a plurality of 229. but it was

majority of the Committee were
of the same opinion after hearing
the proof. After the decision
was rendered, Mr.. Williams sta
ted that he would abide by the
result.

The people in and around Diri-

past few days to engage in Cos

The frost last Saturday night
was little hard on the gardens.
1t also damaged the fruit consid-

There is one item I left out

will insert it. It is simply this:
Willie Bennett killed an eagle

the change is not to the detri-

IuO pIOpOOCO diuCllOlIlSuC "
the Constitution of the State,
known as the Bosworth- Wyatt
good road amendment, to broaden
the powers Of the various coun-
ties and to make possible State
and National aid in the building
of good roads, will be voted on
at the next November election.
The rigid Constitutional provis-
ions and restrictions limit the
powers of the counties to the mar
rowest line of progressive action
in the way of road building, and
the result of such limitations is
felt in every part of the State.
The conditions of our roads, the
tendency to allow them to remain
or even grow worse ought to stir
every progressive citizen to
such an extent as to lift consti-
tutional restrictions that hold
advance down. In giving the
proposed amendment, below, we
feel that it's breadth and great
possibilities will be readily seen
by all who read it, 1t is as fol-
lows;
"The credit of the Common
wealth may be given, pledged or
loaned to any county of the
Commonwealth for public road
purposes and any county may be
permitted to incur an indebted
ness in any amount fixed by the
county, not in excess of five per
centum of the value of the tax
able property therein, for public
road purposes in said county, pro-
vided said additional indebted
ness is submitted to the voters of
the county for their ratification
or rejection at special election
held for said purpose, in such
manner as may be provided by
law, and when any such indebt-
edness is incurred by any county,
said county may levy, in addition
to. the tax rate allowed under Sec
ton 157 of the Constitution of
Kentucky, an amount not exceed
ing twenty cents on the hundred
dollars of the assessed valuation
of said county for the purpose of
paying the interest on said in
debtedness and providing a sink
ing fund for the payment of said
indebtedness"
Section 178 of the Constitution
Of Kentucky forever prohibits
the state from lending it's aid to,
or in any way helping the coun-
ties in road building, or taking
any part whatever in behalf of
the cause of Good Roads.
Section 158 of our state con-
stitution limits the power of any
county to become indebted more
than two per cent, Of the assess
ed valuation, thus making it i'm
possible for the greater number
of our counties to raise sufficient
funds to do any road building at
all.
Section 157 of our state consti-
tuition provides that acounty can
not levy exceeding fifty cents on
each One Hundred Dollars of tax
able property therein for any pur-
pose whatever, thus making it
impossible for many of the coun-
ties to provide sufficient means to
create a sinking fund and pay
interest on the debt created to
build roads.

RECTORS OF NATIONAL RIVERS
AND HARBORS CONGRESS DE-
LIGHTED WITH WENATCHEE.

John A. Fox. president of the board
of directors of the National Rivers
and Harbors Congress, who spent
three or four days in the city last
week, says that he is going to make
Wenatchee his future home. Mr.
Fox left for Bellingham Saturday
evening, but says that he is coming
back within a year to take up per-
manent residence in this valley. He
spent some time driving through the
valley and investigating conditions
here and stated that he believes that
Wenatchee and the whole Columbia
river valley is going to make a won
derful growth. He freely stated that
while he has visited almost every
state in the union, knows the geo.
graphy, topography and business con-
ditions of almost every portion of the
United States, that this was the coun-
try for him.
In company with Editor Keys of
the Worlds Work and Auditor Dud-
ley of the Milwaukee & st. Paul rail-
way, he purchased a tract of land at
Lewiston, Idaho, but this was simply
a speculation and he expects to sell.
Within year, or just as soon as he
can carry out a present program of
the Open Rivers and Harbors Con-
gress, he expects to return to this
city and take up his permanent resi-
dence here.

in raising $400 for the publicity de-

MAY CHANGE CLUB
SITE
MEETING OF COMMERCIAL CLUB
CALLED FOR NEXT FRIDAY
EVENING TO HEAR REPORT OF
BUILDING COMMITTEE.

A special meeting of the Wenatchee
Commercial club is called for next
Friday evening, the particular pur-
pose Of the meeting being to either
ratify or reject the plans of the build
ing committee of the club. During
the past few weeks there has been
considerable opposition developed
towards locating the new club build
ing so far away from the business
section of the city, and President
King has issued a call for a meeting
where this question may be finally
settled. The call is as follows:
''The building committee of the
Commercial club appointed under the
preceding administration, having re-
ported at the regular meeting in
April and the report being ratified
and adopted, proceeded to purchase
lots on Chelan avenue, employ an
architect, draft plans and specifica-
tions and are now ready to begin the
construction of the clubs future
home. During the past two or three
weeks a considerable portion of the
membership has criticized the action
of the committee in selecting the
present location and believing that
the wishes of any material number of
objecting members on a matter of
such Importance should be respected
and their objections heard, special
meeting is here called for next Fri
day evening, June Z, at o'clock p.
m, for a reconsideration and final
action of the matter and the trans
action of such other important mat
ters as may arise

ERATE D|TCHES
PRESIDENT GUM HAS DELEGAT-
ED TO MESSRS. TAYLOR, Nc
THORITY IN GUM DITCH.

Both the Gum ditch and the We
natchee high line have been causing
the growers a great deal of trouble
this spring. Water has not been
coming fast enough for irrigation
purposes and it has been a continuous
complaint. The season itself has been
against the proper care of the ditch
and there have been more breaks
in both the Gum ditch and the High
line this spring than any season since
the bitches were built.
The Gum ditch during the rest of
the season will be operated by COM
mittee of the water users, consisting
of j. r. Taylor, Charles McMullen
and William Hayden. This action was
taken Saturday as result of con-
ference of the land owners under this
Itch with Mr.. Gum. Roy Turner
has been secured as ditch tender, but
all complaints and inquiries as to
the service should hereafter be di-
rected to the committee, instead of

PATRIOTIC SERVICE
YESTERDAY
REV. BEIGHTOL GAVE ELOQUENT
ADDRESS IN NJ. e. CHURCH AT
WHICH OLD SOLDIERS WE'RE
PRESENT IN NUMBERS.

Services of a patriotic character
were conducted at the Methodist
Episcopal church yesterday morning:
The church was decorated with the
national colors. Special music ap-
propriate to the occasion was rem
dered by the large chorus choir un-
der the direction of Prof. G. o. Brow
nell. Seats were reserved in the body
of the house for the Grand Army OF
the Republic, the Woman's Relief
Corps, the Spanish War Veterans and
the Sons of Veterans. The sermon
was preached by the pastor, the Rev.
H. L. Beightol, who choose for his
text, "The Lord said unto Moses,
write this for memorial in a book,
and rehearse it,"
He said in part:
when Amalek came to fight with
Israel the battle waxed warm. Joshua
was in command of Israels army.
Moses was talking with God. Only
when bis hands were lifted up could
Israel prevail, so Aaron and Hur took
their positions, one on either side OF
Moses, and stayed up his hands, and
Joshua defeated Amalek and his peo-
pie with the edge of the sword. After
the battle the Lold told Moses to
write the facts for a memorial in a
book, and that is our text for today.
"A history of the warfare of the
world is large part of the history
of the human race. All nations have
had their wars. Nations have been
created and extinguished by battle.

'SHATTUCk OWNS

CITIZENS LAUGHING AT WAY WE

SEATTLE DAILY TIMES RIDICU-
LOUS.

The following story, printed in the
Seattle Times of Sunday, is so ridicu-
lous that comment Is unnecessary.
The man Shattuck has no business
interests in the city, but for his own
personal reasons would hold up the
bridge sale and in some unaccount-
able way got into the Times of Sun
day. Had it not been the need of
the Times to secure some sort of
club to use against Governor Hay it
is safe to say that Shattuck could not
have aired his grievance in the big
daily. His story is as follows;
Many apparently valid reasons
why the state of Washington should
not purchase of the Wenatchee Bridge
company the bridge over the Column
bia river at Wenatchee are put forth
by David Shattuck, a contractor from
the Chelan county metropolis. Mr..
Shattuck was employed as a concrete
inspector during the building of the
bridge. He asserts that the structure
is not well suited for foot passenger
or teaming bridge, that it is not 10
Gated at a convenient place for the
travel to Wenatchee from Douglas
county and the country east of the
Wenatchee valley and that the price
asked for the bridge is excessive,
The bridge at Wenatchee which
the state is figuring on purchasing
was never constructed for the bene-
fit of the public said Mr.. ShattucK.
On the contrary, it was built to serve
the private purposes of the Wenat-
chez Canal company in getting water
across the river to the Douglas cOun-
ty side to water the land it owns and
is selling there.
There is a per cent grade on
the bridge, which makes it unsuitable
for teaming, especially during the
winter when there is snow and ice on
the planking. No provision was made
for foot passengers. Moreover, in
the price set by the bridge company
for the sale of it's bridge there Is in
cluded the sum of approximately $20.-

AFTERNOON.

Today Is Memorial Day and the

Mendelssohn Rev. F. Stuart Hyatt
Address Patriotism, the Old and
the New" Rev. W. A. Stevenson
Music. High School Quartet
Benediction. Rev H. L. Beightol
DR.. Stevenson gave a very thought
full address on "The Old and New
Patriotism" and said in brief as fol-
lows:
Patriotism is of as great an
tiquity as the human race At first
it was a small but intense term; for
the word patriotism comes from the
Greek word pater, which means
father, the root of which is found in
patriarch, which literally means rule
Of father, and patricide, which means
the killing of father.
In the dawn of history patriotism
meant, first love for and devotion to
and desire to serve father; then it
was expanded so as to mean love for
the family. And when the family, by
growth, developed into the clan, love
for the clan was patriotism, and
when the clan expanded into the ma
tion the love for ones own nation
was called patriotism in its present
sense, which now has come to mean
the unselfish passion which inspires
one to serve ones country. Will
you permit me in passing to insert
just here the International Diction-
ary's definition of patriotism: Pa
triotism is the passion which inspires
you to serve your country
Now there are many kinds of ser
