BREWSTER GOAL Of
THREE SYSTEMS
COMMERCIAL WARFARE IN Okla
NOGAN COUNTRY MEANS DE-
VELOPMENT in FEW YEARS
HILL INTERESTS GET BUSY.

Brewster, Wash, Nov. 16.-Brew-
ster is the scene of commercial war
that means much to the development
of the Okanogan country. Three
railroad systems are reaching after
traffic, with its great future possibil-
tiles. Two rival irrigation companies
are after the waters of the Methow
river for irrigating the Brewster
flats.
Hill interests have for years con-
sidered the Okanogan the property
of the Great Northern, and have had
il bottled up. Threatened with in
vasion, they have commenced active
construction connecting the Oroville,
Canadian boundary line with the
main line at Wenatchee Talk of
the Great Northern stopping short of
Wenatchee connection is believed
insincere
North Coast a Lever.
The mysterious North Coast push
ing up the east bank of the Columb bia
river into the .Okanogan country
would force the immediate construc-
ton of the Wenatchee connection.
They are threatened on the north
by the Okanogan electric, which is
surveyed down the Okanogan valley
and up the Columbia to Spokane
connections. Right of way is being
bought and it is announced that
trains will be in operation between
Okanogan valley points and Spokane
before January 1. 1911.
The Okanogan electric may be ex-
tended to the coast via the Methow
valley.
For the last year George T. Crane
of Spokane and r. w. Hummer have
been promoting an irrigation COM
pany to water the Brewster flats and
lands along the Methow and Colum-
bia rivers They have failed to COM
mence actual construction of the
ditch, which will release the lands
from the contract January /, next,
If work is not commenced prior to
that time.
Recently the Okanogan Power &
Irrigation company, watering 1000
acres tributary to Brewster, has an
nounced the intention to build the
Methow canal, has filed upon 1000
second feet Of water of that stream,
purchased the meanier land along
the Methow river at the point of in
take, and this week put force of
men at work on construction of
canal at strategic points where rival
bitches or construction of a railroad
may copf1ict.
The Okanogan Power & Irrigation
company is owned and managed by
men of experience in irrigation,
among them being e. F. Blaine and

REFUSES TO PROSECUTE
CASE AGAINST BROTHER
Foreiving Spirit of Giuseppe Gianello
Costs Him Seven Dollars and
Elghty-fVe Cents

The forgiving spirit of Giuseppe
Gianello gained the upper hand yes
terday and when he appeared in JUS
tice Summerfeld's court as complain
ing witness against his brother, Carlo
Gianello, against whom he had brought
a charge of assault with a deadly
weapon, he refused to testify, despite
the vigorous protestations of his wife.
Guiseppe's forgiveness cost him $7.85,
the amount already expended by the
county in the action he refused to
prosecute. This sum, he believes, must
be placed in the loss column along
with other money expended In behalf
of his brother.
The trouble between the brothers oc-
Cured when Giuseppe demanded from
Carlo a return of the passage money
paid for the latter's journey to Los
Angeles from Italy and a board and
lodging debt incurred by Carlo after
his arrival. Carlo replied to the de-
mand by striking his brother with a
chair and the arrest followed.
When Giuseppe declined to testify
yesterday he was presented with an
other bill, the particulars of which
were s175 for subpoaening witnesses,
81. so for serving the warrant of arrest,
SO for filing the complaint and S1.5(
interpreters fees, making a total OF
$7S5, which he paid.

BRINGS SUIT TO STOP
ANNEXATION ELECTION
BELMONT HEIGHTS CITIZEN
OPPOSED TO J0INTURE
Temporary Order Which Restraints
Long Beach and Its Neishborng
City from Consolidating Is
Granted by Court

An interesting legal contest involv-
ing the extension of the city limits of
Long Beach and those of it's little
neighbor to the southeast, Belmont
Heights, and including in its possi-
bilities the annexation of the latter
city to Los Angeles, was instituted in
the superior court yesterday when AL
bert league, a resident property owner
of Belmont Heights, filed an injunc-
tion suit against the board of trustees
and the precinct election boards Of
that city to prevent the annexation
election called for next Tuesday. A
temporary restraining order was grant
ed by Judge BordWell, acting presiding
judge, who set the hearing for Mon
day,
Some time ago an annexation cleo
tion added to Long Beach's territory
a strip of land along the ocean front,
shutting off Belmont Heights from di-
rect access to the sea. Later peti-
tiOn for the annexation of Belmont
Heights itself to its bigger neighbor
was signed by majority of the voters
of Long Beach and a sufficient number
of residents of the smaller city to war
rant the calling of an election. The
opposition, however, was so strong
that the matter was carried to the SUI
preme court, which recently decided
that everything was regular and that
the election could take place. This

FEWER PERSONS WILL
BE GIVEN PROBATION
COURT CLAIMS TOO MANY
VIOLATE THEIR PAROLE
.Judoe Willis Also Declares He Will
Fine Attorneys Who Neglect to
Be in Court When Cases
Are Called

Fewer probationary sentences in forg'
erv cases is the edict of Judge Wills
of the criminal court, delivered yester-
dav after receiving information of the
arrest at San Bernardino Of Tim Hart
nett and his return to Los Angeles for
sentence on a charge of violating the
provisions of his probation.
Hartnett pleaded guilty to a charge
Of forgery, committed December 2S last
when he forged a check for s45 on the
Central National bank. He was given
five years probation and warned if he
again appeared in court on a similar
charge his past record would be taken
into account.
In addition to the usual requirement
of reporting to the chief probationary
officer once a month, Judge Willis in
structed Hartnett to call at his chaIn-
bers twice each year and relate how ne
was getting on. Hartnett was arresteo
in san Bernardino on another charge
of forgery, recently committed, and will
appear for sentence Monday.
''There is no person who is more
staunch in his belief in the Dement'S Oh
the law providing for probationary sen
tenCe than myself St4Q y uuBS W AAu9
Yesterday. "Forgeries, however, are be-
coming too numerous, and believe one
cause is the placing on probation of SO
many persons accused of this ofense.
Hereafter this law will be applied only
to the most meritorious cases, and even
the fact that 1t is the first offense Will
not be considered as heretofore, unless
that fact is supported by the best OF
reasons why parole should be ex-
tended
Judge Willis also stated he would
take steps to prevent delay In Grim
inal cases because Of the late arrival
of attorneys or their failure to appear
in court when their cases are called.
This statement was made in connec-
ton with the non-appearance of an at
torney. representing A. Harris, negro,
charged with assault with a deadly
weapon and who mas been in the county
Jail a long time awaiting the dispose
ton of his case, which has been con-
tinued from time to time owing to his
lawyers absence.
Court proceedings are interfered
with on account of these delays" said
Judge Willis, land that is equivalent
to contempt. I think good results will
follow the imposition of an occasional
fine, and I expect to adopt this
method"

Alleged Robber with Telling
Effect

NEW YORK, Oct. 15.-Mrs. Ellen
Denbirs' childhood training on ranch
in Arizona proved a valuable asset to
her yesterday when she encountered a
man who had formerly been a lodger
in her house. She whipped out ten
yards of silk rope she had just bought
for decorating purposes, lassoed the
man and tied him fast to a tree in
Madison square.
It was done so quickly that the
victim, William H. Davis. was taken
completely by surprise. Mrs. Denbirs
simply smiled after her successful per-
formance with the lasso and waited for
detectives who hurried across the park
to arrest Davis.
"That man came to my house." said
Mrs. Denbirs, land engaged a room.
He paid me for a week in advance.
Next morning he was missing, and I
discovered about $40 worth of my prop
erty, principally articles that were in
his room, was gone Also
Davis protested his innocence, but
he was recognized by the police as an
old offender, and was held for trial.

FREIGHT MOVEMENT OF
COUNTRY SHOWS GAIN
Railroad Expert Declares Nation Has
Recovered from Industrial De-
preston of TWO Years Ago

NEW YORK, Oct. 15.-According to
Julius Kruttschnitt, director of opera
tion and maintenance Of the Union
Pacific Southern Pacific lines and the
allied Hartman interests, the freight
movement of the country is greater
than ever before.
"Our reports" said Mr. Krutt-
schnitt, "show that traffic of the rail-
roads for October this year will con-
siderably exceed that of October, 1907,
when it had reached it's high water
mark.
"We have not yet reduced it to terms
of percentage, but sufficient data are
now in hand to substantiate my state
ment.
This is an lndisputable sign the
country has fully recovered from the
industrial and financial depression that
followed the disastrous panic Of two
years ago.
Moreover, IL shows beyond doubt
everybody is at work and that our
marvellous productive capacity has re-
sumed its normal efficiency"

.sThe valley never looked better, SAID
Mr.. Holt. "The cotton crop, whlle not
as big perhaps as some persons II tli9
first flush Of enthusiasm had preolcted
for II PROMISES exceedingly well. They
have picked as high as bale ana
o,larter an acre, and that is very
proftable cotton growing. other crops
are in GOOD shape. The weather mas
moderated now, and from now on until
late next spring will be ideal"

who are raising stuff in the valley that
has to be marketed soon after it is har-
vested appreciate the move for cold
storage and are giving us strong en-
couragement.

IL. and at Holtville one with six stores.
The contracts for these are let, ana
work will begin Immediately and De
