ADVISES PLANTING
Of ART|CHOKEs
AGENT PIPER IN RECEIPT OF
-FOUR OUNCES OF SEED SENT
HIM BY G. N. AUTHORITIES
FOR DISTRIBUTION.

Local Agent A. A. Piper Is in re-
ceipt Of four ounces of artichoke seed
sent to him by General immigration
Agent E. G. Leedy. This seed is of
the variety of artichokes grown in
California, for which there is such
a great demand on the coast. The
seed was procured by President Hill
and he believes that the artichokes
would do we'll in Wenatchee. Both
Mr.. Leedy and President Hill are
very anxious to do something for We
natchee and the seed was sent with
the idea that the growing of arti-
chokes would prove lucrative to the
growers here.
Agent Piper is very anxious to dis
tribute this seed to any who will take
an interest in the promotion of arti-
choke growing, which is practically
new to this valley. They are of the
edible variety and are not such as
are usually fed to the hogs. These
seeds can be secured from Mr.. Piper
at the Great Northern freight depot.

Riverside, Wash, March 29.-The
interior department has turned down
the proposition to extend the govern
ment irrigation project into the res
ervation.
The plan was to get Indians hold
ing allotments on the river lands
within the Colville reservation to
give up all but ten acres of the al
lotme1ts and take 70 acres of hill
lands in exchange for the balance.
The Indians sent strong protest
to the office of Indian affairs in Wash

terror department acted as stated.

Gently made the succinct statement
that it was the sense Of the Indians
on the Colville reservation that they
wanted no money, no wagons, no
harness, no cows, and no help what
ever from the government, but that
they do insist that they get the lands
to which they are legally entitled,
and that they intend to do their ut
most to retain them.

STUNG BY May
BRAY GANG
MILLIONAIRE MISSOURI LUM-
herman TELLS HOW HE WAS
VISTNIZED FOR LARGE SUM
AT FAKE HORSE RACE.

Kansas City, Mo-. March 29.-T.
w. Ballew, a lumberman and mil
lionaire banker at Princeton, Mo-,
who was victimized by the Maybray
gang of fixed race swindlers, told of
his experience today. Ballew lost
$4,000 and his faith in human ma
ture. In all he is out nearly $4,000
on account Of the gang. He said:
81 was an easy mark, all right, but
I was not as easy at it looks at first
glance.
II simply loaned my money to help
out a man whom had befrienied
before. I had known Dobbins for a
number of years, and held note of
his for $3.50. He did not ask me to
bet on the race, but he just offered
to let me go and see the race, which
was to be an exclusive affair to settle
wager between friends.
"Of course, he ran out of cash and
fell for the game, loaning him
$4,000 to help him out Of the hole
he was in. The game could not have
been worked on me If I had not been
his friend. The jockey had fresh
liver in his mouth, began chewing on
it and I thought he mad a hemor-
rhage. I was as badly scared as the
others pretended to be and beat it.

ri have since learned that Dobbins
received $500 as his commission
for singing me, and I have spent
that much in landing him in prison.
Altogether I am out nearly 100000,
but I do not regret the loss of the
money as much as I do the loss of
my faith in human nature"

EPHRATA PROMO
TER HERE
L. F. MCONIHE, WHO is INTER
ESTED IN BIG PROJECT
AROUND EPHRATA AND MOSES
LAKE, IN THE CITY.

L. F. McConihe, promoter of the
McConihe irrigation enterprise in the
Ephrata-Moses Lake country, is in
the city today, arriving here last
night from the Sound. Mr.. McConi-
he is just back from three months
spent in the east, where he went to
finance his project and has every as
rurance that the big enterprise will
be a success.
Mr.. McConihe states that Wenat-
chee's reputation as an apple district
is growing apace. He states that it
is not only on account of the quality
of the apples produced here but rests
mainly on the pack. He spent great
deal of his time on South Water
street in Chicago and in conversation
with the commission men he found
that Wenatchee has the reputation
of putting up the best pack for ap-
pies that goes onto the eastern mar
ket. Colorado produces nearly as
good a tasting apple but falls down
on the pack and he insists that the
growers here should use every pre-
caution to put up for the market the
best possible pack.
Mr.. McConihe states that he found
business conditions good all through
the east. There is some doubt as to
the apple market remaining at the
present prices. 1t takes a great deal
of education to make the eastern
monied men realize the possibilities
of the business of growing apples in
the west.

Wenatchee Daily World
Dear Sir: The Great Northern
railroad yesterday opened its exhibit
room in Chicago with a big display
of Wenatchee fruits, Big Bend grains
and various commodities of this sort.
1t is a great boost for our country.
The Washington Development league
has 10000 little packages of We
natchee soil with the soil analysis,
as per the one sent you some time
ago on their counters, together with
a great big pan of volcanic ash soil
with a sign: "This soil and 365 days
of sunshine will make you indepen-
dent for life."
Since opening this office here in
December, we have done very nice
business and have disposed of great
many tracts of North Central Wash
ington property, including some Is
or 20 Wenatchee proper and Wenat-
chez Sunnyslope property. Many OF
the buyers, all of whom are men and
women of affairs, will go to our city,
Wenatchee, to live in the future.
When you take into consideration
that we have interested several peo-
pie like w. E. O'Neill, secretary OF
the Chicago Athletic club; Peter J.
Dunno. Superintendent of Mandel
Brothers; John E. Dunno, clerk of
Cook county; G. H. Lund, superin-
tendent of the American Colortype
Co.; Magnus Polsen, of Chicago, con-
tractor; Patrick J. O'Rourke, print
err; I. c. Hollenberger, manager In
ternational Harvester company; it
occurs to the writer that story
along the lines suggested would be
good one. Then, too, we are send

a prominent physician; the Johnson
Brothers, merchants, who will doubt
less open in our city; Mr.. August
Pizzarro, piano manufacturer, and
others.

Messrs. Withstand and Stevens left

they had a very difficult trip as the
roads are not in condition for auto

outs and the run ordinarily should
have been made in day, but long
detours had to be made and they en-
countered many washouts which de-

AT RECREATION PARK
FOURTEEN OF COINS FIN
EST ON THE DIAMOND FOR
MORNING WORK.

Joe Cohn had IA of his diamond
experts out today. The men from
Puget Sound and California were not
here this morning but are expected
in some time today. Pitchers Baker
and Hickey and Fielder Kippert are
looked for from the Sound, and
Brooks, Clafiin, Reed and Cartwright
from the south.
The men arrived here fresh from
an easy winter and the work of yes
terday surprised their muscles. Some
of the men contented themselves with
walking stunts out into the different
appleways leading from the city, but
ten of them were able to do regular
practice work at the grounds.
The ball park is getting into the
finest kind of shape. Joe Cohn thinks
1t is one of the best that he has seen.
1t is sheltered from the wind so that
there is no dust there on a windy
day and the wind is only noticed in
the outf1eld.
Those of the men who were work
ing in the park this morning were
attracting much attention on account
of the fine appearance they made.
They were dressed in the white and
blue colors of the team and showed
up in the pink of condition.
The weather today has been ideal
for working, but as the men will not
all be here and ready for work until
tomorrow the training has not got
thoroughly under way.

ROOSEVELT WANT
Ed BY CHINA
DRAGON EMPIRE WANTS HIM TO
FORMULATE FOREIGN POLICY
AND ADVISE THRONE-PLAN
FAVORED BY MANY.

Toxic, March 29.-It is rumored
here that the Chinese government is
contemplating asking Theodore
Roosevelt to become general adviser
to China. The rumor is current
among attaches of the foreign Office.
According to the report, the Chi
nese government has considered the
proposition for some time, AMI has
formulated a tentative plan which
will be presented to Roosevelt in the
near future.
Form Policy for Empire.
He will be asked to consider the
needs of the Chinese Empire, and
make recommendations not only for
reform within the empire, but par
ticularly for guiding it in its rela-
tions with other nations.
The rumor has been given weight
because of the recent call of ex-Min-
lister WI Ting Fang, who visited
Roosevelt in Carlo.
Officials Admire Huntsman.
1t is known that officials Of the
Chinese government have a great ad-
miration for Roosevelt and consider
him one of the greatest living con-
structive statesmen. They have par
ticularly admired his achievements
in diplomatic fields.
His efforts to bring about the end
of the Russo-Japanese war brought
him much prominence in the eyes of
the eastern nations. China has al
ways had troubles in dealing with
other nations and it is believed that
Roosevelt will be asked to outline a
foreign policy.
Diplomats Are Interested.
In diplomatic circles here the ru-
NOR has been discussed with con-
siderable interest.
Roosevelt has always been regard
ed as friendly to the Japanese, and
it is believed that his services, should
they be secured, would do much
towards uniting the interests of the
nations of the Far East.
