MRS. CLEVELAND
TO BE A BRIDE
Annouucement lias been Made of ber
Approaching Marriage to a Wells
College Professor.
(By The Associated Press.)
Princeton, N. J.. Oct. 29.?Mrs.
Grover Cleveland authorizes the an
nouncement, of her engagement to
Thomas Joseph Preston, professor of
archaeology and history of arts at
Wells college. The date of the mar
riage is not yet determined, but will
be announced later.
Mrs. Cleveland is a graduate of
Wells college and has been a trustee
of that institution since 1887.
Her wedding to President Grover
Cleveland, which took place in the
executive mansion during his first
administration, was one of the not
able events In the history of the
white house. Her father, Oscar Pol
sum, was a law partner of Mr. Cleve
land, who. upon Mr. Folsom's loath,
in 1ST."?, became Frances Folsom's I
guardian.
After his retirement from the pres
idency, Mr. Cleveland made his per
manent home in Princeton and Mrs.
Cleveland has continued to re
side there since the former presi
dent died in |?0S. Her two daugh
ters, Esther,nnd Marion, and her son,
Richard F., are living with her here.
Illbheti's Statement.
Tho announcement of the engage
ment was made tonight by President
John Crier Hibben, of Princeton uni
versity, who said:
"Prof. Preston is 50 years of og( .
He i-; a graduate of Princeton and
one whom we hold in very high es
teem. As a young man he began his
university studies at Columbia, which,
however, were Interrupted on ac
count of illness. At that time he gave
up the idea of completing his educa
tion and went Into business in which
lie made a very rapid and notable
success, establishing himself at the
head of a vory prosperous manufac
turing company in Newark, N. J,
After securing a sub.<f-utial fortune;
and feeling keenly tl ' contlnuod
success could not compensate for his
abandoned college career, he deter- 1
mined to attain a long desired end. '
which his earlier years had denied
him. Although nearly the age of 40,
he, nevertheless closed his active bus
iness career and went abroad to study
for two years at the Corbonne, Paris.
"Returning to America, he came,
to Princeton for two more years of
additional study. On account of the i
wide range and unusual excellence of
his work, both in undergraduate and ,
graduate studies, he took at the same
commencement not only the degree of
Litt. B? but the degree of M. A.,
very unique attainment. He was al
so elected tit the time to the
Princeton chapter of the Phi Beta
Kappa society.
"Prof. Pre on was exceedingly
popular nnd made many friends while
at Princeton. He was subsequently
appointed Fellow of the American
School of Classical Study at Home,
nnd later won, In a competition open
to all universities or the United
States, the fellowship of the Archne
logical Institute of America. After
pursuing his studies abroad, he re
turned to Princeton ami took his de
gree of doctor of philosophy. He was
then called to his present professor
ship of Well college."
The Cpper Wenatchee Valley.
By Miss N. Conine Putnam
Leaven worth High School
Leavenworth. Wash.
Broken by hills and mountains, with
many fertile tributary valleys of vary
ing size, the upper Wenatchee valley
is beginning to take Its place as one
of the favored garden spots of thr
world. The gro/ h of this section has
hot been forced. It may be truly said
that there has never been a "boom"
here. Such development as has alrady
been carried on has been because of
the advantages of fertility, natural lo
cation and an exceedingly healthy and
invigorating eltniatdi
The invasion Of desert lands in and ,
noar the lower end of the valley by a
process of irrigation has resulted in
wonders, years before the possibilities
of the arid tracts in the lower valley
for fruit raising were suspected, StUr*
! dy pioneers In the upper Wonatohfye
I valley had planted fruit tre*s\ not
i in spots suitablo for Irrigation or ev
en possible to Irrigate, oft the side
hills. Today these trees pYantcd fifteen
to twenty years ago "lire thriving.
While It is the frroud and well sup
ported declaraVfcm that fruit trees will
prosper horfc without Irrigation, It 1h
admitted 'that with Irrigation there
will bo "more satisfactory results. So
that the fruit-growers are making use
of Mie water which mature has been so
lhvlsh in providing. The many moun
tain streams that before hurried tin
obstructed through the pastures and
valleys now being diverted to the use
of fruit growers.
Yet the development of the fruit
raising Industry here has barely Btart
ed. Thousands of acres of land, destin
ed to be converted into orchards yet
remain primeval forests. Giant firs
and pine yet remain for the woodman.
The soil of the valleys is a deep
volcanic ash and decomposed lava,
which is unsurpassed for richness and
productivity.
One of the attractive features of
the country is the climate. The win
ters art mild, the thermometers rare
ly down as low as zero. It usually
ranges from 40 to 20 above zero dur
ing the winter months. Snow covers
the mound like a blanket tor three
months in the year and sleighing is
fine.
The summers are warm, with two
months of hot weather, which puts the
blush on the peach and makes the big
apple red. The nights are cool. Thun
der, lightning and tornadoes are un
known. Spring and fall nre delightful.
The climate is tempered by a remark
ably balmy Chinook, coming over the,
mountains from the Japan current of
the Pacific. This accounts for the
mildness of the climate.
On the west side of the valley, the
Wonatchee River, which gives the val
ley its name, is a mountain stream,
and has its source among tho snow
capped peeks of the Cascade .Moun
tains, the last barrier bei ween the
Heckles und the Pacific slope. The
Great Northern Railway enters the
valley at the confluence with the Co
lumbln Rtvor and runs almost the en
tire length, finally emerging and cr?ss
Ing tic Cascade range after passing
through one of ih<> longest tunnels in]
ehe world.
The high mountain-; here afford the
best grazing possible for sheep. T)y
arrangement with the forestry depart
ment, the sheep-owners of north cen
tral Washington herd their pheep here
in the summer. Roaming over iho sides
of tho mountains the sheep are kept
in i est of < endition.
I mnense bodies of mineral, it has
been demonstrated, are to be found in
tlie mountain:; tributary to tho Up
per W'enateb.ee Valley. To the south of
Blewett considerable work has boon
carried on vltll marked success, but
the full development of this region lias
hardly been started.
It Is from the Peshartlan Creek most
of the water supply for Irrigation in
tlie valley, conies, although the Wen
ntchee riven- runs through the center
of the valley. The Peshartlan is a
rapid mountain Btret.
With population of about 2000, 140
miles from Seattle, the home of one
of the largest inland saw mills in
tlie world. Lenvcn worth is situated on
the WenatChcc river at a point which
naturally makes it the metropolis of
tho Upper Wonntchce Valley. The
Great Northern Railway company has
made this a terminal point and from
hen the Wonntchce Valley and North
ern Railway company is building a
line to tap the great country around
Lake Wenntohee and the White River
Valley, where is located one of tlie
largest and most valuable bodies of
white pine in the west.
The farmers in the fertile valleys
tributary to the Upper W'enatchee
make Leaven worth their nnvkot place
and from here are sent supplies to the
mining camps located In the moun
tains in the different directions from
the city. From a little railroad town
of a few years ago it nas grown to be
a modern little city with good schools,
churches, modern electric lighting
plant, water system, ample banking
facilities and good stores.
The town with tho $.'0,000.00 pay
roll, it is not an Idle boast for the city.
It Is a fact. There Is sufficient money
distributed here weekly and monthly
In wages to insure permanent growth.
Leaven worth Is a home city. Here
men who are profiting by the bounti
ful resources in tlie country are build
ing homes.
There are many beautiful sig):s of
scenery in connection with the Upper
W'enatehec Valley, Just north of the
tOWll of Leaven worth Is the Tumnatrc
Canyon, noted the world over for it>
beauty. East of the W'enatchee River
Is the Icicle Canyon frorn which all
the drinking water of this section is
secured through a flume. The Lake
Cholan is considered the grer e . point
of interest in the northwest for its
scenic beauty,

Tlrer* Is only one way to cure deaf
h?sk, and that is by constitutional rem
edies. Deafness Is caused by an in
flamed condition of the mucous lining
of the Bustachlan Tube. When this
tube is Inflamed you have a rumbling
sound or Imperfect hearing, and when
It is entirely closed, deafness is the
result, and unless tho Inflammation
can be taken out and this tube restor
ed to'lt8 normal condition, hearing will
be destroyed forever; nine cases out
of ten are caused by Catarrh, which
Is nothing but an inflamed condition
of the mucous surfaces.
We will give One Hundred Dollars
