NORTH CENTRAL
FRUIT Distributors
Want to Organize Local Branch Here
Meeting of Growers Will Be
Called

From Mr.. L. S. Allies, who has been
in correspondence with W. o. Dow,
we learn that an effort will be made to
organize the apple growers of this vi
cinity in the near future. The North
ern Pacific Fruit Distributors is organ
lied under the non-pro6t making laws.
Everything is done on cost basis. 1t
is a growers institution. Every mem
Der having one vote, and no one en-
titled to a vote unless he is shipper
of apples. It is cooperative organ
ization. The association has large
membership in this valley and made a
very successful showing in its handling
Of the past years crop.
Notice of the meeting will be given
and some one will be on hand to fully
explain all the methods of handling
fruit. The apple shipments from this
section will assume considerable pro-
portions this year and marketing the
crop is one of the problems the grow
ers will have to meet.

E.. |. Potter Temporarily In
Charge of Work

P. S. Darlington, horticultural in,
spector for Wenatchee district, COM
posed Of Chelan, Douglas, Okanogan
and Grant counties has resigned his
position and relinquished his duties
last Monday. Until his successor is
appointed Mr.. E. L. Potter will be in
charge Of the duties OF the Office.
Mr.. Darlington gives as his reasons
that the commission will not give him
force adequate to handle the work
satisfactory to the people or himself.
In his letter to T. o. Morrison, dep
uty commissioner of horticulture Of the
State OF Washington, he says, I want
you to feel that you still have my
hearty cooperation and support in
whatever you do that is for the best
interest and protection Of the fruit in
dustry. Mr.. Morrison replied that he
was sorry that Mr.. Darlington was quit
ting the inspection work and hoped
that he would change his mind and
stay with the service.

Officers Claim Robbers Known

kid" Beecher and Jimmy Ma
honey are being sought by the de-
tectives and police departments of ev-
cry city in the western part of the
United States, and when they are cap
tured, should they be, railroad detec-
tives think the men who held up the
Great Northern train at Samish and
murdered three passengers will be in
custody.
Both men are crooks, of the yegg-
man" type. The robbers left their
overcoats on the train and these have
been identified, it is asserted, as those
of Beecher and Mahoney. 1t is now
believed the men reboarded the train
and went to Bellingham, then re-
turned to Seattle, and few days later
started east. They were traced deh-
nitely as far as Butte, Montana, and
left there ostensibly to 60 to Salt Lake
CITY, but an exhaustive search OF that
city has failed to show their presence
there.
Mahoney did time" in the Utah
penitentiary for burglary. He arrived
in Seattle about month ago and was
seen much with Beecher, who has a
notorious record as yeggman, and
whose headnuarters is Chicago.

THE BIG SAW MILL
TO RESUME OPERATIONS
About the Middle of the MOnth-An I'm
pOrtant Factor 10 the Prosperity
of Leavenw0rth

II the weather conditions do not in
tervene, the big Lamb Davis saw mill
will be in full operation by the middle
of this month. The planer and box
mill was set in motion this week. giving
employment to between thirty and for
ty men. 1t is when the big mill be-
gins operations, however, the idle men
will rejoice and smiles will take the
place OF frowns on the face Of the busi-
ness community. When the plant is
in full operation it will give employ
ment to over two hundred men, with a
monthly payroll Of approximately s15.-
600.
The lumber business has been in
the doldrums OF short orders and low
prices for the past few years, but with
the outlook for better demand in the
future, the lumber mills are resuming
operations all over the west coast.
Prices have been low but with strong
er demand it is believed will also come
an advance in price. This is not look
ed for until the season advances and
building activity begins. That the de-
mand for lumber is growing is indicat-
ed by the receipt Of car load orders in
increasing numbers from the eastern
states in the past thirty days. The
prospect Of large fruit crop and the
known increase in the bearing acreage
in this valley will call for an unusually
large number Of boxes so that the box
mill may be expected to run its full
capacity the balance of the year.
The Lamb. Davis Lumber Co. is well
supplied with logs, having enough on
hand to keepit busy for several months.
Logging operations ceased last fall but
will no doubt be resumed ere long, as
the demand for lumber and boxes grows
stronger and business OF all kinds gets
in full swing.
Next to the Great Northern railway,
the Lamb-Davis Lumber Co. is the
largest employer of labor in this region
and therefore an important factor in
the prosperity Of Leavenworth. Dur
ing the winter of 1912 and 1913 the
company had between four and five
hundred men employed in logging,
which accounts for the large number
of logs on hand at this time.

tions for two additional contests, as fol-
lows: A contest for the largest pro-
duction and percentage of the best
grades grown on a specified number oi
trees. A contest for the largest pro-
duction and highest percentage Of the
best grades grown on definite acre
age, with figures on the actual cost oi
production and the income. The
committee voted unanimously to ex-
tend the conference idea at the next
apple show, and among the phases ol
the industry to come up for discussion
were mentioned pruning, spraying,
thinning and cover crops. Others will
be added.

WFNATCHEE THEATRE MAN
VIOLATES CLOSING ORDINANCE
J. {. Ferguson Runs His Show on Sun
day and is Arested--BOth Sides
Will Fight

Technically J. E. Ferguson was
Monday behind prison bars, says the
Wenatchee World. In reality the
former chief OF police of Wenatchee
and ex-sheriff of Chelan county is very
much at liberty. He was placed un-
der arrest by Chief OF Police R. L.
Bartlett charged with violating the Or
dinance which prohibits Sunday thea
tiers to be operated in this city. Fer
guson was allowed to go his way on
his own recognizance, for it is well un-
derstood between him and the city Of
ficials that his is to be test case in
which the city attorney is interested
more from legal point of view than
to prosecute for violation OF the law.
Attorneys Whitney & Hughes and
Sam R. Sumner, who will defend Fer
guson, Immediately prepared an ap-
phcation TO Judge GrlmshaW for writ
of habeas corpus, alleging that their
client is unlawfully detained. This
will take the case out Of justice court
and put it into superior court at once.
The argument OF the defense will be
that the Sunday closing ordinance is
void in that it is not authorized by
statute. Thus the validity of the or
dinance will receive its test imme-
diately. 1t is possible that the matter
will be taken to the supreme court on
appeal.
The Sunday closing ordinance is
looked upon in Wenatchee by most
people as joke. Mr.. Ferguson has
announced that he will open his show
again next Sunday and arrangements
are being made for Sunday ball.

co. SUPERINTENDENT
VISITS PUBLIC SCHOOL
Spends Week Here and Makes thorough
InspectiOn-Finds Conditions Very
Satisfactory

Miss Viletta Guthrie, County SUI
perintendent of Public Schools spent
the week here making an inspection
OF our school system, the work being
done by the teachers and the schol-
ars, the teaching methods, the equip
ment, indeed, everything connected
with our schools.
In an interview with Miss Guthrie
on Thursday afternoon, after having
put in four days with the teachers and
scholars while engaged in actual school
work, she said:
II have many reasons to be per
fectly satisfied with the Leavenworth
schools, and think that it is due the
patrons and the people Of your city to
state frankly that they have. all things
considered. as good a school as there
is in the county, and have reason to
believe, judging from the expression,
that large majority of the patrons oi
the school are pleased with the pro-
gress the children are making in the
different branches of study. If there
is any friction among the teachers
have not been able to discover it.
Nothing so much as harmony among
the teachers promotes the general well
fare of the school. From close OBJ
servation have noticed that the pu-
pills are industrious, which is largely
due to the efforts of the teachers in
arousing and keeping alive the interest
of the individual scholar stimulating
ambition by precept and example. ]
find your school board alive to the best
interests of the school, and as con-
sequence you have a progressive
school. Since my last annual visit you
have added to the school equipment.
Many valuable books OF reference have
been added to the library which have
been found useful and bear evidence
of use. In music, art, writing, do
mestic science and manual training,
note gratifying improvement.

WFNATCHEE PARK co
ELECTS new PRESIDENT
The Rev. A. B. Peters Succeeds Geo. S
Merriam-MOst of the Land is
Now Sold

At a meeting of the board OF trus-
tees of the Wenatchee Park Land &
Irrigation Company held in Wenatchee
Monday, Rev. A. B. Peters was ell
ected president Of the corporation.
George S. Merriam resigned, giving
his reason that his 40 acres OF orchard
at Peshastin comes into bearing this
year and will require almost his entire
attention. No change was made in
any other OF the Offices.
Mr.. Peters and members of his fam
lily have become very heavily inter
ested in the 5000 acre project at the
head OF the Wenatchee valley. They
have not only purchased considerable
acreage which they are improving, but
have acquired large block OF stock in
the corporation. Mr.. Peters himself is
in the East at this time working in the
interests Of the bunker national con-
ference to be held in Seattle next
June. Two of his sons are now farm
ing on the project where they have
made their homes. Another son, John
Peters, is the sales agent. Almost the
entire settlement of the project is be-
ing made by Bunker colonization.
Sales have been made very rapidly
and have progressed so far that it is
not expected to have an acre left for
sale within the next four or five months.
The Wenatchee Park Lands are
located in the Chewawa river valley
about IS miles from this city.

The following concerning Nick
Fuller, the ball player well known here
was taken from a Wenatchee paper:
Nick Fuller, North Yakima's first base
man, breaks into print on his 1918
record in list of ball players who
stole so or more bases during the sea-
son. The list is compiled BY the
Sporting News and Fuller's name is
the only one from the Western Tn
State league included. He has 81
steals credited to him. The Pacific
Coast league shows the greatest num-
Der who pilfered so or more bags but
this is due to the fact that the Coast
league schedule has more than zoo
games.
