When women of twenty-one
nations elect a woman as their
leader. the personality of that
woman must necessarily be of
interest, says Minnie ]. Rey-
nolds in the New Idea Woman's
Magazine for November. If
men throughout the world had
neither participation nor repre-
sentation in government, and if
the men of twentyone countries
organized to secure these rights,
the man whom they elected their
president might fairly be called
the most representative man in
the world. On the same basis
Carrie Chapman Gait of New
York. president of the Interna-
tional Woman Suffrage Alliance.
may fairly be regarded as the
woman who best represents the
women of the civilized world at
the present time.
Nobody, man or woman, can
be elected to such a position
without earning it. Mrs. Gait
has lectured for suffrage in ev-
cry State in the Union except
South Carolina and Florida. She
has stumped the States of Colo
RADIO, Idaho, South Dakota, Kan
sas. Iowa, California, New
Hampshire and Montana. She
has addressed constitutional con-
ventions or legislatures in
Maine, Massachusetts. Rhode Is
land. Connecticut. New Hamp-
shire, New York, Pennsylvania,
New Jersey, Iowa, Michigan,
Louisiana and Delaware. She
has lectured for the cause in
England, Norway. Sweden. Den
mark, Holland, Saxony. Bohe-
mia, Prussia and Hungary.
She has travelled in all over
one hundred thousand miles for
suffrage. During the sixteen
years following 1883 she averag-
ed five thousand miles year in
the United States. From 1904
to 1909 she went abroad each
year, and travelled a thousand
miles in Europe each time for
suffrage, besides the six thous-
and miles necessary to cross and
recross the Atlantic.
Only seventeen Jersey cows
in the worlds history have pro-

Red Cross Stamps.
The American Red Cross, by
formal action on October ID, has
reduced it's own proportion of
the proceeds of Christmas
Stamps from 33 1-3 to 20 per
cent.
The Red Cross had estimated
that by retaining one-third of
the proceeds of stamp sales it
would be enabled to meet all of
the expenses which it had as
sumed and realize a net profit of
perhaps Is per cent. 1t was the
intention to apply this Is per
cent profit to the furtherance of
turebculosis work in some ma
tional way or to any other ur-
gent demands of an imperative
character. After more thorough
consideration, it has seemed wis
er to permit the application of
the returns from the sale of
stamps to go more fully y-ihtu tn.
local tuberculosis work in the
various states. For this reason
the aforementioned action was
taken. The result will be that
the local tuberculosis work in
those states and cities in which
the Red Cross Christmas Stamps
are sold will be the gamer to the
extent of 13a per cent of the
gross receipts of stamp sales.
Twenty million stamps will be
ready for distribution to agents
by the first of November. and an
additional ten million will be
ready by the middle of Novem-
ber. If more are needed, they
will be printed in good time.
None of the exasperating delays
which characterized the cam
paign of last year are expected
to occur this year if selling
agents are prompt in sending in
orders.
Handsome posters and pla-
cards, with which to advertise
the sales in a striking manner,
are also to be supplied free of
charge by the Red Cross to
Stamp agents. Agents are there
fore advised to make a careful
estimate of the number of post
org and nlacards which they will
be able to use advantageously
and send orders for them at the
earliest practicable date. A de-
tailed description of this adver-
tising matter is contained in a
circular which will follow this
letter in a few days.

CAUGHT STEALING
FLOWERS
PRESIDENT AND TWO COMRADES
PICK POSIES ON BEDS NEAR
BED BY WATCHMAN.
(By Associated Press

Washington, May 20 Caught
raiding flower beds on the capitol
grounds, President Taft narrowly es-
capped arrest Saturday night, accord
ing to story which he told on him
self today The president, accom-
panied by Archibald Butt and an
other man, whose name has not been
made public, was driving through the
grounds in an automobile Saturday
evening when he was suddenly im-
pressed with the beauty of the flow
ers.
Let's get out and pick few OF
these flowers" suggested the presi-
dent, and in a moment the three
men wer as busy as small boys rob-
bing the flower beds. Butt, true to
his name, was caught by a watch
man, who, not recognizing him,
threatened him with arrest. Taft
heard the discussion and, joining the
pair, added his censure to that of the
watchman, at the same time care
fully concealing a large bunch of
flowers behind his broad back.
The captain was astounded for a
moment at his chiefs action, but
quickly saw the joke and played the
part of a real culprit. The sport
went on for several minutes before
the watchman got good look at the
presidents face, recognized him and
began to apologize. The president
cut off the apologies, commended the
man for his vigilance, and reentered
his automobile

Washington, May 26.-S. N. D.
North, director of the census, has
rendered his resignation and it was
accepted today. E. Dana Durand.
deputy commissioner of corporations,
has been nominated to succeed
North, whose resignation is a direct
result of his controversy with Sec
retary Nagel.
The following statement in con-
nection with the North case was
given out at the White House:
Director North rendered his re-
signation as director of census. 1t
was accepted and the name of E.
Dana Durand, now deputy commits
sioner of corporations, has been sent
to the senate to succeed him. North's
resignation was based on the ground
that on account of conditions exist
ing and likely to continue, his admin

not probably be successful

been in the bureau of corporations
for some time and it is believed will
work in harmony with Secretary Ma

Independent institution and that he
was responsible only to the president.
A congressional enactment put the

sistence that North was subordinate
to him.

MORE PACE WAS
NEEDED
WENATCHEE PLUMBING CON-
PANY CRAMPED FOR ROOM
OBLIGED TO SEEK NEW QUAR-
TIERS FOR GROWING BUSINESS.

The Wenatchee Plumbing company
has been moving for the past two
days into the old Scheble building,
at the corner of Mission and Orondo
avenues. This has been made neces-
sary on account of the present quar-
ters being too small. The business
has grown so that a great deal larger
quarters were necessary and hence
the move. Manager Edwards states
that the new location will give the
company chance to greatly enlarge
the stock and be in position to give
better service to the patrons.
Those desiring anything in the
way of plumbing, heating plants,
bath fixtures or repair work will find
the Wenatchee Plumbing company
just opposite the Harlin market, at
the corner of Mission and Orondo
avenues.

\. ?. WILL Spend
MILLIONS

Spokane, May 26.-Announcement
is made by contractors in Spokane
that improvements on the main line
of the Northern Pacific railway, in
yolving the expenditure of from $15,-
100000 to $16,000,000 during the
next two years, have been decided
upon in reducing grades and building
feeders in North Dakota and Mon
tana. One of the projects is water
/ grade line from Mandan, n. D., to
Giendive, Mont, 207 miles, following
the course of the Missouri and Yel-
lowstone rivers. This means that the
present line of 2 per cent will be
abandoned. The feeder line, from
Mandan south and westward, 160
miles. is now under way. Contracts
for the new main line have also been
awarded and work will begin as soon
as the men and materials can be as
sembled. Railroad men in Spokane
see in these projects well-deflned
plan by the Hill interests to meet
f. H. Hartman more than half way
in the development of the Pacific
northwest, besides a determination
to equal the fast train service be-
tween Chicago and the Coast, prom
ised by the Chicago, Milwaukee &
Puget Sound Railway company.

(By Associated Presso

Waterville, May 26.-Dishes rat
tied, chairs danced and bric-a-bac fell
from the shelves.
All of this was at Waterville yes
terday morning, when the town ex-
perienced its first earthquake, and
it was not a baby earthquake either
The shock, which occurred at
about $50 o'clock Monday morning,
was preceded by a loud rumbling
The tremor, which seemd to move
from the southwest, did no particular
damage, but it was so strong that
dishes were shaken from the shelves
in a number of places. On Badger
mountain, near here, the shock was
very heavy, and at Douglas the
houses were shaken so that articles
fell from the shelves and dishes rat
tied.
A peculiar feature was that, while
Waterville has been without electric
lights for some time, at the moment
of the quake the lights reappeared
What caused this is not known here
as the light current comes from En-.

NOTIFIED INSPECTOR.

The final steps were taken this
morning by the board of county com
missioners to curtail the fruit in

week that his services would no
longer be required. Since that time
Mr.. Pitcher has been in communities
tion with the other members of the
county board and as they agree with
him in this matter Mr.. Darlington
was notified this morning of the ac-
tion of the board.
Three deputies have been en-
ployed by Mr.. Darlington and have
been on the pay roll of the county

HOUSE.

The residents of the south end of
the Wenatchee school district have
had some trouble in the location of
the school building and a mass meet
ing has been called at the courthouse
for Monday night for the purpose
of definitely deciding as to the loca-
tion. The school board has decided
to proceed in the erection of a four
room building just as soon as the
location is decided on. This build
ing will allow of the four grades this
fall and the building will be con-
structed so as to allow an addition
to be built whenever the attendance
justifies it. The school board is anx-
ious that the south end people should
decide at once on this location, so
that work on the building can be
started.

HILL LOSING CONTROL Of N.P.|
Wall Street Has Been Making Persis-
tent Fight on the Great Builderand
Will Soon Throw Down Gauntlet

WELL Hill secures terminals for the
Great Northern in Portland and gets
his North Bank trains into the Union
depot at Portland. Hartman nulli-
fies the effect of the interstate COM
merce commission in opening the
Portland gateway by obliterating the
portal to Puget Sound altogether.
The Evening Telegram goes on to
say the deal is the outcome of a
quiet fight which Wall street is
making on Hill interests and the day
is inevitable in which his enemies
will be prepared to throw down the
gauntlet and do him open battle for
possession of the system. That is
why Hill wants to be sure of the
Great Northern terminals in Port
land; that is why he is willing to let
Hartman into Tacoma and Seattle
on equal terms.
