THEY Do It IN
CITY Of SEATTLE
GREAT NORTHERN RAILWAY AL.
LOWED TO LAY RAILS ON OC-
CIDENTAL AVENUE - SAME
PRIVILEGE ASKED HERE.

That the privileges of laying side.
tracks by a railroad company is not
confined to small cities alone is evil
iencei by the fact that the Grea.
Northern Railway company was re-
GENTLY granted permit for laying
a sidetrack on Occidental avenue, Sc
attic. The request of the railroad
company was very similar to the one
that was presented to the city coun-
Gil of Wenatchee a few weeks ago
and which is under consideration by
the city council. The following is
taken from Seattle paper and shows
how such matters are handled in a
city:
1.-THE board of public works yester-
day gave the Great Northern Railway
company permission to construct a
spur track on Occidental avenue, be.
tween King street and Railroad way.
The purpose of the track is to serve
the business house built on First
avenue south, and those proposed
having rear entrances on Occidental
avenue. The application for the per-
NIT was filed several months ago
but because the board objected to CIV
ing up part of a street for railroad
tracks, the permit was held up. Yes.
terday 1t was represented to the
board that several wholesale houses
would shortly be built with rear en-.
frances on Occidental avenue. Owing
to the fact that the existing building;
come to the street line, the board ie-
cided to grant the permit, and not tc
insist that the tracks be laid on pri-
vate property. 1t is planned to con.
struct the spur track on the west
side of the avenue, so that freight
may be unloaded directly into the
wholesale houses"

NORTHERN
TANK EXPL0DES

Passengers who arrived here this
morning on No. 2, east-bOund, tell of
an exciting time early this morning,
just on the other side of the summit,
near Skykomish. The gas tank in
the observation car exploded and set
the car on fire. The flames were
finally subdued but only after the OBJ
servation car was badly damaged. It
was uncoupled from the balance of
the train. One entire corner of the
car was burned off and the wood
work of the entire car was ruined.
The train was delayed about an hour
at Skykomish and the car was taken
to Spokane for repairs.

The following editorial from the

indication of the more enlightened
feeling of the East toward the west:
The North American would be the

COMMITTEE FAvORS THE

Very Favorable Report on the Pur-

Bird ge-Gives History of Big Local
Enterprise.

Recently a committee of Waterville
citizens, representing the Waterville
Commercial club, was in this city con-
ferring with the local Commercial
club, regarding united action for
legislation affecting both Wenatchee
and Waterville Among the matters
discussed were that of the state pur-
chase of the Columbia river bridge
and the location of the state east and
west highway through this section.
The following is the report of the
committee to the Waterville club:
I'VE, your committee, appointed to
meet a committee of the commercial
club of Wenatchee in a conference
over the Columbia river wagon bridge
and State Highway matters, beg
leave to report as follows:
1--WE met the Chelan county COM
mittee at Wenatchee on Monday eve
ming, Dec. IA, and soon adjusted in
an amicable manner the points of
difference heretofore existing between
the two committees over the bridge
matter.
''In order that the situation may
be understood, brief historical re-
view of the events leading up to the
present conditions is necessary.
''In the year 1898, the Great North
ern built it's railway through We
natchee valley to Puget Sound At
that time and for several years there
after, the town Of Wenatchee was a
struggling village surrounded by a
dreary and forbidding waste of sage
brush and sand.

experienced irrigation and ditch man,
and born promoter, visited the place,

ARE TALKING TELEPHONE.

A large number of Southside peo-
pie are in session today talking over
plans for a telephone system. There
is great diversity of opinions
among thes people. There are num-
Der who want to utilize the barb wire
fences for telephone purposes, while
others are insisting that nothing
should be put in on the east side Of
the river but first class system. It
is problem as to whether or not the
Southside people can get together on
anything as there seems to be great
diversity of opinion.

AGAIN PRINTED BY REQUEST
Recipe is Easily Prepared at Small Cost,
and Many Swear By II.

Mix the following by shaking well
in a bottle, and take in teaspoonful
doses after meals and at bedtime:
Fluid Extract Dandelion, one half
ounce; Compound Kargon, one ounce;
Compound Syrup Sarsapanlla, three
ounces. A local druggist is the
authority that these simple, harmless
ingredients can be obtained at nominal
cost from our home druggists.
The mixture is said to cleanse and
strengthen the clogged and inactive
kidneys, overcoming backache, blad-
der weakness and urinary trouble of
all kinds, if taken before the stage of
Bright's disease.
Those who have tried this say it pos
itively overcomes pain in the back,
clears the urine of sediment and regu-
lates urination, especially at night,
curing even the worst forms of bladder
weakness.
Every man or woman here who feels
that the kidneys are not strong or act
ing in healthy manner should mix
this prescription at home and give it a
trial, as it is said to do wonders for
many persons.
The Scranton pa Times was first
to print this remarkable prescription,
in October, of 1906, since when al the
leading newspapers If New York, Bos-
ton, Philadelphia, Pittsburg and other
cities have made many announcements

sweetly? II not the latter, WHY has
his been the most extrsvagant admin
istration since Brownlow's, and created
more new offices than any need for,

GROWTH OF THE ELKS
From Seven to One of the Worlds Big.
geSt Organizations.

From seven 10 Une OF the WOfI0S Big
geSt Organizations.
AT the last annual reunion of the
Order Of Elks fifty thousand persons
gathered one evening in q court of
court of honor, brilliant with thous-
ands Of electric lights, and ernamented
with colossal images of Elks and col
umns bearing the mystic symbol of
clock with hands pointing to eleven.
One minute before that hour the thous-
ands of incandescent lights faded for
moment into rosy horseshoe, then
disappeared. The hour struck. The
great crowd stood, hushed and waiting,
in the darkness. Slowly the hancs on
the moonlike dials of the Philadelphia
City Hall clock pointed to one minute
after eleven. At signal, says the
New Broadway Magazine, in an inter-
esting article in the January number,
the thousands of lights flashed out
again in scintillating splendor; the
thousands of people sang "Auld Lang
Syne," vibrating higher and higher
from skyscrsper to skyscraper, the
song was finally merged into roar
of titanic melody.
Eleven O'Clock. "Should auld ac-
quaintance be forgot" The hour
and the words were symbols of the
very essence of the Benevolent and
Protective Order of Elks. The spirit
of the seven original members in lit
tie room in the Bowery, New York,
thirty-niDe years ago, had spread to a
thousand American cities and towns.
1t had taught brotherhood to men in
the pine woods OF Maine and the
banana groves of Porto Rico. The
passwordof the Elks had been heard in
the snowy passes OF the Klondyke and
the miasmic swamps of the Philip
pines. Then Elkdom gathered for this
expression of brotherhood in one ol
the most remarkable organizations oi
its kind in the world.
1t is doubtful if the Elks could have
been born in any American city excep
New York. The mingling of many
nations, 80 characteristic of the metrop
oils, gave it life. Protests against for
eign influence added a distinct Ameri
canism, which is one of its leading
features. AS theatrical center, New
York supplied the necessary quota o
players and jolly good fellows. Mum
bers meant backbone. Perhaps, too
it was the raw wound of adversely, OK
posed in New York with franknes
found in few other cities, that move,
the founders of the Elks to give th
order another leading feature-an ope
purse to the needy.
Yet the admirable qualities whic
have made the Elks 80 popula
