S. W. USHER SAYS THAT THE
t?HIO PEOPLE ARE VERY EN
THUSIASTIC OVER THE WE
NATCHEE VALLEY.
There were 22 heads of families
in the party of Ohio people who came
here last week to locate in this val
ley. Besides that there were seven
of the party who were given the
power of attorney to make selections
for some who could not arrange to
come out here with the colony. All
but one or two have made selections
of land on the east side of the river,
near Rock Island, and will arrange
to go on the land at once.
S. W. Usher, who has the party
in charge, states that the newcomers
• are very enthusiastic over their new
home and are well satisfied with
conditions here. Another small party
will be here next Saturday and the
last of next month there will be an
other large colony.
1000 Drug Stores Out of Business.
Topeka, Kan., March 11. —Kansas
has taken the lead of all states In
absolutely prohibiting the sale and
ifocture of alcoholic beverages
Governor Stubbs has signed a b*U
prohibiting the sale of liquors for
any purpose, and it is th* most dras
tic law ever put upon the statute
books of any state. Druggists are
barred fro-:i handing any kind of
liquors, and physicians are prohibit
ed from prescribing them for medi
cine. Alcohol can not be used in
arts and sciences.
At least a thousand drug stores i i
Kansas will go out of business be
fore the first of June, the date for
the publication of the lawt The
large lot of liquor in storage included
in wholesale houses and drug stores
will have to be disposed of before
the law takes effect.
What will become of the great
of liquors Is a problem. There
are a great many prohibitionists who
fear the legislature went too fa" in
absolutely prohibiting the sale of al
coholic liquors for any purpose, and
especially in denying physicians the
privilege of prescribing it in their
practice.
Quality fruit brings quality prices
—but if in addition to quality you can deliver fruit on
the markets weeks ahead of the regular supply,
"quality prices" will change to the highest fancy
prices. This has been proven many times. Do you
want to do this? You can by planting trees of
Stark Early Elberta peach
—This is the latest addition to our list of new trade-mark va
rieties, and we are pushing it with all the confidence which
characterized our introduction of the Stark Delicious apple,
Stark King David apple, and other special trade-mark sorts. It
has a tremendous commercial future before it and those who
plant it quickest are those who will reap the greatest return.
—Stark Early Elberta peach is a seedling of the weli-known
Elberta, but superior to it in every way. It is better in quality,
bright yellow flesh which is juicy and sweet; skin thin but strong
and not too fuzzy. In shipping and keeping qualities it equals
its parent. In addition to all these points of superiority over
Elberta, »ts biggest point is its season of ripening—fully two
weeks earlier than Elberta.
—The originator of Stark Early Elberta, Dr. Summer Gleason,
Davis Co., Utah, wrote us last summer:
J. H. Hale, the peach king will be here Friday and will write you his
opinion of the Early Elberta. Later: J. H. Hale could not come but
sent his son. He says Early Elberta is away ahead of everything here.
Note by Stark P:o's:—J. H. Hale wrote us that peach growers need just
such a peach as Stark Early Elberta, since it comes at a season when food
peaches are scarce and is just in time to top the markets.
Utah Agricultural College—Experiment Station.
Last summer I visited the orchard and nursery of Dr. Gleason of
Davis Co., Utah, and saw the Early Elberta and Elberta growing side
by side. At the time of my visit Early Elberta was ripe, and in its
prime, while Elberta was hard and green. Fully two weeks before
Elberta would be ripe.
I brought back with me several specimens of £arly Elberta in order
to try their keeping qualities. Fruit was placed on a shelf in the office,
exposed to light and heat. The fruit lay there for two weeks in as
good condition as when picked. After this it began to wither, but was
still in condition to eat two weeks later, or a month after being picked
from the tree. The fruit dried up and is still on the shelf—just a bit of
gummy pulp around the stone.
The habit of the Early Elberta tree appeared to me identical with the
Elberta. Fruit in external appearance is just the same, but in texture I
believe Early Elberta has a little finer grain and not quite so much
"rag." It is juicy and sweet, with bright yellow flesh and a free stone;
skin thin but strong, and*is not too fuzzy.
I believe Early Elberta is one of the best varieties introduced since
the first Eberta came. It will no doubt play a very important part in
sections such as we have here, where growers do not want too many
varieties, but must have early ard late kinds. In Early Elberta one has
all of the good qualities of Elberta, and the additional feature of early
ripening. When this is taken into consideration, and when it is planted
along with the original Elberta, much of the strain and congestion which
comes with peach harvest will be greatly reduced. The shipping season
will be lengthened.—E. H. Favor, Asst. Horticulturist, Dec. 29, 1908.
Having tested its shipping and keeping qualities thoroughly; without
doubt it is the most valuable addition to the commercial peach list that
has been introduced in recent years; an excellent shipper and as a
keeper it has no rival.—L. Marsh, Hort. Inspector, Davis C:>., Utah.
—Owing to the fact that the variety is comparitively new and
that our time for propagating has been short, our stock is limited
and as the demand is bound to far exceed the supply, we
suggest early ordering.

FUTURE OF I
COLUMBIA VALLEY
SPOKESMAN-REVIEW EDITORIAL
CALLS ATTENTION TO PROPHE
CY MADE SOME 20 YEARS AGO
A conference significant of the
spirit of progress that is stirring the
upper Columbia river valley will be
held in Wenatchee March 18-19.
Representatives will be there from
all parts of north central Washing
ton, and the purpose is the organi
zation of a development league.
It becomes impressively apparent
that a dense population will flow into
the valley of this great river within
the next 25 or 50 years, and that the
region thus developed will be one of
the most noted in America. Not only
the main valley, but the confluent
basins of the Wenatchee, the Entiat,
the Chelan, the Methow and the Oka
nogan possess a mild and agreeable
climate, and soils that are unsur
: passed for fruit growing. That coun
try, too, has vast forest wealth, wa
iter power, mineral and building ma
; terials.
With this development, Wenatchee
must expand into a large city. The
Spokesman-Review pointed out,
nearly 20 years ago, that Wenatchee
resembled Spokane as a contact point
of vast and diversified natural re
sources and that it was destined to
become an important commercial
center.
The progressive business men of
Wenatchee are animated by that
broader spirit which aims at the up
building of their own city by foster
ing the development of a vast sur
rounding region. That admirable
spirit now finds expression in the
projected conference and organiza
tion of a development league.

SOCIETY WOMEN
TAKE REST CURE
GO INTO VERY STRICT TRAINING
UNDER CARE OF SPECIALISTS
IN PREPARATION FOR SOCIAL
SEASON.
London, March 11.—In these days
smart women make health a religion.
They know good looks count for lit
tle without health, and to make
themselves fit they will go to any
extreme. The London season is al
ways a trying time for those who are
not of robust constitutions and la
belle Americaine says, dearly as she
loves our metropolis and its fun the
atmosphere simply uses up her com
plexion unless she is in perfect health
when she settles down for a spell of
a couple of months within its walls.
As I write the Countess of Duffer
in and Ava is undergoing a rest cure
to fit herself for the forthcoming gai
eties. As her petite figure and deli
cate coloring suggest she is by no
means strong, and although ever
since her husband came into his fa
ther's title and estates she has strug
gled to do her duty as a hostess in
town, she generally has to make an
exit before the gaieties have conclud
ed. This season she intends to try
to stay on to the end, as she believes
the rest cure which she is taking at
her house in Cadogan place will
brace her up for the fray. Another
American who has just concluded a
rest cure is Consuelo Duchess of Man
chester, who is shortly on the move
to Biarritz to be there during the
king's stay. Her explanation of this
to a friend was that it was absolutely
essential for her to be quiet for a
time before going anywhere within
measurable distance of King Edward,
who allows none of his friends any
real rest when he is near them. His
majesty is a man of exceptional en
ergy and with no end of endurance.
He is never tired and he can get
along well with six hours' rest. Night
after night he can dine out and play
bridge until the small hours of the
morning, and he expects his friends,
women as well as men. to turn up
smiling and looking as fresh as paint
each day. The only woman of his
immediate circle who can do this
comfortably is Mrs. George Keppel,
who is a perfect Amazon, and besides
is a great deal younger than many
of the others.
These rest cures are conducted by
specialists, who visit the "patient"
each day. No member of the lady's
family is allowed to see her during
her retirement, and she is allowed to
speak only occasionally to the soft
voiced nurse who waits upon her.
The patient is made to consume
quantities of milk if she can take it
and is not already of too generous
proportions, and only the most sim
ple and nourishing of foods are per
mitted. The specialist, who under
takes the case, always knows the pre
cise effect of the diet he orders upon
the complexion, the eyes and the
nerves. The food usually takes the
form of herbs and vegetables.

GLACIER IN ALASKA
ON A RAMPAGE
GUGGENHEIM ROAD SERIOUSLY
DAMAGED—BED OF COPPER IS
CHANGED BY FLOW OF WA
TER.
Seattle, March 11.—Belated re
ports received in Seattle today give
news of a rampage of Child's Gla
cier, Alaska, which will not only
seriously handicap the Copper River
& Northwestern railway work, but is
said to have changed the course of
the Copper river for a considerable
distance.
Miles' and Child's glaciers are sit
uated about 40 miles from Cordova,
in the immediate vicinity of the
point chosen for the location of the
Guggenheims* $3,000,000 steel and
pile bridge crossing of the Copper
river.
Million Dollar Damage.
| It is probable that the piers for
I the bridge crossing were destroyed,
although the damage cannot be as
-1 certained until the conditions permit
;of a complete examination being
made, but at any rate it will be sev
, eral weeks and possibly the middle
iof the sjimmer before active work
!at the front can be resumed. The
i damage to the Guggenheims' work
'may approximate $1,000,000 without
'considering the delay.
The disaster occurred on the night
of February 10, when, according to
| mail advices, a huge body of water
broke loose from Miles glacier, of
sufficient volume, it is estimated, to
cover 20 square miles of territory
to a depth of several feet.
Piles Up Ice on Roadbed.
Great masses of ice were piled on
the track of the Copper River &
Northwestern railway for a distance
of at least four miles. It is certain
that this will completely destroy the
roadbed and track, and the cost of
replacing the work, together with
clearing the debric and removing
other results of the glacier's wild
I work, will be enormous.
Direct news of the glacier's out
burst comes from Katalla, where it
was brought by two railroad em
ployes on their way to Cordova, be
ing unable to reach that point by
the usual course down the river.
The story of the destruction of the
railroad work was confirmed from
another source, although it was
stated that the section of the bridge
destroyed was of wood and tempo
rary piling. The permanent steel
structure had not been instituted
E. H. Hawkins, chief engineer of
the Copper riv.-r railroad leaves to
night for Cordova and will hurry to
the scene of the accident to deter
mine just how serious the damage
has been.

GHENT WINS FIGHT
FOR SANITARIUM
ENERGETIC KING COUNTY MEM
BER CAUSES RECONSIDERA
TION AND PASSAGE OF TUBER
CULOSIS HOSPITAL.
I
Olympia, March 11. —After a stiff
fight, Dr. J. A. Ghent, of Seattle,
resurrected his tuberculosis sanitar
ium bill that failed to pass yesterday
morning, and it was carried. Ghent
explained to the chair that five mem
bers who were recorded as either
absent or voting no had told him
that they voted aye, and be wished
to see justice done.
The speaker ruled that as a motion
to reconsider the vote had been de
feated in the morning, he could not
entertain Ghent's motion to correct
the record at this time, and suggest
ed that the house appeal from his
decision if it desired to go back to
the Ghent bill. The speaker took
occasion to censure the house for its
failure to maintain order while rolls
are being called.
The house sustained Ghent and
then passed a vote to reconsider the
vote by which the Ghent bill failed
to pass. This was done, and the bill
was again put on final passage and
received a safe majority. This is a
distinct victory for Dr. Ghent, as he
charged that some of the medical
profession who dislike him had been
secretly working against the bill be
cause it bore his name. He roundly
scored them in the house. The Se
attle surgeon has been fighting for
this since the early days of the ses
sion. The measure provides for an
appropriation of $45,000 for the es
tablishment of a tuberculosis sani
tarium for the scientific prevention,
treatment and cure of tuberculosis.
It is open to all bona fide citizens
of the state. No person shall be
barred by reason of poverty, but
those who have the financial ability
to do so shall pay in a reasonable
amount. The medical superintendent
shall receive a salary of $3,600 per
annum, and must be specially skilled
in the treatment of tuberculosis sub-
