Wilcox Busy.
DREAMS VS.. FACTS
Myth of Romantic Fortune
From Willamette Sweet
DREAMS VS.. FACTS

Dreaming Is the stock in trade of
the romantic youth who languishes
now in the Hotel d Ferguson.
Alvin, Tor Ralph, Wilcox figured
in beautiful myth printed in the
Daily World last April 80. Lands
and tenants, stock, automobiles, or
chards, everything to make any
young man a prince charming in the
eyes of his lady love, were his, he
said.
His former wife has always kept
his love. She secured a divorce from
him once but he still sticks around,
hoping to be reinstated in her ten
der graces. She, Eva Wilcox, who
figured in a miserable story in the
police court here not long ago, when
she testified against her own broth
err to save some lover, is the cause
of all the young mans woe.
She will not take him back and
twice has been the means of his in
generation in the jails by informing
the officers of his whereabouts and
actions. Still, with the faithfulness
peculiar to men alone, he loves the
woman who undoes him every time
she gets a chance.
Wilcox dreamed the story of the
former sweetheart who left him
lands and automobiles, etc., and told
it to his lady love, in hopes of. once
more finding her tender arms locked
around his sun-burned neck. He
needed funds to keep up the fond de-
fusion, and stole his lady's fathers
harness. Selling the harness to a
dealer here, who buys thing second
hand, the heir to great estates was
in possession of So with which to
continue his tender business. Be-
cause of summer weather or some
other reason he felt too warm to con-
tinue in Wenatchee and left for Mon
| itor and Cashmere. From Monitor
he wrote to his lady-love again, and
babe her board a certain train for
Everett and he would join her at
Monitor.
Promptly to the sheriff went the
lady, and once more the officers
were on his track. They got him
and today he plead guilty to a charge
of petty larceny and was sentenced
by Judge Grimshaw to sixty days in
| the county Jail, where he can dream
| in peace of those estates in Oregon.

hundred feet elevation {

Twenty-Five hundred feet elevation
is the estimate made by w. T. Clark
and j. A. Seaman of the highest part
in the route for the state highway
between here and Ellensburg that
they made notes of while looking for
a better way for the state road to
connect the two cities.
Leaving here last Saturday at 3
O'Clock, they went to Trinidad and
stopped for the night. A hundred
feet of sand hill there was too much
for the great Speedwell car, and
horses were used in pulling through
the sand. That was the only in
stance on the trip when the power
full car needed help.
Sunday they arrived in Ellensburg
after ten hours of exceptionally
rough travelling, where there were
places that had never been pene-
trated by automobiles before.
They expected to reach Wenat-
chez Monday night, but had an acct
dent to the low-gear shaft when
within six miles of the summit that
compelled them to turn about and
go back to Ellensburg on the high.
The retreat was accomplished with
some excitement. About IA miles
this side of Ellensburg they came
to deep and narrow ditch that
could not be crossed in the usual
manner. The high-gear would not
have been sufficient TO raise the car
from the bottom of the ditch. Mr.
Clark had confidence in his machine
and decided to jump it over.
Remarkable Jump.
That jump was the feature of the
retreat They took the ravine at
full speed and came down on the
other side without scratch on car
or men, but with necks slightly
strained.
At Ellensburg they had repairs
made and started back at half past
nine, just six hours on the road, in
Guiding stops for supper, water and
adjustments. They used the old
Wenatchee-Ellen road, the
highest elevation of which is $500
feet. The indicator registered ex-
actly SO miles.
$500 Foot Pass.
There was no chance to take the
big machine over the route they
looked at, as the mountain sides are
too steep, but they looked it over
from vantage points and feel salts
