Sells For $4,000, Water Power
Rights in Che|an County
JAY P. GRAVES TAKES 0VFR HOLDINGS
NOW PLANNED TO BUILD ELEC
TRIO LINE FROM SPOKANE
TO SOUND COUNTRY.

! 1t has Just been given out that DR..
/ n G. Blalock, who with Thomas j..
Maloney, the well-known politician,
took an option on the water power in
! the Chelan river last year, has just
transferred his rights and title to Jay
P. Graves for $4,000. The rep:rt
reached Walla Walla through a dis
patch from Wenatchee, which says:
The purchase of the water power in
the Chelan river and the utilization
Of this great energy in the generating
of electricity for the purpose Of run
ming care from Spokane to the Sound
country, with a consequent expendi-
ture in the Chelan region of 10000
900, is the well substantiated report
that is given out in this city today.
The parties concerned in this great
enterprise which is to mean so much
for the Big Bend country and the
country about Chelan, are Boston
capitalists acting through their
agent, Jay P. Graves, the we'll
known capitalist and railroad man Of
Spokane. The price was $4,000.
Tom Maloney of Spokane, who has
been interested with DR.. N. G. Blal
rights in the Chelan river, was in the
city today and confirms the truthful
ness of the report. The price paid for
the water rights is $4,000. Formerly
owned by Horace V. Williams, an OPP
lock and Mr. Maloney. By the deal
they sell their option to Jay P. Graves.
Invade Big Bend Country.
The scheme as it is now planned
contemplates the construction of an
electric line from Spokane into the
rich wheat fields of the Big Bend
country running close to the town of
Waterville. On reaching the Column
bia, the line will descend from the
plateau by an easy grade near Che
Ian falls, where it will cross. Thence
it will run to the town Of Chelan. The
route between Chelan and Seattle will
be a direct one. A pass in the noun
tains at the head of the lake has
been surveyed which is but 5000 feet
in elevation.

DEAFNESS CANNOT BE CURED

By local applications, as they cannot
reach the diseased portion Of the ear.
There is only one way to cure deaf
ness, and that is by constitutional rem
edies. Deafness is caused by an in
famed condition Of the mucuous lin
ing Of the Eustachian Tube. When
this tube is inflamed you have a
rumbling sound or imperfect hearing,
and when 1t is entirely closed, deaf
ness is the result, and unless the in
f1ammation can be taken out and this
tube restored to its normal condition,
hearing will be destroyed forever; nine
cases out of ten are caused by Catarrh,
which is nothing but an inflamed con-
dition Of the mucuous surfaces.
We will give One Hundred Dollars
for any case of deafness Caused by
catarrh) that cannot be cured by

CHENEY BANK HAS TROUBLE.
Cashier Closes institution Giving An

Cashier Closes institution Giving An
Unique Reason for So Doing.
CHENEY, Wash, July 1.-THE
Farmers and Mechanics Bank was
forced to suspend business on Satur-
day. Cashier A. w. Henning gave the
following unique reason for closing
in a notice he issued:
1.-The business Of this bank will be
suspended until the Farmers and Me-
chanics' Bank Of Spokane furnishes
funds to continue the business prop
erly. The Spokane bank, Of which this
institution has always been branch,
has withdrawn it's support without
good reason. Pending a settlement be-
tween the two banks l have deemed it
wise to suspend business temporarily.
No deposits will be received; no
checks cashed or any other business
transacted save to accept money due
in notes of this bank. Depositors have
no cause to worry. The Farmers and
Mechanics bank is perfectly respon-
sible for this institution
(Signed ''W. A. HENN1NG,
cashier"
The situation is peculiar one and
will likely be aired in court. Cashier
Henning feels confident that matters
will soon be Strengthened out and
promises to make his position clearer
at the depositors' meeting to be held
next Wednesday. There is no excite
ment among the depositors and feel
ing of security appears to exist that
everything will be cleared up shortly.

widened, is the report that comes from

The traffic Of the Northern Pacific
| has grown so great that a double track
! is almost an absolute necessity.
| Trains and S, the one the regular
| overland and the other the Burlington
train connecting at Billings, with the
| new Northern Pacific train from st.
Paul, are loaded now with summer
tourists. Orders have been issued
that these trains, are to be run in
two sections until further notice. This
makes ten trains, inclusive Of the
Spokane Sound special, that mus.
cross this state daily. Add to this all
the freight Enthusiastically made
quate to handle the traffic-and it is
seen that a single track is hardly suf-
ficient for the roads purposes. OFF,
Gals Of the Northern Pacific expect
still greater traffic. A part of this
may be taken care of by the new north
bank line, which should be completed
about the first of the new year. But
that line is developing vast amount
Of new territory, which will supply a
great traffic itself.
An instance Of this is afforded by
the new town Of Hoover, a short dis
lance south of Pasco. A year ago the
place was a desert. The first building
was erected there September q, 1905.

river traffic as far north as Kenne-
wick has grown, too, with wonderful
rapidity. A regular boat line is now
established on the Columbia from
Kennewick and another is running on
the Snake from a new town near
Hunts Junction. Additional boats are
being built at both these points. Con-
nections are made at The Dalles at
present with o. r. & N. trains, but
later connections will be made there
with the north bank line.
Much New Business.
All this development will provide
the new north bank road with just
about all the traffic it can handle and
so a double track across the state is
being prepared against the emergen-
cy that seems sure to come. The de-
velopment of an electric system for
the handling of passenger trains is al
so in prospect. It's business is ready
as soon as it can be built.
