$500 CARLOADS Of FRUIT
ESTIMATED YIELD THIS YEAR
Danger of Frosts in This Valley Is Over
and the Wenatchee Valley This Year
Even With Low Prices Will Produce
S2,5OO,OOO Worth of Fruit

Inspector Darlington urges the
growers to get busy at once and
secure their boxes, paper and other
material needed this fall.
President Hill, Of the Great Nor
thern, recently sounded a warning
and stated that though the railway
officials were making every effort
to secure new equipment, yet In his
judgment there would be great
freight congestions all over the
Northwest this coming year. This
being the case it would naturally
follow that the growers should be-
gin to look ahead and provide them
selves with the materials that will
be needed.
Lots of Cheap Land Here Yet.
The larger proportion of the fruit
belt CT the Wenatchee valley Is not
in bearing yet. Hundreds Of acres
will come in next year for the first
time and every year the fruit acre
age In bearing will be increased. 1t
will be several years yet before there
will be any output from East Wenat-
chez. This year there is greater
acreage of raw land being planted
than ever before. The East has a
mistaken idea as to the Wenatchee
valley. There has been too much
said about the high priced bearing
orchard land and the idea given that
there was no cheap land adjacent to
Wenatchee. Wenatchee citizens are
planting hundreds of acres this year
of raw land that is being watered
either from old bitches or from the
Columbia river by means of pumping
plants, and this will continue for
years to come Up and down the
Columbia river and on the higher
benches cheap raw land is being re-
claimed by pumping processes. There
are hundreds of acres going into
fruit this year above the high line
and East Wenatchee. No. 1, No. 2
and No. 3 Canyons west of the city
are also being watered by means of
pumping plants, taking water from
the High Line. Sunnyslope has fur
nished a considerable area of cheap
land that is being reclaimed this
spring, and it takes very little effort
to locate cheap land closely adjacent
to Wenatchee that may be watered
either from the Columbia river OF
from the old bitches.

it is not on the record.

D0PESTERS WATCH
ELECTIONS
POLITICAL STARGAZERS GUESS
AT THINGS THAT WILL HAP
PEN AT POLLS IN FALL ALL
LOOKS GOOD TO INSURGENTS.

Washington, April 9.-Washing-
tons politicians are doing a little
figuring with the results Of the re-
cent elections over the country as a
basis. Although the elections were
all municipal, and are admittedly not
very important in getting line on
the sentiment of the people in re-
gard to national issues, the iopesters
have been able to adduce a few con-
illusions.
One of the conclusions is that it
is a good year for insurgents, and
that the independent voter is very
much on the job.
Individual Votes Count.
The election in Chicago, fought
out largely on the question of local
administration, which resulted in the
defeat of a number of republicans
the council, is one of the things on
which the conclusion is based.
In Chicago two Independents were
elected. In Milwaukee, where the
socialists carried the important Of
fees and a majority of the council,
the Independent voter, according to
the dopesters, got in his good work.
The disregard for party lines, and
the switching of votes out of the
regular columns to the support of
the socialistic candidate is considered
the cause for the decided victory of
the socialistic ticket. The percent Of
socialists is very much below the per
cent of the vote they received, the
dopesters say.
Democrats Are Pleased.
Democrats are pleased with the
showing in Chicago and on the basis
it furnishes for being optimistic are
today predicting big democratic
gains in the fall elections.
Not the least interesting comment
is that heard regarding the action of
the republican state convention in
Indianapolis. The insurgents see in
it a great insurgent movement
throughout the west.

District inspector Darlington last
winter made the estimate of $500
carloads of fruit from the Wenatchee
valley this year, providing there was
no damage this spring from frosts.
The inspector and growers have no
apprehension now of frosts. The dan
ger season is past and today Mr.. OAR
lington reiterated his estimate made
last winter.
Mr. Darlington's estimate was
based on 1000 carloads of apples,
COO carloads of peaches and 900 car
loads of apricots, cantaloupes, melons
and vegetables. Roughly speaking
this means 80 train loads of 40 cars
each, or three solid fruit trains each
day for thirty days. 1t is no wonder
that Traffic Manager Costello, when
told Wednesday night of the expect
atoms in the fruit line of this val
ley, said that it is up to the Great
Northern officials to get busy in pro-
viding equipment to handle this great
output.
Two thousand carloads of apples
with 600 boxes to the carload makes
100000 boxes, and even at the
low average of $3.50 per box, this
means a revenue OF $1,S00,000.
Six hundred carloads of peaches
with 1000 boxes to the car, makes
100000 boxes, and at 40 cents
per box, means $4,000 from the
peach crop.
Figuring the 900 carloads of april
cots, melons and vegetables at about
$500 to the carload-this would give
a return of $450,000, or a total from
the apple, peach, apricot and vege-
tables of s2,490,000. This is con-
sidered a very conservative estimate
from the coming fruit crop.
The item of boxes alone is go
ing to be a considerable one. There
will probably be spent 100000 for
apple boxes, 100000 for peach box
es and approximately $4,000 for
the apricots, melons and vegetable
boxes.
1t is going to take an army OF
help to handle this crop this year,
and the children, women and all
the men possible will be pressed in
to service, and it is safe to say that
this fall money will be freer here
than ever before in the history OF
the valley.

CONTESTS DESERT
CLAIM
L. w. BLOOM HTIGATING FOR
VALUABLE TRACT ADJACENT
TO MOSES LAKE-CASE HEARD
AT EPHRATA LAST NIGHT.

L. w. Bloom, who has been in Eph-
rata before United States Land Com
missioner Davis, contesting for $40
first filed upon by j. J. Reilly, re-
turned to the city this morning. His
case came up before the commits
sioner last night and much of the
testimony presented the day before
in the O'Sullivan case was accepted
by the court.
The tract contested for by Mr..
Bloom Is the east half of section 80,
township 20, range q E. w. M. In
the early days of February he went
over this land and entered his con-
test case because no improvements
had been made on the desert claim.
Mr. Bloom testified that he had gone
over the place and found it in this
condition and introduced witnesses to
corroborate the same. w. H. Lud-
den, of Spokane, acted as his attor-
ney.
Reilly was one of the McConihe
entrymen and the land involved Is
part of the big tract that is being con-
tested
The United States land Office and
the department of the interior are
taking more than ordinary interest
in the disposition of the test cases,
as the decision will affect some 49,
900 acres in Grant and Douglas coun-
ties.
This land, at one time considered
worthless, has with the possibility OF
water being successfully brought up
on it, advanced in value until the
prize being fought for now amounts
to more than 100000.

Reed, a rancher of Wenatchee, re-
posed in a chair at the waiting room

of a resting place.

Reed in one corner of the room, and
noting the fact that he and Reed
were quite alone, the hobo must have
gently thrust his fingers into the
rancher's pockets and removed his
purse containing $50 in gold and $40
in currency.
Reed awoke at 8 o'clock and
walked to the ticket Office to pur-
chase a ticket He reached into his
pocket for his cash.

RUNAWAY CABOOSE
CATASTROPHE

No. 8, which passed through here
on No. is time yesterday, had Sc
ries of troubles in the east. Bad wea-
ther interfered with the schedule and
the train was some ten hours late
on reaching here. Just before reach
ing Merritt yesterday afternoon, No.
3 was struck by caboose which had
started on a runaway from Berne.
The caboOse was completely de-
molished and the big engine on No. 3
was badly crippled. This stalled the
train here several hours. The engine
had to be taken to Leavenworth for
repairs and a new one substituted.
The track was also damaged con-
siderably and this had to be repaired
and resulted in No. not getting in
here until about 7 o'clock last night.
