LOWER VALLEY FLOOD
DAMAGE NOT SERIOUS
WenatChee River Fell Two Feet Monday
to Wednesday-Slight Damage
at Some Points

The higher temperature of the past
two weeks has caused food stages in
all the creeks that lead into the We
natchee river between Leavenworth and
Wenatchee. Up to Monday the We
natchee river had risen about ten feet
above the low water stage of February.
From Monday noon to Wednesday
morning, on account of the cool
weather, there was fall of almost two
feet.
Cashmere. on account of its exposed
condition, had some apprehensions Of
damage from the Wenatchee, but now
this is believed to be over unless a
prolonged warm period should follow.
Mission creek did some damage to
orchard lands in the vicinity OF Cash
mere, but this is believed to have
passed the worst danger period and the
loss to orchards is not heavy, tho slight
damage to lands under Mission and
other creeks near Cashmere has already
resulted.
Orchards in the vicinity of Wenatchee
have suffered more from high water
coming out OF the canyons south of
that town, where considerable damage
has resulted. The World Of Tuesday
states that by hard work and the use Of
three thousand bags OF sand and gravel
to confne streams within channels the
loss has been considerably lessened and
the danger period has passed.

INVASION OF MEXICO
BEGAN YESTERDAY
Fifteen thousand Infantry, Cavalry and
Artillery in Command of Gen.
Pershing to Catch Villa

According to the best available in
formation the actual invasion Of Mexican
territory began yesterday. Our govern
nent has given the Mexicans the same
privilege in the United States in the
hunt for Villa. Ever since the policy
of capturing the murderer was decided
on, the day after the Columbus massa-
ere, all the available troops in the coun-
try have been called to the Mexican
border. For the first time in this coun-
try motor trucks will be used to trails
port supplies and forage TO the troops
in the field. Absolute secrecy about
the plans of attack are maintained, tho
it is believed three columns will enter
Mexico from as many different angles,
in the hope of taking Villa fore and aft.
An areo squad has been attached to
the army invading Mexico. American
Consul Williams, stationed at Toreon,
Mexico, says the dispatches Of Wed
nesday, turned his affairs over to the
British vice consul and departed for
home. Perhaps the atmosphere be-
came torrid at Toreon. Perhaps he
lacked sand. The dispatches do not
make clear why he left.
The order has gone out from Wash
ington to add 10000 soldiers to the
army. 1t lacks this number of having
its full complement.

S. P. BETHEL DIED
MONDAY AFTERNOON
Prominent Fruit Grower in Upper VAL
Iey-Came Here in 1899
From Missouri

S. P. Bethel, who died Monday at 2
D. M, was a victim OF cancer. The
disease made its first appearance over a
year ago on his foot. Up to few
months ago he managed to attend to
his affairs. Since last fall the disease
spread rapidly and recently reached his
stomach, which was the immediate
cause Of death.
Mr.. Bethel was born Dec. %, 1861,
and was in his 64th year when he died.
He leaves besides his wife, three chill
dren-Orville. who is with the family,
Mrs. James Miller, residing with her
husband at Bend, Oregon, and Burness,
aged five years.
He owned fruit ranch about mile
east Of town, and was employed to over
see the 35-acre apple orchard owned
by the late Capt. Mcfarland, J. B.
Best and other Everett parties.
Funeral services were conducted at
the home Tuesday and the body taken
to Cashmere in the afternoon for burial.
Among those who accompanied the
body were Charles Fox, J. l. Brownlow,
]. L. Maston, Frank Varo, VIM. Doug
las and Otis Elan, who acted as pail
bearers; Mrs. c. M. Hendricks, sister
OF Mrs. Bethel, Mr.. and Mrs. ]. S.
Smith of Peshastin and Mr.. and Mrs.
D. c. Town.
Mr.. Bethel was converted and joined
the Christian church in Missouri when
about twenty years of age, and for
years was an earnest, working Chris
tian. He was a great sufferer but
bore it all with Christian patience, and
his last days were full of peace.

Addressed the PeshaStin Fruit
Growers

]. B. Adams went to Peshastin last
Saturday and made two hours talk to
the fruit growers of that district. A
large number of growers were present
and took great interest. The Grow
ers' League, of which Mr.. Adams is
the head sold nearly all its members
apples the past year for cash at fairly
satisfactory prices. Since the cash
method of marketing apples has been
under discussion the past two weeks it
developed that this method would be
quite generally followed the coming
year. It was the methods of the
league and the past years experience
that Mr.. Adams told the Peshastin
growers about. 1t was just what they
wanted to hear. So favorably i'm
pressed were they with the leagues's
methods that they sent two delegates
to the meeting of the representatives
of the units that go to make up the or
ganization, which was called to meet at
Wenatchee Tuesday. G. A. Stage
and G. P. Freiberger were the dele
gates. The Peshastin fruit men will
in the future cooperate with the
Growers League.

BOGUS CHECK ARTIST
WORKS HIS GAME HERE
ParOIled From the Monroe RefOrmatOry
Where He Was Sent for the
Same 0ffenSe

An Italian who gave the name Of R.
F. Valentino, passed three or four bo-
gus checks on several Leavenworth
business men last Tuesday and then
skipped out on a night train. He
was sent here by Superintendent Webb
of the Monroe Reformatory, about a
month ago, to work for the big mill
company. In accordance with the
custom OF the reformatory officers the
LID. mill company had in the past
year been frequently importuned to
give employment to parolled prisoners
in the hope of again setting them on
the way of earning an honest living.
Mr.. Gardner some time during the
winter had written the reformatory that
he could give employment to painter.
Valentino was subject TO parole and
claimed to be painter, so they sent
him here, but on account Of the delay
in train service he did not arrive until
after all the painting the company
wanted was done by local painter.
Mr.. Gardner kindly told the fellow he
would try and help him out, but soon
found out he was unreliable and no
painter. He did little work around
town, ran a few bills on the strength Of
painting jobs he claimed to have on
hand. His appearance and actions
were against him and he got little or
no work. Last Tuesday he passed a
$24.50 check on the proprietor of the
Rainier Cafe in payment OF small bill,
taking the change in cash. He also
passed So check on the Club pool
room, and it is said he passed several
other small checks on other parties,
and left on the night train supposedly
for Spokane. Complaint was made
against Valenteno the following day
and the Monroe reformatory notified Of
his tricks. He will in all likelihood be
arrested and returned to this place to
stand charges for obtaining money by
fraudulent means. The Monroe records
show that he was sent to that place for
passing bad checks.

Water on Quincy Lands from Columbia
River

A project backed by Spokane par
ties is now being promoted to water
the Quincy valley arid lands from the
Columbia river by pumping water
from the river. A large pumping
plant is to be installed at or near the
Rock Island rapids. The expense is
estimated at $18,OO0,OOO. A dam
will be built and hydro-electric power
plant will furnish the power to operate
the pumps. This is the same project
that few years ago was to be watered
from Wenatchee lake. The Wenat-
chez lake project has not been entirely
abandoned. Another company has un-
der consideration the building Of the
dam at Lake Wenatchee which pro-
ject not only embraces watering the
Quincy lands but the development Of
electric power for commercial purposes.

dairy and poultry products. That mil
lions will be spent developing the min
eral resources of this reservation is fully
conceded. Most of the great mining
camps of the west are so far remote
from soil products that nearly all the
food supplies have to be shipped in to
the mining centers.
But on this reservation large con-
tribution to mining markets may be
made from adjacent farms, gardens,
orchards and stock ranges. Among all
experienced homeseekers desiring land
the mineral resources of the reservation
will certainly afford a great inducement.
There are other natural mineral pro-
ducts which should lend encourage
ment to the homestead settlement OF
this reservation. Here fine brick and
other clay products may be made; here
are great lime and cement stone and
here is one Of the greatest and best
granite deposits in America.
Even if much of the soil is quite
abrupt and undulating, those disadvan-
tages are more than counterbalanced
by other compensating benefits. Hun
dreds of other encouraging opportuni-
ties could be truthfully offered the
prospective settlers. but our advice is
TO come and see it for yourselves.

IMPORTANT HEALTH NOTICE
Don't Throw Garbage on the Snow

All persons are urged not to throw
garbage on the melting snow, as it will
be several weeks before the refuse can
be cleaned up and hauled away, and
in the mean time the garbage soaked
in water and exposed to the sun will
create an unhealthy and dangerously
unsanitary condition. Burn the gar
bage. Cleanup day will be several
weeks later this season than usual and
every precaution must be taken to pro-
tect the health OF the city under the
adverse circumstances.

bility OF bringing suit for fee OF SIS,
Mr.. Barrows, of Cade & Barows. We

$3.50 on filing papers in the suit and
20 per cent OF amount OF judgement
