TWO BUILDINGS DE-
STR0YED
Okanogan Has Blaze-Pub.
Lefty League Provides
for Exhibits.

Okanogan, Wash, Aug. From
some cause, probably the visit of the
Wenatchee Commercial Club. or per-
haps because of that very interesting
article in the Daily World, entitled,
go North, Young Man, Go North"
we have had considerable activity
in Okanogan real estate, as is evil
denced by the list of sales made by
the Pioneer Realty company, MAX
ing a total for the month of $4,000.
Saturday morning the town of ok
anogan was seriously menaced b" the
demon fire. The Stuckey building
and the home of DR.. Albert Rogers,
burned to the ground. Had it not
been for Okanogan's very competent
fire department and decidedly effic-
lent water system the entire town
would in a short time have been
reduced to ashes.
In order to stimulate interest in
the various exhibits which Okanogan
apple shows, the Pioneer Realty
company offers $50 in cash prizes
for the best plates of Okanogan
grown apples, peaches and pears.
At meeting yesterday of the Ok
anogan Valley Publicity League,
plans were laid to provide credita-
BILE exhibits of fruits and vegetables
for the Apple Show at Spokane, the
great land show to be held in Chi
cago in November and other shows
of like nature.
A branch twenty-eight inches long
containing eighteen large pears was
sent yesterday to Mr.. Vessels of
| Spokane for processing. These pears
were grown by Ben Ross on his
Spring Coulee ranch and are of the
Clapp's Favorite variety.
J. c. Gay has also prepared for
processing some Mammoth Flemish
Beauty pears. These pears will be
exhibited in the different Great Nor
thern display cars and were grown
on Mr.. Gays Salmon Creek ranch.
For size and color they have seldom
been excelled.
Much interest has been shown in
the report that Wenatchee proposes
to hold a National Apple Show. Ok
anogan wishes to say that in this
matter they are with their Wenat-
chez brothers in every way. This
is proposition in which we are vi
tally interested and would like to
hear more details regarding this pro-
posed apple show.

A PICK UP OF $4,000
Owner of Homestead Finds Land in
the West Quite Remunerative.

Prosser, Wash, Aug. 2.-T. D.
Bradford, an orchardist near here,
who also owns a homestead of $50
acres near Boston, which came to
him as a direct descendant of Gov
ernor Bradford of Pilgrim days, will
pick a fortune of $4,000 from the
trees in a 3O-acre apple orchard this
season. Experts estimate that the
commercial output of this tract will
be more than 10000 boxes of Spit
zenberg apples and as this variety
will bring at least 50 box at whole
sale next fall, the gross returns will
be at the rate of 1880 an acre, or
between SIG and SIT for each bear
ing tree. There are many other or
chards in various parts of Washing
ton, Oregon, Idaho and Montana
where the yields will give gross re-
ceipts of from $3.50 to $1,000 an acre.
Pomona orchard of 100 acres in the
Touchet valley, in eastern Washing
ton formerly owned by ]. l.. Dumas,
ex-president of the Washington State
Horticultural association, will, it is
estimated, yield between $4,000 and
$4,000 boxes of fruit this season.

Americans Fill Paris.

Paris, Aug. FIFTY thousand
Americans have so far been guests at
the Hotel Continental this summer,
while other big hotels in Paris have
also entertained for a brief or long
period, visitors from the United
States.
The number may seem incredible,
but when one encounters the ire
mendous throngs of Americans from
all parts Of the United States, whom
one meets on the streets, the immen-
sity of the crowds at the hotels may
be realized.
The corridors of the best known
hotels in Paris resemble those Of the
Waldorf in New York, the Auditor.
ium in Chicago. the Bellevue-Strat.
ford in Philadelphia, the Touraine in
Boston, or the Palace or Paramount
in San Francisco, so crowded are
they by fashionably dressed Ameri.
cans of both sexes.

UNIVERSITY
CLUB
Initiatory Action Toward
Forming Organization
Plan Banquet.

The fact that the Wenatchee val
ley is the home of a great many uni
versity men has led to the move to-
ward the organization of a university
club in this city. At the banquet
held in honor of President Kane Of
the state university which was held
at the Elman hotel last night the
matter was discussed and it was de-
cided to plan a banquet in about a
month and to effect permanent Or
ganization at that time.
Sam R. Sumner was made temper
airy chairman and Fred Crollard was
made temporary secretary. A COM
mittee composed Of Rufus Woods,
Ray Morrison and Arthur Lavell was
named to make arrangements for the
banquet. The exact time was to be
given out later.

No comments were offered upon
the lessons to be drawn from these
figures other than to discuss the
reasons for the decrease of arrests
shown for each month last year.
Judge Palmer explained this fact
by calling attention to the time Of
year. He stated that there is always
less drunkenness in this city during
the summer than in the winter time.
Men are quite busy while the grow
ing and harvest seasons are on. But
as the cold days begin and continue
time hangs heavily on their hands
and idleness always breed mischief.
The month of January, 1909, showed
SO DRINKS as against only 10 for the
corresponding month this year.
About this time Chief of Police
Inscho dropped in and made an OBJ
servation He said that a large
had been cut off by the fact that
tramps do not visit Wenatchee in
any such hordes as formerly. They
do not prosper in dry town. And
nearly every village as we'll as city
between Spokane and Everett on
the Great Northern is very dry"
These "vags'' find it easy to beg in
saloons but meet with slim pick
ings" where no license is in effect.
So they map out their wanderings
for other sections where saloons are
permitted to flouish.

. A FAITHFUL FARMER

David Rankin of Northwest Missouri made farm
ing business His twenty-three thousand acres
was all Of it made to pay profits the investment
it represented.
Here are some things David Rankin did not do:
He did not assume that because he had horses
about the place anyhow" their keep" did not add
to the cost of production, and he might well use
road.
He did not buy piece of land let it go to
waste and keep him land-poor.
He did not strive to keep down the value of his
land SO that his taxes would be raised. In other
words, ne did not think OF the 2 per cent
additional taxes every dollars increase in land
values than he thought Of the 90 per Of added
wealth to himself.
For one man to own twenty-three thousand acres
OF the beat hand in Missouri practically one stat
for hundred families to have owned two hund
red and thirty of it each. The growth Of the
big land owner is considerable factor in the
decrease Of rural population. Even though Mr.
Rankin employed more to work his fields and
feed his stock than divided ownership Of his lands
would have given work to, still 1t would be obviously
better to have owning families cultivate the soil
than casual harvesters Tenant workers..
But, for all the disadvantage of one man owner
Snip David Rankin did make his productive
necessary function Of supplying the people with
