Mr.. A. o. Lee, an old time friend of
the family of F. l.. Barkee arrived
here Wednesday morning and was a
guest at the Barkee home over night
and left the following day for the
coast where he goes on a prospecting
tour. Mr.. Lee was in the newspaper
business in Cooperstown N. Oak, and

Mr.. Coburn, a Wenatchee apple
buyer and manager of a large fruit
warehouse, was here Tuesday to meet
Seattle parties who got off the train
here. He says the great trouble with
the apple business is to get re-
frigerator cars to ship in. The past
week apples have been shipt in freight
cars, which seem about the only way
to nov apples at this time. He says
at least ten thousand more refrigera-
tor cars are needed to handle the
fruit crop.

week and could not forego the tempta-
ton to give Leavenworth a call. He
is still in the lumber game which he
says is prosperous. There are two
large mills at Bend both running day
and night.

daughter returned from the Hoosier
state last Sunday, where he spent two
month and says they are kicking at
the high cost of living there just as
they are here. There was corrOberat-
ing evidence that John had been on
a trip else we would not make the
statement that he had been absent
from L~eavenworth. Any statement
made by either himself or John Nc
Kinnon must invariably be verified by
corroberating evidence before being
used as news They are not exactly
in a class with Annanias but they
are given to getting off dry "goaks."
Very dry, now that it is impossible to
procure m~oonshine.
Jimmy, the ten year old son of T.
J. Jarvis, was operated on in Wenat-
chez Monday by DR.. WILDLY, who
removed his left eye. Jim, it viii be
remembered, accidentally exploded a
dynamite cap a few months ago with
disastrous results. Several of his fin
gers were mangled and his face badly
SCARED. One eye was injured and
the wound never quite healed
After consulting three specialists,
who were all of the opinion that the
sight was destroyed, it was decided to
remove the eye. The boy has borne
his misfortune very bravely and never
once complained, showing more grit
than some people several times his
age.
