''DEADHEAD''! NAIL
CARS
EQUIPMENT FOR FAST TRAINS
GOES EAST-FROM SPOKANE
TO LEAVENWORTH SIX CLERKS
REQUIRED.

Most of the equipment which
makes up the Great Northern's new
fast mail and express train, started
last week between St. Paul and Sc
attic to hold the mail contracts, is re-
turning east as "deadhead" on
train No. Q, known as the Oriental
Limited
The train consists of three cars
made up of a mail car in which the
clerks work, storage mail car and
one car made up of express matter
1t is comparatively easy matter to
return this equipment on train No. 2
to st. Paul With the many fast mail
trains to the west no special effort
ever has been made to hurry mail
east and there never has been run a
special mail train east from the Pa
cific northwest. In most cases it Is a
difficult matter to work the eastbound
mails in such shape that the service
will employ all the clerks necessary
to handle westbound matter.
From Spokane to Leavenworth, the
first passenger division west of Spo-
kane, six clerks are required to work
the cars, while from Leavenworth to
Seattle but three are required.

within the northwest btu as far east
as Illinois, and a probably reduction
from points still farther east. These
special rates will be good for 80 days

railroads will allow patrons to come
to Spokane over one line and return
via another.

NO LEGAL VOTERS
IN CITY
LAW PROVIDES THAT VOTERS
SHALL DESIGNATE PARTY AT.
FIIATION TO BE ELIGIBLE TO
PARTICIPATE IN PRIMARIES.

There is a possibility of an entire
ly new registration in this city be-
fore the city primaries of November
9. The amended primary law es-
pecially provides, relative to the
qualified voter participating in The
primary that When he desires to
vote at said primary each elector
shall have a right to receive the bal
lot only of the party for which he
registered, if living in a precinct in
which registration is required"
So far in the city there has not
been a single voter out of the 500
registrations who has designated his
party affiliation-not even the city
attorney, Judge Of the superior court
nor lawyer candidate for mayor. The
situation was discussed among sew
eral of the city officials this morning,
several of whom are candidates this
fall and the city attorney has been
asked to pass on the legal phase Of
the question. The attorney general
of the state gave an opinion to the
book concern that printed the cleo
tion blank at Olympia in which it
was nclu tlldG CulS Id is d law uHtll
it is repealed or knocked out by the
courts and as the party affiliation
provision is still in effect it is law
From all parts of the state there
are complaints being made against
the proposition of registering the
party Affiliations. In many places it
is being ignored entirely and this in
spite of the fact that the attorney
general has held that the law is valid
and should be enforced.
In Wenatchee no one has paid any
attention to It, The impression has
gone forth that it Is not necessary
and every voter has merely regis
tered as usual. The fact that a man
has not put his party af1Hation on
record would not under the provi-
sions OF the law bar him at the gen.
eral election bat 1t would prevent
him from participating in the pri-
maries. The law was passed on the
theory that republican has no right
in the democratic, socialist, or any
other primary any more than he
would have a right to participate in
their caucuses, and vice versa
Had this registration oversight not
been discovered in time to give the
voters an opportunity to register
prior to the primary election and the
courts hai held that the oversight
was defective it would have meant
that there were no legal voters in
this city and the present administra-
tion would then have held over an
other term. It is expected that the
city attorney will pass on this ques-
tton within the course of few days
and If he deems it necessary for re-
registration there will be plenty OF
time for the voters to get right on
the books before the primaries. on
the 9th of next month.

HEARING FREIGHT
RATES

Seattle. Oct. For the first time
on the Pacific coast full member
ship of the interstate commerce COM
mission today began hearing in Sc
attic of the Seattle-Portland case It
is the contention of the shippers that
they should have freight rates as low
as points in Montana and Idaho on
east bound shipments as those given
st. Paul, Chicago, Omaha and Kansas
City on west bound shipments. Suits
filed in San Francisco by shippers are
involving the same principle. Port
land shippers endeavored to have
their case heard in Portland but the
press Of business obliged the COM
mission to rule that the hearing
would be heard here.
Representatives of Astoria shipping
interests have asked that the Astoria
complaint be heard here, but 1t was
informed If it wished to file COM
plant that the present rates were un-
reasonable the commission would
then consider the petition, and IL As
toria's grievance seemed to justify a
hearing it would summon the rail-
roads to answer Astoria wants the
same terminal rates granted Portland
and other coast cities.

RULE IN IRELAND.

London, Oct TT. P. O'Connor
will sail soon for the United States
at the request of John E. Redmond,
the Irish leader, to explain the po-
litical situation to the. supporters of
the Irish cause in America and to
appeal for funds to carry on the
struggle for home rule. Nationalists
regard the approaching general elec-
ton as one of the most critical per-
iods in their history and the full
power of their organization will be
utilized in helping the liberals de-
vote, which they claim is the sole
remaining obstruction to home rule.

W|[MEROTH To RE-
MAIN HERE
HIMSELF WITH II.
r. ELLINWOOD IN REAL
ESTATE AND PROMOTION BUsI-
NESS.

c. W. Wilmeroth, who came into
this valley early last spring as a rep
resentative of three big eastern ap-
pie houses, has decided to cast his
fortunes with this place and has be-
come associated with r. r. Ellinwood
in the real estate and promotion
business. The Offices of this firm will
remain the same as that occupied by
Mr.. Ellinwood in the Lillis building.
Mr.. Wilmeroth has made his home
in Illinois for a great many years and
is consireded an authority on the
marketing of apples. An address de-
livered by Mr.. Wilmeroth last year
before the Missouri State Horticultu-
raj society is being used as text
book on fruit marketing in that state.
In a recent letter written to this city
by H. w. Stark, president of the
Stark Bros. Nursery company, 1t was
stated that Mr.. Wilmeroth was the
greatest apple man in the world to-
day.
Mr.. Ellinwood, since starting in
some three months ago. has built up
quite a lucrative real estate busi-
ness and it is the intention of both
himself and Mr.. Wilmeroth to go
east this winter with some large
colonization propositions.
Mr.. Wilmeroth has very wide ac-
quaintance in the east. Many of his
friends have requested him to recon-
mend orchard investments. Il is
the plan of the new firm to induce
buyers from the outside to invest in
the Wenatchee valley. To that end
Wilmeroth & Ellinwood are planning
to equip themselves for the manage
ment of orchards and the marketing
of fruit, so that clients living at a
distance may receive the benefit OF
Wenatchee orchard investments, the
local firm being under bond and con-
tract to properly care for the in
vestors' property.
Mr.. Wilmeroth last week purchased
a ranch in the Moses COulee. He is
negotiating for an orchard near We
natchee ani expects to become ex-
tensively interested in Wenatchee
property as rapidly as may be per-
United by the sales of his eastern
holdings.

Erecting New Packing House.

Emil Frank is erecting fine large
packing house and cold storage plant
near the railroad track north of town
not far from the Wenatchee river
bridge. The new building is so ar
ranged that a whole carload of cattle
may be handled at one time. The
equipment will be in many ways SIM
liar to that used In the large packing
houses of the country. The building
is planned to accommodate the con.
stantly increasing meat trade of We
natchee and vicinity. The cost will
approximate $1,000.

L. G. Monroe, secretary of the Spo-
kane Chamber of Commerce, has

Cut in Chicago Salaries.

Chicago, Oct. IA cut of 10 per
cent in the salaries of all the officials
and employees in this city, from
Mayor Busse's $4,000 down to the
lowliest laborer. has been agreed
upon by the mayor and department
heads for the next year Drastic
measures are necessary from the fact
that Chicago has not enough money
to maintain the payroll at its nor
NAL level. The payroll last year was
approximately $15,000,000. A cut
before becoming effective must be
sanctioned by the city council, in
which big fight against 1t is ex-
pected.

Will Ship by Carloads.

The tide is coming in for the Olds
company-in other words, the large
acreage of orchard which this COM
pany has been putting out from year
to year has begun to come into bear
ing and it is only a question of a
very few years until the carloads
which come from this orchard will
be counted by the score. The first
trees that were set out are now five
years old There are $50 Rome Beau
ties that will average 8 boxes per
tree: $50 Jonathans which produce
$50 boxes of fruit and 20 Winter Ba-
nanas which will average boxes per
tree. From the nine acres of the
first setting there are only about one
third of the trees in bearing and these
will net the owners $500.
The Oljs company has 1000 Of
the King David variety which are
now three years old and which are
priced by the owner. These had a
few apples on this year and in two
years from now they will yield a nice
crop.

The county levy last year was but 10
mills, whereas the county levy this
year is 14.04 State legislation is

pupil enrolled in the schools of the
county. In round numbers there are
300 school children enrolled and
this necessitates the county raising

NIGHT SESSIONS IN SENATE
Little Time to Spare In Either House
If Appropriation Bills Are to
Become Laws Before
Adjournment.

Washington, Feb. 15.-Congress
this week will give all possible atten'
ton to appropriation bills as it has
become a pressing necessity that both
houses shall act promptly If the meas
ures are to become laws in the few
remaining days of the session. The
senate will take up the naval bill on
Monday and when that is disposed OF,
the postofice bill will receive atten-
ton.
The senate IL. SO far behind that
night sessions will be necessary. The
house Is in better shape, but has little
time to spare.
Work on the Indian bill will be re-
sumed on Monday. 1t will be fol-
lowed either by the consular and dip
lomatic bill or the fertilization ap-
preparation bill. a.
Aside from the appropriation bills
the senate has its hands full, and it
Ia probable that early attention will
be given to the Canadian boundary
waterways treaty and the Newfound-
land treaty. The Panama and Colon
bia treaties still remain to be acted
upon, but the indications are that
they may not be disposed of until af-
ter March 4. The nominations to
which there are objections will go
over with the result that the incom-
ing president will have an opportun-
ity to fill the places with men of his
own selection.
The house Monday will consider the
bill giving separate statehood to New
Mexico and Arizona, and likely will
pass 1t. Prospects for the bill in the
senate are unfavorable.
The bill removing the constitution
al distractions In the way Of Senator
Knox's becoming secretary Of state
likely will be favorably acted upon
BY the house. Some Of the members
regard the measure as Objectionable,
but will not oppose 1t.
