THIS SEEMS TO BE CORRECT
SITUATION-HAR LINE
FROM SPOKANE TO SEATTLE
ABSOLUTELY NECESSARY.

Spokane, Jan. 21.-The dark cloak
of secreck has been removed. 1.-The
Man of Mystery" is no longer a CO.
nundrum.
For months and months the people
of Spokane and the Inland Empire,
and of the whole northwest, for that
matter, have been tying themselves
into knots, figuratively speaking, in
their efforts to find out What is the
North Coast railroad?" who is be-
hind this man Robert E. Strahorn,
who has paid out millions for right of
way and terminal facilities, and still
hesitates to disclose his IDENTIFY" is
the question which these eager citi-
zens and newspapers have been ask
ing.
This man and the North Coast,
which is at this time endeavoring to
secure franchises in this city which
will ultimately be worth many mil
lions, are no longer enigmas.
He is the western representative
of the Hartman interests. The North
Coast railroad is being constructed
for the purpose of giving the o. R.
& N. company Puget sound connec-
tons from Walla Walla and Spokane.
This is the positive announcement
of men on the inside"
The construction of the North
Coast line as matter of railroad
strategy is absolutely necessary to
enable the Hartman lines to secure
its part of the hauling of grain from
the Palouse and Big Bend countries
to Seattle and Tacoma.
In addition to other facts at hand,
information is positive that many in
terviews have been held in Portland
between the Hartman representative
here and his counsel, and w. w. Cot.
ton of Portland, the general western
counsel of the o. r. & NJ, Union Pa
cific and other Hartman lines, a!
which the business of the Hartman
system as relating to the North Coas,
was considered.
The granting of the franchises
which are sought by Robert e. Stra.
horn, under the guise of the North
Coast, means that the two creates!
railroad interests of the world, the
Hill and the Hartman systems, are
striving for the trade of the capital
OF the Inland Empire.

GET ACQUAINTED
WITH BIG BEND
X. Nj. LEWIS ADVISES A CLOSER
BUSINESS RELATION WITH THE
PLATEAU.

The apathy shown by the bust
ness men of Wenatchee in allowing
the trade form that splendid Big Bend
territory to drift to Spokane and Sc
attic, can only be accounted for by
the presumption that they have all
the business they can attend to at
home" says Mr.. R. NJ. Lewis, who
has just returned from a seven days
trip to Mansfield and beyond in the
interest of the Wenatchee Business
College.
"Wenatchee is the logical poin.
from which goods should be shipped
wholesale to this great territory
reaching from here to the British
possessions. There never was a bet
ter opening for a wholesale business
than right here and now. This is all
a comparatively virgin country now
and Wenatchee should get in on the
ground floor. When you consider for
a moment, the fact that $50, 900 bush
els of wheat, of the 1909 crop, will
have been shipped from Mansfield
alone, to say nothing of the stacks
of wheat in sacks which may be seen
at every siding on the way up there
and this in country not half devel-
oped; if you have any vision at all
you can not help seeing the extra
ordinary prospects of development
For years the farmers of this dis
trict have been handicapped by want
of transportation. Formerly it took
from one to three days to haul load
of grain to market; now, by the ma
gic of railroad it is possible to haul
one to five loads to market in one
day. This Transformation in the cost
of production will bring thousands
of acres into cultivation which would
not have been thought of before. In
addition to this the farmers will have
more time to cultivate their crop pro-
perly and a vast amount of increase
may be looked for from the old acre
age, to say nothing of the new.
Mansfield has progressive class
Of citizens and it would be a good
idea for Wenatchee people to get well
acquainted with them for it is very
sure in many respects their interests
are identical. Every step in the
growth of Wenatchee must help the
Big Bend country as whole, and
everything that benefits the Big Bend
country must eventuate in gain tC
Wenatchee In the east the Big Bend
country has as great a reputation fol
its wheat as Wenatchee has for ap-
pies. Each district will bring thou
sands of people here and many OF
those brought here by the reputation
of the one will buy real estate in the
territory of tho other.
Let every man, and woman, too
of us put our hearts into our work
and help to build up right here in
North Central Washington, not only
the most prosperous community on
earth but a model one in everything
that makes life worth while"

Fire BOYS Met.

The fire boys met in the CONNER
cial club rooms last night after the
soldier boys adjourned, but the hour
was so late that they did not do very
much. There was some discussion
about an entertainment and SUBJ
committee was appointed to attend
to the matter, but nothing definite
enough for public announcement was
done.
The big bell is up in the new tower
and will soon be ready again for SER
vice. In the meantime an old bell
has been swung from temporary
frame and has been ready for duty
while the other was out of commits
sion.

bREESE--WEbbER
CO. ELECTS
ARRANGEMENTS FOR COMING
YEAR IN KEEPING WITH THE
GROWTH OF CITY-BUILDERS
HARDWARE IN ADVANCE.

At the annual election of officers
for the Breese- Weber Hardware Co.,
L. H. Breese was elected president;
A. c. Dallach, vice president; John
F. Weber, secretary and treasurer,
and r. H. Breese, A. C. Dallach, John
F. Weber ana J. F. Fort trustees.
Mr.. Breese, when seen this morning
by a World reporter, stated that the
firm is well satisfied with the past
business and expect the same patron
age in the future.
The company will increase it's stock
in some lines this year, especially in
builders hardware. Mr.. Breese re-
allies that the contemplated increase
in builders hardware goods will be
considerably in advance of the pres
ent demand but he has great faith
in the city's future and wants to have
everything that is necessary for the
city's coming needs. Architects and
big builders having expressed them
selves as being satisfied that the pub
lie will appreciate the advantages
that will be had and respond accord
ingly. Everything in the lines of fine
brass and bronze door-fittings that
formerly had to be imported from the
great cities will be carried by the
Breese- Weber company, so that GUS
toemrs will be able to select exactly
what they want instead of having to
choose from pictures and descrip-
tons.
Money in Stock; Less ON Books.
Some changes will be made in the
credit system that will operate to the
mutual advantage of firm and GUS
toner. The credit shut-off will not
be absolute, from 80 to 60 days be-
ing allowed responsible buyers, but
the policy of the company is going to
be to have its surplus money in stock
right on the shelves instead of doing
no good an the books. The result of
that method will be the more frequent
turning over of the money and the
consequent advantage to all con-
cerned.
The classification of the stock in
every detail will be looked after thor
oughly so that customers will not be
obliged to skip about the store I'M
necessarily when buying line OF
goods. The builders hardware will
all be located in one division of the
room and other lines will be given
places of their own. Some plans are
being formulated for the creation of
special. and separate builders hard
ware department, the only one in
North Central Washington, and IL
sufficient encouragement is forthcom-
ing the move will be made.
The company has been very care
full in the selection of its agencies and
has, by hard and painstaking atten-
ton to the matter, secured an envi-
able list to buy from.

GOOD
ROADS ASSO-
CATION
MEETING CALLED BY MAYOR
GELLATLY FOR SATURDAY,
FEB. IL, TO FORM AUXILIARY
TO STATE ORGANIZATION.

Mayor John A. Gellatly has issued
an invitation to the various munich
palities of Chelan county for a good
roads meeting to be held in this city
on Saturday, February 10. Some few
days ago Mr.. Gellatly was in receipt
of a letter from j. Frank Brown,
secretary of the State Good Roads
association, asking him to take the
initiative in organizing Chelan coun-
ty. Other counties throughout the
state are organizing for the purpose
Of securing better road legislation
and also for devising means for i'm
proving the roads of their own coun-
ties, and this is a matter in which
Chelan county is vitality interested.
At this initial meeting which will
be held in the new commercial club
rooms it is thought that delegates
can be secured from Chelan, Leaven-
worth, Cashmere, Malaga, Peshastin
and every locality in the county to
attend the good roads meeting which
is to be held in Aberdeen, February
% and "a. This state meeting prom
Uses to be one of the most interesting
ever held in this state. There are
many matters relating to state legis-
lation which will come up for discus
sion and it is likely that the legisla-
ture in it's road legislation during the
coming session will be influenced to
a considerable extent by this Aber-
deem meeting.
It is felt that it is up to the peo-
pie of Chelan county to get busy II
the county is going to participate in
the general distribution of state
funds in the highway improvements.
There is no county in the state where
land values are as high and yet
where poor roads so generally pre-
dominate and there is feeling all
over the county that this condition
should be remedied, but there Is no
unanimity as to how this should be
done and it is for the purpose of
considering such questions that the
meeting for February IL is called.
1t is necessary than an organization
be formed to outline a general good
roads policy for the county and there
has been considerable talk heretofore
regarding the advisability of bonding
Chelan county for good roads and it
is clearly within the province of an
organization of the Chelan county
good roads enthusiasts to intelligent
ly handle such question.
1t is desired that the commercial
clubs of the various towns in Chelan
county send delegates to this meet
ing which is to be held in the COM
mercial rooms and that all localities
not having business mems Organiza-
ton should be represented anyway.
It is also desired that delegates be
here from Entiat. Malaga, Monitor,
and in fact every locality in Chelan
county. Anyone interested in the
subject of good roads will be well
come and expected to participate In
the meeting.

To SEND PARTY To
ANTARCTIC SEAS
FISH COMMISSION CUTTER ALBA.
TROSS WILL TAKE EXPEDITION
TO INVESTIGATE SEAL AND
SEA ELEPHANT.

Washington, Jan. 21.-Uncle Sam
Is preparing to send an exploring
party to the vicinity of the south pole
in the interest of economic and scien-
tific work and under the auspices of
the United States fish commission.
The cutter Albatross will carry the
party. 1t was suggested by Henry F.
Osborn, president of the American
Museum of Natural History at New
York.
To Investigate Seal.
Mr.. Osborn says he recently has
received confidential information
from one who has just returned from
the antarctic that there still remain
on certain remote islands herds of
southern fur seal in such numbers
as to promise commercial import
ance. The definite location of these
herds, the general distribution of the
species and the approximate number
become desirable, he says, as records
for future years past whaling in
dustry has developed in the south
rivaling the industry OF the north.
There are at least four distinct spe-
cies of whales inhabiting the Ant
arctic. In certain localities they are
exceedingly abundant.
Sea Elephants in Regions.
Mr.. Osborn says that he Is credibly
informed that large numbers of sea
elephants also exist in considerable
numbers in the antarctic waters.
Men of science, the letter adds. de-
sire definite information in regard to
the question of the sea bottom. the
life of the ocean abysses and the dis
tribution of land masses in the south
ern Atlantic.

In reference to the banks, each
bank is assessed for the amount of
it's capital stock and from this the
assessed value of the real estate is
deducted, so that in other words the
more real estate bank owns the less
the records will show is paid on the
capital stock This is certainly JUS
tice to the banks. For instance the
Columbia Valley baOk has capital
stock of 100000 and owns real es-
tate whose assessed value is $50, 900.
II therefore pays taxes to the amount
of only $105 on its capital stock
While some of the banks with a
smaller capital having little If any
real estate are paying more taxes on
their capital stock and but little on
real estate.
