EDITORS MEET AT HOQUIAM RAINBOW TROUT FOR IOlE
Forty Thousand Trout from Spokane Hatch
cry Arrived Here Wednesday

Forty thousand rainbow trout arrived
here Wednesday afternoon from the
Spokane hatchery for planting in the
Icicle river. They were in charge OF
M. E. Carr, William Stevens and
George Hoxsey, who left the same day
for the Icicle regions. 1t is the pur-
pose of the planters to go up the stream
about twenty miles and to distribute
the fish into the streams that empty into
the Icicle. 1t was the intention OF DR..
HoxseY, game warden for this section, TO
accompany the trio, but on account of
other business he was unable to go.
The placing of the trout in this noted
stream looks good to local anglers.
The Icicle river has always been con-
sidered one OF the best, if not the best,
fishing streams in the state, but in late
years it has been pretty we'll fished out.
1t will probably be three or four years
before the trout being planted will be
OF any size. An effort will probably be
made to stock other streams in this
section with the fnny tribe in the near
f1lture

Confidently Believed That Order For the Extension Will Be
Issued In the Near Future
CAN Be COMPLETED BEFORE WINTER ARRIVES
Opening Of Marble Quarry Will Give Employment Large Number Of MeI
and Add to the Already Large Payroll of
edsgnwOrh

John D. Atkinson, manager OF the
Onyx Marble company, spent the last
ten days here and up at the company's S
quarry on Chikamin creek. He left for
Seattle Tuesday afternoon, intending to
return next week. While here he took
up the matter of extending the Wenat-
chez Valley & Northern railway to the
company's quarry, a distance of some
fourteen miles from the present term
mus of the railroad in the Chewawa
river valley, fifteen miles west Of
Leavenworth. Mr.. Mackay, represent
ing the owners of the railroad, was in
conference with Mr.. Atkinson and made
a trip over the line and proposed exten-
sion last week. The Echo is authorized
to say while the deal for the extension
has not been closed the outlook is very
favorable for this arrangement to be
made at an early day.
1t is understood that the Wenatchee
Valley company looks with favor on
such extension of their line and is dis

posed to make very liberal terms. The
big lumber company owns some very
valuable timber in the vicinity of the
marble quarry and would ultimately
extend the line anyway.
AS soon as this matter of extending
the railroad is closed there will be some
thing doing at the marble quarry. The
matter Of transportation is now the only
obstacle in the way Of activity on the
part OF the marble company. All the
other arrangements for an active cam
paign have been perfected.
1t is confidently believed that the
order for an extension OF the Wenatchee
Valley & Northern railway will be issued
within the next two weeks. The dis
tance to be covered is approximately
fourteen miles with an easy grade and
no obstacles OF consequence to over
come. Manager Mcdonald said to the
writer that if given the men he could
easily complete the line before winter
sets in.

Cost of Growing Apples

We are glad that readers are begin
ming to discuss in earnest the question
Of cost OF growing apples, says the
Fruit Grower. The articles on this sub
ject which have appeared have opened
the eyes of many persons to items OF
cost which hitherto they had not con-
sidered. There is one point which no
one seems TO have touched upon in
in the articles, and that is the cost oil
caring for an orchard in an off year. In
trying to determine whether apple
growing is profitable or not we must
take into account the years OF short
crops. The cost OF caring for the or
chard in these off years must be appor-
toned over the years Of plenty, and
this will increase the cost OF producing
fruit in the years when the yield is
heavy. It is interesting to read some
of the literature OF land boomers, in
presenting figures showing what can be
made by growing apples. These state
ments usually count on full crop OF
fruit every year, whereas we all know
that there will be years OF short crops,
if not absolute failures, and these must
be reckoned with in trying so deter
mine the profits Of an orchard.

LARGE PROFITS IN HAY CROP
Few Crops so Well Adapted to This LOCAL.
ty as Timothy Hay

This is time oil harvest talk. Through
out the country, from the hired hand
on ten acre farm to the millionaire in
his Wall street counting house, the talk
is Of the crops, and the yield which
bountiful nature will likely vouchsafe
the country this season. The question
is OF vital interest TO the business and
prosperity of the country.
In all the discussion Of the harvest
yields, it appears that the hay crop has
been much neglected. A loss of 50,-
100000 bushels OF wheat sets the grain
exchanges crazy and excites two-thirds
Of the world. A threat of frost injuring
the corn crop causes sleepless nights
for the holders of railroad stocks, and
starts panics in the exchanges of the
globe. Talk of the cotton wevil causes
industrial depression in the South. But
nothing is ever heard of the condition
OF the hay crop.
Next to the corn crop, the crop OF
hay raised in the United States is the
most valuable single crop raised in this
country. Last year the hay raised in
this country was valued at the enorm-
nous sum of $3.50, 100000, fully one
fifth of all the agricultural wealth raised
during the year. We hear much OF the
importance of the wheat crop, but in
the last three years the wheat crop has
averaged in value only $444, 900, 900,
while the hay crop has averaged $685.
100000. Cotton is called the king
in the south but its greatest value of
crop in any one year was $469, 900, 900.
The combined value of oats, barley,
rye and buckwheat crops of the country
are 5000, 100000 less than that Of the
hay crop. The farmers of the land
could better suffer a total loss of the
wheat or cotton or the small grain crop
than the loss of the hay crop.
Then why is it that we hear so little
of the progress of the hay crop2 The
answer seems to lie in the fact that hay
is less subject to injury than any OF the
other crops. Weather and care make
little difference to it. If the season is
too wet, the hay grows on the uplands
in abundance. If it is too dry, the farm
ers cut hay in the sloughs and marshes.
If the season is normal, hay grows ev-
erywhere. In most sections OF the
country two crops are gathered. Even
in Alaska one good crop grows. When
all else fails the farmer usually has his
hay.
Then let US not forget the hay crop.
From the rocky fields OF Maine to
the fertile fields of Washington, and
from the glacil valleys of Alaske to the
tropical hills OF Florida, it grows all
alike. Second in value only to King
Corn, and furnishing one-ffth of the
agricultural wealth of the country, with
out doubt the best friend of the Amer
ican farmer

In the case of Lewis Mullerleille and
wife against Gustav Brandt and wife,
the superior court of Chelan county is
reversed by the supreme court. The
plaintiffs bought horse of the defend
ants, which was represented to be
gentle, kind and a good driving horse,
and he ran away with Mrs. Mullerleille
when she was driving him, injuring her
and smashing a SIS buggy. A suit was
brought to recover $50 as the value
of the horse, SIS for the buggy and
$275 for injuries to Mrs. Mullerleille
and the lower court awarded damages
of $275. The supreme court reversed
the case because the lower court neg
lected to allow evidence as to the time
OF the accident to go before the jury,
and also evidence as TO the alleged
neglect of the woman.
