CheIan County District-Organized
1900.

It will be noticed that the census
figures for the years 1906 and 1909
are less than those of the respective
years previous. Also the census for
the year 1900 showed less children
of school age than was actually en-
rolled in the schools. The cause OF
this seeming decrease is said by
those who know, to be in reality
due to poor census taking.

Rapidly Increased T tonnage of Road
Has Justified the Building of One
of the HandsOmeSf DepOts on the
Line of the G. N.--Spent 100000
in Construction Work

The splendid new depot of the
Great Northern railway is completed.
This depot is a part of the dreams
of the pioneers, those hardy men who
came here a few years ago bringing
their pack trains with them and SUBJ
sisting from the barren land as best
they could
Less than 25 years ago there were
only five families living where this
proud city is standing now, and for
long time there was little increase
in the population. Except for the
occasional water wheel, irrigation
was deemed impractical, and when
the country was untried they did
not feel justified in going to the
great expenses that have been fea-
ture of the last decade.
But when the ball of progress
finally got under way the sage
brush and the rabbit disappeared
fast.
In 1892 the Great Northern rail-
way came-over the sand and the
rocks, driving the wall of the lone
some wolf before the shrek of the
iron horse. Eighteen years have
passed and today a modern building,
of stone and brick, and thing finish,
stands as monument to the coun-
try's wealth-wealth that came from
big red apples.
In the early days before the ap-
pies lent their rosy hues to every
thing that they were placed beside,
the masters of the Wenatchee soil
and the coming millionaires of this
budding empire fed the railroad
with garden truck, cantaloupes and
berries, watermelons, and crops that
matured quick, but all were planting
apples and today a special building
stands northward from the depot for
no other purpose than just to house
the apple shipments waiting to be
moved.
In the five years past this valley
has given up $5.000,000 worth of
fruits, an increasing amount every
year and the splendid new home of
the Great Northern railway stands as
an enduring monument I. the efforts
of Pomona's votaries.
The building is 1876 feet by SO feet
wide, with a canopy at either end
and extending 80 feet more, making
the entire structure 220 feet from
canopy to canopy.
Two spacious waiting rooms are
provided for the comfort of those
who will wait for trains The ladies'
room is 20 feet long and extends
across the buildings width. The
room for men adjoins it, with the
ticket window and passageway In
between. The mems room is rs by
SO, and both are floored with hard
thing on Terazo base, and an enam-
eled wainscc ating reaches five feet
upward from the floor.
Every room in the building Is spa
cious and the appointments are Of

Finally the bonds were placed at

Warrants Were Stolen.
The contract for the first part of
the Stevens building was let to a
man by the name of Peacock. At
ter the foundation was built Pea
cock induced the board to issue
$500 worth of warrants, saying that
he needed them in order to use as
security so he could borrow some
money to complete his work.
Peacock sold them to the First
National bank of Seattle-and then
skipped The school board notified
the bank at Ellensburg where it
had its account, to refuse payment,
which it did.
The Seattle bank brought action
to enforce the Wenatchee district
but the latter won the suit in the
courts on the ground that the war;
rants were obtained fraudulently

of the city, fought the case for the

department that the city has today.
In time the public sentiment was
strong enough to warrant organizing
and on the 2Sth of December, 1906
the Wenatchee Volunteers became a
company. ]. E. Ferguson was made
the chief in recognition of his un-
ceasing efforts for the cause. After
him ]. ]. O'Connor was made assist
ant chief. Sixteen others signed the
roster and made history as the char
ter members of Wenatchee's fire de-
partment. On that roll of honor are
the names of l.. o. Hall, c. E. Stohl
T. L. Ross, B. j. Williams, R. T
Woodruff, D. N. Gellatly, J. ]. O'Con-
nor, H. E. Johnson, ]. E. Ferguson
H. E. Scheble, Rufus Woods, Clifford
Godfrey, A. Smith, Harry Taylor, O.
E. Anderson and Charles A. Harlin
Mayor-Elect Scheble was elected an
honorary member.
The company was soon divided into
three, known as Hose No. 1, Hose No.
p and Chemical, and later, when the
big Combination" was purchased by
the city, another company was Great
ed, known as Chemical No. 1.
Those were stormy days, and the
Combination" was not obtained
without a struggle. The city was not
in harmony with the idea, and the
firemen fought fight that they have
not forgotten yet. In the end they
got the wagon, but had to furnish
the team for it themselves. To this
day the city of Wenatchee is protect
ed by the firemen's bounty, for with
out that splendid team there would
be no means of getting the heavy APP
paratus to a fire in time for it to be
of service. Proud as the city is, those
horses are not it's property.
In 1907, on the 10Th of March,
Chief Ferguson was succeeded by T.
L. Ross, with j. e. Throw in second
place AMI Secretary-Treasurer F. G..
Godfrey was elected to succeed him
self.
The following year J. e. Throw be-
came the chief on the 9Th of March.
B. J. Williams was elected to the
second place and Godfrey continued
as before.
Last year Throw continued in his
office, with A. j. Van Landingham
as his assistant. Early In this pres
ent year Chief Throw was recognized
by the city and became city officer
with powers to actas chief with full
authority.
During the years since December
rs, 1906, the department has gone
through trials and vicissitudes toe
many to be mentioned here, but a
better day has come Today the de.
partment has home that is modern
roomy and abreast of all Wenatchee's
greatness.

and three of them are drawing sal

Wenatchee will soon dedicate
one of the finest, most modern and
complete high school buildings in
the Pacific Northwest. Built at a
cost of $4,000 this structure is ar
ranged with all modern ideas of
school architecture. Beside having
the regular recitation and study
rooms this building is complete
with a fine large auditorium with
a capacity of 400 pupils. 1t also
has a gymnasium with steam and
shower baths and dressing rooms.
The superintendent and his secre-
tary will each have elegant quar-
tiers and the district clerk will also
have a place to stay.
The following departments will
also be provided with quarters:
Physical laboratory, domestic sci
ence, manual training, chemical
laboratory, biological department
with suitable aquarium.
Large Campus and Parks.
One of the features of the new
building is its beautiful surround
ings The trees planted in this ad-
dition are now large enough for
shade and two small parks laid off
two years ago are in close proxim-
ity to the high school.
Back of the building is a fine
large campus suitable for outdoor
games. and extensive enough for a
football gridiron.
Wenatchee's First School.
Wenatchee's first school was held
in the old Ford building on the cor
ner of Wenatchee and Orondo ave-
nues. This was before the organi-
cation of the district. Under the
provisions of the state law at that
time before securing the formation
of a district it was necessary that
there be five months of school kept
up by private funds. Under the
above provisions school was opened
in Wenatchee in the fall Of 1890.
There were six pupils and the
teacher was Miss Swartz.
District Organized.
The first school under the Wen
atchee district was opened in 1892.

The school during the year 1892
was taught by Prof. Moore. In
the spring of 1898 Mrs. L. v. Wells
was elected to assist Mr.. Moore.

The Stevens school building was
begun in 1898 In the fall. Objec-
