Will Market Hail PeCked Fruit

Recommendation that the board oil
control OF the Growers League at its
next regular meeting adopt special
grading rules to govern shipments OF
hail-marked fruit were made last Satur-
day at a meeting OF shippers OF the
Wenatchee valley in conference with
]. B. Adams, president OF the Growers
League. Fully fifteen shippers were
in attendance. The recommendations
were made unanimously.
1t was the consensus Of opinion that
the grower could obtain more money
for his hail-marked fruit if separate
grades were established, and such fruit
kept entirely separate from the standard
grades. extra fancy, fancy and c. and
quality not lowered.
Recommendations that two grades
be adopted were made; hail fancy and
hail c. The hail fancy grade is to have
the same color and size requirements
OF the extra fancy and fancy grades and
shall not contain apples on which hail
marks aggregate more than the size oil
dime. The hail c grade is to have
the same requirements as the c grade,
and shall contain no apples with broken

Boost for the BIewett Pass

If Chelan county is to get its share
of the tourist travel there must be
united effort on the part OF the resi-
dents OF this valley to advertise the
Blewett Pass. And, furthermore, the
road must be improved. In the past
month the Spokesman Review has had
no less than dozen accounts of mo-
torists telling of the troubles they had
in coming over the Blewett road and
urging travellers to take the Vantage
route. In Ellensburg everyone is a
booster for the Vantage route, while in
Gle Elum the Blewett Pass is favored.
Recently number of citizens Of Gle
Elum appeared before the county
commissioners and asked for an appro-
priation to be used on this highway
but they received no satisfaction other
than that the matter would be taken
up at some later date. Chelan county
has already expended several thousand
dollars on the Blewett road and is lay
ing plans to do considerable work on
the highway again next year.
While it is true that there are some
steep grades on this highway it is far
superior at the present time TO the
Vantage road, which, as one tourist
said, reminded him OF crossing the
great American Desert" The Blew
EFT Pass road is much more OF a scenic
route and there is water all along the
way, which is not true Of the other
mountain road. To help advertise the
pass we suggest that automobile par
ties going from this valley to the Coast
carry banners reading, Wenatchee Val
ley via Blewett Pass" This would
help as much as anything to bring the
road to the attention Of touring parties.
Those having friends coming in autos
from the Coast should write and tell
them to be sure and come over the
Blewett Pass.

LAST HALF JULY BUSINESS
BIGGEST EYER ON G. n. RY
So Say Railroad Men-Business Good
and Many New Crews Put to Work

Traffic on the Great Northern has
been improving the past month, say
railroad men, and the last fifteen days
recorded the largest volume OF business
ever done by the road. The traffic
has been growing both east and west
bound. Passenger travel, both to and
from, the great California expositions
has been growing in volume as the
season advanced. Lumber shipments
to the middle states have been increas'
ing as the prospect of large grain
crop came in sight Now that the
crop is assured and the harvesting well
under way, lumber dealers are stocking
up in anticipation of an increased de-
mand as the farmers begin to realize
on the grain crop. General merchan-
disc shipments to the west are increas-
ing as the wave Of prosperity rolls over
the country, but by far the largest
amount of the west bound traffic con-
sists of war supplies, munitions and
clothing, automobiles and trucks,
large cannon and machine guns, in
deed almost every conceivable kind
OF goods and wares destined for the
Russian Pacific port of Vladivostoc and
intended for the Russian government.
Twenty thousand freight cars are being
made in this country for the Russian
government to relieve the freight
blockade on the Trans-Siberian railroad.
II railroad traffic may be taken as a
barometer indicating rising tide in
the business affairs of this country then
we are sure on the high road to pros
perity.

WOMAN SHOOTS SELF
BUT WILL RECOVER
Mrs. Ed Thompson Tires of Life and
Fires Bullet into Her Brain-WaS
Mentally Deranged

Mrs. Ed. Thompson, residing about
one mile down the creek from the
Peshastin saw mill shot herself We'd
nesday morning about ten O'Clock,
the ball entering about two inches in
front and even with the top of the ear
on the right side OF the head and came
out at the cente. on top of the head.
The weapon used was Al caliber
pistol. Her husband, who works for
the mill company found her when he
came home from work about six O. clock.
Drs. Judah and Hoxsey were called
from here but found DR.. McKeown
there. he having been in the neighbor-
hood in attendance on another patient.
DR.. McKeown says he removed fully
a teacup full of the brains in dressing
the wound. The woman seemed
perfectly rational after having lain on
the floor over eight hours. Blood and
brains covered the floor and her hands,
face and body was covered with dried
blood. She talked nationally about the
shooting saying she had done it her
self and that she was tired of living.
She returned Monday last from Med
ical lake sanitarium whittier she was
sent some four months ago suffering
from mental arrangement.
Reports from the woman Yesterday
were to the effect that she was getting
on very we'll and in fair way to re-
cover. She gave birth to child just
before being sent to Medical lake. AS
soon as she recovered she expressed a
desire to see the child but it appears
that her husband refused 70 let her see
it. There appears to have been some
family trouble. We are also told that
Thompson has been married three or
four times previously. All his wives
having either died or disappeared.

Lest you forget. 1t is the custom
Of this paper to print free all notices OF
entertainments where admission to the
public is free. But where an admis-
sion is charged, and the object is to
make money for any purpose whatever,
then it becomes business and notices
Of such entertainments will be charged
for at the regular advertising rates.
Where others give their services free
and admission to the entertainment is
free we will help advertise it without
charge. When the public must pay
an admission then it becomes purely
business affair, whatever its nature, and
advertising it becomes a business
matter.

ALMOST THOUSAND PEOPLE
TURN OUT TO SEE GOVERNOR
Object Of Meeting to Ascertain Facts in
the Carr Pardon Application

Governor Lister arrived here Wed
nesday afternoon at 3:20 and was at
once driven to the Masonic temple,
where the meeting was planned to be
held. He was introduced by Mayor
Woodrow with few remarks. The
crowd was variously estimated at from
six hundred to a thousand. The hall
was crowded. Even standing room
being taken. The wide porches ex-
tending around three sides of the
building were filled and many stood
out in the street. The Goxernor
prefaced his talk OF almost an
hour by reference to the matter that
brought him here at this particular
time and regretted that the occasion
was not more fortunate. He said
that in the matter of pardoning Harry
E Carr he would do just what the peo-
pie OF Leavenworth might expect him
to do, what he thought was right. Be-
fore concluding his remarks he touched
on state finances, public roads, the
workmen's compensation act and the
minimum wage law. He said when
he accepted the duties of governor he
found the general fund nearly hall
million dollars overdrawn, and now
after entering the third year there was
almost one and a half million dollars
in cash on hand. He said he opposed
the twenty million dollars bonding
proposition because at the end o.
the twenty years we would have paid
twenty million dollars in interest and
still owe the original twenty million
dollars. He said we were now spend
ing in round numbers one million dol
lars each year in improving our roads
and could continue to do so for twenty
years and then be out Of debt and sub
mitted that the pay-as-you-go method
was better because we would leave no
debt for posterity, that had nothing to
do with creating the debt, to pay the
bill. He approved of the workmen'
compensation law and the minimum
wage bill. Under the former injured
workmen would receive prompt aid
without the intervention of lawyers
and courts.
At the conclusion of his remarks
the Carr matter came up by Hon.
Fank Reeves, Of Wenatchee, outlining
the grounds on which the pardon was
asked. Mr.. Reeves and Col. Fox
reviewed the case very thoroughly.
A number Of others, Mr.. N. B. Day,
A. G. McKeown, John Sadoski, ]. B.
Ballou, N. Patterson. N. A. Pearson
and Chas. Allen, and the following
ladies: Mrs. Jos. Mitchell, Mrs. G. w.
Sampson, Mrs. J. B. Adams, Mrs. M.
H. Collins, Mrs. ]. S. Judah made
short talks and urged reasons why the
pardon should be granted. From re-
marks made by the Governor at the
close OF the meeting it was surmised
that personal investigation, the uni
versatility Of expression and sympathy
with the petitioner, by upwards of six
hundred people present, made some
impression.

MANY CASH BUYERS
IN WFNATCHEE VALLEY
Men With Money Offer 81 per Box for
our Apples, Orchard Run-GrOw-
ers are Hesitating

Cash buyers are working in the We
natchee valley, says the Wenatchee
World. They are here with gum shoes
and dark lanterns and can only be
found in the tall grass, but they are
here. The quietness OF their opera
tions and the indisposition to seek
publicity is due to the fear that grow
ers will become unreasonable and hold
their fruit for impossible prices if they
get the idea that there is any COM
petition among cash buyers.
Word has gone to the jobbing trade
that by far the larger bulk Of the We
natchee tonnage still remains in the
hands OF growers who are very anxious
to dispose of their holdings for cash,
but will do business with selling organ
izations by September first if cash sales
have not been negotiated by that time.
The trade fully realizes that growers
do not propose to be caught on the
hip with no means of marketing their
fruit effectively as a result of waiting
too long for the cash buyer.
I am finding the Wenatchee grower
pretty sensible this year." said deal
er in private conversation this week.
He is wise on the value OF his fruit
and does not propose to be buncoed,
but appears willing to accept reason
able price and let the other fellow
make penny"
If there ever was a time when we
growers ought to get every cent pos
sible for our fruit and get it at the
earliest possible moment" said one
grower, this is the year. We feel
that we are entitled to good price in
order to make up for past losses, and
in view OF reduced national production
this year. However, we do not wish
to take any chances. We don't want
to kill the goose that lays the golden
egg. If cash buyers at this time will
pay US reasonable price we are going
to do business"
Another type Of grower is represent
ed in a man who is reported to have
said that the only price he will con-
slider is $1.40 per box orchard run.
He has excellent varieties and his fruit
is in first class condition, but there are
no takers at this figure. The prevail
ing idea is that the cash buyer is not
justified to pay more than few cents
above a dollar box, orchard run fol-
the best varieties. 1t is reported that
crops are now being daily sold on these
quotations.
