THE WENATCHHE DAILY WORLD, WENATCHEE, WASHINGTON, WEDNESDAY, JANUARY 8, 1908. CHICKEN SHOW OPENED TODAY The rooster is cock of the walk to day on Wenatcnee avenue. The Fourth Annual Show of the Wenat chee Poultry Association began this morning. Many fine specimens of birds are on exhibit. The show this year is a success already and much interest is mani fest not only among chicken fanciers but by the people generally. If one can judge by the enthusi asm shown, it will be only a short time till Wenatchee will be famous for chickens as well as for Big Red Apples. To paraphrase a well-known book, the title of this article, as descrip tive of the show, might well be "When Henhood Was in Flower." Editor World: In answer to "Inquiry" in last night's Daily World, according to a calendar I have, Nov. 25. 1861, was oh Monday, and May 23, 1888, on Tuesday. Meet me at the HALF PRICE SALE. A, NEW SLOGAN "The Wenatchee Way," Suggestive of the Progressive Spirit of the Town. Walter M. Olive, one of the livest I boosters that any town ever had, was in the office of the World last night to comment upon the bridge and oth er matters of interest, and states that lin his estimation the coming bridge demonstration ought to be the biggest blowout that Wenatchee ever had. "A recent clipping from one of the upriver papers spoke of the 'Wenat chee way,' and the idea struck me, ' said Mr. Olive, 'that there is a phrase which should be used as a slogan by the people of this city. They talk about the "Seattle Spirit," and the "Pullman Pull," and "Yakima is : Better," and "Kittitas is Best," but ! the "Wenatchee Way" eclipses them all. The Wenatchee Way is an ex ) pression of the manner in which en j terprises, public and private, are i handled 'in the best town in th<' i state of Washington.' In other words, the Wenatchee Way mean:; | that we get what we go after. LEAP YEAR SPECIAL Owing to the frequent requests for the letter of the "Marriageable Girl," which was published in this newspa per several months ago, and which created so much comment throughout the state, by special request the World will republish the article in to morrow's issue, along with several other features. Leap year is here, and the bachelors of Wenatchee are already looking for some kind of anti toxin as a preventative of the "dis ease" which is liable to affect a good •ly number in case of "exposure." At the jollification of the C. C.'s Friday evening, Miss Lela Bigelow of Wenatchee, who is teaching here, war quite painfully hi.'t. Some of the girls were being pushed around the room on chairs when the one on which Miss Bigelow sat ran into a crack and she was thrown violently to the floor. She was badly bruised and shaken up, but no bones were broken, and she expects to take her place in school again soon. The Cashmere Coons finished the holiday festivities by a grand fair given for the pleasure of the young ladies of the town. The young men Don't miss the HALF PRICE SALE.

TALKS OF WASH INGTON SCENERY Louisville Courier Contains inter view of Country Among the Cas cades and Along Wenatchee River The Seattle Times of yesterday contained an editorial commenting upon the grandeur of Washington scenery and especially upon the beauties of the Cascades along the line of the Great Northern and of the country up the Wenatchee river. Among other things the article says: A few years ago Mr. E. Polk John son, a special agent for the United States Treasury, was located in Seat tle — and like thousands of other men identified with the public serv ice, became attached to the place of his location. Mr. Johnson Is now stationed in Louisville, Kentucky, and on Decem ber 28 was interviewed in the Louis ville Courier Times touching on the Alaska-Yukon-PacWc Exposition. The Times is the evening edition of the Louisville Courier-Journal, over which Henry Watterson pre sides, and is, therefore, an important publication in the state of Kentucky. After having related his own ex perience and his peculiar sensations when first crossing the Rocky and the Cascade mountains, and coming down into Western Washington, he tells a little story of an artist who happened to be riding upon the same train. It was in the summer time ar.d the sky was clear, and as the train as cended from Leavenworth to the switchback —for this was before the days of the tunnel —and conditions made the scene as wildly romantis OLD SOLDIERS IN REUNION The old soldiers of Wenatchee and surrounding country are in reunion at the Sprague Hall this afternoon.

There were the loftier peaks of the Cascades covered with snow, while below them everywhere was the for est primeval, and beside all that, was the dashing Wenatchee river flowing to the Columbia-—and thus a picture was presented that would appeal to any nature. Mr. Johnson dectares that he watched his artist friend to see what impression this Cascade scenery was making upon his mind—but he sat like a stoic until the very summit of the switchback was reached, when he cried out, "What a fool I have been, crossing the ocean year after year to see the same mountains, the same people, while all the time in my own country is to be found the most mag nificent and the most beautiful scen ery the world contains! This is my first visit, but i shall come back again; I shall come often, and bring my friends with me. We in New York think we know everything—but my friend (addressing Mr. Johnson) we know nothing. Indeed, we know nothing!" Again, insisting upon story-telling. Mr. Johnson refers to a Sabbath morning when the rainy season- was drawing to a close, and discussing with another friend the beauties of the mountain scenery: "Soon the mists will clear away and you will view a scene, such as (Continued on Page Three.)
