The Rev. J. Chas. Evans of Odessa.
Wn., arrived here last Friday after
noon and visited friends until Satur-
day afternoon, when he returned home
on No. 4, accompanied by F. A. Sin
clair who went to Spokane and Har-
rington on business.
Mr.. and Mrs. G. B. Woodruff re-
turned here last week from Everett
and packed their household goods to
ship to Everett. We understand that
they had some difficulty in locating
some of their goods. 1t appears that
c. R. Carsons had access to the house
in which the Woodruffs formerly lived
and in which their property was left,
and that various articles had been
loaned or given away by him.
Miss Clara Farrell, sister of T. F.
Farrell, left Friday afternoon on her
return home after a visit of a week
or ten days at the home of her brother
here. Miss Farrell who is a county
school director at her home, Stevens
Point, Wis, was on a tour of the
Northwest, coming out through Can
| ada. She expected to visit points of
interest, including Yellowstone Park,
on her return trip.
The annual rush is again on for the
|. w. Dean melon farm down the Col
umbia river from Wenatchee, near
Rock Island. This place was brought
to the attention of the Upper Wen
atchee Valley last season by B. H.
Bryan and S. A. Potter, who made
weekly pilgramages to the farm to
"fill up" and when it became known
that those two od-fashioned "cham-
pions" could really get their fill and
leave surplus many others made the
trip. The E.ho scribe was down last
Sunday, the lure of the melon patch
being as strong as it was in the days
of our youth when night sometimes
found us wandering long distances in
search of something to satisfy de-
vouring appetite. Mr.. Dean, we I'M
derstand, keeps several ferocious dogs
and an automatic shotgun, so those
who visit his place had better 90 in
the daytime with sufficient change to
make the transaction legitimate and
above board.
On trip Sunday we visited tourist
camps at Cashmere and Wenatchee.
Wenatchee's new camp had a consid-
cradle number in it and the old camp
is crowded, but most of the people in
this one are working people who are
encamped there with their families.
The men go out working and the
women and children not able to go out
to work stay in camp. This nomadic
life seems to appeal to an increasing
number as the years go by. The num-
Der of camps was estimated by one
of the campers at eighty. Some of
the men were employed on the rail-
road work, others in the orchards and
others in town at carpentry and other
jobs. The Cashmere grounds We're
occupied by fair number of tourists
and Sunday evening band of Indians
arrived and camped. They were no
doubt on their way to the mountains
to lay in their fall and winter supply
of fish and to gather buckle berries.
On the roads hundreds of tourist cars
were met and it is evident that large
percentage of them are not stopping
at the campgrounds, for these grounds
1 would not hold them all
