SHIP CHERRIES BY AUTO
TRUCK OVER BLEWETT

World: While the state authorities,
the Interstate Commerce Commission,
the Great Northern Railway and the
new Wenatchee Southern are devoting
their energies to the discussion and
investigation of building a new rail-
road down the Columbia, new trans
portation system has been established
between the Wenatchee and Yakima
Valleys for the shipment of fruit
The Wells & Vale Fruit Co. has
sold several carloads Of Royal Ann
Cherries to Libby, Mcneil & Libby,
which firm operates a cannery at
Yakima. A firm of motor truck op-
orators were given the contract to
haul the cherries from Wenatchee
over Blewett Pass to the Yakima Can
merry and they have been taking from
two to three truck loads out of Wen
atchee daily, averaging about SIX tons
to the load.
The total cost of carrying the cher
ries by this method is said to be very
much less than the freight rate from
Wenatchee to Yakima by rail and the
fruit has been arriving in fine shape
About 100 tons have been shipped in
this manner and there are still sew
eral loads to be taken over the pass.

A shed has also been built along
the west wall of the hatchery to
house the tanks to which the fry is
removed when large enough to be

OPENING 50 STORES.
That Number of Stores are Being Ad.
ded to the J. c. Penney Co. Chain.

The j. c. Penney Company. who
have operated very successful store
here for number of years, are open
ing fifty-nine new stores throughout
the country. When this has been ac-
complished, the Nationwide organi-
cation will then have 81 stores in all.
The present expansion policy of the
company contemplates still more
stores next year.
The growth Of the company has
been remarkable. The first store was
opened twenty years ago, 1902, doing
business of S2S,898.11. Last year,
1921, it had 312 stores and the gross
volume sales amounted to S46,641,- =

PASSED
WORTHLESS
CHECKS

A fellow, signing the name James
r. Cleave, made out two checks here
last Friday and passed them, one at
Ahlin's confectionery and one at
Yama's restaurant. They We're writ
ten on counter checks Of the Leaven-
worth State Bank and there were no
funds to his credit. One check was
for one dollar and the other for two,
so the loss to the places cashing them
was small.
1t is probable that he got out of
town as soon as possible after max
ing the checks, for he has not been
seen since.

G. N. ICE
HOUSE BURNED
FRIDAY P. M.

The icehouse near the depot took
/ fire Friday afternoon shortly after 5
o'clock and is practically a total loss.
/ A switch engine had passed the ice
house shortly before the fire was first
seen and it is presumed that a cinder
lodged on the roof and was famed in
to flame by the high wind which was
blowing at intervals, for when first
see it was confined to a small blaze
on the roof at the westerly end. The
alarm was sounded but before water
was at hand the whole building was
in flames and a couple coaches which
were parked alongside the building
were also on fire. The coaches of the
"dinkey" had also been shrunted in on
this track and when a switch engine
coupled onto them the four coaches
were pulled out and the the flames
eXtinguished without much damage
having been done.
When the fire was raging at its
highest the wind was coming from
the Northwest and the Leavenworth
State Bank, the Roach building, oc-
cupied by Tommy Nolan, tailor, and
Frank Null, barber, the Club Pool, the
Barclay buildings and the X. & V. B.
Hardware were all in great danger
The Sampson building occupied by
Theo. Paine's garage and the postof-
fee, and the building occupied by the
Echo and the creamery, and the De-
Blois residence were also in line.
Flaming shingles and cinders We're
carried up and began to drop and the
''bucket brigade had to get busy The
fire department was soon on the job
and in a very few minutes not only
had streams playing on the ice house,
but were atop the Club Pool and had
stream wetting down the roofs of
all nearby buildings and the danger
was over.
The firemen experienced some diff
Guilty in getting the engine Of the
truck started, but just in the nick of
time Jimmy Thompson backed his lit
tie old Ford up to the fire house,
hawser was heaved aboard, the Ford
kicked up a dust like a photo-play
comedian getting started, and then
away it went to the fire. Harry Mas
ton, who has developed a great mus
cular system hosting Ford products,
was one of the first to arrive on the
scene and attempt to get the fire
truck "cranked up" but this was a
job that required a different set Of
muscles than Harry has been develop
ing and it is our candid opinion that
our city fathers ought to provide
some simple device, like a Ford, for
instance, as fire truck, so that
neither expert knowledge of machin-
cry nor auxiliary power is required
in order to get it to fire.
Fortunately this fire was handled
and the damage confined to the ice
house, coaches and electric wires, eX-
cepting that the plate glass windows
of the bank were cracked. This dam
age is covered by insurance. At an
other time we may not be so lucky
and we hope that further trouble in
getting the truck engine started will
be guarded against by those in
charge.
The rails on which the coaches
stood alongside the ice house were
heated and sprung and they and some
of the ties had to be replaced Near
by trees in the park were singed and
the lawn grass dried up and was
burned away. Several electric wires
with insulation upon them) were
burned off.

TO be at fault, but that later the dis
covery was made that the screen YVES

SHORT CROP AT COULEE CITY.

Coulee City Dispatch: Monday was
the warmest day that has been seen in
this section Of the country for a good
many years. The wind blew from the
south, and it was no exaggeration to
say that it was ''hot wind" Local
thermometers recorded above 100,
while the government thermometer at
Spokane recorded 101, and street ther-
mometers went up to 112 or 115. 1t
was one of the worst days ever known
in this country, and coming after two
months or more of drought, undoubt-
edly did great deal of damage to the
wheat crop all through eastern Wash
ington. Tuesday was not quite so
warm, and Wednesday we got a north
wind and the first, or at least the
worst, dust storm of the year. The
splendid prospects for crop are gone
and the question now with most of
the farmers is to get enough for feed
through the winter and seed for an
other trial next year. Some of the
farmers will have considerable wheat
but nothing like a crop, and with
short crops for five years previous
the outlook is far from encouraging
Rain just now would help a great
deal of the spring wheat.
1t has certainly been an unusual
season. The snow did not go off until
very late and the spring was cold anc
backward, and when warm weather
came, it was summer heat at once
and no rain of consequence has faller
all spring. With an abundance OF
moisture to start with, had there beer
even part of the usual rainfall, &
fair crop was sure. But with no rair
and then the extreme heat of the past
week or two, il does not seem strange
that the crop will be short

advises the Forest Service of the
United States Department of Agricul-

land and pasture land are most profit

supply all the timber which the farm
needs for buildings, fences and fuel.
