Carl Andersen Dies in Spokane
Hospital

News was received here Tuesday
morning that Mr.. Andersen passed
away in St. Luke's hospital early Tues
day morning following an operation for
bladder troubles on the day previous.
Mrs. Andersen and her daughter, Mrs.
Elsa Lang, were present when the end
came. For some eight hours after the
operation there appeared to be no ap-
prehenson about his recovery, the op-
Grafton having been thought successful.
He went to Spokane the week previous
in company with Mrs. Andersen and
arranged with DR.. Northrup to perform
the operation on Sept. Goth. Carl An
dresen, Jr., who is in San Francisco
in attendance at the exposition, and
his Younger brother who is here, were
advised OF his death and Carl left for
Spokane Tuesday afternoon.
Few men in Leavenworth were better
known and none more highly esteemed
by all who knew him than Charley
Andersen, as he was familiarly ad
dressed. He was So years old and
had been one Of the trusted employees
of the Lamb-Davis Co., as foreman OF
the retail department, ever since that
company began business here in 1902.
He had been connected with the same
company for years and years during its
activity in Iowa and Minnesota.
Mr.. Andersen served on our city
council and also served two terms as
city treasurer. He is survived by a
widow and three children, Mrs. Basil
Lang and Carl and Max Andersen.
The body was brought back here for
burial, which will take place in the
local cemetery this afternoon. Funeral
services are to be held at 1000 this
morning at the Lutheran church.

The Mills of Justice Have
Been Grinding

Magistrate Graham has been dealing
out justice to offenders against the law
the past ten days.
Last Saturday Game Warden Watson
brought before him Cashmere Estrada,
a descendant OF the Spanish Dons who
formerly resided in Mexico. Estrada
was charged with killing game out Of
season, to-wit, goat, and also for car
rying arms, he being an alien. In each
case he was mulct in the sum OF $50
fine and 50 for costs, which lenient fine
was recommended by Mr.. Watson be-
cause there was no aggiavation in either
case and Estrada did not appear to be
wilful offender. Estrada was sheep
herder for Jackson Smith in the region
of Gaynor, when the law was violated.
For violating the fish laws-in this
instance exploding dynamite in the
waters of Wenatchee river last week
John Inglis and F. L. Danish each
paid $3.50 fine, 80. SO of which was
for costs incurred, last Monday morn
ing. The charges against these men
were also placed by Game Warden Wat
son, with the recommendation that a
minimum fine be assessed, else it might
have been much more. Inglis and
Danish claimed that they were blasting
out rock to lower the intake pipe at the
steel plant just below town. For such
purposes Uncle Sam permits the use Of
dynamite, provided, however, permis-
sion is first had from some competent
authority. In this case the dynamite
was used without getting such author
ity. Mr.. Inglis said they decided to
pay their fines rather than fight the
case, which was probably the cheapest
way out of the difficulty. Fighting
with the U. S. A. is an uphill job.

1916 APPLE CROP TWICE AS
LARGE AS THE 1915 CROP
How to Dispose of Next Years Crop the
Big Problem Confronting Growers

How to market an apple crop in
1916 that is expected to be more than
twice the size Of this years crop is the
most important problem thus far slated
for discussion at the growers confer
ences in connection with the Eighth
National Apple show, to be held at
Spokane November IS to 20.
w. H. Paulhamus, chairman of the
Northwest Fruit Growers Council, un-
der whose auspices the marketing con-
ference will be held, already is arrang-
ing to have addresses by the leading
marketing experts of the northwest.
The growers will discuss the exper-
fences of the 1915 season and will de-
wise ways and means of meeting the
1916 situation so as to produce
profit for the orchard industry.
This is year to study distribution
in the apple Market" states Mr.. Paul
hamus. with all the facts in our
possession we must get together dur
ing the coming winter in a series of
meetings with the shippers and plan
an orderly and thorough campaign that
will place every car of next years ap-
Piles in a market that is prepared to

BLEWETT, OLDEST MINING CAMP
IN WASHINGTON, COMING BACK

shipt to Helena, Mont, and Tacoma.
They even show that some two million
or more dollars of gold value was taken
out, as the old smelter records attest.
Between 1890 and 1902 there was a
reorganization, split up or something
of that sort. Anyway the Badger State
Mining Co. comes onto the scene about
this time and the trouble began. In
1901 or 1902 the mill shut down ard
has not run since. In 1904 or 1905
one C. R. Hesseltne, assisted by Rog-
ers and Harris, organized the Meteor
Mining Co. At least it went up like a
meteor with upwards of 100000 sub
scribed and paid in, according to court
records. Hesseltine seems to have got
ten off with the principal part of the
swag. Afterwards he went to Spokane
and organized some kind of scheme to
catch old ladies with money. Over
this scheme he got into trouble and
also into Jail. He must have worked
the stockholders to beat creation to get
all that money, but there is no evidence
that he worked the mine or machinery.
In some way Mr.. Ridgley and his
friends got possession of the property

Improving the Dairy Herds

Mr.. c. Hove, owner of one of the
finest Hostein dairy herds in central
Washington, unloaded a thorobred reg
istered Holstein bull here last Saturday
which he took up to his ranch at the
head OF Chumstick valley. Mr.. Hove
is strong believer in the possibilities
of dairying in the upper Wenatchee
valley and has a large and rapidly in
creasing herd. He also has one OF the
finest stock ranches in this vicinity.
Mr.. ]. H. Sharpe is another of our
progressive ranchers who has concluded
that combining stock raising with fruit
growing is one way of adding to the
profits of farming. He is building up
a fine dairy herd and last Friday shipt
in fine Holstein bull from Monroe,
Wash. The animal is subject to regis
try, says Mr.. Sharpe.
Mr.. Holcomb, manager OF the cream
cry, told US one day this week that his
cream deliveries are increasing every
week. The price Of cream has ad-
vanced recently and the fact that the
Leavenworth creamery pays the ranch
ers one cent pound above the estab-
lished market price is convincing the
owners of cows that he is disposed to
treat them literally. He also stated
that the report sent out from here to a
Wenatchee paper that he had sold his
ice cream making outfit is wrong. He
only disposed oil a stock of flavoring
extracts.

FRANK STANYER DIED OF
HEART FAILURE MONDAY
Was River Foreman for L.-D.-l. Co. and
Working About the Big Dam

Under the direction of Mr.. w. W..
Wilder the mill company is making
some repairs on their dam and Mr..
Stanyer, at the time he was stricken,
was on a boom log steering the ac-
cumulation OF trash that every year
gathers against the upper side OF the
dam thru one of the gates that had
been opened for the purpose. Mr..
Wilder had been talking with Mr..
Stanyer only a few moments before,
giving him some directions and turned
his attention to something else. when
an exclamation from Stanyer attracted
his attention. Mr.. Wilder says he had
a long prod pole in his hands with
which ne had been pushing the trash
into the opening and saw him going
down as if intending to sit down, but
noticed that as he went down he fell
over to one side, resting on the log
with his head partly in the water. He
Immediately ran for help and as quick
ly as possible removed the body from
the log to dry land. He says Stanyer
was lifeless when they took him off the
log, and that he was lying in such a
position that no water could have en-
tered his lungs, which precludes the
possibility of his having drowned.
From other sources we learn that he
was subject to attacks Of heart failure.
Mr.. Stanyer was in the employ of
the mill company for the past eighteen
months and was regarded as trust
worthy and reliable man. He was As
years old. He leaves a wife and sew
eral children. Burial took place in the
Leavenworth cemetery Wednesday.

Seattle the first of next week.
Mr.. M. o. Nelson, from Wenatchee,
is now in charge at the market, with
R. T. Runyan, from Tacoma, as helper.
Mr.. Runyan says his wife will shortly
be here to make her home.

INCREASE PRODUCTIVE
AREA IN UPPER VALLEY
New Irrigation Law Passed by the Last
Legislature Makes This
Possible

A great many districts within the
state Of Washington appear to be taking
considerable interest in the new law
relating to organization of irrigation dis
tricts.
The recent acts of the Legislature
have authorized the formation Of irriga-
,tion districts to manage and control the
water in each district and deliver the
same in accordance with the rights Of
the various parties, and the district will
be controlled in about the same man
ner as school districts are controlled.
Several large districts have been Or
ganized in the state during the past
year, among them the Okanogan irriga-
ton district and the Wenatchee irriga-
ton district, to adjust the difficulties
with the High Line Canal Co., and it
now appears that Peshastin is following
in the footsteps OF the other districts.
Some time ago the owners OF land in
the Chumstck and Eagle creek valleys
discussed the question of securing more
water for irrigation from Mad river, but
on account of the expense and lack Of
organization the matter was dropped.
1t might be possible, however, that
they could avail themselves of this law
for the organization of an irrigation dis
trict and secure additional water for the
irrigation of their lands. 1t has been
estimated that some 1000 or 1900
acres OF additional land could be made
productive in these two valleys. The
present. supply of water in Chumstick
creek has already been appropriated.
