NEW ERA IN CARE
Of BRIDGES

County Engineer F. M. Berry is
beginning a new era in the history
of the care of the county's bridges.
He is taking pictures of the bridges
and of the foundations which will
be filed in the bridge book. He is
also beginning to compute the weight
that may be carried by the various
bridges in the county. AS soon as
these computations are made he viii!
place a sign board at each end Of
the bridges that are over a hundred
feet long and upon the boards SO
placed he will indicate the weight
that the structure can carry.
In Chelan county there are be-
tween 80 and 35 bridges over hun
dred feet long and it will add great
ly to the convenience of the public
and also to the longevity of the
structures to have these computa-
tions placed at the ends OF the bridges
to inform the users of the compare
tive safety of the bridges. $50.

REMARKED AFTER
MANY YEARS
PAIR WHO SEPARATED FOLLOW
ING CHILDISH QUARREL RE-
UNITED By son WHO is NOW
HIGH SCHOOL STUDENT.

Seattle, May 20.-Mrs. Anna M.
Steiner, twice married and twice d.
vorced, will remarry her first hus-
band, Post Commissary Sergeant J..
L. Green, of the transport Dix, on
June 4. Their Is year old son, a
high school student, reunited his par
ents, separated shortly after his birth.
Mrs. Steiner was a school girl of
16 years when she fell in love with
Jim Green, the village schoolmaster
at Oswego, Kan. She became his
wife in 1891, and year later, after
childish quarrel, went back to her
fathers house with an infant son.
Green resigned and enlisted in the
regular army. Later he Joined the
Rough Riders and served through the
Cuban and Philippine campaigns.
Mrs. Green was given divorce
and married DR.. Steiner in 1899,
coming to Seattle. Six months ago
she was given divorce from Steiner.
In late years Sergeant Steiner has
been corresponding with his son. who
intensely admired his soldier father.
When the Dix arrived from Manila
last Saturday night the boy was at
the dock to meet his father, tell him
of the divorce, and that nothing now
stood in the way of a reconciliation.
The boy succeeded. Mrs. Steiner has
been active in club work in Ballard,
Seattle suburb, where she lives.

WORK N CASCADES
STARTS SOON
NORTHERN OFFICIALS
READY TO BEGIN CHANGING
TRACKS AND BUILDING NEW
SNOW SHEDS.

Great Northern officials will start
active work on the track improve
ments near the Cascade tunnel with
in ten days and before the end of
summer will have changed tracks and
built snow sheds that will make a
repetition of the Wellington disaster
impossible. Engineers are now at
work both on the east and west
sides of the tunnel making final sur
veys and close estimate of the prob
able cost of the improvement. No
estimate of expense has been pre-
pared at the time Chairman James j.
Hill, of the board of directors, de-
cided that a radical change in the
line, coupled with new snow sheds
was the most feasible scheme for pro-
tecting the tracks.
1t will be impossible to make any
track changes at or near Wellington,
but in many places in the Cascades,
the road can be moved in such a man
ner as to prevent disastrous slides in
the future. 1t is planned to move
the tracks closer into the mountains
and protect them with new snow
sheds, which will carry any further
slides into the ravines below.
The work will be under direction
of Assistant Chief Engineer Alex
Stewart, who suggested the track
changes for the protection of the
road. 1t is probable that by the time
active work is commenced this month
a close estimate of the expense will
have been made.

Chelan News Notes.

Chelan, May 19.-Fire broke out
in the barn belonging to W. H. House
on Chelan Butte, one half mile south
of Chelan, burning it to the ground,
also his grain, seed potatoes, saddle
and other articles which were in the
barn. The estimated loss is about
$50.
The high winds of Saturday after
noon broke the Chelan box factory
log boom, causing the logs to break
out and scatter over the river Haw-
ley and son are towing them back.
The kickers of Chelan will have
to kick pretty high if they kick over
some of the upper works of the new
bridge which is being erected by the
constructing boss and his complete
crew of bridge builders.
A game of baseball was played on
the Chelan Falls diamond last Sum-
day by the Chelan Falls AMI Union
Valley teams. The score was 81 to
3 in favor of Chelan Falls.
The citizens of Chelan were sud-
denly startled by the appearance Of
four monsters, which appeared on
the Chelan Falls road Sunday as
though chased by Halley's comet,
but proved to be automobiles.

ORCHARD BURNED
BY OWNERS
MORE THAN $4,000 LIVE TREES
PUT TO TORCH BECAUSE THEY
FAILED TO BEAR-TREES WERE
TWENTY YEARS OLD.

The second largest apple orchard
In the state of Kansas. the Wellhouse
orchard, on the main line OF the San
ia Fee railroad, in Usage county, has
been destroyed by its owners on ac-
count of its non-productivity. 1t was
burned to the ground.
Big Undertaking.
Twenty years ago Fred Wellhouse,
the apple king of Kansas, set out
the orchard. It contained 500 acres.
Nearly $1,000 trees were required
The trees grew fairly we'll for the
first few years. but when it came
time for them to bear they buckei.
Investigation developed that the soil
was not adapted to apple growing
For Is years Mr.. Wellhouse and his
son held on to the orchard in the
hope that the elements might pro-
duce change. Occasionally the or
chard would yield a light crop. One
year it did manage to turn out $5,-
900 worth Of fruit. But on the whole
the orchard was a failure.
Will Clear Ground.
Mr.. Wellhouse sold the orchard
last year. 1t was divided up among
two or three purchasers. The new
owners decided not to fool with the
orchard any longer. So one day re-
Gently when the wind was strong and
vegetation all dry they set fire to
the orchard and burned it up. 1t
is estimated that more than $4,000
live apple trees were burned. Thou
sands Of trees were burned up en-
tirely. Others were burned off at
the trunks. The owners will clear
up the ground and put it into grass,
corn and other crops.
''It made me feel badly to see
that orchard destroyed" said Secre-
tary Wellhouse Of the State Horti-
cultural society "I helped to set
it out and I had great hopes of large
returns on my money when the trees
were planted. But, as everybody
knows, the orchard was a failure.
We didn't examine the subsoil close
enough when we selected the land
for apple growing"

Bridge addition. Eighteen months

The hotel Lonny stopped at was near

The PENANG Patrol Wagon.

Writing of the local patrol wagon
the Penang correspondent of the
Straits Times, Singapore, says: at
forcibly calls to mind at first sight a
four wheeled bakers cart, bar the
fact that it is drawn by about the
slowest pair of brllocks in the settle
ment. There is nothing grim at all
about it, for it is commanded by a
sleepy Malay constable perched on
the box; it's roof and sides are form
ed of white canvas, and it has no door
to close at the back, but merely an
opening in which another Malay con-
stable half slumbers. Two or three
other constables ride inside sitting
on the benches with the prisoners,
who seem to be struck with novelty
of the ride to make any attempt at
escape. / should say that an escape
from this prison van would be as
easy as falling off log"

Harmless Coffee Wanted.

A number of experiments have been
carried out with the object of prepar-
ing a caffein free product from the
coffee seeds. A satisfactory result
was obtained by certain methods
which aim at subjecting the entire
raw seeds to a procedure by means
of which the caffein salts are decom-
posed and the seeds are rendered
amenable to subsequent extraction
with a volatile solvent of caffein. This
procedure Is at present employed in
Bremen and in Mannheim, Germany.
Nature has produced plant free

At such rare intervals as he had time
TO think of domestic affairs, Caleb
was more than a little concerned OF
late over the behavior OF this only
son of his. Since the visit Of his
wife to Granite Gerald's demeanor
had undergone a change that had puz-
zled even his fathers acute mind. He
had waxed listless, taciturn and I'M
naturally docile No command seemed
too distasteful for him to execute UNI
complainingly. No outbreak OF rough
sarcasm or wrath from Caleb could
draw from him retort, nor so much
as a show of interest. Conover knew
the lad had taken to drinking heavily
and frequently, but also that Gerald's
deepest potations apparently had no
other outward effect than to increase
his listless apathy.
Partly from malice, partly to arouse
the youth, Conoyer had thrown upon
him many details of campaign work.
