BANK

The First National bank is occupy

romm adjoining the old location. Mr..
Fisher, when seen this morning.
could not say just when the regular
room would be ready for business
again, as the unsettled transportation
conditions make the getting of fix
lures from the east very uncertain.
The contractors undertook to have
their work done by the first of Feb
ruary, but unless the freight situation
is quickly relieved they will be unable
to do so. Mr.. Fisher contemplates
making some new departures when
the bank is once more settled down
at the old familiar corner, the most
important of which will be the safety
vault service that is being installed
now. Fittings will also be put in for
savings and investment departments
as the bank feels the necessity for
keeping abreast with the growing
custom of combining saving ana
commercial businesses in the same
institutions, until legislation can be
effected to regulate such naturally
disadvantageous combinations.

CONv|CTS FREED N
THIS CITY

Forty cOnvicts were brought in on
the Friday boat from the Methow and
thirty were released here on account
of their time being up. The other ten
were taken on to the penitentiary.
Those who were released were pro-
vided with clothes and S. in money,
also transportation money sufficient
to take them back to the points
where they were committed With
the addition of the transportation
money some of the men had as much
as SIS. Work for labOrers is not
very plentiful now, and the ex-con-
victs will soon be out of funds, un-
less some action is taken to provide
them with means for a livelihood
The men are all in good training for
hard work as they have been on road
building jobs in the Methow all sum

factory that the Methow people raised
fund and gave the men a Thanks

one Of appreciation for work done
and sentiment had very little part in
the motives prompting the citizens.

CANNOT END
STRIKE

st. Paul Dec 27.-What was
hoped to be the final conclusion of
the railway managers and striking
switchmen began in Governor Eber-
harts Office today.
President HaWley of the Switch
mems union said Governor Eberhart
was too optimistic The railroads
are demanding concessions and condi-
tions to which the switchmen will
positively not agree" he said, they
are demanding all and give nothing "
All efforts of Governor Eberhart
to end the strike have apparently fail
ed because of the refusal of the rail-
roads to agree at once to reinstate
the strikers.

CHRISTMAS DAY
RACING
RADIUM TOOK FIRST PRIZE FOR
COLTS AND JUDGE MARTIN ON
OLDER CLASS-MORE RACING
PROMISED FOR THIS WINTER.

The Christmas races that took
place on the lower speedway were sue
cessfHl beyond an expectations. Fully
900 spectators were in the crowd and
the events were pulled off without
any delays. A great deal of credit
was accorded to Sam Campbell, the
helmeted hero who drives the mu-
nicipal steeds to the conflagrations,
for his able management of the pro-
gram. He succeeded in starting all
the races without the continual
jockeying that wearies a crowd, and
handled the program with a mastery
of the situation that promises much
for the success of future races here
Already there is talk on the street of
getting up another program for New
Years day and for still others along
through the season. There was a lot
of talking at the meet about forming
an association and getting a race
track. There is some fine driving
stock in the neighbOrhood of Wenat-
chee, and the owners want to see
some county tairs here and try out
their horses with the best.
Radium took the first prize in the
colt race with a burst of speed that
astonished everybody and showed
some class that puts him in the first
rank. He hardly lifted his feet from
the ground and went along with a
big, pure trot unequalled anywhere
The second prize was taken by
Judge Martins colt, Lolo, and in the
aged race Judge Martin got the first
prize. Both of the judges horses
are registered, and the colt had not
been tried out before.
NJ. o. Merrill's entry got second
prize. Three OF the colts showed
such class that their owners are con
fident of great things in the future
They were Charley Browns PAGER
colt, Ansel Griggs' Radium and Billy
Langs colt.
A feature of the day was some
driving in the second heat of the
colts race, when Charley Brown got
a burst of speed right at the wire
that brought the crowd to the highes
pitch of enthusiasm.
The winners were all decorated
with ribbons furnished by Schade &
Parshan
