TREES, IS BOXES
DIR. Pogue's Orchard Sets High Mark
in OkanOgan County Production

Omak, Wash, Oct 26-Eighty-
five boxes of Spitzenberg apples
from three trees is the crop taken
from DR.. j. |. Pogue's orchard this
season. The trees are the only ones
of that variety in bearing in the or
chard. One of the trees yielded 35
boxes alone. From this crop five
boxes were selected by DR.. Pogue
which he will donate to the Okano-
gan Valley Publicity League for ex-
hibition purposes at the valley eX-
hibit at the Chicago Land Show in
November. The fruit selected is four
tier and will stand comparison with
any fruit in the country.
Official Photographer Kiser of the
Great Northern railroad, who was in
this locality recently and took pic
lures of the orchard, stated that they
were the finest trees he had ever
seen and the apples were the larg-
est, most uniform and had the high
est color of any Spitzenberg apples
he had ever gaZei at. One limb
from these trees, six feet in length
produced 50 apples, all of them per-
feet specimens of their kind.

]. D, ATKINSON
At HEAD Of
COMPANY
To Develop Marble Industry
North of Leaven-
worth.

A marble quarry more valuable
than any gold mine in America is
about to be developed in Chelan
county 1t is located eleven miles
north of Leavenworth, six miles from
the Wenatchee & Northern railway.
This property is owned by the
Alaska Marble Mountain company of
Seattle. of which John D. Atkinson
is president. They have been oper-
ating a large marble quarry in Alas
ka and will promote this new Chelan
county proposition at once. On that
account Mr.. Atkinson has decided to
give his entire time to the work and
has resigned his position as president
Of the Pioneer Fire Insurance COM
pany.
Several examinations have been
made recently and all reports are to
the effect that a remarkable find has
been made. The state university
chemist has made an analysis of the
marble and declares it superior to
any now being quarried in the United
States and equal to the famous
Carrara marble of Italy in some por-
tons. The average purity of marble
is Sc per cent limestone Plenty of
this product averages 9S.40 per cent
pure.
Further examination of the extent
of the deposit will be made, AMI if it
is found to be all that reports indi>
cate up TO this time, two million
dollar plant will be erected to take
out the valuable stone rapidly.
With plant of the right size such
as can be installed at the above cost.
it is estimated that annual net pro-
fits of ten million dollars can be
made. No gold mine in the world
can equal such returns.
One expert says that if the vein
proves to be 800 feet in depth, an
acre of the deposit is worth at the
present market prices of marble
$77.875. 200. The extent of the de-
post seems to be almost limitless.
Not only is the marble of the very
best quality for building purposes
but sculptors say that they find Car
rara marble in no way superior for
making statuary.
Mr.. Atkinson is reported as desir-
Gus of having a number of represen-
tative business men from this city
making a visit to the quarry for the
purpose of investigating the property
and making a report which can be
used in promoting the proposition II
it is found to be worthy one.

BriSkey Passed Away.

VIM. Briskey passed away at his
home in Cashmere. last night. Dur
inb the day his pulse was strong, but
in the evening a sinking spell caused

He made hasty run in his auto but
found Mr.. Briskey had died half
hour before arrival. The aged man s
strength was not sufficient to with

After the luncheon was over, Pres
ident Strahorn of the North Coast
railroad, who was present, took DR..
King aside and asked him for fur
Their figures regarding the future ton
mage of the Wenatchee valley. He
wanted to know if the figures given
out by the various speakers were
actually true. His earnest manner
showed that he was greatly
impressed by the attractiveness of
North Central Washington as a field
for railroad development.
A peculiar coincidence occurred
when, after the luncheon, an auto
mobile trip was arranged by Presi-
dent Van Dissell of the National APP
pie show. While returning from
Fort Wright the party was delayed
at the Great Northern railroad cross
ing on account of a long train of re-
frigerator cars labeled "Wenatchee
Apples" This afforded another OBJ
ject lesson to the Spokane men.
In the evening banquet was given
at the Silver Grill by Messrs. Nc
Lean and Moody. NJ. J. Costello was
present and was in a very happy
mood.
The Spokane papers all agree that
Wenatchee day was the most sue
cessful event of the kind yet pulled
off at any of the chamber of COM
merce luncheons. The Spokesman
Review gives the story big headlines
and describes the event as follows

tatives Of the Wenatchee CONNER

utes, the meeting was by far the

time
With the introduction of DR.. d.
w. King, president of the commercial
club of Wenatchee. by President c.
NJ. Fassett of the Spokane cham Der,
the scene changed from the serious
to the humorous. DR.. King, on TAX
ing the floor, Immediately assumed
the role of interlocutor and was as
sisted by an all-star cast of We

tlefield, manager of the Farmers

o. Thompson, president of the Farm
ers and Merchants bank: w. T.
Clark, president of the First Ma
tional bank: T. H. Atkinson, ranch
err, and G. W. Coburn, secretary of
the visiting club.
Mixes Poetry and Slang.
After warming up with a short
speech portraying the Wenatchee
country, at times getting as flowery
as a poet with an inspiration and at
the next minute springing the latest
form of slang, DR.. King called on
many of his associates for talks on
the Wenatehee country.
The proceedings opened with ques-
lions from DR.. King, which came as
follows:
DR.. King-What is the population
of Wenatchee?
Wenatchee chorus-Ten thousand
when we left. (Applause).
DR.. King-How many boosters?
Chorus-Five hundred and sixty

Story of Wenatchee Told.
!. Thomas H. Atkinson made the adj
dress of the day as regards the de-
velOpment of the Wenatchee valley,
and he laid great stress on the pos
sibilities of his country and great
plans for the future were extensive
ly gone into. In part, he said:
Il will endeavor TO show why the
country comprising the Wenatchee
valley is different from any other
section of the world, and when l am
through | believe that you will agree
with me. In the first place We have
an ideal climate, which you must ad-
NIT is great deal in our favor. On
both sides of the valley are giant
mountain ranges. where snow lies
nearly the year round.
Other districts have TO use
smudge pots to protect their crops
from the frost, but these articles are
entirely unknown to us. The con-
slant cold current of air that sinks
down from this snow retards the buds
of our trees until the summer is adj
vansed and the ground is warm.
There is no premature budding of
the trees and consequently We are
never bothered with the frost.
High Prices Obtained.
I'VE are able to grow the fancies,
APPLE on earth and to command the
best prices in all markets of the
world. Our output in carload lots
this season will amount to $500, and
we expect to increase it TO 5000
next year.
The all-wise Creator was good
to the Wenatchee valley and while
man has done much since the advent
of the first white man Al years ago,
there is still room for improvement
and I will venture to say that In ten
years the North Central Washington
