Members of Club in Session Last Night
Voted That Chelan Avenue Was too

sire Building Erected on Lots Belong
ing to Club on Mission Street.

donation to the building fund in
stead of a loan. A. H. Wells stated
that his firm subscription would be
doubled and would be donation
rather than a loan. G. A. Harlin did
the same. U. G. Pogue, Ball & Nc
Nerney and E. NJ. Tupper also, while
not doubling their subscriptions, yet
they changed their loan to gift to
the club. 1t is thought that there
will be number of others who will
do likewise.
1t is said that the building can be
erected on the Mission street lots at
an approximate cost of $4,000 and
with the lots and the voluntary sub
scriptions it is thought that there
will be no trouble in securing a loan
for the erection of the building at
an easy rate of interest. The upper
floor, it is thought, could be easily
rented for 800 month, and the
club should be able to put aside an
other $100 a month, and with the
5000 there should be no trouble in
taking care of interest on the loan
and also provide a sinking fund for
the final taking up of the loan.
Following the settlement of the
location of the club a very strong
resolution was introduced condemn
ing the tactics Of Dave Shattuck and
others who have falsely represented
the matter of the Columbia river
bridge. The resolution was very Sc
we're and some of the members pres
ent thought that it should be toned
down before it was finally adopted.
but the sentiment of the meeting
was that no resolution could be too
strong for the residents of Wenat-
|chee. who have proven traitors to
the community.
The fact that the government en-
gineers have turned down the pro-
ject of deepening the channel of the
Okanogan river, so that navigation
in this stream could be possible was
the occasion for letter from the
OkanogaA Commercial club, asking
that this club join in a memorial to
the powers that be, that this matter
be reconsidered and that the en-
gineers favorably report on the pro-
ject so that an appropriation might
be secured.

RIVER MADE GREAT
GAIN
CAME UP ALMOST THREE FEET
IN THE "a HOURS ENDING AT
O'CLOCK THIS MORNING AND
IS NOW 33 FEET.

The Columbia river made great
gain during the "a hours ending at
o'clock this morning. 1t rose 2.S
feet. The government gauge on the
river opposite the depot showed yes
terday morning that the river was
3O.2 feet, and this morning it regis
tered even 33 feet The observations
are taken every morning at 8 O'Clock
by Agent Piper of the Great North
ern and he has complete record of
the river measurements for the past
five or six years. All along the river
people are engaged in hauling out
logs and this will be wood harvest
for those who are able to give their
time to catching the driftwood that is
continually being fioated down the

WANT HAY TO COME
To CITY
KING HAS SENT GOV.
HAY A TELEGRAM ASKING HEM
TO INVESTIGATES THE BRIDGE
MATTER.

In view of the attitude of some OF
the state papers regarding the pur-
chase by the state of the Wenatchee
bridge and also from the publicity
given an interview by the local ferry
man, who has sought to prejudice
the state administration regarding
this matter, President King, of the
Wenatchee Commercial club, on
Thursday sent a telegram to Cover
nor Hay, who is in Spokane, asking
the governor in the name OF the
Commercial club to pay this city a
visit that the bridge matter might
be thoroughly gone over. The gov
ernOr has been obliged to fill other
appointments this week and his time
is pretty much taken up next week
and it is thought that he will be un-
able to come to this city, and it is
likely that Mr.. Hay will turn the
communication over to the investi-
eating committee : in Spokane next
Monday
The telegram from DIR. King to the
governor is az follows:
"Wenatchee. Wash.-GOv. M. E.
Hay, Washington hotel, Seattle: Can
you not meet our commercial club
and the citizens of this and Douglas
counties some day during the week
to confer upon the matter of the sale
of the Wenatchee bridge. We feel
here that the unwarranted attacks
upon you who signed the bill. the
legislature which passed it and the
people who are selling the bridge re-
feet upon all concerned as we'll as
upon the community and the state
at large and that the situation de-
mands and warrants a thorough In
vestigation and explanation of the
situation.

president Wenatchee Commercial
Club"

BY very decisive vote of IA for
and 35 against, the members of the
Commercial club last night rejected
the report of the building committee
for the location of the Commercial
club building on the Chelan avenue
lots. There was no ill feeling de
veloped. The speakers were all mod
crate, but it seemed to be the senti-
ment of most of the members pres

suits to the members of the club
and to the city in general the Com

by the club on Mission street. After
the vote was taken on the location.
the old building committee. Messrs.
Prowell, Gum and Taylor, were con-
tinued to recommend plans and de-
tion Of the building on Mission street.
It seemed to be the sense of the
meeting in a commercial club build
ing the gymnasium, tennis court and
other features planned for the Che
Ian avenue building should be elimi-
mated and that the new building
should, If possible, be two stories,
of brick or concrete, the lower floor
to be used by the club and the upper
floor was suggested as suitable for
city offices and that possibly mas
much as the club lots adjoin those
of the city that a party wall could be
erected The old committee desired
to be excused from further service.
but the members would not hear of
this and the members will proceed
at once to secure new plans for the
building.
The matter was very thoroughly
canvassed last night, and it was
thought that the change Of plans in
regard to the location and in regard
to the elimination of the athletic
features will cause none of those
who subscribed to the Commercial
club fund to withdraw their sub
scriptions.

number of members present gave
subscriptions and would make it a

MORE LAND FOR
HOMESTEADERS
MANY NEAR WATERVILLE TAKE
ADVANTAGE OF RECENT ACT
OF CONGRESS RELATIVE TO
HONESTEADS.

Waterville, June 5.-There has
been considerable activity in the land
Office the last few days, since 1t be-
came known that homesteader who
had not made final five-year proof
could take up an additional 100 acres
under the act of February 19 and
prove up on $40 acres, where hereto
fore only 160 were allowed. Today
eight additional homestead applica-
tions were written. Many who filed
came from considerable distance.
Three drove from Leahy, a distance
of fifty miles. Two secured the COW
eted land, but the third could file on
only 40 acres, as the act forbiis a
person filing unless the land is con-
tiguous to his homestead. Another
man drove 40 miles to file and found
that his land was not in the territory
included under the act, missing the
included territory by only one-fourth
of mile.

meeting a letter was read from the
Okanogan commercial bodies asking
the cooperation of this club towards
securing a reconsideration of the gov

deepening of the Okanogan river and
making the stream navigable to the
international boundary. The engin-
GERS reported unfavorably to this pro-
ject and President King at the meet
ing last night appointed a committee
to draft resolutions required. The
committee was composed of E. A.
Wyman, E. NJ. Tupper and F. W.
Arnold and they reported as follows:
Whereas, Believing in the practic-
ability of making the Columbia river
and its principal tributaries navigable
and deprecating the tendency to de-
lay a work so vastly important as the
improvements contemplated;
Whereas, The Improvement of the
Okanogan river, a tributary of the
Columbia, is proposition of much
interest to the people of this locality
and the preliminary examination of

Oregon City. Ore, June 5.-In a
fit of insanity today at Marquam, 90
miles south of this city Bert B. Gar

der his house and blew himself, his
wife and daughter Beulah, aged s.,

The tragedy occurred while Mrs. Gar
rett and her little daughter Beulah
were in the kitchen preparing break

killed. as was Garrett. who was blown
80 feet from the house and against
a tree, almost tearing off his head.
The force of the explosion was so
great that CARROTS body was blown
20 feet beyond the tree. Mrs. Gar
rett was so badly injured that she
died in an hour. Villa Garrett, aged
16, who was up stairs, if she lives.
probably will owe her life to this
fact. The force of the explosion was
felt for great distance. Garrett has
acted strangely of late and had in

STENC|[[ED FRUIT
CRATES REQUIRED
EARLY SHIPMENT OF STRAW.
BERRIES DO NOT CONFORM TO
RECENTLY MADE LAW-AFsTER
JUNE IL WILL BE VIOLATE.

Wholesalers who have been ship
ping this seasons crop of strawber-
ries call attention to the fact that
few if any of the berries are being
shipped out with the names and ad-
dresses of the grower stenciled on the
crates in accordance with the law
enacted by the last state legislature.
This law becomes operative June II
and after that date it will be an Of
fense to ship fruit which is not prop
erly labeled. From the fact that this
matter has been so thoroughly thresh-
ed out among the growers them
selves prior TO the meeting of the
legislature and had been proved a
good thing for every person con-
cerned, it had been expected that all
of this seasons fruit would have been
marked and not only so much of the
crop as was marketed after the law
became effective.
For Honor of the State.
The marking of the crates Of straw
berries, boxes of apples, pears,
peaches, etc. is held to be for the
honor of the state, as fruit growing
community 1t is presumed that a
grower would not misrepresent wares
which have his name and address
plainly marked on them, for the rea-
son that his reputation as grower
and a business man might be i'm
paired by such misrepresentation
The wholesalers have always made a
practice of marking every box or
crate of fruit which they shipped and
until the enactment of the present
law they have been compelled to
shoulder all responsibility for the
fruit marketed. The new regulation
will permit of their looking to the
individual growers in the event of the
consumers expressing any dissatis-
faction with the goods received.
Safeguard of Great Industry.
The new law is only another safe
guard made by the state to protect
the enormous fruit-growing industry
which is being developed and the var
ious wholesalers and established
ranchers in the Wenatchee commun-
ity are loud in their concentration of
the new measure. They say that fruit
shipments, even now when the law
does not require it. should be made
under the personal guarantee of the
grower in order that Wenatchee may
keep up the reputation for good fruit
which it has always enjoyed.
