Bangor. Me.-Forty-seven years without closing his eyes, then a period of total blindness, followed by com plete restoration of sight.
 This is the experience of John Ran dOlph Watson of the town of Stand ish. Mir. Watson was a photographer in Indianola. and in 1856 an explosion of chemicals burned away his eyelids. although the sight was not affected.
 But with unprotected eyes he con tinued for nearly half century, three years of the period being spent in Alaska. where the severity of the climate caused cataracts to form on both eyes, resulting in blindness. He went to Philadelphia, where he for merly lived for time, and was at the Hahnemann Hospital. and by grating flesh from his leg he got a new set Of eyelids.
 The success of the operation Is uow assured. The cataracts were re- moved and the sight has been re- stored.

SHIPMENT OF
 C0MOX COAL ISPERMITTED

Governor Thomas Riggs, Jr., of Alaska has received number of tele- grams while in Seattle relative to the purpOrted coal shortage, especially in Southeastern Alaska towns. The i'm pression appears to prevail that the Canadian government has placed an embargo against the shipment of Ca nadian coals to Alaska, and on this theory of the case Alaskans would have good reason to feel alarmed over the situation, especially with the con- ing of winter. But fortunately the Canadian government has placed no embargo on coal to Alaska ports.
 Governor Riggs has been busy in the matter, with good results. Asked about the coal situation by the Dis patch reporter, the governor said, in effect:
 Ut is not possible now to secure Nanaimo or Ladysmith coal for ship ment to Alaska without first securing permission from the government au- thorities at Ottawa. To this extent there is an embargo in effect. But this does not apply to Comox coal, which may be shipped to Alaska with out the governments permission. The reason is that the Nanaimo and Lady smith coals are high grade, and there always is a big demand in Canada for this product The Canadians are nat urally keeping the best for them selves. The Comox coal, while good coal, is not to be compared with the Nanaimo or Ladysmith coal, and there is no opposition to shipment to Alaska or elsewhere. Alaska towns will get coal; they may not get as good qual- ity as heretofore, but there will be no suffering from lack of fuel. ."- Alaska Dispatch.

made an exceedingly good buy. 1t is
estimated the place will return a net
revenue from the apples this year of
over $4,000.
Friends of Mr.. Sparks are rejoicing

MORE THAN HUNDRED
TRACTS CHANGE HANDS
In the Past Eight MOnths-SOme of
Them Two and Three Times, Al
ways at Increased Price

The number of orchards that have
changed hands in the past eight
months, considerably more than a
hundred, some of them several times,
is no doubt due to the fact that there
are unusual profits in apple growing.
Unusually high prices have been paid
for apples this year. The 1918 crop
was sold for very satisfactory prces
but this years prices are consider
ably higher. Whether this year will
be followed by another year of high
prices is doubtful, but since the pres
ent price is capable of considerable
recession without impairing the pros
perity of the industry, buyers do not
seem to be deferred by what may hap
pen in the future. Those who are
buying most freely and paying the
highest price are the men who have
lived longest in the Wenatchee valley
and have gone thru all the vicissitudes
of the apple industry.
Perhaps the one fact that gives
everybody confidence in the industry,
above ali others, is the fact that ev-
cry succeeding year helps to convince
residents of this valley, that whether
the pr4ce goes up or down, a fair
yield may be counted on from year to
year. That the price will fluctuate
as the price of everything else flEc-
tuates, is taken into consideration, but
the practical assurance of a crop ev-
cry year simplifies the investment
problem to an appreciate extent.

due to the invigorating climate in
which we of the Upper Wenatchee

building in Chelan county. Included
in the road building program is a

which is estimated to cost $4,000 a

estry Department over 100000 more
of Federal money will be available,
making in all over a million dollars
which will be spent on county roads in
the next few years.

"That the upper Wenatchee Valley
is experiencing a veritable boom in
the sale of orchard land is the opinion
of those familiar with the fruit in
dustry. Not for many years past
has there been as much activity in
orchard land as there is at present.
The price of apple orchards has soar1d
in the past SIX months until it has al
ready reached dizzy height. Sales
are being made every day at figures
running from $1,000 to $1,000 an acre
and where the orchard is in an I'M
usually fine state of cultivation with
the best varieties, 81 800 has been
paid. There seems to be no letup in
the number of buyers who are now in
the valley and in the past few months
the real estate dealers have reaped a
golden harvest.
The boom in orchard land started
some three months ago when the
American Fruit Growers Syndicate
commenced buying up the choicest
orchard lands in the valley. Their
holdings are now upwards of million
dollars. Since that time the sale of
orchard land has been heavy. The
big investment made by the syndicate,
showing that they had confidence in
the district was responsible to a large
extent for the present boom. Fruit
buyers and produce men are of the
opinion that high prices in the apple
game will prevail for many years,
hence the rush to get an apple or
chard. With good prices for their
crop, such as are being offered this
year no investment offers a better
return than an apple orchard. The
Wenatchee Valley is also being looked
upon as an ideal place for a country
home for the retired business man and
many such sales to parties having
this in mind have been made this
summer.
Among the sales made the past
week in the lower valley We note the
following:
H. C. Taylor to Bohlke Fruit Co., 30
acres; 20 in bearing, price sS22,500.
Ben Kooken has bought the ten acre
bearing orchard at Dryden known rs

Among the many things that con-

Leavenworth is the sheep industry.
In the past few years this section has
become the chief grazing ground of
the state Off sheepmen and during the
summer months there is upwards of
20 bands scattered over the Wenat-
chez National Forest. Most of the
sheep owners make Leavenworth
their trading point and thousands of
dollars are spent here every year for
supplies.

National Forest every year, divided in
about 70 bands, averaging $500 sheep
to a band. For the privilege of al
lowing the sheep to Craze the govern
ment receives about $4,000, one-fourth
of which goes to the several counties
in which the forest lies, and of this
Chelan county receives about two
thirds or 81 1872, which goes into the
county treasury, and is devoted to the
maintenance of public highways in
