K. OF P. BANQUET

The knights banquet given last
/ evening was one of the most enjoy
able affairs ever given in Wenatchee
There were 125 covers laid for the
Knights, their wives and sweethearts,
with most bountiful repast set be-
/ fore them. The program began
promptly at $50, with brother G. O..
Brownell in the'chair The first num-
Der on the program was an instru-
mental selection by Miss Lillian B.
Vaughn; who was encored. and Miss
Vaughn gave second number. The
vocal solo by Prof. Brownell was also
well received. Following this num-
Der, DR.. Stevenson gave very i'm
pressive discourse on friendship,
showing the true intrinsic worth. as
we'll as the personal value, of true
friendship The doctor knew where
of he speaks, and everyone enjoyed
his speech very much.
Following this, Mrs. Emo gave a
German dialect recitation that
brought the house down with hearty
applause.
Following the program, all par
took of the sumptuous repast, and
Brother Thomson responded to the
toast: "Our Lodge and being too
full for utterance, was compelled to
use short breaths for each sentence.
Brother Thomason is a host, and gave
some historic facts in regard to the
organization of the X. Of P. lodge.
Brother Parr gave some reminiscent
ces of Valley lodge No. 116 that
were particularly interesting to the
new members of the lodge. In a few
words Brother Brownell asked that
the visiting brothers become men,
bers of Valley lodge, especially those
who have made their homes here and
expect to make their permanent
home
With everyone served to extreme
fullness and word of good cheer,
the knights bid each other good
night, and this marks the beginning
of a series of sOcials for the winter.
Brothers Flanagan, Cults and Eggi-
man can not be too highly praised
for their efficient manner in serving

TO TURN FIRST DIRT
FOR CANAL
FORMER GOV. JOHN III. M'GRAW
WILL FORMALLY START LAKE
WASHINGTON WAY
CONSTRUCTION WEDNESDAY.

Seattle, Oct. 26.-The first shovel.
ful OF earth in the construction OF
the Lake Washington government
canal will be turned at $3.50 next
wednesday afternoon by former gov
ernor John H. McGraw. The cere-
mony will take place on the neck OF
land between Lakes Union and Wash
lngton, Familiarity known as 'The
Portage" at a point about geo feet
south of Twenty-third avenue.
Prior to the earth-turning cere-
mony speeches will be made by Judge
Thomas Burke. one of the pioneer
advocates of the canal. and John S.
Brace, president of the Lake Wash
ington Canal association, an organiza-
ton that has worked long and faith
fully for the construction of the wa
terway. The exercises will be pre-
sided over by Judge Roger S. Greene,
chairman of the Chamber of Com
merce committee on harbors and har-
Dor Improvements.
Worked Hard for Waterway.
Former Governor McGraw has been
selected to formally begin the con-
struction work on account Of his hav-
Ing been prominently connected for
m
the completion of the canal He has
repeatedly been to Washington to
urge upon congress the Importance
of making a sufficient appropriation
for the completion of the waterway
and his decided stand for the con-
struction of the canal was the only
real issue in his successful campaign
of 1892 for election as governor of
the state of Washington.
The turning of the first shovelful
of earth in the construction of the
canal marks the passage of more than
a half century since the waterway
was first recommended to the United
States government by Gen. George
B. Mcclellan, who urger that con-
gress make an appropriation for the
canal in order that the United States
might secure the greatest strategic
haven in the world for its war yes
sells. At that time there was no city
of Seattle
For many years there was no idea
of any benefit to commerce in the
completion of the canal. but in the
half century that has gone by since
General Mcclellan first suggested the
waterway, there has grown up the
great maritime commerce of Puget
Sound and the present desire for the
early completion of the work comes
from an assumption of the great
benefit it would confer upon the
shipping interests of this city and
state.
The last session of the state legis-
ature gave an appropriation of $780,
900 from the surplus of the sale of
the Lake Washington shore lands for
the construction of a temporary can
al. With this money in sight the con-
tract for the work was let to C. J.
who was recently enjoined
from beginning the excavation work
by a suit brought by William Bilger
and others. This suit is now before
the courts for settlement.

The par value of the capital stocks
of the companies follow: Adams,
$12, 100000; American, $18,OOO,-
900; United States, $1O,O0O,O0O, and
Wells-Fargo, $S,00O,000.
American stock is up to $3.50 a
share, United States to s1O4, Adams
to $3.50 share and Wells-Fargo to
$475 share
Wells-Fargo made an amazing
jump of $93.75 share yesterday
Last year this company earned 58.3
per cent and in the previous year
50.9S per cent of it's capital stock.
There are no encumhrances on the
property, and an enormous reserve
has been built up out of earnings.
The stock pays 10 per cent dividends
and conservative brokers say that
the increase is due to the promise
of an early advance in dividend rates.
Increased Dividends Expected.
The rise in the value of the United
States company's stock is quoted in
the same quarter as due to an in
crease of per cent in the dividend
rate, which put its property upon a
6 per cent basis. Similar dividend
increases have been made by the
Adams and American companies.
Within short time the annual
reports of the Adams, the American
and the United States companies will
be made public, when it will be pos
sible to form some idea why the divi-
dends have been increased at this
time. knowledge that the late E.
H. Hartman thought enough of the
express company stock to invest
more than 100000 in the Platt
companies is said to have been a mar
ket argument responsible for some of
the recent activity in speculation.
Shareholders Are Complaining.
Recent complaints by shareholders,
marshalled under Lawyer Kremer,
have alleged that the management OF
the United States company has not
been satisfactory. and that larger
dividends could and should be paid.
The increasing persistence of COM
planning shareholders is a sufficient
cause for the management to seek
paciication methods by increasing
the dividends. In this manner the
companies may hope. it is said. to
escape an investigation by congress.
