experience OF Mrs, Lvdia Dixon, OF Mingo

Congestion at the PostOffice.

Yesterday morning at 10 O'Clock
the bread line" waiting for it's mail
at the general delivery window of tn
postoffice was one of prodigious di-
mension; it stretched the length of
the hallway, then out through the
door, and across the sidewalk into
the street. The weather was pleas
ant and everybody patient and happy.
Still the spectacle, which was not un
usual, manifested the Importance of
bigger and better postoffice facilities
for the town. The city has grown
out of all proportions to the present
inadequate quarters The coming of
freet street delivery in June should
relieve this congestion to a great ex-
tent, still in the present small, cramp-
ed quarters there is insufficient space
for many clerks to work with any de-
gree of freedom.

CONCERNING
THE ELECTRIC
FRANCHISE
NJ. ID. Barash, of Entiat Power Com
pany, Writes an Open
Letter.
Wenatchee, April IS, 1908

Wenatchee, April IS, 1908.
Editor World:
Dear Sir-In justice to your city
council | ask you to kindly correct
an article published in today's is
the granting of a franchise. The
article in question credits me with a
statement to the effect that the Sc
attle-Tacoma Power company was
deing business in Seattle, through
recourse to the courts, with franz
chise.
You will remember that in a con-
versation with me l made an alb
Stract statement to the effect that
the extent to which a city desired
public utility was dependent upon
the desires of any one of her citizens
and taxpayers. Any citizen can, by
recourse to the courts, compel a
city to permit him to do business
with public utility corporation if
it is to his advantage to do so, even
though such a corporation has nc
franchise. AS an example, | cited
the case of the Seattle-Tacoma Pow
er Co., where such thing occurred,
the courts forcing the city to act.
The statement was made absolute
IL without bearing upon the appli-
cation of the Entiat Power Co., and
was merely a statement of an inter-
estlng fact.
Our franchise matter IS proceed
. irg to our entire satisfaction, and v t
have nothing but the highest regards
for your councilmen and city off
cials and our treatment at their
hands.
So in all justice to them l ask you
to correct the impression formed by
the article referred to and relieve
them from the false position created
by the article.
If that can be done by publishing
this as an open letter you have my
full permission to do so. Ve'y truly
yours,

FANS FLOCKED
TOCASHMERE
At Seasons Opening Game Yesterday
Wenatchee Won by Score of
12 to II.

to IL.
A pretty close score and a very
interesting game is the verdict of the
125 spectators who went from here
yesterday to witness the seasons
opening game of ball between We
natchee and Cashmere, played at the
latter town.
Jim Hill apparently doesn't be-
lieve in Sunday baseball, so he ran
No. l six hours late, and, in conse-
quence, a lot of Wenatchee rooters
didn't see the game. Quite crowd
caught the noon freight and local liv-
cry stables were cleaned out Of roll
the exodus to Cashmere.
OF course, it was the first game OF
the year, and neither team had the
benefit of much practice, but the
quality of ball put up was not at all
bad, and the managers of both
teams feel much encouraged, and are
looking forward to a season of good
fast play. The lineup for Wenatchee
yesterday was as follows:
MeyerseCatcher.
Cramblet, Cohen, Leonardy-
Pitchers
"Slats" Green--First base
Dunning-Second base.
Cooper-Shortstop
Whizanand-Third base.
Fhale--Right field.
l3lack-Center
Fred Reeves-Left field
The game was fairly umpried by
Manager Clark Of the Cashmere
team.
Meyers, Wenatchee's crack catcher,
had his finger put out of commission
in yesterdays game and will not be
able to play for a week or so. This
will necessitate postponing the pro-
posed game with Waterville, which
was booked for next Sunday. Quin-
cy, which is not considered so formid-
able, may visit Wenatehee in place
of Waterville, leaving the latter till
Meyers hand gets well.
