BILLS IMPORTANT
TO CHELAN COUNTY
SENATE WILL SOON VOTE on
BILLS PROVIDING FOR MANY
IMPROVEMENTS IN THIS
COUNTY

A number of bills very imports ne
to Chelan county are to be present 7d
at this session of the state legis a.
ture, prime among them being ne
bill for an appropriation of $laos-
600 for the purchase of the Columbia
river bridge at this point. Among
others is a bill for the establishment
of a fish hatchery on Lake Chelan
and a bill providing for the estab-
lishment of state road from Leav-
enworth up Icicle creek to the coun-
try about Roslyn and the Yakima
valley.
Concerning the status of the move
ment for the free bridge, w. NJ. Olive
who returned yesterday morning
from the scene of action at the state
capital, states that everything looks
favorable and if the unforeseen does
not occur, the bill is likely to pass.
The taxes Cor the state roads viii be
doubled by an act of the legis] ]ature
and this fact augurs well both for
the question of the free bridge and
for the chances of having a state
road opened up from the Leaven-
worth country south through the
mountains.
Of the proposed state road. Deed
H. Magyar, editor of the Leayedworth
Echo, says: This proposed new
road will open up great country.
The road from Leavenworth to Red
Mountain was made state read two
years ago and by virtue Of an appro-
priation by which the Red Mountain
district is being developed | believe
I am. safe in saving that tI1 nti4ilion
will be developed within the confines
of this section. The opening OF a
road from Leavenworth to The Ros-
lyn country would have like effect
on such mining properties in the new
district for there are many of them
awaiting but the construction of such
road as is proposed. There are
many of these valuable properties
which will be paying Investments as
soon as the country can be reached
by means of a public highway"
The matter of fish hatchery for
Lake Chelan is one of which all parts
Of the county will appreciat the i'm
pOrtance. Lying within the confines
of Chelan county is one Of the most
magnificent sheets of water on the
North American continent and any
thing which will add to It's value as
fishing resort or call the attention
of the people of the state to what in
the near future must be regarded as
priceless heritage, must necessar-
lily appeal to the people of this sec

SPECIAL SESSION TO
REVISE The TARIFF
TEMPTING TO GET PRESI-
DENT TO CALL SESSION
IN MARCH

WASHINGTON, Jan. 31.-Anoth-
er attempt is to be made by tariff re-
visionists TO get congress to take
some action looking toward a special
session in the spring. Massachusetts,.
Wisconsin and Minnesota are taking
| the lead in the movement.
Petitions are being circulated by
Representative Ames of Massachu-
setts, Representative Steinerson OF
Minnesota, and Representatives
Cooper ald Davidson of Wisconsin
who claim they will secure enough
signatures calling for caucus of the
Republican members of the house to
force the stand pat leaders to take
action
The petitions set forth that party
caucus is desired to discuss the ad-
| visibility Of asking President Roose-
welt to call Especial session immed-
lately after the adjournment March
4 for the purpose of revising the tar
| iff in part or in whole
Plan Well Organized.
Fifty signatures are needed to get
a caucus. Standpatters are conf
IDENTITY claiming that no caucus will
be called for discussing the revision
and that the present agitation will
t1syli, as .dfd the one led by the Mass
achusetts delegation last May.
The present movement is much
better organized than it was last ses-
sion. Then the Eastern members
tried tG pull matters through practi-
cally alone. The present movement
has been going on Ior week quiet
ly, and Oily leaked out today. Only
three OF ne state delegations have
come out h the open, but 1t is un-
derstood hat petitions are also be-
ing ciroul ted among other state der

urement of the Water FUSED.

The 200 new water meters that
are being installed in a number of
the business places by Kelly q Nc
Alinden, the contractors for the
work, are being put in place rapidly
and, in a few weeks, all of them will
be in working order. At the water
board meeting last night Superin-
tendent Burns reported that the work
was we'll under way and that on ac-
count of the recent cold weather the
contractors had been slightly delay
ed. The board discussed the meter
question and at the mex meeting the
superintendent will present a list of
the places that are metered. The
board favors the meter plan and 1t is
possible that in a short time meters
will be installed in every place where
city water is used. Besides prevent
ing the water from being wasted the
meters save a number of disputes,
and superintendent Burns cited a
number of instances last night to IL

Thomas NJ. Kettle, NJ. P, and Rich

ENJOYS who have come to America
and who are to appear at Columbia
hall tomorrow night at s O'Clock, are
continuing the work of Mr.. II. p. o.
Conner and they are the newest re-
cruits to the Irish Parliamentary
party. They are both young men of
splendid talents and remarkable abil-
ity, and in the public life of their
native land a brilliant future is
prophesied for them both. Although
neither Of them has been a member
of the Irish Parliamentary party
more than a few months, they have
already made their mark as among
the younger leaders of thought in the
national ranks in Ireland, and men
who are fully capable of holding
their own, either in debate on the
platform, in the house of commons
or in any other capacity that may be
called for as representatives of the
Irish people.

NEW YORK, Feb. 21:--Plans
were perfected yesterday at a meet

Aera Club of America for Il balloon
ascension from Washington tomor-
row. j. c. Mccoy. n of the men
named to defend the International

loon, the America, of $1,000 cubic
feet capacity, and capable of carry
ing several passengers. Alan R.Haw-
ley, another cup defender, will be
n of those TO make the ascension
with Mr.. Mccoy, and it is probable
that officers of the government will
make up the rest of the party.
The ascensions will be made as
near noon as possible, from the east
ern gas works, in twelfth street, and
will be witnessed by attaches of the
embassies and others. Among the

is named as the contestant, with
Lieutenant Cialetti, of the Third
regiment of engineers, rs alternate.
The hcallenge was not sent until Feb
ruary IL. after the entry list had
been officially closed, but 1t is prob
able that 1t will be accepted, as there
appears to have been a misunder-
standing as to the limit for entering.
Pilots licenses were granted yes
terday to Carl r. Myers, of Frankfort,
n. Y. and Frank H. and Frank P.

SMOOT STAYS
IN THE SENATE
Vote Was Taken Yesterday
Foraker Praises the Mormon
Representative.

WASHINGTON. Feb. 21.-The SEN
ate has decided that Senator Smoot
(Utah) is entitled to his seat by defeat
ing the Burrows amendment. The vote
was % to ~.
Senator Dubois was the first speaker
in opposition to Snoot. He charged
that senators supporting the Utah sem
ator had taken advantage of all the
tactics of special pleading.
The only fair speech, he said, that
had been made for Smoot had been by
the Junior senator from Utah, Mr..
Sutherland. "He would not have dared
utter on this floor what other senators
uttered" he added, because he knows
better the actual conditions in Utah"
Senator Hansbrough IN. d. support
ed the resolution in a brief speech, in
which he denounced Mormonism..
Senator Cafmack offered a substi-
tute resolution providing that Reed
Smoot, a senator from Utah, be ex-
PEELED from the senate 1t would, he
said, require a two-thirds vote of the
senate to adopt his substitute.
Previous TO the recent speech of
Senator Knox, Mr.. Carmack said it
had been his intention to vote for the
committee resolution. Mr.. Knox had
demonstrated that the committee reso-
luton was an attempt to do by Il ma
.iority vote what should be done under
the constitution only by a two-thirds
vote. .
During the debate Senator Foraker
said:
mo case whatever has been made
that will justify us III either declaring
vacant the seat oil eXpelling the sena-
tor from Utah. Reed Smoot has proved
a better character than any other sen
ator here has a right TO claim.
He is so good a man that | almost
doubt him. He has no vices. He does
not drink or smoke or chew or swear,
and he is not a polygamist."
The applause of the galleries at this
was checked by a warning by the vice
president.
