Found for Boat EMPLOYEES.

Judge Palmer had a civil suit in
his court yesterday afternoon in
which Arthur Lawrence sued the C.
& o. Steamboat company for $20.65,
the amount which he claimed for
service as a deck hand. Lawrence,
it appeared from the testimony in
the case, had attempted to throw of
package of pipe fittings at one OF
the up-river landings and fell short
on his throw and the castings went
into the river and were lost. The
boat company sought to deduct the
value of the castings, $12, fom his
salary, but as it was shown that the
man was acting under orders from
a superior officer the court allowed
his salary in full.

RIVER COMMISSION
IN SESSION
MEMBERS MEET IN WENATCHEE
TODAY TO DISCUSS IMPROVE
MENT OF THE UPPER COLUM-
BIA RIVER.

The first meeting of the Columbia
River improvement commission is
being held in Wenatchee today. The
commission consists of the following
persons: State Senator A. w. An
derson, of Stevens county; James B.
Balentine, of Spokane; w. w. Bry-
ant. county commissioner of Stew
ems county; Herman Cornell, of
Bridgeport, and Capt. Fred McDer-
mott. The commission was appoint
ed by Governor Hay to look after the
expenditure of the $4,000 appro-
priated by the state. The commission
is composed respectively of state
senator, an irrigation man, a county
commissioner, man who is con-
versant with the up-river country
and river captain. With this COM
bination it is believed that the money
will be spent in a most judicious
manner
Many times the sum appropriated
could be spent on this river to ad-
vantage but even the $4,000 will do
much toward opening up the river at
certain seasons of the year. While
nothing definite has been done by the
committee up to the time of going
to press, it is generally understood
by the members of the commission
that greater part of the money will
be spent at Foster creek The blow
ing out of some rocks at this place
will allow the boats to ascend the
certain stages of the river, thus af-
fording an outlet for the crops in
Ferry and Stevens counties. The
work of the committee is important
to Wenatchee in that it opens up a
new territory tributary to this city.
The commission was entertained
at an informal dinner today noon,
given at the Great Northern hotel by
the Commercial club, at which there
were present a number of the club
officials AMI representatives of the
press.

badly burned yesterday afternoon at
the fire at the Miller home, on Mis-
sion street. is much easier this morn
ing. Both hands and arms were
badly blistered but it Is not AS seri-
Gus as was at first thought. The
origin of the fire was determined last
night when Mrs. Miller became
easier from her injuries. She stated
that she was using gasoline to clean
the clothing of her little boy, and
in some manner match dropped
from the boys clothing and was
stepped on by Mrs. Miller, igniting
the match and causing the fire. In
attempting to throw some of the
articles on the porch which had
caught fire, Mrs. Miller was quite
badly burned.

OFFERED CITY FREE
POWER
PRESIDENT GUM OF THE WE.
NATCHEE ELECTRIC co. TEN
DERS THE CITY POWER FOR
FIRE PROTECTION,

Immediately after the little fire of
yesterday afternoon at the Miller
residence, when it was seen that the
city was without adequate water,
President Gum of the Wenatchee
Electric company made the following
offer to the city:
July 2, 1909.
ITO the Mayor and City Council.
City of Wenatchee, Wash.
Gentlemen: We understand that
at the fire this afternoon there was
not sufficient water in the city mains
to have given any adequate protec-
ton
Realizing the particular danger
just at this time. with extremely dry
weather and the Fourth of July ap-
preaching, and desiring to do our
full duty as citizens of the town of
Wenatchee, the Wenatchee Electric
company offers to furnish current to
operate your pumping plant for a
few days over the Fourth of July
without charge We are doing this
for the sake of fire protection only,
and do not intend to offer the city
free current to furnish water to the
city for domestic and irrigating pur-
poses.
Respectfully,
''WENATCHEE ELECTRIC co.
Arthur Gum, President"
This morning Engineer Ward
found that the Entiat Power & Light
company would be ready for opera
tions by noon and notified Mr.. Gum
that power would not be needed pro-
viding the machinery for the Entiat
Power company run smoothly. In
case it did not the city would be very
grateful for the offer Of the Wenat-
chez Electric company.
At 3:15 this afternoon the Entiat
Power company started up the plant
at the cannery and pumping opera
tions were commenced. 1t is thought
that the pump will work all right
and that the reservoir will be filled
up thus giving the city plenty OF
water

SES-
SION ENDS
SENATE AND HOUSE OF REPRE-
SENTATIVES ADJOURN UNTIL
AUCIIST II IMPEACHMENT
BOARD REDUCED TO THREE.

Olympia, July 3.-The senate and
house of representatives adjourned
the extraordinary session of the
legislature shortly before 2 o'clock
yesterday afternoon until August IL,
the date fixed for the trial of i'm
parchment of State Insurance Com
missioner John H. Schively.
The Hay forces in the house re-
ceded from their position of the
morning objecting to the reduction
of the impeachment board of man
ayers from II to 8. They voted to
accept three and Speaker Meigs,
Representative Sparks and Repre-
sentative Edge were named by bal
lot.
The conference committee on the
compensation of members employed
in the Impeachment proceedings sub
mitted a report fixing the salaries
of senators at S. per diem and SIC
per diem for the three managers
The report was adopted.
The feature of the house morning
session was the fight precipitated by
the introduction of resolution by
French, of Clarke, resembling all for
mer action relative to the member
ship of the board of managers of the
Schively Impeachment proceedings
and naming as managers the speak
er and Representatives Lambert and
Edge. The board, when the house
met, consisted of eleven representa-
tives-the speaker and Messrs. Lam
berta Buchanan, Frank c. Jackson
Todd, McGregor, Sparks, Taylor
Hubbell, McMaster and Edge.
French, Beach, Weir and Other
members of the liberal element ar
gued that it was a needless expense
to the state to have such a large
board, as the prosecution of the case
was practically complete in the at.
torney generals Office and three
members could do the work Of
eleven.
The house early in the morning
session indicated its disposition tt
refuse to consider the six or eight
bills of purely local Importance tha,
passed the senate yesterday, and
everything was referred to the usual
/ committees.
The senate transacted a little mi
nor business during this morning
session. Falconer's motion to amend
the rulings of the impeachment pro
cedure requiring that showing be
made that requested testimony is
material before subpoenas are is
sued. and the Graves resolution
that the senators be allowed no pay
between the time of recess and Aug
ust II, when they will reconvene

SURPRISED At VAL
LEY'S GROWTH
w. j. CURRIDEN, WHO is TRAV-
ELING CONTINUOUSLY, SAYS
WENATCHEE IS THE BEST AD-
VERTISED APPLE BELT.

"The Wenatchee valley is the best
advertised fruit section of the United
States. have been from New York
to Alabama all through the Southern
states and as far northeast as Massa-
chusetts upon the New England coast
and everywhere I have seen the We
natchee apples. l have seen people
stampede in Chicago to get the We
natchee apples"
This is the statement made this
morning to the Daily World by W. j.
Curriden, who four years ago spent
several months in this city as editor
of the Wenatchee Advance. Since
leaving here Mr.. Curriden has visited
almost every section of the United
States from New York to San Fran
cisco, and he says that there is no
section in the nation that has such
a great future before it as the apple
belt of this western country.
"Wenatchee apples are the best
known apples and therefore bring the
highest prices. The remaining un-
developed portion of the valley which
is not under irrigation but will later
be under water should add a tremen-
dous volume of trade and bring
greater success to the city of We
natchee. / was astOnishei this
morning when l first looked up and
down Wenatchee avenue and across
the Columbia river, what used to be
the eyesOre and now bids fair to be
the most attractive and productive of
the Columbia river valley | refer
to that strip of land across the Col
umbia river. opposite Wenatchee,
which anyone could have purchased
five years ago for a song There are
reasons why the apple industry of
the state of Washington will con-
tinue to bring it's larger and larger
profits. | found from my travels that
the vast apple orchards of New York
state, Missouri and Arkansas no
longer exist. Blight and disease of
various kinds is rapidly destroying
these centers as apple producers,
thus making a greater demand for
the irrigated apple which has always
held preference. I am reliably in
formed that deficiency of $4,000
boxes of apples occurred in 1908 in
the United States. This fact, coupled
with the increasing demand for We
natchee apples l regard as a very
profitable omen for the coming sea-
SON.
Mr.. Curriden. who temporarily
abandoned the newspaper field, is
now heavily interested in mining in
the states of Nevada, California AMI
the tel lritory of Arizona. He is sec
retary of one mining company in Ari-
zona which has produced 100000
during the last few years. They are
opening vast amount of ore which
promises to quadruple, the results
of the past Mr. Curriden came
here for the purpose of having a
short visit with J. l.. Corey. with
whom he has been associated in
newspaper enterprises, but as he
found Mr. Corey was absent from
the city he will leave on No. 4 for
Spokane.
