Mr.. ]. B. Adams returned Saturday
night alter spending the last two days
in the week among the fruitgrowers oi
the Okanogan country. In company
with Mr.. Paulhamus every important
fruitgrowing center in the upper coun-
try was visited. Mr.. Adams says
everywhere the fruitraisers were dis
posed to act in entire harmony with
the big organization. The better they
understand what the purpose and in
tention of the board OF control is to be
the more heartily do they join the
movement. Mr.. Adams open and
above board plan of dealing with the
situation seems to have met with the
same approval in the upper country
that marked his entry into the spot
light here.

VAN EPPS TO DEVELOP
YANEO MINING CLAIMS
Sending Out Crew and Supplies for Ex-
tenSiye Operations Expects Big
Results This Summer

AL Van Epps, one of the oldest min
ing men in this section, who spent
the winter in Seattle, arrived here the
first of the week and is now making
preparations to start work on his min
eral properties. He sent out man
Wednesday in charge OF seven pack
horses loaded with provisions, and says
he expects to be busy for several weeks
yet packing in supplies. Inside Of the
next month he intends to put from
eight to ten men at work and it is not
unlikely that the size of the crew may
be increased before the season is over.
Mr.. Van Epps is the locator and
largest stockholder in the Vance min
ing claims, said by experts to be the
most valuable in this section OF the
state. They are situated on the head
of Jack creek, tributary of the Icicle,
about 25 miles southwest OF Leaven-
worth, and have produced specimens
that assayed rich values in gold, silver
and copper, with the former mineral
predominating. These claims were
staked % years ago and since that time
more than 10000 feet of tunnels have
been opened. Mr.. Van Epps believes
in the future OF his mine and has put
in machinery and other equipment that
would be a surprise to anyone visiting
his camp, for they would wonder how
on earth he ever got such things over
a mountain trail. He did it, however,
and with no means Of transportation ex-
cept pack-horses. Mr.. Van Epps is
not loquacious about his plans. but he
did tell an Echo reporter that he might
have some very good news for publica-
ton later on in the year.

 Monsieur Decari has acquired a most gracious knack of correcting their error and putting them at their ease.
 When the president makes an of hcial visit to some public institution or inaugurates an exposition or something of that sort, he generally goes in a motor car with General Duparge. His civilian secretary, Monsieur Decori, follows with . an- other military attache of the Elysee, in another car.
