GREASE NECESSARY

Cold Water and Cold

From now until next spring it is prac-

grease on the finger nails to keep them

and cold weather combined cause them

on whenever there is an opportunity.
even If IT, remains only for five min

TO rub on cold cream Immediately before
drawing on gloves, If one only knows
the trick. 1t consists merely in smear

cloth down so that the surface is wiped.

smeared with cold cream each time be-
fore washing. ii might be thought that
warm water would neutralize the action
OF the grease. but il does not and the
nails are cleaned without becoming

Always during cold weather cream or
grease of other kinds should be thor

ORCHESTRA AND CONCERT COM
PANY FRIDAY NIGHT,

An attraction really worth herald
ing is the Polmatier Sisters Orchestra
and Concert Company, at the Wenat-
chez theatre Friday, January 22,
and there is no room for doubt that
their concert will be the most preten-
tious musical event of the entire sea-
son. A good idea may be had of the
concert by reading the following no
tice from the Edmonton Daily Bullet
in:
THE Dominion theatre was filled
to capacity last night with an audi
ence who went to criticize the Pal
matter Sisters if they failed to make
good, but they did, in fact it was
about the smOothest musical event
ever heard in Edmonton. The work
of the girls was of the very best
class, the various numbers were each
gems in themselves, and the audi
ence called for encore after encore.
The quality of the work of these

the different selections they attempt
ed and rendered to perfection. The
world-famous intermezzo from Mas
cagni's Cavaleria Rusticana was a
delightful item, while the well known
Anvil Chorus" was received with
rapturous applause
That the Polmatier Sisters have
made a "hit" with the citizens of
Edmonton is unquestionable, as at
the close of the concert they were
each presented with a bouquet of
chrysanthemums by the young and
the law students

RAILROAD FRANCHISE GRANT
Ed TO YAKIMA STREET ONLY
This Much Discussed Matter Settled
Agreeably---Railroad Company Sat-
fied---Commissioner Sherburne is
Given Help to Thaw Water Mains---
Yakima Street to Be SideWalked.

The Columbia street franchise
matter was settled last night at the
council meeting by the granting of
the franchise from the diversion of
the sidetrack at the Beal mill as
far north as Yakima street. The
members of the council were in ex-
ecutive session a great portion of
yesterday afternoon, and prior to the
meeting last night Mr.. Snapp put up
the three propositions for the coun-
ell to act upon: First, that the fran
chise be granted as originally read;
second, that a franchise be granted
only to Yakima street; third, that the
franchise be granted as far north
as Yakima street and that after two
years the sidetrack might be built to
Second street north on the petition
of three-fourths of the property own
ers of the west side of the street be-
tween Yakima and Second street
north.
The members of the council on
an unanimous vote, decided to grant
the franchise for the track to Yaki-
ma street. This was passed as ORR
ginally printed in the Daily World,
with the exception that the franchise
was granted to Yakima instead of
Second street north, and that the
council put limit on the franchise,
making it imperative that the con-
year.
Mr.. Snapp, the right of way man.
stated that the limiting of the fran
chise to Yakima street was agreeable

WILL SHIP COLD
STORAGE APPLES
WENATCHEE ICE & COLD STOR-
AGE co. TO SEND FIVE CAR.
LOADS OF APPLES TO THE
CENTRAL STATES.

The Wenatchee Ice & Cold Storage
Company has sold five carloads of
extra choice low grade apples to CEN
trail west buyers. These will leave
here at once. The apples are not the
choice variety or pack but are what
are considered the medium grade ap-
pies here. They are mostly Ben
Davis and will be sold in the mar
kets of Dakota, st. Louis and other
central states points. The price re-
ceived for these apples was $1.25 per
box f. o. b. Wenatchee. 1t is likely
that further shipments will be made
to these same buyers in the near flu
ture.
There are a number of Seattle
buyers here now who want apples,
and for the same grade as the above
are making about the same quota
tons and are bidding as high as
$40 for Winesaps.
Tt is unfortunate that there are not
more apples in the valley than there
are, as the prices are better than they
were last fall The Wenatchee Ice
& Cold Storage Company last fall
advertised the holding of the apples
until spring and the above sales indi-
cate that the predictions of this COM
pany have come to pass.

RAILROADS HAVE
MUCH TROUBLE
CONTINUOUS SLIDES IN THE CAS-
CADES HOLD TRAINS MANY
HOURS-MUCH WATER is RE-
ODESSA.

The soft weather is still working
the west No. 2, due here at 4:35
yesterday morning, did not get in
here until after o'clock this morn
ing, and the train due here last night
at 4:10 did not arrive until o'clock
this morning The most serious trou-
BILE that has been experienced is be-
tween Leavenworth and Chiwaukum
The train was stalled there all day
Yesterday. Great masses of snow
ice, dirt and boulders would slide
down almost as fast as they could
be moved. The early morning train
is having trouble and was reported
this morning to be due here about
l O'Clock, but there is no certainty
as to its getting here at that time.
The rotary left Leavenworth this
morning about 10 o'clock to assist
the work, but there is little<that a
rotary can do on account of the
many large boulders that slide down
The floods reported at Leaven-
worth yesterday are not so bad today
and the water is not coming off the
hills so fast There is a great deal
of water at Odessa today and some
damage is feared.
The c. & O. officials believe that
there has been a break in the ice jam
between here and Rock Island, as the
water has fallen some two feet since
yesterday afternoon. There seems to
be a considerable current running
under the ice and the boat manage
ment is beginning to breathe easier
regarding the situation at the docks
The trains are coming through
from the east in pretty good shape
The tracks are open and the only
bother is the continued cold weather

BIG BLACK BEAR IMPRISONS
WOMAN.

Besieged by a big black bear in
a small shack on the Skeena river in
British Columbia, Mrs. Charles John
son, wife of a Swede railroad laborer,
spent an exciting Is minutes a few
days ago, bruin making determined
efforts to break down the door of the
building in a search for fresh meat.
The frail barrier between the wo-
man and danger showed signs of
weakening after the ponderous brute
bad thrown itself against it a couple
Of items, says the report of the ad-
venture. In order to prevent it
breaking down, the little woman
pushed a chest of drawers against
the door, afterward taking her sta
ton at window to watch the efforts
of the shaggy brute and to call for
assistance.
After while her plight was no.
ticed by her husband and number
of other workmen. The party came
to the rescue. but, being without
weapons, failed to brighten away the
big animal, which was apparently
ravenously hungry and determined
to get fresh meat stored in the build
ing. The swiftest runner in the
party was finally dispatched to a
nearby camp for a rifle, and on his
return a well directed shot ended the
bears career and released the i'm
prisoned woman.

MCCORMICK DREW 500 FINE.

M. c. Mccormick, the Cashmere
saloon man recently convicted in the
superior court on the charge of sell
ing liquor to a minor, was sentenced
this morning to pay a fine Of 800
and costs, amounting in all to
$140.55. Attorney Reeves is going
to appeal this case to the supreme
court One of the grounds for the
appeal is in the cost bills in this
case. An old statute provides that
in assessing the costs in superior
court cases $12 shall be included for
jury fees. Mr.. Reeves believes that
this provision is unconstitutional and
it will be one of the grounds for his
appeal.

and comprising the city's principal
hotel, theatre and restaurant dis

say that the war is being directed
against the characteristic feature of
the world-famous street for the at
tack which is being made by the Mu-
nlclpal Art Society on Broadway's
brilliant illumination is based on the
fact that it is too brilliant. Accord
ing to the censors of municipal af-
fairs artistic who compose the So
ciety, the huge electric signs contrib
uting TO the glow which turns night
into something more attractive than
day in this part of the city not only
violate the dictates of the canons of
art but are a menace in face of fires
and likely to be themselves the cause
of serious CONGREGATIONS. 1t is point
ed out that in the recent Herald
Square theatre fire the firemen were
hampered in their work by the many
wires feeding the big electric signs
that covered the front of the build
