has already announced that it is to
build a line from Adrian to Connell,
to connect with the Central Washing
ton line, which has already built to
Adrian. This gives this little town
the advantage of two through rail-
ways and it has the prospects Of be-
coming quite a point
Said Mr.. Prowell this morning:
There is no question but what Ad
rian is going to become quite an i'm
portant point 1t has the advantage
Of the two railroads, is surrounded
by good country and VIII eventually
become a great fruit center, on ac-
count of it's irrigation possibilities.
It is the nearest embarking point for
Soap Lake, which eventually Will be-
come a great health resort, and on
account of its accessibility there is no
question but what Adrian will be the
future county seat of Grant county
Mr.. Prowell states that the new
townsite will be placed on the mar
ket within very short time, and on
account of the new railroad building
it is expected that a great deal of
building will be done this year. A
number of business enterprises have
signified their intention of getting

two years being employed by FMes-
serly, drifted into the World Office

in Africa a number of years. Mr..
Wright has been all over the world,
but is content now with his residence
in the Wenatchee valley. Following
the Boer war he sailed for the United

be the date for considering protests
against this plan.
If there are no protests an ordi-
nance providing for this work will
be introduced On May 1 1 and possibly
passed on May 1S. The ordinance
will then be published on May 20
and be effective May 25. Then the
council will call for bids for the i'm
provement of the avenue from the
bridge to Fifth street north and the
notice for bids will have to be pub
lished four weeks and it will be June
II before the contract can be award
ed.
There is no reason why the i'm
provement of this avenue can not be
commenced by July 1, providing the
city is authorized to issue the neces-
sary bonds to carry on this work.
A full statement of the progress
of the work on Wenatchee avenue is
given at this time, so that there may
be no misunderstanding as to it's con-
dition. There is a Judgment against
the city of $4,000 and interest for
damages incurred by changing the
grade and this will have to be met
before any work can be started.
The members of the council are
unanimous in trying to push this
work just as rapidly as possible and
if the bond election carries next Sat-
urday there can be no good reason
why the work on Wenatchee avenue
can not be started by July /. The
polls will be open at this election
from 9 a. m. to Z p. m.

MUST LOWER DUTY
ON IMPORTS
(By Associated Press. }

Washington, May 6.-Predicting
that the failure to pass the tariff bin
providing for lower duties on imports
would provoke political contest for
another revision of the tariff, Senator
Cummins, of Iowa, delivered a not
able speech in the senate today.
The bill now before us can not be
accepted by those who favored reVi-
sion of the tariff as either a fulfill
ment of party pledge or as settlement
of the controversy. If this bill, OF
substantially like it be-
comes a law, predict that a cam
paign for lower duties will begin the
moment this extraordinary session of
congress adjourns and will continue
with increasing zeal until a judgment
entered in the court of public con-
science is also entered in the journal
Of congress"
