BIG INCREASE
IN LUMBER SALES
LOCAL DEALERS SAY THAT
BUILDING HAS BEEN MUCH
PROSPECTS GOOD.

AS an indication of the increase in
the building operations in this val
vel -. w. Smith, of the Columbia
River company, stated this morning
that the company sales from the To-
cal yard from November 1, 1907, to
November 1, 1908, were 100000
feet greater than they were the pre-
ceding year, and the sales are not
diminishing, though the building
season for the year is supposed TO
be pretty nearly over. Mr.. Smith
stated that the demand for lumber
is so great that last week there were
seven cars of lumber side-tracked at
the yards here, and the cars were I'M
loaded by the fruit growers them
selves, as they were in such a rush
for the lumber that they could not
wait for the lumber to be piled in
the yard.
Other dealers have had the same
experience There is an unprecedent-
ed amount of building going on all
over the valley. This is not confined
to the town alone, but handsome
new homes are going up all over the
valley.

.N0L0P CASE TO
/. Be HEARD JAN. 4
JUDGE STEINER FIXED DATE OF
PLAINTIFFS WANTED TO DE-
LAY THE TRIAL.

Judge Steiner this morning on mo-
INTO of Reeves & Reeves and Thomas
& Sorenson, representing some $50
defendants in the case of the Nolop
heirs VS.. the owners of a portion of
the Wenatchee townsite, set the date
for hearing the case for January 4.
1t is estimated that it will take a
week to hear the case, and if it
should be started on January 4 the
case would last up to January II, at
which time Judge Steiner will re-
linquish his judicial duties in this
county The attorneys for the No
lop heirs wanted to still further de-
lay the case, alleging that all of the
defendants had not been served yet,
but inasmuch as the case clouds the
title of a large portion of the land
within the corporation, Judge Stein
er has decided to hurry the case to
trial.

VOTED TO. SELL
SCHOOL SITE
THERE WERE BUT 5j VOTES OP-
POSED TO SELLING HIGH
TION HELD LAST SATURDAY.

The voters at the school election
held last Saturday authorized the
school board to sell the present high
school site in Grand View addition.
There were but 50 votes opposed to
the proposition and 176 votes in ia
vor of it. The law requires a two
third vote in order to carry PROPOSE
lions of this nature, so that there
were not many votes to spare
The members of the school board
are pleased with the outcome of the
vote. 1t will allow them to sell the
present site of about one acre in
Grand Wed addition for about $4,000,
and with $4,000 the board can secure
just as sitely and convenient a site
little west from the present one. In
other words with double the money
realized from the sale of one acre
the board can buy four acres.
The next move of the board will

zens to discuss and agree upon GER
tain propositions relative to the
schools. This being done, the next
matter will be another election to
vote the bonds as required by the
propositions. The questions to be
discussed at the mass meeting are as
follows:
1. Shall the board be authorized
to buy a site for grade school in
the south end of the district? (Near
Padoshek's or Pools places.)
2. Shall the board be authorized
to erect a grade school building on
said south end site?
3. Shall the board be authorized
to buy a high school site?
4. Shall the board be authorize

ton the wonderful personality of the
singer and her singular power to
move her audience at will either to
smiles or tears Her program is
composed of songs rendered in five
different languages. But the dra-
matte power of the artist, coupled
with the wondrous sympathy of her
glorious voice carry the emotional
content of her soul to the hearts of
her audience despite the hearers ig-
norance of the language she sings.
However, liberal number of English
songs and ballads are included in the
program for Wenatchee.
To be used solely in this concert,
the D. S. Johnston Co. of Seattle are
shipping a Chickering grand concert
piano. To preside at this fine in
strument Wenatchee people will have
another fine artist in the person Of
Miss Frances Bachelor, whose work
is of distinguished character.
1t is unfortunate that two such
strong concert events should be
booked for succeeding evenings. But
that is a matter not under the con-
troll of local people. And the utter
scarcity of musical attractions of SUI
perior merit made it imperative not
to lose either one of these splendid
attractions Undoubtedly each OF
them will be greeted by large and ap-
preciative audiences.

not a serious matter, not as serious
as most people imagined. He stated
that lumber dealers here were pay
ing 50 per thousand more for lumber
than they were couple of months
ago but yet prices had not advanced.
Naturally, if the Sound dealers are
going to make a general advance, as
seems likely, prices will have to be
advanced here, bnt that is not go
ing to prove any great handicap to
building operations. Says he: "Peo-
pie do not realize thatl0,000 feet of
lumber will put up a big house, and
that if lumber should advance s. a
thousand the additional cost of the
lumber in the house would not be
over $50. This would hurt nobody
very badly, and would keep but few
people from building. l dare say
that the extra cost of a building the
size of the Olympia hotel would not
be over $50 in case of s. per thou
sand advance On account of the ad-
vance in labor on the Sound and the
large orders received from the mills
| look for lumber advance here, but
it will make little difference in the
building operations of the valley"

CITY ELECTION
TOMORROW
But LITTLE CONTEST ON AND
CITY ELECTION IS LIKELY TO
VOTERS,

There never has been a municipal
election in Wenatchee for many
years where there is as little interest
be ng manifested as the one this year.
I his is due in part to the fact that
there is no contest for the hea Is Of
lie ticket. Mayor Gellatly has no oD-
POSITION. Neither have Clerk Sum-
ner, Treasurer r. H. Nowlan, Atto:-
Ley Louis CrOllard, nor Councilman
at-Large Holcomb. The only chance
for friction is over the two-yeai
conncilmanic term, for which there
have been nominated by the republi
cans Ed. S. Russell! and Terry Ross,
aid on the Peoples Party ticket, H.
Thomas, J. S. Albin and J. H Ne
Gohan.
The candidates have made no can
vas and have expressed themselves
thai they did not care whether or not
they were elected. As far as munich
ral Improvement is concerned the
city government is safe in the han1s
OF any of the men nominated. They
TALL stand on the issue of making We
natcLee abeter looking city.
The only issue that has been raj eel
lis that of closing the saloons in the
city. Individually the candidates On
The Peoples party ticket are for a
c.osei town. They believe that the
|rity can get along without the sa-
icons. One candidate only, however,
has said that he would vote to do
away with them at once. They have
*aid that they would acquaint them
selves with conditions here and vote
Tor what they considered was the
best for the city.
Messrs. Russell and Ross have not
committed themselves on the saloon
question and say that if elected thai
they will use their best judgment in
this matter.
The three holi-over members Of
the council are H. r. Parshall, c. E.
Buttles and G. NJ. Russi. The re-

ct never rains but it pours," runs
Wenatchee have been clamoring for
some first-class musical entertain
ment. There has been scarcely any
of it so far this season, and only one
concert is booked for after the holt
days. 1t is in late March But next
week there are two feasts. On Mon
day evening the Schubert-Symphony
club appears at the theatre under
Ladies' Aid Society of the Pres
byterian church. The company
comes very highly recommended,
and an enjoyable entertainment is
expected. The program consists of
varied selections by a ladies vocal
quartet, a mandolin-guitar club, a
violin soloist and a talented lady
reader. Already large number of
tickets have been subscribed for this
concert, and the ladies feel assured
of successful event.
On Tuesday evening, the 18th, the
new management of the Wenatchee
theatre will introduce to the many
music lovers of the valley a singer of
world-great fame in the person of
Mile. Sigrid Westerlind, a Finnish
prima donna, who came to this coun-
try only eight months ago, after re-
peatedly successful tours through
Europe Though in this country for
so short time, the great vocal artist
is already Americanized. She enjoyed
a decided advantage over most for
eigners in that she had mastered
the English language before seeing
our shores.

SAY GRAFT INVESTIGATION
WILL DISRUPT UNION

That the investigation of politi-
cal graft among labor men, now
going on, will result in disruption
of the present central body and
the organization of a new one, is
the prediction of j. e. McCracken,
member of the labor temple COM
mittee.
McCracken said this morning
that he was willing to bet that the
investigating committee would not
get far in it's work. Secretary
Corcoran of the temple committee
added that in his opinion there
was so much other unfavorable
matter which might come to light
through the continuance of the
present investigation, that it
would probably be dropped for
that reason.
John McChesney, chairman Of
the political committee who pro-
voked the investigation, has been
working in conjunction with the
committee to secure evidence. He
claims that nothing has been done
that the committee will divul;.s at
this time.
The investigation committee
met last night at 612 Riverside
and deliberated over some evil
dence. Just what this evidence is
the members will not state.
The central body is in state
of disruption and leaders of the
individual unions are taking sides,
some with and some against the
investigating committee. Those
opposed to the work of the COM
mittee claim the unions acted
without power in the appointment
of a committee.
Tom Joyce, the only man the
investigating committee openly
accuses of grating. declares that
his threatened arrest will never
be brought about. He denies that
he made overtures to Gordon Cor
bailey, who has made affidavit that
Joyce demanded $500 to influence
the union vote for Mcbride.
j. w. Macarthur, republican
nominee for the legislature, who
was approached by a labor leader,
returned from a hunting trip last
night, and today stated that he
told members of the investigating
committee that he was willing to
go before that body and give evil
dence against the man who offer
ed to do business with him, and
further signified his readiness to
give the same information to the
prosecuting attorney. Macarthur

At the beginning of their work on

FOR ANY CANDIDATE THAT
STANDS FOR LOCAL OPTION

Anti-saloon men are preparing to
invade every legislative district
where there is chance to win,
but some districts are to be aban-
doned to the enemy" because, ac-
cording to Royal W. Hammond, SUI
perintendent of the state league,
there is no chance to carry them.
The fight is to be nonpartisan. IL
the republican does not meet the
requirements of the league, the
democratic nominee will be looked
over, and if he does not fill the bill
the socialist will have a chance to
prove that he is good local OPP
ZIONIST and get the support of the
reformers.
The list is in process of prepare
ton and will be published as soon
as the committee representing the
league is fully satisfied that it has
selected the best available men for
support.
Mr.. Raymond said he would
leave the Forty-fourth district to
it's fate, as none of the nominees
is exactly satisfactory to him, al
though the democrat agrees to vote
for the submission of the question
of a prohibitory amendment to the
constitution to the voters and both
the republicans say they will stand
by the platform adopted at Spo-
kane, which incorporated a local
option plank. The Forty-fifth will
