CHANGE ELECTRIC
RATES
ELECTRIC co. AN
NOUNCEs RADICAL CHANGE IN
RATES COMMENCING FIRST OF
NEXT MONTH.

The Wenatchee Electric company
has announced a change in rates to
become effective December 1. The
change Is a radical one and means
a saving of thousands Of dollars to
the consumers of electricity in the
city. The minimum rate on resi-
dence lights has been reduced to 81.
This in itself Is q Is per cent reduc-
tion on the present rate. In addition
to this on all renewals the customers
are given free globes. For instance.
when globe burns out all that is
necessary is that the burnt globe
should be returned to the Wenatchee
Electric company and new one will
be given in exchange. This in itself
will cost the Wenatchee Electric COM
pany $4,000 per year. There is also
a complete reaijustment of the COM
mercial and power rates. President
Gum has promised for years that
just as soon as the business Of the
company was on a different basis,
that is, when it was in a position to
have all the power that was needed
for the business and should in itself
be on a business basis, that a read
justment of rates would be made and
the customers Of the company be
given the benefit of the reduction.
With the securing of the additional
power on the Wenatchee river and
a remodeling of the city and Squill-
chuck plant the company has deemed
it wise to go over the schedule and
make the change, commencing the
first of next month. Both President
Gum and H. w. Soldering have
worked for the past two months on
the new schedule and now that it is
completed Mr.. Gum states that he is
willing to put the schedule of the
Wenatchee Electric company, for
fairness, up against the schedule of
any other city in the state One of
the principal changes will be to give
the customer, either the big or little
one, who is using the power for the
long hours in the day the benefit of
the new rate In other words the
customer who uses the power the
longest hours will be given a better
rate than the one who uses the power
but few hours during the day.
The change in rate means great
deal of work for the company be-
tween now and the first of the month
as new forms throughout have to be
made.

ONE MAN IS CROP
$4,000
FARMER THIS
YEAR GREW 10000 BUSHELS
OF WHEAT-WAS A POOR MAN
A FEW YEARS AGO.

Carl Smith of the Waterville coun-
try, who few years ago was a poor
man, this year will receive for his
crop the neat little sum OF $4,000.
His place OF nine quarters this year
produced 5000 sacks of wheat or
10000 bushels.
He purchased two quarters last
spring, paying for it the sum OF
$4,000 and from the size of his
crop 1t is not improbable that he
will be ready for two more the COM
ing spring.
At present three teams are busy
hauling the big loads of golden grain
to Withrow.
1t has been only a few years ago
that Mr.. Smith was man of small
means. 1t Is told OF him that he
once hauled his crop to Coulee City
a distance of thirty-five miles and re.
ceived for it seventeen cents bushel

GREAT NORTHERN WILL DO
AWAY WITH USE OF COAL AND

CASCADE MOUNTAIN SECTION.

Everett, Nov. 12.-So vastly bene-
fetal has the Great Northern Railway
company found its electrification of
the Cascade tunnel, from the stand
point of cleanliness, additional speed
and perfect safety. that plans are
under way not only to operate cleo
trio motors through the big bore, but
to draw all Great Northern trains
over the Cascade division by elec-
trical force, eliminating all coal
burning locomotives between Wenat-
chez and Everett, and the substitu-
tion of powerful motors through the
mountainous district separating east
ern from western Washington.
Steps are now progressing where
by the Great Northern will bring
into play a magnificent water power
of 5000 horsepower to complete the
classification plan. This power Is to
be harnessed from Chelan Falls, and
will cost completed 100000. En-
gineering is already under way at the
falls. This power was secured sew
eral years ago for the Great North

WILL GET MILITIA
COMPANY
COLONEL JOHN McKINZIE SAYS
THAT NATIONAL GUARD OF.
FTCIALS WANT TO ESTABLISH
COMPANY IN THIS CITY. L

Colonel John McKinzie of the state
national guard is in the city today,
arriving on No. 4 last night There
seems to be no serious difficulty in
the way of securing a company of ma
tional guard for this city. In secur-
ing it there are no financial obliga-
tions imposed upon the city. The
state pays for the armory rental and
the United States war department
furnishes the uniform and equip
ment. 1t is simply up to the city to
secure the full quota for the COM
pany and provide a temporary cap
tain who has had three years military
service. 1t is thought there will be
no difficulty whatever in furnishing
the required SO men, the minimum
required for mastering in.
Colonel McKinzie this morning
stated that on account of its location
Wenatchee was looked upon very
favorably for the location of one of
the two new companies which are to
be mustered in. There are other ap-
plicants for the honors but in placing
the company the state officers take
into consideration the location. An
other point that looked good in the
matter of locating the company here
was the statement of Colonel McKin-
zie that the state is very liberal in
the appropriation for armories. Ar
mories have been built in Seattle,
Spokane. Tacoma and several other
places in the state. Last year Bel
lingham, with two companies, Sc
cured an appropriation for $4,000
for an armory there and Colonel Nc
Kinzie thought that should this city
continue to grow and another COM
pany be located here that there
would be no difficulty in securing
a big appropriation for an armory
building.
During the day Colonel McKinzie
examined the skating rink building,
the Wenatchee theatre and other
places for a location and it is
thought that there will be no diff
ficulty in securing place.
The Spanish War Veterans are
taking the initiative in securing this
company here and Colonel McKinzie
has been furnished the names and
service of several who are eligible to
the captaincy and the nationall guard
guard authorities will pass on the
merits of the candidates available for
the captaincy The matter must be
hurried as Colonel McKinzie desires
that the company should be mustered
in within 80 days and within so days
it will be reviewed by the United
States review officer In order for the
state to secure its appropriation from
the government for militia purposes
it is necessary that the state have
the full twelve companies. AS it is
now it is two short and these must
be filled out before the examination
is made by the U. S. government
officials.

could handle the rife as well as they
die, and was always welcome at the
peasant cottages, with their single

the whole nation. whose characteris-

NJ. c. JenisoL in Harper's Maga-

a portion Of the hall, which was con-
structed like a letter L. The hall eX-
tended to the roof, but the branch at
right angles was not half the height.
It was ceiled about ten feet from the
floor. and instead Of being, like the
hall, paved with slate, had oak board.

Mr.. JOrdan's father had knocked away

and house, but agreeable to the taste
of the period, and admitting more
light. A paneIled division cut the
room off from the hall. Barbara and
Eve could not agree about the adorn-
ment of this apartment. On the walls
were a couple of oil painting and
Barbara supplemented them with
framed and glazed mezzotints. She
could not be made by her Sister to see
the incougruity Of engravings and oil
paintings hanging side by side on
dark oak panels. On the chimney

sofa; so were zome drawingroom
chairs purchased by Barbara, with
curved legs. and rails that were fall

these chairs handsome, Eve detest-
able. The chimncy-Diece ornaments,

HARRY THAw INSANE.

White Plains, Aug. 12.-Harry X.
Thaw was today adjudged insane by
Justice Mills in a decision harded
down in the supreme court and order
ed back to the Mattewan state asylum
for the criminal insane imediately.
Arrangements have been made to
take him back tomorrow.
Justice Mills in his decision finds
Thaw now insane and unable to prop
erly care for himself.
The decision contained 5000 words
and thoroughly covered the insanity
hearing.
Thaw awaited the decision in his
cell at the white Plains Jail and ner-
vously paced back and forth.
When told of the decision he stag
eered backward and fell upon the cell
cot and for time could not be arous-
ed.
His mother and sister were almost
overcome by the news.
