PASCO WIRES

Commercial Club Asks Redemption of
PrOmise.-Seeks Passage of
Benton Dam Bill.

Pasco, Wash, April 13.-Pasco
people have asked Roosevelt to re-
deem a promise made four years ago.
While speaking from his private car
here in 1904 Roosevelt was presented
with a crate of fine strawberries from
the only spot irrigated in this section
of the country, and his attention was
called to the fact that the entire In
land Empire would produce just such
berries with irrigation. He then prom
ised the people of the Columbia river
valley that he would do all in his
power for irrigation.
The people of Pasco now have set
their only hopes of supply of water
in the construction of the Snake river
dam at Five Mile rapids. The prom
ise made by Roosevelt at the time of
his visit to Pasco is brought to his
attention in the following telegram
sent to him by the Pasco CONNER
cial club:

Editor Daily World:
The question of advertising the
city was brought up and discussed at
the meeting of the Commercial club
last night by Mr.. Dallach. There
were several things which l would
like to have said at that time but did
your attention to the following mat
ters which ought to interest the peo-
people of this community.
One thing to which l refer is the
fact that money is being spent to ad-
vertise the town. and there are those
who are making their living in We
natchee (and some who never had
any money before coming here) who
are now sending people out of the
state for the commission there is in
it. | know this section Of the state
cannot be beat as place for the
prospective homeseeker. ! don I like
TO see a Wenatchee man spending his
time in urging people to locate in
Oregon or Idaho, even though there
is a good fat commission in it for
him.
Another matter which bears upon
the question Of advertising to which
I wish to call your attention is this:
4 man from the Sound, who expected
10 locate here, was discouraged from
doing so on account of the fact that
a local company, in its advertisement
in the World, stated the water in the
city was filthy. This class of adyer-
tising can not fail to bring much
n q ,-l17 ~ fhn rom muuitV
The man in question had s12 900
which he expected to invest here.
All We want in Wenatchee is
money and men to develop the coun-
try. Anything which tends to dis
courage capital and population is det-
rimental.
Yours, for Wenatchee first,
PERCY WALKER.

COM NERC|AL CLUB
HOLDS 4 MEETING
Gum, Reeves, Case, Dallach, Scheble
and Others Talk on Matters of
Public Interest.

The regular monthly meeting oi
the Wenatchee Commercial club was
held last night at the club quarters
A full house was present when the
president, George R. Fisher, called
the meeting to order.
Senator Gum, the first man called
upon, talked ON the advantages OF
Organization" He brought out the
following points:
Club organization brings out the
live men in the community. Gener-
ally speaking, there are few live men
in a community who are not found
in the commercial club.
In union there is strength. This
is a principle so well known that ii
needs no further discussion.
The club affords an opportunity
for an exchange of thought on mat
ters of mutual interest. Here is a
chance for the uniting of capital
brains and character.
1t is a place where ideas may be
brought together. An idea is of nc
value unless brought into practice.
1t inculcates self-respect in a COM
munity. Here is place where the
interests of the whole community
may be centred.
Frank Reeves spoke on the impor-
tance of keeping the organization
alive. He dwelt especially upon the
need of members. He said it was a
poor organization which has but one
member, and when a club becomes
such that it is composed or controlled

Entias, Wash, April II.
Editor World, Wenatchee, Wash:
Dear Sir-For the past four years
we have been trying to make deal
with the people on the Orondo Flats
for irrigation, but have met with one
obstacle and another until the pres
ent time. Now, we are in shape to
do business with the people and ex-
tend our lines up and down the val
ley. We have one plant in operation
and two more that will be ready by
the first of May. The price we are
charging is $25 per horsepower for
/ the irrigation season of five months.
We will make a special contract for
light and heat at current rates.
| We can furnish them with 100 h.
in thirty days, and that will be
about all that they can use this year.
Next year we can take care of them
all. We have a power that can De cc-
veloped to 1000 horsepower, rs we
have a fall of over 100 feet, and next
year we will be able to take care of
the country from Chelan to Wenat-
chez. We will begin work on a con-
crete dam as soon as the stage of wa
ter will permit. We have called a
meeting at Orondo school house for
Wednesday night, April 10, for the
purpose of presenting our proposition
to the people.
Very truly yours,
