LOOKING FOR EXTENSIVE
TRACT OF LAND TO DEVELOP
WITH CANALS.

G.. G. Sinclair, of the firm of Hall
ing & Sinclair, located at % Wenat-
chez avenue, is in receipt of a letter
from Pittsburg banker that should
prove of interest to the citizens of
Wenatchee, and especially those need
ing capital to finance and develop ir-
rigation propositions The letter re-
ferred to is, in part, as follows:
"Our company has just closed up,
with notable success, 800, ,000-acre
irrigation project at Twin Falls, Ida,
and would like to finance a similar
project in Washington. l have been
investigating the situation along the
Columbia river and elsewhere. and
have been gratified to find that there
is an abundance of excellent land
available.
You have a wonderful country out
there. The Wenatchee valley is the
most talked of section in the east, its
continued growth is assured. I have
long been an enthusiast over the op-
portunities of the northwest, and am
desirous of making further invest
ments there
Messrs. Halling & Sinclair will give
special attention to the financing and
development of projects of merit,
either large or small, having Glen
tele in the prominent cities of the east
and west representing unlimited
means for profitable investment.
They have associated with them a
civil engineer of enviable reputation
in the Inland Empire, man who has
made speciality of irrigation engin-
eering and who has built several OF
the largest canals in the state of
Washington.
Mr.. Sinclair says he has had great
many inquiries from capitalists in
Denver, Salt Lake City and New
York, whom he has assisted in pro-
noting different enterprises in the
past, concerning the Columbia val
ley district and Wenatchee, and that
they are looking for gilt edge PROPOSE

SIMMONS IN THE
JUSTICE COURT
DEFENDANT IN ACTION BROUGHT
BY CITY FOR COLLECTION OF
VENUE GRANTED.

w. T. Simmons, ex-ieputy sheriff
of the county, was a defendant this
morning In Justice Palmer's court in
the case of the City of Wenatchee vs.
w. T. Simmons for the collection of
81 poll tax. Attorney Crollard ap-
peared for the city and Attorneys
Martin & Barrow appeared for Mr.
Simmons.
The defendants presented an afi-
Havit to show that it was their be-
lief that they could not secure JUS
tice before either Judges Palmer or
Sumner. Both at present were or
had been employees Of the city and
asked that the case be transferred
to some outside justice. City Attor-
ney Crollard sought to have the ease
transferred Immediately to the su-
perior court and tried out on it's own
merits, but the defendants attorneys
would not agree to that measure.
Judge Palmer ruled that he would
grant change OF venue, but the
change would have to be to the near
est justice. which happened to be
Justice Sumner.
Judge Martin stated that he would
file the same afidavits before Judge
Sumner and ask for change OF venue
from his court, and In case both Jus
tices grant the change Of venue and
adhere strictly to the wording of the
statute 1t will be a continual trans
fer of the case from one court to the
other The attorneys for the de-
fendant stated that they were going
to attack the ordinance as drawn for
compelling the payment of a 81 an
nual poll tax and Also attack the con-
stitutionality of the state law giving
cities authority to impose tax. The
case In the court this morning re-
suited from refusal of Mr.. Simmons
to pay his So The city attorney is
making a test case of this one and
from every appearance the case Is go
ing to go into the supreme court.
The case was set for June IA be-
fore Judge Sumner.

VERY HIGH WATER
ANTICIPATED
ARE FEARING THAT
THE COLUMBIA WILL REACH
THE HIGH WATER MARK OF
1894-NOW 81 FEET.

The Columbia is still rising at
the rate of about 20 inches per day,
and is now 81 feet and inches
above the low water mark. The high
mark of last year was IS feet, but
the high water came earlier last year
than this. The rivermen are antici-
pating very high water this year, on
account of the continuation of the
cold weather in the mountains and
it is believed that should it turn
warm and with light rains in the
mountains that the river might reach
the mark of 1894, when it was Ga
feet above low water mark. In that
year the river was over the fat just
across the track from the depot and
it also flooded the business streets
of Portland While the river is still
some .13 or IA feet lower than the
high mark OF last year yet 1t is COM
ing up faster than it did during the
last season.

APPLES SHORT N

the Chamber of Commerce of Wat

the reports as indicated in the fol-
lowing letter are to the effect that
the crop will be fully 1000 cars short.
They write as follows:
I'VE are pleased to make the fol-
lowing report on the condition of the

"Belleflower apples will be about

Representative Holm Had Wire Last
Night That a Twenty Days Session
Would be Held for the Purpose of
Making Thorough Investigation Of
the State Administration.

extra session was reached after a
conference this morning at his rooms
with four of the five members of the
committee. Representative Hubbell
was absent. Attorney General Bell
attended the conference, and is act
ing as the legal adviser of the gov
ernor and the committee He went
to Olympia this afternoon to COM
plete his review of certain legal points
raised in the conference.
No Limit to the Session.
A special session of the legislature
to impeach insurance Commissioner
Schively, should nothing else of i'm
|portance come before it, will last from
10 days to two weeks, possibly much
longer, and will cost the state from
$4,000 to $4,000. Regular sessions
cost approximately $4,000 a week,
but the cost of the first week would
be much greater on account of the
mileage. Should the legislature
Iplunge into general legislation it's ses-
'sion might be a great deal longer.
There Is no constitutional limit as
there is to a regular session. Some
mended by Governor Hay, but he has
not decided whether to mention them
in the call or to cover his recOmmen-
dations in his message. One matter
tl.~he recommended is the amendment
of the law authorizing the state to en-
gage in the rock-crushing business.
Another is the amendment of the uni
form accountancy law, which has been
found confusing, question even aris-
ing as to whether it carries an ap-
preparation.
Second Extra Session.
This will be the second extra ses-
sion in the history of the state. The
first one occurred in 1901 and lasted
only a few days. That legislature
passed law providing that all execu-
tions should be held at the state peni-
tentiary. After it adjourned it was
found that it would result in freeing
several murderers under sentence,
and Governor Rogers called special
session to repeal the law before it be-
came effective. That session took up
no other business.

ADVERTISE WENAT-
CHEZ At FAIR
SUGGESTIONS FOR
DISPLAY AND NEW SLOGAN
ARE WANTED FOR CLUB MEET
ING TOMORROW NIGHT.

A number of Wenatchee people
who have returned from the big eX-
position at Seattle report that while
Chelan county itself has a very ere
ditable display yet Wenatchee is lack
ing in the exhibit.
A number of business men of this
city have been discussing the matter
of attracting attention to Wenatchee
at the Seattle fair. Various means
have been suggested but it is thought
that this matter should be brought
up at the general meeting Of the
Commercial club to be held tomor-
row night and some special advertis-
ing stunts decided upon.
Some have suggested that it might
be a good idea to have big electrical
sign representing a big red apple for
evening display and possibly an ap-
pie balloon in the day time. Those
discussing the matter today suggest
ed that it would be good idea for
those interested in having Wenat-
chez we'll represented at the fair to
think this matter over and offer their
suggestions along this line at the
meeting tomorrow night. 1t is also
suggested that all the members at
tending the Commercial club meet
ing tomorrow evening should come
with a suggestion for a new slogan.
1t is thought that the phrase "The
Home of the Big Red Apple" has been
filched and overworked to such an ex-
tent that its usefulness has passed.
1t is also cited that other cities, such
as Walla Walla and Tacoma, have
adopted new slogans expressly for the
exposition and that it will be we'll for
Wenatchee to do the same.

A special session of the Washing
ton state legislature has been called
to meet June 23. This information
was conveyed to Representative R. F.
Holm in telegram received at mid
night last night from Olympia. This
has not been altogether unexpected,
yet a great many of the members of
the legislature poohooed the idea Of
special session.
Governor Hay has repeatedly stat
ed that in case State Insurance Com
missioner Schively did not resign
from his office that he would call a
special session for the purpose of i'm
peaching this officer and also make a
thorough investigation of the other
state officers.
The special session will meet We'd
nesday, June 23, and is called for a
twenty day session.

morrow a call for special session
of the legislature to consider the re-
port of the legislative Investigating

evening at the Hotel Washington.
'The call will set June %, at 2 p.

be arranged tomorrow. Attorney
