NEW YORK. October 30.-The follow
ing wireless message was received by the
Associated Press tonight. which disproves
all reports circulated regarding pos
sible mishap to the North German Lloyd
steamship kronprinz- ssin Cecilie:

York at pm. Wednesday.
Origin of the Rumor.
PARIS. October 30.-Origin of the ru-
NOR concerning the possibility that the
steamer Kronprnbessin Cecilie had met
with some accident is founded PROBABLY
on the finding the shore near Cher
bOurg Thursday of life buoys marked
with the name Of the steamer 1t is
thought that these may have been thrown
over by passenger or that a sailor ma Y
have been washed overheard.
An additional reason for apprehension
was the discovery by French mail

mel resembling a deck boat OF "A large

Italy's Obligations.

The apparent inconsistency of this ac-
ton does not in fact exist. 1t is well un-
derstoOd that Italy's obligations of mill
tary cooperation under the terms of the
triple alliance arise only in case one or
both of her allies are attacked by Rus
STA and France simultaneously. Italy Is
in no way bound to cooperate I'm any
combatve or provocative policy. 1t is an
emphatic guarantee of the pacific inten-
lions of the triple entente that its MEM
berS seek the adhesion Of Italy as a
fourth member of their league of peace
while advising her to keep intact her eX-
listing obligations.
Emperors William and Francis Joseph
will probably feel that Italys value as
an ally has been reduced almost to the
vanishing point for practical purposes
by her action this week, but she retains
her voice in the triple alliance and her
influence so far as il goes will be re-
straining and pacific.
Effect of New Compact.
The first effect of the creation of a
new quadruple entente is to be seen in
the developments of the situation in
southeastern Europe. Italy is in com
plete accord with the other three pow
ers in the general policy as to this coun-
trr. She will strenuously oppose any
moves toward further ACKNOWLEDGMENT by
Austria or any efforts to alter the status
quo. The present serious crisis i'm Greece
threatens to call out the first united ac-
ton by the auadruple alliance, and there
are some who fear that Germany and
Austria may seize the occasion to give
indirect evidence of their resentments
against Italy in this connection.
incidentally IL may be safety asserted
that the German government already Sc
cretly repents it's highhanded treatment
of Russia last March.

ITALY AND TRIPLE ALLIANCE

Special Cablegram 10 The Star.
LONDON. October 30.-The full mean
ing and effect Of the cars visit to Italy
are now clearly understood in the diplo-
matte world. The meeting of the car
and Victor Emmanuel was. as already ex-
planned in these dispatches. the direct re-
suit of the ultimatum sent TO Russia by
Germany last March. which compelled
the car to accept Austr!a's violation OF
the Berlin treaty in Bosnia and Herzego-
VIVA. This was made clear by the car $
ostentatious avoidance of Austrian terri
tory on his journey to and from Italy.
1t was feared both at Vienna and Bcr-
lin that the result OF his visit might be
the early withdrawal of Italy from the
triple alliance on account OF her strong
opposition to Austrias Balkan policy.
This fear was altogether baseless. On
the contrary no such move has been at
any time contemplated. Russia neither
suggested nor desired 1t. Both Britain
and France are i'm entire accord with her
on this point. 1t Is true. nevertheless,
that as a result of the cars visit Italy
has Joined the triple entente and assoc
ciated herself with the policy and aims of
Great Britain, Russia and France in all
important features of the European situa-

Spends HOLIDAYS in tntiat Valley

School Supt. Emmett spent his va
cation at his fruit ranch in the Entiat
Valley. He says most every body in
the Entiat Valley seem confident that
good times have come in earnest.
Land seems quite active several trans
fers having taken place within the last
few weeks, and several new dwellings
have been finished recently.
Work is progressing on the Entiat
Electric Power Cos big ditch and
power plant which is being made of
concrete. A steel wagon bridge is
just being completed across the En-
tiat river about five miles from the
Columbia. 1t is the general opinion
that the Hill road will be built up the
north bank of the Columbia soon.
Some say the grading work will begin
within a month. The Entiat valley
produces the biggest, the reddest, and
the best OF big red apples-Wenatchee
and Yakima not excepted, and with
this new railroad, will come rapidly to
the front.
The Orondo irrigating project seems
to be making but slow progress. 1t
seems the promoters want something
like $40 per acre for putting the water
on the land and SIS per year main
tenance fee. Only one signer had
been secured by Jan. lst.

nicely under Gene Skyles and Mr..

Supt. on the Democratic ticket, seems

City Marshal Otto has had his hands
full this week looking after the case oI
August Abrahamson, a ten year old
boy, who is out of the reform school at
Monroe on parole and who ran away
from home where he was living with
his parents at Everett. The little fel-
low tried to rob the marshal while held
in his custody, but was discovered in
time to prevent his escape, and was
taken by Marshal Otto to Everett,
where he was turned over to the auth
critics. This little fellow seems to be
a hard case to handle as the lash Of the
law seems only to effect him for worse
instead OF better which makes it hard
for the authorities to know just what to
do.-Edmonds Tribune.

TRAGIC DEATH OF OLD PIONEER
John Miller Loses Life in SnowsIide on
Chistmas Day

The body Of John Miller was brought
here on New Years day from Red
Mountain, where he was killed on
Christmas day. He with John Bryer
occupied a cabin on Red Mountain
where they were engaged in doing
development work on mining claims in
which he was interested. Bryer, who
dug his way out after five hours of hard
work in which his hands were badly
frozen says he and Miller were in the
cabin reading when the noise made by
the slide attracted their attention and
they started for the door, about this
time the slide hit the cabin and he
and his companion were separated.
He dug his way out and went to a
near by camp and secured help and
after two or three days work the body
OF Miller was recovered and brought
here.
The body was embalmed and on
Monday taken to Wenatchee where it
will be kept waiting the return of his
daughter who is in the Isle OF Pines,
near Cuba.
Mr.. Miller was one of the pioneers
Of this section, having lived here some
fifteen years. He was an enthusiastic
prospector and is said to be the first
man to discover mineral in the Red
mountain district, some ffty-fve miles
from this place. He leaves wife and
one daughter, Mrs. Lottie Doyle, who
has been communicated with and is
expected to reach home soon. Mr..
Miller was interested in some valuable
mining property in the region re-
feued to above and always expressed
the most unbounded faith in the future
of the Red Mountain district

BUYS HAYDEN LUMBER co.
The Iamb-Davis Lumber Co. Absorbs the
Hayden Lumber Co.

A deal was recently closed whereby
the business of the Hayden Lumber
Co., with headquarters at Wenatchee
passes to the control of the Lamb-Davis
people. The following is taken from
the Wenatchee World OF Wednesday:
The Lamb-Davis Lumber Company
of Leavenworth has purchased the
entire business of the Hayden Lumber
Company, and the retail lumber yards
which have been owned and operated
by the Hayden Lumber Company for
the past six years, will be operated by
the Lamb-Davis Company, having their
headquarters at Wenatchee.
The transfer includes yards at Daven-
port, Creston, Wilbur, Govan, Almira,
Hartline, Edwall, Harrington, Downs,
Krupp, Ephrata, Winchester, Quincy
and Wenatchee.
z. E. Hayden, who was the presi-
dent and treasurer of the Hayden
Lumber Company, has been appoint
ed manager OF the yards.
This transfer is one of the biggest
ones OF the year and means the en-
largement of the plant Of the Lamb
Davis Company in order to handle the
lumber necessary to supply all of the
retail stations. The plant at Leaven-
worth is already one of the largest in
the state and employs large force Of
men. The Hayden Lumber Company
has only recently moved its headquarters
to Wenatchee from Spokane, and Mr..
Hayden is making this place his dead
quarters. Under the new arrangement
Mr.. Hayden will manage the retail
yards from this city and this will con-
tinue to be the headquarters OF the
Hayden Lumber Company.
The Hayden Lumber Company man
agement wants to express its apprecia-
ton for the liberal patronage of the
past and hopes that the new manage
ment will have a continuance OF the
good will of the buying public.

Praise for Wenatchee Valley

That Wenatchee valley has boosters
that can "spier some is an assured
fact. We have been in some OF the
booms in eastern cities when we
thought they were going some, but it
was only canter compared with the
Wenatchee valley product.
We were in Sioux City, Iowa, in the
famous corn palace" days when to
buy lot in the morning for 500, sell
it at ten o'clock for 5000, at twelve for
$500 and by six it had reached 81, 900
was going some; when the hills and
corn fields for miles around were laid
off in additions and lots going like
hot cakes. But these fellows would
have to take off their hats to a Wenat-
chez valley booster and go way back
and sit down.
Apropo, the Wenatchee valley boost
ing is of the kind that does good al
though one may get tired once in a
while Of having it dinned in their ears
continuously. However the Wenatchee
valley apple is no fake and has beer
forced to the front where it rightfully
belongs and will stay there. The adage
to hustle like hi and advertise" ha;
made the Wenatchee valley famous.
But really, the great secret of theil
success is the method Of caring for
selecting and handling their fruit
proper care and culture, systematic
packing, and there you have it. The
name "Wenatchee valley" now sell!
the fruit, because the consumer know
that he is getting just what he calls fo
and not box with few fine specimens
on top and the rest an inferior lot
This is their way-and a good one
This is the secret of success in any
thing and the Wenatchee valley is Ger
tainly entitled to boost and crow
little along with the boost. We canno
but admire, although at times we hav
to smile at their boastfulness. Dougla

Every railway station and freight
depot in the state of Washington is to
be examined personally by the mem
bers Of the state railway commission
early in the year. 1t is now the plan
to make the trip of inspection in a
special train, as TO visit every station in
any other way would consume months
of time. The stations will be inspec-
ted by the commission as to heating,
lighting, cleanliness, sanitation, seating
capacity and freight handling facilities.
A formal complaint that will be the
basis for the inspection will be prepared
within few days. Hearings will be
held at each station and findings pro-
mulgated on the spot.
