MRS. EDDY TO APPEAR
Demonstration" Over Death En-
pected by Mrs. StetsOn.

New York, Dec 30.-In the first
interview Mrs. Augusta f. Steason,
formerly a director of the First
Church OF Christ, Scientist, in this
city, has given since the death of
Mrs. Mary Baker G. Eddy, she made
the positive statement last night that
she expects Mrs. Eddy will yet
demonstrate" over death.
4 believe" she said, that Mrs.
Eddy will make a manifestation,
that she will reveal herself to me
and others-to the outside world.
The same situation exists today as
when Jesus of Nazareth was buried.
after three days he manifested
himself to prove that there is life
after death. Mrs. Eddy will do the
same, for she occupies in the world
today precisely the same position
that Jesus occupied in his day.
cit may take longer for Mrs. Ed
dy to pass through the experience
of material death to determination
of everlasting life: it may not occur
for years, or it may occur tomorrow;
but she will manifest herself and
all men shall know of it.

Hundred Couples.

The largest attendance at any
social function so far this year was

music and most CT the evening was
spent in dancing. There were
waltzes, twosteps, few schottisches
and the popular barn dance. At II
o'clock refreshments were served.
The committee in charge was Cap
tain C. C. Griggs, Walter Thomas
and f. w. Whalen.
Mr.. and Mrs. Percy Scheble as

which were extraordinarily attract
i've. Evergreens and festoons of diff

THIS CLIMATE IS
HEALTHY
Everett Physicians Pres
cribe Wenatchee Sunshine
for Their Patients.

NJ. S. Hanover, of the Everett
Brewing company, returns to his
home in Everett today, much i'm
proved in health. after sojourning
by his wife.
Mr.. Hanover was in a very seri-
Gus condition physically and his ply
stefan urged him to try a change of
climate, recommending Wenatchee
particularly. The effect has been
so beneficial that he is able to re-
turn home today where his business
will be so rarranged that he can re-
turn the middle of next month and
remain here a month or two until
entirely recovered.
Instances are now becoming more
and more frequent of Puget Sound
physicians recognizing the saluhri-
Gus climate of Wenatchee as being
a panacea for many ills. As Wenat-
chez becomes more and more the
city beautiful, its attractiveness as
health resort will increase. The
unusually good hotels here already
help in this respect. When the
streets are beautified with shade
trees and good roads cover not only
the city but the trunk roads out
through the valley and over the
mountains. undoubtedly life in this
section will be an attraction for
many visitors.

S TOR Els INVOICING
Many Business Institutions Arc Busy
These Days Taking Invoice of
Their Stocks.

Several Of the mercantile estab-
lishments of the city are busily en-
gagged this week taking inventory.
An effort is being made by most of
them to complete this work this
week, so as to start the new year
with the invoicing out of the way.
The holiday week is quite gener-
ally expected to be light in trade,
giving more time for this extra work
than any other part of the year.
The mild winter weather also is
holding off trade this week. Should
snow storm come within the next
few days, the month of January will
prove TO be a record breaker for
business. Most of the winter neces-
tiles have not been purchased.

NEW INSURANCE
FIRM
L. v. Wells is Joined by E.
S. Alley of Tacoma in
Insurance Business.

Announcement is made today of a
new insurance firm. Alley & Wells.
E. S. Alley of Tacoma selected this
city as having the best prospects for
a general insurance business of any
place he has foun din his travels in
the northwest. While looking for a
location he met L. V. Wells, and
the result of negotiations between
them is the formation of this firm.
They will use the offices of Mr..
Wells in the Columbia Valley Bank
building, facing Orondo, which are
now being remodeled. The firm will
do a general insurance business. in
Guiding life, accident, liability, bond
ing and fire insurance. Mr.. Wells
will continue his real estate business
as a separate proposition from the
insurance feature.
The rear of the room has been en-
engineer, who will pass out of Office
next month. He will engage in gen.
eral civil engineering. A door is be-
ing cut through the present parti-
ton separating the hear room from
Mr.. Wells present Office. A passage
way to the front is being made, THUS
giving Mr.. Ward access to his Office,
both from the hallway of the bank
and through the Alley & Wells Of
fee.

LECTURE COURSE
FOR GROWERS
Commercial Club May EN-
ploy E. r. Trumble for
Series of Tree Talks.

At the meeting of the Commercial
Club trustees last night, it was de-
cided to employ f. r. Tumble, hor-
ticulturiSt of the Wenatchee high
school, to give a series Of ten lee
lures on horticulture. provided there
is a demand on the part of the mem
bers. The first event will probably
take place about the 18th of next
month. The lectures would he free
to members, the object being to pro-
vide benefits of a very tangible and
direct nature to the rancher mem
bers of the club.
Two lectures will be given a
week, one in the afternoon and one
in the evening of different days
The object of this arrangement is to
arrange the hours SO as to make it
convenient both for those who pre-
fer an afternoon and an evening.
The topics will be so chosen AMI
handled that enjoyment and bene-
fit from the lectures will not de-
pend upon hearing the entire series
A feature of the lectures will be
a question box. At the close of the
address everybody present will be
given an opportunity to ask the
speaker any questions desired
Practical subjects will thus be dis
cussed and the actual problems Of
the growers solved to q great ex-
tent.
The only thing which will prevent
the contamination of this course
will be apathy on the part of grow
ers. 1t is desired that all those
members of the club, whether citi-
zens or orchardists, who desire to
hear such course of lectures to be
given free. will phone to either the
secretary of the club or any of the
trustees.

HOOK AND LADDER
NEEDS TEAM
Equipment Expected to Ar
rive Any Day Must
Have Good Team

The new hook and ladder wagon
for the fire department, built at a
cost of $4,000, will arrive almost
any day. 1t was shipped the 18th
of this omnth from Kenosha, Wis.
1t is now three days overdue.
The contract with the builders
was signed on Sept. 14th. They
were allowed ninety days in which
to make the outfit to order. The
agent stated, however, that he would
verbally promise a delivery within
sixty days Not only has the limit
Of ninety days passed, but if there
should be tieup in the mountains,
the delay might be serious.
The next problem is how the hook
and ladder wagon is to be supplied
with a team. The right kind of
horses will cost $500 or $500. A
team of half brothers to the present
team can be had for $3.50. But
where is this amount to come from?
The city has no money.
The present team was purchased
by public subscription handled by
the boys of the fire department.
They are unwilling to circulate an
other subscription list. Chief Throw
thinks that some of the taxpayers
should get busy and raise the nee
essary amount among those who
will volunteer what they can afford,
1t seems peculiar situation that
the city could afford to purchase a
$4,000 hook and ladder outfit, but
cannot set aside $500 to provide a
team to pull the wagon. This dill
lemma arises from the fact that
when the recent bond was being
fixed. it was necessary to designate
the purposes for which the money
was to be used The council at that
time found it quite convenient to
put down the fire department for
$4,000.
This is where the money came
from to buy the expensive outfit.
The funds from the sale of the bonds
have now all been exhausted and
none are left with which to get a
suitable team. The wagon must
therefore remain useless until pub
lie subscription fills the breach as
in the former instance when horses
we're needed.
