Olympia, March 4.-Predictions
that the lineup of the ''drys" in the
house would not hold when the local
option bill came up again were full
filled when the advocates of the Nc
Masters county-unit bill were defeat
ed at every turn and quit the day
with ground lost to the extent of
a concession to include cities of the
fourth class. And, what is more,
the "wets' held the whip hand far
Their than that, ana showed that they
could defeat any. proposition of the
'drys."
The break in the dry" lineup
came on the first vote, showing that
in the interval since the bill was up
sentiment had changed to the ex-
tent of making some of the former
dry members indisposed to allow
the bill to consume any more of the
time of the house. The "wets''
Sld11nCo ludL dltCl tIC SIIO LIE thCy
have made it is useless for the ''drys''
to fight further, and that they ought,
in the interest of business of import
ance yet to be considered, to allow
the bill to go through on the basis
of the battle today. The senate, it
is claimed, will accept the house bill
as passed. At the conclusion of the
session of the house this apparently
was agreed to by the leaders of the
"drys." but few of the main fight
ers for the McMasters bill declared
they would try to have the action of
the house reconsidered and would
go at the bill again on the county
unit basis and fight it to the end of
the session on what they contend is
the only basis that will comply with
the platform declaration of the re-
publican party and the wishes of the
majority of the people.

To USE CREOSOTED.
WOOD PAVING
SPECIAL MEETING OF THE
CITY COUNCIL HELD LAST
NIGHT TO DISCUSS PAVING OF
WENATCHEE AVENUE.

The present muddy, unsightly ap-
pearance of Wenatchee avenue has
made its impress upon the members
Of the city council, and a special
meeting was held last evening for
the purpose of agreeing upon a pro-
gram for the improvement of this
avenue. The councilmen are unani-
nous in favoring the creosoted wood
en- blocks for paving, and while the
property owners are to be consulted
some in this matter, yet it is practic-
ally decided upon this character of
paving. These wooden blocks are
about 3x7 inches and in a dry eli
mate such as here these blocks will
last for many years.
1t will take about 80 days to COM
ply with the legal red tape incident
to the starting of this work. The
cost of the improvement of the ave-
nue. is to be betrayed by direct as
sessment. 1t is likely that the cost
will be about $500 per lot. The city
engineer will prepare a resolution at
once, giving specifications for the
work, and the estimated cost. This
resolution fixes a date for protests
to be made against the contemplated
improvements. Should the protests
not be serious then an ordinance
will have to be passed providing for
the work. This red tape will take
approximately 80 days.
1t is proposed to pave the five
blocks, from the courthouse to Sec
ond street north. Besides the paw
ing, cement sidewalks will be laid.

oath of office to President-elect Taft.
For many hours the owners of this
wonderful crop of eyes, and lips, and
hats had been gathering upon the
broad plaza facing the building, and
had patiently endured the crowding,
the ungentle orders of the police, and
the injury to toes and pride that such
crowded wait entails. The presi-
dents stand, with it's f1anking rows
of seats, was built some eight feet
from the level of the pavement, and
the space in front of it, for a radius
of hundred yards, was at first kept
clear by the police and guardsmen in
order that troops might march by
unhampered, and carriages arrive
and depart without injury to the
thousands of spectators. The only
decoration of the presidents stand
was the great blue and gold flag of
Office belonging to the chief execu-
tive. The huge eagle upon this ban

in its beak the familiar streamer
