NE'IHON /
BACKED BY SPOKANE
MEN WILL HARNESS METHOW
RIVER ELECTRICITY TO BE
GENERATED FOR TOWNS.

The Methow river in Okanogan
county is to be harnessed, and
enough power developed to light the
small towns in that county and fur
nish power for the irrigation of thou
sands of acres of land
The Columbia Water Power Co. of
which Sam Berry, J. B. Valentine
and Sidney Berry, all of Spokane, are
the principal incorporators, have ex-
tensive plans prepared, which inclui lie
the building of an immense dam, 80
feet in height, on the Methow at a
point eight miles from it's mouth
This will call for an expenditure of
at least $25,000. From this point a
fiume will be run about mile down
the river, where a power plant to
cost at least $4,000 will be built.
From this plant a high power ten
sion line will be used to carry light
to Bridgeport, Brewster, Pateros,
Methow and the other towns in that
vicinity, in addition to furnishing
the necessary power for the irriga-
tion of Brewster Flats and the nu-
merous tracts which have only need
ed water to make them very valu-
able
At Bridgeport, where the company
owns $500 acres of land, the electric
power will be utilized instead of
steam as at present, for pumping wa
ter for irrigation purposes. The
Bridgeport Orchards company has al
ready planted $4,000 fruit trees and
expects to add $4,000 additional this
year.

LIKE BUM
GRATITUDE
GEORGE BROWN OF CHELAN
FALLS INITIATES MOVE FOR
ROAD MONEY BUT THE DOUGH
GOES ELSEWHERE.

Yes, That's Gratitude, Bum Graft
tude," is the little song that is sug-
gested as being highly appropriate
for the miller of Chelan Falls. Geo.
Brown, the miller, is quite public
spirited man and represented Chelan
Falls at the meeting of the CONNER
cial bodies of North Central Wash
ington. At the meeting he called at =
tention to the needs of his section
TO better roads and initiated a move
which resulted in the appropriation
by the county commissioners of ST.
600 for road purposes between Che
Ian and the Columbia river The
county board appropriating the
money left it to the commissioner
of Chelan, c. J. Trow, to use it
where he thought it would do the
most good. The commissioner fig
ured out that it would do the most
good on a new road from the city of
Chelan to a point near Chelan Falls,
on the Columbia river, to Crooked
Mouthed" Bob's place This cut out
Chelan Falls entirely and the peo-
pie of Chelan Falls have raised a
storm of protest but the money has
been spent and the road is now COM
pleted to Crooked Mouthed" Bob's
place.
Comes now Crooked Mouthed"
Bob and says, Halo road" and says
that there won't be any till the "Bos-
ton man" and the "hiyu chiefs and
the county capital come through with
$4,000.
Those favoring the new road main
tain that it is only two miles long
as against five miles over the Chelan
Falls road.
AS a matter of interest donations
were asked for the road from the
people of Chelan Falls from Chelan.
and $500 was the amount donated
by Chelan Falls residents. After the
new road had been well under way
the Chelan Falls donors were asked
to dig up, but there has been moth
ing doing"
The c. & o. company has not yet
established an Office in the new place,
which is above the old landing at
Chelan Falls, and it is considered
very doubtful If they will do so under
the circumstances.
The above is a story related by
Captain e. E. Shotwell OF Lakeside
today.

COMING
TEAM WHICH is TO
PUT ON SPECIAL WORK DUR
ING PYTHIAN WEEK AT A..Y.-
p. f.. WILL BE HERE JULY 4.

The lola drill team of the K. P
lodge will be in Wenatchee July a.

July 5, for which they are paid a
$50 people in this party .and they
have their own special train. They

will arrive in Wenatchee the follow
ing morning. This team has special
invitations extended to them by

tanned by the Yakima people, but the

bers of the local K. P. lodge who
desire to go to Seattle and be present

consisting of G. 0. Brownell, U. G..
Pogue and Sam Mills, have in charge
the matter of arranging for the X. P.
excursion to Seattle from this place.
There is the promise of round trip
rate of $6.65 good for 16 days. There
are also prospects of IS Fourth OF
July rates to Seattle, good for four
days, and the committee believes it
will be possible to fill three or four
cars here with Pythians and their
friends. The committee is desirous
that those having in mind going to
the fair about this time should COM
Imunicate with the committee so that
the local lodge may have just as good
a showing in Seattle during the Pyth-
ian week as possible.

ing 10 darkest Africa to hunt wild beasts
from balloons. He will start with large
party about September | on the first ex-
peditiou Of the kind ever made. and ex-
poets to be gone year or more.
The first objective point probably will
be Mombasa, Boyce saws, although cond-
tions in Africa at the time of his arrival
there may change his plans to include
Abyssinia some other region.
While seeking game trophies. the kill
ing of animals will be secondary to pic
ture making from balloons by means OF
telephoto cameras. Boyca is convinced
tina, pictures of a kind never before pro-
cured in Africa because of the density OF
the jungle and typographical features of
the hunting country will be brought back
by the expedition.
II have not anything else 10 do. and
fancy going on unique expedition
10 Africa" said Mr.. Boyce. II want pic
lures that are hard to get and | expect
10 get them from a captive balloon. There
isn't any commercial object involved.
My idea is to start as soon | can
get ready. which. / think. Will be- about
September |. / expect To land at Nom
