To
FIGHT FOR
SITE
NORTH COAST AND GREAT NOR
THERN BOTH SAID TO BE Az
AT METHOW RAPIDS.

Both the North Coast and Great
Northern want a good place to cross
the Columbia river and both have
selected the Methow rapids and the
people of the state of Washington,
and especially the north central part
of, the state, will have the opportun-
ity of watching Lice race for a
most desirable location.
of Pateros at the rapids the river is
narrow with high rocky: banks. In
midstream is a large rocky pier and
the railroad that secures the location
will save many thousands of dollars
and will have a most desirable place
for bridge.
It is said that the Great Northern
has a Typographical map of this
bridge site on file in Olympia, but
the North Coast it seems expects to
give them a race for the location.
The bunch of North Coast surveyors
who landed across the Columbia from
Pateros have taken special interest
in this bridge site. While the North
Coast men were picking out a good
crossing, Engineer Andrews, who has
charge of the work on the Pateros-
Oroville branch of the Great North
ern. was located in quiet little
place obscured from view on the op-
posite bank taking observations
OF the North Coast activities through
his transit. He spent the afternoon
in his little secret place AMI it is
probable that before this the Great
Northern officials have been appris-

North Coast in the vicinity of Pa

GIVE 10000 KISSES
FOR $4,000
PRETTY GIRLS WILL "BUSS" AT
so CENTS EACH TO CLEAR OFF
EMANUEL.

Chicago, Dec. 1S.-The most gi-
gantic kissing bee in the annals of
church fairs is outlined in the plans
of the young women of Temple En-
anuel, north side synagogue More
than score Of them, all pretty,
though of varied charms, have de-
kiss in order to clear off a church
debt of $1,000
They will line up in one corner of
the hall, which will be known as
'Smackville," and kiss them coming
and going. No male person will be
allowed more than a dollars worth
of kisses from the same girl in one
night. If he wants more he must
kiss down the line.
The various kinds of kisses came
up for discussion among the girls.
Many expressed fear at soul kiss
ers' and affinity kissers' These,
said the kiss line, should be drawn
at a sort of platonic or religious kiss,
which was described as a chaste kiss
on the cheek An experienced maid
instantly destroyed this illusion by
stating that no business could be
done and the church debt would
still be there. 1t was then agreed to
take chances with the soul kissers !"
This won't be a love affair. Just
let them smack you a wee bit I
always abhorred mustaches, but il
will take a chance on them for this
purpose"
''It is too cheap" murmured one
IF we raise the price to a dollar we
could clean the debt with 5000
kisses. Now unless they spend
money in the other booths we will
have to give 10000 kisses
That may be well enough" re-
piled Rose Kohn, but many will kiss
for so cents who might not for a
dollar, so we will be more certain
to do a successful business at the
low price. The price is cheap, but
the kisses are a bargain
A rule was adopted that there
should be no monopoly Of business.
Each girl has provided herself with
400 kisses as maximum. Each
will be ready to kiss in rotation. and
it is believed the famous kisses of
johannes Secundus will be beaten to

Washington, Dec. 18.-During the
next few days public business will.
come to a stanistill, while the people
give themselves up to the enjoyment
Of the Christmas holidays. The two
houses of congress will adjourn the
middle of the week and many of the
members will leave Washington to
spend Christmas in their home towns
The United States supreme court will
likewise take a recess until after the
first of the year. President Taft plans
to keep busy, but will doubtless keep
his desk closed on Christmas day to
participate in the family reunion at
the White House.
The latest advices from England
indicate that the celebration of
Christmas will cause little or no let

in that country. Throughout tn,

WOULD WITHDRAW
FROM CLUB

4 number of questions We're dis
cussed at the meeting of the Water
vile Commercial club among them
the question of withdrawing from the
North Central Washington Develop
ment league, which was formed in
Wenatchee last March.
A motion was made by Mr.. Spear
that the club withdraw it's member
ship and after some discussion the
motion was lost
This club paid into that organiza-
ton $45 which was to be used in
advertising the country, but as far
as any one knows, We have not re-
ceived any benefits whatever.
1t was stated that the secretary of
the Wenatchee organization desired
meeting with the club here in the
near future and therefore every one
was willing to await his arrival be-
fore taking any action on this ques-
tion.
Personally, we believe that the
Waterville Commercial club is able
to look after the interest of this sec
tion without the assistance of We
natchee.
1t was decided to have the secre-
tary collect six months back dues
and thus put a little cash into the
treasury for an emergency.-Big

Copenhagen, Dec. 1S.-The con-

ceived the preliminary report cover
ing the first stage of the work of the
committee examining the records of
Cook An excited discussion fol-
lowed The committee has not com
pleted its investigation. The report
is carefully guarded from the other
members of the consistory 1t was
admitted, however, that the work
thus far accomplished has provoked
animated debate among university
officials.
1t appears that the data so far
submitted is not held sufficient to es-
tablish the explorers claims. The
results of today's discussion was q
request on the part of the cOnsistory
that the committee should continue
its work. The university body will
leave to the investigators the proper
manner of making public later the
results of their inquiries. Popular
