SEVEN THOUSAND BOX APPLES
FROM TWENTY ACRE ORCHARD
Rome Beauties S1.75 to S1.95 per Box
Winesaps Not Sold But Worth
S2.25 to $3.50

Because of the prosperity that came
to the apple growers in the Wenat-
chez valley we have been making
some inquiry and will, now that the
crop is all housed and most of it mar
keted, print the result obtained from
some of the we'll known orchards in
the valley adjacent to Leavenworth.
The ]. B. Adams twenty-acre or
chard, one mile east of town, is one
of the best orchards in the upper val
ley. 1t consists of Rome Beauties and
Winesaps, about equally divided, and
is in full bearing. Mr.. Wynn Faulk-
ner has had charge of it for the past
seven years and has devoted all of his
time and attention to it. 1t is, of
course, we'll cared for, pruned, sprayed
and thinned according to the most ap-
proved methods of horticulture. This
year the orchard yielded seven thou
sand boxes of apples of the best
grade, about equally divided between
the two varieties. The Rome Beauties
have been sold and shipped at a price
ranging from S1.75 to s1.95 per box
net to Mr.. Adams. The Winesaps are
expected to bring from $2.25 to $3.50
per box net. In round numbers the
profit on his twenty ;.cre orchard will
this year return Mr.. Adams fourteen
thousand dollars. A very snug sum,
you will say. Eut it must not be for
gotten that it cost about ten thousand
dollars to bring the orchard up to the
bearing stage. Then, too, every year
does not show lite so large returns.
The crop may be short next year and
the price lower the following year.
Taken one year with another, tho. ap-
pie growing in the Wenatchee valley
is very satisfactory, else men would
not hold onto their orchards year after
year.

LEAvENwORTH PEOPLE GET
MARRIED

On Tuesday last VIM. Payne and
Mrs. Ernaina Mcclure were united in
marriage by Rev. A. H. Morton, at the
home of Mrs. Mcclure. Both parties
are we'll known here from their long
residence and have host of friends.
The county auditor issued mar
riage license the first of the week to
Mr.. Glen H. Putnam and Miss Frieda
Gartner. Mr.. Putnam and Miss Cart
ner are both former residents of this
town. Mr.. Putnam until short time
ago was employed in the ]. c. Penney

home here with her mother, Mrs. W.
G. Leslie, and was at one time en-
ployed in the Leavenworth postoffice.
She left here about two years ago for
Wenatchee and has since made her
home there. On the voyage upon
which they have embarked the have
the best wishes of host of friends.

A ROOSEVELT INCIDENT WITH
LOCAL FLAVOR

Mr.. o. D. Reeves, cowboy on the
plains of western North Dakota in the
early eighties of the last century, now
ticket agent at the Great Northern
depot, was on his way from Dakotah
to a point in Montana and fell in with
Mr.. Roosevelt, then owner of a cattle
ranch in Montana, and rode three days
with him and two companions. Mr..
Reeves relates this incident as show
ing the remarkable memory of the
man. In 1912, twenty years after his
ranch experience in Montana, where
chance brought him in brief contact
with a young cowboy, when he was
the progressive candidate for presi-
dent and visited the Pacific coast, he
was billed to speak in Everett, where
Mr.. Reeves then resided and was en-
ployed in the auditing department of
the city government. With others he
attended the speaking, and at the
close being in company with some
member of the city government who
offered to introduce him to Mr.. Roose-
velt, and said Mr.. Roosevelt this is"
"Hold on" said Mr.. Roosevelt, and
hesitated for the fraction of a minute,
"that is Otis Reeves, who was my
riding companion on the plains twenty
years ago. Glad to see you again, Mr.
Reeves"
Absorbed as he was with the occa-
sion, and no thot of his cowboy ex-
perience, suddenly confronted with
face he had casually met, with no
special reason for remembering it, yet
with that wonderful memory of his,
he called up the face of aboy, now
grown to be a man, and called his
name.
James G. Blain is said to have had
this faculty of remembering face
and coupling a name to it, Someone
said of Blain that he never forgot
face and the name that belonged to
it, tho he never saw the face or heard
the name but once.

THE WAY OF THE BOOTLFGGFR
STRFWN WITH OFFICIAL THORNS
Had $3.50 Worth Booze in Two Suit
Cases-Handle Broke and OdOr of
LiquOr-That's Enough

Verify the poor bootleg er-poor if
he gets arrested, rich if ne escapes
is made uncomfortable by those in
fernally meddlesome officers who
want to do their duty. Still, the
profit, if he escapes arrest, is enough
to tempt, and sometimes corrupt, a
man that has always passed for good.
The fixed price of pint bottle of
booze is 81. The price is fixed by the
bootleggers' union. Tho a card men,
Der may ask and receive as much more
as the thirst of the customer prompts
him to pay. The bootleggers' union
is about to petition the government
to remove from office every minion
of the law who is not member of the
bootleggers' union.
John Murphy was treated most out
rageously at Cashmere last Friday.
He got off the train with two inno
cent looking and respectable suitcases,
as passengers do every day in the city
with the Persian name. His suitcases
were full. Too full-of booze-.as men
are sometimes, and when he jumped
off the step the handle of one grip
broke, and then some of the booze
broke, as men go who tarry too long
at the wine. The smell of the booze
permeated the circumambient atmos-
phere, and the minion of the law
recognized the smell and arrested
John Murphy. Now John languishes
in durance vile at Wenatchee by the
Columbia river, in default OF $500
bail, with stiff fine and possibly a
further restraint of that lawful liberty
which the constitution guarantees all
men. John Murphy told the officer
that this was his first attempt at
bootlegging and he thought the pres
ident, or whoever is guilty of passing
the law, ought to be impeached. The
bootleggers' union has requested that
hereafter all bootlegging whiskey be
packed in hot water bottles to kivef
accidents. To reimburse themselves
for the increased cost the pint may
be shortened a little. Also they have
sent out notice, sub rosa, that the
price of booze is about to advance to
50 per bottle to cover extra hazards.

U. S. TROOPS IN RUSSIA

The allied nations are not at war
with Russia, yet allied troops are en-
gagged in bitter fighting on Russian
soil, and American soldiers are in the
forefront of the battle. What is the
meaning of this incongruous situa-
ton?
To speak plainly, the allied troops
are fighting an idea, styled Bolshe-
vism, a thing which in practice turns
out to be a tyranny of the mob
masquerading as communistic anarch-
ism. Bolshevism means hunger, dis
ease, constant killing, cruel despotism.
1t is a disease that spreads rapidly,
and because it is infectious, the allied
troops are endeavoring to clean out
the source of Infection.
Bolshevism breaches the overthrow
of social institutions as at present
constituted by force. Since society is
a living, functioning body, it has the
right of selfdefense, of self-preserva-
ton inherent in all life. 1t is perfect
ly justified in defending itself against
attack. Bolshevism not only breaches
attack upon existing social forms, but
actually destroys them. Bolshevik
armies invaded Finland, were elected
and have begun a new invasion for
the purpose of organizing Finland on
a Bolshevik basis. If the Bolsheviks
are justified in thus attacking a neigh
boring country to spread their doc
trines, surely the allies have a right
to attack the Bolsheviks.

PARK-TO.PARK HIGHWAYS

War may have slowed but it has far
from stopped the activities of the va
rious highway associations in prepa-
ration for peace, and the alluring pro-
ject of the park-to-park highway,
meaning the adaptation or building of
series of roads to connect the ma
tional parks of the country, has been
furthered in several sections during
the year past. The work on the Gla-
cier- Yellowstone Bee Line Highway
advanced a great deal, various cities
along the route having helped mater
tally with road repairs. This high
way connects the east entrance to
Glacier National Park with the north
entrance to Yellowstone.
'In order that the tremendous value
of this interpark highway from the
standpoint of publicity may not be
impaired" the forthcoming report of
the director of national parks will say,
at should not be encumbered with a
multitude of side trips and detours to
regions not comparable with the
scenery and recreationla facilities of
the parks and mountains. Only well
improved highways of recognized
scenic or historic Importance directly
tributary to the park-to-park road,
such, for instance, as the Columbia
River Highway, the Denver Mountain
Road System, the Pixies Peak High
way, and the Tahoe Yosemite Loop,
should be included in such side trips.
at is not unlikely that in the de-
velopment of this automobile road be-
tween the parks the federal govern
ment will have to assist in construct
ing certain links of the chain"
Such assistance, for example, is
proposed in Senator Kings bill to sur
vey a road to connect the Mesa Verde
National Park with the Grand Can
yon by way of several national monu-
ments of distinguished interest.

NOTICE TO WATER USERS
For Allowing Water to Run, When
Not for Use, Your Water Will
Be Shut Off

A lot of water users in this town
make a practice of allowing their
water to run all night, to keep it from
freezing, rather than go to the ex-
pense of putting in an underground
shut-off. Others allow it to run thru
carelessness. Close watch will be kept
on all such and any found or reported
as having violated this city water reg
ulation will have their water shut off
peremptorily. This rule will be rig
orously enforced to protect other
water users and to conserve water for
fire fighting purposes.

The Oxford hotel was closed the
past week and the proprietor, Dora
Armstrong, betook herself to new
fields of adventure. That the place
was conducted for immoral purposes
and the sale of liquor is quite gen.
orally believed, and we'll known by
many. The going into effect of the
Bone Dry Law and the change in the
city government on the first of the
year is doubtless responsible for it be-

BASKET BALL GAME TONIGHT
LEAVENWORTH VS.. WENATCHEE
Patriotism of Children Shown in Bond
and w. S. S. Subscriptions.

Friday night, Jan. 9Th, at Sis, the
old rivals, Wenatchee and Leaven-
worth, will again meet in basketball
game that promises to be real one
from all standpoints. The Nenatchee
team will be made up of town and
high school players, in fact the best
team that the little city can produce
in the way of basketball material will
be on hand with the already expressed
determination OF getting even for past
oefeats at the hands of Leavenworth
basket ball tossers.
Coach Osborn says that while he
has only two old timers, Smith and
Ritchie, he has wealth of new ma
terial and promises that Leavenworth
will be noticeably in the game which
ever way it happens to go.
The new material is very evenly
matched and no one has a position
cinched. The forwards showing prom
Use are Motteler, Morton, Burns and
Guest. Featherstone is jumping like
a kangaroo at center and the rivalry
is keen between him and Ritchie when
they meet in the circle. Smith, Holo-
way, Weber, Hylton and Schneider
are all showing up well as guards and
will be able to give the Wenatchee for
wards a busy time.
Leavenworth won her first game on
