BOY BROWNS IN
COLUMBIA RIVER
Shirley Moore, Son Of Morris Moore,
Sinks While in Swimming Near
the c. & O. Docks---Body
Not Yet Recovered

Robert Shirley Moore, aged Is, son
of Morris Moore of this city, was
drowned 10 the Columbia river at the
G. and o. docks at 1890 O'Clock today
while in bathing. Up TO late hou:
this af telnoon the body had not been
recovered A force of men is now at
work dragging the river near the docks
AS the current at that place is strong
the-e is little hope of finding it unless
1t has caught on the docks.
The lad had been in the water but
few minutes and was the last of a
crowd of half q dozen to 60 in.
The other boys had climbed out on
the dock and were dressing put "Shir-
iey," as he was known by his conrad.
es, wanted to stay in a while longer.
He tried to get some of tue other
boys to stay in but they had had emo.
ugh OF the water and kept on dressing.
When last seen the hov was clinglng
to the gang Plank leading from the
shore to TIE tffice toat. The water
is not very deep at tits point but the
bottom slopes off very suddenly. and
as he could swim but few strokes it
Is supposed he got beyond his depth
aud sank unnoticed ty his comrades
His absence was not noticed for sever
al minutes when cne of the boys sud-
denly saw that he was gone from the
gang plank and search was instl-
tutad. Even then it was not thought
that he was drowned but that he
was hiding and playing a trick on
the rest of the boys. When he could
not be found the boys became alarm
ed and notified the mate OF the steam
er Pringle, A. Hall. and together
they made search of tue docks. Mr.
Hall ia an expert swimmer and he
dived again and again near the place
where the boy sank but without avail.
In the meantime the boys parents
had been notified and Mr. Muore was
soon at the docks. He IS making
every effort to recover the BODY.
Shirley Moore was one of a family
of piue children and came to Wenat-
chee two years ago with his parents
from Ewing, Ky. He was an unusual
ly good boy TO work and was always
busy doing whatever work he could
find. He was member of Mi ss
Mitchell's class in the sitxh g,ade
last year and was very popular with
his school mates His father, Morris
Moore. came to Wenatchee three years
ago and brought bis FAMILY here a
year later. Sir. Moore is at present
in the employ of j. H. Ferfyman.
He states that it was very unusual for
his son to 90 swimming and believes
he had been in fewer times than
most of the boys. This was the first
tire he had ever gon. in at the docks
A most thorough search is being
made fer the body and 1t will not be
given up until every foot of the river
near the docks has been gone over.
The boys who were in the water
with the lad WERE. Willie Horey, Fey.
Wise, Frank Knapp, Moody O'C'onnor
and Lyell Fenton.

WORK WILL BEGIN
ON ROAD NEXT FALL
Jas. ]. Hill States That He Will Be.
gin Construction Of Wenatchee---
Orville Branch Before the
Snow Flies

In an interview with reporter for
the Seattle P. /. yesterday James ].
Hill is credited with saying that he
will begin work this fall upon the We.
patohee. Oroville branch of the Great
Northern which has been surveyed
this Summer. This is the first Inform
alton concerning the new road which
has come direct from Mr.. Hill himself
and there is little doubt but that it is
authentic. His statement bears out
the opluion of the best Informed men
in this section concerning the starting
of construction on the read and in
every way conforms with the rumors
which have for some time emanated
from more or less official sources.
Although Mr.. Hill states that it is
not his intention to use this road to
hall cut Similkameen coal for use on
his huge steamers, it will nevertheless
open up many mines in the northern
part of the state and go long way to-
ward solving the fuel problem IN this
city which is at present without q
satisfactory fuel at q reasonable price
Mr.. Hills statement will be regarded
by everyone as of greatest Importance
to WenatcEee and the Okanogan coun.
try whose development depends solely
upon transportation. While the road
itself may not be of very great import
ance to Wenatchee it will OPEN up
that vast country to the north, great
part of which is tributary 70 this city
and will pI o badly increase the volume
of business here very apprGciably. TO
the reporter MIR. Hill made the follow.
ing statement:
"Tne long proposed line from Wen
atohee to Oroville, to connect with the
boundary road, which extends through
the Similkameen will be constructed
this next fall. 1t is not the intention
as has been reported frequently, how
ever. to use this road for the purpose
of bringing the SimIlkameen Goa. out
for use In the Great Northern steam
shi ps, ss the best coal we are able to
secure is "Crow's Nest"
81 am accompanied on this trip by
an electrical engineer, who will look
over he sitration relative to using
electricity in the tunnels through the
mountains. This will baVe to be done
ultimately and it will depend upo n
the report of Mr.. Hutchinson how
soon definite action will be taken to
carry out these plans. 1t will not
mean any reduction in the grades,
however, as to do that would necessit-
ate the construction of lower tunnels,
and this would te an undertaking that
could not be carried out in my life
time.
"The question OF exending the new
line to Portland via the north bank OF
the Columbia river, into the city OF
Spokane, is under consideration, but
has NOS been definitely determined.
Thi. is one of the qvestions that MIR.
Darling and Mr.. Hogeland have been
studying on the trip"

"M-ARTH4S" EXCITED.
Raansors Afoat That Miss Gould and
Mrs. Sage WM Lease Hotel.

Rumors OF all kinds and of a most exciting
nature are animating the Christmas season at
the Hotel Martha Washington. There is a feel
ing among the guests that some sort OF change
IS impending. and special meeting of the
stockholders called for December 27 gives color
70 this belief. The most generally accepted be-
nef Is that return to the purpose for which the
hotel was originally intended TO serve-namely.
that OF a permanent home. as we'll tenn
porary lodging place for women OF moderate
means-is contemplated, and the names OF Miss
Helen Gould and Mrs. Russell Sage are asso-
cated with the supposed movement Miss Gould
is stockholder in the company. and frequently
puts up at the hotel when in town, and Mrs.
Sage who is supposed 10 be looking about for
means OF spending her millions. is known to
rely greatly upon Miss Gould's judgment. What
more likely then, ask the Marthas. than that
Mrs Sage wants TO change the character of
their hostlery and bring It nearly within
the means of the average woman?
The raising Of the prices at the Martha WASH
ington. which, when It opened. were quite rea-
sonable for New York was great disappoint-
ment 10 those who hoped it was going to meet
long felt need and was very displeasing to
some at least Of the stockholders. Miss Grace
Dodge disapproved Of il much, IN fact, that
she withdrew from all further participation in
the affairs OF the company. II is believed now
that this feeling OF dissatisfaction has spread,
and that a considerable percentage Of the stock
holders believe that the hotel is missing its aim.
When the building was opened the cheapest
rooms were So a week. Now they are 81. Less
than one hundred rooms were reserved for tran
sients, where less than one hundred are
occupied by permanent guests A permanent
guest occupying a 81 room pays only 90 cents
a day less for it than does a transient, and the
private dining room has been closed, that
the permanent guests have no advantage what
ever over the transients in the matter Of food
This change, which occurred about a month
ago bitterly resented by the permanent
residents, and scores of them have since been
going outside for their meals. They say that
The management does not want TO encourage
permanence as there is more money in tran
| eients. and the rooms at the Martha Washing
ton are always in demand. Complaints about
the table also are many and bitter and have
added much fuel to the flames.
Another rumor about the meeting on Thurs
day is that It has been called to consider the
leasing OF the hotel.

CITY ACQUIRES LAND.
York on Ner0 Bridge Terminal
Loon To Be Rushed.

The city Of New York took step forward In the
solution OF the Brooklyn Bridge crush problem yes
terday. taking title to all the property necessary
for the bridge loop terminal which Mayor McCleI-
Ian has been advocating. This terminal Is to take
in the 'Staats-Zeituns" property, the ANDY
Horn saloon and two other pieces Of land bounded
by City Hall Place. Park Row. Duane and Centre
streets.
When the Mayor pushed this plan about four
weeks ago after the elevated railroad bridge loop
plan was killed Corporation Counsel Ellison moved
rapidly and told the Mayor at the Board OF Elstf-
mate and AppOrtionment meeting that he could
take title to all the property needed for the terr-
nal at once. The Mayor looked over the plans and
decided to wait a month, which up yesterday.
The assessed valuation of the property is about
SO O0 and the cost TO the city about So 900
A loop will out into this plot and trains viii
over the property now occupied by Andy
Horns saloon and across Park Row into the land
between the Row and Centre street. The trains
will turn there and run back again.
The terminal is to be but a temporary one, to re-
Iieve the present crush and may be torn down and
eliminated after the subway loops and bridges
are completed Surface cars may be out on
the loop in some fashion TO ease the crush during
rush hours.
The Bridge Commissioner told the Mayor a month
ago that ne would have everything ready for ad-
vertisinG the bids soon as title was taken. and
II is expected that within sixty days work will be

coroner's jury was impanelled last night
and an investigation took place to-day. The
engineer of the switch engine testified that he
had been ordered to move west of the town.
where he was to drop off flagman and go ahead
and stop the incoming passenger train. The
hagman testified that he had been sent on ahead
of the engine for nearly half a mile and that he
not only placed two torpedoes on the track. but
waited and signalled the passenger train with
his lantern as well. He swore that no attention
was paid to his lantern signal. and he could
not say whether or not the torpedoes had ex-
ploded. The night was slightly foggy, and the
supposition is that the lantern signal was not
seen and that the torpedoes failed TO explode.
It came out that the fiagman had been In the
employ of the road for only three weeks. but
that he had tagged trains before. The jury
returned verdict holding the crew Of the freight

Charles Bell bookkeeper for the Empress
Manufacturing Company was cheered vocifer-
ously as he daringly rescued two men from
burning factory building yesterday afternoon.
The fire broke out shortly after O'Clock in a

burned rapidly and fiercely. Suddenly two men
out on the fire escape on the top balcony or
the building They shouted to the crowd below
for help Bell had not left the building in which
he works which is next door TO the one that
was on fire. Calling to the men not to jump, he
leaned far out of an adjacent window held by
"Abe" Goldberg aIfd "Sol" Ostrow. also employed
by the Empress Manufacturing Company. and.
reaching the men, swung them through the win
dow TO safety. The crowd. which had watched
the rescue in ;hreathless silence. broke out into
tunultuous cheering when the second man was
to be safe.
An amusing incident followed the scene. The
men did not stop to thank their resouer, but fed
precipitately down through the building and out
into the street their one idea being appar-
