The Wenatchee Commercial Club
after having made strenuous enort
to secure bridge across the Colum-
bia river at Wenatchee and after
having this accomplished, by con-
tract with the builders of the bridge,
having made arrangements by which
the state might secure bargain, Is
now up against certain parties at
Waterville, who undere false prem
ises have taken it upon themselves
to knock the whole proposition, as
,suming as their cause of action the
fact that a pipe line is to cross the
bridge.
The following appeared in the
Waterville Empire of last week:
Now the bill lis all right in many
respects. In fact, we might say in all
but one, and that is in regard to the
contract of the Wenatchee Canal
company, which, it seems, is endeav-
oring to get something for nothing,
and We don't believe that the people
of Chelan and Douglas counties gen.
orally will endorse proposition of
this kind.
Section A of the bill says: Said
purchase shall be made subject to a
tween the Washington Bridge COM
pany and the Wenatchee Canal COM
pany, whereby the latter is given
perpetual right to lay two pipe lines,
each of SO inches internal diameter,
over or suspended from such bridge,
for the purpose of carrying water Tor
irrigating lands on the east side of
the Columbia river, in Douglas coup-
ty.'
Section says: From the time
said bridge becomes the property of
the state of Washington it shall be
and remain free from all charges or
tolls for highway crossings, and shall
be and remain portion of the public
highways of the state and shall be
maintained in the same manner as
all other state highways under gener-
al provisions of law
'While we do not know just what
is contained in the contract between
the Washington Bridge company and
the Wenatchee Canal company, it is
understood, as stated above, the can
al company is given perpetual right
of way, but for this privilege it

TRINIDAD STOCkMEN
HAVE TROUBLES
Stock Man From That Country Tells
of Difficulties Experienced in
Live Stock Industry

According to j. R. Baker, a stock
man in the employ of Rothrock &
Sharp, firm handling live stock in
the vicinity of Trinidad and southern
Douglas county, the present winter
has been the most severe on live
stock that that section has even
day purchasing supplies for the COM
pany by which he is empolyed and to
a reporter for the World he confess
ed that when the thermometer regis
tered five degrees blow zero, it was
the coldest weather even known in
Trinidad
THE firm with which / am con-
nected," said Mr.. Baker, are now
feeding in the neighborhood of 5000
sheep and about seven hundred head
weeks we have been obliged to feed
wheat that has cost in no instance
less than sc cents per bushel and
great deal of it cost more than that
figure. Hay is selling at $22 per ton
and it is almost impossible to get
it even at that price.
There have been several ice Jams
across the river so that the st. Paul,
the steamboat which carries supplies
for the Chicago, Milwaukee & st.
Paul bridge across the Columbia 35
miles below here, could not run. The
jam here was IL feet thick, and 200
cattle crossed over it in one drove.
Another jam. ten miles below, was
three miles long.

A little unfriendliness on the part

gentle pressure brought to bear by
that august body, will shortly result
in change in the management of
another of Wenatchee's saloons.
At the meeting of the council held

granted to Holt & Mcdonald be

was moved and seconded that the

Now, someone has expressed a
truiSm as follows:
1T is better not to know so much
as it is to know so many things that
arn't So" From the circumstances
in the case one who is acquainted
with the facts can not but infer that
little of this kind of philosophy
might be assimilated to advantage
by these who are trying the Judas
Iscariot stunt in reference to the free
bridge bill,
NOW let few facts be given:
The free bridge question was TAX
en- up early in the season and the
president of the Waterville CONNER
cial Club consulted. After consider
able correspondence and phoning the
matter was left in the hands of Judge
Steiner by the club at Waterville,
who went into the details fully and
REPORTED FAVORABLY AND
THAT THERE WAS NO REASON
WHY THE BILL SHOULD NOT BE
PASSED.
At the first inception of the bridge
a company was organized by the We,
natchee Commercial Cub having in
contemplation its construction.
Later, w. T. Clark of the Wenat-
chez Canal company was induced to
assist and he succeeded in interest
ing eastern capitalists who organized
the Washington Bridge company.
The canal company gave contract
to the builders to the effect that this
bridge would pay six per cent on the
investment The canal company to
receive the tolls.
UNDER THE CHARTER FROM
THE UNITED STATES GOVERN
MENT ALLOWING THE CON-
STRUCTION OF THE BRIDGE A
FRANCHISE WAS GIVEN TO THE
CANAL COMPANY TO CROSS WITH
A PIPE LINE with the understand
ing that this pipe line should be per-
manent, thus insuring the develop
ment of the country across the river,
and the making of many homes on
that side.
To insure the promoters from loss,
the people of Wenatchee and sur
rounding country put up $4,000.
Before this money was raised the
people of Wenatchee secured from
the builders the contract that the
state should be allowed to purchase
this bridge AT ACTUAL COST LESS
THIS $4,000 DOLLARS, YET SUB
JECT TO THE GOVERNMENT
FRANCHISE TO THE CANAL CON-
PANY.
The deal has been investigated by
men whose integrity no one can ques-
ton.
The facts connected with the en-
tire movement is AN OPEN BOOK.
AS further consideration the pipe
line across the river means the
bread and butter to the people on
the other side and as soon as all the
lands have passed out of the hands
of the canal company it will revert
to the people.
These few men from Waterville
have posed as being favorable to the
bridge provided some condition
might be placed in the bill which
would kill the bridge
AS matter of some interest, the
irrigation of the lands on the other
side means the increased valuation
to Douglas county of $1,00O,GOO or
taxes to the amount OF $4,000 an
nually.

Notice to Stocknen

Many stochmen are still branding
their stock with brands which are
not recorded. and the secretary of
state deems it advisable to again
notify stockmen as to the import
ance of recording their brands.
In order to derive the benefits of
these laws. it should be the first
duty of stockmen to record their
brands in the Office of the secretary
Of state. Failure to do this de-
prives them of the protection given
the business by the laws, and SUBJ
jects them to losses which can be
guarded against in no other way.
In cases of estray animals the law
requires the taker-up to notify the
secretary of the state board of stock
inspection commissioners, and in
cases Of impounded animals, the
pound officer is required to notify
the secretary of state. When es-
tray range animals are shipped to
market, the state stock inspector To-
Gated at the market, holds the pro-
ceeds of the sale of such animals
until the owner can be determined.
1t can readily be seen that where
the brand appearing on any such
animals has been properly recorded.
the owner is found at once and the
matter is settled speedily. On the
other hand, should such animals
bear a brand which is not recorded.
the owner in most cases can not be
determined, and the proceeds of the
sale Of such animals become a part
of the state funds as provided bv
law.
A recorded brand is prima facie
evidence Of ownership. In using an
unrecorded brand owners assume
the risk Of branding their stock with
the lawfully recorded stock brand Of
others.

w AND DOWN the VALLEY.

The stockholders of the town
ditch east of Las Animas are consid-
ering the feasibility of constructing
a permanent dam at the headgate.
The colored Baptists at Rocky
Ford have rustled up subscriptions
to the amount of about $500 for
their proposed church enterprise the
past week They had paid $50 on
their church site themselves, and as
it only cost them $500 they have the
beginning of a fund for building
purposes.
The city dads of Las Animas fixed
the tax levy for 1907 at 10 mills.
This is a reduction from last year of
seven mills. but in view of the fact
that considerable new property has
been added to the assessment list it
is estimated that the new levy will
increase the revenues of the city at
least twenty per cent.

Lamar is having some difficulty in

lied by the taxpayers for the pur-
pose of developing new water

tumble in values on Wall street has
caused bond buyers to be slow about
parting with ready cash. and it is
probable that the rate of interest
will have to be raised from FIVE to
six per cent in order to insure the
disposal Of the bonds promptly.
