CHRISTMAS FAMILY REUNION
-FOUR GENERATIONS PRESENT
BENJAMIN Doctor Franklin and Wife,
Aged 81 and rs, Entertain Twen-
ty-fOur Descendants

Four sons and a daughter, together
with their children and grandchildren
to the number of twenty-four, were en-
tertained on Christmas day by the aged
couple, who came here last October
from Ayrshear, Iowa, built home and
intend to spend their remaining years
here among their children. They
have been married 50 years and are
in the best of health. The four sons
and daughter, who have lived here
several years, are Art franklin, aged
81, w. H. franklin 46, F. w. Frank
lin 43, Jack Franklin 80, and Mrs. C.
c. Johnson SO. One son, ]. c. Frank
lin, residing at Emettsburg, Iowa, was
not present. Herman franklin, son OF
Art Franklin, with his wife and son,
the latter a great grandson of Benja-
min Doctor Franklin, was present.
1t is not often that four generations
in one family gather round the festal
board and when they do it is worthy
of mention. The members of the
franklin family are all good citizens
and our earnest wish is that they may
be spared to have many more just
such enjoyable meetings.

ADJOURNED MEETING
OF THE CITY COUNCIL
Met to Consider Assessment Roll and
Adjourned to Meet Monday Night
For Further Consideration

When the City Council met in ad-
journed session last Friday evening to
give further consideration to the final
assessment in improvement districts
two and four, it was to find that further
adjournment was necessary on account
OF the absence of City Attorney Mel
son, who had suddenly been called
away by the news of the death of his
mother, and the council adjourned to
meet Tuesday night of this week.
There having been no objections
raised by property owners to the as
sessment in districts three and five
they had been approved previously,
so there were only the objections to
consider in districts two and four. In
both OF these districts strong protests
had been filed. In district two to the
inequality Of the assessment, and be-
cause the work had not been done ac-
cording to plans and specifications,
and because the assessment exceeded
the estimated cost OF the improvement
by over two thousand dollars. In dis.
trict four the objections were mainly
grounded on the fact that the assess
ment more than doubled the estimated
cost Of improvements. Both the OBJ
jecting districts were represented be-
fore the council by A. N. Corbin, Of
the firm Of Williams & Corbin, We
natchee, and after hearing both sides
at considerable length the council
again adjourned final consideration un-
til Monday night of next week.
In the meantime an effort is being
made to arrange compromise between
the contractors and the property own
ers on basis that will be fair to both,
and avoid resort to the courts 10 settle
the matter.

Beans Would Make Profitable Crop

Thousands Of acres OF land are lying
idle as summer fallow each year in east
ern Washington, eastern Oregon, and
northern Idaho that are we'll adapted
to the growing OF beans, states Farm
ers' Bulletin No.561 issued by the De-
partment of Agriculture.
Beans do not seriously compete with
wheat for labor, and the two crops can
be grown with practically the same
equipment. Approximately $3.50
worth of extra machinery is needed to
plant, harvest, and cultivate from 10
to 80 acres Of beans instead of cult
vating the land as summer fallow with
the present wage for man and horse
labor it requires about Sc more per
acre to grow, harvest, and market
crop of beans than it does to summer
fallow an equal area. Since beans
yield on the average about 800 pounds
per acre and sell for cents per pound,
the gross return per acre is approx
mate!y.$24. In districts adapted to
bean culture, beans are therefore ap-
proximately $18 per acre more profit
able than summer fallow.

Department OF agriculture for the Farm

WENATCHEt PUTS BAN
ON PUBLIC CARD ROOMS
Mayor Acts When Chief InSchO Says
Some of Them Permit
Gambling

All card tables and card rooms in
every pool hall in Wenatchee have
been put out of business by order of
Mayor Par. Chief Inscho reported to
him that some were careless about per-
mitting gambling even after repeated
warnings. A conference was held
with City Attorney Kemp, and the
mayor Immediately made a sweeping
order, which is to have permanent ef-
feet. This action is supported by an
ordinance which gives the mayor dis
cretionary powers.
Still more drastic measures are about
to be taken in the case of one or two
pool halls. Their licenses will be ta-
ken away without ceremony unless they
quit admitting minors, Chief Inscho
says. They have been warned against
this violation of law, but excuse them
selves on the ground that young fell
lows say they are of age.
Chief 1nscho believes that mana
gers who want to enforce this law can
do SO, declaring the reputable halls OF
the city are proving it. The proprie
tors Of these well-conducted poolhalls
are anxious to have the law enforced as
matter OF justice to themselves.

There was considerable disappoint-
ment on the part of Okanogan peach
growers, who this year marketed
through the Wenatchee Valley Fruit
Growers association. The shipments
were made over the Great Northern
line and growers were compelled to
pay local freight rates to Oroyille plus
the regular tariff from that point now
in effect on the Oroville branch. 1t
made the rate so high that the growers
netted on their peaches only little
more than 16 cents per box,
