DENIES BURGLARY
TOOLS WERE HIS.
George Terrell on Trial for Alleged
Attempt to Rob HilIyard Bank.

That he was investigating to see
what two men were doing at the First
National bank of Hillyard when he
was arrested was the defense offered
by George Terrell, well-known in
Leavenworth, who was being tried
Monday before Judge Huneke on a
charge of attempting to rob the bank.
Night Watchman Michael O'Brien
testified that when he went to inves-
tigate he found Terrell working with
his head in hole in an attempt to
enter the vault He declared that he
told Terrell to come out or he would
shoot. Terrell begged for his release.
Terrell testified that when he was
passing the bank and saw two men
running away with box he took his
iashlight to look around in the base
ment
''Did you not make proposition to
O'Brien to let you go?" asked Deputy
Prosecutor Ennis. "Why did you not
think of this and tell it to the officers
when they were investigating
81 told O'Brien, but he said, Tell
that to the judge in the morning. -
answered Terrell.
Terrell denied that he owned the
crowbar and burglar tools found in
the bank basement. Jailer Doust tes-
titled that Terrell admitted he owned
the coat which was found on a shelf
in the bank
The case is attracting a number of
young women from Hillyard, inclul-
ing the young wife of the prisoner.

DYNAMITE FOUND
IN GRAIN STACK
NEAR W|THR0W
THRESHING CREW HAD MAR.
ROW ESCAPE-NO CLUE TO
PERPETRATORS OF DEED OR
IT'S CAUSE.

Withrow Banner: Dynamite discov-
cred in stack of garin on the Louie
Angst ranch about nine miles north
west of Withrow at 10 o'clock today
has caused considerable excitement in
this part of Douglas county. 1t was
discovered just in time to prevent its
going into the separator There was
enough to blow the entire outfit of
machinery and men into kingdom
ccme if it had reached the cylinder.
Clay Boards threshing outfit was at
work and nearing the finish of the
setting when the dangerous pack
age was discovered. The forkers dis
covered a paper wrapped parcel in
fcrkload of grain aS it dropped to the
derrick table. He called the atten-
ton of the hoe-down, who threw out
the package just in time to prevent
ii from going into the machine On
examination it was found to contain
four sticks of dynamite and a guam
tity of fuse, tied in a paper bag. There
was no mark to indicate where the en-
plosive had been procured From it's
position in the stacl, it had evidently
been placed there after the stack was
built
Mr.. Angst state; that he has had no
dynamite on the place for seven or
eight years, and there appears to be
possibility that it could have gotten
into the stack by accident That it
was placed there purposely seems be-
yond question. But why? No one is
able to assign a reason or recall an
incident that might furnish a clew
Neither Mr.. Angst nor Mr.. Beard
knows of any possible enemy who
might resort to such a method of ven
geance for real or fancied wrong.
After the discovery of the dyna-
mite the threshing crew refused to
finish the setting, fearing that there
might be more of the explosive in the
grain.
Sheriff Davis was called and has be-
gun an investigation, though there is
but little evidence to indicate who the
guilty party may be.

COMBINE OFFICES OF HEALTH
NURSE AND PHYSICIAN.

World: Important changes are
contemplated by the county commits
sloners in the matter of caring for
the sick and dependents in Chelan
county. Some time ago the county
farm near Peshastin was ordered
sold, and in its place the commission
ers plan to purchase site nearer
Wenatchee where cottages can be
built for the treatment of the sick as
we'll as the poor This will make il
unnecessary to send county patients
away at heavy expense. Exactly
the same treatment can be given
them here with more favorable eli
matte conditions than are found on
the Coast
On Friday the commissioners adop-
ted a motion consolidating the offices
OF the county physician and county
rurse. Since the work of these two
offices is closely related it was deem
ed eXpedient to have them occupy ad-
joining offices so that better co-ordi-
nation can be secured This change
il to take effect Jan. I, 1922, wheh
other methods in dealing with the
county health may also be introduced.

6.-Emptying bags or buckets. In
emptying bags or buckets place them
down into the box so they touch
slightly the bottom of the box. Re-
lease fasteners and lift the bag or
bucket carefully.
7.-Filling and stacking boxes.
Fill all boxes nicely level full and
carefully level off the tops. Never
stack boxes over three high and stack
straight with no weight of upper box
upon lower apples.
S.-Windfall or fallen apples posi-
lively must be kept separate from the
good apple. Put them in separate
boxes and set against the base of the
tree.
9.-Trees must be picked clean of
ali apples ready to pick and no break
ing of branches or shaking of apples
will be permitted.
10.-Since it is money received for
good apples that pays the wage bill
it is up to all of us to save the apples.

Is promised as result of the first
days deliberations by the Chclan
county commissioners on the budget
for 1922. a saving is indicated in al
most every department of the coun-
tvs government, without impairing
the efficiency Of the administration of

true with practically every one of the
county's departments.
An item of $4,000 or two mills for
the court house building fund is in
cluded in the levy. However, the
&C mmissioners state that unless the
state reduces its levy, by at least one

PICKING RULES.

Rough handling and bruising Of
APPLES destroys them. Only careful
work will be permitted in this or
chard.
2.-Picking. In picking grasp the
apple firmly with the inner surface of
the whole hand and twist the apple
slightly. Do not grasp the apple with
the tips of the fingers and jerk it.
This bruises the apple and pulls
stems. No stem pulled apples will be
tolerated Breaking of fruit must be
avoided.
3.-In placing the apple into the
picking bag or bucket place the hand
well down into the container before
releasing the apple. Do not drop
them.
Pick all lower apples ready to
pick first and pick the tops after
ward Top picking first destroys low
e. apples by bruising with falling APP
pies.
5.-Ayoid humping of apples OF
shaking of branches when placing
ladders. Do not permit props to fall
into the tree striking and hruisinp
apples.

HUCKLEBERRIES.

People may sometimes be puzzled
and wonder at the great difference in
price in huckleberries and other ber-
ries. The big, luscious strawberry
has been selling and begging the mar
ket at around two dollars per crate

have been offered through our col
umns at $1.50 per gallon The straw

Mountains we are sometimes told.
Then why shouldn't the huckleberlies
be cheapest? The answer is, ego up
into the mountains and get a few gal
Ions and then you will know"
This answer may not be so readily
understood by the lightweights who
are accustomed to mountain climbing
as it is by people in the heavyweight
class. The writer qualities in the
heavyweight class, er, that is physi-

is no "profteering" in huckleberrv-
ing. If he were to furnish the buckle
berries and receive remuneration in
accordance with the effort recent,
put forth to gain . quart, no one but
the Rockefellers and other multimil-
licraires could afford huckleberry pie.
To make this palmer imagine an
ordinary dub weighing 22O blithly
starting out to 90 to the top of a
mountain rising 2000 feet above the
campsite. Then imagine another or
dinary dub weighing 100; put 60
pounds on his back and start him up
The odds are altogether in favor Of
the l60-lb. fellow with the 6O-lb. bur
nen for he is undoubtedly in good
physical condition while the fat man
is not or he would not be so fat.
And picking huckleberries one at a

PACKING.

Pack all necessary sizes and do not
get three distinct sizes in box. Va
riations are tolerated but different
sizes spoil the pack and cause bruis
ing in lidding. Always use the prop
ell size paper.
Filling the BoX.--Fill the box full
and have slight bulge and make sure
the ends are well filled but not high
and the corners up properly.
Placing Apples in the Box.-Place
the apples in the box firmly and down
ward, resting it properly in the space
where it belongs. Do not slam the
apple into the box against an apple
OF the same tier and flag in the paper.
Wrong Size Apples.-If an apple of
the wrong size or grade is picked up.
place 1t back gently where it belongs.
Do not throw it back and do not pack
it in the wrong place.
Clawing Down Apples.-If the ap-
piles fail to roll forward have the bins
fixed, do not claw the apples down
and make stem punctures. Do not
claw over the apples and mix them
up to get other sizes. Pack what are
handy in the box where they belong.
Care of Paper.-Permit absolutely
no paper to accumulate on the floor
and become soiled. Keep it all picked
up.
Showing Down Bulge.-Pack the
box properly with the proper bulge.
Do not get the ends of the pack so
high that they must be showed down
roughly to prevent too much bulge.
Stacking BoXes.-Use extreme care
in stacking packed boxes before lid
ding. They should never be stacked
if possible to avoid.

New Items Added.

There were items such as Election,
Relief of Soldiers, Mothers Pensions
and some others which were not on
last years budget, amounting t.
something like S1S,0000O,
1t was the earnest desire of the
commissioners to reduce taxation and
the question of cutting down the road
levies was taken up first. After care
fully going over the needs of the
roads in Chelan county for the com
ing year, the Commissioners agree
to cut the levy as follows:
General Road and Bridge Fund 20
3l2 mills, from Az mills last year
Road District /, , and 3, to s mills
each, from 10 mills last year.
Straight ) Per Cent Cut.
A further discussion followed AMI
various estimates were gone into
carefully in order to make a further
saving. Finally it was decided that a
five per cent cut be made on all the
budgets and a motion carried to that
effect. 1t was found that this amount
was greater than necessary and the
surplus was added to Damage anil
Claims. After comparing the net re-
suits, the Commissioner had made 4

SORTING WITHOUT RRJrISES

ggeStlon.-Sortlng Is the most
particular, most trying and most diff
ficult job in preparing apples for the

Ihird.-Strict attention to work.
Fourth.-Proper light and equip
ment.
3.-Handling Apples. Sorters
should wear woody canvas gloves.
Apples should be carefully picked up
and placed into proper places without
throwing, dropping or rolling Shov-
ine apples down into bins. clawing
down apples to packers and tossing

dump their own apples or persons
dumping apples for sorters should
use a cover to draw over the top of
tho box before dumping and should
dump the apples with great care.
5.-Cleanliness. Sorting bins should
be kept clean of leaves or dirt and
rubbish. Apples should be picked up
from floor when accidentally dropped.
