PRESIDENT TO TAKE UP
BRIDGE NATTER WITH STATE
HIGHWAY COMMISSION.

At the meteing of the commercial
club Monday night President Kins

tee to force the reopening by the state
highway commission of the compile
ton OF the purchase by the state of
the Wenatchee bridge. The commit

ty. DR.. King will also act with the

Attorney Dovell, who is representing
the interests of the commercial club
in the bridge matter and telegram

date for the committee to proceed
to Olympia The citizens of Wenat-
chez and especially the members ct
the commercial club feel that this
locality has not been dealt with fair
ly in the purchase by the state. of the
Wenatchee bridge. 1t is felt that
there has been too much politics IN
the matter and that the commission
has arbitrarily held up the cOmpli-

IS BEST TOWN IN
THE WEST
O. Is. FULLER STATES THAT NO.
WHERE IN OREGON, IDAHO
AND WASHINGTON IS THERE A
CHEZ.

o. B. Fuller, who returned Tuesday
from a summer spent on the Sound,
Oregon and Idaho, Is very much
pleased at the improvements that
have been made in the city since his
absence. He states that the towns in
Oregon and Idaho are positively dead.
Pendleton. which has a much larger
population than Wenatchee, is very
quiet. The wheat crop in that Sec
ton has failed for the past two years
and it is having a very retarding ef-
feet on the whole section. Mr.. Fuller
states that business buildings which
in this city would rent for from 500
to $500 per month, are renting for
SIS to SIS now in Penileton. The
local option election in Oregon put
about 80 saloons out OF business in
Pendleton and in the places occu-
pied by these billiard halls, near
beer and other joints have been
started. A great many of these places
pay no rent at all-the owners be-
ing glad to have somebody occupy
their buildings so as to protect the
insurance. Outside of Boise Mr.. Full
ler said that he found no good town
in Idaho but the further north he
came the better the conditions are.
He emphatically states that he found
no town anywhere near the size of
Wenatchee that is enjoying the same
degree of prosperity.

SAYS COOK DID
! NOT CLIMB
Mckinley
HAVE REACHED
ARCTIC CLUB ALLEGING THAT
NORTH POLE DISCOvERER DID
NOT MAKE NOTED CLIMB.

New York, Oct. 1.-THE Globe
this afternoon prints a copy of the
affidavit made by Edwin N. Barrill,
who accompanied Cook at the time
he announced his reaching the sum-
NIT of Mount Mckinley The afi-
davit was made before notary pub
lie in Tacoma, October 4, and has
just reached New York Barrill's af-
fidavit states in effect that he was
the only person present with Cook
on the date when he claims to have
reached the summit of Mt. Mckinley
and that he did not in fact reach the
summit. The nearest ponit to the
summit reached was at least IA miles
distant from the summit of the noun
tain, the elevation at no time ex-
ceeding 10000 feet. The affidavit
also brings into question number
of photographs which Cook has given
as representing the summit and other
high attitudes of Mt. Mckinley.
Barrill swears he kept diary from
the time he Joined the expedition and
that while attempting to reach the
summit he, under the directions Jf
Cook, made changes in it to suit
Cooks idea He says the photo
graph alleged to be the summit of
Mt. Mckinley was taken on a jagged
point nowhere near the top, that
Cook directed him to hold the ice axe
with the American flag attached to
the handle to show he was photo
graphed. This photograph is shown
opposite page 227 of the doctors
book entitled "To.the Top of the
Continent" and actually shows a
spot 20 miles distant in an air line
from the real summit Of Mckinley
Barrill states he made certain draw
ings which accompany the photo
graph and which he claims show Cook
was nowhere near the summit. He
says Cook made other explorations
to obtain data which could be used
in making his claim of ascending Mt
Mckinley. Barrill fatty contradicts
Cook in many instances and says the
drawings and photographs of Cook
books do not represen; the true con
ditions.

MAY REMODEL
THE GAME
LAWS
GOVERNOR CONSIDERS NAMING
A COMMISSION FOR REVISION
FARMERS ARE MUCH DIS
SATISFIED.

Seattle, Oct. 14.-Governor NJ. E.
Hay has under consideration recon-
mendation from Pomona grange, or
Whatcom county, that he appoint a
commission to revise the game laws
of Washington. 1t is the contention
of the grange that the present state
game laws not only leave the sports
men in a quandry as to his rights
when he is suddenly confronted with
a game bird or animal, but discrim-
mates against the men who are re-
sponsible for the propagation of big
game in the state.
When the governor returns to
Olympia he expects to appoint COM
mission such as is suggested by the
members of Pomona grange. He has
asked the grange to suggest man in
Whatcom county who would be salts
factory to them. Meanwhile, he has
taken steps to lay the matter before
the members of the rod and gun
clubs of the state and individual
sportsmen who are known to be in
terested in the revision of the game
laws. Pomona grange already has
the sympathy and support of the
governor personally for the proposed
revision and codification.
Farmers Dissatisfied.
Il have received good many let
ters on the subject of our game
laws" said Governor Hay yesterday,
''and there appears to be movement
nj embroyo to give the state brand
new set of statutes on the subject of
game. 1t is very evident that the
farmers of the state believe they do
not get as much benefit from our
statutes on game and game prOtec-
tion as they are entitled to receive,
because they believe that were it not
for their efforts there would be prac-
tically no game in the state. They
think that the city man who goes into
the woods once or twice year gets
more benefit and protection from the
present laws than they do, and, in
addition, the city sportsman bags
nearly all the game. They want a
change
Personally, l think the appoint
ment of a commission well in advance
of the next session of the legislature
to draw up a new set of game laws
would prove of inestimable value to
all concerned.
Law Unsystematic.
I'VE have been constantly chang.
ing our game laws until today we
have lost all trace of the originals.
Blunders and botches have been made
in the enactment of legislation deal
ing with the protection of game in
this state, to such an extent that to-
day our game laws are wholly made
quate to enable the authorities to
deal intelligently with the subject.
and believe they do work hardship
on the sportsmen.
IF I do appoint a commission 1t
will be composed of men whorepre-
sent both farmers and club men,
bers and individuals. Between them,

Take Pains in Describing Prop
erty For Sale.
Does't Believe in Bargain Sale
Plan.

At the meeting of the Topeka Ad-
vertising club held today at the noon
hour, Mr. N B. Burge of ''EImhurst, .
gave a talk on Real Estate Advertis-
ing" During the course of his re-
marks he said:
Real estate advertising is no more
complex, nor is it different from other
advertising. The great thing in sue
cessful advertising is originality. The
more originality, character, and en-
thusiasm you put into an ad the more
results you can obtain. Usually in
the papers you see for sale for SALE
but originality is lacking.
TT would be better to say go to
-. or something else-something Or
iginal. Oaughter).
'Take it here in town. One thing I
think is lacking outside of character
and something striking, and that IS
too little description
The question is asked how am
to become enthusiastic over selling a
home. 1 must. look at the property
know it is good-know its good and
bad poiutS-and then be honest in ad-
vertfsing it. There is nothing like
getting the confidence of the people.
Il don't believe in bargain sales. To
Illustrate: Mr.. Jones says certain pro
perty was $500 but now 1t is $2,5OO 1
believe that is poor advertising.
THE principal thing is enthusiasm
in advertising. You have to be full
of your proposition no matter WneIn-
er it is real estate or dry goods.
II have often wondered how man
sells property by putting in little one
inch ads-one among a thousand. l
would use more display ads and less
classified stun.
Tell the people what you have sold
and to whom you have sold it. Show
that YOU are a live wire-a man who
is doing things. OF course it takes
money to advertise and man must be
doing a big business. You must simply
drive your point. and that IS enthus-
iasm."
Mr.. w. Stephenson then made a few
remarks. emphasizing the fact that IN
advertising real estate. dealers often
overestimate their property, and he as
serted that the only thing that will
keep up a successful business Is adVer-
Using.
Mr. Tom McNeaI made a witty little
speech giving the real estate dealers
present a little dig in humorous man
ner.
The. president, Mr.. W. E. Rankin, was
authorized to appoint seven delegates
to the national convention to be held in
Louisville KY. the latter part of Aug
ust The following club members have
expressed a desire to attend the con-
vkntion and will undoubtedly be chosen
among those to represent the club:
r. v Hicks, w. B. Flowers, Frank P.
MacLennan, VIM. Temple, and 5. l..
Courtney.
Mr.. E. G. Hughes. of the Information

ted as a member of the club.

Henry Osterman Suffering From Pecu-
liar AiIment at Christ's Hospital

Henry Osterman, a transient using
freight trains as means of travel, lies
at Christ hospital near TO death from
an enlarged pancreas- He has been
delirious since being taken up here
and no one has been able to learn of

as a vagrant by Patrollan Wyatt at
the Rock Island depot after he had
caught a wrong freight and gone tow
ard St. Joe instead of Denver and
was brought into town by farmers from
near EImont where. he had dropped of

from what he thought stomach trou-
bic and instead of being locked in the
prison was taken TO the Provident As
sociation and thence to the hospital
on the way to the association building.

was impossible to learn of his people.
