the room will be used for exhibit
purposes. This forms ID large room
and from it are entrances into the
mems room and the women's rest
room, each about 20x24 The room
for the women is being planned with
the idea of having a rest room for
the women who drive in from the
country. This will be equipped with
the idea of making it as convenient
as possible. Back OF the mems room
is the club kitchen, and back of the
two rooms will be large hall 50x64

with a small platform. seated with
opera chairs and will be rented for

that it will furnish a considerable
revenue to the club. The estimated
cost of the building will be about

The soliciting committee of the
club has raised between $1,000 and
$4,000 already and inasmuch as the
city assists in putting in the party
wall it is thought that there will be
no difficulty in raising sufficient
funds to put up the building. Plans
are rapidly maturing for securing the
funds and 1t is thought that there is
only question Of few weeks be-
fore actual building operations will
be commenced.

TRAGEDY OF 4 KISS

A Wenatchee romance: He had
not known her long, but as she stood
in the moonlight white dress and a
blue sash set off her figure so well
that he thought he had never seen a
prettier picture. And then he did an
awful thing-he kissed her. The in
nocent girl shrank from him in ter
ror, and the young man realized that
he had gone too far. Indeed, as the
painting girl strove to collect herself
sufficiently to express the scorn surg
ing in her bosom, the young man
thought of the beating he must en-
dure the next day from her father
and brothers. and of the long acc
cunts of the fight that would appear
in the newspapers. Fortunately, he
had his hat in his hand and turned
to go. But the girl struggled to
speak; she would express her con-
tempt for his action, though it killed
her. When" she said in a low,
faltering voice. full of deed-seated
hatred. are You coming again

last night contract was entered into
by the council and the representa-
tives of the Commercial club that the
city occupy the first floor of the
building at monthly rental of $100

period of five years. The council and
the committee have had several ses-
sions on the matter and an agree
ment was finally reached last night.
The building is planned to be two
stories. of concrete. and 50X116. The
club will have SO feet of window
purposes. The front of the lower
floor will be occupied by the offices
of the city clerk and the city engin-
eer. Back of these offices will be the
police court which will also be used
for council sessions. This will be
commodious, with a raised platform
for the Judge and the mayor, and
plenty of room for the spectators
who may attend the police court or
the council sessions. To the rear of
the council chamber will be the fire
hall. with an entrance at the south
side OF the building. Inasmuch as

It was expected that there would
be something definite at the special
meeting of the council last night re-

that he will not sign up the contract
until the attorneys for the Columbia
Valley bank pass on the legality of
the Improvement warrants. Mr. Parr
was not ready last night TO pass on
them and it is likely that nothing
definite will be done until the next

Standing of Clubs.

The Printers lost to the Ellis
Forde ball team last night by score
of 8 to 13. The Printers went to bat
FIRST and tailed up three runs. In
their half of the inning Ellis-Forde
run up four scores. In the second
inning the Printers were shut out,
while Ellis-Forde made eight runs.
In the third inning the Printers made
three runs while the Ellis-Forde
bunch were goose-egged. The fourth
inning the Printers made no runs
while Ellis-Forde made one. In the
Eth inning the Printers made two
runs and the game was over-score
3 to 13
Reeves and Hastings pitchers and
Woods catcher formed the battery
for the Printers, while Dunning and
Stocker acted in like manner for the
Ellis-Forde team.
Askew umpired the game in very
satisfactory manner.
There was about 81 collected in
admissions.
The continued playing on the ball
grounds without any sprinkling has
made IL very dusty and with the wind
at ali it is very disagreeable. Ar
rangements are being made so that
the sprinkler will go over the
grounds prior to the games, thus lay
ing the dust and making the play
ing more satisfactory.
One of the laughable incidents OF
the game-and there were many. of
them-occurred when Harry Austin
went to sleep on first base. He made
a nice little hit and was ensconced
safely as he thought on the base.
When he was making the turn at the
base the ball was thrown unbeknown
to Austin to Foxy" Boyd. Dummy"
O'Leary attempted to coach Austin of
this fact but he could not make him
understand. and as Austin planted his
feet off of the base Boyd touched him
with the ball. and the game was
over.

Arousing this spectre of the sacri

Today noon. after City Clerk Sum-

Depot Lunch counter and had gone
out onto the platform. he discovered
that from some cause or other the

result of a cigarette being thrown
from the train by passenger. The
city clerk, regardless Of his own
danger, rushed back into the lunch
counter and secured glass of wa

Management Claims That Not a Person
Has Been Killed in Five Years.

Has Been Killed in Five Years.
New York, Oct. 6.-The manage
ment of the Erie claims that this road
has not killed a single passenger in
five years. During that time it has
carried a total of 3,75O.0O0,000 of peo-
pie, and its passenger trains have run
a total of 100000 of miles. The
road has been able to make this rec
ord partially on account of the fact,
it is claimed, that passenger trains are
not run at higher rate of speed than
track and roadbed conditions warrant.
The Vermont Central claims not to
have killed a passenger in seven and
one-half years.
