Z ! see one of the Chicago teachers
.comsa.ains that our public schools
are doing too much overhead Shoot
ing and tell you it's true as eat
ing. 1t looks like the town schools
was put up with just one thing for an
end and that is to graduate and get
diploma and the high school course
is ironclad to tit the college course
and it's a regular tread mill for boys
or girls that have any independence
or originality. Just put into the big
wheel all alike and ground in the
same hopper and on the same model.
The bulk of the boys and girls
never intend to 20 to college and
don't give rap for a diploma, but
thev want thorough foundation Of
the common branches to start out in
life with. Lots of graduates don't
know how to spell straight and use
good English. but they can decline
a Latin noun and conjugate "a Greek
verb. Lots of 'em are prepared
too much for college and too little
! for earnin' livin'. I've been
readin' about that manual trainin'
with my eyes bunged out with in

the boys and girls away from it and
it's all in the line of practical
eddication and prep for useful

Young beginners in life's morning
Don't forget the rainv day;
Sunshine cannot last forever. g.

Save the dimes and then the dollar,
Lay up something as you roam
Choose some blooming spot of beauty,
Some fair lot and ''plant home -
You. too. who have babes about you
Coming up to take your place.
Give them something to remember,
Homestead memories let them trace
Would you feel the pride of manhood.
Let the sun your dwelling greet,
Breathe the blessed air of freedom,
Own the soil beneath your feet. .
You, too, who perhaps have squander-

chise to Supply Electric Juice
i'm City.

! The council had a busy session last
night.
| In addition to hearing an extended
eulogy on the history and life work
of the railway commission, listening
I to Mr.. Wilmot present the claims of
the Seattle corporation which asks
the street car franchise, and transact
ing large amount Of routine munich
pal business it also entertained the
proposition of Mr.. Barash Of the En-
tiat Power company.
The latter corporation, as pu6<
lished in this paper Monday, is devel-
oping 10000 horse power in the En-
tiat Valley, and is desirous Of extend
ing its system to Wenatehee.
In presenting its requests to the
city Mr.. Barash said in part:
I'VE are going into the power de-
velopment business on big scale in
the Ensiat country, and are spending
lots of money getting in shape to take
care of the many contracts we have
for supplying power up there for ir-
rigation and other purposes. l have
submitted to you, through City Clerk
Sumner. preliminary estimate
showing a what price we can furnish
light and power to Wenatchee The
prices we shall ask are about half
what you are paying now The rea-
son why copy of the proposed fran
chise is not submitted at this time is
that | thought -<yould be more ex-
pedient for me to meet with your
proper committee and go into the
subject in detail. asceFtaining just
about what terms and conditions we
might expect. and then embody the
conditions mutually agreeable in the
franchise. II We can obtain entrance
.iato the city on certain conditions, we
are ready 10 go ahead at once. The
sooner We can have your decision
the better, as we wish to drive our
poles. etc, while the river is high this
spring: this will keep the money ex-
pended for timber at home. If we
are obliged to get them later on,
when the river is low, we will have
TO ship them in from the Sound"
To Ask Advice.
Upon motion OF Alderman Bous-
quet, it was decided to ask Hanford,
the Seattle electric expert, to come
over and consult with the city upon
the franchise asked for by the Entiat
Power company, as well as the street
car franchise for the Federal Engi-
Geering company.
The schedule of proposed changes
for light and power, and the question
OF franchise to Mr.. Barashs COM
pany was referred to the proper
committees for attention.

SMALL EXPENDITURE WOULD
MAKE NAVIGATION POSSIBLE
Columbia River Could be Opened at
Rock Island Rapids for One or
two Hundred Thousand Dollars.

Rock Island Rapids may be made
navigable by blasting out some of the
big rocks in the Columbia and at
reasonable expenditure of money.
This is the opinion OF Manager Bruce
Gr:ggs of the c. & o. Steamboat
company. at the present time
steamers may make their way
through the rapids for about three
months of the year; but it is so dan
gerous that it is not practicable, :"

from Wenatchee, up the river, to
Leavenworth, serving Monitor, Cash

MONITOR LAND
MUST Be SOLD
Old Shotweil Place Up the Wenat-
chez River to be Cut Into Small
Farms and Sold.

The old Shoswell place at Monitor.
now owned by C. F. Keiser, is to be
cut up into small farms and sold on
easy payments. This is the state
ment OF E. V. Martin, which has Sc
cured the exclusive right of sale of
the property, and has already had it
plated.
This place includes ninety acres
the best orchard land in the We
natchee valley with the best kind of
water right, being near the head of
the Gum ditch. It is on the railroad
and within forty rods of the station
of Monitor with a fine big school
building close by.
Owing to urgent need Of money at
the present time the price has been
cut way down, and it is to go at 5000
to $500 per acre. This, together
with its proximity to Wenatchee, and
terms so reasonable, means that it
is only a short time till, the whole
tract will be dotted with new homass

that should be expended to put this
point OF the river in good shape, Mr..
Griggs said: Zone hundred thousand
dollars would do lot of work, and
would put the river in much better
condition, and $4,000 or 100000
would open the river for the whole
season. If the government could be
shown the feasibility of this PROPOSE
tion matters might be arranged to
open the river in this manner thus
making an open river between here

INSPECTOR is
NOT HOPEFUL
Perley Says Wenatchee Needs Depot
Facilities, but Commission is Too
Busy to Effect Changes Now

A. w. Perley, state INSPECTOR of
railway tracks, safety appliances,
etc, visited Wenatchee Yesterday on
behalf of the State Railway Commits
sion, and investigated the condition
of the Great Northern Railways de-
pot, pursuant to the many COM
plants within the last year or two
over the absence of water closet.
The inspector said to a World re-
porter last night that considering
the size and Importance Of Wenat-
chez as a shipping point the city has
about the worst depot on record.
Over half a million dollars worth
of business is transacted here each
year by the G. NJ" said Mr.. Perley,
"and yet the railways passengers
are obliged to go out in town and
ask admission to private homes be-
cause the depot is without proper
retiring rooms. l have made my re-
port to the commission, and they
will send you copy Of it if you ask
for it,
Road is Obstinate.
Il doubt very much, however, IL
the road would take immediate ac-
tion on any suggestion from the rail-
way commission, for they are ignor-
ing all the rules promulgated by the
commission. Both the N. p and the
G. N. have persistently refused to
post the recent laws passed by the
commission for their regulation; In
some cases they even returned the
set of rules sent them to the COM
mission. There are now eleven cases
in court, brought by the commission
against the railroads, and you can
see what fight the commission has
on it's hands,
Inspector Perley addressed the
council last night; told them brief
ly that the railway commission
would do what they could. and told
them at great length Of what the
commission was doing in other di-
FACTIONS.
