CHINESE AS POULTRY RAIseRs.

In view of the fact that the price
Of eggs has enormously increased in
Nmcrica and a beginning has been
made to draw on China for a supply
he question of oriental poultry is
cne of general interest. Perhaps
here is no country in the world
where there are so many domestic
fowls as in China. and yet there are
no poultry farms where chickens are
reared in quantities. says United
states Vice-Counsul Dorsey of Shang
hal. Almost every family in the
towns and villages, as well as in the
rountry. keeps a few hens. Many of
the birds of medium size laying sma
..sgs. but some breeds, such as the
iulai fowls and the Langshans, are
large and their eggs are almost If
not quite as large as those of the
Brahmas and Plymouth Rocks. 1t is
not uncommon to find hens in
The markets weighing as much as
eight pounds each.
Chickens are Matched in crude in
rubators. When the chicks are a
few days old they are carried around
in baskets and sold for about twice
The market price OF eggs. When
large enough to forage for themselves
hey are al owed to roam over the
ficlds to pick up what feed they can
lind. At night they are fed little
paddy or cooked rice left from the
meals
Hens eggs are produced and sold
IN large quantities at certain seasons.
Many are exported annua ly to Japan.
They are usually so cheap that few

The county court house at Sa suac he
was burned last week Wednesday
morning. The building and furniture
were totally destroyed. II was a two
story brick structure with the county
offices on the first floor and court
room on the second floor. 1t was
built in 1881 at a cost of So, 900.
The cause of the fire Is unknown. 1t
was discovered about 3:40 a. IN. The
alarm was sounded and practically
the whole town responded but as the
court house stood nearly half a mile
from the town hall where the fire
apparatus is kept the flames had
gained so much headway by the time
the engine and hose cart reached the
scene that all efforts were ffuiuess
There were two steel vaults and a
large safe in the building in which
the county records were kept. The
records in the vault in the clerks
office have been removed to the
county Jail and il was found that
they were not injured in the least.
The bui ding was insured for $4,000

MORE WATER IN THE VALLEY

d. j. Gibbs of Monte Vista, Colo,
who marketed three carloads of pea
fod lambs last week. thinks there Is
no doubt but that there is more
moisture now in the San Luis valley
than when he went there % years
ago. Mr. Gibbs cannot account for
this change unless caused by pow
ing up and cultivating the soil. He
was among the very first settlers in
the valley He herded cattle then
where towns and valuable farms are
now to be found. our principal mois-
ture is snow" said Mr.. Gibbs. I'VE
used to be able to feed our sheep on
the peas right in the fields. But
in recent years we have had so much
snow that the peas became damaged
and In feeding that way We find that
a great deal of the feed is wasted.
Now the next thing to be done is
TO harvest the peas and stack them
and feed them out as We would al
falfa or hay. Every old settler in
the valley knows that this increased
moisture is being distributed through
out the valley each year Potato rails
ing is also springing up. Last year
Il man in my neighborhood had pota-
toes that cleared up after all expen-
ses were deducted, S125 an acre.
Land that will do that well is bound
to attract attention. | intend to
spread out a little in the potato line
myself this spring And so divers
fled farming is on the increase. AS
We learn what we can do up there
in raising the various products
We add to the value of our lands,
and at the same time are afforded
an opportunity to make more money
than if we depend entirely on feeding
lambs, as has been the custom in the
past. / still have back about 1000
lambs on feed, but they will be
coming along now pretty fast. Other
feeders are also hurrying their lambs
to market. All who fed this win
ter made money The market has
been good, and there is every assur
ance that it will have a strong fin

II. c. Littlefield. one of the vice

He says among other things:

not three or four growers of your

furnished by each grower.
Il know what kind of fruit you
grow at Wenatchee and am sure that
it would be money making venture

Fun and Art We're blended at Thea
tire to Please Large Audience.

The lover has all the virtues
the husband all the vices" So
thought Henri Des Prunelle in the
French play, "Divorcons.' produced
at the Wenatchee theatre last even
ing by the Mack Swain company
His wife, Cyprienne. grew FESTIVE
under the neglect of her husband
and was diverting herself with atten-
lions of lover. Her husband. re-
alizing his mistake and determined
to win her love back again, adopted
a plan to deceive her into believing
that he would agree to a divorce
and let her become the wife of her
new and clandestine affinity, Ad-
hemer.
The plot in its very nature affords
rich opportunity for comedy. Both
the playwright and the players took
full advantage to give the playgoers
an evening of uproarious fun, but so
artfully and artlessly that the mem

Cora King Swain, as Cyprienne,
revealed herself as the possessor of
great diversity of talent. Last night
she was a coincidence and fully
measured up to the requirements of

band to escape her lover, is caught
by the discreet Joseph sitting upon

for a number of years and won for
himself a name as one of the fore

night, and patrons of the theatre are
learning that they must engage seats
early or run the risk of being turned

ing Attorney.
Among the candidates now in the
limelight of Chelan County politics
is Niles M. Sorenson, who is making
the campaign for the office of prose-
cutting attorney. Among the young
men of the county few are better
known than N. NJ Sorenson. He
came to Chelan County ten years
ago and spent five years in the town
of Leavenworth. Following this he
put in three years at the University
of Minnesota. He has been practic-
ing law in Wenatchee for the past
two years.
Mr. Sorenson was born in Mime
sofa, November 81, 1880. The early
years of his life were spent on the
farm and in his teens was in active
management of one of his fathers
places. During his residence in Lea
venwOrth he worked in F. A. Lose
hdHp general SlOTc. WI ycdi
ago Mr.. Sorenson formed a partner
ship with Ira Thomas of this city.
During the time spent here few have
made more friends than he. For
over a year past his name has been
discussed in connection with the Of
flee of prosecuting attorney. Should
he be elected there is no question
but that the office of prosecuting at
torney will be filled with credit to
himself as we'll as with satisfaction
to his constituents.

INDIANS
Frank Jungers Arrested at
Leavenworth on Seri-
GUS Charge.

| Prosecuting Attorney Kemp went
a preliminary hearing before George
P. Rice of Frank Jungers. He was
arrested by Night Mrashal John
Pratt the evening before, on a
charge of selling liquor to two In
dams named Simon and Pete Major.
Jungers was seen talking to two
Indians on the street and because of
the circumstances and previous mis-
demeanors he was watched. The In
dams have been obtaining liquor
from some source and Jungers had
been suspected before.
After talking to the red skins for
few moments the Indian Simon was
seen to hand Jungers something and
the latter then went into saloon.
A few moments later he returned and
handed what proved to be bottle
of whisky to Simon. Leaving man
to watch Jungers, Marshal Pratt fol-
lowed the Indians. Pete Major stop
ped but Simon ran. The marshal,
however, caught him. He denied
having any liquor upon him. The
officer searched him and found pint
of whisky.
In the preliminary hearing jung
ers pleaded guilty and was bound
over to the superior court, under
$500 bond. Failing to provide the
amount of the bond he was brought
to Wenatchee and is now in the coun-
ty Jail.
Jungers has wife and family, for
whom there is much sympathy. He
has been drinking considerably and
has caused the LeavenwOrth police
much trouble, being arrested fire.
