RUSSIAN ENGINEER
COMING

Spokane, May 31.-Eugene Skorn,
iakoff, consulting engineer of the de-
partment of agriculture, stationed
at st. Petersburg, Russia. who will
represent the Russian government at
re seventeenth sessions of the Ma
tional Irrigation Congress in Spo-
kane, August to IA, writes from
Washington, D. c.. to R. Insinger.
chairman of the board of control,
that he will visit the irrigated dis
tricts in Colorado, Montana and Wy
omnig in June and part of July, ar
irving in Spokane early in August
He will remain at Denver until June
10. He will also look over the gov
ernment and private irrigation dis
tricts in the three states, after which
he expects to visit parts of North and
South Dakota, Idaho, Washington,
Oregon, Utah, Nevada and Califor-
MIA.
1.-THE coming of Mr.. Skorniakoff,
who probably is the most disting-
uished engineer in Russia, is of
prime Importance and means much
for the congress-" said Mr.. Insinger,
land we believe that the report he
will make to his government will
mean much to the people of Russia.
AS he will visit many of the irrigat-
ed districts in the west, it is apparent
that the government is interested in
the solution of such problems as re-
clamation of arid and swamp lands,
forestry, good roads and the con-
servation of natural resources.
1--WE shall give Mr.. Skorniakof
every assistance in his quest for in
formation and we know that the Of
ficials in the various districts he is
to visit will do likewise"

LOCAL STORES DID
NOT CLOSE
FOR THE FIRST TIME IN YEARS
WENATCHEE KEEPS OPEN ON
NATIONS FUNERAL DAY-ONE
STORE CAUSES THE TROUBLE.

For the first time in many years
the business establishments in We
natchee failed to observe Decoration
Day. Heretofore many of the busi-
ness houses closed during the whole
day and all have heretofore closed
their doors during the meeting in the
afternoon, with a possible exception
of one or two.
The reason for the stores being
open is laid primarily at the door of
the Wenatchee Department Store,
which, it is alleged, has failed to
keep faith in the past. Business
men say that this store in the past,
Notwithstanding it's written agree
ment or given promise to close dur
ing certain hours, has continued to
do business This has happened not
only once, but several times. They
state that while the clerks are per-
mitted to go that there is usually
someone left in charge of the store
and the sale of goods has gone on.
Under these circumstances other
business houses have refused to close
and as a result the one day in the
year when the whole nation bows its
head in reverence to it's honored
dead, Wenatchee today continues to
sell goods.
At Cashmere, ON the other hand,
all business houses have been closed
all day.

parently wanted to continue to bal
saloons from the town. But II Thu
dry" element OF Radford had adoptes
the tactics recently used with sucf
disastrous (from the anti-saloon view
point) affect in Petersburg. there is
no saying what would have been the
result
According TO newspaper reports. the
fight at Radford was. TO a remarkable
extent free from bitterness. and wo-
men played no part IN the campaign
other than TO distribute circulars.
The Anti-saloon league workers did
their best. and the element favoring
the sale Of whiskey did its best, and
the voters were left TO decide. There
were no scandlous denunciations by
hired takers, no button-holing of vot-
ers by frenzied women and no parade
of babies.
Ii is impossible to compare the Rad
ford and Petersburg campaigns, for
various reasons. especially because
the organized business men opposed
the "drys" in Petersburg. 1t is worthy
of comment however. that the decent
fight made at Radford won, while the
obnoxious tactics adopted in Peters
burg caused the majority of thel
vets to be Unexpectedly large. and
gave the anti-saloon movement in Viz
ginIa the worst setback il has had
since its beginning.

PROPOSED ADDITIONAL ExPENDl
TUBE FOR PAVING.

II the twenty thousand dollars paid
into the city treasury by the street
railway companies for the privilege OF
abandoning the franchise of the Hamp-
ton Roads Traction Company is to DE
spent for street improvements, X
would he wise to set about preparing
for the work Just as soon as possible.
Work on the paving already contracted
for Is nearing an end, and 1t Is desir-
able that the contrac; for the proposed
nsw lob. IL Il Is to be let at all, and
II the contractors now at work are ex-
pected TO bid, should be awarded be-
fore the rollers and other equipment
in use on the streets at present are
taken away. We must remember, too,
that summer weather will not be with
ps always.
The Daily Pess Is not at all sure
that It is desirable to spend this twen-
~ thousand dollars for paving. To be
sure many of the city's streets are IN
need of improvement. but We cannot
improve them all at once, and many a
city cider than this one is not as VIII
on along this line as Newport News.
Simply because a considerable. sum
of money In addition to the ordinary
annual income has found Its way into
the treasury is no good reason why
sn expenditure. which otherwise might
not Se thought of, should be contem-
plated. The sum paid by the street
railway companies went into the gener-
al fond and has never been set aside
Tor street Improvement or any other
purpose. 1t went into the treasury
Just as money from any other source
does. AS IL stands now, the railway
cash has been received and spent
though the general fund is somewhat
larger nov than II would have been
otherwise.
However. the question Of whether
or not an additional $4,000 shall be
put into street improvements is on'

council. II il Is decided that the city
can AFFORD to make the outlay at this
time. the people living upon variou:

crowd seemed TO be IN a threatening
attitude. Some one yelled razor"
Finally Hudgins was pounced upon
by Rosa Macklin and had il not been
for the timely interference OF a negro
man Mr.. Hudgins probably would have
been given harsh treatment.
When the case was called Rosa
Macklin and Lemuel Howard were
charged with assault and melting riot.
Magistrate Houchems fined the wom-
an $25 and costs and put fine OIL
