COLUMBIA WATER
BY JUNE 10
ON CITY WATER
PLANT IS ALMOST COMPLETED
TEN DAYS MORE WORK ON
RESERVOIR.

City Engineer Ward says that there
is no question but what the city may
be supplied with Columbia river wa
ter by June Is and possibly some
days before that time.
Contractors Ball & McNerney have
about ten days more work on the
reservoir and when that Is completed,
as far as they are concerned, there is
no reason why pumping operations
can not be commenced after that
date.
The Elliot Bay Iron Works of Sc
attic, which is furnishing the pump
ing apparatus, have the machinery at
the station ready for installation at
once. This should not take over ten
days, and as soon as that is ready
pumping can be commenced. Ball &
McNerney will not have all their
work completed by that time but the
further work can be completed after
pumping is started.
The city is in hard straits now for
water on account of the break In
the high line. The city has been
shut of from that source OF supply.
The city sprinkler has not been rum
ming for several weeks and the
streets are in a fearfully dusty con-
dition. The lawns are suffering and
the citizens generally have curtailed
the use of water and everybody is
looking forward to the time when
Columbia river water will be avail
able.

A freight engine went Off the track
last night within the city limits. The

went through on time and an ex-
change of passengers was made by
the east and west bound trains at
the scene of the wreck, and No. 8
returned to this city about II o'clock
this morning.
There were large number of peo-
pie at Leavenworth and Cashmere
who desired to attend the Reed fu-
neral, and there was also a lot of
floral decorations that was to come
from Seattle, and the funeral was
delayed on this account.
The wreck caused a great deal of
track to be torn up and it will be
several hours yet before the damage
is repaired.

City Council Last Night Granted Fran
chise to Railroad Company---Gave
Entiat Power Company Franchise
and Also Passed the Ordinance for
Improvement of Wenatchee Avenue

The city council made history last
night. There were three matters of
prime Importance that were finally
decided upon. First, the granting
of the franchise for a depot at the
foot of Kittitas street; second, the
granting of the franchise to the En-
tiat Power company; third, the pass
ing of the Wenatchee avenue i'm
provement ordinance
The representatives of the Great
Northern appeared before the coun-
Gil and asked for the withdrawal of
the petition for the vacation of lower
Orondo avenue, giving as a reason
that it has been deemed that a depot
age of the ordnance provdng foro
site on this avenue would not be
practical. They asked FOR the pass
the vacation of alleys for sidetrack
purposes and for lower iKttitas street
for depot purposes. The members
of the council gave this matter thor
ough consideration last night and,
while the individuals felt that a de-
pot on Orondo avenue would be more
centrally located and more convent
ent for the people of the city, yet,
inasmuch as the Great Northern
which had asked for the vacation of
this street had desired to withdraw
the petition, that the council could
not do otherwise than accede to the
request and unanimously passed the
Kittitas vacation ordinance.
Judge Brown stated that Wenat-
chez is to be the terminus of the We
branch and also of
the Wenatchee-Moses Coulee branch
and that it would not be possible to
provide adequate sidetrack facilities
on Orondo avenue without removing
the mill, which is now in the way.
They also wanted sufficient ground
so that the depot might be beauti-
fed. Incorporated in this franchise
to the Great Northern are clauses
which provide that the franchise Is
null and void providing work is not

BOAT EMPLOYEE
HELD Up
CIRCUS ATTACHES GO THRnIFGn
A. J.. BROWN, A DECK HAND
GAN.

A. J. Brown, who is a deck hand
on the steamer Okanogans had two
thrilling experiences this morning
when held up by men who are sup
posed to have come into the city yes
terday with the Norris & Rowe cir
Gus. Brown this morning was on
his way to the boat, about 4 o'clock,
and when near the Wenatchee De-
partment store corner he was con-
fronted by two bad looking men, who
told him to elevate his hands. He
did so in a hurry, and what loose
change he had about him, amounting
to about 81, was taken. He was
then told to go. He went up to the
Tumwater and told of the robbery
and then went down Palouse street,
intending to go on to the boat, and
when at the end of Palouse he was
suddenly confronted with the same
two men, who again went through
him, taking his watch, chain, ring
and other trinkets. Brown handed
these over, but in doing so knocked
down the smaller of the two holdups.
A gun in the hands of the other man
quellei all pugilistic inclinations on
Browns part.
Onicers Houser and Rem, who
had been notified of the robbery,
commenced an investigation and
within Is minutes of the last rob-
berry the holdups had been captured
and the stolen goods found on them
The men are now in Jail and will be
given the preliminary tomorrow,
after the arrival of the boat Okano-
gan. on which Brown is employed.
The officers believe they have suf-
ficient evidence to send these men
to Walla Walla.

NEW CRIMINAL CODE IS SAID TO
PROHIBIT WOMEN FROM Us
ING FACE POWDER OR PAINT
LIQUID VENEER UNDER BAN

Does the new criminal code which
goes into effect and becomes a law
next month prohibit women from
using paint or powder to give them
selves artificial beauty?
1t is the belief of many lawyers
who have examined section OF the
new code that it does, when the wo-
men who powder and paint gather in
groups or crowds of three or more,
asserts Tacoma report.
amy assemblage of three or more
persons, disguised by having their
faces painted, discolored, colored or
concealed, shall be unlawful" reads
the code
Tacoma lawyers declare that the
use of rouge or liquid face veneer Is
disguise because it covers up the
blanched or faded cheeks and gives
false impression. The liquid We
neer also conceals the face, they say.
The use of paint disguisls the wo-
men and certainly discolors them.

The Norris & Rowe train was on
the sidetrack here all forenoon and
the circus people had plenty of time
to mix with the citizens on the street.
On account of the wreck above Pc
shastin, the train was unable to
leave the city.
Norris e Rowe gave good perform
ances both in the afternoon and the
evening. The attendance, however,
was not up to that of last year. The

No Credence in Wenatchee---Some
Knocker Who Sent False Reports to
the Legislature.

Comes now another report from an
anonymous person that Charges of
misconduct" are in course of prepar-
alton in Seattle against Governor
Hay, alleging that he owned stock
in the bridge.
The report from the Wenatchee

There is talk of a movement to be
set on foot to ascertain the person
or persons who thus working in the

further misrepresentation of the
facts.

the depot is not completed by De-
cember 81, 1909. This provision is
for the purpose of making the rail-
road company fulfill>its promises. The
Great Northern also asked for the
vacation of Thurston street, which is
just south of Kittitas. This Is for
the purpose of making a subway,
giving outlet to the Wenatchee Can
