Favors Civic Center.

Frank L. Baker, of the Seattle firm
of Blackwell e Baker, architects, has
been visiting Howard e. Gray for a.
few days. Mr.. Gray has business
connections with the Seattle firm.
Mr. Bakers partner, James E.
Blackwell, IS leader in the Civic
Center movement in Seattle and be
thinks that similar club should be
formed in Wenatchee before the
chance is past. A study of the map
of Wenatchee shows that the city
park is the logical place for a civic
center here, and from an architects
point of view the city park affords an
opening for a civic center here that
is too valuable to be passed by. The
matter has been thought of by local
property holders but no steps have
been taken yet to start a civic center
club here.

COAST Is BUYING LAND
1t Is Said That Proposed Railroad
on East Side of River Has Pur-
chased Gensinger Tract for Town
site Purposes, Paying for 1t the
Sum of $4,000

1t was given out yesterday that
Mrs. D. L. Gensinger, of East Wenat-
chez, had sold eighty acres of land
just above the East Wenatchee town.
site for 1000 in cash, to some par
ties from Seattle. The papers were
being made out yesterday, the sale
having been arranged by H. G. Bet
ty. The report of the sale comes
from w. Slabaugh, the son-in-law of
Mrs. Gensinger.
The land was purchased by the late
Mr.. Gensinger about three years ago
for $4,000 from the original home
steader, who had held the land about
five years. AS the land has been used
only for raising wheat and corn and
is not watered and has not been i'm
proved within the last three years,
the investment was a good one for
the Gensingers.
AS the sale was for cash and for
other obvious reasons 1t is rumored
that the tract was purchased for the
projected North Coast Railway COM
pany, and that the tract will be laid
out for a townsite.

IRRIGATION SEASON
OPENING
CURRENT PUMPS AND GASOLINE,
STEAM, ARMSTRONG, ELECTRI-
CAL-EVERY KIND OF POWER
PUMP MEN BUSY.

With the opening of the coming
season appears an unprecedented de.
mand for pumps and power. Never
before in the history of irrigation
has the demand for water at high
levels been so insistent.
The big pump companies are send
ing agents to spend the summer here
and with the demand for cheapest
power comes many current motors.
E. D. Cosper, representing the
Fairbanks-Morse company has made
his headquarters with the Bliss Elec-
trio company at % Wenatchee ave-
nue. and will soon have some exhi-
bition machinery set up there. He
will also keep stock of pumps and
engines in some storage room and
is expecting to fit out many places
during the season.
Mr.. Cosper stated to the World
that he is installing two outfits now,
one up at Orondo, and the other
about four miles down the river for
j. NJ. Rezek.
He has other orders to fill as soon
as he can give his time to them, but
is not ready to give the names Of
contracting parties for publication.
The price of power irrigation is
getting lower all the time and In
stallations can be had now at cost
Of about $50 an acre for elevations
up to $50 feet. The cost OF gasoline
and other expenses incident to over
irrigations is about So or $3.50 a
year.

Police Court Is Active Again.

Since the vacation INDUCED in by
the police court during the month o.
January, in which only two cases
were brought in, there are again some
signs of activity. Yesterday a Johr
Doe was brought in for drunkenness
and another one was arraigned up.
on like charge today. When ques
toned some time ago the Chief o.
Police said that before the city went
dry" there used to be a case in
the court almost every morning and
that sometimes they had had as many
as 80 cases in the police court in
one month.
Those arrested yesterday and to.
day on the charge of drunkenness
claim that they procured their sooth.
ing doses out of town.

Cannon Ball Fell on His Head.

A program of unusual merit is on
the boards at the Wenatchee theatre
this week. Phil La Toska did can
non ball stunt that thrilled the au-
dience to the screaming point. When
the curtain fell the appliance trans
cended anything tho theatre ever
heard. The audience made all the
noise it was able to make.
Voerg's musical act was another
good one, and while 1t did not get
as much applause as the other one
did. it was worth the price Of adj
mission by itself.

Paid Penalty for Fast Driving.

Victor Fly ana Harry Morley, both
of Cashmere, were in the city yester-
day on the solicitation of the police
officers. These young men on last
Saturday night drove down the river
to attend a dance. They were speed
ing up considerably and ran into a
rig driven by Owens, painter of
this city. The Owens rig was over
thrown and both himself and the
young lady accompanying him were
violently thrown to the ground. The
rig was also considerably demol-
ished. Owens secured warrants for
the young men but they begged so
hard that after paying the costs as
a result of the demolished rig, the
young men were turned loose.

ESTABLISH NEW NAVIGATION HEAD
Steamer Yakima Today Reached
the Head of Box Canyon and the
River Is Now Clear to That Point
for the Steamers of Larger Ton
nage--.Regular Service Promised

The water stage for the last ten
days has made it possible for the
Columbia river improvement steamer
Yakima to engage in the work of
clearing out the upper river and to-
day the valiant little steamer, under
the captaincy of Fred McDermott,
reached the head of Box Canyon.
She has been shooting out rocks
in places along the canyon. There
7 is easy passage through the canyon
and the boat has established a new
head of navigation. 1t has been i'm
possible to run any but small steam
ers at this low stage. A large num-
Der of settlers followed the steamer
along the shore and watched the pro-
gress with entire satisfaction. The
Yakima is the largest boat that has
ever assembled this part of the river
as the Instructions are farther apart
along the head of Box Canyon The
boats progress improving the river
is expected to be much more rapid
by opening Box Canyon Vast wheat
raising on the south and the mining
region on the north is made access
sible to transportation by Captain
McDermott
The river commission is meeting
greater success than was at first an
ticipated and the head of navigation
will this year be established farther
up the river than was last fall
thought possible and the state will
reap great reward as result of the
work of the commission.
The national work on the river is
also assisting in making navigable
the Columbia. During the past week
work has been in progress in getting
ready to blow out the big rocks near
Chelan Falls. This will do away
I with the very bad place in the river.

Many Inquiries Regarding Taxes.

Yesterday was the first day for
payment of 1909 taxes, and while the
collections were not heavy yet there
were great many inquiries as to
taxes. About $4,000 was paid in.
This is not considered heavy for the
business season, but a great many
people called at the office and made
inquiries as to the amount for which
they were liable this year. The
treasurer asks that the tax payers
assist the officeby bringing their tax
receipts for last year or complete
description of their property. This
way the office will not be required
to hunt up the descriptions and the
business may be facilitated greatly by
this help.
