trating work on the projects which
are nearing completion until more
funds become available will have an
appreciable effect upon irrigation
projects in the state of Washington.
The service will push the work on
the Okanogan scheme, as that can
be completed by next year and bring
in return of funds to the govern
ment. But it is likely that work on
the Yakima valley projects may lag
for a while. By the end of this cal
endar year the reclamation service
will be pinched for funds, If the pres
ent rate of expenditures is main
taned. 1t has therefore been decided
to hasten work on these projects
which are near completion and from
which return of funds may there
fore be derived in the near future.

taken. The value of all the stolen
goods does not amount of over $12,
according to the proprietor of the
store. The thieves entered the Catch
all premises through a side window,
first removing a pane of glass. En-
ployees of the store noticed sus-
picious looking character lettering
about the premises about O'Clock
last night, and it is believed that he
was in some way associated with the
thieves. From footprints discovered
just outside the window where en-
trance was made it appears that two
men were concerned in the burglary
The man spotted last night, and be-
lieved by the Catchall store people
to be implicated in the crime, can
not be found in Wenatchee today
and is believed to have left town on
one of the early trains.
The police visited the Catchall
premises as soon as the crime was
reported, and made thorough
search for some clue or evidence
which might lead to the apprehen-
sion of the parties concerned. If
they learned anything they didn't
say much about it to the proprietor
of the store.

LEAVENWORTH
STUNC AGAIN
New Road Not AuthOrized-Appr
priation for Survey Only
Was Made.

LEAVENWORTH, April 15.-It
has been the impression here tha'
$4,000 was appropriated by the last
session of the legislature to build a
state road up the valley of the Icicle
river, but this seems to have been a
mistake, as only $4,000 was appro-
priated for the survey of same on ap-
proval of the commission. This pro-
posed road would no doubt be of in
calcuable benefit to this place, as it
would open up many acres of valu-
able land to settlement besides being
the outlet for the products of several
good mines, which are now virtually
at standstill for want of transpor-
tation facilities.

NEW ADDITIONS
ARE BROUGHT IN
Voters Admit Contiguous Territory
TO City FrOper-Is Part of
General Plan.

A special election was held at the
city hall last night to decide on the
admission of certain additions as a
part of the corporate limits of the
city of Wenatchee. The tracts which
it was proposed to incorporate with
the present city boundaries includ-
ed the Belmont, Peachy and Fair
ground additions, and also a part of
Morningside addition. This territory
extends south to the Jacob Skalopi
land, and east to low water mark on
the river bank.
Little Interest was taken in the
movement for making this district
part of the city proper, and but few
persons turned out to vote. 1t
seems to have been a foregone con-
clusion that the territory describe'
was to be admitted to the city of
Wenatchee, as only thirty votes were
cast. 10 by people living in the dis
tricts in question and II by resi-
dents of Wenatchee. Not a single
dissenting vote was cast, every one
being in favor of extending the city
boundaries to include these addi-
tions.
This is following out a cut and
dried plan which the city authorities
lave for enlarging the city in every
possible direction, so as to facilitate
the plan for the new water works.

LAND IS BEST
Prof. Upley Will Buy Fruit Ranch
Here-Soil Specialist Says We
natchee Land is Best.

Another instance Of what outside
people think of Wenatchee soil and
the things that will grow from it
comes from Bellingham
Prof. Upley, of the State Normal
at that place, expects to visit We
natchee this week, with view of
purchasing a fruit farm and settling
down in the community.
The selection of Wenatchee by
Prof. Upley as his future home was
made only after thorough compar.
ison Of local advantages with those
offered by other fruit growing Sec
tions of thes tate. Prof Upley is a
warm personal friend of Prof. Lam
dis, head of the agricultural depart
ment of the University at Seattle,
who has examined soil specimens
from various parts of Washington,
and told Prof. Upley that without
doubt the Wenatchee valley was bet
ter adapted to apple growing than
any other part of the state.
The faculty at the Bellingham
Normal objected strenuously to ac-
cepting the proffered resignation of
Prof. Upley, who is regarded as an
unusually capable instructor. but he
had already decided to abandon
teaching and give himself up to fruit
growing-so he's coming to Wenat-

aged by Frost.

KANSAS CITY, April 15.-There
was a killing frost again last night
in the fruit districts of Kansas and
western Missouri, adding to the dam
ages already done. All reports agree
that heavy loss has been caused

retary l.. A. Goodman of the Mis-
souri, Valley Horticultural associa-
tion. Several days may elapse before
the full extend of the injury can be
estimated accurately. The weather

1rglars were busy in Wenatchee

Burglars were busy in Wenatchee
last night.
Rumor says they've been with us
for some time, and the wonder is
they didn't go to work sooner.
Scheble's hardware store was
broken into, entrance being effected
through a rear basement window,
the thieves proceeding from there to
the main floor. When seen this
morning Mr.. Scheble said that the
property stolen would not amount to
more than SIS Or 500. -Four re-
volvers and two heavy pocket knives
were taken from the center show
case, no other article in the store
being molested, as far as can be as
certained. Asked if he had any sus-
picion as to the identity of the bur-
glar or burglars, Mr.. Scheble said
that a Clue had been discovered, but
that he did not care to talk for pub
hcation while the police were hand
ling the matter. The trail was taken
early this morning by Wenatchee's
silent slueths.
The Catchall store, a short dis
tance down the avenue from Sche-
ble's, was also broken into, and a
burglary committed. Two cheap re-

A NICE JOB FOR
THE HEATED SEASON

For some time the MIuor has
been agitating the REMEMBERING of
the houses in Marion. Attention
has been called to- the lack of sys-
tenn in this particular and the con-
fusion which results every day.
vet council has made no move to-
ward remedying the evil and it
is hardly probable that the present
city council will take the matter
up. 1t is now drawing near to
election time and in the minds of
the City Dads there are other and
far more weighty problems to be
solved before the reins are turned
over to inexperienced men.
But the fact that Marion is one
of the worst, if not the worst num-
bered cities in this or any other
state. Odd and even numbers on
the same side of the street two
and even more numbers just alike
on the same street, a variation Of
several hundred numbers in houses
standing on adjoining lots with
almost an unlimited number of 9th
er errors, makes the alleged system
farce.
The city council could do nothing
which would do more TO perpetuate
it's memory than to give to the
citizens system in numbering
which would be effective in bringing
order out Of chaos.

HUGHES DENATURED
DEMOCRACY

In his message of June IL, We
tceing the two cent railroad fare
bill Gov. Hughes of New York
admits "that those i'll control OF
railroad corporations have been
guilty of grossly improper finan-
ciering and of illegal and injurious
determinations in charges. " But
he insist that these crimes do not
wariIant arbitrary reprisals" "
This is, perhaps true. But the fact
that a majority of the New York
Legislature, and probably a vast
majority of the people of that
State and of the whole Union, have
been ir1itated by the crimes OF
railroad managers, until they deem
such legislation necessary, is a
matter for serious thought. 1t Is
very well to be reminded that in
such matters democracy must de-
monstrate its capacity to act upon
deliberaticm and to deal justly. "
But the fact remains that the earn.
ings of the railroads are by their
own showing greater today than
ever before; and that very little
deliberation is Necessary to reach
the conclusion that, as rule a two
cent fare is enough TO insure a
reasonable return upon the capital
invested, after deducting operating
expenses. The democracy of which
Governor Hughes speaks so tiuently
seems to us to be denatured demo-
cracy, altogether different from the
ancient jackson brand, which in
clines a man to make reprisals as
punishment for injuries.
