held in X. of P. hall. New officers
were elected on both sides for the

safe place attacked their victim with
club and beat him into insensibility.
The police were notified the same day
and arrested one of the men on the
street. The two others who had the
money escaped and have not as yet
been apprehended. The assailant who
gives his name as Harry Woods had
preliminary hearing today and was
bound over to the Superior court.

Fireman Injured at Round House

Martin Johnson while hosting at the
roundhouse met with a painful injury
last Friday night. He was backing an
engine down the track and had
his head out the cab window. AS
it was quite dark he failed to notice
the pipe from the sand house which
extends out over the track. The first
intimation he had Of its being there was
when he received a hard blow on the
side OF his head, which came near rem
dering him unconscious. 1t did not
prove serious, although Martin has
been carrying a badly discolored eye
the past week.

NO ONE LIKE A MOTHER.

HERE Is no one like mother
In this world of pain and woe.
There is no one like your
II mother,
It's no matter where you go.
II you're tired and discouraged
And you've drunk the bitter cup.
Just go back again to mother.
She will kiss and cheer you up.
There was no one like our mother
In our young and tender years.
None could help us in our troubles;
None could kiss away our tears.
There was no one like our mother
When our evening prayers were said
That could tuck the covers round US
When she put us of TO bed.
II amidst the northern ice fields
Or on Africa's burning sands,
Far away from home, a stranger
In some distant. faroff lands;
All alone and near forsaken.
You have lost your nerve and will,
Then go back to home and mother.
She will help and love you still.
All, there's no one like a mother
Here on earth or any landl
None can give a cup Of water
Like a mothers loving hand.
And when life is almost over.
All around is death and gloom,
None can say "Goodby!" like mother
AS you journey to the tomb

WFNATCHEE GROWERS
FORM ORGANIZATION
Fruitgrowers will not Unite with Other
Districts Unless they are Organized

OF the 1000 carloads of fruit mar
keted from the Wenatchee valley four
agencies handle four-ffths of this crop.
Nearly 1900 carloads are marketed
thru the Wenatchee Valley Fruitgrow-
ers' Association. The balance is al
most equally divided among the We
natchee Produce company, the We
natchee Columbia Fruit company and
the Valley Fruitgrowers' Union. Var
ious dealers get the remainder.
Talk Of federation with other dis
tricts has not been heard much
since the stockholders meeting of the
association last winter. By decisive
majority the 800 growers decided to
work toward more perfect local Or
ganization, meanwhile waiting for
other districts to do likewise.
Last winter the association reor-
ganized on a radically different basis
than the former loosely drawn pool
contract permitted w. T. Clark was
elected president in order to carry out
a plan originated by him. By that
plan each grower in joining the pool
signs a contract which is perpetual
unless he withdraws before the first
of March. Such withdrawal may be
for just the following fall or it may
be permanent, but in any case, if the
grower lets his contract stand after
March l the association has exclusive
control of his apples to be harvested
the following fall and is secured by
a lien on the crop.
The association members feel
that while they are being criticized by
other organizations and districts for
refusing to federate in order to an
initiate the middleman, their associa-
ton has actually been doing the thing
single-handed. They believe that if
other districts will attack the common
problem with as much initiative and
as much vim it will not be long before
a number Of powerful cooperative con-
Germs will have something worth while
to join into federation. The associa-
ton desires to unite with districts or
ganized as effectively as this one.
The Wenatchee Columbia Fruit COM
pany entered the lists this season and
has accomplished wonders. 1t also paid
cash and has already this season put
several hundred thousands of dollars
of English money into the pockets Of
Valley growers. Through its Euro
pean representative, S. Diggle, a
genius at selling apples, this company
has greatly extended the market, send
ing solid trainloads to South America,
to South Africa and to China.

Library Receives Confederate Money

Several weeks ago when the library
committee learned that the treasury
department of the government was dis
tributing an assortment OF notes OF the
confederate states OF America among
colleges and other public institutions,
they wrote the department asking if
they might have a collection. The
notes arrived this week and will be
placed on exhibit in the public library.
They are in denominations of 5, 10,
20 and so dollars and were issued in
the year OF 1861 and turned over to
the United States Government in 1867.
There is no value to them except for
historical purposes.

In ten years 50.709 such trespassers
