SOAP LAKE ACT|V.
tiles

Aside from the growing popular
ity OF the great curative waters OF
Soap Lake, there are such industrial
and political activities in vogue as
are attracting the attention OF out
side capital and population. The
large sanitarium, under the direct
management of DR.. 1. s. Harold, is
having the largest patronage of any
winter season since the opening of
the big hotel, and the coming sum-
ner season also bids fair to out
rank all past records in patronage.
The Soap Lake townsite Is being
extended to the new Soap Lake sta
ton on main line Of the Great Nor
thern railroad, numerous sales OF
town lots are reported and many
new homes now dot the beautiful
TOWNSHIP on the shores of the famous
lake.
A new M. E. church will soon be
a reality and new telephone lines
are in course of construction which
will very soon put the Soap Lake
people in close connection with the
country at large. Great Northern
trains now make scheduled stops at
the new Soap Lake station AMI a
new and commodious depot will at
once be constructed.
In addition to new roads being
built by the county, which connect
Soap Lake with outside towns, its
citizens in conjunction with the peo-
pie of Ephrata are building from
private subscription highway be-
tween Soap Lake and Ephrata tc
accommodate traffic to and from the
Lake, and besides this, Soap Lake
| citizens are building several miles
of highway extending and making
| connections with other points in the
county:
A few bearing fruit orchards IN
| the immediate vicinity of the Lake
having well and thoroughly proven
the Lake section one Of the finest
for the growing of apples, peaches
pears and other fruits, there are
such activities in the development
OF irrigation water and the sub
division of large tracts Of land into
small home tracts as are unequale6
elsewhere in the state. The Adrian
Irrigation Land company with hold
ings of six thousand acres Or more
adjoining the Lake town have al

ready developed an abundance OF
gravity water, planted several hun
dred acres of orchard, and in addi-
ton, have sold hundreds of small
home tracts to newcomers, many Of
whom are moving onto their land
this spring to engage in intensive
farming.
C. L. Upton and wife, Of Leth-
bridge, Alberta, who a few months
ago invested heavily in apple lands
at Soap Lake, have returned for the
purpose of sinking new wells and
developing irrigation water on their
newly acquired lands and planting
large acreage of orchard this
spring. While at Soap Lake they
will be guests at the big hotel. Mr..
Upton is most sanguine and enthus-
iastic as to the future of the Lake
section as a fruit belt and health re-
sort.
From quite reliable inside infor-
nation the Chicago, Milwaukee &
st. Paul people will build from their
main line by way of Moses Lake and
Soap Lake to the Okanogan coun-
try, and the prospective advantages
of two competing railroads are ad-
ding great stimulous to the already
strenuous activities of the Lake.
Just now, a county seat fight has
been started in Grant county, where
in a petition is in circulation to move
the county seat from Ephrata, east
of Soap Lake, over to Adrian, new
townsite, on the opposite side of the
county. However, Soap Lake, with
her famous resort attractions and
her rapid industrial growth and de-
velopment, and becoming a business
center, is right in the logical geo.
graphical center and hence is easily
entitled to first place in case our
county capital is to be moved else
where in the county. Since this
agitation began, strong public sem
timent has developed in favor of
Soap Lake, and should change be
made, Soap Lake will, for reasons
pointed out, be the county seat OF
Grant county.
All in all, the people of our coun-
ty are energetic and wideawake to
their own best interests and necessi-
ties, likewise they are and will be
broad-minded and fair in their ac-
tions affecting. the future growth
and development of the county and
the prosperity and happiness of her
people.

There was q dialogue accompany
ing this figure which ran about as
follows:
What is your manner"
Opportunity"
"Why do you lean forward?"
aTo show that I do not tarry
long"
"Why do you have wings on your
feet?"
"To indicate that I travel very

why do you have long hair in

'That men may take me by the
forelock."
why are you bald behind?"
$50 that men can not lay hold OF

And so originated the proverb.
Take time by the forelock."
This will apply to NOSE every
phase of our life. Past files OF the
Daily World will show that this
writer has hammered on the vast
ness of Wenatchee's opportunities.
They will show that the question OF
good roads was very much empha-
sized. It was plain there must be
a great state highway from the West
to the East. BY all means that high
way should pass through Wenat'
chez.
In duck hunting l have managed
to get right onto the fowls by watch
ing closely and advancing only when
they had their heads down in the
water feeding. Have we had our
heads down? There seems to be
some little alarm spreading among
us for fear that Yakima will get the
road. 1t will be we'll to note that
the road was not nor will 1t be
served up to Yakima on a silver
platter trimmed with garlands. Yak.
ina went after it. And she is still
busy. Some of us have looked uI
from our feeding long enough to see
what is about to happen.
1t has been urged heretofore In
these columns, editorially and 9th
erwise, that Chelan county should
have a good roads organization. i
remains to be seen whether we will
stop feeding long enough to respond
to Mayor Gellatly's call and make
the good roads meeting on the 12tf
a success and get in shape to make
our wants and wishes felt by thu
state authorities.
1t will be an immensely Ions
feather in Wenatchee's cap to ge
that road, but it will never come

globe that his great fortune will not

Morgan's greatest artistic yearnlng

one of the most famous royal resi-.
dences in Europe.
Mr.. Morgan offered $4,000, 900 for
this magnificent and ancient structure.

Italy. But the Italian government
holds that the Reggia is one OF the
Kingdoms monuments and relics and
so it was impossible to accept the
Americans offer. Of course this huge
work of art could not be taken out.

violated in a sense the law which for.

The Reggia, which dates from 1902,
contains GOO rooms and has an eXten.

Mantua. 1t has filled a large space in
italian history. During the epoch
of the Gonzagas 1t was the center Of

there the most renowned artists,
scholars and scientists found hospi-

to buy the Reggia, and was greatly

Washington.-Rear Admiral W.. S.

itication, following that body's repudia-
ton of DR.. Cook, has raised a storm
among the membership of the National
Geographic Society, when gave Peary Il
clean bill of health. The leading men,
bers claim that the scientists of the
United States would be demeaning them
selves if they acknowledged that their
findings needed verifcation. There seems
to be no disposition to withhold from
the Copenhagen board the data filed by
Peary, but there is a we'll defined oppo-
sition against turning it over to the
Danish scientists for official action.
Nothing can be gained by submitting
Commander Peary's data to the Univer-
sity of Copenhagen" said Prof. Gannett,
who was chairman of the committee who
passed upon Peary's proofs, 'and l do
not see any reason why he should. The
committee which passed upon his papers

BEvTZVIII~E TALES
Artabanus Biffle and the Ghost
kER%W Ellis Darker BuHefI
w Author of"Pigs' is Pigs" Etc*&9
ILLUSTRATED By PETER NEWELL

For a good many years Artabanus
BifIle, who lives on the Hill road just
west Of Betzville, was troubled by the
ghost OF his great-grandfather. He
often told Uncle Ashdod Clute that he
would not have minded the old gray
ghost o much if it had been an ordi-
nary Wellbehaved ghost, but, as he
expressed it, the blamed old shade
vas too nosey for any use. No mat
ter what A%rtabanus or his wife start
ed to do, the old s~moke-colored shade
would float up, with his eyes like an
owl, and stand awhile "rubbering''-
that is the word Artabanus used-and
then he would begin telling them how
much better he could do whatever
they were doing, when he was alive.
You a imagine that it made Arta-
banus mad ii, just as he had squeezed
Is joints OF close fitting stove pipe
together, and was standing on top of
a chair on top Of q table, and balanc-
ing on n toe. with the stove pipe
held at arms length above his head,
and the left eye full of SCOT, the old
misty gentleman would float up and
begin to say he wished he had that
stove pipe to put up. Often, on such
occasions, Artabanus would speak
GROSSLY to the ghost, and then the IS
joints of stovepipe would separate
and fall on the floor, and the ghost

OUR BIGGEST SHIP LAUNCHED
Is Fifth Of All Big Gun Type YES
sci Launched.

Observation-Disclosures to have no
equal aflOat as a tirst-class fighting ma
chine, the battleship Utah, the greatest
warship ever built in the United States,
was launched from the yard of the New
York Shipbuilding Company at Camden,
N. j., Thursday, in the presence of sew
eral thousand persons who crowded the
docks and every vantage point in the
vicinity of the yard.
AS the big hull started to leave the
thickly creased ways, Miss Mary Alice
Spry of Salt Lake City, daughter of the
of Utah, raised her arm, and
with a swift, hard swing, broke a gaily
beribboned bottle of champagne against
the keel of the great ship and spoke the
words that gave the vessel a name.
The Utah is the fifth of the all-big-
gun type of battleship for the United
States navy to be launched. When COM
pleted she will be more powerful than
the Delaware and North Dakota of the
Dreadnaught class. The Utah has a
length on the load water line of $40 feet,
or 521R feet over all, and a beam of So
feet 9 inches. Her trial draft will be
1872 feet; displacement, 1885 tons, or
1000 tons greater than the Delaware
and North Dakota, and her speed is ex-
pected to develop 2OA knots or more an
hour.

ARBUCKLE Man INDICTED
Assistant Superintendent Charged
With Swindling Uncle Sam.

New York-The government Wednes-
day took the first step in the prosecu.
ton of persons connected with the sugar
refinery of Arbuckle Bros, in Brooklyn,
suspected of connection with the revenue
frauds which have been settled by that
firm for $695,OOO. This wal signalized
by the announcement of the Indictment
by the United States grand jury Of
Thomas Doyle, who for years has been
assistant superintendent of the Arbuckle
refinery. 1t is expected his arrest will
be followed by the announcement Of sim
liar indictments against several other
employees of Arbuckle Bros, together
with at least three government agents
charged with c%o-conspiracy in the frauds.
The indictment charges Doyle with
two overt acts. It first alleges that he
was concerned in the false weighing of
a cargo of raw sugar which arrived at
the Arbuckle refinery Feb. I, 1907, on
the steamship Mexico, from Cuba. It
AYERS that the reported weight was
1,102,3s0, while the true weight was
1,124,362 pounds. By this transaction
the government claims to have been
swindled out Of $335.s3 in import duties.
The second charge in the indictment
is that a shipment of raw sugar on the
steamship Falco, from Cuba, which ar
rived June /, 1906, was underweighed,
so that the government lost $4,000, in
| revenue

to the wash boiler and tied the lid
on and started the fire under it, he
swelled and swelled, and at $50 p. m.
the boiler exploded with a roar, for
1t could not contain the ghost any
longer. The ghost poured out of the
boiler for hours, like steam. Great
clouds of MIN poured out, and when
he was all out he was ten times big
ger than the house, but although his
head and shoulders waved in the up
per air, his feet were firmly planted
in A%rtabanus Bifle's property. And
the first thing the ghost did was to
lean down and tell Artabanus and
Uncle Ashdod that if he was going to
get rid of a ghost he wouldn't go
about it in that way. Then he snig.
gered.
That sort of discouraged Artabanus,
but it set Uncle Ashdod thinking, and
he say he had gone at the matter in
the wrong way. 1t stood to reason
that if you could expand a ghost you
could also contract it, and that if ex.
panding would not do the job, con-
tracing ought to. So he had Arta-
banus send to the city for a Tripler
Liquid Air machine. If you freeze air
sufficiently it will turn into a liquid

machine arrived they set it going,

Turkish Women Indifferent,

According to the Frankfurter lei.
tung, the attempt to establish a wo-
mans newspaper in Turkey. which

status of Mohammedan women, has
proved a failure. The journal, which
is entitled Mehasin, bore on the title.
page the motto of the advanced Turk.
ish ladies': IN every nation women
are the measure Of it's civilization"
But although the editor, Asaf Muam-
mer Bey, brought a great deal of skill
and knowledge to bear on his work,
his enterprise from the first has been
a dismal failure. Then he took to H.
Illustrations, with no better result, and
finally he fell back on fashion plates
and cookery recipes. The Frankfurt
ter Zeitung says that even with these
additional attractions the circulation
of Mehasin does not exceed 400
copies.

JUDGE LURToN CONFIRMED
LaFolette Of Wisconsin Casts Only
Negative Vote.

Washington-With one negative vote
only, Judge Horace H. Lurton of Ten.
aessee was Monday confirmed as assor
ciate justice of the United States SUI
preme Court to succeed the late Rufus
w. Peckham of New York. The vote
against Judge Lurton's confirmation was
cast by Senator Robert NJ. La Toilette
of Wisconsin, who, when the Tennes-
seams nomination was presented, de-
manded a roll call. La Toilette did not
state his objections.
1t is expected Justice Lurton will
take the oath to sit on the supreme
bench when the tobacco cases come up
for argument Jan. 3. The opposition to
Judge Lurton, because of his advanced
age, and supposed obnoxious labor de-
cisi6ns, f1attened out. The progressive
Republicans, with the single exception
of La Toilette, who comprised the oppo.
%sition, examined the decisions and found
them free from the objections originally
urged. 1t was decided to offer no or

DROP IN OIL EXPORTS
SHOW DECREASE FROM I .OOO.-
900 TO ONLY 500, 263.
Oil Exporters Arc Alarmed; Start
Movement to Renew Reciprocity
Treaty, Expired.

Observation-Disclosures by a drop of .
million dollars to $26,263 in mineral oil
exports to France in a month, American
oil exporters have begun a movement.
to induce congress to renew with the
French government the reciprocity
treaty which expired on Oct. 81 last.
Exporters also hope for the renewal of
the treaty with Spain, also large i'm.
porters Of American oil, which will ex-
pire on Aug. 81, 1910.
The exports to Canada under the op-
Grafton of the new tariff law have not
been compiled yet, but indications are
that they still show relatively as great
a falling off in oil exports as those to
France.
Notwithstanding the abrogation of the
reciprocity treaty with France, the re-
ports to the bureau for November, the
first month under the new order of
things, show larger totals in both i'm
ports and exports than in the CORE
spending month of last year. Raw cot
ton, which is imported into France free
of duty and hence is not affected by
tariff changes, is largely responsible for
the increase of exports, while art works
twenty years old and over are admitted
free under the new law. Diamonds and
hides were responsible for the increased
imports. The falling off in the imports
of champagne from France, due to the
increased tariff, was most marked, de-
clining from $5S4,674 in November,
1908, to $5s,o62 in November, 1909.
