WHAT PROGRESSIVES
STAND FOR ANSWERED
By Theodore Roosevelt in one of His
Recent Speeches

What the progressives stand for is
conclusively answered by Mr.. Roose-
velt in one of his recent speeches.
I'VE fight to make this a better
place to live in for those who have
been harshly treated by fate, and have
little Of Of this worlds goods; and if
we succeed, it will also be better
place to live in for those who have
much. None of US can really prosper
permanently if masses of our fellows
are debased and degraded, if masses
of men and women are ground down
and forced to lead starved and sordid
lives, so that their souls are crippled
like their bodies and the fine edge of
their every feeling blunted.
When l plead the cause OF the
crippled brakeman on a railroad, of the
overworked girl in factory, of the
stunted child toiling at inhuman labor,
OF all who work excessively or in un-
healthy surroundings, Of the family
dwelling in the squalor Of noisome
tenement, OF the wornout farmer id re-
gions where the farms are worn out
also; when protest against the unfair
profits of unscrupulous and conscience
less men or against the greedy exploi-
tation Of the helpless by the beneficial
ries of privilege, am not only fighting
for the weak, I am fighting also for the
strong.
The sons OF all of US will pay in the
future if we Of the present do not do
justice to the present. If the fathers
cause others to eat bitter bread, the
teeth of their own sons shall be set
on edge. Our cause Of justice for all
is in the interest of all. Surely there
never was a more noble cause; surely
there never was cause in which it
was better worth while to spend and be

THE PFSHASTIN FRUIT
GROWERS ASSOCIATION
Incorporates and Fleets Officers Move
in the Interest of the Upper
Wenatchee Valley

A meeting of the fruit growers OF the
vicinity of Peshastin, was held last
week for the purpose Of taking the pre-
liminary steps necessary to organization
and the result was the organization OF
the Peshastin Fruit Growers Association
with the following officers: M. w.
Stark, president; F. A. Wingate, Sec
retary; Board of Directors; M. w.
Stark, Guy Stage, H. w. Otis, F. A.
Wingate, and G. P. Fryberger. The
company will be incorporated with a
capital stock OF $4,000.
All the principle fruit growers OF Pc
shastin and the vicinity Of Leavenworth
have already, or will soon, join the
association. This movement was made
necessary by the organization OF similar
associations in this and other fruit grow
ing sections OF the state. The apples
of the association will likely be sold
through the Northwestern Fruit Ex-
change, though this has not been pos
itively agreed on.

LEAvENWORTH MAY
CELEBRATE THE 4TH
An Effort Will be Made to Have Three
Days Celebration, COmmenC-
ing July 1st

If the necessary amount Of money
can be raised. and it is the belief of
the promoters that it can, Leavenworth
will have a grand, rip roaring Fourth
Of July celebration, lasting for three
days. 1t is the intention to have
speech making, horse races, foot races,
ball games, bucking contests and other
athletic games, with a bowery ball
every evening. AS no definite ar
rangements have been made to cele-
brate in Wenatchee this year it is be-
lieved that if a good purse is put up
the Wenatchee ball team will come
here for three game series. Most of
the business people seem to be in
favor of the celebration and the pro-
motors are Of the opinion that they will
have little trouble in raising the re-
quired amount of money.

STREET GRADES AND
SIDEWALK LEVELS
An Engineering Crew at Work Fixing
Sidewalk Grades and Street Levels

Engineer R. E. Brown, who has
been employed by the city to establish
street grades and sidewalk levels began
work with a crew of men the past
week and has already made consider
able progress. The absence OF an es-
tablished grade to govern builders has
in the past led to confusion and error
and as a consequence some OF our
buildings are above and others below
grade. In the future, however, build
ers will have an established grade by
which to be governed and more un-
iformity may be looked for. The fix
ing of street levels becomes necessary
in view of the fact that street paving is
under consideration and should this
fall thru at this time, as result of op-
position Of property holders, it will
come up again at some future time and
meanwhile it will serve as a guide in
any street work that will be under
taken.
Engineer Brown will also make blue
print maps, very likely establish sewer
grades, and such other work and data
as will prove invaluable in the future.

3,655 Women of Voting Age

The campaign committee OF Gov
ernor M. E. Hay has compiled figures
based on the statistics Of the census
bureau which show that in 1910 there
was a total OF 3,655 women of twenty
one years of age or more, in Chelan
county. All of these were whites with
the exception of thirty Indians and
seven Japanese. Of the whites, 2,474
were native born OF native parents, and
695 were native born of foreign par
ents and 44o were foreign born.
Throughout the state was an aggre-
gate of 277,727 women Of legal voting
age of whom all were white except l.
6o7 negroes, 1904 Indians, 119
Chinese, 1,178 Japanese and one

G. M. & N. Co. viii Install Machinery
This Summer

That the Globe Mining & Milling
Company will have their mine in op-
Grafton before the snow flies again is
the prediction OF the owners. Mr..
Crum who recently became president
of the company succeeding Dee Fish
er says that it is their intention to in
stall the machinery just as soon as the
roads get into condition for hauling.
1t is estimated that the plant will cost
$50, 900, and that amount OF money
having been raised, we are told that
no more stock will be for sale. All of
the experts who have made an exami-
nation of the quicksilver ore state that it
is OF very fine quality and as there is
large body Of the ore, the mine is al
most sure to become paying propo-
sition in few years.

Seattle hoeIsiOrs Take 1st Game 3 to
2-Nerett Bunch Loses IS to a

In hard fought battle the Seattle
Excelsiors defeated the locals last Sat-
urday 3 to 2. The first run came in
the ninth inning when Kelchner first
up got his base on balls, was sacrificed
to 2nd by Macintosh and came home
on hit by Manure. The visitors got
their first run in the 4th inning and up
to the 7th inning the score stood / to
to /. Then the balloon went up.
Brown giving two passes to first. Gra-
ham came up next and hit to center
field for one base, but by the time
the boys got thru heaving the ball
around the two runners had crossed
the pan. A strong effort was made to
tie the score in the ninth when one
more run was added, but when Um-
pire Lee called the fly ball hit by
Larkin to 1st baseman Pierce a foul it
was all over. To those in the grand
stand the ball appeared to have
struck in fair territory but his jumps
couldn't see it that way and Larkin
was forced to return to the plate, and
Simpson who had scored on the hit
was returned to second. Larkin hit
the ball a moment later but it was
swallowed up by the center fielder.
McIvor a Seattle pitcher who has
quite reputation on the coast did the
twirling for the Everett crowd on Sun
and held the home team to seven hits
but had no support. Miller pitched
for the locals and up to the ninth in
ming the visitors had failed to score.
Then something went wrong and be-
fore the final put out was made four
scores had rolled in.

CHIWAUKUM COUPLE
ELOPED LAST FRIDAY
Doris Wicker and Walter Dillon Leave
Home and Have Not Been
Seen Since

Mr.. and Mrs. Wicker who are the
night and day telegraph operators at
Chiwaukum, were in Wenatchee last
Friday looking for their daughter, Miss
Doris, who is believed to have eloped
with Walter Dillon, a young man Of
that place.
According to the belief Of the par
ents, young Dillon, who is the son Of
Road Supervisor Thomas Dillon, a
prosperous pioneer farmer Of the Chi
waukum country, induced Miss Wicker
to run away with him some time after
midnight, Thursday of last week,
whether the couple travelled east or
west has not yet been ascertained by
Mr.. and Mrs. Wicker, but they are
convinced that they are travelling.
Walter Dillon was a pupil at the
Wenatchee high school last year, and
for the past few montha has been rail-
road telegraph operator at Drury, the
next station west OF Chiwaukum. He
is only seventeen years old, just year
older than the girl whom he has courted
for the last year or more. That he
has been most persistent and spirited
wooer, is alleged by the parents OF
Miss Wicker. Once, according to the
story told, he was driven from the
premises by the irate father, who was
armed with shotgun. Young Dillon
returned in few days, armed himself
with a shotgun. He was allowed to
stay.
The parents, nevertheless, have
been watching Miss Doris, who is
charming and pretty girl, with uncea-
sing vigilance since the shotgun epi-
sode. The girl retired to her bed
room Thursday night at the usual hour,
and was in her room until one O'Clock
yesterday morning. At some hour al
ter that and before dawn, she left the
house.
Chiwaukum is eleven miles from
Leavenworth, the nearest point at
which trains, bound east or west, make
stops in the night. The parents be-
lieve that Dillon and Miss Wicker went
to Leavenworth, the nearest point at
which trains bound east or west, make
stops in the night. The parents be-
lieve that Dillon and Miss Wicker went
to Leavenworth, either afoot or in a
vehicle providnd by the young man.
After that it is all surmise. No mar
rage license was issued yesterday or
to-day to the couple by Chelan County
Auditor D. N. Gellatly or any of his
deputies. The supposition now is that
they have gone either to Spokane or
Seattle

Death of Rudolph HeinnchS

Mr.. Heinrichs died at San Diego,
California, May 8. He lived here up
to year ago last fall with his children,
E. j., R. A. and P. Heinrichs, resi-
dents Of the Chumstick valley, and
went to the south, where his daughter
resided, to spend the winter. The
body was taken to his old home, Eu-
dora, Kansas, for burial. Previous to
his removal to California he had lived
here for FIVE years and will be remem-
bered by many people as kindly old
gentleman.

.BLEWFTT MINING CO
HAS MORE TROUBLE
Two Companies are fighting Over the
Washington MeteOr-COurts
viii Decide

The courts of the state of Washing
ton will be asked to decide once more
who is entitled to possession Of the
mining property owned by the Wash
ington Meteor Mining Co., at Blewett,
says the Wenatchee World. This
was leased to the Blewett
Mine Leasing Co., and afterwards
leased to the Consolidated Gold Min
ing & Milling Co.
Efforts to oust the Blewett Company,
also to have a receiver appointed for it,
have failed in the lower court, but will
be appealed to the supreme court.
The personal property was recently
sold at sheriff's sale for taxes, being
bought by interests friendly to the
Washington Meteor Company. The
agents OF both this company and the
sub lessees both claim to be in pos
session and recently an attempt was
made by F. w. Earnest, who acts as
agent for the Consolidated company,
to start the hydraulic electric plant.
However the agents for the Meteor
interests broke the fume in several
places so that il cannot be repaired
and reports from Blewett state that
both parties are armed and each threat
ems serious damage if the other at
tempts to interfere with the plant. The
courts will be asked to determine who
is entitled to possession of the plant.

TELEPHONE LINE TO
LAKE WENATCHFf
To Be Built by Forestry Department
Work to Commence About the 1st
of July

Work on telephone line to connect
with the Tumwater Light & Water
Cos. line from the summit of Beaver
Creek to the head of Lake Wenatchee
will begin in few weeks. II is to be
constructed by the Forestry Depart
ment and the work will be in charge
OF Forest Supervisor Sylvester. 1t is
the intention later on to extend the
line further up the White river valley
but at present it will end at what is
known as the Dirty Face Mountain
Ranger Station, which is in charge OF
D. S. Rice. The line will be for the
use OF the forest rangers only and it is
believed they will be better able to
handle the forest fire situation. Mr.
Sylvester accompanied by Mr.. Blank
enship and Mr.. Rice left here Tuesday
to go over the route and make the
final arrangements.
A line over the Cascade mountains
by way of the Icicle valley to Gle Ellum
and Easton is under consideration by
the department but it has not been de-
cided on definitely as yet. The Office
in this city will receive an appropria-
tion some time next month to carry on
this class OF work.

LETTER FROM GOOD
ROADS ENTHUSIAST
Advocates Trunk Road Across the Cas-
CadeS from Everett to WenatChee

The following letter from a good
roads enthusiast who resides in Berlin,
Wash, was received this week:
Deed H. Magyar,
Leavenworth, Wash,
Dear Sir:
1t has been suggested that you
are the proper one in Leavenworth to
take up any project relating to good
roads, so, taking that for granted, I
write you.
The people of the Skykomish val
ley. in King county, between the Sno-
homish county line and Scenic, follow
ing the G. N. R. R. and including the
town Of Scenic, Skykomish, Berlin and
Barring. have organized Good Roads
Club" for the promotion of trunk
road across the Cascades.
1t is to consider the best way to
promote that, am writing you.
Our special committee has thought
it might be advisable to ask the towns
between Wenatchee and Everett to
call meeting at Wenatchee or Ever
EFT, for the purpose of formulating
workable plan. One or more dele
gates could go from each town.
am of the opinion if the matter is
taken up in time we will be able to
get some of the SIS, 100000 the state
is to be asked to bond istelf for.
Already we have secured an appro-
priation from King county which will
practically open up the road to Sky
komish and we hope to get as far as
Scenic this season. Hoping if you are
interested to hear from you soon l am
Respectfully yours,
M. F. Smith
An unusual amount Of interest is
being taken in the proposed road
across the Cascade mountains which
was first advocated by L. H. Titchenal
of Cashmere.
The King county automobile asso-
citation is very eager to see the road
built and will endeavor to get an ap-
preparation from the state toward bond
ing the same.
The proposed route would go north
from Leavenworth to Lake Wenatchee
by way of the Chumstick valley then
back to Wood Spur north Of Chiwau-
KUN following the track to Mer-
ritt and from there on utilizing the
abandoned switch back grades of the
Great Northern Railway on both sides
of the summit. A good many bridges
and culverts will be necessary as this
grade is crossed by many brooks and
creeks. The greatest expense would
be on the amount of road work to be
done in Chelan county.
1t is believed that with concentra-
ton of forces between this county and
Puget Sound the road can be built.
