ORIGIN of "UnCIe Sam"

In the war Of 1912 between the
United States and Great Britain, Ebert
Anderson of New York undertook to
furnish the government with large
amount of pork for the American navy.
The meat was inspected by tall, lank
old fellow, who represented the govern
ment, by the name of Samuel Wilson,
but more Familiarity known as Uncle
Sam" On the end OF the barrels con-
tanning the pork was branded the name
of Ebert Anderson, who furnished the
pork. Under his name was placed in
large letters, U. S., then not so well
understood as now for an abbreviated
form for United States. When some

Advertising Our Apples

In letter mailed from New York
City by visitor from the northwest, the
writer says: You might be interested
to know that the Northwestern Fruit
Exchange has an Office in New York
and is advertising their stock under the
name of 'Skookum Apples In all the
subway. elevated and surface cars one
reads signs or placards about Skookum
Apples Pictures Of the apples are
shown in colors with an Indian legend,
an apple day keeps the doctor away
to suggest the physical benefits to be
derived from constantly eating apples.
They are trying to persuade the public
to buy apples by the box, and practi-
cally every fruit and grocery store in
the city have these boxed apples on
display. I suppose they are doing the
same thing turnout the country. At
pure food shows. business shows and
the like, which are very numerous
here, the 'Skookum' brand is on exhibi-
ton. The Northwestern Fruit Ex-
change makes practice Of selling GER
tain kinds OF apples at certain times Of
the year"

$4,000 APPROPRIATED
FOR BLFWETT ROAD
Action Taken by Commissioners Make
Certain the Improvement of
Our Mountain Road

Among other business transacted by
the county commissioners this week
was the setting aside of $4,000 to be
used in improving the Blewett road to
Gle Elum and Roslyn, in Kittitas coun-
ty. The money will come out of the
road and bridge fund. The western
part of the county has always been in
terested in the Improvement of this
highway. Work will begin as early in
the spring as possible. By agreement
with the commissioners Of Kittitas
county, entered into last summer, the
Kittitas side of the mountain will be
improved and this route made as good
as any mountain crossing in the state.

WenatChee Valley Northern TO
Discontinue

An Olympia dispatch of March 3rd
states that petition was filed with the
public service commission today by
the Wenatchee Valley & Northern rail
way company, which operates north
from Leavenworth, asking leave to dis
continue as a common carrier and to
act in the future merely as private
road. Income from freight and pas
sengers was insufficient to warrant con-
tinuing the road in the capacity of
common carrier, the petition says.
1t is understood that negotiations are
under way for the sale Of the road and
the buyer would not sign up unless it
was relieved from the common carrier
class. The commission probably will
grant the petition and cancel tariffs.

G. n. Section Men Get Raise

Beginning the first Of this month the
wages Of section men on all the roads
entering Spokane have been raised
from IS cents per hour to 167a and
171a cents. The Great Northern
raised the wages Of its section men
from IS to 171a. The scarcity Of
labor and increased earnings Of the
roads since business revived are given
out as the reasons on the part Of rail-
roads for the action.
This will affect a large number Of
men in and near Leavenworth, at least
so long as the snow continues to be a
factor in the operation of the road.
The number of section men employed
during the winter in a mountain region
is always larger, and this winter has
been unusually large. In the past two
months as many as two hundred extra
men have been employed in the shovel
gangs between here and Tye.

A SHIP LOAD OF APPLES
FOR ENGLAND THIS FALL
Washington, Oregon, Idaho and CalifOr-
MIA in SCheme-COSt 33 cts. Box
as Against 81 by Rail

An Oregon man is responsible for
the movement to charter a ship to
carry a cargo OF apples from the Pacific
coast direct to England the coming
fall. In the sale of western apples
why should the western apple grower
pay one dollar per box to get them on
the foreign market by rail shipment to
New York when the water route at 33
cents is open to them2 II a refrigera-
tor ship is available why should the ex-
pertinent not be tried out by the wes-
tern grower7
Cooperation Of the fruit men of four
states to charter a ship to take cargo
Of fruit to England this fall is the aim
Of E. L. Goodsell, who is here to lay
his plan before Governor Withycombe.
He has already obtained the endorse
ment of Governor Lister and Governor
Alexander Of Idaho and will put the
suggestion before Governor Johnson, of
California.
Goodsel's plan contemplates the
chartering Of refrigerator ship with a
carrying capacity of 100000 cubic
feet, at a cost which he estimates
would approximate $4,000, the ex-
pense to be pro-rated among the ship
pers. The charges on full cargo of
apples would thus cost from seaboard
to destination about 33 and one-third
cents a box, he believes, as against
one dollar box, the overland freight
rate thru to England last year.

Four-Day Interruption in Mail
Service

Since Monday last thru passenger
and mail service on the Great Northern
was discontinued until today. The
road was not blocked all the time and
freight trains were moved east and west
with slight interruption. But on ac-
count of the immense amount of snow
in the canyon and the severe storm the
first FIVE days in the month the man
agement thought it the safer course to
detour all mail and passenger trains by
way Of the Northern Pacific. Regular
service was resumed this morning on
the G. N. and from now on no serious
trouble is anticipated.
