COATED APPLES MUST BE
WIPED

A special meeting of the Wenatchee
Valley Traffic Association was held
in Wenatchee this week to consider
the question of apples heavily coated
with spray material being refused by
eastern receivers.
Not only have several cars been re-
fused but the health authorities at
Washington support the action of
distributors in doing so. Most of those
already refused have been from Yak
ina but local shippers have been mott
fled by their representatives in the
east that they will not accept apples
covered too thickly with spray mater
ial. In view of this condition all grow
crs and packers are asked to wipe off

nounced Analysis is being made of

there is any possible danger if eaten

$500 PER YEAR
ENDORSES OLD COINAGE
Would Have Two Cent Piece Re-ls-
sued with ROOsevelt's POr-
trait on Reverse Side

The Women's Roosevelt Memorial
Association, organized to purchase
and restore the birthplace of Theodore
Roosevelt, is agitating the matter of
reissuance of the two-cent coin which
was withdrawn from circulation in
1874. Their purpose is two-fold; to
meet the unusual situation created
by the present grades of prices, and
as further memorial to Roosevelt.
IF the wishes of the association are
carried out the new coin will bear on
it's diverse bas-relief portrait of
the late president as "a we'll deserved
honor to the memory of the late Col
onel Roosevelt, similar in general ef-
feet to the Lincoln penny"
Mrs. John Hayes Hammond, presi-
dent, and other prominent New York
republican women are among the Of
ficers of the association.

MORE ORCHARD SALES

The following orchard sales made in
the vicinity of Cashmere the past
week are taken from the Record of
that city.
A pending orchard sale was closed
Tuesday when E. Mcpherson sold his
Mission creek orchard and home to
George Jersey. The place contains
forty acres about fourteen of which
are set out to the best varieties of ap-
pies and which is in full bearing. The
consideration involved in the transac-
tion was $4,000. Mr. Jersey, who
has already taken possession of his
orchard, comes from Alpine, where he
has been associated with the Nippon
Lumber Company. He is delighted
with our town and valley and the big
red apples and feels he has found
Utopia here among us.
Last Saturday deal was closed by
F. L. Presnell for the purchase of the
B. N. Johnston ten acre orchard tract
on Pioneer avenue at a price reported
to be $4,000. Mr.. Presnell now owns
three ten acre tracts in close prox-
unity to each other-his old home
place, the E. f. Stowell tract pur-
chased last year and the Johnson
place.

MAY VOTE TEACHERS BONUS
Attorney General Renders Opinion On
Increased Pay Questian

AS result of an opinion handed
down by Attorney General L. l..
Thompson to the State Superintendent
of Schools, Mrs. Josephine Preston,
the electors of a school district may
vote an additional levy of 1 per cent
of the assessed valuation of that dis
trict for the purpose of raising funds
with wich to pay bonus to teachers.
If the electors vote for the additional
levy it remains for the directors of
the school to authorize the paying of
the bonuus to the teachers.
A limit of 5000 a year is placed
upon the bonus. The question came
from counties where notifications of
the contracts held by teachers were
called for that the directors might be
allowed to increase the pay of their
teachers

LOCAL WOMAN WANTS DIVORCE

Sensational charges are made in the
petition for divorce filed in the SUI
perior court by Mrs. Grace Gardner,
now residing at Leavenworth, thru
her attorneys, Nelson & Howe.
She charges that about Sept. 30,
her husband, f. w Gardner, an auto
mobile dealer of Yakima, caused their
t7-o children, Helen and Evelyn, aged
six and four, to be surreptiously taken
from the home in Wilbur, Wash,
where they were being kept, and taken
to Yakima.
The plaintiff further charges that
the husband was guilty of gross in
fidelity, while living at their former
home in Cadillac, Mich, his conduct
being such as to utterly ruin the
health and peace of mind of the plain
tiff so that it as impossible to live
with him any longer. She accordingly
came west and located in Chelan coun-
ty, placing the two children in the
home of friends in Wilbur. At that
time the defendant was employed in
a garage in Wilbur.
The plaintiff further states that
they were married at Cadillac, Mich,
in May, 1908 She asks for divorce,
also the custody of the children, ali
mony in the sum of 500 per month
and $500 attorneys fees.
She alleges that her husband has
failed and refused TO support her and
has even advertised that he would not
be responsible for any debts contract
ed by her. He is said to be proprietor
of an automobile business in Yakima.

WILSON RESPONSIBLE FOR
DEFEAT OF LEAGUE SAYS TAFT
Due to Obstinacy in Not Agreeing to
Compromise When He Can Not
Have His Own Way

Expresident Taft says the respon-
sibility for the defeat of the league OF
nations in the United States senate
will rest on President Wilson, accord
ing to Mr.. Smell Smith, Washington
correspondent.
What is his present duty?" Mr.. Taft
asks. 1t is to face the facts as they
are and make the best of them. 1t
is to secure as mild reservations as
he can and in good faith urge acquies-
cence in them by other signatories of
the treaty.
"The president is certain that the
people by great majority are for a
ratification of the treaty. He has sat
isfied himself of this by his trip. But
the majority of the people are re-
ported, even by the correspondents on
the presidents trip, to be for ratifica-
tion with safeguarding reservations,
and this tho they may not have the
form of those reservations clearly in
mind One gets general idea of
public opinion on such a trip as the
presidents; but, as Mr.. Bryan and
others have found, he must be aware
of taking too rosy view of the good
will of an American crowd, anxious
to see and hear leader, especially a
president or presidential candidate.
His opportunities do not enable him
safely to discriminate between public
opinion in favor of unconditional rati-
fication and that for reservations.
eff his present policy is persisted in
and the treaty is rejected, the presi-
dent cannot escape responsibility for
the result. The senate's consent by
two thirds is essential to the making
of the treaty. That body has duty
equal to his and has a right to make
conditions in ratifying. The president
must recognize his duty and his right
He should exercise the influence he
has over the democrats who follow
him to secure the best compromise he
can which will leave a useful league
By leading his supporters away from
cooperation with republican pro-
leaguers he courts rejection. In doing
so he subjects himself to the same
criticism he makes against the bitter
enders,' for supporters of the league
may well saw that in face of great
world need he is sacrificing to his
personal impatience the chance of Sc
curing not all he would have the
league be, but much of inestimable
value. Let us hope the president will
conclude to save the treaty by states
manlike compromise TIE seek rejec-
tion rather than a compromise in or
der to make a winning issue at the
next election is to yield to a political
motive"

GULL APPLE MARKET RECEIVES
BOOST BY NEW RULING

A decided impetus to the Gull apple
market has been given by the recent
ruling of the interstate commerce
commission permitting the shipment
of culls to points outside the state.
II is claimed that the market for culls
is from $500 to $40 higher in the east
than here, even after paying the
freight.
The tremendous demand for apple
cider and other beverages, also for
other apple products, is the cause of
the increasing price of culls in the
east.
The ruling of the interstate coz
mission law prohibiting the. shipping
outside of the state Of Gull apples,
permitting orchardists temporarily
to dispose of their Gull apples wher-
ever there is a market, was announced
bv the state horticultural inspector,
who received notification of the sus-
pension of the shipping clause from
the state division of agriculture.
The only requirement in shipping
culls outside the state is that the shin
per place a $500 bond that the culls
will be used only in the manufacture
of by-products.

LAST SUNDAY AN IDEAL
DAY FOR AIRPLANE FLIGHT
Thirty-Odd Ascensions with Not an
Incident to Marr the Occasion.

The people of this town had theii
first opportunity to see flying ma
chine at close quarters last Sunday
Not only to see the bird machine, but
an opportunity to go up in it, OF
which some thirty-odd took advant-
age, mong them many women.
Promptly on schedule time, II a. ~,
the Curtis biplane with its two occu-
pant aviators, Mr.. F. D. Hoyt and
Lieut.. Clampitt, showed up in the
eastern horizon and headed for the
Emig meadow, north of town. OF
course inspection of the machine by
the large crowd of citizens present
was the first thing on the program.
A brief description is not out of place
here. 1t is a Curtis bi-plane, S. C.
47475; spread of wings DO feet, and
weighs 1910 pounds; it has a useful
capacity of $50 pounds and is capable
of making from so to 55 miles per
hour, which is of course varied by at
mospheric conditions. A more per-
feet day could not be imagined than
was last Sunday for flying. The first
ascension was made at 11.30 and from
that time on until dark passenger
was taken up about every fifteen
minutes without stopping for noon
lunch. The first passenger was John
F. Brooks, returned soldier, who was
followed by Mrs. N. B. Day, L. M.
Burgess, A. B. Coleman, Mrs. J. S.
Judah, after which we lost count of
those who were willing to give SIS
for fifteen minute flight in the air.
While the writer remained he had an
opportunity to see the various stunts
in the air, such as looping the loop
and many others of which he did not
learn the name. Suffice to say all
expressed themselves as fully salts
fled with their experience.
Manager T. M. Gibbons, of Wenat-
chez, owner of the machine, was pres
ent and apparently we'll satisfied with
the flying enthusiasm of the people
of Leavenworth.
Among others whose names have
been mentioned in our hearing as hav-
ing "gone up" are Mrs. D. C. Town,
Mrs. j. c. Ruth, E. G. Wheeler and
F. E. Carlquist.

APPLE SITUATION GOOD;
CARS COMING RAPIDLY
Over $50 Cars Leave the Valley Daily
Shipments to Date Nearly
5000 Carloads

That there has been an organized
and systematic attempt to break the
boxed apple market quotations by
some of the largest wholesale distrib-
utors of fruit in the country is the be-
lief now quite prevalent thruout the
valley. They have failed, however,
and from all reports the prices are
holding firm. A fund of $4,000 has
been raised among the shippers of the
northwest which will be used to adj
vertise the apples thruout the eastern
states.
The movement of the apple crop of
the Wenatchee valley at this time is
very satisfactory. Plenty of refriger-
ator cars are now on hand and they
are arriving in the valley at the rate
of 200 daily. The fruit harvest is
now in full swing and it is expected
that apples will go out at the rate of
$50 cars daily from now on.
To date this season, 1,133 cars of
soft fruit have been forwarded from
the district, and 1850 cars of apples,
total of 2,493 carloads of fruit.
There are still many car loads of late
pears to go out but they will be lost
in the rush of apples.
A report from Car Distributor
Barnes of the U. S. Bureau of Mar
kets, shows that the Great Northern
has on it's lines available for apple
shipments a total of 1900 REFERS.
This is in addition to 600 REFERS de-
signed for potato shipments and 400
for local service. An average of 1875
daily are being turned over to the G..
N, at Minnesota Transfer. This as
sures plenty of cars for the rest of
October, even if not another car comes
onto the Great Northern tracks.

J. c. PENNEY CO., SUFFERS
$4,000 FIRE DAMAGE

A fire of unknown origin broke out
in the rear of the J. C. Penney Co.
store Wednesday evening shortly be-
fore midnight and damaged their
stock of merchandise to the extent of
$4,000. When the alarm was given
the blaze had already burst out the
back windows and was spreading rap
idly. The fire department responded
quickly and extinguished the blaze in
a few minutes.
The fire seems to have started in
the rear of the store but the origin
is unknown. 1t is believed, however
to have been due to the electric
wiring. Mr.. Couchman, the man
ager, did not leave the store that even
ing until ten o'clock and states that
everything was apparently in good
shape when he left. The day before
he had just finished unpacking a big
shipment of merchandise for the fall
trade. A big part of the stock was
destroyed by fire and the remainder
is more or less damaged by smoke and
water. The store will be closed for
several days until an insurance ad-
justment can be made. The approx
mate value of the stock is $25,000.
The damage to the store building,
which is owned by Mr.. Osner, of Sc
attic, will not exceed one thousand
dollars.
