Winter wheat assists in more uni

of a mountain near the border line
Of Colombia and Venezuela, Mr.. Ben

such an inaccessible place that he

him.

THE BEST CITY N
AMERICA
This is Statement of A. G..
Jones Who Has Spent
Year in Travel.

1.-The Wenatchee valley is the best
fruit district in the world This
was the statement made yesterday
by A. G. Jones, formerly mayor of
Cashmere. Mr.. Jones, after dispos-
ing of his interests at Cashmere,
spent about a year on the upper
Okanogan and in the Canadian ter
ritory. He left that country not be-
cause it was not good fruit coun-
try but from the fact that transpor-
tation facilities were very made
|quate. He disposed of his interests
there about year ago and since that
time he, in company with his wife,
has spent the year travelling through
the various fruit sections in the
United States and Mexico. He has
visited every fruit section of any
prominence and in addition to the
necessary travel by rail he travelled
at least 5000 miles by automobile
in making the investigations of these
various districts.
Mr.. Jones has been thorough in his
investigation and returns to Wenat-
chez fully convinced that this is the
best fruit district in the world, and
states that after visiting all the
towns he is convinced Wenatchee is
the best city of it's size in America
He makes this statement not from
any personal interest or from any
standpoint of flattery to the town
Mr.. Jones is very conservative
careful business man, and it is with
a great deal of satisfaction that his
friends heard him express himself
SO freely on his return to the We
natchee valley.
