o. R. Henkel. a moving picture
booking agent, is enamoured with the
Wenatchee valley, particularly that por-
ton between Wenatchee and Leaven-
worth. He is going to submit prop
osition to the Commercial club Of We
natchee for an order for 1000 feet OF
film showing orchard scenes. These,
if made, will be shown in the movies
all over the United States and should
be very effective advertising. Mr..

Henry Walter, an orchardist living
near Cashmere, died in the hospital in
Wenatchee Tuesday as result Of
blood poisoning. About two weeks
ago Mr.. Walters removed silver from
his hand with pocket knife. In few
days his hand began to swell and on
examination it was found that blood
poison had set in. His condition be-
came critical and he was taken to the
hospital and given prompt medical at
tention, but the poison had gone all
through his system and though the
physicians used serum to counteract
the poison, it had little effect. Mr..
Walters was a member of the Yeomen
lodge which organization will have
charge Of the funeral.
J. A. Gellatly, Of Wenatchee, the
defeated candidate for congress from
the fifth district, is being urged by his
friends to take his case into the courts.
Mr.. Gella,ly believes that that part Of
the election laws relating to the second
choice provision cost him the nomina-
ton. Approximately 500 voters in the
district voted first choice for Con-
gresham but failed to designate sec
ond choice and their ballots were
thrown out. Attorneys in Wenatchee
are now studying the question and it
is quite likely that the matter will be
threshed out in the courts. If the
supreme court should decide the sec
ond choice provision as unconstitu-
tional Gellatly would be the nominee
on the republican ticket instead Of
Rosenhaupt.
