great meeting of farmers-the joint
convention of the Farmers Education

the American Society of Equity. a
northern organization with 2.250.O0O
members. and nearly 400 subsidiary

proximately 100000 members. This
meant. therefore. that the delegates
were the representatives of more than
100000 men,
Some facts and figures were pre-
scented to the convention that will
open the city mems eyes. For instance.
it is estimated by members Of the
union that the farmers represented are
worth $4,000 each on an average in
land alone. making them the joint pos

Can Raise the Roof Any Old Time.
Raising the roof" is a familiar
figuratfve term sometimes used in
speaking of trough house." but the
roof of the new Wenatchee hotel,
when completed, will be subject to
raising in the literal sense.
Knowing that this city will soon
require five or six story buildings
the builders Of the hotel are taking
time by the forelock and have spec
flied that the roof must be built
somewhat on the style of cantilever
bridge. When more stories are need
ed the roof can be blocked up to a
higher altitude without causing any
inconvenience to the running of the
hotel.

Mission Street Contract Held Up
It was expected that work on the
Mission street contract would be in
progress before this. The ordinance
prescribes that the contract shall be
signed by the successful bidders
within ten days after the awarding
of the contract. This is not signed
as yet, being held up as the contract
ors say, by a defect in the resolution
and in the ordinance. In order to
sell the bonds all the legal red tape
incident to the letting of the con-
tract must be approved by Peters &
Powell. This firm is holding up the
approval of the ordinance on account
of what are considered here as minor
defects, and until this is approved it
is impossible for the contractors to
dispose of the bonds. The contract
ors have deposited with the city a
certified check for $4,000, but ii
is thought that in the course OF
few days the defects can be remedied
and the contractors start work.

and 1909 the monthly average of
rock and earth removed was three
million cubic yards, notwithstand-
ing the fact that nine months of each
year constituted a season of very
heavy rainfall. There remains to be
excavated only about sixty million
cubic yards. If we could keep uD
the past average of excavation, tt rs
should be done in twenty mch.l 8
but it is impossible to maintain such
ratio as the depth increases; for
