scented himself to be, bought a $50

paying nothing down, agreeing to make
the first payment February Is. He then
sold the stove to Nj. YOudovitch on
Monday for $12. representing himself
to be j. H. Haskell, receiving a check
grocery.
When YOudovitch went to clean up
the stove hes found there had never
been a fire in it and more than that
he found the bill for $33. made out to
Right. He at once notified the Da-
vis-kaSer company and warrant was
sworn out for the guilty man. who
when found said his name was c. w.
Bingham and that he knew nothing of
the stove in question.
He was positively identified. how
ever, by John Harvey and A. Anderson

During the afternoon the reporter
interviewed many of the callers and

Whereas. a dam, if built by the gov
eminent, would probably be much
| higher and produce many more thous-
ands of horsepower than what the linn
i tied finances of a private company
would probably admit of;
Whereas, if such a dam be built by
a private company, power therefrom
would probably not be devoted to the
irrigation of arid lands above low ele
vations, as it would be more profitable
tor the company to use what power
that would be necessary therefoD for
other purposes;
Whereas, irrigation under private
companies is not as satisfactory as that
under irrigation districts or govern
mental projects;
Whereas, in our opinion, the navig-
able rivers of the country should be
developed as national water highways,
and dams as incidents to such devel-
opment should be constructed to pro-
duce thousands of horsepower, as re-
commended to congress by the presi
dent
Whereas, in our opinion, the water
powers that may be produced as in
cidents to the development of the nav
igable rivers of the country should be
under such control by the govern
ment that the most beneficial use there
of to the country will be obtained, as
otherwise they probably would fall

Whereas, the citizens of Two Riv-

veLtion assembled, recently adopted
resolutions respecting the subject mat
ter of a dam across Snake river at
Five Mile apids. which we approve
of and most heartily endorse;
Now, therefore, be it resolved by
the Commercial club of Wallula,

spectfully and earnestly petition con-
greSs to provide for an investigation
as to the advisability of a dam across
Snake river at Five Mile Rapids. ard,
if it be found advisable. for the con-
struction thereof by the government,
ment be not approved. that it may be
constructed by an irrigation district
or districts or private company, with
a preference to be given the former
ment and disposition of the power
produced by such dam under rules
and regulations that would improve
Snake river as national water high
way. and that would secure the most
beneficial use of such power. and that
would enable the government to regu-
late at all such times the rates that
'may be charged consumers of such
power;
THAT these resolutions be sent to
Senator Ankeny with a request most
respectfully made that he submit this
petition to congress:
That a copy of these resolutions be
sent to the president and to the sec
