League Of Commercial Clubs
Declare for R R. commission

After the Oregon Short Line had
been given a srilling by Governor
iGooding. who declared that the
| people Of Idaho had crawled before
THE Hartman corporation long
enough. the League of Southern
Idaho Commercial clubs at their
annual meetiEg in Nampa this
week went on record in favor OF
the enactment Of a law providing
for the creation of a railroad and
public utilities commission
Practically an entire morning
session was given over to dis
cusssion of the report of the COM
mjttee on resolutions. When the
committe made its report motion
that the report be adopted as read
was amended to adopt the report
section by section, and all of the
resolutions except that relative to
railroad commission were adopt
ed unanimously.
The resolution which brought
forth some opposition was as fol-
lows: THAT the League of South
ern Idaho Commercial clubs lend
assistance toward the passage of a
law providing for the appoint
ment of a railroad and public utili-
ties commission.
Governor F. r. Gooding, with
ringing speech in which he as
sailed the Oregon Short line and
its officials, carried the railroad
commission forces to victory By an
overwhelming expression of senti-
ment. although mp until the time
of the morning session it had look
ed as if the question was very
much in doubt. Payette, Nampa
and Pocatelo stood against any
resolution declaring specifically
for a railroad commission even
though coupled to a public utility
clause until the final ditch, when
they joined the other clubs, max
ing the vote unanimous. Other
matters of current importance were
expressions fayoring the admins
tration of the forest reserves so as
to promote rather than retard the
lumber. mining and grazing inter
ests; asking the opposition of Ida
ho members of congress to the par
eel post scheme; discussion of the
recent ruling of the interior depart
ment affecting the settlers on the
project, ; advocating the
unionizing of school districts for
high school purposes and favoring
The improy ement of highways.

WATER LIFTING DEVICE
High Land on Slope to be
Watered by Turbines.

The hydraulic ram and the gaso-
line engine have had their inning
as devices to lift water onto land
above the canals. and now the
turbine is to be tried and if the
claims made for it are proven to be
true, il will be the most successful
of ALL
r. B. Shaw has decided to give
the turbine a trial on his slope
farm east Of town. He will install
20 horse power machine and
centrifugalspump with a capacity
sufficient to irrigate 120 acres of
land from 80 to 104 feet above the
Canyon canal. The turbine Will
be driven by water from the canal,
and the fall will be 81 feet. Two
pipes will be attached to the pump.
One will carry water 1O4 feet above
the canal and will deliver so inch
es. This will be used to irrigate Is
acres on Mr.. Shaw's farm, which
he will plant to grapes, principally
of the California varieties, and
other tender fruit. The other pipe
will deliver 80 inches of water tosa
height of 81 feet above the canal
and will irrigate 40 acres. The
plant will be installed in the
spring.
Some of the best land on the
slope lies above the canal aud it is
too valuable to let lay idle. The
result of Mr.. Shaw's efforts to |
bring into cultivation this laud
will be watched with interest. The
expense for maintenance of the
plant it is claimed will be trif1ing. |
and if this means OF lifting water
shall prove to be successful quite
a number of similar plants will be
installed and several thousand
more acres will be added to En-
mett's famous fruit belt.

WENATCAEE WILL
NOT CELEBRATE
FEELING AMONG BUSINESS MEN
THAT OUTSIDE TOWNS OUGHT
TO BE GIVEN A CHANCE THIS
YEAR.

Wenatchee will be quiet on the
Glorious Fourth this year. The
committee from the Modern Wood
men, who asked and were granted
concessions by the city council, have
decided that there is not enough
enthusiasm on the subject this year
and have decided to let the matter
drop.
A committee from the Woodmen
went out this morning to see what
could be done in the way of finances.
To ensure a good celebration they
wished to raise $1,000. No enthusi-
asm was shown in the matter.
A big celebration was held last
year-the most successful ever held
in this city. The feeling among the
majority Of the business men is that
the outside towns ought to be given
a chance this year.

SANS DOWNED
BY WILLIAMS
SOUTHERN CYCLONE GETS TWO
STRAIGHT FALLS IN FAST
MATCH.

q. F. Williams of Asheville, n. c..
defeated w. H. Sans of this city in
one of the best catch-as-catch-car
wrestling matches ever seen in We
natchee.
he match was rather a short one
lasting only sixteen minutes, but
there was something doing all the
time and no horse play. The first
fall went minutes and 80 seconds
The second went s minutes and 20
seconds and was fast and sensational
he bout was a remarkably clean
one, neither man reverting to tactics
which, while legitimate in wrestling
can hardly be termed as claen.
Both men were supposed to weigh
in at 143 pounds, but Williams look
ed heavier, and his superior weight
seemed to tell against his lighter op-
ponent
The first fall was marked by little
wrestling while both men were on
their feet. Williams showed up a
trifie faster and had Sans largely on
the defensive this bout. Sans broke
from several bad holds and il once
looked as if he would get Williams,
but the Southern Cyclone wiggled
out of danger. Sans slipped out Of a
toe hold, but in breaking loose gave
Williams another opening, and the
latter slipped to half Nelson and
body hold, and the local man was
trapped.
In the second bout Sans started
10 force matters and things went
with rush. There was much wrest-
ling on their feet before the men
went to the mat to stay. Williams
was on the defensive most of the
time, but toward the last got a toe
hold, "a la Gotch," on Sans, and
with toe hold and hammerlock
forced Sans shoulders to the mat.
AT the close of the main bout, both
men put on an exhibition match
which was very fast
The preliminary was between
Young Sisson and Young Faust, To-
cal light weights. Faust won the
first fall in l minute; the second fall
went to Sisson in / minute and 40
seconds. he third bout was longer
and was won by Faust in s minutes
} D seconds.
At the close of the performance,
Williams stepped to the front of the
stage and issued a challenge to any
man in the state who would weigh in
at 145 pounds at the ringsi1e. He
particularly wishes to meet Billy
Watson, who was seen here a short
time ago.

OPERATIONS MAY BEGIN SOON
IF REPORT THAT is FLOATING
QUIETLY AROUND IS CORRECT

/ A quiet rumor is working under

The rumor gives the location for
the new building as being at the
foot of Orondo avenue.
Concerning che-truthfulness of the
report the world is unable at this
time to say, blt gives the rumor for
what is worth. It is known, how

Elbert Hubbard on Cigarettes.

AS a close observer and employer
of labor for over twenty-five years,
| give you this: Never advance the
pay of a cigarette smoker; never pro-
mote him; never trust him to carry a
roll, unless you are willing to lose
the roll. Cigarette smoking begins
with an effort to be smart. 1t soon
becomes a pleasure, a satisfaction
and serves to bridge over a moment
of nervousness or embarrassment.
Next it becomes a necessity of life, a
fixed habit. This last stage soon
evolves into a third condition, a stage
of fever and unrestful, wandering
mind, accompanied by loss of moral
and mental control.

PAID TAXES WITH TREES.
How a Poor Mans Taxes Made a
Town Beautiful

The stranger in Macon, Mo-, invari-
ably notes the large number of mag
nificent shade trees that border the
streets of the town. The place has
come to be known as the City of
Naples, and the inhabitants take
pleasure in telling now these fine
trees were acquired.
In 1872, John w. Beaumont, an
energetic real estate man, went broke
and could not pay his taxes, which
amounted to $116. He offered the
city council in lieu of the cash 0,000
young maple trees, from one to two
inches in diameter, all ready to set
out. 1t was that or nothing, so the
council took the trees. BY public
proclama the mayor fixed an ar
Dor day. art, everybody who would
agree to set them out and care for
them was given from six te ten trees.
At that time the town was almost
bare of trees of every kind. Almost
in a day Mr.. Beaumont's legal ten
der for taxes was in the hands of the
inhabitants, and they so faithfully
carried out the mayors injunction
that today there is hardly a street in
the town which is not beautifully
shaded by thick leaved trees, sug-
gesting a town in the tropics.
There's been many public spirit
ed citizen who has contributed much
of his time and means to encourage
the development of thrift and beauty,
but on hot summers day the hard
up promoter who paid his taxes in
trees is remembered with the deep
est gratitude.

THE BIC
ELECTRIC PLANT
THIRTY TO FORTY CARS OF MA.
TERIAL is BEING USED DAILY
AT LEAVENWORTH.

The Leavenworth Echo gives the
following interesting information in
regard to the big Great Northern
Electric plant being built there:
For the past ten days a force of
men have been engaged in putting to-
gether the sections of steel pipe
which are used where the line crosses
the river and enters the power house
and storage tank. In addition to this
there will be over two miles of wood
en- pipe made of slaves, the putting
together of which began this week.
The superstructure of the power
house is to be of brick. Brick for
this structure has begun to arrive
and work on the same will begin to
arrive at an early date.
From thirty to forty cars of con-
structiOn material arrive here every
day. An approximate figure of the
number of cars of material used in
the plant is not far from 5000.

CATHOLIC
SCHOOL
ACADEMY TO COST $4,000 TO
BE BUILT IN WENATCHEE IN
4 SHORT TIME.

That Wenatchee is to become
center for the Catholic denomination
is evidenced from the fact that a
school of large size is to be con-
structed within a short time. 1t Is
understood that at least SIS 900
will be spent on the new structure.
Father J. NJ. Vande Wall, the
local priest, is a recognized leader

to have much to do with the work
