Good Roads Day Was Observed

In addition to the repairing OF nu-
merous stretches of bad highway the
observance Of Good Roads Day is also
credited with having awakened the
interest OF not only the farmers and
rangers but the city people as well in
the subject Of good roads, and Gov.
Hay who has been greatly interested
in the observance Of Arbor Day and
Good Roads Day on April II and II,
believes that they were the most sue
cessful ever held in Washington.
Supplemental proclamations urging all
OF the roads associations, the automo-
bile clubs and similar bodies to take
an active interest in the work were
sent out by Gov. Hay, who himself
went to Cowlitz county as the guest of
Senator F. L. Stewart and labored
with pick and shovel on the roads in
that county.

Ladies Act in a Worthy Cause

A committee of ladies representing
the Royal Neighbors of America, Mrs.
Mabel Hutchings, Mrs. Amanda Mar
tin, Mrs. Bessie Chandler and Mrs.
Mary Egan, called on Mrs. A. L.
Haines last Friday and presented her
with beautiful boquet of carnations.
They decided that the lack of neces-
sary funds to send Mrs. Haines tscE
to Rochester. MINI. to the famo-s
Mayo Bros, could be raised imme =
ately, for surgical operation, among
the generous people of Leavenworth.
With Mrs. Haines consent, they
started in to raise a collection to pay
her railroad fare. They also decided
to give benefit ball, to help defray
her hospital expenses. The hall was
donated by the Firemen, the music
was donated by Mrs. Hutchings or
chestra and the tickets and handbills
by the printers.
The following generously contrib
uted to the worthy cause:

LEAVENWORTH WINS
FROM ODESSA BUNCH
Second Game of the Season is Won by
the Locals 20 to 3

Well there was nothing to it Sunday.
Moores Colts had their batting clothes
on and it is doubtful whether Christy
Matthewson could have stopped them.
1t was the same Navarro who held the
locals last year to hits and the wise
ones said he would do it again but the
blond youth had his bad day and by
the time the 9th inning had rolled
by twenty two hits had been chalked
up against him.
Pop Lee, the old reliable was the
first to enter the box and pitched a
magnificent game up to the 4th inning,
allowing only one hit. Then some
thing went wrong and the first thing
the big fellow knew he had the sacks
full. There we're two out when the big
sage brusher came to the plate and
he didn't look as though he could con-
meet with basket ball. But the un-
expected happened and by the time
Cap. Mazurie had recovered the ball
from the right field fence he had man
aged to get around to Larkin's post.
This ended it however as the next
man up proved to be an easy victim.
AS Lees nerves seemed to be shat
tered after the terrible ordeal he had
passed thru, Collins was next sent in at
the opening of the fifth worked and for
two innings when he was replaced by
Brown. At no time after the 4th in
ming did the visitors get in sight Of
home plate. The home club began
their run getting with the first inning
when two scores were marked up. In
the second nine came in and after
that it was easy. The final score was
90 to 8.

THE WENATCHEE PARK
LAND & IRRIGATION co.
Have Established Camp and Will Begin
Operations at Once

Meeting with representative OF this
paper in Wenatchee the past week G.
S. Merriam, one of the officers OF the
Wenatchee Park Land & Irrigation Co.,
said: I'VE will establish camp in
Chewawa river valley next week. Mr..
Lewis, a competent engineer, will have
charge of the work and has instructions
to rush work as fast as conditions will
permit. We expect to have water
running through our canal before the
summer is over. Rev. Mr.. Peters, Of
the Friends church, will endeavor to
locate a colony of people of his faith
on this land. Their we'll known repu-
tation for excellent character and being
hard workers, promises to add very
desirable class OF citizens to this por-
ton of the county. They will come
here to build homes and improve their
lands, not to speculate.
Some years ago Mr.. Arthur Gum
induced a large colony of Friends to
locate near Wenatchee, where they
have made good. The Icicle ditch
company will also begin operations on
their Chumstick line at an early date.
The outlook for more development Of
unoccupied land this year than in any
past year is very encouraging.

venton were elected: M. E. Field, ].

were instructed to work and vote for
the denomination of president Taft.
Resolutions were also adopted ex-
pressing confidence in the courage,
craftsmanship and patriotism, Of the
president, A motion that it was the
sense OF the convention that the legis-
lature should adopt a primary law to
take the place of all conventions was
unanimously adopted, and at 1910,
having transacted all the business that
seemed necessary, the convention ad-
journed.
Regular Convention Meets at O'Clock
Promptly at the hour to which the
regulars adjourned the meeting was
called to order by Chairman Olds and
the report Of the committee on Gre
dentials was called for. Having
reached the conclusion that the con-
testing delegations were not entitled
to recognition the committee reported
in favor of seating all the regular dele
cations. The report was adopted
without discussion and the convention
proceeded to the selection of dele
gates to the state convention. A COM
mittee was appointed to present the
names Of ten delegates and the follow
ing were submitted: D. D. Olds, D.
w. King, Deed H. Magyar, P. P. Hol-
comb, F. C. Lemon, F. T. Spiller,
Fred Stein, 2. A. Lanham, A. Babtie,
E. M. Gillette, S. P. Beecher and w.
M. Emerson. By personal preference
the delegation is equally divided be-
tween Roosevelt and LaFollette. Deed
H. Magyar moved that the delegation
be instructed for President Taft, sta
ting that while he was not a supporter
Of the president but believed in the
progressive policies advocated by
Theodore Roosevelt and Senator La
Toilette, he was under instructions
from a majority Of the voters who
elected him as a delegate and he be-
lieved it to be his duty to carry out
instructions. The motion was lost and
the motion prevailed that the dele
gates go to the convention uuin-
structed.
There being no further business to
transact the convention adjourned.

That the Republican county con-
vention which met in Wenatchee April
IS split and nominated two delegations
is too we'll known to require reitera-
ton here, and that it came near end
ing in a free for all fight is also quite
we'll known.
The trouble began over the election
OF temporary chairman. F. c. Lemon,
chairman of the republican county
central committee, called the conven-
ton to order and after announcing that
an error had been made in the dele
gates apportioned to Chelan and Pc
shas,in, according to the official record,
the former being entitled to seven in
stead Of four delegates, and the latter
to four instead of three, stated that the
precinct chairmen present at the conven-
ton met just before that body was called
to order, and following precedent
adhered to in past county conyen-
tions, upheld by that old principle OF
common law that a man shall not sit in
Judgment on his own rights, decided
that those precincts where a contest
was filed could not participate in the
temporary organization Of the conven-
ton, the election Of the temporary
chairman and secretary and the ap-
pointment OF a committee on creden-
tials and representation, which COM
mittee, after hearing the evidence,
usually passes on the merits OF the re-
spective contestants and reports its
findings to the convention for adop-
ton or rejection.
D. D. Olds, of Wenatchee, was
nominated for temporary chairman by
the progressive element and H. {.
Keeler by the Taft supporters. The
temporary secretary Of the county CEN
trail committee called the names of
those precincts only which had no
contest. The vote resulted in 81 for
Mr.. Olds and % for H. c. Keeler.
When the result was announced and
Mr.. Olds took the platform the trouble
began; the Taft supporters brought
Mr.. Keeler to the chairman's stand
and pandemonium reigned. Progress
sives and Taft supporters surrounded
the speakers stand, shouting, gesticu-
lating, threatening and bowling like
wild animals. For a moment 1t looked
as if the convention would end in a
knock-down and drag-out. Men were
shaking their fists in each other S
faces and calling each other names.
Postmaster Davis, member OF the
Leavenworth delegation, jerked his
coat of and got into the struggling
mass of humanity around the speaker S
stand. While the cooler heads were
busy trying to calm the more bellig-
erent Chairman Olds, whose voice
could scarcely be heard above the up
roar, announced that the election OF a
temporary secretary was in order. S.
P. Beecher, of Peshastin, was nomi-
mated and promptly declared elected.
This was followed by motion to ap-
point committee Of three on creden-
tials and representation, and having
carried, Chairman Olds appointed J. M.
Johnson, Of Malaga, W. M. Emmer-
son, of Chelan, and DR.. J. D. Lang
don, Of Lake Wenatchee, on such
committee. After the appointment OF
this committee the convention ad-
iourned until one o'clock to allow the
committee time to make up its re-
port. AS the progressive wing of the
republican party, which was in control
of the regular organization left the hall

RESULT IN KANSAS IS
 VICTORY FOR WILSON
Governors Friends Pleased at
 Instructions to Delegates.

Washington. March lS.--The result in Kansas is very gratifying indeel to Governor Woodrow Wilson's friends The delegates were instructed for him as second choice and authorized to cast the vote of the entire delegation for Governor Wilson when two-thirds Of the delegation so desired. This is all that could have been expected when 1t is remembered Kansas is real ly Speaker Clark's front yard. Not. withStanding the fact the Missouri papers supporting Mir. Clark went to every precinct throughout Kansas and the speaker himself wrote innumera overwhelming sentiment of the masses was for Governor Wilson.
 Had there been a presidential pri mary instead of a convention the friends of Governor Wilson in Kansas insist he would have swept the state A few trained professional politicians in state convention frequently thwart the will of the majority of the people The result ill kansas demon strates the great need of presidentia primaries if the people are to rule.
 Kansas was flooded with literature calculated to promote MT Clark's in teresIS Many false and scurrlous ar ticIes, in the main anonymous, against Governor Wilson were circulated in al most every precinct throughout that state, but seemingly without effect
 The significant evidences of Cover nor Wilson's strength in Oklahoma and Kansas, the united support which the south will give him, his great populari iy In the New England states and the nation wide growth of his strength significantly stamp him as the candi date who can win for the Democratic party

TO GAN OR NOT TO CAN

Before I was marriedlI had wis ions of ..opening cans from the store, and then opening more cans. and having an easy time.
 After eight years of married life and housekeeping from the first day, I want to say l never buy canned fruit or vegetables, if I can help it.
 I never had put up a single can until after I was married, but 1 soon learned and can do it sue cessfully.
 My husband tries to raise all the fruits and vegetables we can eat fresh and then have enough for canning for the winter sea son. We have found pleasure in storing, and storing as the ssquir- rels do. writes Cora s. Lupton in Farm and Home.
 There are three in the family, and I can 100 cans of tomatoes, 25O quart2cans full of various kinds of fruit. and some other vegetables and jelly.
 like to know things are pick ed from our own land, l Ike to cook the fruit and sterlize the cans with my own hands. l did not have a single can spoil last year, and they have all been us- sed but three cans of peaches.
 commence the canning sea- son with strawberries. The first day l did a dozen cans. 1 do not object to several cans of the strawberry juice, for it is fine to pour over unfavored ice cream, as we often make it in winter as we'll as summer. l do not intend to spend all my days in the kitchen, but 1 do sintend to see that the surplus which is plucked does not spoil.
 believe home-canned stuff is by far the best, and have learn ed to like to do the work. and now there is nothing pleasant in the thought of opening the tin can stuff from the stores.
