$6.401.70: Fiske & Gillette, S.

the estimate considerably ana the
council are to readvertise for the

also referred to the street committee
with power to act, the contract go
ing to the Eagle Transfer. the bids
being Eagle Transfer, $1,802.S0; L.
D. Petit. $2.506.20.
A petition was passed for the i'm
provement of Chelan avenue from

nrovement contemplates the i'm
,,rovement of Chelan avenue on the
west side, from where the recent i'm
erOvement which is now being fin
ished ends and extends north to the
Whitman school house. The reso-
luton providing for this work was
passed ana an ordinance will be
drawn at once.
Councilman Russi submitted a
resolution providing for sewer on
Douglas street in block 3S, but the
matter was held over for one week
to allow consultation with the city
engineer as TO general sewer plans
for the hill district.
4 resolution was passed calling on
the street committee TO get prices
and information regarding rock
crushers. It seemed to be the senti-
ment of the council that where rock
is so plentiful as it is in this valley
that the roads ought to be surfaced
with crushed rock and the committee
was instructed TO get as much infor-
nation regarding these machines as
possible and submit it at the next
meeting of the council.
A petition was presented from the
Methodist church asking that hitch
ing racks be allowed on Orondo ave-
nue. in front of the church. but the
request was denied for the reason
that the city has in view the regrade
of Orondo avenue.

HAVE AUTHORITY FOR APPRO-

possession OF these springs-either a
physical clash or suit in the SUI

One of the cases is that of the
Wenatchee Valley & Northern rail-
way VS. A. F. Huffmaster, wherein
the jury rendered verdict for ST.

WENATCHEE AVENUE PROP
ERTY OF j. III, MILLER-ED-
WARDS MADE THE SALE.

The papers are being signed up
today for the transfer OF the J. H.
Miller property on North Wenatchee
avenue to DR.. D. W. King. the con-
sideration being $500. The sale
was made through the agency OF Ira
d. Edwards. The property consists
of los feet front on Wenatchee ave-
nue. and 100 feet on Second street.
The lot is all set to fruit and also
contains a frame dwelling Mr.. King
bought the property merely as q
speculation and has no immediate
plans for its improvement. The prop
erty. however, is too valuable to long
remain unimproved and 1t is thought
that in the course OF a year DR.. King
will have a business block on the
lot. Mr.. Miller has held this prop
erty for number OF years. it being
one of his first investments when he
came into the city. but for the past
year he has made his residence on
Mission street.

Contractor McKiver has signed the
contract for the Wenatchee avenue
regrade His signature was affixed
yesterday afternoon but the contract
is faulty. inasmuch as the city attor-
ney insists that as the bid was made
by Allyn & Mckiver both members
of the firm must attach their names
to the contract. Mr.. Mckfver, when
here yesterday stated that his part
ner would be right over and that all
the red tape would be complied with
at once, and within the course OF a
week or ten days active operations
would commence on the Wenatchee
avenue regrade work. At an ad-
journed meeting of the city council
last week, on the request of Con-
tractor McKiver, an ordinance was
given first reading providing for the
payment for the cross streets on We
natchee avenue out of the general
fund. The contractor claimed that
the ordinance providing for the pay
ment for this work was defective and
asked that as protection to him this
ordinance be passed. At the meeting
last night the ordinance was given
second and third reading but will not
be signed by the mayor or clerk until

WENATCHEE NEEDS
$4,000
OF CITY BONDS
SEEMS TO BE VERY SLOW IN
HARD CASH.

The city of Wenatchee needs $40,-
900. Several months ago the city
voted bonds to this amount When
the bonds were advertised for sale
the Harris Trust e Savings Bank of
Chicago was the best bidder and the
bonds were awarded this company,
but SO far there has been no cash
forthcoming. The city administra-
ton takes it as 4 good omen that it
has heard nothing from the company.
Had there been anything wrong with
the bonds it is likely that the city
would have been notified weeks ago.
but for the past ten days the officials
have been eagerly expecting the $40
600 in cash. The city would be in
peculiar predicament should the
money not come within the next few
days, as the contract has been award
ed on Wenatchee avenue, but work
can not be started as it is necessary
to pay into court the $4,000 award
ed as damages on the, v. enatchee ave-
nue. regrade. This money can not
be paid into the court until the funds
are received from the sale of the
bonds. Hence the non-arrival of the
bond money may hold up the Wenat-
chez avenue regrade. but the city Of
ficials are hoping that the next mail
may bring in this money

SCORED ALMOST PERFECT ON
STAYMEN WINESAPS - SAM
SUMNER TELLS WHY BOOTH is
ATTRACTING MOST ATTENTION


This message was received last
night, just after the Daily World had
gone to press. 1t was expected that
Chelan county would win first on the
Staymen Winesap as well as any
other varieties. People of Chelan
county do not fully realize the char
acter of an exhibit that is being main
tanned by the A.-Y.-P. E. commission.
City Clerk Sumner returned from Sc
attic last evening and says of the
exhibit as follows:
while I was over this time
heard several remarks made by peo-
pie who had made casual observa-
tions that the apple exhibits at the
fair were all about the same, but the
fact that SO many people stopped at
the Chelan county exhibit caused me
to think that there must be some
thing about it that attracted more at
tention than the other exhibits. /
of all the exhibits in the agricultu-
raj building. and this closer inspec-
tion showed me where the fault lay
In nearly every exhibit the bulk of
the apples in the exhibition were de-
fective in some way. The Prosser eX-
hibit was exceedingly faulty and the
apples were undersiZed and not first
class. The Yakima exhibit in the
builiing is a very poor one. Walla
WSlla has a pretty exhibit but most
al of the fruit is in glass jars. The
nearest competitor so far as attract
ivepess and good apples are con-
cefned is the Kelowna exhibit from
British Columbia. i has certainly
some nice fruit on exhibit.

tb exposition are working hard to

whereby apples could be placed in the
exhibit for the purpose of handing
them out to the visitors. While I
was around the booth several people
came up ana asked if they could not
have just one of the apples to take
back home. 1t would not be very
expensive and would be the means
of attracting people who do not see
the fair 1t seems to me that every
apple raiser in the valley should take
enough interest along with the in
terests shown by the business men in
their contributions to contribute two
or three boxes of their best apples
for this cause. A bulk of the east
ern people will be coming in to visit
the fair by the first of September
and October and arrangements should
be made whereby these apples could
be handed out during that time

Although Judge Conrey three years

by his son. A short time afterwards
he permitted the child to visit his
mother who refused to restore him.
Hauter instituted habeas corpus pro-

prayers his mother taught him ana ne
needs q mothers care,' said MIS-
Chadd when on the witness stand yes

me only a short time, he prefers my
home to that of his father"

stated he would ask to have the writ of
habeas corpus vacated and he would

SEEKS TO GET NEW TRIAL
FOR CONVICTED PRISONER
Attorney Bases Claim on New Law
Which Requires Sentence Passed
Within Specified Time

Unsuccessful efforts were made in
Judge Davis court yesterday by At
torney Paul Schenck to secure a new
trial for Gertrude briggs, sentenced to
five years at San Quentin, on convic-
ton for forging the name of John j.
Charnock to a lease giving her a
large part of his estate. Mr.. Schenck
gave notice Of appeal from the rulings
to the district court Of appeals.
The motions for a new trial were
based on the provisions Of new law,
passed by the last legislature, making
it obligatory on the court to sentence a
convicted person not later than five
days after the jury returns Its verdict
or not later than ten days for the pur-
pose of hearing motions. In Mrs.
briggs case more than twenty days
passed before sentence was pro-
nounced.
This Is said to be the first time the
new law has been taken advantage of
in the state.
