The early settlers in a community
have 1t within their power to stamp
indelibly their character upon the
place. This was true in reference
to Arthur Gum. If the Wenatchee
country is better in many respects
than the average community else
where Arthur Gum has been a
factor in making it so. He is one
Of the men who appreciated the
possibilities of the country and one
Of the men who have been foremost
in exploiting its resources. He was
the leading spirit which led to the
construction of the first irrigation
ditch of Importance in the valley
the Gum Ditch. He subsequently
helped to organize the Farmers Tel
ephone and Telegraph company.
But his principal work in the past
few years has been the management
OF the Wenatchee Electric company.
Few people have realized the mag
nitude OF his task, but he has sue
ceeded. He served the counties of
Chelan and Kittitas as member OF
the state senate for two years.
Senator Gum has been one OF
Wenatchee's most useful citizens.

DR.. Dennis w. King, the present
head of the commercial organiza-
ton, is one of the men Of big cali
Der in the state of Washington. There
are few, if any. men in the CONNER
cial club today who enjoy the re-
spect combined with the esteem and
admiration of the membership as
does it's present executive. This is
a strong statement, but none the
less true.
Previous to coming to Wenatchee,
DR.. King lived in Kansas and Is to-
day remembered in that state as one
of her foremost citizens. He was
one time slated for congress and
could have had the nomination If he
had consented to allow his name to
go before the convention. The ap-
probation by the community OF DR..
King as one of its citizens will grow
with the years. Candidly, the Com
mercial Club is proud Of him.
Secretaries of the Commercial Club.
The first secretary of the Com
mercial Club was H. c. Littlefield,
who held the office during the years
1908, 1904 and 1905. The club
quarters were located on Mission in
small room, but from here the
work of the club was done and the
first secretary who worked at a dis
advantage for lack of facilities and
funds, succeeded, nevertheless, in
doing much for the club and for the
city. Mr.. Littlefield was one of the
best secretaries the organization has
ever had. The first secretary was
elected by the members of the or
ganization All subsequent secre-
taries have been elected by the d.
rectors.
Following is list of the subse-
quent incumbents of the office:
Rufus Woods, Feb. Is, 1906, till
June ~, 1910.
Sam R. Sumner, June 81, 1906,
till August Is, 1905.

After having served year as
president of the Commercial Club,
Jno. A. Gellatly was succeeded by
L. v. Wells, whose development pro-
jects have had a distinct bearing up
on the growth of Wenatchee. Mr..
Wells is a former superintendent of
the city schools of Wenatchee. For
some time he was engaged in the
drug business in this city and sold
| this business to U. G. Pogue to go
into the business Of furnishing cleo
trio light fer the city of wenatchee.
The electric light business was sold
later on to Arthur Gum. Mr.. Wells
next took up an irrigation and fruit
project on Wheeler Hill. To that
part Of the hill Mr.. Wells gave the
name Wenatchee Heights. This tract
covers seven hundred acres and is
| one of the magnificent views in this
section of the state. At the presen!
time Mr.. Wells is associated with

day. To Mr. Fishers geniality is
due much of the patronage which
that institution now enjoys in the
community. Mr.. Fishers incum-
bency as president of the CONNER
cial Club was marked as a period
of good will and much progress.
During that time some great fine
exhibits were turned out at the sew
eral fairs and the organization cap
tured the $1,000 prize at the Spo-
kane Interstate fair. To D. N. Get
latly, the secretary, however, must
be given much credit for this sue
cess.
Mr.. Fisher, previous to locating in
Wenatchee, lived in Seattle and prior
to that in Colorado. He has had
much banking experience in many of
the larger institutions of the west.

New York denomination of
the announcement in The World that
the battleship fleet will be sent on an
extended foreign cruise reached this
city in the form of an official Letter
from the Navy Department to Lieu
tenant A. w. Pressey, U. S. N, the
officer in charge of the naval recruit
ing Office.
The announcement, which is re-
garded as one of the most important
issued by the Navy Department since
the one that despatched the battle
ship feet on its famous cruise around
the world, indicates notable change
in naval policy as to the disposition
of its fleets in time of peace. Still
more interesting is the fact that this
cruise of the sixteen new battleships
of the Atlantic fleet to the Mediterra-
mean has nothing to do with war
clouds, but is mainly to give that part
of young America which has cast its
fortunes with Uncle Sans web foot
an opportunity of seeing the world.
Unique Phase of the Trip.
Never before in the history of any
navy has such a cruise been under
taken for such a purpose. Think Of
a personally conducted tour to the
Mediterranean. in fleet whose ag-
gregate cost exceeds that of twenty
Lusitanias! But whereas those who
might make such a trip by Lusita-
mia would have hundreds, perhaps
thousands, of dollars to pay for pas
sage alone, those who go on this trip
will have no such expense, but will
be paid for going.
Immediately upon receipt of the
official notice from Washington Lieu
tenant Presley prepared circular
letter, which will be sent to the Navy
Department for its approval and then
distributed broadcast throughout the
country. The circular reads in part:
The Navy Department has just
made very important announce
ment. 1t intends to send the battle
ship fleet to Europe next fall, prob
ably the Mediterranean and possibly
parts of Africa. From now on it will
be it's policy to send the fleets to for
eign ports for few months every
year.
This means that thousands of
young Americans will have a chance
to see the world, and get paid for it.
Many people save money for months
or years in order to go abroad, and l
never heard of one who did it who re-
GREETED it. l want to ask you this i'm
portant question: Are you willing to
travel if you are we'll paid for it? Or
would you rather stay at home and
read about it?
please understand that the Navy
Department does not promise you or
any one else that particular trip to
Europe. The Navy Department. new
er makes promises of that nature.
But thousands of young men will get
1t, because thousands will be needed
for it. Why shouldn't You be one of
them?

PAIN GRIPS SENATOR
EARLY EVERY MORNING.
For Fourteen Years MIR. Money
Has No Alarm Clock Always
Stays Two Hours.

Senator Money, of Mississippi, the
minority leader, is easily the earliest
riser in the upper branch of Con-
gress. He does not hold this record
from choice but necessity. Neither
does he require an alarm clock to
shake him out of bed.
Every day in the year, precisely at
five O'Clock in the morning, neuralgia
pains strike Senator Money in the
jaw and there is no more sleep for
him. He hops up, dictates his letters
and has his correspondence cleared
away by breakfast time.
The remarkable and agonizing fact
about Senator Moneys style of neu-
ralgia is that it has been visiting him
regularly at the same hour every
day for fourteen years. All sorts of
prescriptions have been tried in vain
to ward off the attacks, and all sorts
of drugs and rubs and shocks have
been resorted to for relief from the
pain while it lasts. In spite of all
the remedies and treatments Mr.. Neu-
ralgia hobs up serenely every morn
ing at five and remains two hours,
and then departs as suddenly as he
arrives.
Finding that close attention to
work caused him to forget the pain.
the Senator got into the habit of
plunging into his correspondence as
soon as the neuralgia WIS felt.

1t is known that the plan of send
ing the fleets of the Atlantic and Pa
cific on extended annual cruises into
foreign waters originated with two
of the most distinguished officers of
the navy-Rear-Admiral Richard
Wainwright, who now occupies the
recently established Office of Aid to
Operations, and Rear-Admiral Seaton
Schroeder. who commands the Allan
tic fleet.
This fleet is now engaged in man
oeuvres off the Virginia coast, but
will separate in a few days and pro-
coed to their several "home" navy
yards, where the crews will be given
leave while such repairs as the ves-
sells may be in need of will be made.
1t is expected that the Missouri and
the Wisconsin, these being the oldest
vessels now attached to the feet, will
be replaced by the two newest, these
being the recently completed Della
ware and North Dakota, of the
Dreadnaught class.
The order which sends the At
lantic fleet to the Mediterranean this
fall contemplates the despatch of the
Pacific squadron to the waters Of
South America at an even earlier
date. 1.-THE Pacific fleet" the order
says, will cruise to South American
ports late in the summer to take part
in celebrations to be held in honor
of the one hundredth anniversary Of
Chile's independence from SPAIN"

GAY STATES CHARITY LIST.
Nearly Third of Its Population Got
Some Benefit in the Past Year.

Boston, Mass.-That 913,401 per-
sons, nearly one-third of the entire
population of the State of Massachu-
sets, were beneficiaries of charitable
corporations is feature of the an
nual report published by the State
Board of Charity for 1910.
OF this number III, 672 were aided
free, the remaining 742,029 paying
in whole or part for the service rem
dered. In addition to the individual
beneficiaries are 44S6 families.
These figures are derived from the
returns of SIG of the $50 such cor
porations in the State. Their total
valuation is reported as s56,370,S65,
and their disbursements $7,S56,363.
OF the SIG nearly half, or 245, are To-
Gated in Boston. The 1S9 city and
town almshouses had 10,025 inmates
during the year.
