PHONE TO
EAST WENATCHEE
FARMERS LINE TO TAKE IN
ABOUT Is FAMILIES OF EAST
WENATCHEE RESIDENTS-EX-
TEND SYSTEM UP RIVER.

Work will be commenced at once
by the Farmers Telephone & Tele-
graph company on an extension OF
the system to take in about three
miles of territory north from the
Columbia river bridge. The exten-
sion taken in at this time includes
about 25 families. Gradually the
system will be extended both north
and south from the bridge. With the
inclusion of the East Wenatchee resi-
dents in the Farmers Telephone &
Telegraph system it is thought likely
that the local line operated by the
Southside residents will also be con-
nected up with the local company
This has been in contemplation for
some time and last week committee
of the Southside people was in con-
ference with the directors of the To-
cal company and it is thought that
arrangements can be perfected in the
near future whereby the Southside
line will be given Wenatchee service
Considerable improvements in the
system have also been made up the
Wenatchee river The Peshastin ex-
change has been installed and within
the week about 25 phones will be
placed in that locality and gradually
the service will be extended.

SW|TCHMEN STRIKE
TONIGHT
TO TIE UP NORTHERN
LINES-PRESIDEN HILL OF
G. N. EAYS HE WILL FIGHT
DEMANDS.

st. Paul, Nov 30.-Nothing but
the surrender by the Switchmen's
Union of North America or the un-
expected concession by the railroads
to the switchmen of their demands
can prevent strike of switchmen on
all northwestern lines at six O'Clock
this evening. Late today no hope
of concessions by the railrads is ap-
parent. 1--WE will fight" declared
President L. w. Hill of the Great
Northern. I'VE carried the men
through the financial depression with
out cut in pay. Every five years or
so we have to meet this question and
it now is time to settle"
President Hawley of the Switch
mems union maintained that the de-
mands of the men are reasonable.
They ask an advance Of six cents an
hour and double pay for Sunday work
ana over time in excess of ten hours.

COLLECTIONS GOOD
THIS YEAR
BUSINESS MEN REPORT EASY
PAYMENT OF ALL BILLS DES-
PITE THE FAILURE OF THE
PEACH CROP.

Business men of the city are not
complaining this year of failure in
collections. The business men and
banks are finding that despite the
shortage in the fruit crop and failure
of the peaches that bills are being
met very promptly by debtors. The
Wenatchee Realty & Investment COM
pany officials this morning stated that
they had approximately $250,000
worth of accounts in their safe and
with the exception of about $4,000
all that are due have been paid in.
Like a great many of the business
firms of this city, this company ex-
pected to have to carry a consider
able portion Of their claims, yet some
how or other money is being raised
to take care of these. Other firms
make like assertions and even with
the full crop of last year the collec-
tions were no better than they are
this year.

No TRACE Of MIS-
SING BUTLER
PARTIES OUT ALL DAY YESTER-
DAY BUT FOUND NO TRACE OF
WELL KNOWN CITIZEN-BE-
LIEVED HE ENDED LIFE.

Though searching parties were
very busy yesterday at Cashmere and
along the Wenatchee river, yet no
trace was found of missing o. NJ.
Butler of Cashmere 1t is now gen.
orally conceded that while demented
the man took his life ana that his
body may be found later in the river
The searching parties remained out
long into the night but advices from
Cashmere this morning state that the
search has been abandoned. Chief
Of Police Inscho, of this city. with a
party, searched the river as far as
Monitor and returned to town at II
O'Clock last night on a freight. Mr.
InschO thinks that if Butler jumped
into the river the best chance of
finding his body at all would be in
the Simmons eddy south of town
Buffers wife. at Cashmere, is al
most distracted at the deed of her
husband
o. NJ. Butler came to this city
about four years ago, succeeding to
the business of Wheelers clothing
store. He had associated with him
D. r. Hannah. The firm was known
as Butler & Hannah. Mr.. Butler at
that time was a recent arrival here
from Alaska, where he had spent
several years mining. After few
months he purchased the interest of
his partner, Hannah, but sold out
two years ago to Mills Bros. and pur-
chased land near Cashmere, where
he has since made his home. Though
having the appearance of strong,
vigorous man. yet it is said that he
had affection of the heart which the
doctors pronounced incurable. This
evidently induced the dementia which
resulted in his taking his own life.

PRESIDENT zE[AYA
TO RESIGN

Washington. Nov. 30.-President
Zelaya has made overtures to revolu-
tionists intimating his willingness to
retire from the presidency of Mica
ragua, providing congress be allowed
to select provisional president in his
stead. This news was received today
from United States counsel at Blue
fields and was sent last Sunday night.
General Estrada, head of the revolu-
tionists, has replied that being as
sured of victory and being unani-
mOusly chosen by the liberal party,
he will not accept any terms other
than recognition of provisional gov
ernment established.
Orders for movement of marines to
Nicaragua have not been issued by
the navy department nor will they be
until the state department gives the
word.

WENATCHEE RIVER
ON RAMPAGE
CONTINUED RAINS OF THE PAST
MONTH HAVE SWOLLEN THE
RIVER BRIDGE AT CASH.
MERE PARTIALLY OUT.

The continued rains of the past
month have sent the Wenatchee river
up and it is higher now than it was
during the flood season of last spring.
A great deal of damage has been re-
ported near Cashmere. The food
has washed out the rip-rapping along
the banks and considerable valuable
property has been washed away.
1t was reported this morning that
the bridge just north of Cashmere,
leading into the Nahahum canyon,
had been partially carried away by
the floods. This bridge cost $6,S74
and was put in in 1906. Between
Cashmere and Wenatchee no dam
age has been reported and it is said
that the river fell during the night
about four inches.
Not only has the Wenatchee river
taken out a portion of the Cashmere
bridge but water Is standing over a
portion of the Cashmere fiat and has
inundated a number of houses. Sew
eral of these are accessible only by
boat and Cashmere today gives the
appearance of being flooded.

BUILDING READY.
FEB. 1ST
LOCAL SCHOOL BOARD EXPECTS
NEW BUILDING WILL BE
READY FOR OCCUPANCY BY
THAT TIME.

Work is progressing very nicely on
the new high school building. The
heating plant is being installed by
w. A. Pope & Co. and will be ready
for operation next week. Connection
has also been made with the sewer,
thus obviating all the difficulties that
the board is continually iaboring un-
der at the other school buildings.
The plastering is almost finished and
finishing wood work will be put in
just as rapidly as possible.
The school board met today at ! l
o'clock to open the bids for the fur
niture for the new building. A firm
in Tacoma is making the apparatus
necessary for the manual training de-
partment. The domestic science de-
partment is being equipped with both
electric and gas fixtures and as soon
as gas is available it is likely that
this will be used.
Members of the board are not ex-
pecting that the building will be
ready for occupancy until about Feb
ruary /. There were no corner stone
ceremonies but when the building is
finished it is expected to have a pub
lie reception, so that the patrons of
the school will he given first hand
knowledge of what has been done
towards building and equipping this
modern high school building.

MANY CHILDREN co
HUNGRY
SURPRISING CONDITION IN GER
MAN TOWNS-POVERT AND
ILLNESS ARE THE CAUSES.

The organization for the relief OF
distress among the poorer classes in
Germany is so often held up to for
eign admiration and emulation that
it comes as a shock to learn from
report just issued by the central
bureau of the Volkswohlfohrt or
Public Veal society that an inquiry
into the feeding of school children
reveals a surprising state of affairs
in 1S9 German towns, says a Lon
don dispatch. to the New York Sun
According to the report $4,000
children habitually went breakfast
less to school, while of the total OF
children per cent were sent to bed
each night supperless and hungry
Not fewer than $4,000 children had
to be fed by public assistance com
mittees, involving an outlay of $780,
600, a sum insufficient by far to
cope with the distress.
The report incidentally destroys
another illusion, namely that of the
reputed housewifely attainments OF
the German working mans wife, for
as the causes for the deplorable state
of affairs disclosed are given, first
complete ignorance on the part OF
the mothers of the rudiments OF
housekeeping, then poverty, illness
and unemployment.

K. Of P. MEMBERS
MAKE MERRY
PLEASANT SOCIAL FUNCTION
GIVEN LAST NIGHT AT THE
LODGE ROOM-SPEECHES. RE-
FRESHMENTS AND SOCIAL.

The X. of P. gave a very pleasant
social function last night in its lodge
room. This was a stag social with
the object of getting out as many of
the local members as possible and
also in the nature of a reception to
members of visiting lodges. Out of
a crowd of 100 men fully one-half
of them were visiting members. The
affair was informal and card tables
were in evidence. During the eve
ming short addresses were made by
Knights Parr and Stevenson, follow
ing which refreshments were served
in the banquet hall and at which am
pie justice was done.
The X. of P. lodge in this city is
in a flourishing condition and has a
membership of almost 100. OF the
visiting knights present a large pro-
portion signified their intention last
night of securing their cards and
seeking admission to the local lodge.

SPENT SIX WEEKS
N EAST
l.. V. WELLS WENT TO ATLANTIC
COAST AS A MEMBER OF THE
METHODIST EPISCOPAL MIS-
STONARY COMMITTEE.

After an absence from home for six
weeks, l.. v. Wells returned Satur-
day night. During this time Mr..
Wells attended the meetings of the
committees on Foreign Missions and
Home Missions and Church EXten-
sion. The Methodist Episcopal church
including all the American and for
eign annual conferences, is divided
into fifteen general districts. Each
of these districts is represented on
each of the committees by one min
lister and one layman. Mr.. Wells is
the lay representative of the fifteenth
district, which includes seven Ameri-
can conferences as follows: Colum-
bia River, Puget Sound, Oregon, Ida
no, Montana, North Montana, West
ern Norwegian and Danish, and seven
foreign conferences as follows: Ben
gal Bombay, Malaysia, North India,
North West India, South India, Phil
ippine Islands ani Western Alaska
and Wyoming missions. The Home
Missions committee met November s.,
in Wilkesbarre, Pa, and the commit
tee on Foreign Mission in Albany,
New York, on the 10th of November.
Aside from other general committee
work these committees receive re-
ports of all missionary contributions,
appointing and appropriating the
same, which amounts to several mil
lions of dollars annually.
Mr.. Wells, on his return trip east
accompanied Mr. and Mrs. Wilbur,
parents of Mrs. Wells. as far east as
Michigan. The latter had been in
Wenatchee for the past year.

TROUBLE LOOMS
IN CUBA
SEEK WAY TO RETIRE GOMEZ
AND PLACE VICE PRESIDENT
ZAYAS IN CHARGE OF THE IS
LAND OF CUBA.

Havana, Nov. 30-Not since the
President Palma has the political
atmosphere of Cuba been more OBJ
scured and more laden with sugges-
tions of trouble than now. The re-
established republic is scarcely nine
months old and already rurors are
persistent that some way is being
sought to secure the retirement Of
President Gomez, either by persua-
sion or compulsion, and to place Vice
President Zayas at the head of the
nation
When General Gomez became chief
magistrate followers of Vice Presi-
dent Zayas stood shoulder to shoul-
der with those of the president, and
even the conservative opposition,
which had sustained the banner of
Menocal in the campaign of the pre-
vious summer. lent him their loyal
support in the determination to give
the new administration a trial. That
they regard the trail a failure is
evidenced by their manifesto issued
shortly before the reconvening of
congress, in which they declared
their intention of beginning an act
i've campaign against the admins
tration.
Probably the most serious condi-
ton that the president faces is that
resulting from the continued failure
of efforts to effect complete fusion
between his partisans and those of
Vice President Zayas. For three
years negotiations to this end have
been in progress and at least half
dozen times announcement has
been made of their success. In the
presidential campaign there was
truce, but with the beginning of the
distribution of officers under the new
administration mutual distrust was
reported
! A few days ago General Gomez
| startled liberal leaders in letter in
| which he stated that, so far as he
was officially concerned, he had de-
cided to consider the fusion as an
accomplished fact and, in view of
this. he would make appointments
| to his cabinet without reference to
the particular faction of the liberal
party to which the appointee might
have belonged. The attitude of the
president was particularly objection
able to the Zayaists because the i'm
portant portfolio of secretary of state
recently was made vacant by the
resignation of Justo Garcia Velez. a
prominent member of the faction,
and it was feared that the president
would fill it with one of his own
supporters.
The incident has served to defer
the accomplishment of actual fusion
and should it result in breaking of
existing negotiations it is not i'm
| probable that the administration
will have two opposing parties to
deal with

HILL GETS ANOTHER
RAILROAD
OBTAINS CONTROL OF WATER
VILE LINE IS REPORT-MAN-
CHANGE.

Waterville, Wash, Nov. 80
Word has been received that James
j. Hill has so manipulated the SELL
ing of the stock of the Waterville
Railroad company on the New York
stock exchange as to obtain control
ling interest of the proposed road.
Just what this means is a matter
of speculation Some insist that it
is an endeavor on the part of Hill
to tie up further construction of the
road for this fall; but those who are
in the best position to know say
there is no fear in this action of any
sort of delay and that the road will
be pushed to completion as fast as
favorable weather will permit. The
Waterville road will onw probably
be operated as a branch of the Wash
ington & Northern instead of as an
Independent line.
The five miles of grading between
Waterville and Douglas are now COM
pleted and the bridge crews are hard
at work connecting up the few
breaks, when the road will be ready
for the construction crew. Mr.. Hill
had agreed to furnish the ties and
rails at cost to the Waterville Rail-
road company. but probably now will
take over that part Of the work and
have his own crew do the finishing
up of the line

August Workman. who was pinched
yesterday by Officer Nelson, was to-
day arraigned before Judge Palmer
and given ten days on the street for
being drunk and disorderly. That
this and many other cases which have

was a result of Leavenworth whisky

man Workman, himself. that the IL

to follow the acquisition of the
St Louis and San Francisco as an ad-
junct to the Hawley holdings. From
this was inferred a possible resale OF
the Missouri, Kansas and Texas. lately
acquired by the same rapidly growing
power in the railroad world.
The main lines of the days topics,
which are thus indicated sufficiently,
show the possible scope of speculative
ingenuity in suggesting variation and ex-
tension for It, The joint effect. however,
was not stimulating to the market Con-
siderable effect has been felt already
from the preliminary operations In con-
nection with these developments and 1t
is evidently feared that the consequence
of the actual accomplishment would be
reactionary. The market was affected as
well by the reduction of demand from the
short interest, which was covered In the
rise in prices yesterday.
The liability of the call money market
to f1urries under the influence of con-
tinued exports of gold and the require
ments of such large transactions as are
involved in the readjustment of the rail-
road ownerships begets caution In the
speculation. The effects of the railway
switchmen's strike in the northwest and
the fear of It's spread had depres-
sing effect. here came report from
washington that national bank holdings
in railroad securities were to be scrutin-
lied under the suggestion that specula-'
tive interest In the stock market, espe-
cially by the Greater New York banks,
played too large part in their con-
duct. The stock market element felt ner-
vous over this suggestion.
