WON THE DEBAT-
ING CONTEST
WENATCHEE TEAM SECURED Fla.
VORABLE DECISION FROM TWO
OF THE THREE JUDGES.-RE.
CEPTION AFTERWARDS.

Wenatchee was victorious last
night in the debating contest with
Waterville. Two of the three judges
were for Wenatchee. The decision
was very agreeable to Waterville,
and there was no complaint at all.
1t was generally conceded that the
local team, consisting of MARI, Gar
rett and Baptie, put up the better ar
gument.
Following the debate a reception
was rendered the visitors at the hall
room, and a very pleasant time was
enjoyed
Prof. Chas. Timblin, of the Cheney
Normal, here to attend the institute,
was one of the judges, and drove to
Waterville with Superintendent
Brown. The other judges were G.
E. Steiner, of Seattle, and Prof. Tor
ney, of Spokane.
The date nor place of the next
contest has not as yet been announc-
ed. In the contest with Waterville
the local team had the negative of
the question: Resolved, That labor
unions are justified in maintaining
by every means within their power
the closed shop" The next debate
the local team will have the afarma-
tive Of the same xrhject.

MONEY IS MORE
PLENTIFUL
LOAN AGENTS SAY THERE Is ANY
AMOUNT OF MONEY AVAIL
ABLE FOR USE IN THIS COUN-
TRY.

John S. Mooney says that money
conditions have changed very mate
rally since election. He represents
a number of companies that have a
great deal of money out on farm
lands. Prior to election the compa-
MES were not anxious to put out any
new loans, but since the election all
of the loan companies, not only
those represented by Mr.. Mooney,
but those handled by John A. Gel
latly and Frank Keller, have writ
ten to the local agents to send in
everything that is safe. They will
put out money here without limit.
Mr.. Money stated mat a change in
the issuing of final proof receipts had
worked hardship upon some of
the settlers who have homesteaiej.
Since last July a new form receipt
has been issued by the government
1t is not receipt in full for all
claims against the homesteader, but
the receipt is made TO apply on pay
ment." Under the old conditions 1t
was possible for a homesteader to
borrow money in order to make fin
al communication proof, but the loan
companies will not advance money
on the new receipts.

BUMPER CROP
WHEAT IN SIGHT
PROMISING FOR BIC:
GRAIN OUTPUT IN SOUTH
DOUGLAS COUNTY.

Ephrata, Nov. 17.-Not for many
seasons have conditions been so
promising nor prospects SO good in
Central Douglas county for big
wheat crop next summer, according
to the report brought in by r. F. Hill.
superintendent of roads in this local
ity, who has just returned from a
long tour of road inspection toward
the southern border of the county.
Mr.. Hill states that winter wheat is
three or four inches above ground
and looking hardy and strong to
withstand the cold weather.
The October rains were boon to
the farmers of Central Douglas,
coming, as they did, after an abso-
lutte drought, extending from July 20
over thirteen weeks. They not only
put the summer fallow in excellent
shape for working, but give a start
to the winter seed, which had lain
practically dormant. More than
that, fields which, owing to extreme
dryness, would scarcely retain a
pillow point, were so thoroughly soft
ened that they were in perfect con-
ditiOn for blowing, and, in conse-
Quence there was tremendous rush
&c activity. Farmers who had been
watching for rain, reluctant to. risk
their seed in the ground, sowed at
once, and now all the winter wheat
planted is up and doing finely.
The signs never pointed more GER
tainly to a yield for the coming sea-
son such as to make it memorable
one and to give the ranchers SUBJ
stantial taste of the good times that
prevail in the Palouse. 1t will be
the more appreciated by the Doug
las county farmer from the fact that
this is to be hard winter. This fall
Ephrata is shipping to the coast only
100000 bushels of wheat, owing to
the drought of the summer months,
as against 100000 in the fall of
1907.

OVER A MILLION
ACRES LAND
CHELAN COUNTY HAS VAST BODY
OF LAND IN WASHINGTON FOR
TAXES TO STATE OR COUNTY.

Land Commissioner E. w. Ross
has just completed a memorandum
showing the effect of the recent or
der of President Roosevelt in making
important changes in the boundaries
of the national forest reserves in this
state. These reserves today aggre-
gate II 100000 acres. The reserve
land in Chelan county is part of
the Washington Forest Reserve,
which includes 6,130,740 acres, as
follows: Okanogan, 1,717,44O acres; ;
Chelan, 1,594,000 acres; Snohomish,
797,7S0 acres; Skagit, 495. $50 acres
and Whatcom 940,96O acres.
incidentally it may be pointed out
that these reserves, of course, are
under exclusive federal control and
this vast acreage is withdrawn from
entry or sale Indefinitely, and the
property, of course, is thereby pre-
vented from becoming subject to tax
alton.
The reserve, of course, also, tenn
porarily at least, robs the common
inheritance. Under the enabling
act, two sections in every township
were granted to the state for COM
mon schools to form permanent
fund for the education of the chill
iren of the state, and these lands
could be sold at not less than $40
peracre Actually school timbered
lands that have been sold in Wash
ington have brought much more than
$40 per acre.
OF these reserves, however, one
sixteenth actually belongs to the
common school grant. This sixteenth
of the above aggregates 7OS, 40
acres, which at the minimum of $40
per acre means an aggregate of ST.
0S1, 400 worth of property belonging
to the school children of the state
now withheld from them by federal
authorities. Probably the actual
! value is several times greater, as
these reserves are supposed to in
clude some of the best timber lands
in the state.

FRED REEVES A MEMBER OF
GOVERNING BOARD OF STATE
TABLISHED.

Fred Reeves, who is a member of
the governing board of the state re-
formatory at Monroe, attended the
monthly meeting of the board, held
at Monroe, last Friday and Saturday,
and is very enthusiastic over the
future of this character of state
establishment.
Plans have been completed for the
permanent buildings at Monroe. The
Inauguration of the reformatory in
this state was the result of careful
investigation by Gov Albert e.
Mead, who recommended the plan
in his message to the legislature, by
Frank C. Jackson, the father of the
act creating this institution, COrwin
s. Shank and others; and the work.
ing plan of the institution will in
clude the best features of the sys-
tenn as in vogue in the Eastern a1j
Central states where refOrmatOries
are established.
Among other features of the
system are the , indetermina.te
sentence of prisoners, the grading of
inmates and the merit system de-
signed for reclamation of the I'M
unfortunate and the protection of
society.
The act provides for board of
managers, which has been appointed
by the governor, consisting of five
members, namely: Corwin S. Shank.
of Seattle, president; Fred Reeves, of
Wenatchee, vice-president; Frank c.
Jackson, of Seattle, secretary; John
Hanson, of Everett, and M. A. LANCE
horn, of Tacoma.
Following the completion of
temporary buildings by the state
board of control, and the turning
over of the institution by the state
board of control to the board of
managers, Cleon B. Roe was ap-
pointed superintendent. Mr.. Roe
was for some years assistant super
intendent of similar institution in
West Virginia.
The institution already has thirty
eight inmates, most of whom are
now employed in the clearing of the
site for the new building to be
erected, the clearing of the land for
agriculture purposes and the collect
ing of material. such as sand and
gravel. timbers, etc., and the erec-

ton of the brick plant and the manu-
facture of brick and other materials
to go into the construction of the
new building.
August 1908,. the institution was
thrown open to the sentencing of
men from the courts of the state,
and it will be necessary for the next
legislature to provide adequate ac-
commOdatiOns for the care of these
men.
At a joint meeting of the board
of managers with the state board
of control, held in Seattle October
2, a budget for the next two years,
which include an appropriation for
maintenance, and only on such build
ings as are absolutely necessary for
caring for the prisoners who viii be
sentenced in the next two years, was
made up. This budget includes
about $4,000 for maintenance for
the next two years and about $3.50
900 for necessary buildings. AS all
these appropriations are large, it will
mean much smaller appropriation
for maintenance at the penitentiary
than would otherwise have been
necessary, as it is estimated that in
the past twelve months 500 men
were sent to the penitentiary who
would have been eligible to the re-
formatory had it been open to the
sentencing of prisoners. 1t is be-
lieved by the promoters of the re-
formatory that the money expended
in this institution will be returned
tenfold to the state in the reforma
ton of the inmates of the institu-
ton. While it has been shown that
under the prison system only % per
cent. of the sentenced are reformed,
it has been shown by years of ex-
perience in the Middle and Eastern
states that from Is to 80 per cent.
are reformed and become useful
Icitizens.
1t is expected by the management
of the new reformatory that within
the next two years, the population
of this institution will increase to at
least 40 inmates, and within six or
eight years this will be the largest
institution in the state.

KICKS At NEWS
PAPER ACCOUNT
BALLARD COACH SAYS NEWS.
PAPERS DID NOT GIVE HIS
TEAM A FAIR WRITEUP OF
GAME LAST SATURDAY.

In the opinion of S. Edgar Flem-
ing, coach of the Ballard High School
football team, that plucky little ag-
gregation of gridiron warriors is not
receiving credit for what it is doing
this season. He protests that the
newspapers did not give the Ballard
high school boys square deal.
Fleming says:
81 am interested in the Ballard
team, naturally, and was annoyed by
the account of the Wenatchee-Ballard
game last Saturday. The article
conveyed the impression that Wenat-
chez had it's opponents OF its mercy
at all times during the game. AS
a matter of fact, to anyone familiar
with the game, the score of 10 to
is denial enough of the fact.
1.-THE account forgot to mention
that Wenatchee outweighed Ballard
ten pounds to the man, that both
halves ended with the ball in Wenat-
chez territory; that on a fake place
kick, Wood, Billiards. 11O-pound
end, received a forward pass, and
carried the ball to the five-yard line
when time was called; that Wenat-
chez failed every time on the. out
side kick and all but once In the for
ward pass; that ellis. formerly
Broadway's star end, was the only
consistent ground gamer for Wenat-
chez.

S1O0 PER MONTH
FOR ADVERTISING
COMMERCIAL CLUB TO MAIN
TAIN EXHIBIT AT SEATTLE
j. W. QUIGG SELECTED AS DEL
EGATE TO GOOD ROADS CON-
VENTION.

There was an enthusiastic lot of
business men at the meeting of the
Commercial Club last night 1t was
the sense of the members present
that more advertising should be
done, especially in the places where
it would be effective. The club has
been keeping up a display booth in
Spokane for the past year. Some OF
the members have felt for some time
that the SO for. booth rent at Spo-
kane was waste of money. mas
much as Spokane is largely interest
ed in the sale of irrigated land i'm
mediately adjacent to the city and
in direct competition with Wenat-
chez, the members of the club feel
as though this valley was not getting
value received for the advertising
done in Spokane. Seattle was con-
sidered a better field for advertising
purposes than Spokane, and especial
1y will that be true during the COM
ing season when that city is filled
with fair visitors. w. T. Clark
made a strong talk for still maintain
ing the exhibit at Spokane, but
stated that if the club would place
on exhibit in Seattle for the coming
year that the Wenatchee Canal CON-
pany would take care of the cost of
keeping one in Spokane. A subscrip-
ton list was prepared and about $50
per month pledged last night for the
Seattle exhibit, and committee will
canvas the city today and it is
thought that 500 per month can
he secured for Dlacing two or three
exhibits in different portions of Sc
attic.
The list of donors to this fund
who subscribed last night, is as fol-
lows:
The Wenatchee daily world. [volume] (Wenatchee, Wash.) 1905-1971, 1908-11-17

The members of the committee
feel assured that the amount of the
donations can be raised to 500 per
month.
J. w. Quigg was selected to go to
the Good Roads Convention at Ken
newick this week as a delegate from
the Commercial club. The secretary
of the club also was instructed to
write the clubs of Chelan, Cashmere
and Leavenworth advising them not
to neglect to have delegates present
at this meeting. The club went on
record as very strongly in favor OF
the state road following the location
as outlined by State Highway Com
missioner Snow, coming from Easton
to Blewett down the Wenatchee river
to Wenatchee and then across the
Big Bend to Spokane and the Ida
no line. Mr.. Quigg was selected as
the delegate on account OF his ia
miliarity with the country through
which the road is supposed to pass.
He says that the route from the Cas-
cades eastward, especially that part
as far east as Wenatchee, is one OF
great scenic beauty. From here 1t
passes through a populous section
and is a direct route.
The matter of attendance at the
National Apple Show, Spokane, was
discussed and it was thought that
the club should go in body and
charter a special car for this pur-
pose. No definite action was taken
on this matter but it will come up
later.

ONE DEATH FROM AUTO ACCl
DENT,

The mortality from the Spokane
auto accident on Sunday night has
been confined to a single life, that
of Miss Mary Nichols. The others
of the party are going to recover:
The dead teacher had number OF
friends in this city and the news OF
the fatal plunge cast gloom over
the city.
A number of people got the name
wrong. The dead girl was a sister or
Miss Nichols, who taught in the
schools here several years ago and
afterwards wed w. L. Wester. From
here they went to Waterville, where
Mr.. Wester was in charge OF the
the schools for a couple OF years.
The impression became current last
night after reading the World that
Nichols family were relatives OF II.
l.. WEBSTER of this city; but this was
an error.
