describes the modus operandi and
makes it clear sailing for the city az
torney and the council.
SO when the 800 or more SER
vices of summons have been made,
the property owners will answer il
Superior court at the November term
and the necessary assessment will
be made against their property, and
they will have chance to show the
court how much they are to be dam
aged. if any, by the change in grade.
To the lay mind the process of
condemnation, etc, in order to level
the street and have sidewalks prop
erly built, seems lengthy and tedious
but it's the only way to do it right,
be fair with the diverse interests,
and avoid the danger in the future
of having the councils action in this
manner questioned or declared null
and void.
The Changes Necessary.
Hardship will be temporarily work
ed on a few persons by the proposed
change but the good of the many
u to be con sijered. Wit1in few
years more Wenatchee will be a much
larger city and the sooner the pres
ent disgraceful condition of the
towns principal business street is
remedied the better. 1t has to come
sometime, and it will be no cheaper
later on. And the improved conven-
fence and appearance of the street,
once the Improvement is made, will
be so much appreciated even by the
property owners themselves thai
their present dissatisfaction will be
forgotten.
The present condemnation proceed
inss should go through court this
fall, and next spring see the COM
meacement of improvements on the
avenue.
This is the story. as exhumed by
the World, at the request of the
council. who wish the people to
know the truth about the city's plans
concerning the Avenue improve

What's Doing Now.
Under the law the original grade

be accomplished by condemnation

DISLIKE CHEAP FOREIGN HELP.

OREGON CITY, Or, Nov. esA
petition is III circulation requesting
the management of the Willamette
Pulp & Paper company and the
Crown n-Columbia Pulp & Paper Conn
piny to discharge the foreigners that
are working in the mills.
There are a large number of Aus
trians employed in the paper manu-
factories here, and the Americans fear
that foreign labor may be obtained
cheaply while so many men are out
of employment. 1t is reported that in
the event of the company declining to
grant the request of the petitioners,
mass meeting will be called for the
purpose OF agitating the proposition.
The mills have been practically closed
for the past week on account of the
low stage of water, but they will PROP

INDIANS COULD EMBALM
Interesting Caves Discovered Reveal
ing Petrified Bodies.

VANCOUVER, B. c., Nov 22.-The
Dominion government, has just had
it's attention officially called to the
fact that the Indians of bygone days
on the Northern coast were possessed
of the art of embalming human bodies
The results of an investigation just
made form a very curious story.
The Dominion department of marine
recently established a lighthouse at
Birnie Island, which lies about 400
miles north of Vancouver. off the har-
Dor of Port Simpson. The usual course
acres or two was surveyed and ga
zetted. About this time came a loud
and angry complaint from the Tsimp-
sian Indians. They declared that they
had cave on the island, ir. which were
buried since time was a mist of CEN
turies their chiefs and subchiefs. They
asked that this cave should be taken
out of the government reserve and
given back to the lands of the tribe
And they wanted immediate action.
Their letter was written in such a
decided fashion that Captain Walbrun,
of the government marine service at
Victoria, was Immediately dispatched
to make a resurvey and gives the land
back to the Indians. He returned to
Vancouver today by the steamer Cam
osun. having carried out the wish of
the natives.
He visited the cave and found that
it was filled to the mouth with human
bodies. apparently petrified. Some
were in boxes and some were not en-
closed. and were sitting or standing or
living on the ground or stacked in tiers
along the sides of the cave. The place
was so full that the official was unable
to enter. There was not the slightest
trace of smell about the bodies any
more than if they had been stone. The
Indians told him that none had been
rlaced in the cave for hundreds of
wears. All around the mouth of the
cave were large deposits of fine pow
der. that reminded Captain Walbrun of
a guano field on an island in the South
Seas. The Indians believe that this
novder or sand is onefOf the agents
which has kept the bodies from decay
