Editor Daily World:
In last evenings issue of your pa
per, l see that Mr.. Fuller is still
raising dust about an issue which
he insists on calling the bond issue,
but which to the average reader
would be properly defined under an
other caption, the name of which is
apparent in every paragraph of his
article.
If the bond issue is his real trou-
BILE am at loss to understand why
he does not confine himself to the
subject instead of entering into a de-
fense of another class of business,
which has no proper place in this
discussion.
If it were not for the numerous
misstatements made in this article
which might have some influence on
those who are not familiar with the
tactics being adopted. I would not
again have asked for space in your
paper.
The question now before the peo-
pie is: Shall the $4,000 bond is
sue asked for unanimously" by the
council be voted by the people of
Wenatchee? The council has de-
creed that the money is to be used
for general municipal improvements,
most of which have been begun and
are very familiar to everyone.
The council was unanimous in hav-
ing it read this way. as the amounts
for the various purposes were not
known. For instance, a goOdly por-
ton of the amount was expected to
be used on the cross streets in paw

E[KS TR|PPED
LIGHT FANTASTIC
ONE HUNDRED COUPLES EN-
JOYED BALL IN NEW CLUB
HOUSE OF THE NEWLY ORGAN
IZED ANTLERS.

The Elk hall in the new Gehr
building on Wenatchee avenue north
was the scene of one of the gayest
and most pleasant social functions,
last evening, ever held in this city.
The occasion was brought about as
celebration of the opening of the
first lodge room of that order in We
natchee. The newly tinted walls and
the splendid arrangement of the hall
showed off at its best, having been
decorated especially for the occasion.
Purple and white bunting, represent
ing the colors of the Elks, draped the
walls and hung across to the chande-
liers, while other decorations at the
hands of an expert produced an ef-
feet never before equalled in the city.
An eight piece orchestra was seat
ed in the a1cove constructed for them
and the strains of the music were
waited through the hall, with about
100 couples tripping the light fan
tastic. During the evening punch was
served as an invigorator, and the ball
was replete with full dress suits and
gowns decolette. Those who did not
care to participate in the dancing
found entertainment in the side
rooms at cards and social chats
After about three hours of dancing
the guests were treated to luncheon
skillfully prepared in the up to date
lunch room, which is one of the fea-
lures of the new clubs home. Again
the colors of the Elks greeted the
guests as the purple and white ice
cream was nimbly passed to the plea
sure seekers. Salads, cake and cof-
fee were served also. and at an early
hour in the morning the brilliant
affair was over, the memory OF which
though, will be treasured as one OF
the most pleasant ever spent in the
city.
The new club is known as the Ant
lers club and is composed Of about
so members of the Elks lodge who
have been planning for some time
to open up a club room in this city.

tising and the club gave it its sane

THE GREAT WEST
COLONIST RATES DRAW SET
TIERS FOR THIS REGION SAYS
MAX BASS OF THE GREAT
NORTHERN.

Colonization figures furnished by
Hartman and Hill railroads at Chi
cago show that travel to the Pacific
northwest this spring will break all
previous records. Of the number
which have already arrived over the
Hartman lines over so per cent went
to Portland and other Oregon towns.
Figures and estimates from the Har-
riman roads for March and April
make the total colonist travel to the
Pacific northwest 10000. This is
twice what it was over the same
roads last year
Great Northern Estimate.
Max Bass, of the Great Northern,
who was here this week, said:
THE new settlers are coming from
all parts of the United States, as we'll
as from Europe, and the majority
are possessed of sufficient capital t.
take up some line of business or TO
engdge in diversified or specialized
farming. 1t is estimated that the
colonist rates will bring $4,000 peo-
pie west this year."

INDIAN AGENT WEBSTER GOES
TO LOOK OVER LAND-MOUTH
OF OKANOGAN RIVER CHOSEN
FOR 1T.
(By Associated PreSs.)

Brewster, Wash, April 13.-Capt
John Mac A. Webster, Indian agent
of the Colville reservation, with
headquarters at Miles, Wash, passed
through here today en- route to the
mouth of the Okanogan river, where
he will look over the site of the
proposed townsite on the reservation
The bill was passed by the legisla-
ture and a memorial sent to con-
gress suggesting that the govern
ment lay out a townsite on the res
ervation at the confiux of the Colum-
bia and Okanogan rivers. 1t covers
a tract of about five miles long by
four wide.
About 20 Indian families live OF
and are farming places there, some
of them having lived there for the
last nine or ten years.
This spot is wher the first white
settlement was made in the interior
of Washington, and was then full

all that is left of the first white set

CHARGED WITH
CRIMINAL ASSAULT
LUDWIG MYRBERG, A SWEDE,
LIVING NEAR CASHMERE, WAS
JAILED LAST NIGHT FOR AS
SAULTING 8 YEAR OLD GIRL.

Another revolving case has come
to the attention of the officers of
this county and has resulted in the
arrest of Ludwig Myrberg, a Ewede
homesteader living at Camas, near
Cashmere, charged with criminal as
sault on the person of Frieda John
son, the 9 year old daughter of Mr..
and Mrs. Alfred Johnson, a neighbor
of Myrberg. The details of the case
are unprintable but the tale of the
little child as told to her mother
and repeated to the officers and
neighbors has aroused a storm of in
dignation, and following the arrest
the man was brought to this city for
safe keeping, it being feared that
an attempt might be made to lynch
him at Cashmere last night should
he be left there.
Myrberg will have hearing today
at Cashmere, before Justice Jordan.
He is a man of about 35 years of
age and has lived for some time on
a homestead near Camas. The par
ents of the girl are highly respected
people and are very indignant at the
outrage that has been made on the
little daughter.

had been stated, the plan would be
upset already, as the citizens seem
to have decided that they do not want
the street paved, hence the cost to
the city would be much less for that.
purpose.
Therefore, by leaving the matter
in the hands of the council, not only
this one item could be handled more
| judiciously, but the whole amount
could be expended more advisedly.
These improvements have been
commenced and can, and will pro-
ceej; warrants can be issued, as they
were when Mr.. Fuller and associates
were on the council, which bear
per cent interest instead of or
per cent under a bond issue. We
natchee cannot and will not stand
still, nor will the people support a
policy that tends in that direction.
All of the ill-advised twaddle about
the saloon man who lost his license
by the Unanimous" vote of the coun-
Gill; and about the w. C. T. U. sell
ing chewing gum and popcorn, and
getting money from an "ex-wet"
council to fight the saloon evil, does
not appeal to the people nor does it
appeal to the so-called business men
from whom Mr.. Fuller has elected
himself spokesman.
His intimation that the current ex-
pense of the city this year is dispro-
portionate with that of other years
is false, as a reference to the city
records will disclose.

Report on Adulterated Milk.

center of the city. The opinion was
expressed that a location on Wenat-
chez or Orondo avenues would be
more satisfactory, but the financial
difficulties in the way of getting a
location there seemed insuperable,
and when the vote was finally taken
there were no dissenting votes to
the recommendation of the commit
tee.
DR.. w. A. Stevenson, chairman of
the committee on civic improvement,
submitted a report on the desirable
ity of taking some action to investi-
gate the conditions surrounding dai-
ries and the handling of milk from
a sanitary standpoint. He called
attention to the provisions Of the
new criminal code which require
cleanliness and prohibit adulteration
or the use of preservatives. The
danger of an epidemic could be
averted by giving attention to this
important question in time, he main
tanned, and the club voted to adopt
the report and appoint committee
to call the attention of the city coun-
Gil to this important matter.
Reports were made by the chair
men of the committees on finance,
education and statistics. DR.. Blake
stated that the financial committee
was considering the adoption of a
button with an appropriate red ap-
pie design to be sold at the A.-Y.-P
exposition, from which it was hoped
to make a handsome profit as well
as advertise the valley.
Mr. Gum said that the committee

y Important reports were made by
chairmen of the various committees
and definite action taken on them at
the meeting of the Commercial club
last night. The report of most i'm
mediate interest was that made by
Mr.. Gum, chairman of the building
committee, in respect to the Selec-
tion of the site on Chelan avenue be-
tween the rectory and the Presby-
terian church for the new club build
ing. Mr.. Gum stated that while
plenary powers had been granted to
the committee to act on the selection
of a site, yet the committee pre-
ferred to submit its recommends
tions to the commercial body for its
approval He explained carefully
the difficulties which confronted the
committee in the selection of a site,
the desirability of getting a loca-
ton which would permit the erection
of a commodious structure and yet
keep the cost within the financial
ability of the club. In arriving at
the final decision to recommend the
site on Chelan avenue as the most
satisfactory, he stated that the de-
cision had been reached by a pro-
cess of elimination after a careful
4 examination of various proposed
sites.

themselves as being in hearty agree

Prices for Winter on Eggs
Haze Already Been Fixed

Winter prices on eggs have set in.
The quotation scared around the 30
31-cent mark today. and there is a
strong probability that 1t will not fan
under that mark in some time.
The advance in price is the direct
result OF a shortage in supply. which
has made itself felt in the shipments
of the last two days.
II has been expected generally that
storage eggs would begin to be
emptied on the market when the price
reached 30 cents. Apparently the
storage season is about to open, but
whether-it viii result in sending the
price back TO its former basis may not
be forecast with any degree OF ac-
cuTacy. The situation will be deter
mined mainly by the supply Of fresh
eggs that reaches the market
Dealers do not anticipate the price
becoming cheaper than 30 cents and
many Of them believe a straight 22-
cent market is ahead for a consider
able length OF time
