1t has always been assumed that the
Chelan Electric company was a sub

long time that the Chelan river pow
er was to be used in generating
electric power for the use of the
Great Northern in operating it's
trains through the Cascade tunnel.
However, that company has just be-

Who's the Mother"

William j. Bryan began lecturius
at the Chautauquas about ten years
ago and one of his first engagements
was at Ottawa. Kansas, which is one
the west. When he appeared, ther
occurred the worst rain Anu mood in
the twenty-eight years of the Chaa-
taqua. He appeared at this same as
sembly June, 1907, and again rain
came down in torrents In his in
PRODUCTION he said: I'm glad to be
here again. even if it is raining
nearly as hard as when I was here
before. I don't know if there is any
connection between the rain and my
coming: if you need the rain, / am
responsible for it; if you don't need
lit. I'm not responsible. That is the
attitude of the republican party and
prosperfty-they claim to be respon-
sible for it. but for the calamities
they cannot be responsible.
Later in his lecture, he referred to
Roosevelt adopting the platform of
the democratic party and getting the
honor for the reforms, saying: This
reminds me of debate in a negro
club on the question: If one hen lay
the egg and another hen hatch It..
which is the mother of the chicken.
One debater said. Now, sposin' de
aig was a duck aig an hen hatch it
out, could dere be any disputations
as to whether de hen or de duck am
de mothah OBJ de duck?'''
''The democratic party put the re-
forms in their platform and Roose-
welt carried them out, but I don't
care who is mother of the duck. It's
a good duck and I am so Interested
in the offspring, / shall help raise 1t. ;"

and Chelan Leader in Refer

Local capitalists have filed articles
of Incorporation under the name OF
the Chelan Electric company, with
$5OO,OO0 capital stock, with the In
tention of building an electric rail-

A report from Olympia says:

A report from Olympia says:
II the position taken by Governor
Mead in letter to the state prison
board, is upheld by the courts the
indeterminate sentence law will re-
suit in wholesale liberation Of con-

nor has taken the position that any
prisoner at the pen, save those con-
victed of murder or of treason, who
have served the minimum numb of
years for their crime under the stat
ute under which they were convicted
are entitled to parole on a showing of
good behavior and fun compliance
with the prison board rules, and after
six months time are then entitled to
pardon.
Convicts serving life terms for
criminal assault upon women, such
as c. A. Durfey, sent up from this
city few months ago, are entitled to
parole under such an Interpretation
after they have served one year mad
six months later must be entirely re-
stored to freedom. The governor has
turned. over all matters of pardons,
communications and paroles to the
state prison board, and in addition
has directed that no pardons or COM
mutations be issued in advance of
parole.
The application of the indeterm!-
nate sentence law is being found by
the prison board a difficult matter,
and problems are constantly arising
that require legal determination. The
board recently put the pleasing task
up to the attorney generals Office of
furnishing a list of all the crimes
punishable by statute and the mimi

QUESTION
Matter Now Being Agitated in Seat

day on his way to Lake Chelan where
he always goes to spend his vacation
in the summer.
While in the city Mr.. Guion gave
the World some interesting facts in
regard to the market question in Sc
attic. The question of Seattle mar
ket is highly important one to We
natchee owing to the fact that a very
large per cent of the products OF
this valley are distributed from that
point.
Open Market Agitation.
Asked as to the agitation that has
been carried on there recently
against the commission men, Mr..
Guion said: '.The question OF the
marketing of the fruits and produce
is getting to be more important one
each year. A movement is now on

AT the present time there is n
place where the people may go and
purchase direct from the grower.
The commission men, through their
organization, have things so tied up
that there is not retail dealer In
the city who can purchase stuff from
the farmer. 1t must be done en-
tirely through the commission men.

The Seattle papers have taken Q
hand in the game and have main
tained the position that the commits
sion men in general are taking too
much profit for their work to the
extent of prejudice to the grower.

PLOWED NOW. Let the far
mers plOw their land and leave
it in the rough until they want

The idea is to leave it in the
rough so that the cold perme-
ates the ground. 1t is great
benefit, and in every instance
where the early or fall blowing
was done, it greatly benefited
the crop in quality as well as
quantity. As a good deal of the
ground is new, if each of the
farmers will use POO pounds of

spreading it over very thin, and
then plow it under,it will sweet
en- the ground wonderfully and
