PRESIDENT or THE GREAT NORTHERN
Gets Off Here to Make Auto Trip from
Leavenworth to Wenatohee

Louis w. Hill, president Of the Great
Northern railway, accompanied by Geo.
B. Harris, Chairman of the board Of
directors of the C. B. & Q. railway, ar
rived here Tuesday morning in a private
car and were met by w. T. Clark, the
great irrigation promoter from Wenat-
natchee, with his touring car and left
on a tour of inspection of the irrigation
canal Mr.. Clark is promoting near this
place, the Icicle Canal, and then con-
tinuing the tour on down the valley to
Wenatchee, where the party were to be
entertained by the commercial club OF
that place at a two o'clock luncheon.
Whether the trip had special signif-
canoe this paper is not advised, but
when railroad presidents make trips Of
this kind there is usually an end in view.
This paper suspects it has some con-
nection with the electric line which
certain parties are promoting between
Wenatchee and Leavenworth and for
which they have asked the council OF
Wenatchee to grant them franchise.

"DRY" OR WEI "
Liquor Consumption in the United States
for the Year 1910

The figures given out by the bureau
of statistics show the total consumption
of distilled spirits last year was 133, $685.
ga gallons. This is an increase of
more than 13, 900, 900 gallons as com
pared with the year 1909 and makes
the greatest total consumption in the
history of the American people, except
ing the year 1907, when the total was
Just in excess of 140,000,000 gallons.
The total wine consumption was Co.,
548,O78 gallons. This is several hun
dred thousand gallons less than 1909,
but, with that exception and 1907, is
the highest in our history. The total
consumption of malt liquors, that is to
say of beer, was 1,851,256 gallons.
This is not only in excess Of last year,
but exceeds, every other year in our
history.
When we come to the matter OF per
capita consumption, we find that the
average American man, woman or child
drank last year 1.43 gallons of spirits
(chiehy, of course, in the form Of whis-
ky); .65 gallons of wine, and 1890
gallons OF matted liquors. total OF
21.88 gallong for every man, woman
and child in the United States.
In its editorial column the National
Prohibitionist, commenting upon the
statistics above quoted, says: The
final figures upon liquor consumption
for the year 1910 may be regarded as
definitely settling it that the temper
ance cause is not making the great
progress that some Of our friends try
to fancy; that the process Of voting the
country dry by towns and counties
and states is proving dead, fiat failure" "

Alaska Coal Situation

In a recent issue Of Seattle week
ly, William T. Prosser declares the
blame for the present Alaska coal situ-
alton is squaely up TO President Taft,
and that the chief executive could ac-
comphsh the relief desired by Alaskans
with an executive order that might take
ten minutes to prepare. He points
out that with Alaska coal and oil lands
opened 5000 men would at once be
set to work building the Alaska North
ern railroad 500 miles into the Mata-
nuska coal fields; the Copper River &
Northwestern, and at least one other
railway would build into the Bering
Lake district; great power plants would
be built with the Tannana coal fields as
base, supplying electrical energy to
dredges and stamp mills all through
central Alaska; that the gold output Of
the Northern territory would be in
creased from S20,OO0,000 to $780,
00o,O 900 a year, and that unlimited
quantities of coal and oil-the oil from
the Katalla fields in addition to the
flow now available and being developed
there-would be rendered of service
10 Pacific Coast industries.

Far-Sighted Forest Policy

France has under way far-sighted
forest policy which. will require two
centuries before the work reaches its
greatest efficiency THE plan covers
the reforestation of vast tracts Of denud-
ed land, and the work is in the hands
of 1000 trained foresters in the pay of
the republic, and large number OF
men employed by the communal
governments.
Consul General K. P. Skinner tells
how this work is being done by great
nation keenly alive to the necessity OF
doing it and determined that it shall be
done well, though years and centuries
are consumed in the doing, Colbert,
in the reign of Louis XIV, exclaimed:
France will perish for lack of wood, !"
and his prophecy was coming true a
century and a half later, when the
French people walked to the peril that
threatened them and called a halt.
Their forests were vanishing, as are
those of the United States today; but
the depletion had gone even farther
than it has yet gone in America. France
commenced protecting and restoring its
wooded areas nearly a century ago, and
has stuck to the task ever since; but
so much yet remains to do that Mr..
Skinner says in his report:
The work is slow. 1t will require
probably 200 years to bring it up to its
maximum effectiveness. But the time
is foreseen when existing damaged for
ests will be reconstructed, and when all
the waste spaces will be replanted to
the point of proper proportion to insure
the conservation of the water supply
and to furnish the timber and wood re-
quired by the population. The effect
upon private land owners of this public
work has been most salutary. Where
absolutely bald mountains have been
replanted very surprising local results
are now visible to all observers. This
is especially true in the Heutes Alps,
which had the unenviable reputation Of
being the poorest department in France
and is, in fact, one Of the few from
which the United States had received
several thousand French emigrants.
There are now many artifcially-planted
forests in this department of Is years
standing, and in the bottom land
conditions have so improved that state
Of general prosperity prevails.

EASTERN FINANCIERS HERE
Two Touring Cars Arrived Yesterday With
Eastern Financiers Guests of Hon. Ar
thur Gum of Wenatehee

Hon. Arthur Gum, ex-state senator
from this district, headed a party OF
of eastern financiers, some OF whom
have financial interests in the Wenat-
chez valley, accompanied by others
who are on a tour Of inspection
and may become interested, arrived
here yesterday in two autos, having
driven up thru the valley from Wenat-
chez. They went up thru the Cascade
Orchards and on up the Icicle valley
as far as it was practical in their ma
chimes
Mr.. Gum is interested in and man
ager OF the Wenatchee Valley Gas &
Electric Co., and has for years had his
eyes on the latent electrical energy
stored up in that tumbling mountain
stream. He acquired some rights there
several years ago and but. for the inan-
cial disturbance in the latter part of
1907, the shadow OF which still hovers
ever the country and acts as damper
on every large enterprise, he would
have commenced on a power plant on
the Icicle river long since.
The attention of the party was called
to the steel plant under construction at
this place and also to the mountain of
excellent marble found near Leaven-
worth
The evidence of prosperity and build
ing activity on every hand made quite
favorable impression on the party.
The visit of party OF eastern moneyed
men to this section can do nothing but
good, for the reason that it is to the
east that we must look for the capital
to develop our resources.
Mr.. Gum, who is in charge of the
party, is one of the most prudent, care
full and resourceful business men in
Chelan county. Has lived here for
years. Know the connties needs and
possibilities. Enjoys the confidence
and respect Of large number Of in
huential business men, who have con-
fdence in his judgment. His endorse
ment Of any project for the building Of
power plants will have weight with
those who have the capital to invest in
such an enterprise. Just what will
grow out OF the visit of these eastern
gentlemen it is too soon to venture an
opinion, but something may be reason
ably expected to follow their visit.
The party is made up largely Of
bankers and business men from Phila-
delphia, some of whom are accom-
panied by ladies. Following are the
names of those composing the party:
L. H. Oliver, John B. Fasset, H. P.
Read, Mrs. H. P. Read, Miss Read,
T. M. Dunn, N. T. Drake, w. H.
Windus, J. w. Van Valzah, VIM. A.

CHAMPS GET AWFUL BEATING
Wenatchee Wins Game BY Score of S to
o. Skykomish Here Sunday and Inter
esting Game Anticipated

SSuVS OdiItc FAuttNlputcu
Before the largest crowd ever gath
cred at the Wenatchee ball park this sea-
son, The Champs got their worst beat
ing for years. What the trouble really
was we have been unable to find out.
But some of the excursionists say that
the bunch seemed TO be dead on their
feet, which was no doubt the case.
1t wasn't very enthusiastic crowd
that left here at noon, and it was a still
gloomier one that returned in the
evening.
The game was called at 8 o'clock
and it only required an hour and thirty
minutes for the Wenatcheeites to slip
over a score of 5 to 0.
Brown did the twirling for the We
natchee bunch and did better work
than any pitcher who has faced Lea
venworth batter this season, getting II
strikeouts and allowing but four hits.
Roberts, doing the pitching for our
bunch, did not do quite as well, get
ting only two strikeouts in the game.
But he surely had something on the
ball which puzzled the Wenatchee
bunch. Nearly everybody up smashed
the ball, but they only resulted in pop
ups or slow grounders, which were
easily felded. Quigley and Fuller
were the only ones to get long drives,
both men getting two baggers.
Several times during the game
Leavenworth men got as far as third
base with no one out, and it did not
seem possible to keep the men from
scoring. The signals were changed
just before leaving here and the play
ers no doubt got them mixed. The
squeeze play was attempted three
times and the runner was put out in
each instance.
The Wenatchee bunch began scor-
ing in the fourth inning, getting in
two runs; one run came in the sixth,
and two more in the eighth. The
crowd in the grandstand and bleachers
went wild; never before in the history
of baseball had they been able to shut
the Leavenworth bunch out without
score, and for the past four years have
never had winning team.
Captain Quigley deserves much
credit for the way he is handling the
Wenatchee bunch, and it is he who is
giving them a winning team. Since
he took hold of the team all the play
ers are working together, and for the
best interests, and not simply to fatten
their own average. We won't admit
that The Red Apple town has anything
on US when it comes to baseball, and
still expect to come out with the long
end of the series when the season is
over. Nevertheless, there is some
thing radically wrong somewhere that
ought to be fixed.

by Finn Frohlich, the well known
sculptor and will be reproduced in staff.
All OF the pageants will be under the
direction OF r. H. Stoddard, an expert
in this work whose most recent triumph
was the direction of the land and water
parades OF the Hudson Tri-centenary
celebration in New York. The Carni-
val Association has signed contract
with Glenn H. Curtiss for six aeroplane
flights a day during the Potlatch as well
as exhibitions by his hydroplane. All
these fights will be over and in front
