Apple picking is becoming general
this week and from now on orchard
lists will be kept on the jump, for a;
fast as the earlier varieties are ga
thered the later ones will come on and
require attention. The crop is a good
one and this valley will produce more
boxes this year than ever before in
any season. One reason is that the
trees are aging. 1t is said the crop
is maturing exceptionally early.
B. A. Darling has sold his 12-acrc
ranch in the Cascade orchard district
to Fred W. Rice, a Seattle real estate
dealer, whom we understand will
make it the summer home of his fam
lily and where he may find plenty of
outdoor sport, such as gardening, ber-
rying, etc. Mr.. Darling has taken the
contract to pack out eight or nine
thousand boxes of apples down the
valley and will be around here for
some weeks yet, but has not decided
where he may locate next.
Mr.. and Mrs. E. D. Northlup ar
rived here recently from Bowlin :
Green, Florida, and are visiting Their
son, Charles NorthIup, and family.
They drove through in a 1910 Ford,
coming by way of Chicago. When
they crossed the Rocky Mountains
there was lots of snow in places an |
mud in others and the weather was
so cold that one tourist had had his
auto radiator frozen up. The North
ups are not new to Leavenworth a.
they were among the first settlers
here, coming out by mule team n
1888 and settling on the Chumstick.
Bert Sparrows returned here yes
terday. Since leaving here a year ago
he has been in the Alaskan Engineer
ing Commission, working out of Sew
erd, and has seen a great deal of A
laska, making an ascent to within 500
feet of the top of Mt. Mckinley.
When he left the government railroad
was completed 2S5 miles out of Sew
ard and he says that it will not De
completed farther than 327 miles this
fall. After passing 3O5 mile station
the weather conditions will be bad.
Mr.. Sparrows says that he would not
advise anyone to go to Alaska now as
conditions are bad. Anyone wanting
to learn of conditions there may see
him. He will now spend a couple
weeks up the Icicle on a claim he has
had for several years.
