The MethOW VALLEY.

If the Methow valley were farmed
as intensely as is the island Of Japan
it would support a population of s.
1000, according to Guy Waring, Of
the Methow Trading company, who
has made a study of the situation.
Many years will elapse, however,
before such a condition will be ne
cessary. The Methow valley, how
ever, is sure of dense population. In
few years there will be family
on every ten acres. Ten acres is
enough to give ample support to a
family when it is in fairly good
state of cultivation and a bearing or
chard of five acres will keep a fam
lily in ease and comfort.
At the present time the country is
primarily a cattle district.

Old Friend of Roosevelt's

Guy Warning, of Twisp, headed the
committee in charge of arrangements
at that place and accompanied the
committee from the Wenatchee Com
mercial club through on their trip
over the upper end of the valley.
Mr.. Waring is an old friend of
Theodore Roosevelt. While in Har-
ward they belonged to the same club.
Ever since leaving college the two
have been in constant communica-
ton. Asked if at the time he was
in college Roosevelt showed any of
those traits which mark him now as
the greatest man in the United States.
Mr.. Waring said:
Yes, he did When in college
Roosevelt was recognized as man
of great strength of character as we'll
as a great student.
AT the time l knew him first he
was about 20 years of age. He came
from a sterling old Dutch family in
New York. He inherited strength of
character.
HE always stood among the high
est in his classes.
His health was not good. In or
der to improve it he took part in
every kind of athletic exercise to i'm
prove it. He was very near sighted
and had to wear his glasses even in
boxing.
LAS young man he had that

Okanogan and Omak.

Those who visited Okanogan and
Omak on the recent trip are of the
opinion that only a few years will
elapse before the towns of Okanogan
and Omak will be united. 1t is now
q distance of four miles between the
two places. The road between the
two places ought, in very few
years, become boulevard in front OF
the homes, while at the rear of the
orchards will be the river front.
Pogue Flat, now under the gov
eminent ditch, has a family on every
40 acres. With proper advertising
of this district there ought to be a
family on every ten within five years

The Duck Brand Saloon

Asked if Roosevelt had any stock
in the company which owned the
famous Duck Brand saloon at Win
throp, Mr.. Waring said:
Il do not know now that report
got out. At any rate there is no
truth in it. Roosevelt never had any
stock in the Methow Trading COM
pany, and never was interested in the
Duck Brand saloon"
The Duck Brand saloon was in
stalled by the Methow Trading COM
pany at Twisp, and was conducted
for years as the Ideal saloon" LII
quor was sold according to the "spir-
it and letter of the law" No man
was given enough to make him
drunk. No drunkards were given or
sold any intoxicants whatever. The
saloon was maintained by the COM
pany for the purpose of keeping out
one of the poorer class. The institu-
ton was run at a loss every year.
Guy Warning, the head of the Met
how company, is a man of practical
ideas, and established it to see if
there could not be some way pro-
vided to solve the problem of the
liquor traffic Some of the reformers
of New York city, among them Rev.
Parkhurst, established one in that
city after the same idea (said to be
patterned after the Duck Brandt but
it failed. The Duck Brand lost
money every year, and its owners adj
vertised that fact. 1t was closed
year ago.

|WASATWENATCHEE
IN 1858
I. A. Burgett Of Winthrop is
One of the Pioneers of
the State.

One of the most interesting char
acterS met by the members of the
commercial club on their recent trip
through the Okanogan was |. A. Bur-
gett of Pearrygn lake, who visited
the Wenatchee valley way back in
1852 years ago.
Mr.. Burgett came from California
and was headed north to the Fraser
river These were the days when the
gold strike was made in that region
to the north. Mr.. Burgett in describ-
ing the trip said:
There were thirty of us in the
party. We made our way up the Co.
lumbia river. When we got to the
place where Wenatchee now stands,
some of the boys went up to Mission,
now Cashmere. Here the Indians
were given some whiskey. A fight

few years. 1t means a duplication
of the Wenatchce valley.
The Influence of Early Set.
tiers.

Wenatchee is today feeling the in
fluence of her early settlers. This
city was fortunate a few years ago
when it was small in having as some
of its citizens some public spirited
men, Among these were such men
as Arthur Gum, J. A. Gellatly, H
c. Littlefield, w. R. Prowell, A. z.
Wells, L. V. Wells, Marvin Chase, w
7. Clark, Ira D. Edwards, f. NJ
Scheble, o. B. Fuller, U. G. Pogue,
Guy c. Browne, Chas. Harlin, A. A
Piper, and a few others who ought
to be included.
The cooperative spirit with which
these men worked set the pace for
those of us who followed. AS a re-
suit Wenatchee today is recognized
as a community where cooperation
has worked to the great benefit of all.
The members of the Wenatchee
Commercial club who visited the
Okanogan last week can see in sew
eral sections places where the work
of the early settlers is bound to bring
results in the future.
This seems to be particularly true
with respect to the town of Okano-
gan. Among this number are Judge
Brown, Mayor Kerr, Messrs. For
syth, Lee, Pratt, and some others who
really ought to be given in this list.
To this must be added the name of
one of the most likable newspaper
men in the state of Washington, o.
H. Woody, editor of the Okanogan
Independent.
These men have assumed the in
itiative in matters along the lines of
public bettermept, and the coming
years will feel the result of the start
already made.

The Triplets- Methow, Okla
hogan, Wenatchee.

The trip made by the Wenatchee
Commercial Club through the Okano-
gan country will go down as one of
of the most interesting events of
not mean merely that the members of
the party made a little trip through
the country. The circumstances con-
nected with the trip rather are des-
tined to be of great Importance in the
future development of North Central
Washington.
The members of the club who made
the. trip have ben utterly lost for
want of words to express their en-
thusiasm as we'll as their apprecia-
tion of the reception rendered them
throughout the entire trip.
What it Means.
Il know what it MEANS" said the
chairman of the 'Twisp delegation,
cit means the amalgamation of the
several ulSIIlCIS VI 4NOl LII SClltl al
Washington. The people of Methow,
Okanogan and Wenatchee valleys
have been singularly devoid of petty
quarrels and this trip was the most
important one made towards drawing
the thre districts into one great
union
The Same Problems.
Each of the three districts has
the same problems. The Wenatchee
valley recognizes that it has its neigh
bors in the Methow and OkanOgan
valleys, people of the same type as
those who reside here. AS a fruit
region both of the valleys of the
Okanogon are in every way equal to
the Wenatchee valley. They have
one advantage, that of being larger.
1t takes a Wenatchee man to appre-
ciate the upper country. When ask
de by man from the Okanogan as
to what he thought of the country,
a Wenatchee man said: We believe

PaterOS.

Pateros is the gateway to the Met
how. There is a good area of irri-
gable territory closely adjoining it
It will soon have a railroad and it
now has a river. A railroad, a river,
a good country back of it and an
energetic class of people behind them
all make pretty good combination
Pateros ought to become place OF
constantly increasing Importance.

cities. This human element is in
evidence in the up-river country. The
liveliest towns in north central Wash
ingtOn are those where the people
themselves have made it so. When
you find quiet, sleepy old town, it
is because the people there have al
lowed themselves and the town to get
into that condition.

United States is getting scarce. Great
numbers of people are headed from
the congested portions of the east to
places where land is more plentiful
and opportunities are greater. AS a
result Of these two conditions, the
two great valleys to the north will
see a rapid development.

The Future of Brewster.

The town of Brewster has a lOca-
ton which ought to make it city
of considerable Importance. With
10000 acres of irrigable land, with
railroad and a river, Brewster will
become city of 5000 within five
years if the proper efforts are put
forth for it's development.

Where Development Must Come
From
The development of the two sister
valleys must come from the Wenat-
chez valley. Wenatchee from this
time on will produce from two to five
million dollars worth of fruit an
nualy. The fruit experts of Wenat-
chez valley find a prototype of local
conditions in either of the valleys
to the north
Better Than Wireless Stock.
Some of the fruit growers of the
Wenatchee valley put their superflu-
Gus cash into wireless stock. Agents
of many different companies are in
Wenatchee from time TO time to grab
off bunch of money from the fruit
grower to invest it for him as it
were. Instead of putting the thous-
ands of dollars into worthless stocks
and bonds, concerning which he
knows nothing, the Wenatchee in
weston will find in the Okanogan
country two of the finest valleys for
investments in the entire United
States.
Many Irrigation Enterprises.
One of the things with which the
members of the Commercial Club
were struck was the large acreage
now being brought under irrigation
in the Okanogan and Methow valleys
The government project covers TO-
900 acres alone, then there are a
dozen more projects of lesser size.
In the Methow valley many broad
acres are being irrigated. In the vi
cinity of Twisp and Winthrop thous-
ands of acres are being brought I'M
der the ditch. In both these places
the members of the party could plain
ly read the signs of the times. Those
who went on that trip through the
Okanogan know what it means. They
know what it means within a very

projects in the Okanogan or any
other country there stands the hui
man element. 1t takes men to build

resulted, and five Indians were kill
ed. AS soon as the boys could get
away from Cashmere, they came
down to where Wenatchee now
stands and we headed on up the
river. There was at this time no
settlers in the whole Wenatchee
Valley.
1--WE headed northward up the
Columbia river to the mouth of the
Okanogan, along the trail by the
Chilawich, which flows into the Ok
anogan river. We saw two dead In
dams. A fight had occurred between
the Indians and one of the parties
which had gone ahead of us. This
fight was by what was known as the
Burke party, now of Twisp. Two of
the party were killed.

Prof. R. E. Tumble, the horticul-
tural expert, has the following to
say fthe horticultural possibilities
of the Okanogan-Methow country:
There is the largest amount Of
valuable apple land in the upper
river country capable of development
of anywhere in the northwest. The
soil, for the most part, is excellent
for winter apples, especially the
bunch grass soil on the Brewster
Flats and up the Okanogan river in
and surrounding the government pro-
ject. The climatic condition is ex-
cellent for winter apples. There is
no question but that apples grown
in this region will be of superior
keeping quality. This is the place for

to develop an excellent orchard
