that
water will be on the land next sea-
son.
1t is safe to say that IL Marvin
Chase is interested in the project that
there is merit to it.

2,513,0OO BOXES
WANTED
STRONG DEMAND EXPECTED FOR
BOXES TO HOLD THE APPLE
PACK-MILLMEN WILL GUAR
ANTEE ORDERS GIVEN NOW.

Come early and avoid the rush."
say the millmen. A conservative esti-
mate of the number of apple boxes
required for this seasons crop places
the total at 2,513,0O0. Two thousand
one hundred carloads of apples will
take 100000 boxes; 700 cars of
peaches call for 100000 boxes and
700 cars of other fruits call for about
100000 boxes more. H. s. Worthen,
of the Worthen Mill Company. stated
that his mill could handle all the
business in the neighjorhood, and
that he would guarantee delivery OF
all orders placed within the next ten
days.
Two years ago the growers had
their teams standing in lines, await
ing their turn for boxes, and there
were instances when the waiting Or
chard men waited throughout the
night. 1t is thought that the grow
ers will profit this year by the lesson
of two years ago and get their orders
in earlier.

STATE ATTORNEY SAYS FIGHT IS N LAW

Those who have doubted (and
there were quite number) that the
Waterville railway would ever be
actually built between this city and
Douglas, even after the grading and
bridging had been completed, now
have an opportunity to finally revise
their belief, or they are beyond con-
vincing, says the Big Bend Empire.
The grade made last fall has now
been placed in proper condition to
receive the rails, and the same can
be said of the bridges and culverts.
This work has been done this spring
under the supervision of Engineer
Rogers and John Mohl. quietly, un-
ostentatiously, but surely; and, as
we have said, the line is now ready
for the steel strips. The following
correspondence will explain itself:

state at what time track-laying can
probably start, will arrange to
have the work carried out that way.
