He Was Out of Luck.

w. E. Lowenworth, the Hebrew
comedian with the Brandon COM
pany, who was arrested in Seattle
and brought back to Wenatchee to
answer to a charge of theft, seems
to have played in bad luck.
1t will be remembered that on
complaint of Manager Brandon Low
enworth was captured in Seattle and
returned here by Sheriff Webb, but
the case got no further.
1t developed on investigation that
Lowenworth put the trunk he was
accused of stealing oDf at Leaven-
worth, and returned the baggage
check to Mr. Brandon. But before
he received the letter containing the
trunk check and Lowenworth's note,
Mr.. Brandon had become suspicious
and notified the police.
They pinched me and locked me
up at Seattle, said Lowenworth to a
World reporter after his return here,
"and wouldn't even tell me what the
charge was. l was kept there with
out food or attention of any kind
until the Wenatchee officer came.
Then l was handcuffed and marched
through the streets to the train. l
rode all the way to Wenatchee with
the handouts on :"
Lowenworth must have been in
the right. He appeared as usual with
the company in Saturday nights pro-
duction of The Only Way" and
left with the company for Leaven-
worth Sunday morning.

MAKE PROGRESS
ON new PLANT
Wenatchee Electric Company's Pro-
ject for Enlarging System
Takes Tangible Form.

The Wenatchee Electric COM
pany's new plant will probably be in
operation by the middle of October" >"
said Arthur Gum to a World repre-
sentative this morning.
This will come as encouraging
news to the city, as untold advan-
tages must accrue to industrial en-
terprises OF all kinds as we'll as to
the private citizens of the town
when the new and up-to-date plant is
finally running.
100000 is being spent perfecting
the power house and equipment, and
this should give Wenatchee service
unexcelled in the wst in cities of this
size
Yesterday three specialists were
in town in close consultation with
the management of the local cleo
trio company, regarding the compile
ton of plans, ETC., for the improve
ment of the system and construction
of the new plant. They were Frank
S. Chambers, consulting electrical
engineer of Portland; Mr.. Corbett, a
a gas engineer of Seattle, and Mr.
James, constructing engineer of
Seattle. They spent the day in con-
sultation with the management of
the local electrical company, Ding
over the proposed site, discussing
plans, etc.
The plans will be completed with
in the present week.
The machinery has already been
ordered and will soon be ready for
shipment
The completion of the new plant
will give the city more extended
lighting service, and will make it
possible for industrial enterprises to
buy electric power for operating ma
chinery at a reasonable price. Among
the new institutions which will use
power from the electric company will
be the Beal Grain & Milling Co.

the Columbia & OkanOgan Steam
boat company, which plies between
Brewster and Riverside, on the Okla
hogan and Columbia rivers, met
with an accident yesterday which
will disable her for several days.
While attempting to make landing
at Riverside the boat ran on a sand
bar, which had drifted in since MAX
ing her last trip the first of the week,
and in an effort to clear herself
broke a crank and also blew out a
cylinder head. This will place the
merchants in the upper country at
disadvantage, as their merchandise
will have to be freighted in on wag-
ons until the steamer is repaired,
which may take several days, as Sc
attic is the nearest point at which a
new crank can be purchased. The
Columbia & Okanogan Steamboat
company, to which this boat belongs,
has been having considerable trouble
of late, disabling three boats in the
last ten days, two of which were in
jured in an attempt to get through
the Methow rapids during the high
water.

HAVE FAITH IN
CHELAN COLD
Confidence Growing i'm Recent Gold
Discoveries on Chelan Butte
Camp Springs Up.

Myrl Higley, from Lake Chelan, is
in town today and has brought with
him further samples of gold ore
from the Chelan butte district, where
That Chelan butte will one day be
That Chelan butte will one day be
shown to be vast mountain of rich
gold-bearing quartz is belief held
by mining men which grows stronger
with each days developments. The
big hill is now plastered over, On
all sides and from summit to base,
with mining claims, and nearly
every one of these on which develop
ment work or careful prospecting
has been done makes showing Of
gold-bearing quartz more or less rich
in the precious metal.
At present the bonanza seems to
be on the southern slopes of the
butte where the first claims were
staked; but it is believed by many
experienced mining men that there
are lodges on the other slopes just
as rich as those On the south slope,
but that they are buried deeper un-
der the surface and that more work
will be required to, locate them and
open them up.
A miniature mining camp of tents
and board shacks has sprung up in
the vicinity of the original discovery
and a large number of men are con-
stantly employed at development
work on the various prospects about
the camp.
Kingman & Pershall, who staked
the Butte claim, are the first to pro-
cure substantial returns. They have
been engaged for several days in TAX
ing out rich ore and are sorting and
sacking it for shipment to stamp
mill On this claim a siX-foot ledge
with four-inch pay shoot was dis
covered At a depth of twelve feet
on the ledge, the depth to which the
tunnel has been driven when the last
reports came in, the pay shoot was
steadily widening and another
branch-shoot had been broken into
which carried even richer values than
the first. There now seems no pos
sibility of questioning the fact that
Kingman & Pershall have a mine and
a big one.

At this point the police were notified

The Pringle Again.

The old runaway Pringle is again
in the limelight.
This time news of the derelict
steamboat comes from Columbia
siding, several miles below Wenat-
chez.
It is reported from there that John
Sachs, the Columbia siding store
keeper, and Frank Baldwin, a ware
houseman, have captured the Prirgle
and tied her up.
The two men were catching logs
it is said, when they saw the runa-
way steamer bearing down upon
them. They quickly stood by with
a line and made ready to tie her up
as she came by. Making their line
fast, they followed her down stream
until she was caught by an inshore
eddy, when the succeeded in tying
her up, free from the main current
The steamer at present is riding
deep, almost submerged.
In her present position she will be
high and dry when the river falls,
and If there is anything about the
old boat worth saving it will be saw
ed at that time.
Caught in the boats superstruc-
ture and dragging after her when
caught was 500 or 600 feet of / y
inch steel cable. This is probably the
cable which the Pringle tore from
the Columbia river bridge at this
place when she struck it in passing
down stream a few weeks ago.

A Wandering Boy.

This morning the police took into
custody small boy, about years
of age, who was found meandering
aimlessly up Wenatchee avenue.
He was clad in a Buster Brown
suit, a fiat hat and wore no shoes.
When questioned by the police he
refused to give his name or place of
residence. Marshal Ferguson sought
to bait the juvenile prisoner with
lengthy sticks of peppermint candy,
but even this delicatessen failed to
tempt him into speech-though he
ate the candy and made signs for
more.

A False Alarm.

1t was an indignant crowd OF
hostile citizens who gathered in front
of the fire station between twelve
and one this morning, and asked,
Where's the man that sent in that
false alarm?"-
The alarm came in all right.
The big bell rang. and everybody
heard it.
The volunteers and some of the
more energetic of the citizens scram-
bled out of bed and chased loosely
clad to the rendezvous where the ap.
paratus is kept.
But no baleful red glare illumined
the midnight sky-no fierce flames
hungrily licked the dry framework,
etc., for there was no fire.

take DAY OFF
TO KILL RATS
Joke of st. Louis Physician is Taken
Seriously by Newspapers, and
Town Goes After Rodents

ST. LOUIS, June 17.-This was
rat killing day in st. Louis, but it
was not official. Many were killed
today, though. 1t all came about
this way: Two weeks ago DR.. John
G. Harper, while talking with a
newspaper man, jokingly suggested
a rat-killing day. The ambitious
newspaper man took the remark SER
iously.
A few days later an announcement
appeared in papers stating that Sat
urday night had been chosen as the
date on which a concerted effort
would be made to exterminate the
rat kingdom. The following day the
city was placarded with advertise
ments of certain brand of rat poi
son with the result that the rat poi
son of various brands and traps
could not be supplied fast enough to
accommodate purchasers, and the
doctor tonight said there might be
another kind of plague in few
days, which, when the hot weather
comes, if the city does not remove
the dead rats fast enough, may result
very seriously.
1t is probable that the city will
have it's hands full in carrying away
the dead rats for the next few days,
and still there will remain many
more which have died in inaccessible
places. If the city is to be spared a
rise and spread of disease, purchases
of disinfectants and carting to the
| river of rats must follow in proper
ton which will equal. if not exceed,
| the purchase of poison and traps.

Find Gold at the Nelson

While excavating for the trainway
leading from the Nelson mine to the
mill under construction, big depos

says the Chesaw News. Some of II
was crushed and panned and the col
ors found indicated the values to be
not less than $500 per ton. The
deposit being an extension of the
large ore body above justifies the be-
lief entertained by all who know

mine is being opened up, which with
the other properties in this locality
will soon make this camp famOu:
