FOR COUNTY Commissioner
On the Democratic Ticket for Third Dis.
triCt-0ld Resident of Chelan County
Heavy Taxpayer

He says In his announcement: At the
earnest solicitation OF many Of my Lake
Chelan friends I decided to submit my
name to the voters Of Chelan county
for the position of commissioner.
Financial benefits did not determine
me in making this announcement, but
I believe my experience will enable
me to make some saving in county ex-
penses, something every taxpayer will
approve OF and appreciate. l have
made a modest success OF my own af-
fairs and will apply the same principles
in public affairs that I practiced in my
own-economy in everything. While
my name appears on the democratic
ticket I have been solicited by neigh
bors without respect to politics. The
Office OF County Commissioner has
nothing to do with politics. 1t only
requires business ability and the will to
avoid extravaganza. I pay consider
able amount OF taxes myself and will
have a personal motive in holding
down the county expenditures. l am
an old soldier and in my youth served
my country in the ranks. I am tenn
perate in all things and never use
liquor for other than medicinal pur-
poses. If elected l pledge that l will

Apple Picking at PeShaStin

Guy Stage, one Of the pioneer apple
growers of the Peshastin valley was
here one day this week and said to q
reporter for this paper that apple pick
ing was well under way and that about
800 cars of apples would probably be
shipped from that point. The apples
he said, would not average as large
this year as in former years, but that
the yield would be larger on account
OF the increased acreage coming into
bearing. Only few cars had been
shipped 50 far but that from now on
they would move regularly. The as
sociation would control the larger por-
tion, some IT'S cars. The opening
price, he said was fairly good, and if it
holds up thru the season will give the
growers satisfactory returns.

Judge Remembered Poindexter Case

During the argument on demurrer
in the Naylor case in the North Yaki-
ma superior court recently, says the
North Yakima Republic, counsel had
frequent occasion to cite the supreme
courts ruling in a case similar to the
Naylor action in which one Of the par
ties to the suit was named Poindexter.
This case applies exactly, your
honor" explained Attorney Frank AL
len, and I would like the court to ac-
quaint itself with the facts before pass
ing on this demurrer"
THE Poindexter case" mused
Judge Kaufman, meditatively. "Oh,
yes, I remember the Poindexter case
perfectly. 1t was tried last Tuesday" "
Whereupon attorneys and spectators

Damage to Apple Crop Not
Serious.

Mr.. J. B. Adams, who was in We
natchee Monday when the wind storm
occurred, says, in the Lower valley the
damage to the apples was so slight as
not TO amount TO anything. In driving
up the valley in the afternoon he says
he made some investigation and found
that the damage is confined to that
portion OF the valley between Peshastin
and Dryden, with some, tho not as
great, damage at Cashmere. The Guy
Stage orchard at the upper end of the
Peshastin district was not damaged at
all. From the Wenatchee river bridge
at Peshastin to Cashmere covers the
damaged area, with the most serious
damage in the vicinity Of Dryden. The
orchards on the north side Of the We
natchee river between Leavenworth
and Peshastin escaped damage. His
own orchard, a mile east OF town,
suffered no damage.

TUESDAYS STORM CAUSES
LOSS TO APPLE GROWERS
Greatest Damage in Vicinity of PeShaS-
tin and DYden-WindfaIIS PraC-
tiCaIIy Worthless

An unusually severe wind storm
swept thru the Wensachee valley Tues
day. In some localities it almost de-
veloped cyclonic proportions, uprooting
fruit trees and great pine trees.
Among the heaviest sufferers in the
Peshastin valley are w. M. Stark,
owner Of large and highly cultivated
orchard. DR.. Saunders is another heavy
loser. The G. S. Merriam orchard was
badly windswept. as was also the or
chard OF J. L. Arbogast. From Pc
shastin to Dryden, distance OF about
four miles, all orchardists suffered more
or less. Near Dryden the storm showed
unusually severe effects. Near the
postoffice a number of orchards were
badly damaged, apple trees being up
rooted. At the Tom Henry ranch
near by, not only orchard trees were
torn up by the roots but some great
pine trees were literally uprooted, The
financial loss cannot be estimated at
this time but will amount to consid-
erable sum.
According to more recent reports
coming in the storm Of Monday was
quite general all over this section.
Parties coming down from Wenatchee
lake report that forest trees were blown
down all along the road. The first
party that came down from the lake
after the storm found the road obstruc-
ted by fallen trees and spent fully six
hours in clearing the trees out of the
way from the lake to Leayenworth.

HEAD OF THE SNOW SHED
CONTRACTING COMPANY HERE
Found Work Well Under Way With Pros
pect of Completing It Before
Winter Sets in.

Mr.. Hoy, Of the St. Paul contracting
firm OF w. ]. Hoy & Co., spent last
Sunday and Monday here inspecting
the progress Of the work going on up
the canyon where approximately a half
million dollars is being spent by the
Great Northern railroad company to pro-
tect its road bed against a recurrence
OF last winters interruption by snow
slides.
He said he found the work we'll un-
der way and hopes it will be completed
before the severe weather sets in. He
was accompanied by Chief Engineer A.
H. Hoagland, Of the Great Northern.
Considering that the work began late
and the difficulties under which the
work had to be done he says he was
pleased with the progress made. The
work has been directly under charge Of
Mr.. w. L. Clement, a member OF the
firm who has spent most of his time
here the past FIVE months. The com
pany has a large contract in Spokane
where the G. N. tracks are being ele-
vated so that all street traffic will pass
under the tracks. Approximately a
million dollars is involved in the Spo-
kane contract.
The Hoy company has all the snow
shed work on the east side OF the Cas-
cades between Leavenworth and the
summit, and for the last few months,
or since the work began, has given
employment to from 200 TO $50 men.
The Office of the company has been
located here and is in charge of Mr..
Shultz. Speaking Of the work which
has to be done under considerable
difficulty Mr.. Clement said tho con-
siderable blasting has been done, and
much OF it heavy blasting, his COM
pany had succeeded in keeping the
track clear and caused only slight in
terruption in the movement Of trains.

Are More Democrats Like This!

why I Quit the Demoratic Party
is the subject Of an address delivered
before the republican convention at
Chandler, Oklahoma, a few days ago,
by Judge R. ]. Sheve, who was a war
a war horse in the democratic party for
more than twenty years He confines
his reasons chiefly to state issues, and
charges his former political associates
with extravaganza, inefficiency, broken
pledges, needless increase in the num-
Der OF Offices, running the state in
debt, wastefulness, etc., all OF which is
true Of national as well as local demo-
cratic administration. And there are
thousands OF other democrats who, for
the same reasons, have quit the party.

Deer and Goat Hunting Oct. |.

Already the deer and goat hunter is
planning to 60 after big game as soon
as the season opens. Getting his
hunting outfit ready. Cleaning up his
shooting irons and laying in his shells
and laying out his hunting outfit. The
first Of October will find the hills full OF
hunters. We are told the hills are full
of mountain goat but so far the num-
Der Of deer seen and reported is not
encouraging, indicating that the deer
hunter will have to 60 far and get few
OF this much coveted game. The
deer and goat season opens Oct ! and
closes Nov. IS.

Some Railroads Want the Eight
Hour Day

The recent railroad legislation is
bringing out some interesting facts and
deductions. One railroad man con-
tends that the men have been given
Gold Brick" II the railroads are
forced to accept the recent bill as the
law they will go by the law and not the
rules that have heretofore formed the
basis of figuring time on railroads. The
companies will contend as the matter
OF wages has been taken out of the
hands of the railroads and made mat
ter of law, it will supersede all the old
rules and regulations between them and
their employees and will be the sole
guide by which future employment
will be regulated. 1t is generally un-
derstood that the whole matter OF wages
under the bill will wait on a supreme
court decision which may hold the
recently passed bill unconstitutional,
in which event no one knows where
we will be at" But in the event the
bill is held sound by the court there
are some interesting questions to be
threshed out. Following is the way
one railroad man reasons the thing out:
For instance, there is nothing in the
law to prevent the railroads from work.
ing their men ten, twelve, even six
teen hours day, providing the pay is
reckoned upon the basic eight-hour
scale; and in that case the runs of the
men will be redistrbuted with the
probable result that some trainmen will
find themselves without work for any
number of hours day.
Moreover, if the eight-hour scale is
to be BASIC, the railroads may con-
tend with no little force that no man
shall be paid anything unless he works
eight hours. or that if he works less
than eight hours he shall be paid for
the time pro rata according 10 the
basic" scale.
There are many trainmen now run
ming on the mileage basis who complete
their days work in less than eight
hours but who receive a full days
wage. Upon the basic" principle
these men could be required to run
the additional time to make up the
eight hours or to have their pay reduced
accordingly.
Legislation without investigation
often results in some very interesting
by-products and it may be that labor
has received a gold brick.

PeShaStin

Robert A. Wright. who has been in
the state institution at Medical Lake
for the past two months, died Saturday
morning. Sept. 23, 1916, at O'Clock.
The cause of death was due to harden
ing OF the arteries, and old age, the
deceased being past 78 years Of age.
R. A. Wright was an old veteran hav-
ing served four years and eight months
as spy during the civil war. At the
close OF the war he was honorably dis
charged. Beside his widow two child
rem are left to mourn his demise. The
daughter, Beatrice, resides in Seattle,
while Fred ]. Wright resides on the
ranch near this place with his mother.
The body was cremated in Spokane
and has been sent to Seattle for burial.
Friends OF the family extend their
sympathy in their hour OF sorrow.
The wind storm Tuesday was bad.
Over half of the apple crop was de-
stroyed. trees that were eight years old
were blown out of the ground. The
growers are at loss just what to do
with the windfall apples, as they are
bruised and not even colored up yet.
The wind Tuesday done more damage
than the hail did last year, as not an
orchard was missed. People who
figured having 5000 boxes have about
1000 GU the trees to pick. The exact
loss will be hard to figure, but it sure
hit everybody alike.

home from Spokane Wednesday. Mr..
Shell made the trip in his new Over
