APPLE CROP THIS YEAR
WILL EXCEED $4,000 CARS
Spokane Man Says Crop of Northwest
Will be Doubled This Year-MOre
Canning Plants Needed

The northwest's apple crop this year
will exceed $4,000 cars. and may
reach as high as $4,000 cars, accord
ing to the statement of C. R. Greison
of Portland, Oregon, industrial superin-
tendent OF the National Apple show.
The crop last year amounted ito ap-
proximately $4,000 cars and the large
increase this year will result in ser
ious problem to the grower in the dis
tribution of the surplus, it is feared.
The large number Of new orcha'd ds
coming into bearing will result in an
increase double that of last year in the
Wenatchee and North Yakima Sec
TONS said Mr. Greisen. We are
facing the question of what shall be
done with this immense crop. At the
present time am on a trip east for
the purpose of interesting capital in
establishing canning and evaporating
plants in the northwest. There is a
large percentage of the crop that goes
to waste each year because Of the lack
of facilities for converting it into vine
gar, jellies, canned and evaporated
products.
The growers cannot afford to lower
the standard Of their shipments by
sending out slightly defective apples,
but this product must be used in
some manner or serious loss results.
The utilization of this waste not only
benefits the grower but it provides
cheaper food for the consumer.
Il find that the peach crop Of the
Wenatchee and Yakima districts bids
we'll towards coming up to the average,
despite the frosts. The loss will not
be as great as first anticipated. The
strawberries also are looking well, only
slight loss being suffered by the
cold. The prune yield will not be
large in some sections, but growers
who do have a good crop will receive
a fine price"

Frank G. Strout of Wenatchee was
instantly killed last Saturday night
about 1:30 when the automobile in
which he was riding left the road be-
tween Peshastin and Dryden. The car
was driven by Raymond Kaupp, the
son of a prominent physician Of We
natchee. The young men accom-
panied by c. L. Foster, also of We
natchee who was in the car at the
time, came here to attend dance
Saturday evening, and left on the re-
turn trip shortly after midnight.
The place where the accident hap
pened is known as Dead Mans Hill"
on the high road between Peshastin
and Dryden and is the most dangerous
route to take down the valley. There
are many sharp curves in the road, and
it was on one of these that the tragic
mishap occurred.
The car evidently was not travelling
very fast at the time as Kaupp and
Foster who were in the Front seat both
jumped when they saw that the car
was going over the hill. Strout who
was in the back seat did not realize
the danger and stayed with the car
which went over a twenty-five foot en-
bankment. When picked up it was
found that his neck was broken and
death must have resulted instantly.
The body was taken to Wenatchee
where the parents and four brothers
reside.
On the following morning the car,
a Buick was pulled back onto the road
and run into Wenatchee under its own
power. Outside of a broken wind
shield it was damaged very little.

SI.50 Per Year
WaShingtOn'S Butter Production

Increased price Of butter, and not
increased amount produced in the state,
has resulted in the increase in valua-
tion Of the states output for 1918 over
that Of 1912, according to figures COM
piled in the Office OF DR.. H. T. Graves,
head Of the dairying branch Of the state
department Of agriculture. That there
has been less butter produced than pre-
viously is supposed to have been due
partially at least to the increased con-
sumption of milk for drinking pur-
poses. The figures show that in 1912
the state produced 13,078,OOO pounds
OF butter, having a valuation Of S4 e
181, 900, while in 1918 there wer
produced 12,S30,000 pounds with l
valuation of s4,288,0o0.

EXPLOSION IN CANYON
NEARLY RESULTS FATALLY
Party of Four Have Narrow Escape Last
Sunday-A 22 Rifle Bullet Caused
the Trouble

A small red tobacco can was the
cause of much trouble near the mouth
of Tumwater canyon last Sunday af-
ternoon about 4:30. The can was
harmless looking enough, but when
the bullet from % rife pierced it.,
there was something doing. The ex-
plosion was deafening, rocks flew into
the air and for few moments it looked
as though the whole side of the noun
tain was coming down. It happened
thusly. F. M. Gasbar and his son E.
E. with their wives were taking their
Sunday afternoon stroll thru the can
yon. On their way up, being on the
lookout for objects which would serve
as a target for their rife, the elder
Gasbar noticed a small tobacco can
perched on a rock some thirty feet
from the track. He Immediately de-
cided to take a crack at it. But his
Workmanship was poor and after vast
ing two cartridges he gave it up in
disgust. The party continued on their
way up the canyon and on the return
trip about two hours later Mr.. Gasbar' S
son decided that he would take shot
at the can and see if he could do any
better than the "old man. had done.
While at a greater distance from the
can than when they were the first time,
the younger Gasbar's aim was per-
feet, and the first shot did the work.
Rocks the size of a baseball and as
big as a football flew into the air but
fortunately no one was seriously in
jured. Mrs. Gasbar, senior had mar
row escape, one of the flying stones
striking her a glancing blow in the
back, which tore her coat and made a
slight bruise. Otherwise she was un-
injured.
Speaking to an Echo reporter F. M.
Gasbar said the discharge of one Of
the big IA inch guns on battle ship
had nothing on this explosion, when it
came to noise. This statement can be
pretty well coroborated by the fact that
the report attracted the attention of
those at the ball game and it was the
general opinion that it had been
caused by a rock slide in the canyon.
Mr.. Gasbar believes that they were
very lucky in escaping serious injury
and is not souy that he was poor
rife shot in the first instance, as they
were closer TO the can at that time,
and in more open space, and un-
doubtedly some Of the party would
have been killed.
1t is believed that the explosive,
which was either nitro glycerine or dy-
Mantle, was overlooked Ia fall by
some of the contractors who did con-
siderable work in that vicinity. A boy
whom Mr.. Gasbar met shortly after the
accident said that he had noticed the
can and had been tempted 10 take a
shot at it, but changed his mind in or
der to save his carriages. The rock
on which the can sat was blown into a
thousand pieces.

MANUAL TRAINING BOYS
ARE DOING GOOD WORK
Large Force Has Been at Work Past
Week improving the Looks of Front
Street Park

Under the direction OF Prof. w. F.
Bickel, teacher OF manual training in
the public schools. from twenty to
thirty students have been busy the
past few days making much needed
improvement on the Front street park.
The strip of ground lying between the
curb and the park fence has been le-
veled and divided into sections. On
the outer edge next to the pavement
cinder path has been made running
the full length of the park. The in
side strip will be reserved for twelve
benches which have been contributed
by the manual training class. Mr..
Bickel states that the benches have
been completed and nicely vanished
and are an excellent piece Of work.
They will be placed in the park either
to-day or tomorrow. Mr.. Geo. L.
Gardner, manager of the Lamb-Davis
Lumber Co., donated the lumber used
and also the services of a man and
team who hauled the cinders for the
park.
To show their appreciation of the
work done by Mr.. Bickel and his boys,
the citizens are asked to gather near
the bandstand this afternoon about 3
o'clock at which time number of the
hrsiness men will MAKE short talks

LEAVENWORTH wins
AN EXCITING GAME
Big Crowd Sees Home Team WallOp the
Wenatcheeites, 13 to 4-CaSh-
mere Comes Next

Wenatchee never had chance with
the locals Sunday, who came back
strong defeating their friends from
down the valley by score of Is to T.
1t was a great game, there's no de-
nying that especially so il one liked to
see a slugging contest and lots of run:
crossing the plate. To the Wenatchee
enthusiasts who came up about a 1OC
strong expecting to see an easy vic
tory, from all accounts, we can't say
that the game was very interesting
The visitors brought into play theil
whole pitching staff starting out with
Bardin who got his" in the third in
ming and was replaced by Harris who
was also bumped in three innings, and
then came Gill who finished out the
game. Gill did better than either ol
his predecessors and the result might
have been different had he gone into
the box in the first place.
Up to the last half Of the third in
ming neither team had scored and the
prospects looked good for a hard con-
test. In this inning however, the bal
loon went skyward and six Leaven-
worth men crossed the pan. 1t was
also in this frame. that our chubby
little catcher Bill Wunder covered HIM
self with glory by lining out a home
run when the bases were choked. The
hit was the longest made on the home
grounds this year clearing the center
field fence by eight or ten feet. And
then some people will say that Billy
isn't Wonder" Connie Mack"
has his Home run Baker" who is one
of the most feared batsman in the
American league but he has nothing on
US, as we have man who is Wunder
in the North Central League.
After Billy's long drive Harris re-
lieved Bardin but he also failed to
check the locals who added two more
runs in the 5th and in the seventh.
OF the four scores that Wenatchee
piled up. three came in the 5th in
ming and one in the 7th.
One OF the most welcome faces on
the team was that Of Jimmy Miller who
made his first appearance in this game.
James had some trouble with the man.
agement the first OF the season, but its
all settled now and Leavenworth's
chances Of grabbing the pennant have
improved as we know of no man
around the bush that has it on jim
when it comes to playing short.
The box score tells the rest:

CATS POSTPONE MASSACRE.
Seeing Kind Master Meant Slaughter

MILFORD. Del, Jan. 21.-Phe
stage had been set after many months
of gathering. for a big slaughter OF
cats at the home of Even Wright, be-
tween Milford and Harrington, but it
is being set over again, for Wright
reckoned without his cat host and the
massacre he had so patiently planned
for months came nearer claiming him
for its victim than to furnishing him
with the necessary skins for cat
robe.
Wright saw a fine fur blanket last
summer while his threshing and saw
ing outfit was on the lower Delaware
circuit. and from that time on he col
lected cats and housed them in an old
shed at home. Then. one day recent
ly, he Went. in with a revolver and be-
gan shooting up the menagerie. The
cats became panic-stricken at the sec
ond shot and sprang upon and clawed
Wright vigorously, while he shrieked
for help. His wife heard the commo-
ton and ran and opened the shed door
when the cats promptly sprang on
her She. too. was scratched into

Inasmuch as the case has been

GERS will again have TO be called as

action i'm the matter, especially as
Mr.. Hally had entered no formal

contradicted themselves in their re-
port and I'm the testimony they had

Relative To the Fox case. Mr.. Wick
lersham said he believed that in the
future reports of complaints should
be handled i'm a military fashion, and
should be referred to Chief Black for
lanv remarks he might wish TO make
before the complaints come before
the commission. He stated that he
had talked TO Chief of Police Sylves-
ter of Washington. where this sys-
tenn was used, and it worked well at
that place.
CHIEF Black said that lie always
made it q point to interview the mel
against whom the charges are made
before they are brought before the
board, and had done so in this case
but the misunderstanding ns to the
time of the report again came in. OF
