An Afternoon Party.

The many friends of Mrs. ]. w.

were welcomed at large afternoon
party in the beautiful new home OF
the former on Miller street yesterday.
Twelve tables were arranged in the
long living room, dining-room and

an original way of entertainment.
When the score cards were passed a
list of questions concerning a floral
wedding were found to be written
thereon. The lady having the most
skill and promptitude in answering
these questions proved to be Mrs.
Frank Culp, who was awarded a
beautiful hand-painted picture. Mrs

scarcity of correct solutions with a

appropriation will allow. AS a re-
suit of these dam, ;ne river, which
before was dangerous, and part of
the year was too low for navigation,
will, when the dams are completed
be safe throughout the year. These
dams cost close to $1,000,000 each.
1t is believed by engineers that a
dam at Rock Island Rapids would
cost much less than even one of
these many Ohio river dams. Even
less than one-half the amount.
What a Dam Would Mean.
Cd A dam across the Columbia
river at Rock Island would mean an
open river between Wenatchee and
Priest Rapids.
CD Water power might be devel-
oped to generate electricity to
pump water for the irrigation of
hundreds of acres of the finest land
between Rock Island and Wenatchee.
CD 1t would mean slack water
at Wenatchee, and a harbor all
along the bank in front of the city
of Wenatchee.
(4D Less danger to small boats,
anu IN 1acC IL WOu1u mean DOdtlHS
with skiffs between Wenatchee and
the Rapids.
Engineer Ward Talks.
Engineer c. c. Ward was called
up and the facts presented to him.
In reference to the subject, he said:
while l haven't gone into the sub
ject thoroughly l would say that the
project is entirely feasible. The
cost for such a dam ought to be not
over 100000 and might be much
less.
All former work an the Columbia
river has been with the idea to spend
just as little money as possible. I
have no doubt that if the proper
move is made that this work may be
accomplished.

COUNCIL MEETING

Wenatchee is closed town and
that it will remain closed is highly
evident from the action taken by the
city council last night when they
adopted the report OF the police COM
mittee that the punishment for the
violation of the ordinance providing
for an open front window on Sundays
should be 800 fine or thirty days in
jail and for the second offense that
the license be revoked.
The committee on streets made
their report on the improvement of
Wenatchee avenue and CheIan ave-
nue. and the proposed Improvement of
Okanogan avenue.
The application of K. Rite for a
transfer of the liquor license granted
to A. J. Walters Sept. 20, 1907, was
read and the saloon was granted per-
mission to conduct business until
such time as the committee should
have time to investigate the former
record of the parties making the ap-
plication.

What would you think of an open

steamers might run between Wenat-
chez and Beverly, the new toVn on
the Milwaukee railroad which is
now being built.
That such thing is not only pos
sible, but that it is entirely feasible
can be shown by an examination into
the conditions in the Columbia as
compared with other big rivers in
the country In order to ascertain
the possibilities along the line of
development which might result the
Daily World has gone into the sub
ject to quite an extent. 1t has found
that to secure an open river between
Wenatchee and the Priest Rapids a
dam river across the Columbia river
near Rock Island rapids would be
necessary. This together with one
or two locks is all that would be
needed.
Possibility of Construction.
The damming of the Columbia
river, which at first seems like a
great undertaking is believed by
some who have had experience with
other big projects, to be absolutely
feasible. The Ohio river is damned
at many places.
How 1t Was Done.
To secure this work in the Ohio
river, the people of the towns along
the stream organized clubs having
for their slogan ION to Cairo. 1t
was their wish that a nine-foot stage
of water the year around should be
secured in the river.
Through the Rivers and Harbors
Act Congress appropriately large
sums of money for this purpose and
over twenty dams were ordered.
These are being built as fast as the

MONSTER SHARK KILLED
ON BOMBAY HOOK ISLAND
MEASURED EIGHT FEET FOUR
INCHES, WEIGHED 200 POUNDS
Was Discovered In The Cove Along
6roadwaYs Causeway on Saturday
Afternoon and Was Shot

Bombay Hook Island was given an
experience Saturday that rarely hap
pens along the Delaware River.
A huge shark measuring eight feet
and four inches was killed in the
cove along Broadway's causewav
and brought to Smyrna that evening
by George c. Rothwell and exhibited
as a curiosity. How the shark ever
got in Broadway's cove is not known.
1t was discovered by James R. Mott.
president of the Woodland Beach As
soclation, and George Goldsborough..
The latter were sounding along the
causeway with the view of some re-
pairs to the road. The shark was
seen Hopping in about three feet of
water. The tide was receding. Mr..
Goldsborough picked up a bar of
iron and struck the fish without
effect. He called the attention of
the men building the road, who rush
ed up to see the monster. By this
time the shark turned around and
headed toward the bay and Just when
the spectators had given up hope of
seeing it again, it turned completely
around and came toward the cause
way again. By this time Frank Ev-
erett procured his gun and shot the
shark three times before killing it.
Subsequently Frank Everett, Law
renee Everett, and Mr.. LeCompt wad-
ed into the water and made sure that
life was extinct in the fish by stab
blng it and beating it over the head
with rails. The next thing was to
get the shark ashore and it took all
the men to haul the fish up the
causeway. 1t was then loaded on
Mr.. Rothwell's wagon and brought
to Smyrna. A hundred or more
viewed the shark in front of the
postoffice. 1t was a fine and healthy
specimen and weighed over 200
pounds. Mr.. Rothwell later took it
to his farm near town. The appear
ance of shark at Bombay Hook prob
ably the first ever killed there. has
been the subject of much comment
among the fishermen and the resi-
dents of this vicinity.

DIFFICULT TO PROVE WHO
SHOT NEGRO At CLAYTON
DEPUTY ATTORNEY SATTFR-
FIELD QUESTIONS WITNESSES
SO Many Shots Fired and So MANY
Had Pistols, 1t Seems Impossible to
Fix The Guilt on ANYBODY.

Deputy Attorney General James
M. Satterfeld, had several witnesses
before him at Dover Monday, in the
case of the negro Columbus jackson
who was shot at Clayton on SUNDAY.
July 18th, while fleeing from arrest
on suspicion of selling liquor in vio-
latlon of law. From the evidence sub-
mItted to Mr.. Satterfield it was learned
that Constable William M. Bower fired
several shots at the fleeing negro. and
that others in the crowd also dis
charged pistols. John Arthurs of Ken
ton testified that he fired some shots.
but In different direction from that
IN which jackson was running. Ac-
cordlng to Mr.. Arthurs' statement. if
does not seem possible that Constable
Boyer shot the negro, as after Bower
had fired several shots, the negro.
who was running toward a cornfeld.
stopped, and when Arthurs caught up
to him he was still standing. Arthur
engaged in conversation with him for
a minute or more, telling jackson he
had better turn around and give him
self up to the officers. After resting
a few seconds, Jackson crawled
through the fence and ran in the
cornfield, and while he was in the
corntield several more shots were fired
by different persons. When jackson
was finally apprehended he arose and
walked to the fence and jumped in
the carriage without assistance. The
autopsy showed that the bullet had
penetrated the kidneys and liver and
finally dropped into the stomach.
With this information at hand manv
persons are wondering WHY it was
that pistols should have been so plenti- 1
tul among this ordinary Sunday atten-
dance around and about the railroad
station at Clayton, and why those /
who were thus so unlawfully armed
should have deemed it necessary to
shoot at the fleeing negro as though
ne had been desperate and dangerous
criminal.
