Making another step by the State
of Washington and the City of Seattle
to put into practical effect what prom
ises to be vast reclamation work un-
der Federal Auspices, j. B. Adams,
field manager for the Northwestern
Fruit Exchange of Seattle has been
appointed by Governor Hart and by
the Seattle Chamber of Commerce
and Commercial Club as delegate to
the Western Land States Reclamation
Conference to be held at Salt Lake
City November 21 and %.
The purpose of this Reclamation
Conference is to get action for nation
al irrigation legislation, to adopt a
policy upon which all the Western
states may unite, and particularly
with reference to the Jones bill, which
would at once provide $250,000,000
from the national treasury for recla-
nation purposes. Ten delegates from
each of the Western States will be
present at the Conference.
]. B. Adams is one of the best fig
ures in the irrigation districts of the
state. In his capacity as field man
ager for the Northwestern Fruit EX-
change of Seattle, which acts as mar
keting distributors for large proper
portion of the Northwest apple crop,

industry, Mr. Adams duties have for
years carried him into every corner
of the irrigation districts of the
Northwest and his efforts in the past
have been responsible for a great
share of the development of this State
as a flood factory" for the world,
which it is today. Mr.. Adams is a
large orchard owner in this state, and
was the first man to demonstrate that
apples could be successfully grown in
the Upper Wenatchee district, and al
so demonstrate that splendid orchards
could be developed on logged off land
in this section. He is at present
Chairman of the Committee of Horti-
culture and Agriculture of the Cham
Der of Commerce, and his other inter-
ests is vice-president of the Leav-
worth State Bank, and president of
the Tumwater Light & Water Com
pany. Referring to his appointment
as delegate to the Western Reclama-
tion Conference Mr.. Adams says:
"The Seattle Chamber of Commerce
and Commercial Club, chose me to
represent the city and voted two hun
dred dollars to defray my expenses.
Then they requested the governor to
appoint me officially as one of the ten
men that the state was entitled to-"

APPLE 19 INCHES
ROUND; WEIGHS
z IL POUNDS
WIN. YUNDT, FIVE MILES EAST
OF CITY, RAISED PRIZE APPLE
OF THE SEASON; SIX INCHES
IN DIAMETER.

w NJ. Yundt, whose apple ranch is
about five miles east of Leavenworth,
produced this season what is believed
to be the largest apple ever grown.
1t is of the Wolf River variety and
measures nineteen inches around, be-
ing slightly over six inches in di-
ameter and weighs two and one-half
pounds. The Okanogan Nursery Com
many desired to secure this extraor-
dinary apple and preserve it, but The
Echo understands that it is the inten-
tion of Mr.. Yundt to have it and some
others of his production displayed by
the Seattle Chamber of Commerce.
Thus again is there added proof that
the Leavenworth district is the great
est apple producing country on earth.

Mang the Heather" was scarcely less
delightful.
Ladders concluding song, peace
ode that found instant favor. reflected
the spirit that Lauder brought TO
America, from the tired heroes OF the
trenches. 1t was a simple plea for the
elimination of thoughts of war in the
coming era Of peace.
Lauder's supporting program. which
consisted of a choice Offering OF
vaudeville specialties, was roundly
applauded. The Three Kitamuras
Brothers, wonder jugglers of human
forms, opened the show. Marguerite
Calvert. the dancing violinist, played
faultlessly, and Bert Melrose, with
his pyramid Of reeling t0bles, delight
ed the first nighters. The Act Beau
tiful." artistic posing by animals, was
a feature, and the Children of Con-
fucius," an Oriental dance and song
number. concluded the supplementary
offering.
The Scottish Highlanders' Band add
ed an appropriate finishing touch 10
the Lauder program.
Beginning tomorrow there will be
daily matlnees at the Belasco for the

KEITH'S.

They carry you from classics to
burlesque at Keith's this week. The
classics are represented by Marion
Morgan's dancers-and they are al
most too good for vaudeville.
The act had the star position
but it isn't the only good thing. F1-
instance, there is Stuart Barnes, who
talks and sings a lot about being
married-so cleverly that the folks
down front didn't want him to leave.
"A. Robins and Partner''-that's the
way they're billed-are back. The
partner looks pretty and plays the ac-
compartments on a hand organ as
Hosco initiates just about every in
strument there is. He wore a trick
coat very similar to AIaddin's lamp.
All he had to do was rub it-an1
straightway there came forth an in
strument on which he played
usually without the instrument
Carmel and Harris presented a
clever little dancing skit called Dan
cling With Cupid" and Harry and
Anna Seymour had a neat bit OF conf
edy song and chatter. Both sing well
and he dances still better.
A bunch OF real soldiers go through
all sorts Of military stun in the clos
ing act. Also they sing. play. and
do a lot OF really clever acrobatics.
After that there is the Pathe
weekly. portraying the actual crossing
OF the Rhine by American troops.

GAYETY.

Old-fashioned burlesque of the type
that was popular twenty years agU
is being provided for Gayety patrons
this week by Billy Watson's Beef
Trust" company.
"Krousemeyer's Alley" which has
served as a vehicle for Watson and
his heavyweight chorus for a num-
ber OF seasons, is just as laughable
as of old and the comedian IS being
accorded 4 great ovation on what
he announces as his farewell tour.
Playing opposite to him is George
f. Barnes, whose antics are con-
vulsing. Beatrice HarIOwc and Kath-
ryn Pearl have good voices and sing
a number OF popular songs pleasing
ly.
Madeline Webb's "Struttcrs' Ball"
song was one OF the features OF the
entertainment. while Sweeney and
Rooney's clog dancing came in for
a good share of applause.
The chorus is composed OF some Of
the heaviest women in burlesque. and
despite this fact they sang and
danced to the evident delight OF yes
terday's large audiences.

WILL STRAIGHTEN
DEAD DMAN'S CURVE

BALTIMORE. Feb. 25.-"Dead Mans
Curve" the scene of scores OF fatal
automobile accidents on the Wash
ington-Baltimore Pike, is TO so.
The contract for Strengthening cut
the most dangerous curve in the State
roads system was let yesterday by ;he
State roads commission to Howard
Firor, a contractor OF this city. Work
will be begun Immediately.
Agitation for the elimination OF the
curve was started more than a year
ago by The Washington Times and
Baltimore newspapers after three ia
tai accidents occurred there in one
day. War conditions and lack Of
funds held the roads commission
powerless until several months ago,
when steps were taken to acquire the
property necessary for Strengthening
out the pike at this point.
Warming signs with skull and cross
bones were put there six months ago,
and since then accidents have been
greatly reduced. The principal dan
ser in the curve was in the fact that
it started gently and suddenly swerv-
ed sharply, making il almost impos
sible to travel at a speed of more
than twenty-five miles an hour and
stay on the road. A "battle-scarred"
telegraph pole gave mute testimony
70 this.
Dead Mans Curve" is two miles
south Of Elkridge. and about eleven
miles south OF this city. When the
work is finished it will give way %
a straight stretch OF road. sIoping
gradually toward Washington.

Harry Lauder. the grand old man
OF the Scottish minstrel stage. came
back to Washington last night after
an absence OF several years.
Patrons Of the Belasco Theater
who crowded the playhouse to the
very doors. to welcome the minstrel
veteran, saw a dual personality. One
minute ii was the Lauder cf old. with
his easy traffic of jest and song. and
the next it was the earnest Scotch
man who had seen the horrors OF war
as perhaps no other entertainer OF
soldiers in the trenches. Lauder has
lost none of his wonderful personality
OF old, but it has been touched by
the grim tragedy of war and he
plainly showed this last night.
InterruptinE his program Of native
songs and characteriZatiOns. Lauder
made an earnest plea for the just
punishment OF those who were re-
spOnsible for the war. There was no
miEtaking the sincerity of the speech
Lauder made and the audience was
with him entirely. He then auc-
toned off autographed pictures OF
himself and souvenirs to swell the
Harry Lauder Relief Fund which is
helping to care for wounded Highland
soldiers.
