.LFAvFNWORTH LOSES
TWO HARD BATTLES
Wenatchee Won Sunday, 3 to 0, and
Cashmere on Monday, 3 to 2
Monitor Coming Sunday

The past week was bad one for the
Leavenworth baseball fans, the locals
losing two straight games, and already
their visions OF pennant winning team
are vanishing. On Sunday the locals
went to Wenatchee where they met
defeat 8 to 0. Smithy, our little south
paw twirler, was a little off his usual
form, due probably more to over work
than anything else, and the Wenatchee-
ties landed on him for eight hits which
brought them three runs. The scor-
ing did not commence until the eighth
inning and one bad error was partly re-
sponsible. Gill pitched an exception
ally good game for Wenatchee holding
our bunch to four hits. Miller was the
star slugger for the locals getting a
single, double and triple. Had
the rest OF the team had on their bat
ting clothes there would have been
nothing 10 it. ...
Monday being Memorial day and all
the local business houses having agreed
to close a game was arranged with
Cashmere to be played on our grounds.
A big bunch Of Cashmere rooters came
up and when the game was called at
3:15 the bleachers were packed and a
good crowd occupied the grandstand.
Mcdowell for Cashmere and VIM. Smith
for the locals were the twirling artists.
In the early part of the game Mcdowell
was hit hard and it looked as though
he was sure going to get his bumps,
a thing that has never happened as yet,
and two runs came in. The third and
fourth were his only bad innings and
from that time he was invincible.
Billy Smith threw good game up
to the seventh inning when he began
to show signs of weakening and he was
replaced by Southpaw Smith. BY this
time, however, the visitors had secured
a lead Of 8 to Q which the locals were
unable to overcome.
The Monitor team will play here
Sunday.

v. N. WATERS OF DRYDEN
DIES VERY SUDDENLY
Was Very Well Known in This City
Dead Three Days Before Found

w. M. Waters, who for the past eight
wears has resided on his orchard tract
at Dryden, was found dead at his home
on Wednesday night. Death it is said
was due to heart failure induced by
chronic illness. He was SO years OF
age.
Mr.. Waters was last seen alive by
F. S. Moorey OF Peshastin who visited
with him Sunday evening. He CON-
planned of not feeling well, but did not
think his condition serious. Monday
and Tuesday his neighbors missed him,
and on Wednesday Leslie Brown oi
Peshastin accompanied by another man
tried the door but found it locked.
On looking in the window they saw
Waters lying motionless on the bed.
Removing the window they crawled in
and found him dead.
Besides widow, Mr.. Waters leaves
a son and daughter residing in Seattle.
The remains are at the Wenatchee un-
dertaking parlors awaiting interment,

TWO DAYS CELEBRATION
JULY FOURTH AND FIFTH
Leavenworth Will Have High Old Time
Ball Game, Shooting Contests, Log
Rolling and Other Sports.

1t has been practically decided that
Leavenworth will have a two days cele-
bration of the nations birthday. The full
plan has not yet been worked out but
enough has been guaranteed to make
it a success. 1t is generally under
stood that, it will be the only celebra-
ton held in the Wenatchee valley.
The gun club expects to put up
prizes that will bring shooters here
from all over the state. Two matched
ball games will be played. Several
amusement companies have already
asked for concessions. There will be
log rolling on the mill pond and per-
haps other acquatic sports. An auto
mobile race may also be arranged.

BUSINESS MEN VISIT
BLEWFTT MINING CAMP
Found Much Activity at This Well Known
Camp-ROad over Mountain
In Fine Shape

Messrs. VIM. Mcintosh, J, A. Hearst,
VIM. Van Brocklin and John McIn-
tosh drove to Blewett Monday last in
Lee Howerton's car, finding this way
of spending their cessation from store
work more to their liking than going
fishing or hanging around town. They
are one in pronouncing the Blewett
road in most excellent condition for
motoring. One improvement Mr..
Mcintosh was impressed with over
conditions when he last passed over
the road was the fact that passing
space has been provided at convenient
intervals.
The party visited most OF the min
ing camps and at the Wright Mining
Co.'s. camp found eight men employed.
This company is working placer
claim by the hydraulic process and has
already had one cleanup and expects
soon to make another. Mr.. Ridgley
who has charge OF the old Washington
Meteor property has driven sixty
foot tunnel tn the hill and struck some
ore that runs about 800 to the ton
in gold, in what is known to mining
men as calcedon.
After inspecting several other old
properties, which are numerous in the
Blewett district the party returned to
Leavenworth highly pleased with the
way the day was spent.

FRUIT GROWERS MEET
IN WfNATCHfF TUESDAY
Settled Inspection Matter, Fruit Grading
and Maximum Cost of Packing
Apples

At a meeting held in Wenatchee
last Tuesday a number of matters ehat
have been vexing the apple grower,
selling agencies and the board Of con-
troll were definitely settled. Among
them Mr.. ]. B. Adams, who was recent
ly elected chairman OF the board Of
control for year mentions the follow
ing;
The inspection OF all apples will be
practically under the control and direc-
ton OF State Fruit Inspector o. T.
Clawson, who has field deputies in
every district to oversee the packing
OF apples and see that all apples are
packed according to an agreed stand
ard. There will be local inspectors at
every shipping point. The cost OF in
spection, one cent per box, will be
charged against the grower. The
packing charge agreed on will be five
cents per box for all apples that run
125 or larger to the box. For all ap-
pies that run over 125 to the box the
charge will be six cents per box. These
are maximum prices, if the grower can
get them packed for less he is privil'
eyed to do so. In the past the pack
ing charge was seven and eight cents
per box. 1t was also decided to use
box that would not exceed in cost nine
cents. Heretofore the cost has been
II cents per box.
By arranging to have the apples in
spected under the direction OF a state
officer rather than local inspector the
double charge is eliminated, as if they
are inspected by local man they are
still liable to inspection by the state
officer, which would mean double
inspection charge.
The meeting was very harmonious
and it is believed that growers and
selling agencies are now nearer to-
gether and better satisfied than ever
before

ROSFNBFRGfR HOME
DESTROYED BY FIRE
Fire Occurred tuesday Eyening-little
Saved-L0ss Over 5000 With
$500 Insurance

One Of the finest country residences
in the Upper Wenatchee Valley was
destroyed by fire rogether with all the
contents Tuesday evening between 9
and 10 o'clock. The Rosenberger
home is in Derby canyon, about five
miles north of Peshastin. Mrs. Rosen-
berger was in Leavenworth at the time
with daughter who has not been well
lately, Her son, H. v. Love, was the
only one at home at the time. He
says he does not know how the fire
originated. When he first discovered
it, between 9 and 10 o'clock the up
per part OF the building was all aflame.
He only saved few unimportant ar
ticles OF household goods. All OF the
furnishings, together with lot OF books
and valuable papers, and large col
lection of stuffed birds and animals
were destroyed. Mr.. Love says some
money was also lost in the fire. The
house was comparatively new and cost
upwards of 5000. On the house and
contents there was $4,000 insurance.

Talk of Building Subway

The matter of building an under
ground subway under the Great North
ern tracks was before the council last
Monday. Some time ago councilman
Woldenburg addressed letter to the
Public Service Commission asking them
what steps would be necessary to Sc
cure such a crossing, ond on Monday
night Mr.. Woldenburg read the reply
to his letter. The commission states
that in most cases of the kind referred
to the expense OF the crossings or sub
ways is borne by the railroad company
and the county. They stated that in
case the city decided to put in the
crossing they would send an engineer
to this city to make an estimate Of the
cost and prepare the plans. Mr.. VOL
denburg is to be commended for the
interest he has taken in the crossing
as it is one of the most needed i'm
provements in the city. The viaduct
at present is not only dangerous but a
continual expense, and in addition is
not centrally located. A movement
to build subway under the tracks
should have the support Of every citi-
zen OF Leavenworth and if possible
should be built this year.

USES OF SUNFLOWfRS
One of the Most Productive and Useful
Farm Crops

According to experiments carried on
at the Washington Agricultural college
the sunflower is we'll addapted to the
soil and climate OF eastern Washington.
Its byproducts equal olive oil, from
which it can scarcely be detected.
The meal after the oil is expressed, to-
gether with the hulls, makes an ex-
cellent COW feed.
Nearly everyone regards the sun
flower only as an ornamental plant.
But it is a plant that has many prac-
tical uses. In Russia the seed is
roasted and used for feed as we use
peanuts. The oil is expressed and
used in place of olive oil, from which
it can not be distinguished. The re-
sulting cake is extensively used as a
stock food.
In this country, particularly in the
Central states, sunfowers have been
grown for a number of years. The
whole plant has been used for ensilage.
The yield is large, sometimes as high
as fourteen tons per acre, and the en-
silage OF good quality, yet the ensilage
is better if the sunhowers are mixed
with corn. The seed is used princi-
pally for bird and stock food, and is
claimed to have medicinal properties.
Sunhowers give large yields Of seed.
In several instances yields OF over 90
bushels per acre have been obtained,
but 40 or so bushels per acre is nearer
the average. A yield Of so bushels
equals about 1900 pounds, as the
seeds weigh about "a pounds per
bushel.
In some foreign countries the seed
Yields about one gallon Of oil per
bushel. This, at the price Of olive oil
would give an enormous return per
acre. About one-half of the total
weight OF the seeed is hull. Analysis
shows that the seed contains 10 per

MERRITT MAN HUNG
HIMSELF LAST SUNDAY
Andrew Anderson is Found Hanging To
Beam In His ShaCk-Third Victim
of Alcoholism In two Months

From Magistrate Graham, who was
called to Merritt station on the Great
Northern Railway, twenty. miles west
of here, Monday morning, the follow
ing facts were learned. Andrew An
derson So years old, born in Sweden,
naturalized citizen OF the United States,
was found hanging to beam in his
shack Sunday afternoon last, about
four o'clock. His shack is located
about half mile from the depot. He
had lived at Merritt for number OF
years and followed the occupation OF
shipping wood from that place, in
which he had built up considerable
trade as his papers showed. He was
known as heavy drinker, and numer-
GUS evidences, such as bills for large
quantities OF liquor, and a gallon jug
that had recently been emptied, con-
firmed testimony given at the inquest.
He was in Leavenworth last Friday and
Saturday and was constantly under the
influence of liquor.
He once owned a homestead in
Idaho, where also he is believed from
evidence to have wife. Anderson
was known as hardworking man who
attended strictly to his own business
and was looked upon as truthful and
honest. Drink was his only failing.
The body was taken in charge by the
Leavenworth Undertaking Co., of this
place.
This is the third death in the past
two months in this vicinity, all due to
Alcoholism. Three weeks ago John
Heavier went the drink route, and
only few weeks previous man en-
ployed in one of the Leavenworth liv-
ery barns went the same way. Will
men ever learn to let old John Barley
corn alone. He gets the best OF every
man that tackles him.

cent protein, 10 per cent carbohy-
drates, and 20.5 per cent fat. Thus
it forms aiconcentratedl stock food as
well as particularly healthful one.
So far sunfowers have not been
grown extensively in Washington, but
number OF farmers are growing them
this year for the first time. The seed
is planted in rows and cultivated much
like corn. The place for sunhowers is
in regions where corn does not do well.
While at present the seed is used for
bird and stock food within few years
there will probably be demand for
the seed for oil production. R. c.

To the People of leavenwOrth Cd

Mrs. F. Rottiers, of this city, has
three children in the war zone Of Bel
GUM. A Belgian-American society,
with headquarters in Chicago. will have
these children brought out to her if
she is able to pay their fare, which
would amount to about $l0O.
While so much is being done all
over this country for the relief OF the
victims of war in Belgium, this poor
mother appeals to the people Of Leav-
enworth for help to raise the required
sum. Those who may feel able and
willing to help may see the under

Score One For the Apple Raiser

Recently when Mr.. Dow, represent
ing one of the big apple distributing
agencies OF Wenatchee, was talking to
the apple growers Of Dryden, at the
conclusion OF his address, he said if
any one had questions to ask he would
try and answer them. A number of
questions had been answered quite
satisfactorily and the meeting was about
to be brought to close when he re-
marked. "Anothet thing, if any of the
apple growers want money advanced
on their apple crop we are in a position
to help them" A long, dry looking
apple grower got up and said, Mr..
Dow, do you mean on last years crop3'
