Facts About Wenatchee Valley
The Wenatchee Valley is situated
in Chelan county, Washington, be-
ing in the exact center of the state,
and is bisected by the Great North
ern Railway from one end to the
other, distance of about thirty
| five miles. 1t lies in an easterly
and westerly direction along both
sides of the Wenatchee river, and
| continues down along the banks of
| the majestic Columbia for some fiji
teen miles below the confluence OF
these two streams.
| At the confluence of the Wenat-
chez and Columbia rivers is located
the city of Wenatchee with It's
5000 inhabitants.

Peaches begin bearing at three years

81 900 Per Acre Year Is Common
Below will be found a few state
ments by growers who have made
thorough tests of the fruit business
in the Wenatchee Valley, and many
application.
w. M. Little sold his 1907 crop
Of Winesap apples from four acres
of 6-year-old trees for $4,451 net.
He sold his 1908 crop from the same
trees for $4,000.
D. w. Roderick sold from his nine
acre tract of 6-year-old trees, his
1907 apple crop for $4,000 ana
from the same ground his 1908 crop
for $4,000.
Blackman Brothers, of Wenatchee,
picked from twenty-seven acres of
six and seven-year-old trees 1920
boxes of marketable fruit in the
season of 1908. These apples sold
from s1.10 to $3.50 per box (ac-
cording to Variety f. o. b. cars,
Wenatchee.
William Turner sold from his
eighteen acres of 6-yearAold apple
orchard, in 1907, 1872 boxes, which
brought him $18,717, and from
thirty acres of 6 and 7-year-old
trees the 1908 yield was 1880
boxes. which sold for $4,000.
Fred Sterling sold his 1907 crop
of cantaloupes and tomatoes from
seven acres of land, grown between
the trees in his young orchard, for
$4,000. In 1908 he sold the apples
from his eight acres of 6-year-old
orchard for $3.50.
l.. w. Smith came to Wenatchee
ten years ago and bought five acres
of raw irrigated land for 1925, go
ing in debt for almost the entire
amount. His tract is now in full
bearing, and from previous crops
he has built good buildings on the
place, and sold his 1908 crop fol-
$3.50. He has refused $4,000
for his five-acre home. Many 9th.
ers are doing quite as well, and
from this 1t can be seen that the
assertion so often made THAT ter

eter ranges from zero in winter to
100 degrees in the heat of summer,
but the weather is never subject to
sudden changes. Being surrounded
with snow-covered mountains, the
nights in summer are always cool
and invigorating Hailstorms, eye
lones and sunstrokes are unknown
hazards.
Fruit is Chief Product.
The chief product of the valley
is fruit, consisting principally of ap-
pies. All the other fruits are grown
in a northern climate at all, do
well.
Wenatchee Valley claims to grow
the best colored, best favored, most
uniform, largest and best yielding
apples i'm the world, and the Wen
atchee Commercial club agrees to
prove it to anyone who will take the
time to investigate. They will fur
nish evidence by experts of national
reputation or prove it by display OF
the orchards during the fruit sea-
son. The first prize at the st. Louis
and also at Lewis and Clark Expo
sition at Portland, Oregon, were
given to Wenatchee and first prize
on best general county exhibit, Yak
lima State Fair, 1908, Yakima. AT
the National Apple Show, Spokane
Wash, in 1909, the Wenatchee Val
ley captured IS per cent of the
awards, including prize for best car
load of apples. The above awards
were given in competition with the
best apple growing districts in the
world.
We hold more premiums, where
number of exhibits are considered,
than any section in the world today.
Peaches, grapes, pears AMI apricots
hold no small second to the apple,
watermelons, cantaloupes, tomatoes
and vegetables of all kinds grow
prolifically and form an important
factor as a resource during the early
stages of the orchard. Alfalfa hay
was once quite product, but these
fields are fast being planted to
trees.
Fruit growers who have lived
here for over thirty years testify
that at apple crop failure has never
been known.
The 1908 fruit crop sold for the
en- .rmous sum of one million dol
lars, with only one-tenth OF the to
tai acreage In full bearing.

or go east. The eastern route offered
more opportunity to Cervera, for most
of the American vessels We're TO the
west of the harbor But the Maria
Teresa turned west.
The Gloucester was closer in shore
than any other vessel of the blockad-
ing fleet. Had Cervera turned east,
she would have been directly In his
path. With the first sign of Cervera's
course the fireroom blowers on the
Gloucester were started, and the yacht
closed In with the rest of the fleet. The
great guns of the battleships We're be-
ginning to boom, and the Oregon, Iowa,
Texas, BROOKLYN and Indiana were
bending every energy to get abreast of
and keep up with the fleeing fleet.
The Gloucester, nearer the Spaniards
than any of the battleships, was not
long getting into the range OF fire. Be-
fore even the Pluton or the Furor had
come out the Gloucester, at $500 yards
range, was firing at the big Spanish
ships .ith her starboard guns. They
were not heavy enough to do serious
harm. but they added their mite. Then
the Gloucester was slowed down to
await the destroyers, but all the while
the gunners kept up an incessant fire
on the Spanish cruisers. The forts
were blazing away at the American
vessels, but their fire amounted to lit :
tie.
When the four big warships were

as the Pluton and Furor We're concern

for no other American gunboats were
near enough to get into action with
them.
Thereupon the fight between the
yacht and the two Spaniards became a
battle altogether apart from the main
action in which the hattleships were
