Have Shipped 2,OO1 Cars of Fruit

This clipping was taken from the
Pacific Banker, published at Portland,
Oct. 10, 1914, Spokane correspond
ence.
At the close of business, September
80, the North Pacific Fruit Distributors
had shipped 2O01 cars of fruit this
season. OF this number, payment in
full on 1872 cars had been remitted
already to the growers. This repre-
sents $62o, 400, which is S232,057
greater than the amount disbursed at
the same date year ago. Average
prices per car this year run about the
same as year ago in spite of the fact
that the war has affected the market
and some concerns are slashing prices
ruthlessly.

Scenic Highway Camps close

F. w. Easley, who has charge OF
Chelan county's portion of the Scenic
Highway construction work, has closed
his camp for the year, after building
four and a half miles of switchback road
and one mile of new road. About ten
miles of new road are to be built next
spring, costing in the neighborhood of
$4,000 per mile. Financial arrange
ments have been completed for this
work. On the west side King county
is working from both ends, one crew
west of Tye and the other working east
Of Scenic. A fine road is being built.
Scenic Highway officials state that this
road across the Cascades, which follows
the old Great Northern switchback, will
be opened and ready for traffic by June
IS, giving direct route from Seattle
to Spokane.

The Safety First" campaign inaugu-
rated at the suggestion Of Governor
Lister and carried on successfully thru
the joint efforts of the labor and indus
trial insurance departments, also is
credited with aid in prevention OF this
class Of accidents. A total Of 423 firms
employing 25,722 men, now have
shop safety committees" at work, the
workmen on these committees number
ing 1885.
The statistics in regard to causes Of
accidents prepared this year by the
industrial insurance commission are
said to be the most complete of their
kind ever assembled in this country.
The tables show not only the number
of accidents attributed to each cause,
but the time loss of injured workmen
in work days. The total time loss
attributed to the 1886 accidents is
357,010 work days.

Bag Three Mountain Goat

State Game Warden R. B. Wales,
A. G. Gray, chairman of the county
game commission, Ross Watson, coun-
ty game warden, and M. E. Field,
owner of the big hotel at the head of
Lake Chelan, came down from the
lake the first OF the week with three
fine specimens Of mountain goat,
which when mounted will make up
part of the Washington State exhibit at
the San Francisco fair next year. The
animals were found on the summit OF
the Cascade range at a point about Dc
miles north Of Stehekin. The first day
out they sighted the goats and bagged
the three. which consisted OF billy,
nanny and a kid. The goats were
found at an altitude Of $500 feet and
much difficulty was experienced in
bringing them out.
According to Game Warden Wales,
there has been considerable unlawful
shooting Of goats in the Cascades this
season and steps will be taken to ap-
prehend the offenders. He says that
a number OF the animals, which after
three years Of age are unfit for food,
have been killed for their heads and
hides, and this plainly is against the
law, except when taken for scientific
purposes.

LOCAL FOOTBALL TEAM
LOSES TO WENANCHEE
Red Apple Boys Win by Score of 50 to 0
Coach Brown Still has Hopes

The Leavenworth High School Foot
ball team lost their first game of the
season to the Wenatchee team in that
city last Friday by score OF SO to O..
The locals made hard fight from all
accounts but were simply outclassed
and in addition their opponents were
much heavier. The Wenatchee High
School according to a Wenatchee paper
was not forced to kick once during the
game and made yardage at will thru
the Leavenworth line around the end
or by forward passes. Line bucks of
10 and IS yards were not unusual, end
runs netting 40 to so yards and forward
passes S to 25 yards. Coach Brown of
the Leavenworth team is still working
on his men and believes that he will
yet develop a strong team.
Today Wenatchee will play the Col
fax team for the championship OF east
ern Washington and on Oct. 80, they
have a game scheduled with the Everett
team. They have strong team and
are out after the state championship.

REGISTRATION HEAVY
ALL OVER THE STATE
Over 5000 Votes Will Be Cast in CheIan
COunty-PrOhibitiOn Measurs
ArOuSeS Interest

Reports from different towns through
out the county as we'll as all over the
state indicate that the registration that
closed on Tuesday OF last week is by
all odds the heaviest in the history Of
the state. Intense interest in the pro-
hibition question, the 8-hour problem,
the first aid proposition and other mi
tiative measures to be voted on Novem-
Der 8 is given credit for the big show
ing made. The ballot that the voter
will get in this election when he goes
to the polls will be over four feet in
length and is very complicated and
great care should be taken that one
does not invalidate their ballot.
In Chelan county this year it is esti-
mated that over 5000 votes will be
cast.
The registration in all of the incor-
porated towns is unusually heavy this
year. Leavenworth registered I'll,
Wenatchee 2,406, Cashmere 470 and
Chelan 400.
Seattle registration was 90, 600,
against 83,875 in 1912; Bellingham,
10,615. against 9,161 in 1912; 1926
of those registering being women, and

PAUL WEIGAND TALKS
ABOUT THE BIG WAR
Says that in Germany the People Be
Iieye the Struggle Will End
Next Year

Paul Weigand who hailes from the
Fatherland says Don't believe any
thing you see in the paper about Ger
many" The first of this week Paul
receievd some papers from Berlin, the
capitol city of Germany, in which there
were many interesting items about the
war. Among them where the German
people by voluntary subscription had
raised 389,756,000 marks which in
our money is equivalent to $1,050,-
137,o04. For this money the govern
ment issues bonds to the people bear
ing 51a per cent interest.
When one stops to think that the
German government had not asked for
contributions from its people, the rails
ing of this enormous amount among the
citizens goes to show how much
interest the germans are taking in the
war. Up to the first of September the
teutons had 100000 allies in their
prisons. Another item of considerable
importance in the paper was that the
Germans were planning an invasion ol
England. 1t was predicted that they
would be on English soil before Christ
mas. AS to who will be the victor al
the close of the war, which they say
will end by the middle of next year,
there is no doubt in Germany.

WASHINGTON TEACHERS
RECEIVE OVER 7 MILLION
Corps of 8639 Required in the State
Last Year-WOmen'S Average
$83.S5

Salaries aggregating $7,077,753 were
paid the corps OF 1863 teachers en-
ployed in the public schools OF this
state, including high schools, during
the last school year, according to
statistics compiled in the Office of Mrs.
Josephine Preston, state superintend-
ent of instruction. The total OF salary
warrants was about $500, 1000 in excess
of that for the previous year, when 81
45o teachers were employed.
Salaries paid women teachers, who
numbered 6o28, averaged $83.85 per
month last year, while the salaries OF
the I'LL male teachers averaged S105.
10. This difference between the sal
aries paid men and women was much
less marked than for the previous year,
during which the average salary paid
women was only 5000, while the
average male teachers salary was
$106.42
The total enrolment in all public
schools last year was 238 ,663, of which
,321 was in high schools.
While no exact statistics were avail
able to show the proportion Of grammar
school children going to high school,
comparison OF the 1913 county super
intendents' reports, which showed 49,
312 children enrolled in the eighth
grade with the 1914 report, showed
13,303 enrolled in the first year OF high
school. 1t indicates that u percent
of the eighth grade graduates enter
high school. Only about one-third ol
this number, however, finally graduate
from the high school,

CASCADE HIGHWAY
PROPOSED IN 1896
Index News

According to the old records in the
Office of County Engineer Hans Mumm
the present movement to build a pub
lie highway through the Cascade
mountains by way Of Stevens pass is
not a new one. In 1896 when ]. J..
Sheehan was county engineer, survey
was made by his men by request of
county commissioner for such road.
1t began at a point near the forks Of
the river below town and extended up
the south fork to the King county line.
That was in the time OF the big boom
throughout the country and the idea
was conceived to build this highway
over the mountains to tap the rich
Chelan country. Not as much interest
was developed in the plan as was ex-
pected and it was dropped and soon
forgotten only to be taken up again
sixteen years later
For the past two years the support
ers OF the movement have been steadily
at work boosting the cause and this
last spring saw the first actual con-
struction work done when King county
started in to build its 25 miles. Che
Ian county is also working on its part
and in a year from now it will be pos
sible to go from the Wenatchee valley
to Barring by auto, the only piece OF
the entire highway not being com
pleted being that which was surveyed
in 1896. However. the Snohomish
county officials are working on ways
and means to provide for its share OF
the road and it is safe to predict that
it will be ready for travel shortly after
the other part is finished.
The old survey roads are very crude
and lacking detail and, it is stated, will
be OF no use in constructing the pres
ent proposed road.

CHELAN COUNTY VALUES
GO UP THIRTY PER CENT
The InTeaSe is Largely Due to the In
crease in Railroad and Fruit Tree
Valuation

County Assessor Joe Johnson, who
spent several days here this week, told
an Echo reporter that Leavenworth
people would have their taxes reduced
IL mills this year. Last year we paid
SAX mills while this year it will only
be 421a mills. Mr.. Johnson predicts
that each year from now on the taxes
will decrease.
The comparative tax statements for
1913 and 1914 for Chelan county show
that the taxable valuation of the county
has jumped from $15,20S,990 to $19,-
784,028, or an increase of nearly 80
per cent in one syear. OF this in
crease practically 100000 was due
to the construction of the new Great
Northern line up the Columbia and in
creased valuation Of the main line.
Approximately $3,000,000 of the
increase is due to the fact that the as
SCISSOR is forced to tax fruit trees.
There has been little cut in either the
state or the city taxes. The big cut
will be made by the county, where
there is a decrease of $40,458 in the
current expense fund. The total net
decreases in state taxes will be only
$4o41.
Every town in the county will have
to raise more money for taxes than last
year. For instance, while Wenat-
chee's levy has dropped from 17.25
mills to 16 mills, the amount OF money
raised by taxation will be $2252 more
than that raised last year. OF the total
taxes raised in this county 44.58 per
cent is for education. Road work will
claim 24.13 per cent, county govern
ment about s per cent and municipal
government more than Is per cent.
Altogether the county cut amounts to
$51,o07.

UNIQUE PLAN FORMED FOR
ADVERTISING OUR APPLES
Prize Winning Apples at National Apple
Show will be Put on Display
in the East

From Pacific northwestern orchards
to places of honor on the tables set for
de luxe travellers in the east and mid
die west is the delightful destiny in
store for all prize winning apples at the
Seventh National Apple Show and Fruit
Products congress to be held in Spo-
kane the week beginning November
16.
According to plans worked out by
Manager Gordon c. Corbaley of the
show, every apple sent east will be an
emissary carrying the fame OF the north
western apple to consumers in all parts
of the nation. Enclosed in neat
wrapper on which will be printed the
variety, location Of the orchard and the
story of the apples prize winning feat
at the National Apple show, each apple
will be placed on the table OF dining
car on one of the northern transconti-
mental railroads.
This distribution, which will place
the pride of the northwest's orchard
output before tens OF thousands OF
well-to-do fasteners, is the most pre-,
tentious advertising scheme ever un-
dertaken by the apple show for the
benefit OF the apple industry. Arrange
ments haye been made with officials
of every railroad radiating from Chicago
and other great centers to place the
apple shows prize winners before din
ing car patrons.
This novel method Of advertising
has received the approval OF the North
Pacific Fruit Distributors and Other
marketing organizations, and the unique
manner of distribution has appealed
strongly to scores of growers consulted
by Manager Corbaley in practically
every fruit district OF the northwest.
The apples will be distributed under
the direction OF the trustees OF the
apple show, and the fruit will leave
here Immediately following the close
of the show, November 81. 1t is ex-

HIGH AUTHORITY APPROVES
THE QUINCY VALLEY PROJECT
President of Farmers Union and Grange
Organization Say They Will Vote
and Urge Others

L. c. Grow, State President Of the
Washington Farmers Union, in an
interview made public Tuesday, came
out strongly behind the Quincy Valley
Irrigation project which comes up be-
fore the voters OF the state November 8.
II have been deeply interested in
the hard struggle of the people OF the
Quincy Valley against continual crop
failures under dry farming methods,
and have been much in sympathy with
their struggle to get under way their
plans for irrigation Of those lands" said
Mr.. Crow. Il attended the meeting
at which John T. Condor, of the State
University Of Washington Law School,
explained the provisions Of the Quincy
Act. 1t seems to me that every possi-
BILE safeguard is thrown around the
interests of the Quincy project as we'll
as absolute protection to the state.
This is especially important as it is to
determine whether the Quincy lands
can be irrigated, aad at reasonable
cost. or in other words to determine
the feasibility of the project. The
whole state should know whether it is
a feasible proposition and the informa-
ton will come without any cost to the
state outside OF the lands to be irri-
gated. They alone are bonded to pay
for all the costs which will arise if this
Quincy Act carries. And if the pro-
ject is found feasible, it will add an
empire Of new producing land in the
state to provide homes for more people
on the farms. The crying need is more
men on the farms and they surrounded
with better conditions.
This great organization which l
represent is an organization of con-
structive purpose. We are working
for the betterment OF humanity. begin
ming with the farmer or producer, as
the basis OF humanity's welfare. The
farmer to be prosperous means general
and widespread prosperity. So we set
our hands to the task Of first bettering
the condition OF those already on the
farms and encouraging more Of our
people to get out into the bright sun

OF 1886 accident claims brought
to final settlement by the industrial
insurance commission during the past
year, only 5000, or Is per cent, were
due to machinery or other mechanical
causes, statistics prepared by the COM
mission show. For the previous year
80 per cent of the accidents were
classed as mechanical.
This striking reduction is attributed
by the commission to the efforts OF
Labor Commissioner E. w. Olson, in
devising and installing new forms Of
mechanical safeguards as a part Of his
departments factory inspection work.

state Grange Organizer FavOrs Quincy
Act


In statement from the platform at
Quincy last Saturday at the big Grant
county rally for the Quincy reclamation
act, Walter S. Wright, state organizer
for the Washington State Grange, spoke
very encouragingly for the measure
urging full study of its provisions and
believes that because of the safeguards
thrown around the measure, it should
have the support of the voters of the
state. Il am not in favor Of going
ahead with any project that is expen-
sive," continued Mr.. Wrigh, but this
Quincy Referendum measure provides
first to determine the feasibility Of the
proposed irrigation project, and if found
feasible at a reasonable cost provides a
method of financing it with safeguards
so provided that it will not be possible
to place a cost burden on the state.
I will certainty do what I can to call
this matter to favorable attention OF the
Grangers of the State.
