MILITIA COMPANY
FOR WENATCHEE
COMMERCIAL CLUB THAT
CITY MAY SECURE ONE
FORTY MEMBERS

A telegram has been received by
the Commercial club from Senator
Gum to the effect that another COM
pany of militia is to be organized
in this state and that is can be Sc
cured for Wenatchee if it is given the
proper support by the young men of
the city.
The proposal to establish militia
company at this place has caused con-
siderable talk and is the principal
topic of discussion on the streets to-
day. The chief difficulty to be ex-
perienced will be to find any one will
ing to become captain of the or
ganization who has had the required
three years of military experience,
which, according to the laws of the
state of Washington is one of the
necessary qualifications to becoming
captain Of company of the National
Guard.
Professor Armstrong, of the High
School, has been mentioned by many
as the most logical person to take
the lead in establishing a company
here, because of his record of long
and faithful service in the Philip
pines. Mr.. Armstrong has not yet
been asked to accept the captaincy
but a committee will wait upon him
this evening and ask his aid in form
ing company.
Tn law requires but forty members
and there is no doubt but that num-
Der can be induced to join.
The only. qualifications are that
applicants shall be citizens of the
state of Washington and of good
moral character, but before any ap-
plicant shall be admitted he shall
first be required to take an eXamina-
I,tion as to his physical and mental
fitness.
Those desiring to join the propos-
ed company are being asked to con-
| fer with the secretary of the Com
mercial club or with S. c. McCready
both of whom are at work today feel
| ing the public pulse and endeavoring
to get the signatures of forty young
| men, the number required 70 insure
the success of the undertaking.

INVESTIGATION FOR
COMMISSIONER ROSS
WILL GO BEFORE LEGISLATIVE
COMMITTEE TO EXPLAIN
SOME SHADY DEALS IN
TIMBER LAND

OLYMPIA, Feb. 1S.-The legisla-
tive committee commenced it's inves-
tigation this morning of Land Com
missioner Ross, taking up the Ques-
ton of the timber land sale in Mason
county, in which the value was twice
reduced.
An appraisement of section made
during Land Commissioner Calvert's
time gave the value of timber at
s23.254.53. A new cruise ordered by
Ross gave the value at SIS 900 and
this was later reduced by Ross and
Nichols, as members Of the board of
land commissioners, to $12, 900.
Ross stated under oath that the
first cruise gave first class cedar and
fir, while the second cruis showed on
judgement the first value was fixed
by cruisers under the impression that
Calvert wanted to boost prices and
that the reduction from $4,000 to
s12, 900 was made after hearing the
protest from the applicant to pur-
chase
Ross admitted tn price of timber
was at an increase at the time the
second appraisment was made, while
the records show thae price per thou
sand of second class fir was reduced
from rs cents to 70 cents by the
second cruise.
In response to a direct question
Ross stated that as rule timber on
state school lands has aEever been ap-
praised as hign as so1fs1 is s...uuL by
private owners.
All the members of the committee
and the attorney general We're at the
hearing this morning and all the
members are taking part in the ex-
animation.
| One charge will be taken up at a
time and the committee is decided to
sift all parties to the bottom as far as
possible.
The cruisers under Calvert and un-
der Ross will be examined on the
Mason county deal.
| George B. Deering, who made the
cruise for Ross, is on the stand this
afternoon, giving a description of the
timber and general conditions.

DENVER, June 29.-The discussion
on acting President C. E. Mahoney's re-
ports, which include the matter of
whether or not the western federation
of miners shall continue to affiliate
with the industrial workers Of the
world was temporarily sidetracked in
the federation convention. today and
all pending motions in regard to it
were referred to a special committee.
After an hours discussion it was de-
cided to hold a session of the conven-
tion tomorrow.
The new ritual was then taken up,
the proposition for the unions to hold
open meetings being the principal topic
bee,. Ariz, claimed that if the unions
and the federation had always held
open meetings there would be mo trial
now going on at Boise" He said that
Pinkerton detectives attended all the
meetings, and In order to hold their
jobs they made false reports.
The entire afternoon session of the
convention was consumed in consider

Stocks RISE QUICKLY
AFTER EXPECTED BLOW
Failure of New York City
Bond Offering Is
Discounted

NEW YORK. June 29-The stock
market made some stand today against
the disappointment caused by the fail
ure Of the New York city bond Offering.
The small number Of bids for the bonds
did not in fact. come as surprise TO
the banking world.
In spite Of the confidence in its sue
cess which had been built UP in the
stock market for speculative effect il
appeared that most Of the selling
prompted by today's disappointment
had been completed yesterday and
prices Were bid up again today.
Assistance was given to this move
ment by the circulation Of rumors that
the bank statement would prove an
agreeable disappointment The state
ment failed TO reflect the heavy loan
contraction which had been alleged in
these rumors and the cash loss ran TO
the full figures Of the estimate. There
was some loan contraction, however.
evidently the result Of calling in Of
funds placed in the market pending
the necessity for their employment in
the payment Of dividends and interest
which begins on Monday.
CONFIDENCE IN STOCKS
The professional movements among
the stock operators showed confidence
that the conditions would rebound to
the benefit Of the stock market and
they took hold Of stocks Foreign
markets also were affected by the eK-
pectation Of coming relaxation in the
money market Prices rose TO the high
est level OF the week in the final deal
ylsEs and closed strong without i'm
portant reaction. The bond market
held steady, although very duh, and
