The Leavenworth echo. [volume] (Leavenworth, Wash.) 1904-current, 1919-10-24

Some people often refer to H. G.
Bohlke as ga plunger," while others
call him shrewd investor, and say he
is a most conservative and safe t!spe
of business man. His ten years resi-
dence in the Upper Wenatchee Valley
has convinced him that man can not
go wrong in buying orchard land. He
believes this to be the greatest apple
producing district in the world and is
backing his judgment by buying heav-
lily. During the past year he has
bought tract after tract of bearing or
chard land until now he is the largest
individual holder of orchard land in the
entire Wenatchee Valley. He is in
possession of $40 acres of apple or
chard in bearing, from which he will
pick and ship this season more than
100000 boxes, all of which will be
marketed by him through the "Bohlke
Warehouse Company, which he also
owns.
The following taken from the
Cashmere paper will be of interest:
"Ten years ago, South Dakotan,
who had engaged in business in Seat
tie for several years, bought 70 acres
of sage brush in Olalla Canon, four
miles fom Cashmere. There was not
a start at, nor the first sign of i'm
provements on the raw land, but H.
G. Bohlke had been raised on ranch,
which he left at the age of 10, and he
was backing his unforgotten farm
lore when he paid $4,000 for the
property.
Then the South Dakotan who had
taken his first step towards returning
to the soil, started in to work. That
he first took off his coat is plain to
any man who has seen the Olalla Or
chards. And Mr.. Bohlke, according to
the belief of his friends, has never
donned his coat, save at rare inter
walls, since March %, 1910, when he
bought his Olalla property.
The 70 acres are all planted to the
best commercial varieties of apples
Winesap, Staman Winesap, Delicious,
Jonathan, Rome Beauty and Spitzen-
berg. The growth attained by these
trees has caused many a visitor to
raise his eyebrows in frank incredulity
over the statement of their age. Pruned
and cut back, the Is feet of black, vol
canic ash soil of the Olalla Canyon has
produced veritable marvel of fruit
tree growth"
The above clipping taken from the
Cashmere Record is the story of Mr..
Bohlke's first orchard venture. The
Olalla Canon property pictured on this
page, is his home place, and the one
which he prides HIMSELF most in pos
sessing. This orchard he developed
himself and in this connection it may
be said that he has spared neither
time or money to put the place on a
high standard. His reward this year,
however, will be we'll worth the eff
forts expended. His crop will be
we'll over 10000 boxes from the
Ollala property.
Mr.. Bohlke has also erected mod |
ern home on his place. Last year he
came to the conclusion that the springs
which in the past have furnished his
water supply for irrigation purposes
were not giving him enough water so
he installed pumping plant on the
Wenatchee river at a cost of $4,000
and now has Sc inches of water for
the place.
Among the purchases made by Mr.. |

CONTROVERSY FAMED
INTO FRESHER FLAME
G. o. P. OPPOSE INSERTION
OF TAFTS SPEECH.
In Congressional Record in
Which He Condemned the
Knox Resolution.
(By j. Bart Campbell.)


Washington, June al. N. S)-
Republican opposition to insertion In
the congressional record OF former
President William Howard Tafts
condemnation of the Knox resolution
served to fan the league of nations
controversy into fresh flame in the
senate yesterday afternoon.
The remarkable, scene was pre-
scented OF Senator John Sharp Will
liams. democrat, of Mississippi, bat
Ting to have the former republican
presidents latest declaration In sup
port of the proposed entry OF the
United States into the league pub
lished in the official record OF con-
gress with Senator Smoot, old guard
republican, Of Utah. leading the OF
position to its publication in such
form.
Taft's assertion that the "only pos
sible effect of the resolution on the
other side may be to hearten the
Germans in delaying or refusing sig
nature to the peace treaty" was re-
scented by anti-league senators.
Williams threatened to read the
Taft statement himself as means
of getting ii into the congressional
record. whereupon Smoot withdrew
his objection to the unanimous con-
sent necessary to its insertion in that
document.
After the fires of pro-league and
anti-league controversy had died
down somewhat without Senator Knox
making any effort to call up his reso-
luton. Senator Sheppard. democrat.
of Texas. began lengthy discussion
Of the various provisions Of the
league covenant as embodied in the
peace treaty.
