MEASUR.ERS IF
 SNOW ARE BACK
Baker and Meakcr Return from Mountains North of Fort Apache Where They Set Snow Scales on the Watershed

Snow in such quantities as to pre- ciude the possibility of setting all the snow scales, was spread all over the wooded portion Of the Roosevelt watershed, according to reports of the weather bureau and reclamation service men who returned from the mountains yesterday.
 In a trip from Phoenix via Globe and Fort Apache t0 twenty miles be- y,nd Pinedale, Kenneth Meaker of tLo weather bureau and sheldon K. Baker. reclamation engineer. saw more of the beautiful than they had come across in their entire experience" in this state Indeed. the snow was sc big that it could not be traVersed !n some regions, and but eight of the twenty measuring stations were es- abolished. It was the original plan tp set the stake before the snow came but the instruments arrived so late this was impossible.
 Baker was enthusiastic about the watershed prospects yesterday.
 "I do not believe there is d foot of the wooded part of the Watershed t.at is not covered Vith snow. The tcmperature has been uniformly low au the while we were mp there. and Was steadily falling when we left. It
 was three above zero yesterday.
 The north sides cf the mountains are covered to the average depth of just about thirty in@hcs For many years, eighteen inches of snow has constituted Il record iE the Tonto and Salt River basins. so this fall is something tremendous.
 By the temperature the two cXpIor- c: judge that the snowfall in the mountains is not all cn the ground. but that much more win fall before spring comes to put an end t. tn" accumulation.
 The actual measur6m ments of snow fall will not be taken until spring When it is definitely decided all the snow has fallen that this winter is going to provide. tho. observers will go back into the hills gather mp the scales and read their register of depth and weight. Then will follow a long series of calculations that will include areas and amounts of snow, and the 1 result will show how much moisture i falls on the Roosevelt watershed in l d winter.

 The man had sat calmly during this time without speaking a word, but when the guards started to arrest him he stretched forth hand calmly with d restraining gesture and said:

 Then he told how the woman had attempted to engage him in conversa- = tion and how he had courteousfy re- sisted her advances, until she had aroused the officials by her screams and had pretended to be struck. The officials accepted the mans state ment. had the woman placed under arrest, and at the next station she was turned over to police officers who, upon making an investigation discovered that she was an adVen- turess.

UNDBLOM AGAINST MAYAR
RESULTED IN A NONSUIT
Case Tried Before Judge Grimshaw in
WenatChee tuesday and
Wednesday

The above entitled cause grew out
Of building contract, in which con-
tractor Lindblom fled lien on a brick
building erected in 1912 for Deed H.
Magyar and asked for the foreclosure OF
a lien and payment Of $o04.l0, which
he claimed was the balance due under
the contract. After the plaintiff had
presented his case to the court the
cause was dismissed on motion of the
attorney for the defendant on the
ground that an acceptance of the bull
ding by the supervising architect and
the issue of final estimate was pre-
requisite to the fling Of lien and suit
on the contract. The suit was dis
missed at the cost of the plaintiff
and the lien set aside. The firm OF
Reeves, Crollard & Reeves represented
the plaintiff and Williams & Corbin the
defendant.

Apples in the Upper WenatChee Valley

1t is estimated by those who have
made a study Of the matter that from
fifty to seventy-fve cars Of apples will
be shipped from Leavenworth this year.
The Peshastin yield will exceed the
1912 crop and is estimated at $50 TO
$50 cars.
This years crop will exceed that Of
any previous year. The apples are
exceptionally fine, two-ffths Of the
planted area in the valley is bearing,
and Cashmere will produce 1850 car
loads Of fine apples, with prices rang
ing from SIPS to $3.50, according to
variety and size.
Monitor will also ship a large ton
mage, and Dryden's fruit is also Of fine
quality, and they will have several car
loads more than last year.

BARCLAY BUILDING TO
BE COMPLETED OCT. |
New Three Story Structure Will be Dr.
yided Into Hotel, Lobby and Motion
Picture Show

The new Barclay building which
has been under construction for the
past four months will be practically
completed the first of next month ac-
cording to a statement given out by
Mr.. Barclay this week. The upstairs
which has been divided into 33 rooms
to be used as a hotel, is modern in
every respect and will be ready for the
furniture next week. Most of the
work yet to be done is on the ground
floor and basement The glass for
the front has been ordered, but has not
yet arrived and may cause a few days
delay. The ground floor has been di-
vided into two rooms, one of which
Mr.. Barclay states will be used for a
moving picture show and the other for
a hotel lobby and sample room. Sew
eral parties have been figuring on rent
ing the basement and it is likely that
this room will be occupied by bowl
ing alley and barber shop.
Mr.. Barclay is in hopes that he will
be able to rent the entire building, so
that he may continue to run his busi-
ness in Seattle but says he will come
here to live in case he fails to get a
satisfactory lessee. The hotel PROPOSE
ton is a good one and he says he will
come here to live in case he fails to
get satisfactory lease. The prop
osition is a good one and he says
he will make a reasonable figure on
the rent to anyone signing a five year
lease.

BOGUS CHECK ARTISTS
SENT TO WALLA WALLA
Three Men Arrested in This City in Two
Weeks for WiCtimizing Local
Merchants

Three men who were careless about
the use OF bank checks plead guilty to
criminal charges Saturday and were
given sentences in Wenatchee by
Judge Grimshaw. John Cooper, who
was released from a British Columbia
penal institution only few months
ago for forgery and who was arrested
for the same offense committed at We
natchee and here, was given from 10
to IS years hard labor in the peniten-
tiary. Cooper forged check on F.
H. Hutchinson and attempted to pass
off worthless checks on o. S. Sampson
and E. P. Sharman. F. A. True, who
cashed three SIS checks in this city
on J. B. Violette, J. G. Fritz and the
Overland Cafe, will serve from 5 to
10 years for forgery. One other young
man from this city was let off with a
light sentence of 80 days in Jail, it be-
ing his first offense at issuing checks
when he had no money in the bank.
Anthony Jensen, a young man ID
years OF age, was adjudged insane.
Drs. Window and Haskell were the
examiners. He was apparently lucid
except on one subject. He talks
about the underworld and imagines
that vicious characters are trailing him
for the purpose Of doing him injury.
Prosecutor Sorensen asked him what
he would do if he met one Of these
bad men.
i would shoot him, was the quick
reply. He was committed to the
asylum at Medical Lake.

ANOTHER ARREST FOR
FORGERY THIS WEEK
Local Business Men Get Stung for $40
Check Artist Uses Harry
Bryanfs Name

A man giving the name OF J. Siv-
ener, recently from Illwaco, Wash,
was arrested Monday by the author
tiles for issuing two bogus checks foI
$40 each. The checks were drawn
on Harry Bryant and cashed by J. q.
Fritz and VIM. O'Rourke. Sivener on
his arrival had a certificate Of deposit
for $27 which he placed with the Lea
venworth State Bank. He drew one
check on the bank for SIS which was
cashed by Mr.. Day Of the Last Chance
Confectionery store aud afterwards at
tempted to stop payment on the same
at the bank. His actions convinced
Cashier R. B. Field that he was out to
defraud some one, and he gave him
the rest of his money, saying that he
did not care to do any further business
with him. He later issued the two
checks forging Mr.. Bryant's name. Al
he preliminary hearing Tuesday he
claimed that he was drunk. On the
advice of Assistant Prosecuting At

G. N. RY. co. PREPARES
FOR SNOW TROUBLES
Much Work Done This Year by Con-
tractors DahIquiSt & SOn-MH
Close Their Camp this Week

The contracting firm Of Dahlquist &
Son, who have been doing betterment
work for the Great Northern Ry. few
miles up the canyon for the past four
months have about finished their job
and are expecting to break up their
camps this week. The most of the
bad curves and cuts where the COM
pany experienced so much snow trou
Bile last winter due to slides have been
widened and cut down and local Off
cials are not looking for as much of
this character of trouble the coming
winter. Many new snow sheds have
been built the past summer between
this point and the tunnel AID most of
the danger has been eliminated. Ow-
ing to the large amount of money
spent this year by the company in
widening their roadbed il is the belief
of many Of the employees that the
railroad company will sooner or later
double track their system over the
Cascade mountains. 1t has been re-
ported that the head officials OF the
Great Northern have been contempla-
ting such a move for several years and
il is not unlikely that the work will be-
gin before many more summers have
passed. II is well known fact that
ultimately the company will be pulling
all their trains between this point and
Cascade tunnel with electric motors,
and the double tracking Of the division
will doubtless be completed before
that time.

FRUIT GROWERS ALARMED
THROUGH FEAR OF BLIGHT
Deputy Fruit Inspectors Were Dismissed
Legislature Failed to Provide
Pay for Them

District Horticultural Inspector Oar
lington gave warning Tuesday that the
orchard industry of this valley, rep
resenting an investment of $40, 0,000,-
600, is seriously menaced by recent
ruling OF the state attorney general,
whereby all deputy inspectors OF the
state horticultural department were
summary dismissed.
The order comes at the most critical
time in the history Of the fruit growing
industry of the state. This season s
blight has appeared with virulence
never before observed in this section.
All districts have suffered. The We
natchee valley is said to have less
blight than other districts, but Oar
lington estimates that $4,000 dam
ages have been done TO orchards this
season alone. He and his four in
spectors have been waging relentless
war and they were sure of eradicating
all signs this fall. Now that their ef-
forts are discontinued it is feared that
blight will reappear next spring worse
than ever.
The attorney generals ruling is said
to have been caused by a discovery
that the last Legislature in recognizing
a number of departments into the agri-
cultural commission, neglected by in
advertence TO provide for employment
Of deputy inspectors for district Off
cials. There is movement on loot
here 10 raise funds by public subscrip-
ton to meet the present emergency.

MOUNTAIN CLIMBING CONTEST
fXCITES UNUSUAL INTEREST
Bert Sparrow WagerS $50 he Can Climb
Peak and Return in as Minutes
Loses by % Minutes

Probably the most exciting noun
tain contest ever held in Chelan county
occurred yesterday afternoon, when
Bert Sparrow, a Greek and noted
mountain climber attempted to climb
the peak west Of the city and return TO
the starting point in As minutes.
Sparrow is well known around this
city as an athlete and hunter Of
much prowess and for several days has
been offering to bet a sum Of money
that he could climb the mountain and
return to the starting point in 40 min
utes. It remained for Hamilton &
Peake real estate agents to accept his
challenge and a side bet Of $50 was
put upon the result. To make sure
that there would be no backing out on
the part Of either OF the parties con-
tract was drawn up stipulating that the
race must be run on or before Sept.
18 barring inclement weather and in
that case the time limit would be ex-
tended six days. Yesterday being
fair day it was agreed upon by both
parties to pull off the contest. Spar
row at first was reluctant to make the
climb saying that he was not in the
best Of physical condition as he had
not been feeling first class for several
days but finally agreed to 60 thru with
his bet when Hamilton & Peake con-
sented to extend the time limit from
40 to As minutes. Hundreds of peo-
pie had become interested in the con-
test as he said Il won't disappoint
them"
A flag bearing the words Hamilton
& Peake, real estate and insurance
agent was placed on the highest
point Of the mountain by Billy Smith
who remained on the mountain top
until the arrival Of Sparrow.
The ascent Of the mountain began
at 3:45, after Sparrow had shed all Of
his garments except his underclothes.
He was due back at the starting point
which was a place designated as the
Lonesome Pine" at 4:30, and many
bets were made as to the outcome Of
his trip. Fully a hundred people
gathered to witness the feat and for
the first ten minutes, during which
time the spectators were able to keep
their eyes on the climber, it did not
seem as though he was going to have
much trouble in winning his money.
After he had lost himself in the
timber he was seen no more until he
returned to the starting point, one
hour and eight minutes later. The
real estate men had won their money,
and there were a number OF others who
could not see how mere man could
make the trip in the time specified,
who picked up little easy money.
Dee Fisher, who backed Sparrow, was
probably the heaviest loser. Sparrow
will probably make the climb again in
few days, and it is reported that he
will make a wager Of $3.50 that he
can make the round trip in so minutes.

climber, who placed the flag on the
