MISSING BRIDE
APPEARED
MRS. l.. c. HURLBURT BELIEVED
TO HAVE BEEN IN WENATCHEE
IN SECLUSION-RELA OP-
POSED WEDDING.

Mrs. l.. c. Hurlburt, formerly Miss
Elnora Walt, the bride who left her
husband in this city last Saturday
night after one hour of married life,
is in the city. 1t was reported that
she had taken the train for Seattle.
Her husband. Mr.. Hurlburt, went 70
the coast to find her but arrived IN
the city again this morning. 1t is
thought that the bride did not leave
the city at all but was kept in seclu-
sion by her parents until the matter
quieted down. 1t is said that both
the parents of the girl and her
grandparents are very bitterly op-
posed to the marriage and have other
plans for the girl.
Mr.. Hurlburt after arriving in the
city this morning made arrangements
for an interview and it is thought
that Notwithstanding the opposition
OF the parents that reconciliation
will be effected Friends of the two
believe that the girl really loves Hurl-
burt but that it was the opposition of
the old folks that separated them.

CONTRACT
WILL OBEY
LAW
MEN WHO HAVE BEEN WORKING
CREWS TEN HOURS PER DAY
WILL OBEY ORDERS OF THE
LABOR COMMISSIONER

There is nothing new in the en-
forcement of the eight hour law by
the street regrade contractors. Labor
Commissioner Hubbard left the city
yesterday and it was with the under
standing that the city authorities
would notify the contractors that
eight hours only on the streets will
be allowed. Contractor McKiver
stated this morning that If the city
puts it up to him as an order that he
will obey it., notwithstanding the fact
that it works great hardship on
him. Mr.. McKiver states that ne
hopes to complete his contract by the
time the cold weather sets in and in
order to do so he must put in all the
hours possible. He is paying his men
$3.50 per day for ten hours-25
cents per hour and he says that he
cannot cut the wages as the men
cannot pay their expenses and save
anything on any less. Other of the
street contractors have all expressed
themselves that the enforcement of
the eight hour law will retard their
work, yet if the authorities insist on
the enforcement of the law they will
obey it,

CONSIDERING ADD|-
T|ONA[ ROUTES
POSTMASTER HULL HAS LETTER
FROM DEPARTMENT STATING
ADDITIONAL RURAL ROUTES
ARE UNDER CONSIDERATION.

Postmaster Hull had a letter this
morning from the fourth assistant
postmaster general stating that the
department has under consideration
the establishment of one or two ad-
d'tional rural routes from Wenatchee,
but he states that no action will be
taken towards placing this service in
operation unless assurance is given
that there will be no difficulty in Sc
curing and retaining carriers on the
routes. so that there may be no in
terruption in service owing to the
lack of carriers. When this letter
was written it is evident that the
department had in mind the serious
trouble that 'has occurred on rural
route No. 8. During the existence of
this rural service there has been
many changes owing to the inability
to continue carriers on that route.
The service pays but SIS per month
and only recently the patrons OF the
East Wenatchee side of the river had
to guarantee an additional $25 to
supplement the wage paid by Uncle
Sam. in order to guarantee the es-
tablishment of the routes in contem-
plation the patrons will have to give
assurance to the department that
carriers can be secured for the SIS.

Can Grow Cotton Here.

There is employed on the Joe Green
place south of the city a young man
who came here from Georgia this
spring. He brought with him some
cotton seed and for an experiment
planted 1t on the Green place. II
grew rapidly and ripened. A stalk
was brought in this morning and is
now on exhibition at the Lillis con-
fectionery store Were cotton as
profitable crop as the big red apple
it is safe to say that it could be sue
cessfully grown here but in the Ital-
ian climate of the Wenatchee valley
cotton, tobacco, peanuts, yams which
thrive in the south could be grown
here, yet the growing of apples and
fruit is SO much more profitable that
tese other products are simply side
line.
Mrs. G. Ross Chambers, Miss Kath-
crime and Roland Chambers, of Cit
ronelle, Alabama. arrived last night
to visit her aunt, Mrs. J. o. Stout,

GOV. HAY ON Open
RIVERS
IN ANSWER TO LETTER OF SEC
RETARY OF NORTH CENTRAL
WASHINGTON DEVELOPMENT
LEAGUE PLEDGES EFFORTS.

Some few days ago E. NJ. Elliott,
secretary of the North Central Wash
ington Development league, wrote
Governor Hay as to the efforts that
are being made among the residents
of this section towards the clearing
away of the bad places in the Column
bia river and also enclosed clippings
from the Wenatchee Daily World re-
garding the work of the steamer
Yakima Governor Hay answered the
letter of Mr.. Elliott as follows:
II am in receipt of your kindness
of the 10th inst. and enclosing clip
pings relative to the opening of the
Columbia river. / am very much in
favor of the fullest development pos
s:5le of the internal waterways of
or state. I believe there is little we
can do to bring about a quicker de-
velopment than that of opening up of
our navigable streams to transporta-
tion and it IS largely for that reason
I am taking this trip to st. Louis and
down tie river to New Orleans to
get in touch with the people in charge
of the Lakes-to-Gulf Deep Waterway
association. Should the movement
for the improvement of our internal
waterways grow I want our state to
be ready and join in the movement.
Irrigation and transportation will
make the Columbia river valley one
of the most thickly settled, prosper
Gus portions of our country Instead
of dozen or so boats plying the
water intermittently between the
British line and the mouth of the
Columbia we should have several
hundred.
"You may rest assured shall do
all in my power to bring about the
desired result

ORGANIZATION EFFECTED IN
SPOKANE LAST NIGHT OF
PRESS OF EASTERN WASHING
TON-O. X. FOR POINDEXTER.

Spokane. Oct. 21.-To uphold the
hands of Congressman Miles Poin-

ly to the policy of the insurgents in
congress, a movement led in the SEN
ate by Senator Robert M. La Toilette
of Wisconsin, editors of country
newspapers throughout eastern
Washington met at Davenport's yes
terday noon and organized the Pro-
gressive Republican league. About
20 editors and publishers were rep
resented.
The organization is expected later
to lead to a statewide movement 1t
is proposed to make the organization
felt throughout the state in arousing
the people against Cannonism and
Aldrichism.
Later the league may take an act-
i've part in the senatorial campaign
in this state. However, no stan1 was
taken relative to the senatorship. al
though John L. Wilson. Judge Smell
and other possible material were
mentioned at the meeting.
The league organized by electing
Rufus Woods, Wenatchee Daily
World. president; William D. Smith.

fus R. Wilson, Maiden Herald, secre-
tary. An executive committee and
other officials will be chosen later
Indorse Roosevelt Policies.
President Woods and Secretary
Wilson of the league issued the fol-
lowing statement last night:
"The object of the league is -
work for corporate and political hon
esty. combined with personal hon
esty. We indorse the policies of
Theodore Roosevelt, Robert M. La
Toilette and Senator Bristow and
Judge Poindexter and insurgent
members generally, and we approve
the stand of such well known publi-
cations as Success, Everybody's, the
Saturday Evening Post and Golfers,
as regards the insurgent movement.
1.-The members of the league met
Senator La Toilette, and, in fact, it
was the occasion of his visit that got
us together. He congratulated us on
the formation of the league and the
stand We are taking. Congressman
Poindexter also congratulated us.
Although no set speeches were
made all who were at the meeting
were of one mind as to the wisdom of
organizing.
Our expectation is that the secre-
tary will call us together for sec
ond meeting in the course of the next
few weeks. At that time our plans
will be more fully matured.
While we are starting with this
congressional district as a nucleus,
the league may become statewide at
a later date In this district over 80
republican papers already have de-
cided to become members of the
league Of this number approx
mately 20 were represented today.
This is a great national move
ment which is rapidly crystallizing,
and this organization is only an evil
dence of the way the movement is
taking shape.
