Tree Shocks a Playwright.

That Beerbohm Tree, the player,
has a caustic wit is evidenced by an
incident wherein he and an unknown
playwright figured.
The writer had obtained permission
to read his offering to Tree. The &C
tor evinced no great degree of enthu-
siasm, either during or after the read
ing; but he did take the manuscript,
upon which he scribbled a few sug-
gestions for it's betterment.
"See here, Mr.. Tree" was the in
dignant ejaculation of the ambitious
playwright, 'it's hardly fair of you
to dispose of my work in this sum-
mary manner. I'd have you know
that this play cost me a years hard
labor!"
'So!" queried Tree. ''My dear fell

Waterville, April 10.-The Great
Northern railway unloaded over 200
laborers at Columbia Siding yester-
day for grading work on it's north
ern branch into Douglas county. At
Douglas and other points along the
line the camps already are complet-
ed and only await the arrival of the
men, when the grading will commence
in earnest and be hurried to compile
ton.
The excavation of the 600-foot tun-
mel, where the proposed road leads
out of Moses coulee, which has been
in operation nearly the entire winter,
is within 10G feet of completion. BY
the completion of the most difficult
part of the grading will be over, as
the remaining work will then be
chiefly on the comparatively level pla-
teau instead of the difficult passes
leading from the coulee. The engi-
neer in charge reports that by the 1st

ing of the council was desired this
morning that the matter of the va
cation of Orondo avenue and the al
ley might be presented, but owing
to the absence of the mayor the
meeting had to be postponed until
this afternoon. South of Yakima
street the railroad company owns,
most of the land but in the block
from Kittitas to Yakima street the
railroad company wants five feet on
each side abutting the alley for the
laying of a double track, thus serv-
ing the warehouses which might be
built on both sides.
The city council looked with fa-
vor upon the petition of the Great
Northern officials. Just to get an ex-
preston from the members of the
council the matter of the franchise
for the sidetrack in the alley and alsO
on the matter of vacation of Orondo
avenue was put to a vote and 1t was
unanimous in favor of granting the
petition. No formal action could be
taken and the matter will come b.
fore the city council next Tuesday
evening in the form of an ordinance.
During the meeting of the council
1t was decided that instead of the
sidetrack stopping at the intersection
Of Yakima street, that it would be
pushed through to the alley just
south of the old Wenatchee hotel
building. The officials stated that
for some time they had considered
locating the depot at the foot of
Yakima street, but considered that
it would be more convenient for the
city to locate it at the foot of Orondo
and will ask the vacation of that
street for that purpose.
