AN APPLE PRINCESS FOR
THE WENATCHEf VALLEY

This paper is inclined to humor the
fiction OF selecting some young lady
from the Wenatchee valley to repre-
sent in her person the apple industry
OF the Wenatchee Valley, famous for,
not only enormous apple production,
but what is really of vastly more i'm
portance, the finest apples grown in
this country. At the great national
apple show to be held in Spokane in
the month OF November, every apple
growing section of the Northwest will
be represented by its best product.
Every section will vie in friendly, yet
strenuous way, with every other apple
growing section in the Northwest to
convince the public that their particu-
lar section is entitled to the distinc-
ton Of producing the best fruit. Each
section, according to the custom, will
be represented in the person of some
attractive and gracious maiden at all
the different functions to be pulled off
during apple week. Who the for
tunate and honored maiden from the
Wenatchee valley is to be will be left
to vote OF the people Of the Wenat-
chez valley, Leavenworth is located
in the upper Wenatchee valley. and
her peorle have long claimed that
The Higher up the Valley you go,
the Bigger and Better the Apples
Crow" and this paper asserts what is
rue OF the apples is equally true of the
girls in the upper valley. Now If our
readers agree with US they will get
busy and nominate some young lady
from this section for the honor OF
Wenatchee Valley Apple Princess.
She will be dined, not wined, but
feted and honored and chaperonned by
the good people Of Spokane, whose
guest she will be during apple week.
All her expenses will be paid, includ
ing railroad fare, and think OF the
honor it will be if young lady from
this section should be so fortunate as
to win the distinction. The selection
will be made by vote and will be con-

the site of the first military base

Snowflake Celebrates
and All Enjoyed 1t

Notwithstanding the war scare
and other events of a similar ma
ture going on in almost every
village, town and city in the
country, Snowflake celebrated
the 4th of July in a satisfac-
tory manner pleasing to all.
Many ranchers from far and
near with their families came in
to spend the day, and there was
a good crowd, considering that
many went to other towns to
celebrate.
The morning program was en-
tertaining and, contrary to the
usual custom, the parade was
pulled off after the morning ex-
cises.
The afternoon was taken up
with track events races of all
kinds, etc. Hebe Willis brought
in his famous old time race
horse, Paddy" from the al
falfa patch, ran him against
Flake Bros. fast stopper, and
won. In the circle pursuit race
Stem Frost received a foot in
jury that kept him from going
to the war with the Reservists.
The day was a perfect one,
the usual high wind slowing
down. and the temperature just
right for the sale of ice cream
and soft drinks, and those hav-
ing these articles on the market
did a good business.
Snowfake'a celebration may
not have been as extensive and
as rich in cash prizes as some
held at other places, but what
there was seemed to please.

THE SPIRIT OF
THEN AND NOW

When the war with Spain was
declared in 1898 thousands of
Young men left their employ
ment and went to the front in
defense of their country. When
the war was over these young
soldiers returned home and in a
majority of cases found their
jobs filled by other people and
themselves out Of employment
and without prospects for the
future. Such was the reward
Of valOr in 1898.
Today thousands of the prin-
cpal business institutions of the
country are announcing that all
members Of the National Guard
who have responded to the presi-
dents call will not only find
their jobs waiting for them on
their return, but will have their
luIl salaries paid to their fami-
lies during their absence. Such
is the spirit of 1916.
A little reflection should con-
vince the most skeptical that

country flows in the veins of the

Candidate for Gov.
ernOr Visits Snowflake

Hon. Geo. A. Olney, demo-
cratic candidate for governor,
accompanied by Hon. w. T.
Webb, prominent democratic
politician of Graham county, paid
Snowflake a visit this morning.
Mr.. Olney is making tour of
the northern counties, being his
first visit to this part of the
state. He seemed highly elated
over his chances of success in
grabbing the nomination, find
ing the people favorable toward
him in every section he has so
far visited. He is a pleasant
appearing gentleman, of rather
small stature, plain and out
spoken, and seemed to make a
good impression with all he met
while here. From all accounts
Mr.. Olney will win out easily
over his opponent, the present
chief executive of Arizona.
