trict Attorney Langdon has filed no.
tice with Ruef's attorneys that tomor-

point a commission TO take the depo
sition of Artie Latham, formerly RuefS
chauffeur who is supposed to know the
details of the passing of bribe money

The motion is based on affidavits
from Detective Burns and others, to
tie effect that Latham is very anxious
to leave the city and that his testi

the prosecution. The defense will re-
sist this move as they allege that the
prosecution has ulterior motives in
having Latnam's testimony taken at
this time instead of directly at the time

ASKS 100000
FOR COLUMBIA
GOVERNMENT ENGINEERS TO
TAKE STEPS TO PUT RIVER
IN NAvlGABLE SHAPE.

SPOKANE, Jan. 24.-That an imme-
diate appropriation for the opening up
of the Columbia river from Wenatchee
to Kettle Falls viii be asked by the
government engineers. who. after
weeks work have completed their sur
vey of the river between the two points
is the statement made today by j. B.
Valentine, vice president of the Me-
thoW Canal company. who has returned
to Spokane after making the trip with
the engineers.
In my opinion about 5000 0OO will be
required for immediate work." stated
engineers had not completed their fig
ures, and l do not know how much of
an appropriation they will ask for,
think that it will be near that figure.
1T took us eight days to make the
trip from Wenatchee to Kettle Falls
The river was quite low in places. but
it was higher than the engineers ex-
pected to find it. We met with only
one accident on the trip. and for a
while it was exciting. While ascend
ing rapids the steam pipe on the boat
burst, but we managed to land in safe
ty and save the boat. The people at
Clifford. Daisy and Kettle Falls met
us with brass bands, and the people
in that section are much pleased over
the bright outlook for the opening of
the river
1t is probable that about million
dollars will be ultimately needed to
put the river in navigable shape so
that large boats can be operated on it
all times during the year With the
expenditure of about $20O0OO now the
river can be navigated by fairly large
sized boats about nine months in the
year.
1t is only a question of time. and to
my mind a very short time until the
river will be opened up clear to the
international boundary. There is prac-
tically no work to be done above Ket-
tie Falls. and the falls themselves
could. / believe, be locked very easily.
1T is the intention of Wenatchee to
put on line of boats to Kettle Falls
in the spring
