MAY GET THROUGH
To COAST
NOS. 1 AND 43, WESTBOUND,
WILL ARRIVE HERE SOME
TIME THIS EVENING-ROAD IS
BEING CLEARED.

Nos. 1 and 43, Great Northern
westbound trains, will arrive here
some time this evening. both quite
late but the local Great Northern Of
flee was notified this morning that
the trains would be routed over the
Great Northern line instead of over
the Northern Pacific, as they were
yesterday. This means that there is
prospects of getting through to the
coast some time tonight The local
office has very little information as
to the progress of the work of re-
moving the debris from the tracks
between the tunnel and Scenic, but
evidently word was received in Spo-
kane that conditions are being bet
tered.
The westbound Seattle-Spokane
local. due here at 1907 a. M, was
about four hours late this morning,
due, it is said, to washout at a
bridge near Wilson Greek. The train
arrived about 5 O'Clock and returned
east again at $40. This train
brought a small quantity of mail
from Spokane.

GUILTY ON SECOND
COUNT
WENATCHEE FEMALE BOOTLEG
GER GIVEN SECOND FINE FOR
SELLING LIQUOR WITHOUT A
LICENSE.

Thelma Stanley, who was arrested
in this city last Friday night, charged
with bootlegging, was given sec
ond trial yesterday and the jury
brought in a verdict of guilty, with
fine of $99. This was the trial on
the second count, the woman being
given a $99 fine also on Monday.
The jury in the case yesterday was
composed of D. n. Gellatly, S. F. Gill
man, Virgil Wine, R. r. Ellinwood,
c. c. Warner and S. w. Strahler. The
case was tried before Judge Sumner
in the superior court room
After the conviction of Monday the
woman paid her fine, but not having
the necessary cash to pay the fine OF
yesterday she is spending her time
in the Jail.
There is still another count against
Thelma Stanley which will likely be
brought up in the course of a few
days. The prosecution of the Stan
ley woman is the result of the work
of the Spokane detectives who have
been employed by the city council for
the purpose of securing evidence
against violators of the city ordi-
nances -

AN OPEN RIVER
DELEGATE
EFFORT BEING MADE TO SECURE
A REPRESENTATIVE AT THE
CONGRESS- WHICH MEETS IN
WASHINGTON, ID. c., DEC. 10.

There seems TO be very general
in this city that Wenat-
hcee should be represented at the
Open Rivers and Harbors congress
which meets in Washington, D. c.,
December 10. The matter was
brought up at the last general meet
ing of the commercial club but no ac-
ton was taken at that time as it was
deemed impossible to secure a rep
resentative. DR.. King was asked to
go as a delegate, but stated that he
had made all plans to go to Louisiana
for a couple of months and felt that
he could not make the trip to Wash
ington. Since that time, however, a
large number of the business men
have asked DR.. King to go and a
number have on hand a plan TO raise
the additional sum required for DR.
King TO make this additional trip
and it is thought that he will con-
sent to go. 1t is felt in the city that
the lower Columbia and Snake rivers
are receiving the bulk of the con.
gressional appropriations. These
have been secured by persistent work
before the committees The uppe,
Columbia river sections have never
been represented in the congress nol
at the general appropriation commit
tee, and it is felt that this year the
Wenatchee Commercial club would
make a serious mistake by not hav-
ing a representative at the congress
next month.
Should DR.. King make the trip il
would be necessary to start within a
few days as he would want to be in
Washington at least a week before
the opening of the congress in order
to avail himself of the congressional
library from which he would want
to secure data and also acquaint him.

There was rustic in the null

gresham was in town, likewise there
is a pOstmastership to be awarded to
some of the faithful by April /. Upon
this office depends the government of
the state of Washington and the fu-
ture well-being for all time to come
of the city of Wenatchee. Upon the
right selection of a man for this po-
sition also depends the question of
wehther or not the streets shall be
muddy for the next four years, and
also whether it will be possible to
secure a sly bottle from the grocers
and hardware merchants.
Promptly on the announcement of
the fact that the eastern Washington
congressman was in the city the CO.
horts began to gather from the east
and from the west and from the north
and from the south, Philistines ani

throng represented adherence for the

GIVE UP HER DEAD - BLACK
DAMP Is REPORTED TO BE THE
CAUSE OF DEATH.

Cherry, H., Nov. 24.-One hun
dred and sixty-eight bodies were

of the ST. Paul mine The searching
party found fans improvised from
boxes and messages written on pieces
Of slate The bodies were in a tan
gled mass, completely blocking the
staircase leading from the third to
the second vein. Black damp was the
cause of death. There remains 21
miners unaccounted for.
No evidence that the men attempt
ed to barricade themselves from the
black damp was seen. Many of the
former workers of the mine protested
angrily after they discovered that
they would have been safe from the
deadly gases had not the ventilation
fan of the mine been reversed short
ly after the discovery of the fire.

SLIDES
ONE MAN KILLED AND ANOTHER
INJURED-DELAY NO. AR
RIVED HERE AT 2 O'CLOCK
THIS AFTERNOON.

The delayed No. 4 arrived al this
city about 2 O'Clock this afternoon.
This is the train which has been
stalled since Monday at a. m. this
side of Scenic on account of land
slides. The train left the place
where it was stalled about 9 o'clock
this morning. It was between two
immense slides, and passengers on the
train state that it will be fully a day
before the other trains get through
Fortunately there were no Wenatchee
people on the train.
Two serious accidents were re-
ported to the crew engaged in clear
ing the debris One of the man
handling the powder used in lifting
the mud off the track had his head
blown off. His body was found but
it is stated that his head itself was
blown to atoms.
Another of the crew had his eye
blown out and was otherwise horribly
mutilated. The man was brought to
Leavenworth on the train which ar
rived here
The passengers consider themselves
fortunate in getting through, and
state that the slides were among the
worse encountered in the Cascade
section of the Great Northern.

Spokane, Nov. 24.-The beginning
Of real winter is in sight-in fact,
it may be here tonight, if the forecast
at Washington, D. c., comes true.
Forecaster Charles Stewart received
a message from the head office at
Washington yesterday that read:
Gold wave will overspread the
middle and northern Rocky noun
tains and plateau regions by Tuesday
night; the Missouri valley and plains
states by Wednesday night and the
Mississippi and lower Ohio valleys
and upper lake regions by Thursday
night"
From this it would appear that the
cold wave is coming from the west,
in which case it should reach Spokane
shortly. Just how cold the wave"
will be is not predicted

WANT JOB HELD BY
P0|NDEXTER
SEVEN MEN THINK TT WOULD BE
NICE TO OCCUPY SEAT IN CON-
GRESS - WENATCHEE CANDI.
DATE NOT ANNOUNCED.

Spokane, Nov. 24.-Seven men
want Congressman Poindexter's job.
That number has already been an
nounced as candidates for a congress
sional position. and they are getting
ready for the fight.
AS soon as it became known that
Mr.. Poindexter had ambitions to try
on the senatorial toga, for some time
worn by Senator Samuel Piles, large
number of citizens at once signified
their willingness to be seen cloaked
in the congressional robes discarded
by the announced foe of Uncle Joe
Cannon.
The list of those who are either
avowed or receptive candidates for
the honor of representing eastern
Washington in the councils of the ma
ton includes Senator Merritt, Harry
Rosenhaupt, William H. Ludden and
T. D. Rockwell, of Spokane; Lee
Johnson of Sunnyside; L. o. Meigs of
North Yakima and J. d. Bassett of
Ritzville.
Were Candidates Last Year.
Several of the men named in this
list were candidates last year when
the prize was landed by Hon. Miles
Poindexter, the present incumbent of
the Office, who has announced that he
will seek election to the United States
senate to succeed Senator Piles, and
consequently will not be in the con-
gressional race. The men who con-
tested with Judge Poindexter for the
nomination in the primaries last year
have not personally declared them
selves as candidates, but it is said
they are being groomed for the race
by their political admirers and close
personal friends.

CIDES ON CALLING ELECTION
IN SHORT TIME-MUCH BUsI-
NESS TRANSACTED.

Regular routine work occupied the
attention of the city council last
night during most of the session and
il was thought that the meeting
would be devoid of anything of an
unusual nature, but just prior to ad
jOurnment the city clerk brought up
the matter of the financial condition
of the city and the necessity for a
bond issue. After hearing the state
ment the council unanimously voted
to instruct the city attorney to pre-
pare an ordinance, calling a bond
election to be held just as early as
possible, probably some time the
latter part of December or the early
part of January. The statement on
which the bond issue was called is
as follows:

After it was all over. others con-

some most of the time. You may won
der why the aunt permitted the Merry
Widow to settle down in the midst of
us. 1t was as plain as day. The widow
was used to having her say. though
nothing could discourage Pickles from
"butting-in' And we all agreed that
the aunt was a necessary accessory,
only some of us used words both short
err and uglier.
The widow explained she had come
to Jake Mann's because she had heard
that those who foregathered there
were strictly on the level. Even at the
semi-swell hotels she couldn't be so
sure of that as at Jakes. Jake's law
was: Be square. And Jake enforced
it much better than the statute laws

else. The Merry Widow didn't pretend
to have fortune, but she said she
wanted to see New York and had come
