CORN STALKS.

Little-Wetsel are in receipt of a
letter from Columbia river rancher

Little Wetsel, Wenatchee. Wash.
Dear Sirs: / have a bunch OF
hogs that will dress 125 pounds, five
of them will make more, two will
go Is or better. I have more but
will try to run them longer. The
town yaps are doing great bowling
about the high priced pork but / am
here to tell you if they want to eat
meat they will pay for it. For those
hogs have cost me IS for every tooth
in their head If the town yaps
think meat can be raised on corn
stalks they will find it out now and
the time is not far off. The farmer
is long enough working for nothing
There is more than one to be fed
in Washington now and the more the
merrier. Write at once, as am 60

studied deeply into ancient and mod
ern languages.

SAYS PULPIT IS
MUzZ[ED
Local. DIVINE SAYS CHRIST DIS
CUsssED POILTICS-IsSUE OF
THE INSURGENTS. A MORAL
ONE.

The ministry is made poor and
kept poor and made hirelings so
that the interests by Withholding the
salary can silence the pulpit when it
is constrained to speak some truth
that the interests and the forces for
evil do not wish to hear, was the sub
stance of DR.. Stevenson's sermon last
night on "Muzzling the Pulpit"
Down in Washington they are try
ing to raise the rate on second class
mail matter so that the magazines.
which have as yet not been muzzled
by the capitalistic interests, will be
made too expensive for the people.
Tho magazines have enlightened the
people but the capitalists want them
muzzled," declared the speaker. "The
forces for evil and the criminally
rich are both trying to close the
mouths of the ministers of the truth
but if the ministers are to be more
than mere false prophets or hire
lings they must declare the truth and
speak of the dangers that are latent
in certain social movements.
Some say that the pulpit should
say nothing about politics. The pro-
phets dealt in the realm of the po-
litical and the Master poured forth
the most scathing criticism on the
scribes and Pharasees, the political
rulers of his day. Over on the coast
there is a man who is the king of
the white slave traffic and he wishes
to become mayor of Seattle. Influ-
ences are being brought to bear upon
the pulpits of that city to keep them
silent in this political struggle. If
the pulpits are silent at this time the
moral advance will he retarded Is
years. If they are silent they are not
true prophets and the very stones
of the street will cry out
In the national political arena DR..
Stevenson pointed out that the issue
as presented by the insurgents was
moral issue.
This is the second declaration that
has come from a Wenatchee pulpit
that the insurgent issue is moral
one, Rev. J. w. Johnson, of the Bap-
fist church, also having come out
boldly in this great fight now involv-
ing the whole American republic.

SIX REPRESENTA-
|T|VES N CONGRESS
CENSUS SUPERVISOR sTORCH
PREDICTS THAT CENSUS WILL
SHOW REMARKABLE IN
CREASE IN POPULATION.

Spokane, Jan. 31.-Owing to the
wonderful growth of eastern Wash
ington during the past ten years, it
is predicted by Census Supervisor
Storch that Washington will be en-
titled to six representatives instead
OF three as at present, according to
the new enumeration. The Third dis
trict, in which Spokane is situated,
had a population of $4,000 in 1900,
but this has been more than dou-
bled in the past ten years. Accord
ing to the census enumerator 1t is
reasonable to expect that this dis
trict will show q population of over
100000, with Spokane holding 150,-
900 of that number. The census of
1900 gave the city of Spokane &c.
848 which, according to the latest
figures, shows that the city has
quadrupled in population in ten
years THE census will tell story
of marvellous growth said Mr..
Storch, land both the city and sur
rounding country will show a won
derful increase that I doubt will be
equalled by any other section of the
United States"
Chief Statistician Hunt has been
in the city for some days comforting
with the enumerators and supervisor
and made the prediction that the
new census would make a great diff
ference in the next house of repre-
sentatives.

Would Divide Okanogan.

Hon. w. A. Bolinger and wife
came up last Friday and remained
over Saturday in Twisp, paying a
long-overdue visit to their many
friends in this section of the valley.
While her they were guests of Editor
and Mrs. H. E. Marble, of the News
Mr.. Bolinger is taking an active in
terest in the question of the division
of the county, and thinks the time
is here when it should be divided. He
realizes the big expense of running
the present large county, also that
it is cut up to such an extent by
mountain ranges that the different
sections can never be made to have
interests In common Mountain
ranges will provide natural division
lines, and he believes If the people
will take an active interest in look
ing up the matter there will be little
to quarrel about the division. The
matter OF county seat of the proposed
Methow county can be submitted at
once to vote, following division, so
that every aspiring town for county
seat honors may have an equal show,
and the people will locate the seat
of government where best suited to
the majority. He desires to particu-
larly impress the necessity OF Twisp
sending delegation to the good
roads convention at Aberdeen on Feb
ruary % and "a. He will try to &C

ASKSHELP FORAEN
CLUB
COMMITTEE WANTS WENATCHEE
PEOPLE TO BE GENEROUS IN
ASSISTING IN THE OBLIGATORY
EXERCISES.

The new commercial club building
will be fully completed and opened
to the public, February II. 1910, un-
der the direction of the building COM
mittee. We hoppe every one will ap-
preciate the effortssof this committee
in carrying this through with the sue
cess they have. 1t certainly is cred
it to Wenatchee. We know of no
other community in the northwest
that can boast of building equal to
1t.
Including furniture, this building
will represent a valuation of not
less than $4,000. The committee
feels that the building should be
dedicated with proper ceremony and
respect; that every member of the
commercial club should attend with
his lady, and that every other public
spirited man or woman living near
Wentachee should give the club and
this committee his support by attend
ing the opening, In order that they
may do so the price of tickets has
been placed at only SIS per couple.
When you realize that many theatres
and other buildings of much less pub
lie Importance are opened at a charge
of from $40 to s25, this price will
seem too low rather than being high.
The committee hopes to realize a
goodly sum from the sale of these
tickets, all receipts above expenses
going to make payment on the
building itself. AS in the construc-
ton of all buildings, there were some
extras, such as hard wood floor in
the main hall. wall decorations. bur-
lap wafnscoting, that were not in the
original contract. Then, too. the fur
niture and light fixtures expense was
unexpectedly placed with the build
ing committee to meet in whatever
way it might devise.
ReailZ1ng the great amCunt or goo
the club az an organization has been
to this valley, the committee has
willingly put in a great amount OF
time and energy. The extent to
which Wenatchee is known through
out the east, the extending of markets
for our fruits, involving the greater
demand for our fruit, the apprecia-
ton OF prices of land here by which
every man who has been property
owner has benefited, have all come
about through the efforts of the COM
mercial club and should be appre-
ciated. The results have been indi-
rect and therefore harder to trace,
but they have been attained and
everyone ought to express his kindly
feeling toward the club at this time
by purchasing one or more tickets to
the grand opening. The payment oil
IS will only partially pay back to
the club the benefit you have re-
ceived There have been no formal
invitations issued. You are cordial
ly invited

{ By w. ID. S.
3 !, "a. 80: 49, XnNRMmhhnhhhhn

Most everybody rode on horse back
to the church at the Grove. The
young men were on the look out to
help down and hitch their sweetheart's s
horse, after preaching to escort his
girl to the mounting block.
Tow Acking watched the door for
the appearance OF Vera HiX. and
walking up to her, asked for the priv
ilege OF seeing her home. She turned
and kicked out one foot at him. and
walked off. Tom followed. and she
turned on him with the exclamation.
why don't YOU leave, don't you see
have already kicked you?" Vera had
heard the girls talking so much about
kicking the boys she though she would
have to do some of it. And in her
simplicity, she gave Tom some of the
real shin kicking in order to turn
down the young man. What nice
time the young folks had running
horse races! Better than riding now
in rubber tired buggies, with fifteen
men Doddies, with hardly room enough
for two feet, let alone four feet.
