TOWN SITE FAK|RS
ARE BUSY
FULLY 200 DEEDS TO BLUFF
PROPERTY AT COLUMBIA SD
ING HAVE BEEN FILED WITHIN
MONTH AT WATERViLLE.

The following newspaper story was
recently sent out from Waterville:
Down on the rocky shores of the
Columbia river, where the Waterville
branch leaves the main line of the
Great Northern railway, is a new
town. The plat has been filed with
the county auditor for the fee of about
$500, and the papers show hundreds
of lots with streets, alleys, etc.
The site consists of about 800
acres at present, with chance of
additions as the town grows, for land
is plentiful down there. In a month
fully 200 deeds have been recorded.
The company that is selling the
lots is known as the North Coast Land
Company, and the price they receive
for the lots is supposed to be SIS each.
The offices of the company are in Bell
ingham, and most of the people who
have invested are from Idaho and
Washington.
1T has been asserted that the sta
tlonery used has the heading of the
North Coast Railway, but this report
cannot at present be substantiated."
AS has been stated in the Daily
World on several previous occasions
that as near as can be learned the
above is one of the worst land swim
dies that has been attempted in Cen
trail Washington for a great many
years. The lots that are being sold
are absolutely worthless. The COM
pany handling the town site purports
to be a subsidiary company to the
North Coast. This is done for the
purpose of easier deeciving the buy
ing pub..c.
Old-time residents of Columbia Sid
ing who are familiar with the land I'M
der this town site state that it is alb
solutely worthless. neither good for

PICTURE CAUSES
TROUBLE
EMPLOYEES OF SCHMITTEN SAW
MILL NEAR CASHMERE ROW
OVER PHOTO OF ANDREW
JACKSON.

The picture of Andrew Jackson
which aiorns the wall of the eating
house at the Schmitten sawmill, above
Cashmere, came nearly causing ira
gedy the latter part of last week. The
men, among whom were William H.
Bates and Orin E. Sweet, were eating
supper and the conversation drifted
to Andrew Jackson. Bates is a hot
headed southerner and he took excep
tions to a remark made by Sweet and
bitter words were said. Following
supper Sweet went to his shack near
by the cook house. A few minutes
later Bates followed him. armed with
5000, which was cooked and ready
for business Opening the door he
told Sweet that he had come to fix
him. Sweet and the other men in the
room grabbed at Bates and managed
to wrench the gun out of his hands.
One of the men took the gun and ran
away. In the meantime Bates en-
gagged Sweet and a terrific battle was
fought in which Sweet received a Sc.
we're cut on the scalp. Following the
trouble Bates decamped. Sweet went
to Cashmere and lodged a complaint
against the man and the officers are
making search for him. So far he
has been able to elude the vigilance

New York, Nov. 16.-The control
of the Western Union passed today to
the American Telephone & Telegraph

toward merging the telephone and
telegraph companies into corpora
ton with a capitalization of nearly
one billion dollars.

Gus district Bell Telephone companies
in various parts of the country indi-
cate a large increase of the present

at points along the Columbia river

munications on this subject from peo-
pie up the river who are troubled
with poor mail service.

away With rare presence of mind,
and though in a fainting condition,
Deyo crawled and rolled 100 yards

switch was turned to prevent the
passenger train from crashing into
the freight, which had just gone onto
the side track.
The wounded man was brought to

LECTURE ON CHRIS
T|Ah SCIENCE
JUDGE SEPTINUS j. HANNA OUT
LINED TENETS OF FAITH AT
LAST NIGHT.

Judge Septinus J. Hanna spoke to
an appreciative audience last night at
the Wenatchee theatre. He is one
of the most noted Christian Science
leaders of the west and in a clear
and convincing way addressed his
audience as follows:
The subject of my lecture indi-
Gates fairly we'll its scope and pur-
pose, Christian Science, the Reli-
gion of the Bible" We do not mean
by this that Christian Science is the
only religion which claims biblical
authority, but are aware that it is
one thing to claim scriptural author
ity in general way and another
thing to prove such authority from
the Scriptures.
Before proceeding to this branch
of my remarks, however, and acting
upon an assumption which l am in
the habit of acting, namely, that there
of our faith-some, maybe, who are
investigating. but not thoroughly
convinced, some who are skeptical as
to whether Christian Science is what
it purports to be, yet others who
have come for the first time to hear
the subject publicly presented, will
say that Christian Science has a text
book 1t is a treatise on healing
through the power Of God or the Di-
vine~Mind. Or, as we claim, it is a
thorough exegesis Of the scriptural
method of healing all manner of dis
eases, and of curing all manner of
sin through the understanding of
God as all-present, all-powerful, all
wise. In short, it is a spiritual in
depreciation of the Bible.
The author of a book of note and
of value is a person of whom people
desire to know, therefore I shall re-
fer briefly to the life and character
Vi MIS-. Luug. IL Lhdy hot oC oAiiSo
for me to say that for nearly ten
years, as former First Reader in the
Mother church in Boston and editor
of the official periodicals, I have had
opportunities which enable me to
speak intelligently of her life and
character as we'll as of her labors
and literary atatinments.
Speaking from this vantage ground
I can truthfully say that, intellect
ually, she is one of the most alert
persons 7 have ever known; that she
labors necessarily and unselfishly for
the cause to which she has devoted
her life, and that, Notwithstanding
her years, she performs an amount
of labor each day which, If known,
would seem incredible, even il done
by one yet in the adolescence Of life.
my profoundest conviction when
say believe it to be in accord with
the highest standard of Christian
living. Yet, Notwithstanding her
highly spiritual nature, she is withal
an intensely practical person. She
keeps close watch Of current affairs
and acquaints herself with the
worlds doings. She is, moreover. a
patriotic citizen Mrs. Eddy, like all
great religious and moral reformers,
has been the target for misrepresen-
tations and sometimes malicious at

tack The animus of these attacks
is so apparent that they ahve fallen
harmless.
There is in Boston a Mother
Church having a membership COM
posed of persons residing in almost
every part of the country and of
other countries The Mother Church
has branch churches and societies to
the number of more than one thou
sand. also situated in nearly every
part of this country and of other
countries. Some years since the
Mother Church adopted set of
church tenets. These became also
the tenets of all of her branches.
They acknowledge the Scriptures to
be the inspired word of God. They
acknowledge the supremacy and in
finity of God. They acknowledge
Christ and his divinity, and declare
there is but one Christ. They incul
cate the omnipotence, omnipresence
and omniscience of God.
The last of these tenets enjoins
upon all who subscribe to them the
necessity of watching and praying to
have in themselves the same mind
that was also in Christ Jesus, to do
unto others as we would have them
do unto us, and to be merciful, just
and pure.
The early records of this church
contain the following interesting and
significant item "At a meeting OF
the Christian Science Association,
April 19, 1879, on motion of Mrs.
Eddy, it was voted to organize a
church designed to commemorate
the word and works of our Master,
which should reinstate primitive
Christianity and its lost element of
healing"
vening history in witness of the cor
rectness of that early declaration.
During these years many thousands
have been brought out of conditions
of sin, sorrow, grief, woe, distress,
disease and sickness, who, without
the aid of this scientific Christianity,
would have remained in abandoned
and hopeless conditions. We do not
hesitate to say, therefore, as matter
Of current history, that to a most
wonderful and gratifying extent pri
mitive Christianity has been rein
stated and its lost element of healing
reestablished.
Christian Science teaches that God
is in truth Almighty. If He is AL
mighty then surely He is correctly
defined by the other terms Omnipo-
tent, Omnipresent, Omniscient, Su-
preme and Infinite. He who is all
powerful Is always all powerful. He
who is omnipresent is never absent.
He who is all wise is never less than
that, could not be by the very ne
cessity of His all wisdom.
Objection is sometimes made that
Christian Science is heterodox be-
cause, as the objectors claim, it de-
clares against Gods personality.
The Christian Science definition of
God does not describe a more i'm
personal God, as that term is COM
monty used and understood, than
does the orthodox definition as con-
tanned in the Westminster Confession
of Faith. This definition is substan-
TALLY accepted by all churches calling
themselves Evangelical. I quote 1t
almost in full:
There is one living and true God,
who is infinite in being and perfec-
tion, most pure spirit, invisible,
without body, parts, or passions, i'm
mutable, immense, eternal, incom-
prehensible, almighty, most wise.
most holy, most free. most absolute.
most loving, gracious, long-sunering,
abundant In goodness and truth, for
giving iniquity, transgression and

FEEDER
HILL SURVEYORS PRACTICALLY
COMPLETE LOCATION OF The
BRANCH ROAD UP METHOW
RIVER, TAPPING BIG DISTRICT.

Seattle, Nov. 16.-The plans of the
Great Northern Railroad for the de-
velopment of Eastern Washington in
clude the construction OF a branch
road which will bring the rich Methow
Valley into communication with the
markets of the state through the We
natchee- Brewster-Oroville extension
Engineers for the Hill road have near
ly completed surveys for a new feeder
line approximately sixty-fve miles
long from Pateros north up the valley
of the Methow River to Twisp and
Winthrop.
The date of the construction of the
new branch line has not been an
nounced, but sufficient of Hills plans
for the opening O fthe vast Okanogan
country has been betrayed to indicate
beyond a doubt that actual cOnstruc-
tion will quickly follow the completion
o1 the surveys in the Methow.
Moreover, the Great Northern en-
gineers have been active in the dis
trict between Mansfield, the present
terminus of the Waterville extension,
to Bridgeport, an important point on
the line to Orroville. The cOnstruc-
tion of these two projected extensions
will give the Great Northern not only
valuable feeder lines into undeveiOped
agricultural and stock raising sec
tions of Okanogan County, but will al
so complete the chain of lines planned
years ago for an outlet to the Hill
system north of the boundary line.
Steam ShoveIs at Work.
Steam shovels are now at work on
both ends of the Brewster-Oroville ex-
tension. The announcement of the
award of the contract was made three
months ago. Climate conditions are
such that work can be carried on all
winter.
OF the Brewster Oroville line, M. j.
Costello, assistant traffic manager for
the Great Northern, said when asked
as to the progress of the work.
1T is planned to complete the line
to Oroville so that freight and pass
enger service can be inaugurated in
the fail of 1910. We ought to be able
to handle the crops of the Okanogan
country next October"
