The swift flowing Entiat river is
to furnish the motive power for not
only lighting Waterville, Wenatchee,
drive the pumping plants along the
Columbia river but to operate the
railroad between Waterville and
Douglas and to run the pumps for
the reclamation of 5000 acres of
land in Moses Coulee
The above shows the incompleted
plant of the Entiat Light & Power
company, one mile above the mouth
of the Entiat river. The machinery
is being installed for this big plant
and it is expected that it will be in
readiness shortly after the first of the
year The machinery is the most
modern of its kind and the plant will
be one of the best ever installed in
the northwest. The Entiat Light &
Power company has a franchise for
the city of Wenatchee and it is ex-
pected that power will be ready for
delivery early in the year.
Not only is the Entiat Light &
Power company operating on the En-
tiat river but already Gray & Sons
have a small plant in operation and
power is furnished for lighting Wa
terville. Recently a big company
interested themselves in the Gray
power proposition at that place and
it is reported that quarter of a
million dollars will be expended in
developing power at that place.

EULOGY BARRED
At FUNERAL
AT REQUEST OF W. Nj. LAFFAN,
DEAD PUBLISHER, FAMOUS En-
CERPTS ON IMMORTALITY ARE
READ.

New York, Dec. by his own
request there was no eulogy of Will
liam M. Laffan, publisher and editor
of the New York Sun, at the funeral
services over his body at the Laffan
home, Lawrence, Long Island, says
the American.
Mr.. Laffan, SO far as known, was
not a communicate Of any church.
His faith was simple-he believed in
immortality and friendship, which
with him was another name for chart
ty. Hence it was that the funeral
service consisted of the reading of ex-
cerpts from Buddha, Brahma, Con-
fucius, the Greek and Roman phil
osophers and the Hebrew scriptures.
The Rev. Thomas r. Slicer, pastor
of All Souls Unitarian church of Man
haitian, conducted the services. There
was no eulogy of the dead. no word
of the man or his work, for Mr..
Laffan said he wished none. Instea
Mr.. Slicer read Psalm 1879, in which
the psalmist prayed for sincerity
Then followed Pauls epistle to the
Galatians, preaching the gospel OF
faith in works.
Plato's passage on immortality was
read next, and also Senecas disquisi-
ton on the value of friend. Buddha
Brahma and other Oriental teachers
were quoted either on the souls i'm
mortality or the value of friendship.
Then were read Brownings "Paracel-
sus," a passage from Egypt's book of
the Dead, and Walt Whitman's con-
fession of faith in Immortality. The
Lords Prayer closed the service.
Mr. Laffan was opposed to floral
tributes in the nature of shows,
so only a wreath of loosely tied VIC
lets rested on the casket.

Cashmere Notes.

Oliver Butler, living two miles
east OF Cashmere, is supposed tc
have suicided by throwing himself
into the Wenatchee river yesterday
He was seen to pass Mr. Drummond' s
place. from there his tracks led to
the river, where all trace of him was
lost. Mr. Butler had been in poor
health and went to Seattle to consult
physician. who had the kindness to
tell him that he had a very bad case
of heart trouble and would probably
not live to reach home This trou-
bled him so it unsettled his mind
with the above result.
The Wenatchee river is I'D aroar-
ing and causing alarm all along its
path. The bridge north of town
broke in two this morning and part
of it lies floating in the river. North
Cashmere is flooded, several houses
being surrounded by water. The oc-
cupants are residing on drier ground
The houses will probably stand as
the water around them is not swift.
Alfred Johnson, who had a large
part of his orchard swept away by
high water two years ago, was up
all night watching and preparing to
move if necessary
The Old Maids" played last night
TO a full house Of course the play
was full of fun. The makeups were
great and when Mr.. Makeover came
to make them over into something
else they wished to be the changes
were marvellous. Miss Edna Burbank
wished to be made over into little
child and was rewarded by being
turned out a beautiful, sweet little
two year old girl. Two old maids
were taken to make one man, whe-
Their a man is worth two maids Is
still an unsettled question.

A GREAT MAN :
TELEPHONE

His great instrument was the
telephone" said biographer of the
late Edward H. Hartman in the
Wall Street Journal. He always
had it beside him. The Hartman
switchboard was one of the best
equipped and the busiest in New
York. Whether in his Office, his
library, his bedroom or his bathroom
the telephone was always there and
when he went into the Oregon will
derness the telephone would go, too.
"A slave to the telephone, wrote
New York editor in commenting on
Hartman and his telephone. Non
called to his attention, the telephone
is slave to me-"
1t is altogether likely that much
of the power and influence of the
late Mr.. Hartman was due to the aid
of his telephone. In face, he admit
ted as much. His telephone was his
ever present messenger. always ready
for service. With it he reached all
his business associates and every cor
ner of his vast railroad territory.
man who puts the telephone in his
home places himself in the avenue of
approach to millions of other homes,
shops, offices and farms.
Just as with the railroad king. so
it is with farmers and men in all
walks of life. The telephone in the
home or business place of many
man less famous than Hartman is
performing a work just as great in
Importance, and perhaps is proving
even more of blessing than to the
capitalist whose every command could
be carried out. The instrument was
probably just as important in the
mind of the farmer who wrote:
Il would as soon think of now
ms NY nay Win du Olu-ldS0lOnoO
scythe as try to conduct my farm
successfully without a telephone"
Throughout the farming world the
telephone today is a popular and use
full instrument. 1t was not so long
ago when its use in rural sections
was unheard of. Now it is the farm
er's greatest aid in business, in home
life and for protection. He sells his
crops with the aid of the telephone.
catching fluctuating market at its
very tip. In the spreading of weather
reports it has saved many thousands
of dollars every season to the fruit
growers of the country. 1T brightens
the lives and enriches the social op-
pOrtunities of the wives and daugh-
tiers on the farm 1t is their pro-
lection against hoboes and marauders
when the men folks are away. Per-
haps its greatest service is in bring
ing nearer to home the physician
and the veterinary-in answering in
stantly every emergency of farm life.
The telephones on farms are grow
ing more and more popular and num-
erous. The statement is made by
the Western Electric company, man
ufacturer of the Bell" telephones,
that over 100000 of it's new type of
rural telephones have been sold in
the past ten months. There are now
close to 100000 telephones on
farms inthis country.
When President Roosevelt's Coun-
try Life commission went among the
farmers last year. hearing testimony
on conditions of farm life, it reported
that the greatest encouragement to
farming of the better sort and more
healthful life in country districts was
given by just such agencies as good
roads, the extension of the rural
mail system and the farm telephone.

MOVE THE ROW FROM SEVENTH
 AVENUE

Most of the decent element Of Skag way are agreed that the houses of ill fgme on Seventh avenue are so sit uated as to be offensive to the resi- cents of the north end and reproac to the town in general Visitors in. Skagway are often heard to express wonder that any town would permit such a fragrant Haunting of vice. It is a poor advertisement of SkagwAy as a decent community.
 still more material is the fact that school children. little girls and boys must daily pass the houses of ill fame and young girls and women from the north end are compelled to pass in close proximity to the houses.
 The Episcopal church is located pear the row and on Sunday evenings church goers frequently hear bursts cf dance and song or are jostled by lusttul eyed men. who often heavy with drink. are seeking the women CT the Row"
 Seventh avenue should be in the heart of Skagway's residence district. but it has been usurped by the houses of i'll fame and decent people gre barred from the neighborhood.
 The women on Seventh avenue are conducting an unlawful business and they have no moral or legal rights to monopolize street in the center of town. Their removal should be insist cd upon by every right thinking person and it is only fair to say that a majority of the members of the town council realize that the Row should be moved and will vote for moving it into a less conspicuous pos ition. Such a location will soon be decided upon.

PERSONAL WORKERS NEEDED

The County Chamber of Commerce met at Imperial Wednesday forenoon, and much enthusiasm was shown ov- CT the excellent work being carried on at the Los Angeles Chamber of Commerce for Imperial County by Miss Rose Clifford. J. F. Giles, who has been spending several days in Los Angeles, assisting in this promo tion work, and Dr. J. c. Blackinton of El Centro, who recently spent a week there in the same labors, gave re- ports of the work and urged the ne cessity for continuous personal work being done on the floor of the Cham Der by citizens of the various valley towns. It was the sense of this meet ing that at least six persons could work to advantage all the time in connection with Miss Gifford's daily lectures. More valley literature is needed and fresh valley products are desired to sustain the County exhibit.
 The county chamber unanimously adopted resolution urging the pas sage of a bill creating a State agri- cultural experimental station in I'm perial Valley. and another resolution declaring the passage of Bill No. 946 pertaining to the serving of water to lands on which water stock has not been applied, as mnimical to the best interests of this valley, and urging that the bill be defeated.
 Action on the question of employ ing a permanent county secretary was deferred until later meeting,
 The chamber instructed the acting secretary to proceed immediately to contract for the erection of two sign boards each Sl2x30 feet, at Imperial Junction, bearing the valley advertls- ing matter provided for in the lease of the land from the Southern Paci- flc.
