But I pledge myself to see you through these mountains before dark; and when we strike the levels of the Columbia, these colts are going to make their record." "You mean we can't hope to reach Wenatchee before dark?" Her voice shook a little. "And there isn't a house in sight anywhere. Mr. Tisdale, we haven't even seen another traveler on this road." "Well, this is luck!"
Instantly her face brightened. "Yes. But come in, will you not?" She turned and placed the package on the table, and took one of two chairs near the alcove. The azalea was so near that its vivid flowers seemed to cast a reflection on her cheeks. "I presume you mean my tract in the Wenatchee Mountains?" she went on engagingly. "A few miles above Hesperides Vale." "Well, yes."
"You are looking about as reliable as your shadow. Likely the first puff of a wind would lift you out of sight. My, yes. But I just ran over to say hello, and let you know if it's the expense that's hurrying you, there's a couple of thousand in the Wenatchee bank I can't find any use for, now the water-works are done and the house. You can have it well's not. It ain't drawing any interest."
A couple of traveling salesmen had 'em out all the forenoon, and these drummers drive like blue blazes; and it's a mean pull through to Wenatchee. But wait till to-morrow and, with an early start, you can make it all right with the roans. That's the best I can do, unless you want a saddle-horse."
One can travel in a canoe through this forest for a month at a time without passing over the same lake twice. Other popular national forests are the Angeles in southern California, the Pike and Colorado in Colorado, and the Oregon and Wenatchee the Pacific Northwest. Visitors to these forests total more than 1,750,000 a year. The western forests are also being used for winter sports.
Then I hiked over the mountains to the Wenatchee valley and earned enough that summer vacation to tide me over the next year. I had a friend there in the sage-brush country, a station agent named Bailey, who had blown a thousand dollars into a tract of desert land he hadn't seen off the map.
This witness tried to blame all the fires in Everett onto the I. W. W. and the absurdity of his testimony brought this question from the defense: "Just on general principles you blame it on the I. W. W.?" "Sure!" replied the witness, "I got their reputation over in Wenatchee from my brother-in-law who runs a big orchard there."
The color flamed and went in her face; then, her glance falling to the basket at her feet, she bent and took the largest apple. "Did you ever see such a marvel?" she asked. "It came from that station master's orchard in the Wenatchee valley. He called it a Rome Beauty. Divide it, please; let us see if the flavor is all it promises."
"What do you consider the tract is worth?" "I couldn't make a fair estimate before I have been over the ground. Seattle promoters are listing Wenatchee fruit lands now, but the Weatherbee tract is off the main valley. Still, the railroad passes within a few miles, and the property must have made some advance since he bought the quarter section. That was over nine years ago.
It's worth the drive up from Wenatchee just to see Hesperides Vale, and that special Eden of mine is the core. You couldn't miss it; about ten miles up and right on the river road." "I shall find it," she nodded brightly. "I am going that way to see a wild tract in a certain pocket of the valley.
