CONCERT SUNDAY
NIGHT
SACRED CONCERT WITH PRESBY.
TERRAIN SERVICES-OTH TO
FOLLOW-PASTOR URGES LII
BRARY INTEREST.

A large and appreciative audience
was present at the Presbyterian
church last evening Notwithstanding
the inclemency Of the weather, to
listen to the sacred concert given by
the choir and its friends. Mr.. Os-
borne Williams, of Cashmere, gave
two numbers and his rendition called
forth unusually favorable comment
He possesses deep resonant voice
and this combined with clear enun-
citation Immediately won the sympa.
thies of his auditors. The local tai.
emit which participated did good
work as usual.
DR.. Stevenson stated this morning
that it is his intention to have these
sacred concerts given every few
weeks, believing that they are an eff
fective agency in sustaining interes,
in religious work, and at the same
time help to stimulate artistic ideals
At the close of the programme, DR.
Stevenson called attention to the
fact that the $1,000 Carnegie library
fund was now available and he urged
his congregation and the members
of the women's clubs of the city In
particular to interest themselves In
the movement to obtain a library
without further delay.

BURIED IN ICE AND SNOW
Storm in Cascades Blocks Traffic and 1t Will Be Days
Before the Line is Opened-Many Trains Are
Stalled but Passengers Not Undergoing
Any Very Great Hardships

Last Friday and Saturday there
seemed to be prospects of getting the
Great Northern line over the Cas-
cades open for traffic, but the thaw
of Saturday and the chinook and
rain of Sunday has seemingly hope
lessly blocked this line and it may
be a week before it is open for SER
vice. The chinook and rains loosen
ed the entire sides Of mountains and
mud and rocks came down onto the
tracks, where slides have never been
known before. Never in the history
of the road has there been such a
mass of debris on the tracks as at
this time. The indications point to
high water all over the Sound and
many of the rivers are already on a
rampage.
There is small slide between
Wenatchee and Monitor and the
track for quite distance is covered
with two to three feet of mud and
snow. The water is also reported to
be running over the track at Rock
Island, being fed by mountain
stream. A new slide was also re-
ported from above Leavenworth this
morning, extending 200 10 800 feet
and the track being covered with
from 6 to 10 feet of mud and rock.
All wagon roads leading into this
city Are flowing torrents and the
thaw of yesterday is the most extern
sive that has been known here for
several years.
Though information seems to be
very meagre as to the number of
trains that are stalled in the Cascades
yet it is believed that there are six
between Leavenworth and Scenic.
These trains have been there since
last Wednesday but it is not believed
that any of the passengers are I'M
dergoing any hardships as the wealth
er conditions are mild and there is
no shortage of provisions.

APPLE CULTURE At
CASHMERE
CASHMERE GROWERS ENTHUSI.
ASTIC ABOUT APPLE CULTURE
LARGE CROWD ATTENDS LEG.
TURES FRIDAY.

The number of Cashmere residents
who attended Professor Trumble's
horticultural lectures goes to show
that there is a greater horticultural
interest in that neighborhood than
there is here.
Last Friday, when Professor Trum-
BILE spoke in the Cashmere city hall,
there were $50 in the audience. He
has spoken there several times re-
Gently and has always had a large
crowd.
Friday night Professor Trumble
spoke on the four kinds of apple
aphis, principally about the woody
aphis. There has been a strong in
clination to get him to repeat the
horticultural lectures there that he
has just finished delivering at the
high school here, but he feels that
other interests will prevent him from
considering the proposition.
The course just finished at the
high school embodies about twenty
talks on horticultural subjects and
was attended by several persons who
did not live In Wenatchee, and who
came here for the express purpose OF
attending them.

PEACH growers
WORRIED
COLD SNAP OF PAST FEW DAYS
IN THE LOWER VALLEY MAY
HAVE RUINED CROP IN YAKI-
{MA AND TOPPENISH.

F<uit growers at Yakima and Top
penish are considerably worried over
the prospects of peach crop for this
year on account of the cold snap of
the past few days. A visitor from
North Yakima in this city yesterday
said that he held out little hope of
much of a peach crop. 'The balmy
weather of two weeks ago started
the buds" said the North Yakima
man, land am afraid that all those
started have been nipped by the cold
wave which visited us as severely as
it hit Ellensburg"
Orchardists here are not alarmed
over the condition of fruit trees for
the trees went into winter quarters
in good condition and there has been
no weather so far that has been in
any wise detrimental to them. Fruit
growers in Kittitas valley are look
ing forward to an exceptionally good
year.-Ellensburg Record.

Bring Snowslide Victims Here.


The bodies of John Olson and
Harry Ellerker, the two victims of
the snowslide in the Cascades last
Friday, are to be shipped to Wenat-
chez, where they will be turned over
to the Wenatchee Undertaking COM
pany. This step is taken at the ad-
vice of DR.. Saunders, the coroner of
Chelan county, and is the reply wired
at his request to j. H. O'Neal, the
superintendent of the Cascade divi-
sion of the Great Northern railway.
In response to the coroner's ques-
ton as to whether there had been
any eye witnesses to the killing OF
the two men, Mr.. O'Neal telegraphed
back the reply that there had been
none.
The men had been employed at the
eating house this side of the tunnel.
John Olson was the cook of the estab-
lishment and Harry Ellerker was the
dishwasher. The eating house in
which the men were at the time OF
the disaster was borne across the
tracks by the avalanche and was des-
troyed.
The bodies of the two men have
been recovered and have been buried
temporarily in the snow at the tun-
mel. They will be left there until
there is train service so that they
can be moved.

CRANE HUMMER
CD, WOULD
SELL
IRRIGATION MEET
ING AT BREWSTER YESTERDAY
CRANE-HUNNER INTERESTS
WILLING TO RELINQUISH.

The property holders under the
proposed Crane-Hunner ditch held an
important meeting at Brewster Fri
day, according to the schedule print
ed in a recent issue of the World.
S. G. Dudley, of Okanogan, and one
of the committeeman of the meet
ing, stated to the World today that
the meeting was an enthusiastic and
successful one in every respect. The
organization that was effected is
known as the Okanogan and Chelan
Counties Water Users association.
The purpose of the association is
to secure enough land under the pro-
posed ditch to insure the successful
raising of the necessary funds for
carrying through the project. The
sentiment of the water users is to
get water as soon as possible with
cost as the second object.
Messrs. Crane and Anderson, rep
reSent1ng the Crane-Hunner company,
were present and showed a DISPOSE
ton to further the water users plans
in every way that lay in the COM
pany's powers. Mr.. Crane offered to
float the bonds himself, at cost of
per cent for his services. He esti-
mates the cost to be about $4,000
600.
The Crane-Hunner company is will
ing to withdraw entirely from the
enterprise if the water users prefer
to take it over.
Thirty-gix thousand acres are un-
der the proposed ditch. The land
lies in four districts, known as the
south Methow, pateros, Brewster and
Har Heel districts.

START RAILROAD
WORK SOON
CONSTRUCTION DIFFICULTIES
ADJUSTED - WHAT STOPPED
WORK A MYSTERY.

The embargo upon railroad con-
struction across Indian allotments
in the Okanogan valley has been
raised through instructions received
by wire from Washington Monday,
and there is nothing to prevent
pushing on the grade work on the
Oroville-Wenatchee branch, barring
inclement weather. Saturday, Maj.
A. M. Anderson, right Of way man
for the Great Northern road, and
Clair Hunt, connected with the In
dian department in an official capa-
city, arrived in Oroville, and their
mission was to adjust the troubles
that led up to the orders prohibiting
further construction across the allot-
ments. Government officials in SUBJ
ordinate positions are not saying
much for publication nowadays.
If Mr.. Hunt knows who was res
ponsible for the orders suspending
work, or the why's or wherefores
that instigated the issuance of these
orders he religiously keeps the par
ticulars to himself, attending strictly
to business that he is employed to
carry out in conjunction with settling
any difficulties with the Indian land
owners that may have been dropped
out. On the other hand, Major An
ierson is just as reticent upon the
subject, being sufficiently satisfied
with the fact that all distractions
have been satisfactorily removed,
and nothing now stands in the way
of the contractors, so far as the al
lotments are concerned. His duty
is to find ways and means to secure
rights of way across private property,
and considering the trials and tribu-
lations that confronts the man who
goes up against human cupidity, and
Is compelled to play long and con-
stantly on cajolery, persuasion, coax
ing, and the last resort, threats OF
appeal to the law, settlement OF
tangle of this character is mat
ter of self-congratulation and great
mutual relief.

HOTEL FAk|RS N
THE CITY
IN ATTEMPT TO SELL UNNECES-
SARY SUPPLIES BY FRIGHT
ENING PROPRIETORS AS TO
LAW.

Hotel fakirs are abroad in Wenat-
chez and other sections of the state
They have done pretty well in other
sections of the state and are trying
their hand here. They are trying to
sell. various devices, particularly those
needed in fire protection, by fright
ening proprietors into the belief that
the state is after them. They pass
themselves off as inspectors, find
various defects on the premises. point
to an alleged clause which provides
a fine of 500 a day for every day
the house is without certain specified
articles and then like good business
men, take an order for the goods. 1t
is said that firm in that good town
of Walla Walla is furnishing some OF
the supplies needed.
Small Proprietors Suffer.
Small hotels and rooming houses
are those which suffer most because
as a rule they are in the hands of
people less posted on the state hotel
law and most easily frightened. The
law of the last legislature has not
been enforced as yet and according
to the state hotel inspector will not
be enforced before June 10 next, and
not then until every hotel and room
il house has been inspected and its
proprietor told what is needed and
given time to obtain it.
Gongs, bells. fire extinguishers, fire
escapes, light indicating fire escapes
and cards pointing the way to them
and all such things are among the
articles which the fakirs are at
tempting to sell. They pass them
selves off as state officials but are
in every instance unable to show
proper credentials. After brighten
ing the proprietor their work is easy
Warnings have been issued against
them from the office of the state in
speceor.

NEUTRALITY-SUSPICIOUS.
Snow and Ice Slides Swept Down From Mountain
Sides on Rich Occur d,Alene Towns, Carrying
Death to Many and Buryng Greater Portion
of Both the Little Hamlets

spokane, Feb. 28.-In swift sue
cession two terrible disasters have
carried death and dismay to the
mining towns of the rich Occur
d'Alene district, in north Idaho.
At 1890 last night a snow slide
swept down the mountain side, strik.
ing the little town of Mace, buryine
25 houses and their sleeping occu-
pants under a mass of snow, ice and
wreckage at the bottom of the can
yon.
At $3.50 this morning another slide
rushed down on the town of Burke
curshing score of houses under
thousands of tons of snow and ice.
Fourteen bodies have been recov.
cred from the ruins of Mace and 16
dead found at Burke, and how many
more are still buried can only be
guessed at. 1t is feared that from
60 to 70 have been lost.
Old-timers in the Occur dAlenes
have been sounding daily warning to
Mace, Burke and Black Ben that be-
cause of the recent depth of snow
slides were imminent. For 16 win
tiers these towns have escaped de-
vastation through slides, and sc
strong has been the confidence OF
the miner residents in the conviction
that their homes and families were
safe, that no precautions were taken
One thousand men from Wallace
and from Hercules, Hecla, Anchor
and other mines are On the scene
and special trains with doctors,
nurses and othe relief agencies are
on the way from Wallace. Some OF
the families of the miners at Burke
who responded to the appeal for aid
from Mace were buried in the slide
which swept down on Burke. AS
soon as the warning reached Burke
of the disaster at Mace, large num-
Der OF families sought places OF
shelter from possible disaster of a
similar nature and their fears and
precautions were warranted by de.
velopments
Because of the larger population
at Burke, about 900, the houses were
closer together and the loss will not
be greater at Mace.
The bodies of the following have
been recovered already at Mace:
I. H. Pascos, superintendent OF
the Standard mine; Ira HI. Pascos
son of Standard superintendent;
Eddie Pascos, Inez Pascos, Mrs. G.
Fernwell, Mrs. A. R. Leard, John
Fennell, Mrs. Edw. Kittrell, and two
children; - Thompson, section fore.
man o. r. e N, buried under car in
ten feet of water in the river.

jured: Mr.. and Mrs. c. Duncan, Mr.
and Mrs. Bert Barnett, Mr.. and Mrs
VIM. Brandem, Mrs. Abe Mitteril

Thirty-five Italians sleeping in an
outfit car of the Northern Pacific

Spokane, Feb. 2S.-There are all
the games so far scheduled for the
training season of the 1910 Indians.
Contrary to a report given some cir
culation in an evening paper, no
games have been arranged with the
University of Idaho, or any other
college team, and President Cohn
yesterday denied ever having seen
Coach Grogan of Idaho on the sub
ject, although an evening paper re-
ported a conference between the two
arranging the games.
Wenatchee in Earnest.
Sheriff Ferguson, of Wenatchee,
called at the baseball headquarters
yesterday morning and put in a
strong application for the Indians to
train there this spring. He told
President Cohn to tell him just what
was wanted in the way of baths,
rooms, meals and training field, and
declared he would satisfy the Indi-
ans magnate that Wenatchee could
better any proposition made by Lew
iston or Asotin "That's the liveliest
guy I've talked to in long time, -
said Mr. Cohn, after Sheriff Ferguson
had left.

Wenatchee to win out, as this is only
six miles from his fruit ranch near
Cashmere, just a nice jog some af-

morning run. He says that We
natchee has one of the biggest and
finest ball parks in the northwest

race track a few years ago for an
orchard tract, and then converted it
