Rats and squirrels have teeth which
grow all the time. In the case of a
rat. the tooth pulp is perpetual, and is
continually secreting material by
which It gains length. Therefore the

WHY KILL THE DOGS?
That is the Question This Writer Asks
The Dog Ordinance,

When the master is the one who
is delin quent, why kill the helpless,
loving dog? Is it just that the in
nocent shall suffer for the guilty?
The dog is the truest. best friend a
man can have. He watches lie
his master sleeps. He guards his
home when all are absent When
he is found homeless and deserted :.
shall we turn from him in his need?
Let men be men, and worthy of the
name! And let our town be known
as humane town, where kindness
justice and mercy reign. Let US
feed the homeless creatures, and
find them homes.

OLD WELL THERE
Though Hidden for Years, 1T Suddenly
Opened-Hen Fell in it.

Shortly after daylight Saturday
morning, N. F Gillespie noticed a
small hole in his back yard that he
knew had not been there the eve
ming before The spot was but a
few feet back of the house. and
when Mrs. Gil1espie's attention was
called she was unable to explain
An investigation followed. and Mr..
Gillespie soon discovered that two
feet below the surface of the open
ing there was water. The water
was moving. and a closer inspection
showed that chicken was houn-
dering about on the surface. How
such things could be-. was a query
that caused the work of discovery
to go on with diligence. and when
Mr.. Gillespie had finished. he had
learned that the spot was an old
well, and that there was full seven
feet of water in it,
For weeks and. months and years,
the family had been passing over
the spot. The little children had
played there. The grass had grown
there, and there was outwardly no
sign as to what was beneath The
whole circumstance was lone of
mystery that has since been ex
planned by the fact that anciently
such a we'll is known to have been
on the premises. In the lapse of
time Mr.. Sylvester, who owned the,
property filed the well up. AS in
the case of newly constructed sew
ers in this town, it is supposed that
by and by the filling settled and left
a subterranean cavity. Near the
surface the earth was more tightly
packed and more sodded, and when
the filling beneath settled, it renal
ned intact, and was an earthen
covering for the big hole beneath.
The opening finally of the new hole
into which the hen fell is supposed
to have been due to the late heavy
rains, which softened the crust, and
permitted cave.
It is fortunate that it was only
an old hen, and not a child that
was the means of discovering the
hidden danger. The we'll is
four feet in diameter. and it's total
depth, nine feet.

SALE THAT DIDN'T HAPPEN
Though the Hour for it was Near a
Hand-Injunction Restrained.


Litigation has developed in the
sale under execution of the William
Milton Howell farm located in the
south end of Benton The property
was to have been sold Monday by
sheriff under execution on a judg.
ment for about $500 in favor ol
Wilhelm and Sons at Monroe.
Shortly before the hour for the sale
an injunction was served restrain
ing the proceeding The injunction
suit is brought by Howell, and his
complaint sets up variety Of legal
complications that will likely
carry the case to the supreme
court. zI
Howell, it appears was indebted
to the Monroe firm in the sum of
about 81, 500. Suit was brought
and an attachment was placed on
the property of Howell. He at
once went into bankruptcy. bis es-
tate has. been settled, and he has
been discharged from the bankrupt
court It is about year ago since
the attachment suit was brought.
Meantime, under a state law
Howell was entitled to a homestead
exemption to the amount of 81, 500
which is said to be about the value
of the farm. He failed however,
to make his claim for it. and the
Wilhelm's proceeding in the state
conrt obtained a judgment and. or
der of sale. and the property was
With the day of sale
near at hand, Howell has sued out
an injunction under the homestead
exemption provision, and big
suit is ahead to test the rights of
the parties. The injunction will
come up for hearing at next spring
term of the circuit court. The in-
juno ton was issued from the coun-
ty court. Sheriff Burnett, on !. ac-
count of legal forms, is made de-
fendant IN the injunction, and the.
were served by Coroner
W i1kins, acting as e1isor.

1y advertised in the TIMES was dis
posed of, the county being a heavy

and costs is the successful bidder.
Formerly, the law provided a twen-
ty per cent interest rate the first
year, and thirty per cent the second
The new arrangement is more fav-
orab1e to the delinquent, in that it
provides for the lowest possible in
terest for him to pay in case he ell
ects to redeem the property. For
the latter alternative, he has three
years. All he has to do is to pay
the amount of the taxes and costs.

JOHN A GELLATLY.
His Election as Mayor of Wenatchee-
What Local Paper Saws.

The election of John A. Gel1at1y
TO the mayorality of Wenatchee il
made the subject of very icompli
mentary article in recent issue o
the Wenatchee Republic. Aftel
1eciting the fact that Mr.. Gellat1y
had been resident of Wenatchee
but three years, the Republic says
"Che1an county having just beer
organized a few months prior te
Mr.. Gellatly's arrival in Wenatchee
his several years of experience ir
county Office work, in the capacity
of recorder of Benton county, Ore
gon. at once secured for him a po.
sition in the county auditors Office.
He was made deputy auditor within
ten days after his arrival and was
subsequently put in charge of the
county clerks Office which he man
aged a year and half. -
Mr.. Gel1atly served as city
councilman for two years prior to
selection as mayor of Wenatchee,
a few days ago, which new honor
is proof of the esteem and confd-
ence he has gained by his conscien.
tious and satisfactory work in the
council. -''' 's,''>
Mr., Gellatly was recently reel
ected as president of the CONNER
cial Club of this city, and in that
capacity has, without reward ex-
cept the satisfaction of work we'll
done, given time and labor Of the
most effective character to the pro-
motion of the interests of his adopt
ed town.
AS local manager of the Wenat-
chee Canal Company, Mr.. Gellatly
is identified not only with the de-
velopment of the city, but all Of the
territory directly tributary to the
town. The success of this COM
pany's work and the benefit it has
conferred upon the valley are due
largely to the management of Mr..
Gellatly. And in the meantime, by
the proverbia1 burning of midnight
oil, by hard work done long after
Office hours, he has compiled an al
most ideally perfect set of abstract
books, being the only set in Che
Ian county. The Office of abstract
or which he has established has,
therefore. been success from its in
itiation. Yet apart from this pri-
~ate business. Mr.. Gellatly finds
time to devote to score OF inter-
ests which are identified with the
progress of the city: Socially and
personally, also, Mr.. Gellatly has
won popularity as genuine type
ofAmericanism, always approach
able, afab1e and courteous to the
poorest as the richest, always rec
ognizing the brotherhood of men
and utterly unspoiled by success.
His career in public life may be
said to have just begun; for though
a young man and though he may
conclude that he has done his share
of public work, the people never
fheless need the service of such
men.
Meantime our people here are
fortunate in their choice of John A.
Gellatly as mayor of Wenatchee.
