Would Make Trip to Mansfield.

Some months ago there was a talk
among the business men of the CITY
that it would be conducive to better
trade relations between the Wenat-
chez business men and the towns
along the line of the Wenatchee-
Mansfield railway for an excursion
over that road. This plan, however.
was not carried out, but there seems
70 be general feeling among the
business men that if somebody should
take the initiative in getting up the
excursion that it would be well pa
troniZed and would be productive of
great deal of good 1t has been
stated that a special sleeping car
might be provided to leave here on
the regular train, which departs at
about 4 o'clock, and the return could
be made on the regular train which
arrives here at noon. It is likely
that after the first of the year this
excursion may be arranged.

BATTLE ROYAL IN
YAKIMA
PEOPLE OF NORTH YAKIMA WILL
DECIDE TODAY EITHER FOR
OR AGAINST SALOONS IN THAT
CITY.

North Yakima, Dec 3O.-"Vote
saloons out and North Yakima will
be dead;" Vote saloons out and
North Yakima will prosper as never
before" These are the statements,
for and against local option, which
will be decided here today, and the
campaign wakes hot.
Agents of the Royal Arch, a liquor
organization, and agents of the Anti
Saloon league from Seattle and else
where are fighting a fierce battle and
a barrel of money is being used on
both sides.
The contest will probably be very
close and the chances favor a victory
for the "drys."
Wealthy citizens have assured the
liquor men that business enterprises
will be found for all houses vacated
mense saving in the maintenance of
courts, jails, police and hospitals will
more than Offset the business that
will be outlawed by local option.
Yesterday a Few element entered
the fight when more than 100 promi-
nent ranchers of the rich country sur
rounding North Yakima paralyzei the
saloon adherents with a full-page ad-
vertisement. to which their names
were signed, declaring against the
saloons, and pledging unlimited fin
ancial support.
I'VE are not citizens Of the city
they said, but we are heavy property
holders in North Yakima and We paw
the state and county taxes imposed
because of the saloons. We are de-
termined to destroy the evil, root and
branch. We have as much pride in
North Yakima as the citizens who do
the voting anj are determined to
help slay the rum demon. If the
cause is lost this time we shall i'm
mediately take steps to keep the cam
paign hot until another election can
be called. The saloon must CO.
The defeat of the "drys" at Walla
Walla merely served to increase the
vigor of the North Yakima "drys,' -
who claim victory is assured. They
have ample funds, probably more
than the liquor element, since the
rancher brigade has entered the fray
Every citizen is eagerly interested
and full vote will be polled.

The Wenatchee Business College

central Washington. All kinds of
typewriters are being used by the
college and every one is new one

NEW YEARS. RACE
MATINEE
HAVE ARRANGED
INTERESTING PROGRAM FOR
SPRINGWATER AVENUE CON-
MENCING AT 10 O'CLOCK.

The New Years races will be
avenue. Free conveyances will start
at $3.50 from the Department store
corner, and private rigs will be well
come additions Men are working
on the track today, and with the new
snow that is falling it is thought
that the track will be in fine shape
on Saturday. The start will be from
Murray street, going east, and the
finish will be at the Lewis and Clark
school. Wenatchee business men
have welcomed the racing idea and
without exception have enthusiastic
ally contributed prizes from their
stocks.
Four Miles Against Time.
The special feature of the day will
be the buzz-wagon race between DR.
McCoy's devil wagon and c. c.
Griggs' stern-wheel Pullman. The
machines will get away on flying
starts and may make some flying
stops. The bets are pretty even yet
although if there should be any oc-
casion to lineup over any rocky
places the swift-water craft will be
the favOrite. But the engines on the
devil wagon may be "hypo-dermick-
ed" so the race between the heavy
weights is bound to be a classy event.
Sam Campbell will start all the
races from the ground, except the
autos He will start them from the
top of a tree Bill Reed, Bill Smith
and Bill Stacy will be the judges
All entries are for half miles, and
ten Wenatchee horses are entered.

SAYS SPOKANE IS
THE PLACE
CASHMERE GROWER SAYS THAT
MISTAKE WILL BE MADE BY
WEST IF APPLE SHOW IS TAX.
EN- AWAY FROM SPOKANE.

Editor Daily World: I read your
article entitled, Apple Show
Where?"
l think that Spokane is the place
for the next OF third Nation Apple
show, not from a real estate point of
view, but from an educational point
Who makes the apple show, the real
estate men or the growers. Now, as
a grower l think that Spokane is the
best place to hold the next show. We
that attend the apple show derive a
great deal from it, It is the best
school for the grower that he has
ever attended The only trouble is
to get him to go and study. When I
go and see good fruit poorly put up
il makes me think that the grower
ought to go and see the apple show
and learn how to handle apples. We
had number of exhibits at the last
one that were very poorly handled
but not near as many as at the first
one. l could see a great improvement
in the second one and expect to no.
tice more in the next if | am able to
attend it. l will admit that from a
real estate point Chicago is the best
place, but l think We had better do
some more missionary work at home
before we start out to teach others.

HAD TAKEN NO BATH IN FJF
TEEN YEARS.

Spokane. Dec. 30.-Certifcates of
deposit amounting to $4.0S0 were
found in the clothing of L. Peterson,
filthy recluse, who was taken by
force from a room in a cheap lodg-
ing house by health officers today.
Peterson said this morning he had
not taken a bath in Is years nor
changed his underclothing for three
years.
He has lived for the past three
years in 10-cent lodging houses and
had eaten nothing for two weeks
when the landlord called the health
officers to remove him.
Peterson is so years old. He claims
he has lived most of the time on 20
or 80 cents a day for more than ten
years. He is sick because of filth
and is not expected to live.

WOULD ANNEX MIL
LER STREET
RESIDENTS OF THAT THOROUGH
FARE DEMANDING IMPROVE
VANTAGE OF CITY LAWS.

An effort will be made this spring
towards the improvement of Miller
street. Already estimates have been
made for grading, placing on of six
of shell rock at a cost of $4,000.
This is the longest straight stretch
of road in the valley-about three
miles in length. The property own
ers feel that it would be a good in
vestment to improve that piece of
road and an effort will be made to
raise the finances to improve it. 1t
is said that il would be easy to raise
half of the required amount from the
property owners, providing the coun-
ty commissioners would appropriate
the other half and the county board
will be interviewed on this matter in
the near future.
There is another plan being dis
cussed to take care of this matter
and this is by annexation to the city.
This plan is being freely discussed.
Should that be done it would be pos
sible to throw Miller street into an
Improvement district and bond for
the amount required to improve the
street. 1t is thought that this plan
might be carried out and a canvass
of the property owners will be made
on this line in the near future.
There is a determined effort all
over the county towards the improve
ment of the thoroughfares and the
Daily World has received information
from all parts of the county that the
proposition to bond for 100000 for
good roads is generally agreeable and
there seems to be no opposition to the
scheme. The residents up the river
are crying for the betterment of the
roads. Malaga people want improve
ments and all over the county there
is felt the demand for improvement,
and the only way that it can be done
satisfactory is to bond for 100000
to 100000 and have main trunk
lines laid out. Last year the county
expended some $4,000 on roads
Providing the county bonded for
100000 the interest on this would
not be over $4,000 per year, and with
the 100000 the county would be
laying the foundation for a system of
good roads which would greatly en-
hance property values, conduce to the
improvement of the land not now
under cultivation and eventually re-
suit in bringing a great many more
settlers into the county.
1t is felt that there is a necessity
in the state for the enactment of a
law which would allow districts to
go into Improvement districts and
bond for road and bridge building
under plans similar to that provided
for in cities, and there is probability
that such a law will be enacted bv
the next legislature

MISSION EIGHT SALOONS.

Olympia, Dec. 30.-Thurston coun-

ed overwhelmingly dry yesterday,
according to the meager returns re-
ceived so far. The only surprise was
in the unusually heavy vote cast. The
result Of this local option election will
be to put eight county saloons out

ment has been overwhelmingly dry
has long been known, which makes
the fact all the more surprising that
such heavy vote be polled. The
vote far exceeds that in the special

cold reigns from pole to pole and
everybody is frozen to death. If the

other people would object. Likewise
there is none why the rest of us
