A PRAYER.
Let me do my work each day: and
II the darkened hours of despair over
come ne, may l not forget the
strength that comforted me in the des.
oiatlon OF other times.
May | still remember the bright
hours that found me walking over the
silent hills of my childhood or dream
ing on the margin of the quiet river,
when light glowed within me. and
promised my early God to have cour-
age amid the tempests of the chang
ing years
Spare me from bitterness and from
the sharp passions of unguarded mo-
ments.
May I not forget that poverty and
riches are OF the spirit.
Though the world know me not. may
my thoughts and actions be such as
shall keep me friendly with myself.
Lift mine eyes from the earth, and
let me not forget the uses of the
stars.
Forbid that I should Judge others
lest | condemn myself. Let m not
follow the clamor of the world, but
walk calmly in my path.
Give me a few friends who will love
me for what | am; ard keep ever
burning before my vagrant steps the
kindly light of hope.
And though age and infirmity over
take me. and l come not within sight
of the castle of my dreams. teach me
still to be thankful for life, and for
time's-olden memories that are good
and sweet; and may the evenings
twilight find me gentle still.

CONTRACT IS VOID
Supreme Court Rules Okanogan
Builder Can Recover Only Cost
,, Price of the Bridge.

Olympia, Wash, Oct. 13.-The
contract let by the commissioners of
Okanogan county for bridge across
the river at the town of Okanogan
to the Puget Sound Bridge and
Dredging company and Charles Dat
enberg, is declared by the supreme
court null and void. The superior
court is directed to determine whe-
ther the contract price exceeded the
reasonable cost of the bridge, and if
so the county should recover the diff
ference from the contractors.
This refund is directed in the
face of the fact that property own
ers of Okanogan city contributed to
the county half of the cost of the
bridge. The county commissioners
let the contract for the bridge with
out calling for bids, declaring that
an emergency existed, and did not
obtain the permission of the war de-
partment for bridging a navigable
stream. The lower court dismissed
the action to restrain the county, and
tn econtract was completed and the
bridge built while the suit was pend
ing on appeal.
In declaring the contract void the
supreme court refused to permit the
contractor to be mulcted for the full
amount, but rules, as indicated
above, that he shall be compensated
only for the cost of the bridge.

Refusal of County Superintendent Bowersox to Change
Date of Teachers Institute Intensifies the Apple

The apple picking emergency is
again in a more complicated diem
ma than before. The county super-
intendent has issued an ultimatum
refusing to change the date of the
Teachers Institute to week earlier
In order to make the pupils of the
schools available for work in the or

best speakers secured for the insti-
tute will be unable to come next
week. He also declares the school
board members have the power to
dismiss the schools at any time they
see fit, if they consider an actual
emergency exists. This would indi-
cate that he would shift the respon-
sibility from his shoulders to the
board.
All reports are to the effect that
picking is proceeding at very slow
pace. The growers, many of them,
do not seem to realize the importance

APPEAL COMMISSION
Farmers Warehouse Co. Appeals
from G. y. Freight Rate.

The Farmers Warehouse at Quin-
cy has told its troubles to the state
railroad commission. Sometime ago
the company had shipment of
wheat in bulk and ordered two cars
without reservation as to capacity.
Two S0,000-pound cars were sent.
The wheat filled one and $4,000
pounds in another. The company
charged for the capacity of both cars,
hence the shippers complaint. The
commission has opened no negotia-
tons with the railroad company, but
it is said that the members are not
altogether satisfied that, under the
circumstances, any relief could be
granted.

WOULD BUY ORCHARD
Chicago Man 20 Years OF Age Seeks
Information Regarding
Wenatchee.

The Wenatchee Commercial Club
is in constant receipt of inquiries
from all over the world regarding;
the purchasing of fruit land and
bearing orchards. 1t is the policy of
the club to put this correspondence
on file, where at all times it is sub
ject to the inspection Of all members
in good standing.
For some uneyplainable reason the
real estate men in this city fail TO
take advantage of this opportunity.
Some of them have tried it and say
that they have worked their steno-
sraphers overtime and spent consid-
cradle amounts of money in postage
and stationery, but very seldom get
results. However that may be, the
fact remains that the many inquiries
coming TO the club are seldom an
swered by any one other than the
secretary. AS an illustration of the
character of these inquiries, the let
ter which follows was received this

Chicago. Oct. 10, 1910.

Married Life.

Last evening at $50 O'Clock at
the home of the brides father, Rev.
Graves, of Douglas street, occurred
the marriage of his daughter, Mable,
to Prof. F. B. Nance.
1t was very pretty but quiet lit

friends and relatives were present.
The bride was becomingly dressed
in a gown of rose-colored silk and
carried a beautiful bouquet of white
carnations. The groom wore the
conventional black.
Mr.. and Mrs. Nance were the re-
cipients of many beautiful and use
full presents as token of the high
esteem in which the young couple are
held in the community.
The bride is well and favorably
known having been a resident of the
valley for the past four years. The
groom is one of Wenatchee's success
full ward principals.
The young people will take up
their home on Cascade street
Mr.. and Mrs. Nance have the con-
CALCULATIONS of wide circle of
friends.
Shortly after the wedding a group
of about 10 young people, most of
them pupils of Mr.. Nance, called at
the Graves residence and gave the
bride ana groom an old-fashioned
chrivari. Mr.. Nance furnished the
wherewithal for a candy treat and
the money was expended in a down

To SELL MINE
Pete Haningsman Struck it
Rich Up North - Will
Change His Name.

Pete Haningsman, pioneer Of
this valley, who has spent most of
his time in Alaska for the past five
years, has returned from the north.
Next week he will leave here for Bos-
ton to confer with syndicate Of cap
italists regarding the sale Of mine
in which he holds fourth interest
If the sale is made, the consideration
is to be $13S,OOO. This is merely a
third of the holdings of Haningsman
and his associates.
The property is located on Valdez
creek, 24O miles above Valdez. To
reach it every step of the distance is
made by trail. Carrying in supplies
and hauling out ore is done at cost
of forty cents pound. And yet the
mines are rich enough to pay big re-
The claims were located three
years ago and have been worked con-
tinuously since that time. About
$4,000 has been taken out of the
property by the three men, They
worked IA men all last year and have
employed from 16 to Is this season.
Wages for the least skilled labor are
So per day and board Feeding the
men costs not less than $3.50 per
day each.
Call Him up. T. Herman
Haningsman, while in the United
States on this trip, will have his
name changed. He states his pur-
pose to make application to congress
for the privilege to sign his legal
name as ''P. T. Herman" These
are the same initials. His object in
effecting the change is simply to have
name which will be easier for his
friends and associates to remember.
He says that scarcely anybody is able
to remember "Haningsman," and he
can be introduced ever so many times
to man. The next time they meet,
the acquaintance cannot remember
what to call him. Already Pete signs
his name on hotel registers as P T.
Herman, although his old name must
be affixed to legal documents until
congress takes action.
Pete was very much surprised on
his arrival in Wenatchee to find all
his relatives gone to Europe. He had
not been advised of their departure
for the old country.
