DRY-PLAN TWO CONTESTS.

Colfax, Dec. 1.-Eight Whitman
county municipal units out of II
voted to keep saloons from the in
corporated limits in the local option
election held yesterday, Colfax, Pa
louise, Cotton and Tekoa retaining the
grog shops by small majorities, this
the result of the most strenuous cam

Local option forces have been we'll
organized throughout, the saloon in
terests combining their work to the
cities. Threats of boycotting Colfax
merchants should the town vote wet
have been heard among farmers.
Country precincts have unanimous

majority being about five to one.
Work of the farmers union and
grange in the outlying districts, cou-
pied with the opinions resulting from
lack of sober harvest help in the
busy season, has brought about local

WENATCHEE RIVER
FALLING
COOL NIGHTS HAVE SENT THE
WENATCHEE RIVER DOWN.
FLOODS RECEDING AT CASH
MERE-NO TRACE OF BUTLER.

.Advices from Cashmere this morn
ing are to the effect that no trace
has been found of o. M. Butler, miss
ing from that city since Monday and
is a supposed suicide. The searching
parties have abandoned the hunt.
1t is also said that the Wenatchee
river is receding slowly, due to the
cold nights of the past several days.
One section of the steel bridge lead
ing into Nahahum canyon is hang
ing in the river. A considerable por-
ton of the fiat opposite the city from
Cashmere is still under water but the
damage is not going to be very seri-

In discussing the school situation
in this country he said: Our schools
as yet are but experiments. High
school graduates do not know the
three first essentials; 80 per cent
cannot properly read and write and
cipher.
we need a complete change in
school affairs. In the first place chill
dren should not be sent to school
until or years of age In expert
ments made in Europe the pupils
who were kept home until years
of age made greater progress than
those sent at earlier years. We have
turned out school teachers into nice
nurses for lazy mothers.
THE Girl Four Square ought to
know domestic science. More men
are being bankrupted today from the
frying pan than from anything else "
The last statement was strong one
but not to be compared with the
one which followed. "a large per-
centage of drunkards is caused by
poor home cooking" At this the
audience nearly gasped for breath.
'Fletcherize-ani you will save

THE Four Square Girl ought to

FEW HOUSES 4

ACCORDING TO COUNT OF GEO.

THERE WERE But 10 FARM
HOUSES ON THE FLAT.

According to a count made this
week by George Miller and Joe KEEL

On account of the fact that most
of the members of the city council
desired to hear DR.. Matthews lee
ture last night, it was impossible to
get the city governing board together
until after the lecture. when few
minutes session was held. This ses-
sion was made necessary in order to
hurry along the ordinance providing
for the sewer on Columbia street.
This ordinance was put on it's third
reading and passed This was prac-
tically all the business transacted.

SEATTLE MEN BUILD
AER0P[ANES
500, 900 COMPANY FORMED TO
CONSTRUCT MACHINES VARY
ING IN PRINCIPLE FROM THE
WRIGHTS AND BLERIOT.

Seattle, Dec. Seattle will be a
center for the wholesale manufacture
of aeroplanes if a company incor-
porated at Olympia last Friday
proves to be able to manufacture a
full-sized machine that will work as
successfully as the small models
turned out by the inventor, Fred r.
Mills, TIA Denny Way. Mills patent
ed his invention October %, and last
week a 100000 company was incor-
porated with these provisional direct
ors: Fred r. Mills, c. G. Plowe,
whose address is the same as Mills,
and B. H. Kelly, 1888 Eleventh Ave
nue. West.
For years Mills has been work
ing on his schemes. virtually ever
since he moved to Seattle and aban-
doned the circus business, in which
he was recognized as one of the
cleverest and most daring parachute
and balloon men in the country
Model Carries Five Pounds.
He has manufactured two aero
plane models, one weighing a few
ounces, and the other several pounds
and more than three feet long The
large model has carried five pounds
in a fair wind. and proportionately
a full sized machine would be able
to sail through the air with four tons
dead weight
Mills machine is built on diff
ferent principle from those of
Wright. Latham, Bleriot, or any of
the other recognized monarchs of the
air. The full sized machine will be
100 feet long and 80 feet wide in its
main plane, and will have an upper
plane 100 by 70 feet. This is almost
square and is radical departure
from existing types. The inventor
hopes by this innovation to do away
with the swaying and wavering
which the present style machines
undergo when they are not kept
strictly head-on to the wind.
Models Tested i'm Gale.
Both his models have been out in
gale of from 40 to so miles an
hour and even the smaller machine
built of tissue paper and light wood
sticks, did not waver in the least.
The aeroplane will have four
wings. 40 feet in diameter, and will
be equipped with a platform beneath
the large planes for the engine and
operator This platform will be so
by 90 feet and will be arranged SO
that beneath it can be placed two
aluminium boats. Is feet long and 3
feet in diaemter.
Patents have been applied for in
Canada, England, Germany, France
Spain, Italy and Japan. Mills already
has several offers to exhibit his aero
plane and invitations to attend aerial
meets in several countries

companies hold shipping bills will be
delivered by passenger train service.
The tieup today, according to the
predictions of both sides, will be COM
plete.
Freight trains arriving in the
Great Northern and Northern Pacific
yards were tied up. railroad officials
placing it up to the shippers to pro-
vide delivery. An article in the
freight bill of the railroads places
the trouble of strikes on the shout
ders of the consignor and consignee.
With the complete tieup of all freight
trains on the roads affected by the
strike between $4,000 and Is, 900
engineers, firemen, conductors,
brakemen and station men will be
thrown out of employment.
L. W. Brown, superintendent of
the Great Northern, said:
THE strike ties up our freight
service completely There will be
no switching in the yards, all our
passenger trains being through
trains. We will handle the emer-
gency switching as best we can. The
strike will eventually affect thou
sands of men, I believe. and means
dreary Christmas for many. The
public will suffer as result, fear"

st. Paul, Dec. AFTER Is days
of negotiation between the Switch
mems Union of North America and
| the joint committee of railroad man
| ayers, representing 13 railroads Of
| the northwest, strike involving g.
800 swtichmen became effective at 6
J o'clock tonight.
The men are employed by railroads
running west and north of st. Paul
from Lake Superior to the Pacific
coast, and, unless speedily settled,
the strike will mean a serious inter-
ruption of traffic.
The first effect of the strike was a
sharp bulge in the price of wheat
in the Chicago grain market late
today. Roads entering the Twin
Cities and Duluth and Superior are
largely grain carriers from the west.
