WORLD CRUISE PUT WARSHIPS TO BAD "SIXTEEN FIGHTING MACHINES WILL HAVE TO LAY UP FOR 4iS ENERGETIC OVERHAULING AS A RESULT OF LONG CRUISE. New York, May 3.—The World to day prints an article by a special Washington correspondent who says: "The navy department has an nounced that the 16 battleships that formed a part of Admiral Evans' fleet on the world cruise are to be remodeled. This announcement is re garded as a practical confirmation of the current report that the long voy age practically wrecked the navy." Continuing, the correspondent says that the masts of many of the ships were sprung, plates loosened and ma chinery and equipment damaged. The navy department, he says, ad mits that 16 vessels are laid up for repairs. According to the plans which are believed to be receiving the ser ious consideration of the authorities, the 16 vessels may be transformed into monitors similar to the old type, but having more free aboard. All cumbersome superstructures would be removed. Nothing would appear above the turrets, fore and aft, but the funnels for the boilers, and the wfrv> "waste basket" type masts used as lookouts. The critics assert, according to the World article, that it is admitted that the armor belt on many of vessels is misplaced and that an innovation will be accomplished by raising the belt to a point where it will be more effective. Fighting masts will be dispensed with in favor of the wire bracket type that is practically in vulnerable. TO LTVE 1000 YEARS. Eat Pie and Nuts, Dress in White and Sleep in Draft. Dr. John Fair, head of Boston's newest cult, the "New Life," is cer tain that he has discovered the secret of how to laugh at old age, and how to exist not only for a hundred but for a thousand years without pain, evil or sickness. He says 250,000 Why You Should Buy at Malaga! THE INCOME from an acre of land in the Malaga district is just the same as it is on lands situated close in to Wenatchee. The Malaga land will only cost you from one-half and one-third what land of the same quality will cost you at Wenatchee. All who are familiar with yields agree that the Wenatchee lands pay dividends on the prices they are bringing. If you could purchase a Wenatchee ranch for one-half its present price today you would not hesitate to buy on account of the fine quality of the lands. Extremely low price is why so many sales are being made at Malaga. We have some of the best bargains offered in this rapidly developing neighborhood, you are sure to double profits—one from the produdts of the soil and a very large one from the in crease in values in land. We have 20 acres of choice bearing orchard which is loaded with bloom and one of the best producers of fine fruit in the entire Columbia River Valley, Price, $16,000. Terms easy. Many other bargains equally as good. Also a few Malaga town lots which we will close out at bargains. Why not come in and let us show you some of these good buys. people have enlisted under his ban ner. Here are his rules for living to be 1000 years old: "Always dress in white. White is the prime principle of life. I believe there should be a universal law mak ing it a crime for any person to go attired in black or dark apparel. "Do not think of death, do not be lieve in death. "Live principally upon vegetables and nuts. Abjure meat, milk, oil and flesh of all kinds, as well as all stim ulants. "Sleep eight hours daily, exercise eight hours and work eight hours. "A man's most critical hour in the day is the 30 minutes before and af ter meals. He should absolutely stop work a half hour before each meal, and must not resume work until a half hour after each meal. "Each person should be alone for a half hour each day, not necessarily to sleep, but to get his mind in a con dition of natural and perfect repose. "Sleep with your bedroom window open every night all your lifetime. Always have a draft in your room. "A dally menu I would suggest would be as follows: "Breakfast—Honey, toast, rarely coffee, and at long intervals an egg. "Dinner —A bowl of soup made from nuts or celery of potatoes, pre ferably nuts; an apple or an orange, with, for variety, lettuce or radishes; brown bread. "Supper—Apple pie, fruit. "I offer to every one who accepts my faith not a hundred or two hun dred but even a thousand more years of life if it is desired." Jack Hinton Wants Protection. Jack Hinton, one of Mission creek's pioneers, says that hereafter he wants a game warden for protection, says the Cashmere Record.

Under cover of night Jack made his escape arriving home in a very excited state. The store farther goes to say the deer are still there and that Jack goes oift every day with his grandfather's muz zle loading gun, only to be tantalized b ythe deer rolling down huge bould ers toward him and making climbing for him dangerous and impossible. THE MALAGA REAL ESTATE COMPANY THE WENATCHEE DAILY WO&LD, WENATCHEE, WASHINGTON, MONDAY. MAY 3. im ANOTHER JAM AT THE GEM MANY PEOPLE AGAIN TURNED AWAY WHEN THEY COME TO SEE THE "PASSION PLAY" PRO DUCED. The interest in the moving picture representation of the "Passion Play" as it Is being shown at the Gem the atre continues to be very marked. Wenatchee avenue opposite the post office was jammed almost continu ously Saturday night by the many people who wanted to see the pictures but were unable to gain entrance. Fortunately for those who were dis appointed the films have been held over two more days and the pictures may be seen tonight and tomorrow afternoon and evening. Many folks who have seen the pic tures elsewhere and liked them very much, did not intend to go again, hut since learning that these films in clude many scenes and situations that were omitted in other presenta tions, they are taking in the oppor tunity also. The remarkable scene of Herod's soldiers killing the babes, is especially realistic. The management has taken pre caution to provide for the comfort of their patrons by installing a new elec tric fan today. The Gem is one of the coolest places in the city, but it will be more so than ever from this time on.

Chelan, Wash., May 3.—Matilda Wapato is the owner of one of the finest 160-acre farms in the Chelan valley. The farm is situated ten miles from Chelan, at the north end of Wapato lake. It consists of al falfa and fruit land of the finest qual ity, and is well watered by a small stream flowing down from the hills. For an Indian farm, the land is well Improved, having a good house, barn and outbuildings. There is a fine bearing orchard on the place, from which $1,200 worth of fruit was taken last year. The tract is es timated to be worth from $15,000 to $25,000. The place was taken up years ago as a homestead by Matilda Wapato's father, Quatrass, or Dr. Jim, as he was called by the whites. After the death of Quatrass, patent was issued by the government to his heirs, Ma tilda, her brother and her sister, Ma tilda and her sister married brothers, Charles and Peter Wapato. The other heirs quit-claimed their interest In the land to Matilda. She and her husband, Charlie, lived there for years. Charlie Wapato had the reputation of being one of the best workers among the Chelan Indians and he made a home of old Dr. Jim's homestead that the average white man would have been proud to own. He filed a water right on the creek running through the land. A quarrel arose between the fam ilies of Charlie and Peter. Peter and his wife brought action in the su perior court against Charlie and Ma tilda to recover a one-third interest in the land, claiming that the quit claim deed to Matilda was secured by fraud and misrepresentation. One evening in August, 1907, while on his way home from Chelan, in a hayrack, Charlie Wapato was shot and instantly killed by Louie Wapato, a young son of Peter. Louie was tried for murder and convicted of manslaughter. He was given a five-year suspended sentence and set at liberty. After the death of Charlie Peter's wife relinquished her claim to the land. Matilda now has undis puted possession. At present the farm is under lease to a nursery company. The rent money goes to support Matilda and her children. They live in Chelan and the children attend the public SALOON MAN IS FOUND GUILTY PATSY TAYLOR OF THE DEPOT SALOON GTVEN $100 FINE BY JUDGE PALMER FOR SELLING WHISKY ON SUNDAY.

A similar number of stations will be distributed through the agri cultural districts of Idaho and Mon tana, crossed by the new line of rail road.
