E[ECTR|FY {. \. BETWEEN We
NATCHEE AND GOLD BAR
1t Is Known Positively That It Is the
Purpose of the Railway Company to
Make This Improvement Within the
Coming Year---Plant at Tumwater
Canyon Pleases G.. N. Officials

Under the supervision Of Contract
or Carlson large force of men are
engaged in clearing the rock from a
twO-acre area near the old site of
the MARI Lumber company. This
work is being done in preparation
for a large roundhOuse to be con-
structed for the Great Northern rail-
way. This roundhouse, it is said,
will be either seven or eight stalls
In connection with the building OF
the new depot, roundhOuse and other
improvements, that have been out
lined from time to time by the Daily
World, for the Great Northern it
comes from very reliable source
that it is the purpose of the Great
Northern railway to electrify the
road between Leavenworth and Gold
Bar on the western slope, the OBJECT
being to operate all trains by cleo
tricity between these points. Some
weeks ago the announcement was
made that it was the purpose of the
railway company to extend the troll
ley wires from the tunnel to Leaven-
worth and Skykomish, but it is
known positively that it is the inten-,
tion of the company to make a stir
further extension and include the dis
trict between Wenatchee and Gold
Bar The railway officials are very
highly pleased with the electric ser
vice through the tunnel and the Off
cials who Inspected the plant and SER
vice some two Or three weeks ago
expressed themselves at that time
that ii was only a question of time
when the service would be greatly
extended. Immediately after their
visit an order was placed with the
General Electric company for a third
generator. One of the great items
of saving by the use of electricity on
the summit is coal, and it is stated
that the saving to the company in this
item alone would in ten years pay for
the construction of the power plant.
1t is also said that it is the pur-
pose of the Great Northern to oper-
ate the eLeavenworth-Lake Wenatchee
railway also by electricity. These
changes it is said will be made dur
ing the coming six months. Natural
ly this change would tend to give
greater Importance to Wenatchee as
terminal city and 1t is likely that
the Great Northern has this in con-
temptation in the building of such a
large roundhouse in this city.

Observation-Disclosures, 5,245.

This is the result of the recent
census taken in this city by the rep
resentatives of the r. l.. Polk Di-
rectory company of Seattle. The
census was authorized by the Elk
club of this city and the expenses in
cident to the taking of the census
were guaranteed by the local Elks.
J. B. Gordon and F. A. Egar have
been here for the past two weeks and
they finished their labors Wednes-
day morning and left in the afternoon
for Seattle They found 5245 actual
residents of the city The names are
in possession of the officers Of the
Elk club, free to the inspection of any
one who might doubt that the city
has the number of residents claimed.
The special object of the census
at this time was that the local Elks
might receive charter. The matter
of the population has been the only
bar to this and now that 1t has been
removed by the testimony of the Polk
Directory company there can be no
reason for refusing to grant char
ter
The result of the census Is consid-
erable of a satisfaction to the resi-
dents Of the city 1t has been thought
for the past six months that there
must be fully 5000 people in the
city but until the Elks demonstrated
it there was no certainty as to the
population.
While there is great deal Of sat
isfaction over the increase of the
population during the past year yet
there is not a single business man in

Thaw will remain in Jail at least
until Friday, when his attorney will
be given an opportunity to make any
formal motions before Justice Mills
at his chamber in Mount Vernon.
The prisoner took the decision
coolly. His only statement in denia,
was the assertion in court of the
opinion that he still cherished the
same delusions that drove him to
shoot White.
Justice Mills determination was
based principally on the opinion of
DR.. Amos Baker, assistant superin-
tendent of Mattewan. "All such au-
thorities," says Justice Mills. "are
public officers with no conceivable
motive except to do their duty"

In a snappy ball game played last
night and which was concluded in
the darkness, the Eagle Livery &

hold of the cellar, the score standing
9 to 10 in favor of the Ellis-Forde.
Both teams were obliged to fill out
by using members of outside teams.
Boyd and Stocker formed the battery

twenty tivs, and the Populsts bad three.
At the beginning of 1896. after Utah had

Decay Of RuiIdina Stones.

The causes Of decay in building
stones are various and depend ON the
physical structure OF the stone, its
composition and the nature of the sur
rounding atmosphere. The most de
structive agent to which the stone Is
exposed is. rain or moist atmosphere
and also in minor degree wind. frost
and smoke. The air OF large towns Is
usually charged with various deleteri-
Gus acids. These acids are dissolved
by the rain. which penetrates the stone

In this language the syllable ''ba"
