STOCK SELLERS
TOWN IS EASY
MANY GAMES WORKED IN PAST.
TWELVE MONTHS - VICTIMS
GROW WISER BUT GIVE NO
WARNINGS.

Selling worthless or untried stocks
in Wenatchee is a favorite method
of outsiders to separate Wenatchee
people from their surplus money. 1t
has been estimated that fully $4,000
of Wenatchee money has been taken
elsewhere in the past twelve months
by representatives of "get rich easy"
concerns. Exact figures are hard to
get as persons who have been vic
timized do not like to tell their ex-
periences. The original Barnum said
something about there being a sucker
born every minute, and later Bar
NUNS have not only agreed with that
statement but go further with the as
sertion by saying that some of the
suckers never outgrow the habit.
when is a good time to go down
there and clean up those Wenatchee
farmers?" asked Seattle man who
had some investment bonds to sell.

Other Schemes.
Coal stock, patent switches first in

instead of leaving some here, are
among the happy little gratis that
made strangers get rich easy.

Cases of Good Faith but Improved

Cases of good faith where the
worth of the stock proposition is
questionable are common. Not long
ago stock in a company headed by
a local man, that was organized to
exploit a new tangled power-head,
for irrigation pumps, was offered
here. Those who bought in haste
are realizing now that while the COM

WILL RECLAIM BIG
TRACT

Wilson Creek, Wash, May 30
Since the big irrigation projects of
the Pettigrew and McConihe people
have been started in southern Grant
county numerous smaller tracts of
land are being prepared for irriga-
ton and fruit culture. One of these
is the property of Messrs. J. Hoskins,
Kryder and Etter, who are putting
400-acre tract under water in tn Crab
Creek coulee, Is miles south of Will
son Creek in section 26, township 20,
range %.
The company plans to spend $780,
900 on it's pumping plant, construc-
ton of fumes, laterals, ETC., carrying
water from the lake three miles away,
and they estimate that when the ORR
ginal work of getting water on the
land is completed, it will cost only
So an acre to irrigate.
"I have had experience in raising
fruit in both the Rogue River and
Hood River Districts" said Mr.. Hos
kins, in discussing the project, "and
I believe that southern Grant county
will raise as fine Spitzenberg apples
as the Rogue River district, where
they have been known to take $4,000
worth of apples off a f1ve-acre tract.
The new railway lines being run
through southern Grant county by
the Milwaukee and Northern Pacific
is giving landowners chance to get
their produce to market, which has
always been the drawback in that
region before, and in the last twelve
months, taking the south half Of the
county generally, land values have
increased $40 an acre.

 Fire Added to the Horror. {.
 Fire broke out Immediately, adding its horror to the disaster. The firemen displayed great heroism in rescuing scores of people from perilous positions in the jagged and tottering walls. Some of the walls had to come down before the work of recovering the bodies could be safely attempted and it was not until after 6 o'clock this evening that the first body charred and man gled beyond recognition, was brought out.
 Buried Under Debris.
 Bindery girls and linotype men fell through the huge gap in the floors or the building and were quickly buried under machinery and timbers.

There was g. slight creaking; then little more. somewhat more pronounced; but it was not until the ceiling plaster be- gan to fall that rush for the stair way began. Before anyone reached it there occurred a final deafening crash and then chaos. Some survivors de- scribe their falling one and two floors before the awful crash died away and they found themselves able to crawl in the dense dust to place of safety. The majority sought safety by rushing to the front building facing on Vic- toria square.
 300 Persons in the Building.
 Fortunately all the floors held for about thirty feet back from the front wall. and to this is due the fact that the death list does not run into the hundreds, for there were nearly 300 people in the building at the time.
