LOCAL APPLES N
AMSTERDAM
ALEX MURRAY RECEIVED VERY
FAVORABLE COMMENT FROM
SHIPMENT SENT ACROSS THE
WATER.

Alex Murray, one of the pioneers
of this valley, last fall sent a ship
ment of apples to England with the
Edmund shipment. About a dozen
boxes were sent to Holland and to
various parts of England and Scot
land, at the request of George E.
Wright, Seattle attorney and friend
of Mr.. Murray. Recently there had
been a number of acknowledgement
of the receipts of these apples and
they speak very highly of the quality
and of the good condition in which
they were received Among some of
the Acknowledgements is the follow
ing from Amsterdam:
"The apples are beauties. Never
have seen or tasted anything like
them. They have peculiar flavor
that is not known to our apples over
here. They were not in any way
damaged on account of the long trip
they have made"
These are from Yorkshire:
"I never have seen such splendid
apples. They are quite a picture.
Many thanks for your charming pres
emit of apples. I have never seen such
rudy apples before. They are most
excellent in flavor They arrived in
good condition. What a funny name
they have. Wenatchee must be In
dian, isn't it?"

Big Fruit Crop Seems Assured.

The growers of this. valley seem
very optimistic as to the fruit pros
poets for this year. There Is a great
deal of pruning being done In the val
ley at this time and it seems to be the
general sentiment that never before
in the history of the valley have the
trees seemed to be SO laden with fruit
spurs as at the present time. Even
the very goung trees are very liberal
~ covered with the fruit spurs and
IL the weather continues to be as
favorable during the next few months
as 1t has been In the past season
there will be an immense crop OF
fruit this year. The heavy rainfall OF
last November fully developed the
fruit spurs and If prices are right
there should be $1,50o,0o0 worth Of
fruit this year.

Preparing for 1900 Acres.

The six nursery houses in Wenat-
chez have a total of 3,000,e eco apple
roots on hand for scion grating pur-
poses. Every root will represent at
least one apple tree next fall, and
after some have died or been con-
demned at least SO per cent will
eventually be planted and grow into
wealth producing elements. A mini

CENSUS SUPERVISOR STORCH
SAYS EASTERN WASHINGTON
WILL HAVE NEW CONGRESS
SIGNAL DISTRICT.

Spokane, Jan. 25.-Spokane coun-
ty, together with two or three other
counties, will have a representative
in congress Following the present
census and the new apportionment
of congress, according to a forecast
given out by Arthur M. Storch, SUI
pervisor of census for the Third dis
trict
The new enumeration will allow
the state of Washington at least five
and possibly six representatives in
stead of three, as at present, and
there will be two from the counties
east of the mountains, says Supervis-
or Storch.
Spokane Will Show 10000
THE Third district, in which Spo-
kane is located, had population OF
$4,000 in 1900, but this has been
more than doubled in the past 10
years, and I predict a population this
census of at least 400, 00O," said Mr..
Storch.
1.-The city of Spokane will undoubt-
eddy show 10000, or close to it. The
apportionment for representatives in
congress being about 200,000 there
will be two districts west of the
mountains, making Spokane the CEN
ter of a district half the size of the
present one"
William C. Hunt, chief statistician
for population in the census bureau,
spent Saturday in Spokane in confer
ence with Supervisor Storch.
Mr.. Hunt announced that $4,000
men would be employed in taking the
census and that, contrary to reports.
there have been applications in such
numbers that the department has
been enabled to be more discriminat-
ing in the choice of enumerators than
in any previous census.
Census Begins April 4.
Mr.. Hunt said that he found the
bureaus in charge of the three census
supervisors of Washington in excel
lent shape to proceed with the work,
which begins April Is and lasts a
month.
There are over 500 applications for
positions as enumerators in the hands
of Mr.. Storch and more are expected
before February 5, when the exam
nations take place, and about 800
men selected for the Third district.
Mr.. Storch announces that each ap-
plicant will receive a letter before
February telling him at what hour
and place to report for examination.

YEAR FOR
GRANT COUNTY
YEAR WILL ECLIPSE ALL
FORMER YEARS-NEW RAIL
ROADWAY IRRTGA tom
PROJECTS.

The year of 1910 will see the
greatest change in Grant county that
has ever taken place in this section
of the country. Already you can al
most hear the hum of the new devel-
opments. You can now hear the
blasting of the rocks on the new
railroad Every train brings in new
corners and every day see parties ar
irving to take advantage of the many
irrigation projects of greater or less
size.
One of the big things for the coun-
ty will be the completion of the Con-
nell-Adrian branch of the Northern
Pacific AS one sits in the hotel at
Adrian the blasting of the rocks can
be heard 20 miles to the south. This
means that active work is going on
and hundreds of men of men are
now busy on this line which will cut
cut across Grant county and open
another field The new line taps the
Moses lake country and it is here
that numerous small irrigation pro-
iects are now completed and others
are being planned.
Large Irrigation Scheme.
One large irrigation scheme in this
section contemplates the watering of
10000 acres of land. A more de-
tailed account of this has been given
in a former issue of this paper.
Lively at Ephrata.
About Ephrata development enter
prises are numerous. New additions
are being laid off to this hustling lit
tie city and a number of small irriga-
ton enterprises are under way. Many
new houses are being erected and the
whole section tributary is given an
impetus. The Milwaukee line, which
was built last year through the
southern part of the county, is hav-
ing its effect upon the development
of that region. Along the line of ir-
rigation enterprises must also be
mentioned the small by important
projects along the Columbia river.

yGreat Northern train service is very
Indefinite and problematical today
because of the washout of a Wilson
Creek bridge. Considerable difficulty
was experienced there last year and
much money was spent in putting the
railway into such a condition that
there would be no difficulty on ac-
count of the track washing out, but
all to no avail. Crab creek always
causes trouble in the spring.
The only train scheduled for the
west this morning was a special at
S:45. This was last nights east
bound train No. 26, which Was
turned about at Wilson Greek.
The fast mail train, No. 81, and
the fast express from Spokane to Sc
attic, No. 3, were annulled. There
was no service west from Spokane
this morning Trains Nos. 2 and A
went by Adrian over the branch of
the Northern Pacific, the Washington
Central.
A representative of the Daily World
at the scene of the big foods last year
along the Crab Creek valley found
the people making preparations for a
food of extra large proportions. Tele-
phone communication with Wilson
Creek and Irby discloses the fact that
the flood at that place is already
larger than it was last year.
Has Not Reached Stratford.
The flood has not yet reached STRAIT
ford today and is not expected for
some 80 or As hours, owing to the
fact that the rush of water farther
back will have to fill up the lakes
on the way. The railroad tracks at
Irby are washed out and trains are
now coming around on the Washing
ton Central. The train which left
Wenatchee early this morning got as
far as Wilson Creek and was COM
PEELED to turn back. The passengers
we're transferred at Adrian and went
east on the Adrian cutoff. One OF
the trains at Wilson Creek was
pushed across the bridge last night
but the engine was kept off on ac-
count of the danger.
The people of Stratford are getting
ready for the coming flood which they
expect will reach there tomorrow or
the nd KIT day The floods in Crab
creek are we'll known to the residents
in that vicinity. This little valley
drains a very large territory and a
chinook invariably brings great
rush of water. Last year it is said
that the stream looked like VERT
able. Columbia.
Would Corral the Floods.
The amount of water that is per-
mitted to run to waste yearly through
the Crab Creek valley is enormous
and many heads are now busyine
themselves with the plans for the
conservation of these large floods fol
the irrigation of the arid lands in
that vicinity during the summer. The
Adrian Irrigation company has al.
ready made a dam for the storage OF
part of the water of Brook lake
Plans are now in the inception fol-
the conservation of great bodies OF
water in the lakes above and other
natural reservoirs. There is another
project for the damminF of the wa,
tiers at Round lake, which lies west
of Stratford about three miles. There
seems TO be little doubt but that all
the low lands in this valley will be
watered within the next two or three
years. AS orchard land it bids fail
to be a rival to that OF the Wenat.

They look at these vital prob lems from the corporate standpoint, and they always are fearful that any step toward the further and better regulation of these overmasterihg destroy business, will take away some of the profits with which the multi mllliOnaires have been enriching themselves.
 Every session of Congress will de- velop just such differences, and can you wonder that we, who are marked for the disfavor of the powerful in- a Governor who is in sympathy with what we are trying to do; should want the whole State Government to be in harmony with the progressive movement for-better laws?

SENATOR CUMMINS DECLARES THAT t. 0. P. LEADERS ARE IN
 LEAGUE WITH CORPORATIONS

Des Moines, Iowa, May 11.-Sena- tors Cumnins and Deliver made the principal addresses at a progressive Republican rally here last night. Sem ator Cummins traced the develop nlent of corporations in the United States and declared that present Re- publican leaders were in league with these corporations. He asserted that the present split in the Republican tion.
 Of those Republican leaders who, ne charged, were in league with cor porations, Senator Cummins said:
 Most of them have been brought up with these influences all around them, and therefore whenever a law is proposed that restricts, or reduces corporate, their first inquiry is not, will this measure bring help to the people, but, is it recommended by the Captains of industry, the masters of high finance.
 These leaders of ours find them selves so busy hearing what these princes of the earth have to say about proposed legislation that they have conditions of the great mass of humanity.
 ''I have no hesitancy in naming the present leaders of the Republican Party in the Congress of the United States. In the Senate one man stands solitary and alone, and hitherto his word has been law to that august tribunal Senator A1drich is the man of whom I have been speaking.
 ''In the House, MT. Cannon, the speaker, has exercised dominating control, and after him come Payne,

Danbury Firms to Arbitratc Dispute:
 With EmplOyeS.

Danbury, May 11.-An important tI ade agreement has been effected by the manufacturers and the trades un- iCns in the hating trades in confer ence in this city. It provides for the arbitration of all questions at issue between the two organization in the trade.
 The plan calls for the appointment of three arbitrators by each side, whenever any matter requiring arbi- tration arises. These six are to con slider the matter in dispute and if they are unable to reach an agree ment within five days, they are to en- deavor to agree mutually upon a sev- enth person who will act as referee. If such a person cannot be agreed upon by the arbitrators within five days the president of the National Civic Association is to be asked to Gp- point the seventh person, In the meantime work is to continue with out interruption and all parties to the conference agree to abide by the de- cisions of the arbitrators
 This plan has been agreed to and the agreements have been signed by the members of the Hat Manufa ctur- e~s A Association, the officers of the United Hatters of North America and the Hat Trimmers' Union.

 ASK FOR A
 PAY INCREASE

The Master Builders Association, composed of 26 boss carpenters, who are not affiliated with the Interstate Contractors, Builders & Dealers As sociation, and who hire union help only received a delegation from the Carpenters union, last night. The delegation was composed of Business Agent Timothy Flanagan and Messrs. Kane, Stout, Flanagan and Perry pre- sented the request of the union for a half holiday on Saturdays without any decrease in the weekly wage.
 The demand is practically for a shortening of the week by four hours and an increase of % cents an hour for the time work.
 The members of the associat tion lave expected the proposition and have discussed it informally in the past with the result that the majority are inclined to favor it as long as 1t does not affect work already figured.
 It was decided to take final action on the matter at a meeting to be held Tuesday night. Some of the bosses are in favor of granting the half day, but believe that the in- crease in wages should be cut in half, so that the men will share the cost of the holiday.
