TIME A STUDENT UNDER w.
w. WOODS, OF DAILY WORLD.

"Yamashita," better known in the
United States as "Byran's Jap" is
now in his own country, where he is
private secretary to a member of the
Japanese legislative body. The story
of his enforced admission to the
Bryan household, told by Mr.. Bryan
on his visit to Wenatchee. is an inter-
esting one. Yamashita wrote to Mr..
Bryan from San Francisco that he
was coming to live with him. The
Bryans thought no more of the mat
ter till they received another letter
from Salt Lake City telling them that
Yamashita was on the road. Another
letter was received shortly after from

Weather CONDITIONS CAUSE
A GREAT DEAL Of TROUBLE
A Couple Feet of Slush and Ice on the
Track Near the Summit Roads Open
to East---Big Ice Jam Has Sent River
up and Docks May Go---Hundreds of
City Water Pipes Froze Up.

With the weather continuing soft the
debris on the tracks will run off in
time. The road from the east is open
now and there is nothing serious to
contend with. The weather still con-
tinues very cold and this causes the
trains to lose time, but outside Of the
col dweather there is nothing seri-
Gus to contend with.
1t looked this morning as if the
c. & o. dock would go out. The
river has damned very badly be-
tween here and Rock Island and has
forced the river up. 1t is now about
II feet higher than it was last week
and is coming up very fast. A break
up the river this morning precipi-
tated a great mass of snow and ice
down against the docks, and with the
rising water it looks as though the
dock might be forced out any time.
The only thing that might save it
would be the breaking of the jam
below and the loosening of the pent
up water.
The sleighing is not as good as
many of the wood haulers would like
to have it. The snow has been very
dry and has not packed very well,
making 1t impossible to haul as large
loads as desired.

BOUND OVER To
SUPERIOR COURT
j. l.. WELSH, THE EASY MONEY
LOANER, WILL BE ARRAIGNED
ON CHARGE OF OBTAINING
MONEY UNDER FALSE PRE-
LENSES.

J. L. Welsh, the man who, for sew
eral days, did a thriving business
here as a representative of the Stand
ard Real Estate Loan Company, was
bound over. Saturday night, by Judge
Palmer, to appear in the superior
court on the charge of obtaining
money under false pretenses. Judge
Palmer fixed the mans bonds at $500
and as he seems unable to raise this
amount he will be a boarder at the
Hotel i'Ferguson until the jury term
which will be held some time this
spring.
Welsh was bound over on the tes-
tinlony of Orville Wheeler, a recent
arrival here. He testified to having
oaiG Welsh $42 on the promise of an
Immediate loan of $1,000 Boyd
Yates, the state agent of the COM
pany. took the stand and told the
court that under no circumstances
was it possible for the company to
loan over 5000 to any one applicant
and that it was not possible to get
through the formalities of making the
loan in less than five to six months.
Wheeler made a good witness for the
state. Judge Palmer made a careful
review of the evidence introduced and
stated that he would bind Welsh over
to the superior court in the sum of
$500, on the charge of obtaining
money under false pretenses.
Mr.. Yates expressed himself as
very much disappointed in the way
his agent had misrepresented the
company here and stated that he was
glad that he was to be punished for
his misdeeds. He also stated that
the company would honor all con-
tracts made here by Mr.. Welsh and
that no one would be the loser as a
result of money paid to the agent.

The present winter weather is
causing a great deal of trouble all
over the country. 1t is said that
there are 10000 bursted water pipes
in Seattle, and considering the size
of the city, Wenatchee is faring about
as badly. A large percentage of the
homes of Wenatchee having plumb
ing are without water and the plumb
ers are working night and day to re-
lieve the situation.
The Great Northern is having
trouble in the Cascades. Great snow
slides have filed the track near the
summit and in some places for a
mile at a stretch the track is filled
with snow and slush ice. No. 4, due

days, and it's effects are being felt
here today. The snow is softening
up and the water is beginning to run.
The railroad company is fearing a
freeze. With all the snow and slush
that is coming down on the track a
freeze would tie up the road for days.

Of his annoyance, he charges straight

on to leeward of the caravan and, be-

would think that he had come from a
