er County Levy.

Olympia, Wash, Sept. 23-Chelan
county must pay 1851 state tax
this year instead of $71,945 levied
by the state for 1909 This is The
result of the determination of the
State Board of Equalization TO cut
the state tax levy to the last posi-
BILE point. 1t could not reduce the
state for schools and fer highways,
because those are fixed by the leg
islature. The state board hopes the t
the taxpayers will see that the coun-
ty commissioners next month reduce
the county levy and that city coUn-
ellis will reduce the state levy, be-
cause in no other way will il be
possible to accomplish what the tax
payers are demanding a reduction

Growers Are Finding That
Box Orders Are Too
Small.

The apple crop is getting larger
each day. Growers who thought
they had ordered plenty of boxes are
finding that they will have to buy
many more. In two instances, that
of D. w. Roderick and T. C. Wilson.
both had ordered four thousand
boxes and both are finding that
700 will. come nearer the number
required.
The same story is told in nearly
every orchard in the valley The
apples are larger this year than
ever before and most of the grow
ers have underestimate the amount
of their crop. One thousand boxes
per acre this year are very ordinary
and many single acres can be found
that will produce 1000 boxes this
year.
1t will be remembered that o.
France last year picked over $4,000
worth of apples from a single acre
of Winesaps. No one this year, how
ever, has been found to contest
with him for the honor of having
produced the greatest value in fruit

BANK RANCH IS A

Property Obtained on Bad
Debt Developed Into Big
Income Producer.

Some six or seven years ago the
Columbia Valley Bank was compell-
ed to take a siXty-acre ranch as a
collection on a debt Two or three
of the directors were urged TO buy
in the property for $500. One of
them said he would not even pay the
therefore left holding what was
thought to be the sack Today
this sack is worth 100000 1t
is the famous Columbia Valley Bank
Ranch, located two miles north OF
the city on the south side of the
Wenatchee river where the waters of
the canal are syphoned across the
river
Nearly all the acreage is now in
bearing-apples, pears, peaches and
grapes-and the quality of all var
ieties is incompara BILE. While tramp
ing through the orchard yesterday
afternoon, the World reporter saw
punches of grapes weighing 61a
pounds: peach trees loaded to the
limit with perfect specimens; Delic-
iOus, Spitzenberg and Jonathan ap-
pies fit for entry as contenders for
the sweepstakes at Spokane. One
Jonathan tree which will not be four
ri
duced six boxes of apples this fall,
and nearly all of them will pack
four tier
For beauty of location the bank
ranch has an ideal site. Looking
south the orchards stretch in un-
broken mass except for the city
which lies nestled among the green
foliage at the edge of the Columbia.
Turning to the left, the panorama
reveals the confluence of the two
rivers, the bend of the Columbia to-
ward the upper country winding its
way through the precipitous hills.
On the north side row of poplar
trees serves as windbrake. Stand

feet to the railroad and the river
below On the opposite side orch
ards again extend far on up into
Sunnyslope This property lies in
the very center of the richest val
ley of the world, acre for acre.
One secret of the success of the
bank ranch is in the ability of its
superintendent, T. J. Kelley. For
five years he has had entire charge
as though it were his very own. An
| owner could not take greater pride
or interest. Everything needed for
the work is always at his disposal.
All the buildings are ideal in ar
rangement and ample in size and in
equipment.
1t has been the intention of Guy
| Browne, president of the bank, for
some time, to build a mansion on
| the ranch and to make it his resi-
dence. 1t has been merely ques-
ton of being able to SO arrange his
business that he can advantageously
make Wenatchee his permanent
| home.

for one acre. Generally speaking,
though, the crop is much ahead in
quality and quantity of that pro-
duced last year.
Blackman Bros. have one of the
largest packing sheds in the valley,
but it is already too small for their
present output of apples. Fifteen
pickers are getting in the apples and
fifteen packers are busy getting them
into the boxes.
In the Blackman Bros. orchard
there is one acre alone which will
produce 1000 boxes of Winesaps.
The trees are eight years DID, The
value of the apples from this acre
will run close to $500 for this year.
In. the orchard belonging to these
men there are 1900 eight-year-old
trees, 1900 seven year and 600 six
year. The SO acres VIII produce
$4,000 boxes or approximately
$1,000 per acre this year
Last year the orchard produced
1900 boxes which sold for $4,000
The year previous when the trees
were four, five and six years old, the
SO acres produced 10000 boxes
which brought close to $4,000.

High school Boys Working Hard.


A couple of weeks of good, hard
scrimmage such as the first and Sec

to give Wenatcnee a winning team
this season. Coach Sievers is work
ing hard and the way that he is get
ting the first team into shape shows
that he is the man with the goods.
Special attention is being given to
the various weak points which were
brought to light in the Chelan game,
and if good. hard, earnest work
counts for anything, these will soon
be done away with
Dr.. Haskell, the old Harvard cap
tain, and F. G. Lemon have been out
working with the boys for the last
couple of night and their help is
certainly of great assistance. Such
spirit encourages the boys and is
greatly appreciated. If there are
any other football enthusiasts in the
city who have an hour or so in the
afternoon to spare, the boys would
like them to come up and boost up
the boys, if nothing else. There are
fine prospects of a good team this
year, but in order to make it sure
thing, they need the assistance of
all. Practice every afternoon be-
ginning about o'clock just back of
the high school building.

A Minot, N. D., dispatch says:
Those who have had any occasion

ty and this section will not be as
good as ordinarily this fall unless
there is plenty of rain between now

Hundreds of small lakes and
sloughs throughout this section where
there is usually plenty of water and
which are favorite breeding grounds
for wild ducks, are dry this year.
Old birds which nested in the smaller
lakes have left, and hundreds not
yet strong enough for long flights
have been left to shift for themselves.
In the vicinity of Sawyer one farm
er has gathered up over fifty of the
young birds and is feeding and car
ing for them.
On the other hand it is said that
the prairie chicken shooting will be
the best in years. The hens have all
reared large broods and the young
birds will be we'll matured when the

WILL CAUSE AN AWAKENING

WILL CAUSE AN AWAKENING
Cloudy crop conditions in North
Dakota have silver lining for form
er Senator H. c. Hansbrough, who is
at the West hotel, after visit to his
state, says the Minneapolis Journal.
While he estimates the small grain
crop at only 80 per cent of an average
yield, he says the farmers never were
in better condition to stand the loss.
The result will be that farmers will
reduce the acreage next year and do
better farming. In places, crops are
being plowed under, to lie fallow.
Weeds will thus be killed and the
land next year will be in fine condi-
tion. The corn crop is good this
year, and in the future the farmers
will raise more corn.
"Something has to come along like
this" said the senator, Ito call the
people back to terra firma. They
have got to flying lately.
81 don't believe ever saw the corn
crop look better in North Dakota, but
the farmers are not engaged exten-
sively in raising corn in that state.
There is no reason, however, why it
should not be as good a corn state
as South Dakota or Minnesota.
'The legislature, if it is republican
and I haven't any doubt but what it
will be, will ratify the action of the
primaries as to United States senator.

ernor. In temperament and appear
ance and in many ways he reminds
me of former Governor Johnson Of
this state.
"The democrats might as we'll NOM
mate Gov. John Burke, as rumored,
a possibility, for president as any one
else. He won't be elected.
There is plenty of money in North
Dakota. The banks are full of mon
ey. The farmers credit is good. It
would be a good thing If the conser-
vationists would conserve the mois-
ture in the air and keep comets from
sucking it out. After all Pres. Taft is
the great conservationist, as I see he
has withdrawn more than 100000
acres of coal land in North Dakota"

EASTERN CAPITAL DEVELOPING
NORTH DAKOTA MINES

New Salem, N. D., July 17.-Some
eastern parties have been here more
than two months, prospecting for coal
and have had mining engineer and
surveyor on the ground all the time.
Up to this writing they have put
down about fifteen holes in the
ground, and are now opening an en-
try into a vein of coal about one
mile south of town. This one will
be only a temporary mine, as they
start this week drilling for a second
vein, of coal which is down about
200 feet. A track will be built from
town to the mine so that they will
have good railroad facilities, and the
hauling mining will all be done by
electrical power. They are also ask
ing the village of New Salem for an
electric light and gas franchise,
which they could easily handle in
connection with their own. We un-
derstand the present outlay of capi-
tai to get it running is something
like $14,50O ad will employ about
sixty men until the lower vein Is
ready for operation, which will take
about $50 men to operate. The
company will be known as the Dakota
Coal Products Co., but who are the
hackers of 1t nobody knows other
than it is some eastern capitalists
~hoh nave thoroughly looked over the
ground, done their prospecting, pur-
chased land and secured options on
a lot more. They expect to be oper-
ating the temporary mine by the
later part of next week, which leads
us all to believe that the new pro-
ject is sure thing and that it will
be only a matter of a short time be-
fore they will be doing business on a
large scale.

ment at the big tent Monday. There
was large attendance in the after
noon and a good attendance at the
evening performance. Some of the
ring numbers were fine, the aerial
act by the Lamy Brothers being one
Of the cuief features. The trapeze
work and tare back riding were also
good. The trained elephants, al
ways objects Of great interest and
curiosity, did good work in the ring.
The troupe Of clowns and foolish,
funny fellows kept the people in good
humor.
In. the menagerie the three little
tiger cubs we're sallo&ed to play uD"h
the ground and were handled like
kittens BY visitors at the circus. The
baby tigers are only six weeks old,
but are pretty solid little kittens.
All the usual old time circus busi-
ness was to be seen around the
grounds. The side shows had their
share of visitors who witnessed the
Punch and Judy debate, oldest of
rural comedy, popular in Shakes
speare's time. They saw the tattooed
Emant the freaks of nature and the
snake charmer in his den of snakes
handling lizards and alligators and
playing tag with big rattle snake
whose buzzer kept going at hi*h
speed. This spectacle fascinated or
, disgusted curious crowds all the
time: The muscle dancers had a
Fshow of their own, which drew heav-
lily upon the masculine attendance.
The Campbell Brothers will get an
other good house If they come this
way again. They go to Valley City,
