+. III. BROWNELL AT CHELAN
GAVE REASONS WHY GREAT
BUILDING UP THE RIVER.

F. H. Brownell, connected with the
legal department of the Great North
ern, was in Chelan the first of the
week in connection with the sale of
the Chelan power plant of the city
lof Chelan. Mr.. Brownell made pub
lie the fact that the power plant and
the power of Chelan Falls was &C
quired by the Great Northern with
the expectation of utilizing this in
the railroad up the river.
The following is taken from the
Chelan Leader of this week ana gives
Mr.. BIownell's idea for the postpone
ment of the building of the Great
Northern up Their liver:
Mr.. Brownell stated frankly that
the Chelan Electric company is the
Great Northern Railway company,
and that the development of the Che
Ian river water power is dependent
upon the railway company's future
plans for the Columbia valley. This
is the first time an authoritative
statement to that has been given out,
lalthough the fact has been generally
believed ever since the first move was
made by Mr.. Brownell and other
Everett parties to secure control of
the whole Chelan power three years
ago. He also told the committee
that, while the Great Northern will
build up the Columbia river in the
future without any doubt whatever,
it will be two or three years at the
shortest before actual construction
on this line can be taken up. Plans
had been definitely settled to begin
work this spring, but new develop
ments compelled the company to look
to its interests elsewhere first. The
new Milwaukee transcontinentaI line
on the south is reaching out with it's
branch line feeders into Hill territory
in Montana, Idaho and eastern Wash
| ington, and the Canadian Pacific on
the north is after everything attrac-
tive which has been claimed hitherto
by the Great Northern. These two
rivals are keeping the Hill system
busy to the limit of it's resources OF
money and material to protect its
previously unmolested territory and
it is endeavoring to save first the ter
ritory which is first invaded He be-
lieves that the Milwaukee will un-
doubtedly build up the east side OF
the Columbia from its main line to
the Okanogan valley within a short
time and that to protect it's inter.
ests here and in the upper country
the Great Northern will get busy on
its Wenatchee-Orov line just as
soon as it can complete other projects
and get into shape to take up work
on this branch"

Mike Whelan's
Last Catch a
Good Big One
He Lands Dangerous Confidence Men
with $4,000 Worth of
Stolen Contracts.

Word came up from Kansas City last
night hat the police down there had In
custody Mrs. Ollie Woodward, wife of a
well known confidence operator, and had
secured from her 1900 worth Of bridge
contracts belonging to the Standard Bridge
company Of Omaha.
on the last day Of July Paul Reiff Of
the bridge company was on a Northwestern
train in Iowa when his suit case was
stolen. 1t contained the contracts Just re-
covered, together with clothing and toilet
articles. Reiff reported the theft at once,
and on Tuesday Special Agent Seward of
the Northwestern and Sergeant Whelan Of
the Omaha police arrested ]. M. Kelso,
alias the Custer Kid" and a man who
gave his name as George Carver, but who
has since proved to be Ollie Woodward.
These two, with the woman, were at the
Dodge hotel. The officers found out they
had sent a package by express to Kansas
City, and that the woman had started for
that city. Word was sent at once to Kan
sas City and the arrest yesterday fol-
lowed.
Among the effects Of the men when
caught was a black leather suitcase, con-
tanning a miscellaneous lot Of plumber, such
as doilies, Tides and other fancy articles,
stolen from some department store, and
articles belonging to Reiff. The valuable
papers are in the hands OF the Kansas City
police and all the crooks connected with
the case are in custody.
As Mike Whelan was retired from ac-
tive service, dating from Monday, this cap
ture is probably the last Of a long list that
stands to his credit with the Omaha police
department.

Taft so designate it. This should be so
because In essential matters the conference
adopted most of the house schedules. The
bill now has considerable more Of a Payne
tendency than Aldrich. Payne is a protec-
ZIONIST, and while the bill is not perfect, it
is in that direction.
South Dakota is very prosperous at
present and while many Of the products
OF our state are scaled down. I do not
think the cuts are sufficient to hurt.
South Dakota produces two-thirds of the
mica OF the country and this was cut but
slightly. I opposed the putting OF hides
on the free list, but think the cattle men
will be able to take care of themselves.
Indications are for an era OF good times.
A splendid healthy condition is shown be-
cause for two years it has been known
that there would be a downward revision
of the tariff and still things are picking
up. With this question settled things
should take a rebound. II they do II will
be a great feather In the cap OF the re-
publican party, for heretofore no party has
twice revised the tariff and been able to
maintain itself in power"

Suit to Compel
Transfer of Lot
Deal Growing Out of Transaction on
Sixteenth Street Gets Into
Court.

J. f. Baum, acting for himself and others,
has filed a suit in the district court against
Mrs. Anna NJ. Kennedy TO try to force her
to sell a lot on the southeast corner OF
Sixteenth and Jackson streets for SIS, 900.
a week before it was announced that thj
Woodmen of the World would locate thelI
new building on the southwest corner Of
Sixteenth and Jackson, Mr.. Baum and
others secured an option from Mrs. Ken
nedy to sell her lot, 66x1S2 feet, for S75, 900
the first payment to be $4,000. The optioiI
was to expire last Saturday.
At I45 Saturday night in the office OF
]. A. c.. Kennedy, a son of Mrs. Kennedy,
Mr., Baum offered to take the property al
the stated price and offered his check for
$4,000 to bind the bargain as he claimed
the contract required. Mr.. Kennedy re-
fused to accept the check on the ground
that 1t was not money, and that the option
contract required a first payment of $40, O0C
in money.
An effort was made Monday to have Mrs.
Kennedy turn over the property, but she
maintained that the requirements Of the
option had not been lived up TO and thai
1t had expired.
The suit filed Thursday was for specific
performance to compel Mrs. Kennedy TO
turn over the property, on the grounds that
the terms of the option had been complied
with.
Both parties assert that the value of the
property has greatly increased since It was
announced that the Woodmen OF the World
would locate their new building on the
corner across the street.

President Taft thinks the bill as con-
