TOO GOOD TO DE TRUE. !!

Some traveller has dubbed the Pan-
ANA Canal the eighth wonder OF the
world. and IS journeying about with a
lantern and slides telling the people
all about It. The man doubtless thinks
he Is right. The canal is or Will be
a tremendous work. 1t crosses arough
country and pierces steep hills. It
has already cost the American public
q great deal OF money. and 1t has cost
some statesmen great deal OF worry.
On the strength OF this we should have
been perfectly willing to accept the
Travellers tale, ana should hereafter
have referred to the canal as the.
eighth wonder, but for IN item in the

That may be; but we prefer to think
that Mr. Noel was really trying to
do as nearly as he could what. In
his opinion, would be tho best thing
for the State for him to do. He made
a sad mistake. was entirely wrong in
his view in this matter (the Catawba
purchase), but it would DO a hard
thing to say that he was influenced
only by political and partisan con-
alterations. He failed utterly to es-
tabltsh his position, and that ought
to be disappointment enough for him
without suggesting that he was con-
tro1led by unworthy motives.

They are shouting treason; so did

II believe that there would be a
great, big mistake made should the
state highway commission consent to
the change of the state road from the
west side of the Columbia river to
the east side, as contemplated" said
W. A. Sanders this morning. II
know that it would mean additional
expense to the railway to build the
railway and wagon road around some
of the points on account of the pro-
1ecting bluffs which extend entirely
down to the river, but I do not see
that it is up to the county to give
away road which would take at
least $4,000 to build simply for the
accommodation of the railway COM
pany. 1t is absolutely necessary that
the people living up the Columbia
river have road facilities. There is
getting to be quite settlement all
the way up the Columbia river and
it would not be right that these peo-
pie should have to depend altogether
on ferries In order to get down to
Wenatchee to do their trading. In
asmuch as there has, of necessity, to
be a road, / believe that the state
highway commission should insist
that the state highway be kept on
this side of the river as at present.

educational campaign will be con-
Quoted in cooperation with the
Washington State Association for the
Prevention and Relief of Tuberculo-

The place of exhibition will be the

The exhibit will consist of mottos
stating briefly the salient facts about
tuberculosis; of charts and diagrams
showing its prevalence in various To-
calities; of pictures, hospitals, sana-
toria, home appliances, dispensaries,
open-air institutions, and specimens
Of sanitary appliances which are used
in the treatment of this disease. All
of which give an idea of the means
by which a patient is given proper
care and at the same time prevented
from becoming source of danger
to others.
Among the most striking mottos
are the following: "One-thfrd of all
deaths in people dying between the
ages of fifteen and forty-five are due
to tuberculosis Another: Take

right time until he is well and not
in the wrong place, the wrong way
and at the wrong time until he is

Besides the matter of illustrating
tuberculosis problems there are
other pictures and diagrams illus
trating the prevalence and means of
controlling other common diseases,
as typhoid, smallpox, scarlet fever,
diphtheria, and views illustrating
proper methods of sewage and gar
bage disposal.
During the campaign, meetings will
be held every evening at which
prominent local physicians and cler-
gymen, teachers, labor leaders, law
yers and business men will be called
upon to give their views upon the
problem. All the school children in
the city who are sufficiently advanced
to comprehend the exhibit will at

ers, and at every meeting views will
be shown and explained by various
speakers.

inspector and manager of the exhi-
BIT, will be in constant attendance
and will demonstrate the exhibit and
answer any inquiries.

Of this unusual opportunity to be-
come informed on this subject, which
is a matter of the greatest possible
concern to our whole community.

OPPOSE CHANGE Of
jP-RIVER HIGHWAY
Ex-County Commissioner w. A. San
ders Echoes Sentiment of Up-River
Residents Regarding Locating State
Highway on East Side of the River.

With the facilities that the railway
company has for making roadbeds 1t
is not going to be a serious matter
for the company to cut out wide
enough base for a railway grade as
well as a road, and / do not believe
that it is up to this county to give
away to the railway company a road
which would cost at least $4,000
simply as an accommodation to the
railway company. If this corpora
ton desires to build up the Columbia
river it will build, irrespective of
whether or not the state or county
gives them this road"
The question of changing state
road No. 10 leading up the Columbia
river to the east side of the river
is causing considerable comment. The
residents of the west side naturally
would fight all change in this road
as it would seriously inconvenience
a great many of them. 1t is under
stood that J. c. Lawrence, state rail-
way commissioner, who was in the
city last week, expressed himself that
in the dealings in the past of this
nature the state did not get salts
factory results and it is likely that
there will not be any change of this
character.

$4,000 IMPROVEMENTS
FOR WENATCHEE AVENUE
Effort Initiated at the Commercial Club
MONDAY Luncheon to Secure State
Aid Money for Making an Asphalt
Macadam Highway North of City

An important matter was initiated
at the MONDAY luncheon of the COM
mercial club, having for its object the
making of a perfect highway from
the city limits north to the Wenat-
chez avenue bridge. This was the
result of visit here last Sunday Of
Division Engineer Butler, of the
state highway commission. In COM
pany with Engineer Ward, Mr.. But
Ter drove over North Wenatchee ave-
nue. and he stated that the highway
commission would expend $4,000 on
that portion of the road, providing
the county commissioners or property
owners on the avenue would take the
initiative and petition the board. The
money to be expended is state aid
money, and it necessitates the county,
or county and property owners abut-
ting expending like amount.
The county commissioners can take
the Initiative and petition the state
highway commission to make the i'm
provement and in this method the
county must share the burden alike
with the state. In case the commits
sioners do not take the initiative the
property owners can petition the COM
missioners, asking that the work be
done, and in this method the prop
erty owners must pay Is per cent OF
the expenses, the county IS per cent
and the state SO per cent.
- The plan as proposed calls for an
asphalt macadam road, and the plan
also contemplates the raising of the
grade at the north end possibly the
raising of the Wenatchee river bridge
so as to make an overhead crossing
over the railway track.
A committee consisting of j. r.
Taylor, ]. A. Seaman and Arthur
Gum was appointed by Chairman
King to take this matter in charge

this improvement at once. The en-
| gineer's estimate calls for about $40,
| 600 and it would make one of the
most perfect highways in the state.
Reduction in Freight Rates.
| President King called the atten
| ton of the club to the fact that the
railroad company has made a reduc
ton in freight rates on paving bricl
from Is cents per 100 pounds to
| cents. This matter was called tt
| the attention of the club by N. w
Ball on receipt of letter from thu

There is getting to be considerable
