w. C. Watrous, general superin-

this valley visit last spring and it
was through his recommendation that
the valley had such excellent service
during the fruit season of last year.
1t was expected that Mr.. Watrous
would again visit the valley this year
before the opening of the fruit sea-
son, but in letter to Agent Piper he
states that it will be impossible to
get away from st. Paul at this time
but he states that the company this
year is going to have as good or bet

year and that there is going to be no
shortage of cars to handle the crop
just as promptly as it was handled
last year.

TAG DAY WAS A
SUCCESS
THOUGH THREE BANKS HAVE
NOT BEEN OPENED AS YET 1T
is EXPECTED FULLY $500
WILL BE Realized.

The Tag Day committee was very
busy on last Saturday and a con-
siderable fund was raised for char
ity. Mr.. Piper had arranged for
nine small banks to be expressed
here from Seattle but only four of
them came and there were no keys
with the banks and as result of
this the banks have to be broken
open and this was to have been
done about 8 o'clock this afternoon.
In loose change the committee
counted about $50 and it is expected
that there is from 500 to $50 in
the four banks This sum will form
nucleus for the fund that is to be
maintained for charity work during
the coming winter. 1t is hoped that
there will not need to be as much
help rendered as there was last win
ter but the committee cannot tell
what it will be up against, and it was
thought wise to secure funds early
in the season. The members of the
Associated Charities feel very CRATE
full to the donors of last Saturday
and the statement will be made in
tomorrow's World of the funds re-
ceived

Still HO[DUP SALE
Of BRIDGE
ADVISORY BOARD OF HIGHWAY
COMMISSION INVESTIGATING
LAW REGARDING SALE OF
BRIDGE OVER COLUMBIA.

The purchase of the Wenatchee
bridge over the Columbia river by
the state is still being held up. The
advisory board of the state highway
commission is seeking to reconcile
provisions of senate bill No. 81, pro-
viding for the purchase of the Col
umbia river bridge and Section 9,
Article 70, of the state constitution
which provides that the state shall
not become interested in the stock Of
any private corporation.
Chapter IS of the session laws of
1909 makes the following provisions
for the purchase of the bridge:
Agree to Maintenance.
Said purchase shall be made sub
ject to a contract entered into be-
tween the Washington Bridge COM
pany and the Wenatchee Canal COM
pany, whereby the latter is given per-
petual right to lay two pipe lines,
each Sc inches internal diameter,
over. or suspend from said bridge,
for the purpose of carrying water
for irrigating lands on the east side
of the Columbia river in Douglas
county: Provided, however, that so
long as its pipe line shall be carried
upon the bridge the Wenatchee Ca
nal company shall be liable for and
shall pay one-third of the necessary
expense for the maintenance of the
bridge"
Constitution Involved.
Upon the question of whether or
not the joint payment for the bridge
constitutes partnership. the decision
will hinge Section 8, article XII.
of the constitution says:
"The state shall not in any man
ner loan its credit nor shall it SUBJ
scribe to or be interested in the
stock of any company, association or
corporation
w. P. Bell, attorney general, last
night expressed the offhand opinion
that the state highway commission
will not violate the constitution in
approving the purchase of the We
natchee bridge. Without going into
the legal aspect of the matter care
fully" said Mr.. Bell, Il fail to see
where the constitution would be vio-
lated in allowing the irrigation COM
pany to pay one-third of the cost of
the structure on the understanding
that for this privilege it is. permit
ted to maintain it's pipe line across
the viaduct
There is apparently no act of
partnership in such an arrangement.
The company is part of the general
public. The public wants the bridge
and pays for it. and the company
pays certain share for the privi-
lege of pipe line trestling
Il have not been asked to express
my official opinion on this matter.
If Invent into it thoroughly 1 might
of course come to a different con-
clusiOn. The matter has been
broached to me unofficially by men,

liberty to say by whom" .'s,-
