/ Okanogan, The Land of Opportunity
Il -=The Upper Country by Gen.

After spending three weeks on his
ranch purchased in the .Methow val
ley last summer, Col Clark E. Carr
has returned to his home in Gales
burg He came out here last sum-
mer to attend the Seattle exposition
with no intentions of making any in
vestments. He was SO impressed
by the fruit exhibited from North
Central Washington that side trip
was arranged TO Wenatchee and
Lake Chelan Without visiting the
Methow valley he bought twenty
acres there and contracted to have
it set out to trees. The visit from
which he is now returning was for
the purpose of investigating his or

Col. Carr is the most distinguish
ed citizen of Galesburg and pioneer
known everywhere as a sage among
literary men and statesmen. His
words will have great weight with
hundreds Of citizens back east who
are contemplating a change of To-
cation.
While in Wenatchee on the re-
turn homeward, the colonel talked
interestingly to a reporter of the
Daily World, to whom he gave 4
copy of the following letter, written
to his brother-in-law:
Il am here in the Methow valley
through which runs a beautiful river
of the same name There are rising
on the east side of the Cascade
mountains, several rivers which run
down through beautiful valleys to
the Columbia river which flows from
the north to the south parallel with
these mountains and about forty
miles away. Some of these valleys
have become justly famous for the
fruit they produce, more especial?
apples. The oldest of these is the
Yakima. Perhaps the next Oldest
and most valuable is the Wenatchee
valley, then come the Entiat, Chelan
Methow, Okanogan and the Kettle
Falls, which latter is considerably
farther up the Columbia river. o.
these valleys the Yakima is the old
est, and has produced and is pro-
ducing enormous quantities of apples
| which go all over the world. Next
| to this Yakima valley and now be-
coming almost as famous, is the We
natchee valley Land in these two
valleys upon which trees are in bear

There have been many orchards in
bearing in these two valleys that
have sold for from $4,000 to $4,000
an acre; they pay ten per cent in
terest upon this enormous price and
therefore are worth what they sell
for. The other valleys / have men

Wheat, oats. and sufficient Indian
corn for table use, and unbounded
quantities of vegetables are raised
throughout the valley under this sys-
TEN of irrigation. But what seems
to me to be the most beautiful and
the most valuable crop outside of the
orchards, is alfalfa, green fields of
alfalfa are not surpassed in beauty
anywhere.
Now | am not writing this to in
duce you dear John, or any of my
friends in Galcsburg to come away
from there, but / do think that if
they do intend to migrate they can
find no better place to go and none
more beautiful than to an irrigated
valley similar TO this. Here it is
new of course and comparatively
crude which is why the lands are
within the reach of people of small
means. l, myself am too old a

These trees are now only one year
old but they are thrifty and will in
three or four years be in bearing.

the reason more than anything else
why these apple crops here are so
sure is because they never Gas is

Gauntts Divorced i'm Yakima.

Because Newton c. Gauntt con-
tinuOusly nagged and abused his
wife and called her vile names, SUI
perior Judge Preble Friday granted
Mary S. Gauntt divorce from the
former, says the Yakima Herald
After hearing the case, the court
found that there was absolute in.
compatibility between the pair. No
disposition was made of the two chill
dren. Alden, aged Il. and Mile
aged Is, court having found that
both parents were proper persons to
have the custody of them.
Judge Preble found that the plain
tiff's allegation that the defendant
when enraged had on several occa-
sions threatened her life, was true,
and that by the defendants treat
ment of the plaintiff he had greatly
impaired his wife's health. The
court further found that there is a
complete estrangement between the
parties.
Because Judge Preble was of the
opinion that both the plaintiff and
defendant are proper persons to have
the custody of the two children, he
awarded them to neither, saying
that he would make no disposition OF
them at this time. Each party was
given the real and personal property
in their possession.

BRITISH ROYALTY IS
EXPENSIVE
During Years King Edward
Reigned He Required
Enormous Sum.

London, Sept. 12-Although par
lament passed the appropriations
called for to support the royal house
mold after King George mounted the
throne, opposition to the great ex-
penditures entailed by royalty" has
by no means subsidized, and at the
the fight is apt to be renewed with
more than usual bitterness.
The movement will be headed by
the laborites and it is believed that
1T will be Joined by the republicans.
Whether or not they succeed in slic-
ing the appropriation for the main
tenance of the royal household, it is
certain that they will cause the king
and his supporters some uncOmfort-
able minutes. The attack is to be
made by comparing the cost of main
tanning king and president. The
figures used will be those covering
the entire reign of the late King Ed
ward. For nine years ending March
81, 1910, which practically covers
the time of his reign, Edward s
household and private expenses cost
$42, 43S,772.
The laborites maintain that Ed
wards services were hardly worth
more than those of president
would have been and that a presi-
dent could have been supported in
good style for the same period at a
cost of $1.000,000 They figure,
therefore, that to maintain a king
has cost the nation about $41,43S,-
772..
Figures for the entire reign Will
be used because in this way it is be-
lieVed the people will get better
idea of what the cost of royalty has
been to the nation

INSANITY BAR Is.
RULED OUT
Act of Last Legislature
Holding Lunacy mo De-
Tense" Unconstitutional

Olympia, Sept 1.-THE 1909 stat
ute making insanity no defense in a
criminal prosecution was declared
unconstitutional by the supreme
court today, although not more than
three of the nine members of the
court united on the same grounds
upon which the statute was held
void. Although every member of the
court held to the unconstitutionality
of the law, three separate opinions
were incorporated in the decisions,
and most of the other concurring
judges only concurred in the result
The decision comes down in the
King county case against Martin
StraSburg, charged with assault in
the first degree. Strasburg shot a
man and, under section 1859, Rem.
& Bal. code, laws of 1909, he was
denied the right to plead insanity.
The law, which was directly against
the insanity plea, provided that it
shall be mo defense to a criminal
charge that the person charged was
at the time of the commission of the
Offense unable by reason of insanity,

writing the opinion, held the law I'M
constitutional and Justices Crow and
Mount concur in the opinion.
Rudkin Finds Other Grounds.
Chief Justice Rudkin wrote an
other opinion, in which he holds that

insanity not a defense, but finds the
law unconstitutional because it

fore the lands can be purchased at
much lower prices. | have invested
in this Mcthow valley Lands in
this valley can be bought for $3.50
an acre and can be developed into
as productive and valuable an or
chard as any in either Yakima or the
| few orchards in this valley with
| mature trees which are producing
enormously, but upon nearly all the
lands the trees have been set out
within the last year and of course
are very small. These trees Will
present TO the owners in four or five
years orchards as bountiful and val
BILE as those of the Wenatchee and
Yakima valleys. 1t will cost from
$500 to $4,000 an acre to plant
these lands in apple trees and culti-
vate them until in bearing, and it is
easy for anyone to figure out what
an enormously profitable investment
| it is. A man can come here and
locate in this Methow valley and
with an investment of $4,000 have in
| few years a ten-acre orchard in
bearing. He should allow a small
amount in addition to build him a
cabin in which to house himself and
make himself and family comfort
able, although men have come here
without any capital at all and earned
money enough to pay for and develop
the land. When he has brought his
ten acres under cultivation he will
have a property that is almost GER
tain to insure him a net income of
from $4,000 to $1,000 a year. He
can buy this land at, as | said $3.50
an acre, making payment of one
fourth cash in hand and the balance
| in two, three and four years. OF
course it would be better for one to
come here with some capital, say
$4,000 to $4,000, but | know of no
better place for a man to start with
even smaller capital than this. OF
course all this proposition includes
/ to the purchaser perpetual water,
that is irrigation for every foot of
the land from the finest bitches and
fumes / have ever seen, and this
water insures with this soil, and
climate, absolutely the growth of the
trees and bountiful crops all includ-
ed in the purchase which | have de-
scribed. The bitches run down along
side the valley for dozens of miles
and are so arranged that the water
