Plungers for Big Pump.

City Engineer Ward wrote this
morning from Seattle to the city
clerk that the plungers for the pump
at the pumping station were shipped
and would undoubtedly reach here
tomorrow morning. These have
been in the repair shop of the Elliot
Bay Iron Works and after their ar
rival here 1t is expected that they
can be installed in one or two days.
The prospects are that the pump will
be running again the latter part of
the week. Mr.. Ward also wrote that
he had purchased for the use of the
city a Byron & Jackson two-stage
centrifugal pump which will also be
here in a few days. This is to be
installed at the new reservoir and
will be employed in pumping water
into the reservoir south of the city.

N 'K{AN AND THE
NORTH COAST
LOCAL ENGINEER BELIEVES HE
CAN SEE CONNECTION BE-
TWEEN RAILWAY COMPANY
AND POWER SITE MAN.

Il believe that l can see con-
nection between Frank Mexican who
last week purchased from Brown
Bros. of Chelan Falls the last 160
feet of river frontage on the Chelan
river" said a we'll known engineer
of this city to the Daily World to-
day, "and the North Coast railway.
1 am assuming this on account of the
past connections of Mr.. Mexican for
some 20 years. This man was con-
nected with the Union Pacific in a
responsible position and know that
he is well connected and has the
best of financial backing. 1t has
been my idea for some time that 1t
was the Hartman interests that is
backing the mysterious North Coast
railway which has its survey almost
completed into this city on the south.
1t can be readily seen the object of
this railway in securing the power
at Chelan Falls and also in the Met
how valley. All railways are look
ing towards the electrification of
their railways and it seems natural
to me that this road would want to
get in on the ground floor on some
of the available power sites and !
believe I am safe in saying that next
year will witness the actual construc-
tion of this road up the river
through Wenatchee from the bridge
across the. Columbia just below Bev-
erly"

COMP AMY MAY RUN
FAST MAIL
IF POST OFFICE DEPARTMENT
ACCEPTS OFFER NEW SERVICE
WILL BE IN EFFECT NOT LAT
Err THAN OCTOBER IS.

Seattle, Sept. 1.-THE Chicago
Milwaukee & St. Paul Railway COM
pany has made a proposition to the
post Office department to run its pres
ent fast mail train, No. 81, leaving
Chicago daily at 1855 p. m, through
over it's new line to the Coast, arriv-
ing in Seattle at a. m. and Tacoma
at $50 a. m. the third morning. This
delivery will be practically twenty
five hours quicker than the best time
now made.
1t has been reported that the Great
Northern, in connection with the Chi
cago, Burlington & Quincy railway,
has made a proposition for a fast
mail train to leave Chicago at 1850 a.
M, arriving at Seattle at 10 a. m. the
third morning. AS the Milwaukee
train No. 81 catches practically all
the important mail from the east
and, under the proposed schedule,
will reach Seattle and Tacoma for
early morning delivery, the advant-
ages of the Milwaukee schedule from
the business standpoint will readily
be seen.
Officials of the Milwaukee road say
that the road will be in such finished
shape and will be running it's trains
on such schedule time that if it's
proposition is accepted, the new mail
service will be in effect by October
18.
With mail from Chicago and the
Twin Cities reaching here at 6 a. m.
early morning delivery will bring i'm
portant mail to the Seattle business
or professional mans desk as soon as
he opens his Office in the morning.
While the Northern Pacific and
the Great Northern railways plan to
bring the same mail to Seattle in
practically the same time as the Mil
waukee, it is understood that the
best schedule that they have been
able to arrange will not permit of de-
livery of the mail until late in the
morning. The Milwaukee has an ad-
vantage in point of actual mileage in
having 143 miles less to cover than
the Northern Pacific and 6S miles
less than the Great Northern. The
Milwaukee has another advantage in
that it should bea BILE to make bet
ter time because of grade.
The distance from Chicago to Sc
attic on the three roads is as fol-
lows: Milwaukee. 2177 miles; North
ern Pacific, 1920 miles; Great North
ern, 2245.

This is about a 20 per cent In
crease over the first days attendance
at the beginning of the school year
last fall. During the year the high
est attendance reached 987. This
shows something of the rate at which
the city of Wenatchee is growing.
The directors expect that the new
Lincoln building in the south end
will be ready for occupancy about
the first of next month and this will
relieve the congestion in the schools
somewhat. The new high school
building will not be ready until about
the first of the year. Until that time
it is expected that the schools will
be greatly crowded.

D0NEEN IS MEMBER
Of SYNDICATE
LOCAL MAN ONE OF THE ORIGIN
AL 33 LOCATORS OF COAL
LANDS, KNOWN AS CUNNING
HAM SYNDICATE.

M. Doneen, a brother of John Don
cen of Southside, and who has been
making his headquarters here for the
past several years, is interested in
the Cunningham Coal syndicate in
Alaska, which the enemies Of Secre-
tary Ballinger are claiming are given
special protection by the secretary.
Mr.. Doneen was one Of the original
thirty-three locators. The others are
well-known business men Of the state
and the denial is emphatic by Mr..
Cunningham ana associates that any
fraud has been perpetrated or that
there are dummy locators in the syn
dicate.
The Spokesman-Review OF yester-
day contains statement from DR..
Cunningham of Spokane regarding
the matter as follows:
Every one of the 33 claims in the
so-called Cunningham coal lands in
Alaska was entered in a strictly legal
manner" was the emphatic statement
last night of DR.. John G. Cunningham
of this city, who, together with his
brother, Clarence Cunningham, now
of Seattle formerly of Wallace, Ida
ho, and 81 others, entered on rich
coal deposit property neat Katella,
Alaska, about 1903.
Not only does DR.. Cunningham de-
clare that every step taken by the 33
claimants to these particular coal
lands were taken in an open, legal
and entirely aboveboard manner, but
he brands as falsehoois the alleged
statement of United States Special
Agent CLAWS, denying the allegation
that there were any dummy" entry
men used in connection with the en-
trance of the so-called "Cunningham
coal lands" in Alaska, and declaring
that the uggenheim-M m-Morgan-Stand-
ard Oil combine furnished not one
cent of money, directly or Indirectly,
as expense or otherwise, for locating
or developing the property. The con-
troversy has reached from the Pacific
to the Atlantic, and is now in the
hands Of President Taft ani officials
of the interior department for final
decision.

of those claimants, who have been
charged with fraud by government
officials, and tell the truth of the
matter in its entirely.
No Dummy Entrymen, He Says.
There were no dummy entrymen
used in connection with the entrance
of these lands, and since there has
been so much alleged secrecy on the
part of the claimants in this regard,
and since it has been reported that it
was impossible to secure the names
of the 33 claimants even at Washing
ton, where all the records are on file,
l will disclose them at this time"

CAPITAL LOOKING THIS WAY.

H. V. Gates, the well-known
promoter and capitalist Of Hills
boro, Oregon, was in town Wednes-
day looking over the ground with
view to including Fossil in the
chain of towns which he contem-
plates furnishing electric power
generated from the John Day river.
Last week he went up the river
above Monument and filed on an
ideal water right that with an e1-
penditure of 100000 for power
dam and plant will generate suffic-
lent electric "juice" to do the towns
of Heppner, lone, Lexington, Fossil
and Condor for lighting and man
ufacturing purposes for many years
to come. In fact, there is hardly
any limit to the electric power
that can be derived from the John
Day river with monern appliances
aad it is not improbable that Mr..
Gates, when he gets his plant in
operation, will put in an electric
railroad while he is at it, in case
Promoter Charles doesn't beat him
to it. There is untold wealth wait
ing for the man who taps this sec-
tion of country with a railroad of
any kind, and our people don't
much care who the lucky man will
be, just 80 they do not all come at
once, like they did in the Des-
chutes Canyon.
81. V. Gates IS no idle dreamer.
He is a man who does things, as is
shown by his ownership of water
and lighting plants at Heppner,
Prineyille, Klamath Falls, and
many other Oregon towns.

Nothing like spending your mon

So thought a mysterious indi-
vidual who gave his name as "Mr.

He says he answered a green
goods ad and came to Trenton
with $40, for which he purchased
$500 worth of the curio kale
Just to discover how it would go
he started a disturbance in the
street in order to get arrested

handed up $40 bill, and the
Judge gave him Mr.. Walls v in

to get himself table d'hote mea

Chicago is reaching hands out
to its doomed tuberculosis chill
dren. 1t is starting a school for
them where they will learn some
thing from books, more from
heart-to-heart talks from their
teachers, but most Of all. will get
all the help that science and sun.

can give toward making them well
1t isn't hospital. and 1t isn't q
school. It's something OF both,
The significant thing about 1t is
that it's an effort on the part OF
the board of education to fight the
ravages OF the white plague among
the helpless little ones now fading
land dying before 1t.
It's an outdoor school. The chill
dren live in tents. There are few
books to study. There is lots of
play and as much healthy exercise
as is good for them.
No close study rooms. No cramp-
Ing desks to bend cver.~ The
children have comfortable easy in
