Till ORCHARDS
Seattle and 'Frisco Men
Owning Orchards Here
Watch Progress.
John H. Ferryman, of the Wenat
chee Fuel company, is today show
ing two of his friends around the
valley, and particularly their own
ranches. These men are managers
for the Pacific Coast Coal company,
C E. Huston in Seattle and N. Pos
ton at San Francisco.
Mr. Huston's properly is on Oka
nogan avenue, opposite the green
house. By Mr. Ferryman's advice he
purchased this property, consisting
of eight acres, four years ago, and
it was planted at once. Last spring
the owner refused $20,000 which
was offered for it. Althought it is
a young orchard, he has ordered 500
boxes for the fruit which will be
picked from it this year.
Mr. Poston's ranch is near the
fair grounds and was planted at the
same time four years ago. The de
velopment work on both properties
has been entirely in Mr. Ferryman's
hands.
The owners are highly pleased
with their investments and look with
amazement upon the growth of the
city. They expressed confidence in
the future of Wenatchee, believing
that it will be one of the foremost
cities of the Northwest.
SEWER PROGRESSING
Pipe i< Being Hauled to Okanogan
Avenue—Work Almost Finished
on Chelan.
The contractors on the big sewer
are progressing very well with the
sewer laying. Pipe is now being
hauled to Okanogan avenue and ac
tive work will be started there very
soon. Not only is the sewer well
under way on Chelan but the side
connections are being put in very
rapidly. It is expected that this work
will be completed in the course of
a couple of weeks. On lower Mis
sion street the pipe has been laid
and the trench filled. The manhole
at the corner of First and Mission
streets shows that there will be a fill
of about three feet at that place,
much greater than most people ex
pected. On Columbia street the sew
er is laid at a depth of 16 or 17 feet.
The depth is so great that water
has been encountered and the con
tractors are obliged to operate a
pump in order to work at this place.

PARKING DEPOT
GROUNDS
Crew of Men Preparing the
Depot Grounds for Spring
Planting.
A gang of men is at work on the
strip of ground between the depot
and the lunch room, preparing it to
plant flower beds and a lawn next
spring. The flower beds are being
shaped into circles, diamonds and
spear-heads, the borders being raised
with dirt and covered with small
stones which will be white-washed.
A number of vines have already been
planted, several apple trees will be
placed this fall and already the spot
is much improved, and gives some
idea of what its beauty will be next
spring.
Curbing has been laid between
the track in front of the depot on
Kittitas street and the cement side
walk leading towards Wenatchee av
enue. The space between the main
tracks and the sidewalk towards Co
lumbia street, which is about 125
feet in width and extending from the
subway north to the fruit growers'
warehouse, has been filled with
gravel, leveled off and the teams are
fast packing it down, making it a
splendid roadway. The progress of
the work indicates that the railway
company will have a very beautiful
and commodious yard when the task
is finished.

Too Many Russian Thistles.
A great deal of complaint is being
expressed by the allowing on the
part of the city of Russian thistles
to get started in this city. In the
outlying section of the city especial
ly this great pest has got a good
start and is rapidly taking in large
sections of the city. The state law
imposes a penalty on property own
ers allowing Russian thistles to
grow. Some two years ago the city
spent a considerable sum for culling
these out of the streets, but since
that time there has been nothing
done to prevent them from growing.
Not only are the thistles becoming
a great pest in the city but in the
country as well, and it his been sug
gested that the authorities take this
matter up.
The Wenatchee Business College
will open its fall term, Monday, Oct.
3, their quarters being on the third
floor of the new Harlan Block. All
those interested n a business train
ing will do well to write for litera

CARPENTERS UNION
ORGANIZED
Officers Elected and About
65 Carpenters on the
Membership Rolls.
A carpenter's union has been or
ganized in this city. Several weeks
ago an organizer was sent to this
city with the result that about 25
carpenters signified their intention of
becoming members. A charter was
granted and since the initial meeting
about 40 additional members have
been secured, making a total mem
bership now of about 65. A meeting
was held last night at which 10 new
members were enrolled and it is
thought that in the next few weeks
all of the working carpenters in this
city will have become members.
Meetings are held every Thursday
night. No regular meeting place has
as yet been secured but a committee
was appointed to arrange this matter
for the next meeting.
Officers elected are A. M. Wilson,
president; A. C. Reeves, vice presi
dent; James Berch, secretary; C. M.
Lewis, financial secretary; D. A.

WOMAN DRIVER ON
LONG JOURNEY
Vancouver Motorist Will
Visit Spokane Dur
ing Trip.
At the wheel of her own car, a big
Thomas Flyer tourist, and accompa
nied by a chauffeur, Miss Nellie
Prebble, a wealthy business man of
Vancouver, Wash., is now on her
way to Spokane on one of the long
est trips ever made by a woman
driver. Miss Prebble is not yet out
of her 'teens, but is an accomplished
motorist.
The Vancouver girl and her party
who are a trio of young friends
from Portland, left the Oregon city
last week to attend the military
tournament in Tacoma. On their ar
rival there they entered the car in
the big auto parade and made an
attractive showing.
Tuesday they left Tacoma for Se
attle and from there they will cross
the mountains to Spokane, making
a triangular trip through the state
before returning home. They are
taking the middle pass through the
Cascades, stopping at the principal
resorts. All the necessary repairs on
the car are being made by Miss Preb
ble herself, who is an expert me
chanic.

Library and Park.
Mr. Editor: The public will un
doubtedly be interested in the fol
lowing observations:
1. We will be criminally negli
gent if we fail to secure that library
for our community and the reading
public in general.
2. To obtain the greatest amount
of good from its possession, it must
be located on the most accessible and
convenient spot.
3. The northernmost part of the
city park fills that requirement, as
no other locality can, and its use
for the purpose of a library would
not only impair the former, but also
enhance its value as a park, while
putting to a good use that portion
of it that is of little or no benefit
hitherto or hereafter as a park or
part of it.
4. The two connected would af
ford mutual adornment, and greatest
possible benefit and convenience to
patrons.
5. Trim up, by cutting off a con
siderable portion of the lower limbs
of the trees sufficiently to admit of
the air and light, and a removal of
trees will not be necessary to permit
the grass to grow.
6. Wenatchee has enough finan
cial burdens to bear in paying for her
highly necessary new dress and trim
mings in the form of graded and of
macadamized streets, sewers and
sidewalks, without being called upon
for additional cash to purchase li
brary grounds. Locate the library

Hoys' Joke Cos,t Life in Water.
Vancouver, Wash., Aug. s.—Little
Herman Herbert, 9 years old, lost
his life in the Columbia river yester
day because he cried "wolf" once too
often. The lad, a practical joker,
had frequently startled his compan
ions by cries of distress, and when
they went to his rescue, laughed
in delight at their alarm.
Yesterday the oft-repeated cries of
distress were ignored and young Her
bert, who was drowning, went to a
watery grave.
His companions thought his real
distress cries were but another of
the lad's practical jokes and left him
to his fate. When they realized what
had occurred they were broken-heart
ed over their failure to respond.
NEW CHINESE COIN
SIANDARD
After 5,000 Years Celestials
Modernize Money
System.
Seattle, Aug. 5. —The Chinese em
pire after an existence of five thou
sand years, is at last to have a mone
tary standard, with a currency of
recognized value throughout the
country, according to word brought
by C. D. Tenney, secretary of langu
ages in the United States legation at
Pekin, a passenger on the Sado Maru
from the Orient.
The new currency is on a dollars
and cents basis, superseding the ra
tio of taels, Mexican silver valuations
and a dozen other methods of cal
culation. Coins are now being mint
ed and American engravers are at
work on plates for paper currency.
The first issue will be in circulation
by the last of August.
The silver dollar will have an in
trinsic value of 72 cents. This coin
will be supplemented by issues of
half dollars, quarters and dimes.
The currency issue has been assign
ed to the Imperial Chinese Bank
which will issue the tender under the
direction of the central government
which will guarantee it.
OKANOGAN'S DOINGS
Woman Has Unpleasant Exj>erience
With Fire.
Okanogan, Aug. 5. —Mrs. Varney
of Seattle, sister of Mrs. M. M. Rus
sell, has been visiting the latter at
her home north of town during the
last two weeks. Last week Mrs. Var
-1 ney had an experience with fire that
was anything but pleasant. She and
j her baby were sleeping in a tent and
jat about, five o'clock in the morning
« she was awakened to find the tent in
flames. Hastily wrapping the child
in a blanket from the bed the lady
made a rush for'the outside and es
caped with a few minor burns and a
- slight singing of her hair. The tent
; was soon burned to the ground, and
; its contents, including bedding, cloth-
ing, etc.. were destroyed.

Mr. and Mrs. R. P. Irwin of this
I city are entertaining their son Robert
B. Irwin, of Cleveland. Ohio, who

weeks. Although having been blind
from infancy, Mr. Irwin Jr. has made
i a remarkable record as a scholar
having graduated from the Washing
; ton state university at Seattle with
honors and winning from the uni
: versify club of Seattle a three years'
I scholarship at Harvard university
, where he received his A. M. about
two years ago. Mr. Irwin is now
| supervisor for the department of the
; blind in Cleveland public schols. He
is a young man only thirty years of
! age and his success seems all the
more phenomenal when it is taken
into consideration that he earned the
money himself with which to go to

studies.

FEAR UPRISING ON
SUNDAY
General Weyler Will Be in
Charge of Government
Forces at Capital.
Madrid, Aug. s.—Alarmed by fears
that the proposed demonstration
of clerical forces at San Sebastian,
the summer capital, would assume
the character of an uprising, the gov
ernment today began a rush of
troops into San Sebastian. General
Weyler, the captain general of Cata
lina, and Count Sagasta, the minister
of the interior, will go to San Sebas
tian to be in immediate charge in
case of any disorder.
Since the government ordered the
railroad companies not to furnish
special trains for the proposed de
monstration at San Sebastion Sunday,
the Catholic adherents* are already
commencing to leave for the summer
capital on ordinary trains. Feeling
runs very high.
Poor Old Married Man.
It was a full moonlight uight, and
the neighboring bells were chiming the
hour of 2 a. m.
"Martha." called the young husband,
who had been pacing the floor since
midnight—"Martha, the baby Is cry
ing for the moon."
There was a slight twisting of quilts.
"Yum-yum. John." was the answer,
and then more snores.
Two hours elapsed, and still John
was pacing the floor.
"Martha." he railed. In desperation.
There was a long silence.
"Martha, do wake up! I can't quiet
little Henry: he is still crying for the
moon."
There was a series of yawns and
then:
"Well. John, for pity's sakp. if he is
crying for the moon why don't you
give it to him and not keep me awake
all night?"
And then she turned over for an
other nap.—Chicago News.

"more than ever."
The bride turned her head away for
a moment and then said to the groom:

better. Henry, but it didn't."—Atchison
