past four years, died Tuesday at his
home on the north side Of the track.

]. B. SCHONS' BROTHER IS
KILLED IN SEATTLE ACCIDENT
Was Struck by Tongue Of Wagon and
Never ReCOyered-DnVer was
to Blame

J. B. Schons. owner Of large ranch
on Eagle Creek, received word last
week that his brother, John Schons, a
real estate broker and insurance agent
Of Seattle, was accidentally killed in
that city last Tuesday. At the time ol
the accident Mr.. Schons, who is also
the owner of an apple orchard in We
natchee. was in Spokane in attendance
at the National Apple Show where he
received word Of his brothers. death.
He left Spokane the same day fol
Seattle where he attended bis brother
funeral.
According to ]. B. Schons' story and
newspaper accounts his brother was
struck by the tongue Of an American
Express Co. wagon as he was crossing
the street to take car home. The
blow rendered him unconscious from
which he never recovered. He was
placed in an ambulance and rushed to
the Seattle hospital but died before
reaching there The accident occurred
at the corner Of Cherry street and First
avenue.
II was first thought that Mr.. Schons'
death was due to heart trouble, but a
doctors examination showed that it was
a blow in the stomach which caused
death.
The deceased had been a resident
of Seattle for more than ten years.
During that time he had always caught
his car home at that place. He was a
man nearly sixty years Of age and for
many years worked as an engineer for
the Northern Pacific Railway Company.
About four years ago he visited this dis
uict when he was buying apples and he
will doubtless be remembered by some
of the older residents.
His death, it is believed, was due 10
the carelessness OF the driver of the
wagon, and suit for damages will likely
be started.

The HOOf and Mouth Disease
General Manager.

While the dreaded foot and mouth
disease made its appearance in the
state of Washington last week, such
immediate steps were taken to prevent
its spread by state authorities that il is
doubtful if the federal government will
quaranteen Washington, the course
pursued in other states in which out
breaks were reported.
The disease appeared in herd Of
10l thoroughbred Holsteins held under
detention at Spokane. The immediate
discovery of the disease is an instance
of the care being taken by DR.. H. T.
Graves, commissioner Of agriculture, TO
prevent an epidemic in this state. Be-
fore the herd in question had entered
this state Dr.. Graves received infor-
nation that the cattle had been fed in
Minneapolis, in the same pen pre-
viously occupied by herd which had
contracted the disease upon landing in
Montana. The Holstein herd accord
ingly was given especial attention when
it arrived in Spokane and detained in
quarantine. Upon the presence of the
disease being well established all mem
bers OF the herd were shot and the car
casses burned. The clothing worn by
all inspectors taking part in the slaugh-
ter was burned and they were required
to go through a disinfecting process.
The herd destroyed was valued at
SIS 900 by its owner who will be COM
pensated, however, only on the beef
value Of the cattle, about $4,000, half
Of which will be met by the state and
half by the federal government.

ORCHARD BY-PRODUCTS IN
UPPER WENATCHFE VALLEY
f. A. Wingate Tries 1t Out Instead of
Talking About Somebody Else
Doing 1t

While others are talking about orch
ard by-products as a means to solving
the disposition Of the apple crop Of the
Wenatchee valley, F. A. Wingate, one
Of the progressive orchardists Of the
Upper Wenatchee valley, is trying an
experiment on his own hook without
ever having said a word TO anyone
about it. The other evening We dropt
into one OF the stores and by mere ac-
cident ran across some nice looking
jelly in glasses and noticed that it was
made on Mr. Wingate's ranch, near
Peshastin. The package is very neat
and attractive glass with a colored label
containing ounces of apple jelly.
The salesman who told US about it said
it was meeting with ready sale and CIV
ing excellent satisfaction to the trade.
He has put up several gross and shipt
some TO the Sound. 1t is retailed at
IS cents per glass which is cheaper
than the California jellies as We dis
covered on investigation. We are told
that he intends TO try and solve the by
products question by widening the
scope of his activity next year. He
will make in addition to jellies, jams,
preserves, and apple butter.
We wish him success and commend
his energy in trying to settle for him
self a problem that so many are waiting
for someone else TO come along and
settle for them. Who knows but in
the years to come he may rival the
famous Heinze factory with its 81 va
rieties and ten thousand employees.

No one was home at the time, Mr.. and

before ii was discovered. For a time
il looked as though the building was
sure TO be destroyed. In a very few
minutes however after the alarm had
been sounded volunteer fremen had
strung the hose and were pouring a
stream Of water on the blaze, and II
was soon extinguished without very
much damage to the building. The
fire is thought 10 have started from a
defective chimney. All Of the house
hold goods Of Mr.. and Mrs Seeley
were carried from the house and were
quite badly damaged. Mr.. Seeley's
stock of goods was also damaged to
some extent. He estimates his loss at
$50 which is covered by insurance.
