John Lind for governor on county

Mr.. Lind could not be persuaded to
accept the nomination except on a
county option platform. Congress
man w. S. Hammond, who, next to
former Governor Lind, has been most
prominently mentioned for the head
of the ticket, has given the delegates
to understand that he does not care

Some day north central Washing
ton will be known as the abode of
more rich men than any other agri-
cultural or horticultural section in
the country. Scarcely a day passes
that one or two of these embryonic
millionaires from some of the re-
mote corners of the apple empire
does not appear on the streets of
Wenatchee, the capital of the apple
kingdom. The number of rich men
in and around Wenatchee at the pres
ct time is limited chiefly by the faith
that citizens in this locality five or
six years ago possessed in the future
of what was then a barren waste.

PLEASURE TRIP FOR
SUNDAY
Special Train Will Leave at
9 A. M. for New Town
of Merritt.

The first pleasure excursion to
leave Wenatchee is scheduled for next
Sunday morning. A special train will
leave here at 8 a. m. for Merritt and
will leave that place at p. M, ar
irving here in the early evening. A
special fare of $1.75 has been secured
for the round trip and stops will be
made at all stations between We
natchee and Merritt.
F. A. Reynolds is the promoter OF
the excursion to this place and 1t is
with the idea of acquainting the peo-
pie of Wenatchee with Merritt as the
place for a summer home. Year by
year the local people are beginning to
appreciate the fact that summer
homes are a necessity, but it is also
realized that they must be located
convenient to the railroad and not too
far away, making it possible for the
business man to locate his family at
his home and then make occasional
trips back and forth. There is no
more beautiful place in the state for
a summer home than Merritt and 1t
has the advantage of being but few
minutes ride from the city. The trip
Sunday will give an opportunity to look
into this mater.

Five years ago F. B. Chapman was
a wholesale leather dealer in Bill
ings, Mont. Thinking the opportuni-
ties"of investment might be still bet
ter further on west, he came out to
Ephrata, Wash. After looking
around a bit, he purchased $500
acres of raw land just west of the
lower end of Moses lake, paying IS
per acre. His friends and even To-
cal residents said the man was a fool
1t was simply vast desert far away
from civilization.
The second chapter reads different
ly. Last year Mr.. Chapman sold A.
500 acres of his holdings at from
SIS to $40 per acre-none less than
SIS. He is holding the balance of
'it-2,200 acres and nobody knows
what he will get out of that. Most
of it is good fruit land, and an in
exhaustible supply of water is avail
able by sinking 10-foot wells.
The sale of the $500 acres was
made to the Milwaukee Railroad
Townsite company, who in turn sold
it to another development concern.
They have plated the project into
40 acre tracts and have placed them
on the market in the east. All Of
which, it may be observed, is not
calculated to decrease the value Of
Mr.. Chapman's remaining holdings.
