THE VALUE OF THE RURAL
TELEPHONE TO-DAY.

If is generally recognized that
a nation S wealth comes from the
productivenes Of its fields. Any
movement that tends to increase
their fertility, or to improve con
ditions in the open country 50 as
to turn the stream Of population
away from instead of into the
cities and c0ngested manufacture
Ing centers, should receive con
slant encouragement. The one
thing which has done most to
hamper the South S development
has been lack OF transportation
facilities. The one thing which
will most easily, cheaply and Ell
fectually overcome this lack IS a
relia bic method of quick commun-
ication. This is the part played
by the telephone. And after the
telephone comes good roads.
Each one is an evidence OF ma
terial prosperlty-each one re-
duces the expenses OF farm, each
one serves as a close link between
the farmer and the outside world
or the next door neighbor. Only
one, though, is on duty day and
night. fair weather or foul, and
instantly available. To receive
the benefit of the good roads, you
must hitch up team; but with
the telephone in the house, a turn
of the crank puts you in touch
with points near or far. Prob
ably the first and most direct ap-
peal Of the telephone is to the far
mer's wife. She has less oppor-
tunities Of getting away from
home than other members OF the
family, she sees fewer new faces
and receives fewer new ideas so
that anything which will serve to
break the monOtony Of her life Is
welc omed as Godsend. And the
amount of visiting which can be
done over a long, rural line is tru-
ly surprising. All of the neigh
borhood news spreads along the
wire even quicker than the
grapevine telegraph" could tell
it, and during bad weather or on
cold winted nights. the "volce III
the box" is a great comfort.
Besides it's social side, though,
another and even greater appeal
the telephone makes is as an aid
in emergencies. 1t is watchdog
that never sleeps, but that IS al
ways ready to summon assistance
in any crisis. Two eases where a
telephone saved a life have come
to my attention within a week.
In neither case would it have been
possible to even notify the doctor
in the total time it took the tele
phone to get him to the spot. In
stances Of this sort are not rare
occur every day, and have
gone a long way toward demon
strating the value of the telephone
on the farm. m

OBSERVATION-DISCLOSURES
Secretary of the Interior Holds That the Commute
ton Proof Offered by Mrs. Sarah A. Clapp for
Claim at Winchester Is Good-Deci-
sion Establishes Precedent

News has been received in this
city of an opinion by the secretary
of the interior reversing the decision
of the commissioner of the general
land Office which had rejected the
final Communication proof of Mrs.
Sarah A. Clapp, of this city, on her
homestead located near Winchester,
in Grant county.
Mrs. Clapp is one of a consider
able number of people who had made
Communication proofs on homesteads in
the neighborhood of Quincy and Win
chester and whose proofs were pro-
tested by special agents of the land
Office and rejected She had made
a particularly conscientious residence
upon and cultivation of her home
stead for the period required by law,
although she made her filing at a
time when only eight months actual
residence on the land was required
The final Communication proof was
made Dec. Z, 1908. 1t seems that
when the special agent inspected her
claim in April, 1909, he found that
she was not then living upon the
claim. Because she was not living
there on the subsequent spring after
her proof, and because she estab-
lished her residence on the claim
The Wenatchee daily world. [volume] (Wenatchee, Wash.) 1905-1971, 1910-03-28

dence on the place as her home for
eight consecutive months, the depart
ment agent had no right to question
her whereabouts after or before those
dates any more than it has to ques-
ton the right of man to leave or
sell his homestead after he has lived
on it five years, and made the re-
quired five years proof; that the
homestead law does not require that
a person shall have nothing in the
world except property he brings onto
his homestead, and that the posses
ION OF property elsewhere at the time
one establishes his residence on the
homestead does not negative the in
tention to make bona flde residence
on the claim; that cultivation OF the
land and residence for the required
period are the two and only essential
elements emitting one to final proof.
In Mrs. Clapp's case, the report OF
the chic field division who had pr O.
tested her claim, made favorable COM
ment on her cultivation of the land
and the improvements she had erect
ed. There were about IS acres un-
der cultivation and improvements
were estimated at being worth $500.
Attorney Fred Kemp conducted the
appeal for Mrs. Clapp.

CROWD At MOTION
PICTURES

Fight writer's have tried to tell
about the Nelson-Wolgast fight but
the performance was SO remarkable
that nothing but the pictures can do
it justice The pictures show that 1t
is all that they have claimed and
more
A few of the rounds do not show
to the best advantage on account OF
the sunlight failing, but the majority
of the pictures are clear and good.
The most exciting round, that in
which Wolgast was knocked down
and had to clinch and stall to save
himself, is vivid in the pictures.
Those who have followed the fight
ing game can read the pictures and
see just wherein Nelson was not
working at his best.
Today is the only day that the
films will be shown in Wenatchee.
The theatre will be open until mid
night If necessary so that all who
come will have chance.

only few days after the expiration
of six months after the date of en-
try, the special agent reported that
there was not bona fide intention
on her part to make entry and per-
manent home. Objections to her
final proof were also taken because
when she moved onto the claim in
the spring of 1908 she had not taken
all of her household goods with her.
but only enough to furnish the small
dwelling house on the claim and had
left the rest at Wenatchee.
An appeal was taken from the de-
cision of the commissioner of the
general land Office to the secretary
of the interior and the secretary's
decision now sustains Mrs. Clapp's
proof and orders final certificate and
patent to issue.
1t was argued in the appeal that
a Communication proof is just as much
regular and proper proof to en-
title one to land upon payment OF
the required Communication fee as any
final five year proof, both being au-
thorized by acts of congress; that so
long as the entry woman established
her residence before the expiration
of six months from the date of entry
and maintained conscientious resi-

6E[LAT[Y TRACT Is
SUbD|v|DED
% ACRE ORCHARD TRACT
PLACED ON THE MARKET To-
DAY BY THE HOLM-WELLS-
NICHOLS COMPANY.

The John A. Gellatly 92-acre or
chard tract northwest of the city was
placed on the market today by the
Holm Wells-Nichols company of this
city. This big tract Is all planted to
Winesaps, Jonathans and Delicious
apples, with the exception of II acres
in peaches and two acres in alfalfa.
This is watered by hydraulic ram
which is self operating and water is
secured from the high line ditch.
This big tract is within 20 min
utes drive from the postoffice and the
tracts have been subdivided so that
each one has view of the entire val
ley. This has been placed on the
market at from $500 to $1,000 per
acre. The orchard is from one to
four years old and it has been given
the best of care.
This is the third tract within
week which has been placed on the
market in small subdivisions and the
Gellatly tract will furnish homes for
from IL to Is families. Mr.. Gellatly
has found the care of this big tract
more strenuous than he had expected
and believes that a number of fam
lilies could give it better care than
under the ownership of one man. The
soil is perfect for orcharding and with
plenty of water and careful selection
of trees offers very special induce
ments for the investor.

Heavy Frost This Evening.

The weather bureau of Spokane,
as we'll as the Sound reports tonight
and tomorrow clear and fair with
heavy frost tonight. The growers of
Kennewick and Lewiston are fighting
frosts this year with smudge pots and
have been able so far to ward off any
damage from the elements. Last
week two light frosts were reported
in this valley but Fruit Inspector OAR
lington stated today that there had
been no damage as a result of the
frost. He has carefully inspected
number of orchards and finds no dam
age whatever The fact that the
peach trees are so heavily set, light
frost would prove beneficial in kill
ing off some of the buds and thus
make 1t unnecessary to thin.

SPOKANE-COEUR D
ALEAE APPlEWAY

Spokane, March 2S.-Lined with
apple trees, set 40 feet apart and al
ternated with English elms, and
fountains for man and beast as mile
stones, will be the Great Apple Way,
a 60-foot wide macadamized thor
oughfare between Spokane and Occur
d'Alene, Idaho, 81 miles, upon which
construction work is to begin with
in 80 days. j. A. Perry, secretary
of the Spokane County Good Roads
association, which will direct opera
tons, announces that the estimated
cost of the speedway is $4,000, or
$4,000 a mile.
Funds for the building of the road,
the first of its kind on the continent,
will be obtained through an assess
ment plan, operating similar to a
levy for municipal Improvements.
The governors and members of the
legislatures of Washington and Ida
ho and the supervisors of the var
ious townships are in favor of the
highway and have promised to take
active part in promoting the enter
prise.
Contracts have been signed by the
Spokane Canal company to furnish
water for irrigating the trees and
supplying the fountains for a period
of five years without cost to the
counties and states, and the proper
ty-holders along the right-of-way
have undertaken to care for the trees
and assist in maintaining the road
way until it is taken over by the
states. Tree planting will begin
May 1.
Seventeen miles of the road be-
tween Spokane and the Washington
Idaho state line will be built by the
Spokane County Good Roads associa-
fion, assisted by commercial and i'm
provement organizations in the val
ley, and the remaining IA miles, be-
tween Spokane Bridge and Coeur

chamber of commerce of the las,

A. j. Linville, of the Red Apple
Real Estate company, who has the
sale of the Wenatchee Orchard tract
in Sunnyslope, reported at noon that
he had already sold 35 acres Of this
tract and has good prospects for sew
eral more sales for the day. The
close proximity to Wenatchee, the
care and the selection of the varie-
ties Of the trees and the easy pay
ment features makes this an especial
ly attractive buy and Mr.. Linville
does not anticipate any trouble in
the early closing out of the entire
tract.
