M. & E. H. W1LKES & CO. 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, tmmt ,mihmi-u rrrr-.?a Deaihess t'nhhht He (ured by local aprMlWUionK. as they cannot reach th* diseased portion of the ear.
