Matt O'Hara and Dan Gilchrist, who
have been employed as brakemen on
the Great Northern for several years
and well known here, left Tuesday at
ternoon for Duluth, Mimi, where they
will spend the summer, probably re-
turning to the west next fall.
Deak Brown, of Monitor, was here
Wednesday. He says the outlook for
a big fruit crop in the entire Wenat-
chez valley was never better. He
ought to know as he has big orchard
Of his own and has lived here long
enough to be a good Judge.
Samuel Muncrief arrived here this
week from Oklahoma, on visit to his
son-in-law, c. E. Anderson. He says
he likes the looks Of things here, es-
pecially the climate. If some of our
real estate men do not tie him up so
he can not go back we will conclude
they are not onto their job.
Geo. w. Brown, prominent We
natchee lake rancher was here the first
OF this week. He was accompanied
by his daughters, Miss leila and Mrs.
Geo. Shugart, the latter of whom took
the train here yesterday for Lake Che
Ian where her husband has logging
contract. Mr.. Brown says he will open
Dirty Face lodge on the 9th of May
and keep it open until the first of No
vember.
E. E. Bachelor who was down from
the Wenatchee lake region this week
said to an Echo reporter that the
single mill was running night and
day and giving steady employment to
some twenty men. The output of
shingles finds a ready market in the
eastern states on account of their su-
periority to the coast shingles. The
east OF the mountain cedar makes a
better grade than the western wood,
say the single buyers.
Frank Fromm, sawyer at the Leav-
enworth Lumber Co., was painfully in
iured last Friday when in the act OF
cleaning the sawdust away from the
saw he was struck in the stomach by
a flying stick. The stick is believed
to have caught in the saw. The blow
rendered him unconscious for several
minutes but according to DR.. Judah
there will be no serious results. He
has been confined to his home since
the accident.

The Gold Bar Record says: A train
over half a mile long, comprised OF
IS cars and with a tonnage of $500
tons, was made up in the local yards
last Wednesday morning and started
over the hill to Leavenworth. The
usual tonnage hauled by two engines
is about 1900 but this train was run
out as an experiment. The train was
under the charge of conductor Chas.
Foster and pulled by engineers Brown
and Gritzmacher. This is said to be
the heaviest train ever pulled over the
mountains.
c. F. Rupel, one of the first resi-
dents OF the Wenatchee Park irrigated
region in the Chewawa river valley was
here with his wife last Tuesday pur-
chasing a new household outfit, having
lost his house and all household goods
on the 23d OF this month by fire. The
fire was OF accidental origin and when
discovered had made such Roadway
that very little could be saved. The
loss in house and household goods was
estimated to be between twelve and
fifteen hundred dollars. E. J. Maus,
said Mr.. Rupel, was called to Wenat-
