A VERY INNOCENT
BARBER
HELD SACK AND LANTERN FOR
TWO HOURS LAST NIGHT
SNIPE.

There is an innocent barber in the
Yoder shop on Wenatchee avenue
He is so gullible that he believes
everything told him by his compan-
ions He has spent but few months
in the west. but it is safe to say that
he will wise up some If the ex-
periences of the past few days are
kept up for another month.
He has been told of the excellent
snipe hunting m this valley and the
means of capturing the snipe. His
companions in the shop apparently
were very enthusiastic hunters, so.
much so that he was also enthused
and wanted to go with the boys last,
night. About midnight they started
from the city, armed with a lantern
and sack. They went down below
the bridge and the innocent barber
was given a station, and it was his
duty to hold the sack and the Ian
tern. He was told that in order to
induce the snipe to go into the sack
that he was to keep up a continuous
whistle. The poor fellow kept his
lonely vigil. holding the lantern and
keeping the mouth of the sack open
for two hours. The other members
OF the party went up onto the bridge
and kept a watch on him. They ex-
pected that after a while Mr.. limo
cent would tumble to the game and
HE himself home, but he did not do
so, and the BARRIERS finally had to go
down and tell him that the snipe
were not running very well and that
they'd have to make another trip of
it. They did not know the polite way
of informing Mr.. Innocent that they
were working game on him, so they
put it up to the World to help them
out of the difficulty, and when he
reads this he will know that he has
been in the hands of the worst bunch
of practical hoaxsters in the city.

THEA1ERS Of CITY
PR0SPER|NG
WENATCHEE RESIDENTS NOW
BEING EDUCATED TO A NEW
CLASS OF THEATRICAL ENTER
TAINMENTS.

For time it was thought that
three mOving-picture shows would be
two, at least, too many for Wenat-
chez. A round was made last night
of the three theatres, now in exist
ence in this city. by reporter of the
Daily World and these three places
of amusement were found to be
crowded by people who wanted to be
entertained. The price of admission
is but 10 cents. The show lasts but
an hour and high class performances
are given. Wenatchee is a good show
town and the proprietors of these
shows, the Wenatchee theatre, the
Gem and the Fun, are giving a high
class of moving pictures.

.SCH|VE[Y AND MIC
H0[S MAY RESIGN
UNLESS TWO STATE OFFICERS
NOW UNDER PROBE QUIT OF
FTCE THEY MAY BE IMPEACH-
ED BY THE LEGISLATURES.

Olympia. April 30.-Unless either
Secretary of State Sam H. Nichols
or State Insurance Commissioner
John H. Schively or both resign it
will be recommended to Gov. NJ. E.
Hay that a special session of the
Legislature be called for the impeach-
ment of one or both of the officers.
"The sworn statement of Secretary
Nichols yesterday afternoon that
Schively lied when he said the money
above expenses was divided, has add
ed much gravity to the situation"
said one of the members of the COM
mittee this morning.
"Schively says he did cut the
money with Nichols and Nichols says
Schively did not and both men tes-
tify under oath and one or both
should resign or Governor Hay will
be justified in calling an extra ses-
sion to impeach one or both" This
is the sentiment of the entire COM
mittee.
Those who know Schively and
Nichols >eiieve that there will be no
resignation and at the Schively office
it was said with great positiveness
that he would not voluntarily resign
his Office and Secretary Nichols de-
clared that he has done nothing to
call an investigation.
Governor Hay was asked this
morning what he intended to do and
replied that while he thoroughly
understood the grave tone affairs had
taken and the discredit that the tes-
timony has thrown on the state he
did not intend to definitely determine
whether to call an extra session until
the committee had reported.

V0NDE[L AGAIN N
TROUBLE
HAD BLOODY BATTLE THIS
MORNING WITH A LINEMAN
TELEPHONE COMPANY.

The Daily World of yesterday stat
ed that Louis Vondell, the Mission
street blacksmith, had plead guilty
to the charge of selling liquor to Sam
George, the Indian. This was a mis-
take, as the man plead not guilty,
but was put under $500 bonds to ap-
pear before the higher court. Won
dell was not satisfied with this charge
hanging over his head, but this
morning, just before noon, engaged
in a bloody encounter with William
Mcpherson. a lineman employed by
the Farmers Telephone company.
The scrap was near the Olympia
hotel. Mcpherson was engaged in
trying TO separate two dogs which
were fighting From the evidence of
eye-witnesses to the trouble Vondell
resented the interference of McPher-
son and proceeded to strike him over
| the head with a walrus tusk. He
struck him several times before
Mac noticed him. The latter then
went after the blacksmith with a
pair of wire nippers which he had
fastened to him. The battle was a
bloody one before it was stopped by
the bystanders Officer Inscho hove
in sight and took Vondell to the jug.
He will be given hearing, probably
this afternoon.
From the evidence of the bystand-
ers Vondell was the aggressor and
the sympathy of the crowd is strong
ly with the lineman.
Vondell was arraigned this after
noon before Judge Palmer and given
a fine of 800.

Resigned from School.

Prof. F. c. Lemon has handed in
his resignation as principal of the
Wenatchee high school and it is ex-
pected that today will be his last one
in school work here. The resigna-
ton was presented to the board some
two weeks ago, as Mr.. Lemon has a
land proposition which he is going to
promote and he questioned whether
it would be possible for him to re-
main the balance of the year. He
has now found that he will be obliged
to give up his work today and the
board will probably have successor
by Monday.

100000
TRANSPORTATION OFFICIALS
MAKE ESTIMATES REGARDING
PASSENGERS THAT WILL COME
OVER LINES.

More than 100000 persons will
visit Pacific coast points this sum-
mer, according to an estimate made
by officials of the various railroads.
One million visitors alone attract
ed by the A.-Y.-P. exposition and the
scenic beauties of the northwest in
general, will patronize the Great
Northern, Northern Pacific, 500 and
Chicago, Milwaukee & st. Paul.
Railroad men, who have given this
matter their attention estimate that
peut of the 100000 persons that will
pass through st. Paul, 100000 will
travel over the Northern Pacific, an
equal number over the Great North
ern and 100000 will be divided be-
tween the 500 and the Chicago. Mil
waukee & st. Paul.
The Hartman system estimates
that fully 100000 people will visit
the coast this year. using the South
ern Pacific, Union Pacific. and the
Oregon Short Line. While the tour
ist travel to California Is always
heavy every year, the exposition is
serving as a drawing card and traf-
fic officials of the Hartman roads ex-
pect the biggest travel in the history
of the various lines
Toronto offices of the Canadian Pa
cific have sent out word that fully
100000 persons will visit the Pacific
coast this summer via the Canadian
road. This estimate is said to be
very conservative. The exposition
has been we'll advertised in the Do
minion of Canada aad the Canadian
Pacific will come in for big share
of the business. Canadian partici-
sspation at the fair has also served
<to increase interest throughout Can
! ada in the next worlds exhibition.
The foregoing figures do not in
clude what is termed local traftic.
Bv that is meant the travel to the
exposition from points reached with
in "a hours by rail- Fully 80 per
cent of the attendance at the exposi-
ton will be local, and the remain
ing 20 per cent will be handled by
the transcontinental lines.

A NEW IRRIGATION
DISTRICT
SEATTLE MEN PROMOTING ALA
MEDIA WHICH is ABOUT 40
RIVER FROM BRIDGEPORT.

Recently promoted and in embry-
onic state, is a new irrigation enter
prise, located 40 miles up the Colum-
bia river from Bridgeport, which the
promoters say is going to rival We
natchee. There is a large fat COM
prising from 5000 to 10000 acres,
which it is proposed to irrigate and
plant to trees. This land can be wa
tered by a number of small streams
which at present flow into the Colum-
bia river. These are being damned
higher up in the hill, reservoirs made
and it is proposed to spread the wa
ters from these creeks over this big
fiat.
A number of Seattle men have
passed through this city several
times this spring, acquainting them
selves with the conditions, and have
now announced that they are ready
TO pour in thousands of dollars into
the work of developing the land
Messrs. Meyer and Mcdonald, of
Seattle friends of L. III. Bowman,

WILL BE TRIBUTARY
To TACOMA
EVERYTHING WEST OF COLUM-
BIA AND OKANOGAN is WEST
ERN WASHINGTON FOR COM
MERCIAL PURPOSES.

Tacoma, April 3O.-"With the
coming to Tacoma of the Great
Northern and Chicago, Milwaukee &
st. Paul railroads a great territory
in this state, east of the Cascade
mountains, is being made directly
tributary to Tacoma. Western Wash
ington territory is Tacoma territory,
and western Washington should
henceforth comprise all of that part
of the state west of the Okanogan
and Columbia rivers"
Responding to the cordial welcome
extended him by his former fellow
townsmen, John w. Hill, former gen.
eral agent of the Northern Pacific
railroad in this city and now hold
ing similar position at North Yaki-
ma, made this statement at the lunch
given in his honor by members of
the Boosters club at the Commercial
club rooms at noon today.
False Belief.
Mr.. Hill believes that Tacoma
merchants should wake up to the
marvellous development work in pro-
gress in the Yakima and Wenatchee
districts where irrigation and col
Onization are working wonders. ia
comans have learned to accept the
false belief that western Washington
comprises the district west of the
Cascade mountains" said Mr.. Hill.
This is a false belief from both
geographical ana commercial stand
points. The growth of central Wash
ington and all the territory west Of
the Columbia and Okanogan rivers
means the growth of Tacoma. This
city is constantly gaining a stronger
foothold in the confidence of the peO-
pie of Yakima and that section. We
know that Tacoma is the railroad
payroll city and this forms the ba-
sis for growth of the most substan-
tial character"
Thirty members of the Boosters
club executive committee attended
the noon luncheon. President L. W.
Pratt, of the Boosters, and Mayor
John w. Linck acted as masters of
ceremony. Mr.. Pratt made an en-
thusiastic address in which he con-
veyed to Mr.. Hill expressions of the
warm esteem in which the latter is
held by his Tacoma friends. Other
members of the executive committee
spoke briefly along the same line.

NOW IS THE TINE
To BUILD
INVESTORS SAY BUILDINGS CAN
BE ERECTED CHEAPER AT
THIS TIME THAN FOR SEVERAL
YEARS PAST.

Building activity in Wenatchee
will probably surpass all records this
year, if things continue to hum along
as they have for the past several
months. A number of fine business
buildings are planned and several
have actually been started. Resi-
dences by the dozen are being erect
ed in every portion of the city. But
what the city needs most, say busi-
ness men, are more Office buildings
and business blocks for general pur-
poses. During the past several weeks
there have been a number of invest
ors in this city who desired to buy
lots in the block on Wenatchee ave-
nue., between First street north and
Orondo avenue. These have been
sought for building purposes, but it
seems impossible to purchase any of
these lots at a price that would war
rant the investment.
There is seemingly good demand
for business lots in other business
portions of the city on the side
streets and the prospects are good for
several buildings on Orondo avenue,
Mission street and South and North
Wenatchee avenue.
Among the lumber men and build
ers the opinion prevails that now is
the time to build. Wenatchee peo-
pie who have lived in the city for
some time can remember how they
missed it by waiting. Lumber is
cheap now, but there no telling when
the prices may advance.
A dispatch from Seattle this morn
ing says that 26 of the leading lum-
ber manufacturers of Oregon, Wash
ington and Idaho, who control to a
large extent the rail shipments of the
products from this section to the east,
met here today and determined to re-
duce the production of lumber 40 per
cent.
The order to the mills will go out
in a very short time-probably with
in two days-if the lumbermen who
took part in the conference today do
not change their minds.
The reason for the drastic curtail-
ment-which will be followed by
wholesale reductions in working
crews and disbursements of the mills
is found in the fact that there is
practically no demand for northwest
ern lumber from the yards in the
east and middle west. While the tar
iff is under discussion lumber deal
ers in the east refuse to bu. -,mber

Chicago, April 30.-Six killed and
SO were injured in Chicago and en-
virons in a storm last night. The
storm conditions are somewhat i'm
proved today. Lack of telegraph1c
communication in many points in the
middle west leaves the extent of the
damage in doubt. That the damage
is widespread and involving the loss
of scores of lives, much stock and
other property is shown by the re-
ports from the south and southwest.
The stories of deaths and damage in
Tennessee, Arkansas, Georgia, Iowa,
Missouri, Kansas and Kentucky are
being received.

years ago from Minnesota and since

SAMMY

Sammy belongs to the black and
tan dog species. He is not very
handsome dog nor very ugly one.
The only thing that l admire about
him is his large, brown eyes. He is
very affectionate.
He showed his affection very plain
ly for our cat, called Dot. They Of
ten eat together out of the same dish.
Then came a time for several days
when Dot did not show up. Sammy
was much worried. At last we re-
lieved his anxiety by bringing him to
Dot, and, to his surprise. there were
three tiny kittens the exact image of
their mother. But, sad to relate. she
deserted her babies. She had no
mother love in her heart. We coaEed
her and tried all sorts of ways, but all
in vain. One died the day after its
birth. and the other followed few
days later. Then there was only one
baby kitten left We tried hard to
keep that one. We warmed milk and
fed it by spoon. But one morning
we found that one had also died. We
buried them together.
Every since Sammy has shown a
great dislike for his former friend.
They now pass each other with
scarcely a look Sammy can beg, but
he does it so awkwardly that it makes
you laugh. Instead of dropping his
paws down like other dogs, he sticks
them above his head and stalks
around as dignified as possible under
the circumstances Thornton,

there were swings, and monkeys, and

walked-"oh, my! so far" said
Becky-till they got to the park.
There they roamed and roamed, Won

home, going north instead of south.
When they got out of the park they
followed the trolley track. At last
they reached Third avenue and 10th
street and saw the .'L" road.
"Now we're near home" said
Becky to the others.
They thought they'd sit down and
rest awhile-and then they fell
asleep.
''I'm terribly hungry" said Becky,
appealingly, to the desk lieutenant.
