FROM ICE JAM
BOAT new AT ENTIAT LANDING
GREW CAME DOWN TODAY
ENORMOUS ICE JAMS IN THE
COLUMBIA. zsa.-s

The little steamer North Star has
been saved from the dangers of thu
ice jam and is now safe and sound
at the dock at Entiat. The crew had
a perilous time and it took strenu-
Lous efforts to release the little boat.
The crew came down today from En-
tiat
There are a large number of ice
Jams between here and Brewster.
There is one at Rocky Reach, one at
Entiat, one at Dicks, at Brays, and
from the docks here as far down the
river as can be seen there is a huge
jam and ice is piled ten to twenty
feet in some places.
The weather has been cold enough
to freeze the river over solid had the
water been less swift. Some twenty
years ago the Columbia river froze
over so hard at Kennewick and Pas
co that rails we're laid ON the ice
ami whole trains were run over :ae
river For almost a month the trains
Cre esed the river on the ice bridge.
IT is a great sight to see the river
of ice at this place now, and a great
many people are going down daily
to view this enormous jam.

GAVE FINE
FRUIT SERVICE
Continued from First Page.)

we made a special effort to move
Wenatchee apples from Wenatchee
to the various eastern markets in
the shortest possible time. Quite a
number of special trains were made
up at Wenatchee and run as Wenat-
chez apple specials to our eastern
terminals. We have compiled a list
or statement showing the time made
by a few of these trains. You will
notice that the average running time
from Wenatchee to st. Paul, a dis
lance of 164S miles, Is about Ave
days. The fastest schedule running
time of our through eastern freight
train, over same route, is seven days.
This manner of handling proved
very satisfactory to our shippers and
1t would probably be the proper
thing to do to inaugurate similar
service for handling of. not only We
natchee apples, but all Wenatchee
fruit during the coming season.
1--WE expect to have several hun
dred new refrigerator cars and we
will certainly use our best efforts to
do our part in making the business
from Wenatchee during the year of
1909 look better than any previous
year, or any other fruit growing To-
cality.
I'VE will always be pleased to re-
ceive suggestions as to how the serv-
ice could be improved.

WIDOW FILES SUIT
FOR HALF MILLION
Insurance Companies Have Fought
Payment of Policy on Theory
That Burdette was Suicide

Muskogee Ok, Jan. 22-Mrs. Susie NJ.
Burdette, widow Of the late Joshua Bur
dette, and +. c. Million. executor Of the
Burdett estate, have entered suit in the
United States court here TO recover l-2
million dollars insurance upon the life of
the late Joshua Burdette against the Penn
Mutual Insurance company of Philadel-
phia, the Nmerican National Insurance
company II Galveston. the Provident Saw
ings Life Assurance society OF New York
the Mutual Life of New York and the
Fidelity and Casualty company Of New
York
Joshua Burdette, senior member and
founder Of the Burdette Mercantile COM
pany Of Eufaula, pioneer merchant Of
the Creek country and currently reputed
to be very wealthy man, was the victim
of an unknown assassin three years ago.
At the time Of his death Mrs Burdette
was in Muskogee, Burdette's body was
found on the well curb. Lying on the
ground near the body was found the re-
volver with which Burdette was killed.
For a time il was believed Burdette had
committed suicide, but a thorough nves-
tigation of his business affairs revealed no
cause for such action and the assassna-
ton theory was officially adopted
The insurance companies for some time
fought the payments Of the claims on the
suicide theory, but having given up this
theory, in the present litigation, they assert
that in answering the examiners
questions in applying for policies
Burdette made false replies, The
further assertion is made that. al
though he said that he was not
addicted to the liquor habit, subsequent
Investigation beled the statement
The case is set for hearing February
before Judge Ralph Campbell

DECLARES
PLEA REFUTED
Declares Two Cent Passenger and
Maximum Freight Rate Law
in Missouri Absurd
BY Associated Press

By Associated Press
Kansas City, Mo, Jun 22-Governor
Hadley made the principal argument here
today for the state in the Missouri state
eases IN which eighteen railroads in the
state are contesting the two cent passen-
ger fare and maximum freight rate laws.
Judge O NJ Spencer Of ST. Joseph. Mo,
general solicitor Of the Burlington system
made the leading argument for the rail-
ways Governor Hadley asserted that the
proposed freight rates we're reasonable,
aud if the railroads would stop discrimin-
atng they could easily comply with the
two cent law Judge Spencer declared
that the laws under Consideration, on
their faces refuted the legal presumption
in theif.favorand that they were not frame
edaiter due consideration These laws, he
declared came about as the result Of po-
litica conditions and not from any pub
tic demand, OF public necessity.

Liquor Question Belongs in Politics Declares
PiRsburger in Speech Before Model License
League - Says Prohibition in Kansas
Means Graft and Enables Dishonest
Officials to Reap Harvest

graft The prohibition law out there is
the power that upholds graft and enables
dishonest officials TO play fast and loose
with the "Jointists.
4 believe state wide prohibition would
never be mentioned If it we're generally
understood by our people, that prohibition
is but the name for a law that takes the
sale of liquors out Of responsible hands
and places il in the hands Of men who
are desperate enough to defy the law,
that instead Of protecting the young from
the temptation to drink, brings the yilest
decoctions 10 the very shadows of the
home and that there is no way to protect
the youth from the influence of the boot
Logger who is here today and there tomor-
row, who has noresponsiblity and whose
only aim like that Of many Of his more
respectable brothers, is money only
money
If it should be more generally under
stood that the quantityof liquor consumed
is as great or greater in a prohibition
state than in others, that there is no
regulation Of the sales or Of the quantity
of the stuff sold no revenue to the state
from such sales, in prohibition states and
that often the prosecutor becomes a per-
secutor who alternately protects and prose
cutes.
Prohibition means not temperance but
lawlessness, and the more powerful the
movement becomes and the more numer-
GUS It's advocates, the nearer we approach
the reign Of anarchy and outlawry
Dr. Callen discussed the effect Of the
anti-liquor law in Kansas, particularly in
Salina and Pttsburg. As a temperance
movement he said. prohibition in Salina
is a failure, both morally and financially,
and the end is not yet This was true Of
other cities in the state, he asserted.

Louisville. KY, Jan. 22-National regu-

Dr. J. F. Callen, Of Pittsbure Kansas a
speaker al the convention Of the Model
License League today "The liquor ques-
ton, the speaker said, belongs in
politics. Il has the same right there that
the tariff QUESTION has; It is national
question, not question that can be
determined in a vestry meeting, or even
in one State Legislature, and il should be
governed and regulated from the nation
The United States owns every drop Of
liquor and beer in the country today
There is not a distiller in the state of
Kentucky, or any other state, that dares

ment but product that paid IN the forty
years after the Civil War over fifty-seven
per cent Of the entire cost of the war, or
In other words, eighty-three per cent of

Pension Departments
IL the federal government needs the
revenue Il collects from liquor il should
lend its protection TO the man who dis
penses the product and who pays the
government tax
Prohibition is not a temperance move
ment as applied to the sale and use Of
stmulants. Prohibition movements seek

The growing and swapping of dogs

good-humored bantering heralded
the arrival of the neighbors. There

there was Jim Polk Brezentine; but
above all, perhaps, there was Sim
Bumpus, the wit. Brezentine, who,
as Big Lige once remarked, chad got
jest ernuff education ter make him

wore his hat on one side of his head,
and he took particular care that the
legs of his brown jeans trousers
should not hide the red shoe-strings
in the yellow tops of his boots. He
was a favOrite among the young
women, for he could take up a book

The wit was of that peculiar type
never seen in any part of the coun-
try where the railway engine rushes
like a storm of civilization. Yellow
hair, head like pineapple cheese,
eyes Of butter-milk hue, a grin that
sought not much-needed rest-all to-
gether describe, as nearly as possible,
the type of manhood represented by
Mr.. Sim Bumpus.
Sallie accompanied Lige to a small
pond near which a large log fire had
been made.
