Representative LaFOIIette Sticks to Taft

Representative w. L. LaFollette, OF
Washington, has declared his purpose
not to support the Roosevelt move
ment. 1t is his intention to file under
the Taft ticket for the primaries in
September. Mr.. LaFollette makes no
secret Of his antipathy to Roosevelt and
blames him for entering the presiden-
tial contest against him. He believes
that he can be renominated by staying
with the Taft forces, an expectation
which he bases largely on the activity
Of his secretary in mailing out govern
ment seeds, letters and documents to
nearly all OF the voters in his district.
1t is argued that his franking privilege,
which enables him to conduct wide
spread correspondence at no expense
to himself, gives him a distinct advant-
age over his rivals.

MINING DISPLAY AT
THE SPOKANE FAIR
Special Effort to Exhibit MinerdlS-Che-
Ian Should Have Large Exhibit.

For the purpose of calling the at
tention of our mining men to the op-
portunity for getting some publicity
for our minerals we are printing here
with statement from Mining Superin-
tendent Armstrong, who has charge oi
this department. Chelan county has
valuable mineral deposits and needs
only men with knowledge of mining
and capital to develop them. This is
splendid opportunity. We have
gold, silver, copper, asbestos and a
splendid quality of marble. If you
will take the trouble to get up an ex-
hibit the fair association will pay the
freight and put it on exhibition. Spo-
kane is the headquarters for mining
men in the northwest and hundreds OF
them will be at the fair. Read what
Mr.. Armstrong has to say on this i'm
portant subject:
For the first time the fair manage
ment will have displays under glass.
There will be space provided for a
complete exhibition of every mineral
found in the Northwest, to be properly
labeled and classified.
For this purpose cases Of uniform
size and shape are to be arranged in
such manner as to attract most atten-
ton and will prove of great value in
the determination Of minerals. This
display is to become permanent fea-
ture OF the fair.
District displays will be better ar
ranged and attendants will give all re-
quired assistance to exhibitors. Space
should be reserved early.
A meeting Of the local section of the
American Institute of Mining Engi-
neers will be held, bringing into the
city and to the fair several hundred
mining men.
A smoker will be given by the Spo-
kane Mining Mems Club one evening
during the fair. The manufacturers
and dealers in mining machinery and
supplies are arranging for reception
at their several places of business &c
the visiting mining men.
A rock drilling contest will be one oI
the features Of the mineral department.
One day will be Miners Day at the
fair. An estimated minimum of l5o,-
900 people will see the exhibits.
Freight charges on exhibits will be
paid by the fair management if the ex-
hibits are left on display. No express
charges will be paid.

NATIONS BIRTHDAY
IN LEAVfNWORTH
General Cessation From LabOr-0b-
served in a Safe and Sensible Way

The first Fourth of July that we re-
member celebrating without fireworks
and ear-splitting noises, with an ac-
compartment of bruised and manned
men and boys, was that Of yesterday.
Leavenworth had no celebration.
Those who were full to overhowing
with noise and demonstration went to
Wenatchee where they were pro-
missed all that the most noise-loving
could desire.
Early in the morning little groups OF
four, six and eight were seen with well
filed baskets, sometimes fishing rods
and sometimes guns by way of gar
nishment, vending their way to the
hills and streams where the day was
spent in rational enjoyment and rest
from labor. A much more sane and
none the less reverent way of devoting
a day to celebrating the birth day Of
free people.
To-day, refreshed by day Of rest,
sound in mind and body, they can
take up their respective threads Of life
at least without regrets.
The families of Oscar S. and G. W.
Sampson, Harry E. Car, Mr.. and
Mrs. Turner Welch, and Mr.. and
Mrs. Deed H. Mayar spent some
hours under the trees, on the beautiful
grassy lawn of o. S. Sampson, where
was spread a bountiful supply Of every
thing that could tempt the appetite Of
a civilized man, prepared and served
under the directiou Of the female mem
bers of the party, During the three
hours spent over the viands the discus
sion touched almost every subject from
the SchlesswigHolstein question to the
nomination of Theodore Roosevelt on
a progressive republican ticket.

THIRTY-ONE CARLOADS
OF CHERRIES SHIPPED
Estimated that Over 1000 Carloads of
Fruit Will be Shipped From the
Valley this Year

"Thirty-one full carload shipments
of cherries from the Wenatchee valley
this season has almost shaken my faith
in the accuracy of my forecast of apple
shipments for the season." said A. A.
Piper, resident agent OF the Great
Northern Railway Company, this morn
ing, says the Republic of Wenatchee.
I'VE shipped eight carloads Of cher
ries last year, and with the year OF
growth added to the trees it seemed
that doubling that shipment this year
was a fair estimate. AS a matter of
fact we have quadrupled it. There
were 1905 cars of all kinds of fruit
shipped last year from Wenatchee,
Monitor and Malaga stations. l have
estimated $500 cars from the same
territory this year, and l shall not
change my estimate, but it looks now
as if actual shipments may overshoot
my mark considerably"
Through the cherry season, so far,
800 to 400 boxes have been leaving
Wenatchee daily, in small express
shipments, and it is estimated by Mr..
Piper that between four and five car
loads from that source must be added
to the 81 full carloads.
The increase in shipments Of all
kinds of fruit, this season over last,
will be confined almost entirely to ap-
pies, according TO Mr.. Piper's opinion.
The increase in crops from peach trees,
from the growth of the past year, will
be Offset by the great number Of peach
trees that have been taken out OF or
chards, fact patent to any observer
from the vast amount Of peach tree
wood that may be seen piled up in the
back yards of growers all through the
valley. With $500 cars from Wenat-
chez and an estimated 700 from this
section the Wenatchee valleys. crop
will total 1000 cars at least; and, a:
Mr.. Piper says, this estimate may be
found to be away beneath the actual
total for the season.

ployment and is going back to manual
labor, which will be gain to the south.
The republican party in the south will
have more callouses on its hands next
year than it has been honored with for
many years. Let this be its reward
the reward of its responsiveness to the
will of the real republican party.
Let this be its reward. It surely
will find it.
The victory is a famous one. Why
do the republicans OF Illinois and Penn
sylvania, OF Kansas and California, OF
Wisconsin and Maine, of the north
west, of the west, OF the Mississippi
valley and the east, Of every state whose
electoral votes elect republican presi-
dents, sit so silently, with clenched
fists and dry, tight lips? Why don't
they cheer? Surely it is famous VIC
tory. Examine it. Observe it-a
famous victory, surely.-Chicago Trib-

JOHN {. LAWRENCE
REAL PROGRESSIVE
VIII be a Candidate Of New Party If it
is Formed and if Not Will Remain
a Progressive Republican

John c. Lawrence, candidate for
governor, will follow the Roosevelt
banner if the new party is formed and
ticket placed in the field in Wash
ington. Mr.. Lawrence was among the
first in this state to wire the former
president Of his support.
Mr.. Lawrence has issued the follow
ing statement from Spokane:
IF a new party is formed l will GER
tainly be a member Of it, for I believe
that it is the only means now left for
securing a government by the people.
This is the issue to-day. Party lines
cannot be maintained on the issues oi
generation ago. We are coming into
full maturity of government by, for
and of the people, and the events OF
the last few years eliminating with the
travesty on popular government, known
as the Chicago convention, has forced
the issue home.
while my campaign for the guber-
material nomination has been and will
be based on state issues, there should
be no doubt as to my attitude on ma
tional issues. If Progressive party is
formed, will be candidate on that
ticket, and if it is not formed will re-
main a Progressive Republican.

LOCALS WIN SERIES
FROM WENATCHEE
Take Two Games Out of Three and Win
the $50 Purse

The heavy downpour Of rain which
began Saturday and continued all day
Sunday with few intermissions was very
threatening for awhile and it looked as
though the long looked for series
would have to be called off. But by
Monday noon all the water seemed to
have leaked out of the heavens, and
in spite of the heavy clouds, apparent
ly loaded with plenty of the aqua pura
which hovered near, Manager Moore
phoned the Wenatchee management
to bring their team on the 1:30 train
and if necessary they would play in
the rain. This was good news for the
fans and by the time the game was
called at 3 O'Clock, good sized and
enthusiastic crowd had gathered in the
grandstand.
The game furnished plenty of ex-
citement and for time, it looked as
though the visitors were going to add
another victory to their list.
Up to the 7th the Red apple bunch
led Q to 1 but this proved to be the
lucky inning, and by the time the
final put out had been made three
more runs had been annexed, thank S
to Kile's generosity. The remaining
innings were blanks for both teams
and the game ended. Final score,
Leavenworth 4, Wenatchee Q.
The winning of Mondays game
put the locals on an equal footing with
their rivals, each having won 5 games
apiece and they were very confident
that Tuesdays game would put them
in the lead. But not so. Stolting
had his off day and was pounded for
10 hits, during which time seven runs
were gathered in by the visitors, Bar
mes proved to be a puzzle for the To-
Gals allowing only three hits, contrib
uted by Mazurie, Miller and Stolting,
and one run.
Wednesdays game was one-sided
affair, the locals winning to 4, Foster
twirling for the visitors, was hit pretty
freely, but would have made better
showing had he received proper sup
port. Stevens, on the mound for the
locals, pitched his usual game and at
no time was he in danger.
Today's game marked the close Of
the series here. The teame will play
in Wenatchee the remainder of the
week, after which the baseball season
will likely come to an end.

President Taffs Famous Victory

The committee of notification has
been appointed. Let it inform Will
liam Howard Taft that states which
will not give him a single electoral
vote and colonial possessions OF the
United States which have no vote have
put him over" States that have
given nothing to the republican party
have given its name to him.
William Howard Taft-the choice oi
Alabama and Georgia, of South Caro-
lima and Florida, and of Tennessee, oi
Louisiana and Mississippi, of Virginia
and Arkansas, of Porto Rico and the
Philippines, Of Hawaii and Alaska-the
choice of states which never cast an
electoral vote for a republican presi-
dent, the choice Of territories and col
onies which are not allowed to vote.
Let the southern states, which have
delivered the republican party to 1t:
enemies, lift up their gates and re-
joice.
The republican party in the south
will be picking cotton next year. The
republican party in the south is leav-
ing the pleasant fields OF federal EN-.

Rained Two Days and Two Nights

Last Sunday and Monday it rained
day and night. So far as we can hear
il extended all over the state, making
certain the most bountiful crop ever
harvested. We do not depend on
rains to make crops, but yet rain does
an immense amount Of good. It
makes irrigation unnecessary and thus
saves work and most of all it helps the
stock range and the wheat farmer OF
the unirrigated sections. Some people
say if this thing keeps up to the end
of the season we can claim to be in
the rain belt.

CUPID VERY BUSY
DURING PAST YEAR
Over 10000 Marriage Licenses Issued
in State in Past Year

In the State of Washington IN the
year 1912 there were issued II, 135
marriage licenses, according to figures
compiled from the reports Of the var
ious counties, filed in the Office of the
state bureau of inspection, which is at
the rate of $50 couples every week or
500 indiyiduals. as an average OF more
than 1000 licenses were issued every
month. Taking the population Of the
state as basis, it has been estimated
that about one person in every fifty was
married. The figures give the number
of licenses issued in each county Of the
state, but as this number was esti-
mated from the fees collected it is not
regarded as absolutely correct, although
practically it is so. In King county,
in the matter of the number Of licenses
issued during 1912, the best record
was made, as 1882 licenses were is
sued, while Spokane county issued
1928 and Pierce county 655; while
Snohomish county comes next in the
number of licenses issued, the number
being 615. In Clarke county, which
is Just across the river from Portland,
SOS licenses were issued. The num-
Der of marriage licenses issued in Che
Ian county, as estimated from the fees
collected, was 267.

F. |. HEIDRICH
BUYS MORE LAND
Forty Additional Acres of Cascade Or
Chard Land to be Set in Apple
Trees This fall

Mr.. Heidrich, who spent several
days here this week with his family,
who are spending the summer months
on his ranch in the Cascade orchards,
has bought more land. Encouraged
by the showing made this year by the
apple trees, he has purchased another
forty acre tract of land which he will
haye cleared and set to trees just as
soon as the land can be gotten ready.
Mr.. Heidrich is the moving spirit in
one of the large mercantile firms in
South Seattle and the orchard property
will be held by the company.
Something approximating one thou
sand boxes Of apples, the first, or sam
pie crop, were gathered in the Cascade
Orchards, a tract of land some six ol
eight hundred acres in extent which is
usually referred to by this name, last
year, and proved so satisfactory and
encouraging as to quality, color and size
that interest in this land has increased.
The outlook for large crop this fall,
considering the age Of the trees, from
six to ten cars, will heighten the in
terest above referred to. Every one
who has visited the orchards this sum-
mer has expressed surprise at the
growth and thrifty appearance OF the
apple trees.

SHORT SESSION OF
THE CITY COUNCIL
Allowing a Large Number of Bills and
Depicting the Treasury the
Principal Business

Beyond large number of bills to
pay there was nothing much Of impor-
tance to come before the council when
it met last Tuesday evening.
The contract covering the installa-
ton Of additional lights by the Tum-
water Light & Water Co., was read
and approved and the clerk and mayor
instructed to have the same signed up
BY the officers of the company as
agreed on.
The treasurer's report showed that
there was balance of $2,724.99 on
hand the first of July.
The clerk was instructed to adver-
tise the fact that hereafter no bills
would be paid unless the same were
accompanied by an order signed by
the city marshal or some member OF
the council. The requisition or order
to accompany the claim against the
city, which must in each case be item
lied and attached to the original or
der. The clerk was also instructed
to have acquisitions printed for the use
of the council and marshal.
The clerk was also instructed to no
tify the Tumwater Light & Water Co.
to make new bond indemnifying the
city against damage claims growing out
of the digging of bitches and such
other work as the company may do In
maintaining its water, telephone and
electric light system.
Several bills presented for payment
were laid over for investigation. Coun-
Gilman Campbell made the remark
that the council had in the past been
too lenient in allowing bills and should
scrutinize them more closely in the
future. This remark lead to the notice
which is printed elsewhere.
The following bills were allowed and
ordered paid:
