FRUIT GROWERS CONVENTION
IN WENATCHEE TUESDAY.
Object is to Organize Chelan, 0kanOgan,
Douglass and Grant Counties
in One District.

Having learned from bitter exper-
fence that the fruit growers OF the We
natchee valley were playing into the
hands of the dealers thru the rival fruit
agencies and distributors in this valley,
selling apples against each other, each
agency trying to undersell the other in
the effort to unload its stock first, max
ing a goat Of the producer, one might
almost say making bankrupt Of some,
they have been for the past month
working on a plan to organize all the
fruit growers in the four counties above
named in one district. The program
is to perfect the organization next
Tuesday, for which purpose delegates
from each OF the four counties will meet
at Wenatchee. Every apple growing
section in the four counties will send
representatives. Mr.. J. B. Adams, the
largest orchard owner in the Leaven-
worth district, who is one OF the com
mittee of FIVE recently appointed at a
meeting held in Wenatchee to visit the
growers and explain the object of the
big organization, has visited the We
natchee districts, Monitor, Cashmere
and Entiat, and will tonight meet the
growers of Dryden and urge the i'm
portance OF organization as means Of
auesting the destruction Of the apple
industry. He said to a reporter for
this paper that he had found no trouble
in getting the growers he had met to
sign up their crop. He says matters
could not be much worse than
they are now and a big organization
might offer solution Of the trouble.
The growers in this vicinity will meet
this evening in the Office of ]. B.
Adams to nave the plan explained to
them and determine if they will CO.
operate with the other growers in the
valley

TRAIN SERVICE TIED-UP
LAST SUNDAY MORNING
Several Passenger Trains Delayed by
Small Wreck on the Main Line
Followed BY Fire

What might be called a wreck and
which at anyrate tied up the train SER
vice for several hours, occurred last
Sunday morning when Engineer Glau-
ser sideswiped another engine while
backing out onto the main line which
resulted in the tipping over OF the ten
der Of the other engine on the main
line.
Dave Grant was the engineer on the
locomotive that was tipped over and
received a badly sprained leg. The
wrecker was brought into use and nc
sooner had it got the tender back on
the rails again, when the spilled oil
took fire, and a serious blaze was
threatened for a few minutes. The
fire surrounded a pit in which there
was over 400 gallons OF gasoline and
except for the quick work on the part
Of the railroad employees which pre-
vented it from spreading to the inside
there would in all probability have
been a serious fire with several fatali-
ties. Luckily it was put out with but
very little damage.

COLWLLE RESERVATION
OPENING NEXT SUMMER
The Last Great Body of UnOcmpied Land
in the United States to Be
Settled

Mr.. E. A. Woods. who returned last
week from the Okanogsn country,
where he decided to locate, in Pateros,
Just across the Okanogan river from
what is known as the Colville Indian
reservation, says the Okanogan country
is quite prosperous and people gener-
ally up there take a cheerful view oi
the future. He says the reservation,
the largest and most fertile body oi
land left in the United States to be
opened to settlement, will certainly be
thrown open during the coming
summer, and the rush for land is ex-
pected to surpass anything yet seen in
the Northwest. The lands have all
been surveyed. plated, classified and
the Indian allotments made. All that
remains to be done is to determine
whether the land is to be disposed oi
by lot, by drawing or by the Oklahoma
plan, which was get on the land first il
you can.
Just how much land will be open to
settlement we are not advised, but il
runs up into the thousands of acres,
and much of it is very fine agricultural
land. There is also considerable tim
Der land and much that comes under
the head OF mineral. The opening
will take place most likely during the
month of July, but will be definitely
announced within the next sixty OF
ninety days.
The number OF men who have had
their eye on this land opening is large
and the rush to get the prizes will be
second only to the Oklahoma land
opening, when state with hundred
thousand population was born over
night.
The Colville Indian reservation op-
ening will of course not equal the In
dian territory opening but it will be ar
event worth keeping your eye on.

LOCAL HIGH SCHOOL
WINS FROM CASHMERE
Defeats Athletic Team by Score of 81
to 3O-BeSt Game Ever Played
in LeaVenWOrth

There was a basketball game in
Leavenworth last Tuesday night. II
you don't believe that, ask somebody.
Say-ask Cashmere, they may know.
In fact the game was between the
Cashmere Athletic Club and the local
high school team. 1t happened some
thing like this:
Cashmere made thirty points, so did
the High School. The High school
also made four more points. That made
thirty four. We are satisfied. The
Athletic Club is considered one Of the
strongest teams in the state, the Uni
versity team being the only ones to de-
feat them in several years. The game
was whirlwind from start to finish.
The High school took the first tip off
and in the next eight minutes had
their heavy opponents completely be-
wildered by their clever passing and
accurate shooting. The score stood
II to before the veterans could find
out what was really going on. Then
they came too and the crowd was
treated to an exhibition Of real basket
ball that will long be remembered.
Altho the high school seemed to slow
up little in their passing, the desper-
ate Cashmerites were not able to over
come the lead and the first half ended
II to 10.
II was due to the clever defense
work OF Captain Wunder and Hoxsey
that Cashmere was not able 10 tie the
score in the last part of this half They
are great pair of guards. Time and
again they broke up plays and recov-
cred the ball for Leavenworth. The
Athletic Club is known as second
half team and as usual started the game
with rush. To say this half was fast
seems a mild expression. At one time
the score stood six points in favor of
Cashmere. Then the locals got busy
and with a whirlwind burst of speed,
ran the score up to "a to 80. 1t was
a good clean game thruout. Every
man on the floor showed himself a clean
sport and perfect gentleman.
The secret OF the high school team
is their fast team play. Their motto is
Pass the ball." and it works. An
derson is not only dead shot at the
basket but works the floor in great
style. "Tufy' Wunder, the midget
forward outplayed his opponent in
all departments OF the game. McNett
as the pivot man is equally good on
defense and ofense. Fitzpatrick by
his work in the Wenatchee and Quincy
games, showed himself a clever ag-
gressive forward. Coach Osborn says
they are the cleanest and most agree
able lot OF boys he has ever worked
with and he has good cause to be
proud of them.
The members of both teams gath
cred at Mr.. Osborn's home after the
game, and while they consumed the
hot soup provided by Mrs. Osborn
played the game over exactly sixteen
times.

Mayor Woodrow will soon make an
effort to organize fire fighting brigade
for Leavenworth. This is a most laud-
able effort and should have the sup
port Of every property owner in the
town. The need OF organized, intelli-
gently directed work is lamentably well
known. The insurance companies
heartily favor the move. Indeed, if
something OF the kind is not done the
rates will be raised.

New Laws Enacted
 By the Legislature

One by one the bills yitally con corning the business of Alaska were taken up and passed before the Sec ond Legislative Assembly ceased it's labors last Friday. A threatened flibuster to force through the House the revenue bill providing a direct property tax failed to materiaIize, the license bill, which is expected to yield $600,000 in revenue, in the two years until the Third Session, was put on final passage and ratified. The appro- priation bill, carrying items aggregat- ing $160.OOO passed both houses of the Legislature after the hardest kind of a fight. The uniform school bill, which came within an ace of defeat, went through with colors flying and the Driscoll bill providing for the election of an attorney general in 1916 and the House resolution empowering the Governor to appoint legal counsel for the Territory until that time, was passed. The House defeated the poll tax bill and the law on the statute books, providing for the collection of a $4 head tax is still in force. Only a few measures died with the session, among them the Hubbard bill for the organization of trust companies and the Tanner and Shoup fisheries mem morial to Congress.
 The license revenue bill passed Is not unlike that passed by the First Legislature as that sessions revenue measure. The committee lowered the 1913 fish tax schedule from cents on reds and sockeyes, to cents, and levy of l per cent. on the gross in- stead of per cent on the net receipts of electric light companies. laundries, and other business was made. No provision was made for the licensing of the big industries in the Second and Fourth divisions, including dredg- CTS and lighterage companies. The Second division was firmly against the taxation of those industries. The bill as it stands is declared to be stricly legal, and collection of $300,00O in !, taxes that it is expected to produce annually, will not be difficult, 1t is be- lieved. The legal counsel provision will take care of the enforcement of the tax collection.
 The compensation act passel tie legislature and was isgned by the gov ernor early in the evening. The sen ate refused to concur with the house amendment eliminating placer claims and the house receded.
 Uniform system of schools was an other stumbling block delaying ad- journment of the legislature. After many conferences between committees of the house and senate, measure was passed giving the territory a board and superintendent appointed by the governor for four years. when his office becomes elective.
