The addition to the dormitory to
be used for class rooms for the
German school was completed this
week and school opened on Tues
day. The basement will be used
for a dining room and kitchen.
The first floor has one large school
room to be used for the smaller
pupils. The second room has two
class rooms, divided by a folding
partition so that they may be
thrown together when desired. The
third story has not yet been finish
ed off, but should the room be
needed it will be fitted up for sleep
ing rooms, and with the attic of
the old building will be large enough
for four rooms. Prof. Kreiger in
forms US that the prospects for a
good attendance at the school are
very encouraging, though many of
the young men who anticipate
coming will not be able to come un-
til the crops are harvested. The
instruction is given in both Ger
nan and English, and for students
who cannot attend the entire
school year, and therefore cannot
adjust their work to the regular
courses in the public school this
school furnishes extra advantages.

Shocking, Wasn't 1t.

(Waterville Correspondence to the
SpOkesman-Review.)
WATERVILLE, May 3.-The ac-
ton of the Wenatchee Commercial
club in seeking to have the United
States land Office removed from Wat
erville to that place has aroused
strong feeling of resentment among
the business men of this community
against Wenatchee merchants which
may result in the severance of all
business relations between the two
towns. At special meeting of the
local commercial club Monday night
the matter was discussed thoroughly
and with caution. The members of
the local organization are slow to be-
lieve that the Wenatchee merchants
are trying to build their town at the
expense of the surrounding commun-
tiles, since that town is desirous of
becoming jobbing center.
The local merchants have decided
to withhold united action on the mat
ter until an investigation now in pro-
gress shows whether the commercial
club of Wenatchee is behind the
movement or whether it is merely
the real estate spectators masquer-
aiding under the guise of the business
mems organization
Petitions are being circulated by
Wenatchee interests in southern
Douglas county asking that the
change be made, but little encour-
agement is being given the idea. AT
Quincy the business mems organiza-
tion refused to endorse it and at
Ephrata the petition was torn up on
the streets by a crowd of business
men, some of whom had signed it
under misunderstanding of the mat
ter.
The business men here think the
effort at removal of the land Office is
rotaliatory for the action taken by
the local commercial club and the
Douglas county commissioners in op-
posing and killing the bridge bill in
the late legislature.
