!. The report Of the police judge
for the month. of January was
read and il provoked considera-
BILE discussion. A part of the
report referred to the arrest of
RsIJ ]: Bland Cedar Red for al
legged violation Of. the ordinance
regarding the sale of intoxicat-
ing liquor. 1t seems from the
report the case was started in
police court, and that after a
few Witnesses had been exam
ined the, case was. dismissed.
Then the report went on to state
that the costs had been paid.
Inasmuch as the city is mulcted
for the, costs. when there is no
conviction the question of who
paid the costs at once became a
subject Of interest. The report
was referred back for correction.
After this action was taken it
was discovered that Bland had
paid the costs.

candidate for presidential elector on

things the league has accomplished,
he said: I'm the first place it has
stirred to activity many who took no
interest in work of this kind. The
organization has to it's credit the
closing of the saloons on Sunday and

WILL SOON
USE ELECTRICITY
G. N. TRAINS WILL RUN THROUGH
CASCADE TUNNEL BY MEANS
OF NEW POWER BY JANUARY.

Great Northern railway passenger
trains will be running through the
Cascade tunnel before January l and
probably by December 1, drawn b.
electric locomotives. The cOnstruc-
ton department is rushing the finish
ing of one of II, largest un 1ertaking:
TO- its kind ever attempted in the west
and when the job is done liz, Grea:
Northern will be the first of the
northern lines to operate passenger
trains by electricity over any con-
siderable portion of it's road.
F. M. Baum, former state senator
and general manager of the Pacific
Coast Pipe company of Seattle, which
two miles of wooden stave pipe big
enough inside to drive a team and
wagon through, returned yesterday
from the site of the power station on
the upper waters of the Wenatchee
river, above Leavenworth, says the
Seattle Times He said at the Butler:
The plan is to entirely change the
method of handling trains through
the Cascade tunnel. Electric locomo-
tives of great power have been pur-
chased by the railroad company and
the transmission of the line from the
plant to the entrance to the tunnel
is practically ready for the current.
The poles are in place for the string
ing of the high tension wires. Once
the trains are operated by electricity
through the tunnel, the discOmforts
arising from smoke in the great bore
will be obviated together with all dan
ger that must necessarily arise from
the presence of the ordinary locomo-
tives"
For the present the railroad COM
pany will develop 10000 horsepower.
The turbines and transformers for the
power plant are assembled OF Leaven-
worth ready for installation. The
wooden stave pipe line witch is to
carry a considerable portion of the
Wenatchee river on to the turbines is
1O.95O feet long and feet inches
in diameter, inside measurement. 1t
is the largest job of the kind ever
undertaken in the northwest.
