COMMITTEE REPORTS
ON THE WENATCHEE
ELECTRIC PLANT
After Thorough Investigation With
The Help of Competent Civil
Engineer the Committee Reports
Condition Of Plant to City Council.

at the meeting of the city concil last
night, the committee consisting of }.
A, Fansler, +. d, Case and John Gel
latly, appointed to investigate the pro-
psition made by Arthur Gum for the
CITY to purchase the holdings of the We
natchee Electric Co. for the sum OF
$50, 900, submitted its report. Lhe
committee had engaged the service OF
J. R. Thompon. competent civil en-
gineer of Portland, and its report to the
council is based upon his investigat-
ion. 1t consists of statement of facts
in regard to the condition of the plant
and its earning capacity, and carries
no recommendation either for an ac-
ceptance or refusal of Mr.. Gums pro-
position.
The report shows that the gross
earnings of the plant for the year end
ing August ], 1905, to be $12, 40.71,
and the total expenses for the same
period $7,6S.l2, showing net profit
of 81, 492 on the plant alone. Added
to this, the business shows profit OF
$3.50. A ON materials sold and on
labor of installing lights. Under city
manae ement $500 could be saved in
operating expenses and this, added
to the present profits, shows that the
plant during the past year would have
netted the city $7632.94.
A comparison Of the earnings of the
plant for the months of August, Sept
ember and October of last year with
the same period last year, indicates
that the income is increasing at the
rate of 30 pei cent, while the operat-
ing expenses are increasing very lit,

in a position to net the city practically
$1,000 a year In the foregoing
figures no allowance was made for the

made for interest on the investment

Port Arthur Fallen.

Port Arthur has fallen. With rations scarce
an0 ammunition nearly exhausted, General
Stoessel. the Russian commander, at the
earnest request of his staff, decided to sur
render the fortress. Further resistance would
have been useless, as the Japanese had cap
tured emineuces commanding the city and its
immediate defenses. To save further blood
shed Gen. Stoessel was induced to give up the
contest, and on Monday, January 2, sent
proposition to Gen. Nogi looking to the sur
render of the place.
The Japanese commander granted most
liberal terms, and the most stubborn defense
and most persistent and gallant attacks the
world has ever known have come to an end.
No other nation on the face of the earth
would have pursued the same mode of attack
the Japanese have made. Other nations
would have pursued the slower process OF
starving the garrison into surrender. The
Japanese, however. undertook to reduce the
fortress by force. The attacks were persist
ent. and even ferocious. No such indiffer-
ence TO human life has been displayed in mod
erQ times. ne SdCTlIlCe WAS NO. NONhASN-
The reduction of the fortress was the object
in view and its capture was persisted IL until
success crowned the efforts. How many ia
panese were killed and wounded in the attacks
on the various lines of defense the world does
not know. Press dispatches estimate the
number at &c, 600, but the sacrifice must have
been much greater. The Russian garrison
numbered 40, 900 when the siege begun, and
it is estimated that more than half we're killed
and wounded in the defense ofthe city.
While Japan paid high price for the pos
session of Port Arthur, it was necessary at this
time to gain the fortress. With astrong Rus
sian feet approaching and another being fitted
out, there was danger of relief to the Port
Arthur garrison. With possession of that
place, the Japanese we're in position to repel
the Russian ships. just as the Russians kept
the japanese ships at bay.
As fighting power Japan has gained great
prestige in the war with Russia. The situation
was largely favorable TO Japan, it is true. but
the gallantry of her troops and the skill OF
their commanders has been a revelation to the
world, while her navy has been admirably
handled also.
What effect the fall of Port Arthur will
have upon the result of the war cannot be
forecasted at present, but it is certain the
Japanese have gained considerable advantage.
With Port Arthur lost Russia has no base Of
operations for her navy, except at Vladivos-
tok, which is ice bound for four OF FIVE months
each year If the squadron now on the way
TO the seat of war is net capable of defeating
the japanese feet, it is hazardous for 1t to
continue its Journey Its arrival was fixed for
the last week of December, but dispatches
report it far away.
