track, and waving the flag, he came
under the wire within 81 minutes and

FORMER LEAVENWORTH MAN
STARTLES CHELAN RESIDENTS
Lake Chelan News Tells of Remarkable
feat Performed by Bert Sparrow,
Formerly of This City

Covering a distance Of two miles
and half and reaching an altitude Of
1900 feet, making the round trip in
81 minutes, was the feat accomplished
by Bert Sparrow, says the Lake Chelan
News.
Sparrow is Greek, who blew into
Chelan several weeks ago. Since COM
ing here he has made several trips to
the top Of the Butte, and on returning
would make reports Of the manner in
which he burned time. AS Sparrow
speaks with a decided French accent
acquired from several years residence
in Montreal, his tales of rapid ascent
were received with grain or two Of salt.
However, as feature Of the race
meet being held several days last week,
he was billed Friday to make the trip,
on wager, in IS minutes. Flags had
been stationed midway to the top and
on the summit and it was previously
arranged that after he reached each
flag be was to wave them as evidence
that he was proceeding according to
schedule. Leaving the wire at the

ASSOCIATION PROMISES
SOC ADVANCE ON APPLES
Eastern Agents Show Confidence by
Agreeing to This Advance Besides
Paying freight

The Association is announcing that
it is guaranteeing the growers an ad-
vance of so cents per box on all the
extra fancy and standard apples, says
the Cashmere Record This offer
takes effect as soon as apples are be
ing received for the fall pool. The
money will be paid the first of each
month for the apples during the pre-
ceding month. This will cover the
cost of production and all that is re-
ceiyed subsequent will be profit.
The Association is able to make
these advances because Of the arrange
ments which have been made with
the distributing agents in various parts
of the country. The agents have
agreed to advance so cents per box,
besides the freight, on all apples OF
the two grades named. II the market
warrants the shipping Of inferior ap-
pies, the agents will make an advance
Of 25 cents per box on these.
The distributing agents have great
confidence in the Association since
their experience in dealing with it last
year. When arrangements were made
a year ago for them to handle Associa-
ton apples, they were unwilling to
make advances, not only because Of
the condition OF the apple market, but
also because the Association and its
methods and pack were all new to
them. The reliable pack which they
found characteristic of Association ap-
pies and the honorable methods on
which the Association is conducted
have commended both the shipper and
the fruit, so that there is now no hest
fancy in any quarter among the dis
tributors as to making liberal advances
on association fruit These agents have
placed orders with the Association for
24OO cars Of apples up to date. Last
year the organization handled 100
cars and it is going to tax the resources
OF the management to line up enough
fruit this year to fill all the orders
which have thus far been placed with
the association. 1t is hoped that the
apples from the upper Columbia region
may 90 a considerable way in making
up the desired amount.

track at 400 he started on a sprint
following the alley leading from the
course to Emerson street bridge. Cros-
sing the bridge he followed the old
road that leads to the Brownfeld place
and within ten minutes from the time
he started could be seen stirring up the
dust in the plowed field about a third
OF the way up. Gradually as he be-
came shouted against the brown OF
the hillside he was lost to the sight OF
nearly all, save those with glasses.
Through the binoculars, he was soon
seen to wave the first flag and started
then on the steepest portion OF his
ascent. In less than half hour the
EXPLANATIONS OF the crowd indicated
that he was again visible, and all d.
rected their gaze to the summit to see
him waving the flag against the skyline.
Soon disappearing among the tim
bers he was noticed again on the down
ward trip-a mere speck dotting the
mountain side, the flag carried by him
alternately glistening in the sunlight as
it waved before the breeze. Even
then, from a position in the grand
stand it did not seem that he would be
able to return in due time, but it
seemed but an instant until he had
crossed the plowed field and was on
the road to town. Watches were drawn
from pockets and races were suspended
for the time being. The minutes were

LEAN YEAR AHEAD
 FOR ARCTIC TRADERS

Boring sea and Arctic ocean fur traders complain that the present will be lean year for them, according to reports from Nome. They say it is op- ening up more inauspiciously than last year did, and last year was the worst of many. The natives on the Siberian coast were so hard pressed for food, say the traders that have returned to Nome, that many of them were com pelled to eat furs that they had gather ed during the winter. The American natives had an abundance of food, chiefly hair seal, but they fared little better than their Russian relatives when it came to securing furs. Wal rus are also reported as very scarce this year, and, as a result, there will be shortage in the ivory crop.

Most of those employed are Finnisht girls, and they were brought up from the South to do the work. They are neat ard cleanly, and perform their work with dispatch.
 "Taku harbor," said a recent visi- tor to the cannery, presents an illus tration of what Alaska fishing towns will become one of these days, when the fishing industry shall have devel- oped to the stage that a permanent population of fisher folk is scattered up and down the Territory's coast.

Three Lives Lost
 in Perseverance

vich. He is an Austrian or Monte negrin and is a member of the Eagles. He is miner also, and was employed in the shaft.
 Powder Fumes Cause Death.
 The deaths resulted from powder fumes. caused by the burning of dyna- mite in the emergency magazine just beyond the crosscut tunnel near the main vertical shaft. The men who lost their lives were working about thirty feet from the floor of the Al exander tunnel putting in water pipes.
 Three men had just gone to the mag azine for powder and two of them had taken some and left, the other man mo- ticed smoke in the magazine and hur- ried out to notify the men, about sev- enty-fve in number, and they all rushed out of the main tunnel. The smoke all came out of the Alexander tunnel following the crew, none of it going in the cross tunnels. No smoke went up the shaft and the men work ing on the next level did not know that anything had happened.
 Superintendent H. J. Jackson rush ed a relief party into the mine with a motor truck as soon as possible. The bodies of the dead were recovered and the one who was still living was taken out and hurried to St Ann's hospital where the best efforts were made to restore him but death ensued at 11:45 this morning.
 The cause of the accident is still shrouded in mystery. It may have been caused from heat generated by the electric light wires becoming short circuited. General Manager B. l.. Thane said this morning that it was very fortunate that Federal Mine h. spector Sumner s. Smith is in the city. Mir Smith has gone out to the mine for the purpose of making an investigation.
 Telegrams have been sent to the widow of Baima and efforts are being made to get in communication with the relatives of SamOvich. Funeral ar engagements will be held pending such information.
