ANOTHER BRICK BLK
FOR FRONT STREET
John BiOrk Has Commenced on an Ad-
ditiOn to the Overland 32xS0,
Two Story

The excavation on an addition to
the Overland Hotel has already been
completed. 1t will be two story and
the front uniform with the Overland
Hotel front.
Mr.. Bjork is the pioneer hotel man
Of the town, having built the first hotel
on the site Of the present brick hotel
building twenty years ago. The bull
ding was frame and burned down in
1896. He Immediately erected a
larger and better building on the same
site which again burned in 1904. In
both instances there was total loss as
not dollar OF insurance was carried on
either of the buildings. In the last
burn the loss was over $4,000. In
1904 Mr.. Biork built the present Ov-
erland brick block, 90 foot front, two
stories in height,and 80 feet deep.
Mr.. Bjork's faith in the future Of
Leavenworth has never wavered, and
his present determination on an addi-
ton to the oldest hostelry in town is
further proof of his mistaken conf
dence in the present and future pros
perity Of Leavenworth. The building
is not yet rented but will have a ten
ant by the time it is ready for occu-
pancy. The building will be erected
by Contractor Lind, the construction be-
ing superintended by Mr.. Bjork him

WENATCHEE GETTING
READY FOR HER SHOW
Fair HeSperideS October II to 25-An
Interesting Event-WiII Be Lib
orally PatrOnized

The efforts Of the average man on
the street to pronounce the name Fair
Hesperides, which is to be held in
Wenatchee Oct. 21-25, are very anus
ing. Some call it "Herpicides;" 9TH
ers say Hebrides," while many put
the accent on the last syllable and
make the word only three syllables in
stead Of dividing it into four syllables
and accenting the second one. 1t has
been suggested that among the many
contests being arranged for the fair, it
might be we'll to have a name pro-
nouncing contest and find out what
percentage Of the population can even
say the word. In this connection it
might also prove interesting to exam
inc the contestants upon the meaning
of the word Fair Hesperides. Although
the mythical tale has often been re-
peated, it is doubtful if one person in
fifty in Wenatchee is yet prepared
to explain thai Hesperides in Greek
mythology was the name of garden
in the far west where golden apples
grew and that a big dragon guarded
these apples. This is why the dragon
has been selected as the emblem Of
the fair.
The prime object of the show is to
offer an educational exhibition showing
the resources of North Central Wash
ington. Everything produced from
the soil is eligible for entry. 1t will
be a $4,000 show and very liberal
premiums are offered. The premium
list will be issued shortly. Exhibits
will be entered both by individuals and
by districts.

WORLDS APPLE CROP
LESS THAN LAST YEAR
Over Half of the Fruit of Northwest
viii be Marketed Thru Pacific fruit
Distributors

At the regular monthly meeting Of
the North Pacific Fruit Distributors
held on Monday in Spokane reports
were studied from the nation at large
and from every district of the North
west in particular. The worlds apple
crop was found to be 20 per cent less
in estimate than one month ago. To
show how much OF the apple output Of
the Northwest will be marketed thru
the distributors the following estimates
were given:
Hood River, 90 per cent; Yakima,
40 per cent; Walla Walla, rs per cent;
Wenatchee, IS per cent; southern
Idaho, so per cent; Montana, 55 to
90 per cent; central Idaho Washington,
IS per cent. These percentager are
all conservative estimates and repre-
sent the very latest figures compiled
by the organization.
Mr.. Davidson has just returned from
an extended tour through the eastern
markets at Philadelphia, Boston and
New York. He said yesterday.
All the large eastern dealers and
many of the smaller ones are in ac-
cord with our organization and they
approve it thoroughly and they are
with Us. We have a strong and salts
factory lineup with the eastern trade.
The apple crop in the east will only be
40 per cent of the 1912 crop and in
the west about 90 per cent"
The Distributors have. saved North
western fruit growers a million dollars
already this season by setting the prices
they have established on fruit" said
Mr.. Roderick, member Of the asso-
citation in Wenatchee recently. We
have shipped Isl cars in all; 81 are
now rolling and the money has al
ready been received for 184 cars. The
grower has received his return on an
average Of u days after the fruit has
left his hands
Look at these prices,'' continued
Mr.. Roderick. 'On summer apples
we have returned to the growers from
$1.25 to $1.35 per box. Not one box
Of pears has been sold for less than
S1.75. We have averaged IS cents
on prunes and we are holding for a
minimum OF so cents on Elbertas.

WASHINGTON HAS HIGH
GRADE COAL DEPOSITS
Production of Last Year Valued al S8,-
000,O0O-MuCh Oil Now
Used

The Goals OF Washington. while lin
tied to six or seven somewhat scat
tered areas in the western half Of the
State. chiefly along the eastern border
of Puget Sound, have wide range in
character-from anthracite to Ignite.
Lignites are found in the southwestern
part OF the State in Cowlitz and Lewis
/ counties. In Lewis County, as the
measures approach the mountains the
Ignite grades upward into coal Of sub
bituminous and bituminous quality.
The areas along Puget Sound contain
subbituminous and bituminous Goals,
some Of the latter possessing fair cox
ing quality, and in the northwestern
part of the State, on the slopes OF
Mount Baker in Whatcom county, an
thracite has been reported. Some ma
tural coke has been observed. The
coking Goals Of Washington are the
only ones of that grade on the Pacific
coast. They are found in the Wilk-
eson-Cabonado district, in Pierce
county; in the north Puget Sound field,
in Skagit and Whatcom counties; and
in the northern part of the Roslyn
field, in Kittitas county, but at present
coke is made only from the Wilkeson-
Carbonate coal. This coal is some
what high in ash and is usually washed
before coking. The smelter at Tacoma
takes most of the coke.
The coal-mining industry Of Wash
ington has suffered considerably dur
ing the last few pears from the compe-
tition Of fuel from California, the for
mer principal consumers Of Washing
ton coal, the Puget Sound steamers
and the railroads, having adopted pet
roleum for fuel. Even the railroads
that have their own coal mines imme-
diately on their lines are using oil for
locomotives, particularly through the
iorested areas, where the sparkless
character OF that fuel gives protection
against fire. The cleanliness Of the
liquid fuel and its greater economy in
labor give il a decided advantage over
coal as a steam fuel on the Sound
steamers.
The consumption Of California oil
for fuel in 1912 was approximately 49,
100000 barrels, equivalent to about
five times the total production Of coal
in the Pacific coast States. It is esti-
mated that the consumption Of fuel oil
in markets tributary to the coal mines
OF Washington displaced about 25,-
/ 100000 tons Of coal. The railroads
alone used 3,5OO.000 barrels of oil,
equivalent to 100000 tons of coal,
or more than a third Of the coal pro-
duction of the State in 1912.
The production of coal in Washing
ton reached its maximum in 1910,
when the output amounted to SPILL
89o short tons, according to E. w.
Parker, of the United States Geolo-
gical Survey, who compiled the fig
ures in cooperation with the State
Geological Survey. It decreased to
3,572,815 tons in 1911 and TO $780,
o32 tons in 1912. The value fell off
considerably less in proportion, from
SS,174,17O TO S8,042, ,871.
Reports to the United States Bureau
of Mines show that the fatalities in the
coal mines OF Washington in 1912
were fewer by one-half than in 1911,
the total number Of men killed in 1912
being IA against 81 in 1911.

The rainfall in the various counties
OF the state since January averages
seven inches less than the rainfall for
the same period last year, yet losses
from forest fires, though considerable
last year, have amounted to practically
nothing this season. Reports received
by the state forester show some dam
age to logs in fires that have burned
cutover lands, but practically no dam
age TO green timber. Although the
work Of safeguarding the forests has
been effective this year, the cost will
prove less than in 1912.

Another Check Artist Captured

Local officials landed another forger
on Monday after he had succeeded in
cashing three worthless checks on
local business men. Those who had
to suffer were J. G. Fritz, SIS; J. G.
Violette, S25; and the Overland Cafe,
$40.
Shortly after the man had cashed the
checks it was suspected that they were
worthless and an investigation brought
out the fact that they were not worth
the paper they were written on. The
man was given a hearing before Judge
Rice and confessed his crime. This
is the second check forger to be ar
rested in this city in the past ten days.

How Cobb Got Fired.

Many years ago Frank Parker was
the telegraph editor Of the st. Louis
Chronicle. One of his valued CORE
spondents was Irwin S. Cobb, who then
added to his income by putting Pa.
ducah date line over his fiction. One
day Cobb sent in particularly good
story. Parker printed it. That night
the boss came in swinging his head
like semaphore.
"Look'ut," the boss said, skipping a
syllable here and there. "Lookut this!
What suborned perjurer had this sort
of pipe dream?"
Parker told him.
Fire him." said the boss, passion
ately. "Don't wait for a letter. Fire
him by wire. Do it now"
So Parker did it. BY and by he re
ceived reply from Mr.. Cobb, in
which the latter was somewhat plain
tive.
I'm not complaining about being
fred" Cobb wrote. But I've beer

and think it's hard luck to be free

sUBSCRIPTIoN RATES.

Here Is a new job for the scientists,
the archaeologist, and whatsoever ex-
pert rules in this domain. A traveller
has reported with much distress and
amazement that there is no real pie
to be had in London. This, no doubt,
explains many things, but just what
things is not yet clear. That 1t has
a close relationship to recent trou-
BILE in England seems certain. But
which way is it? Are the suffragettes
the result of this lack of pie, or the
cause? The more reasonable explana-
tion seems to be that the men and
women have drifted naturally apart
for the reason that the women have
not learned to make real pie. Any
man who was accustomed to find a
large, round, fat, juicy, steaming pie
awaiting him on his return home
would willingly concede to his wife
any desire of her heart from dolls to
ballots, says the st. Paul Dispatch.
Any woman capable Of making such
a pie, of stalking out as 1t were so
sublime a territory of happiness Tor
man, would not give up the JOY OF
pie-making for any mere civic oppor-
tunity. There could not be, in the ma
ture of things, any discord in the fam
fly where the pie was the symbol of
the family circle.

An indignant citizen Of Chicago
writes to the Tribune complaining
that he found on his lawn the body of
a robin which had been killed by a
stone throwing boy. In every city OF
the United States, as well as in many
rural localities, there is still more or
less slaughter of song-birds. though
school children entertain a strong
sentiment against killing birds which
no doubt saves the lives of many. This
sentiment is largely the outcome OF
systematic work done by the Audubon
societies. Extending the propaganda
of these societies will do more good
than can be accomplished by protect
i've legislation, though that also is
help.
