HILL CONSIDERING.
CONSOLIDATION
Will Follow Example OF
Hartman Lines Oregon
Trunk to Be Extended.

Portland, Ore, Dec. 16.-James ]
Hill, chairman of the board of direc-
tors of the Great Northern railroad
company, who arrived here late yes
terday, announced that it was his be-
lief that eventually all the roads
radiating from Portland controlled
by the Hill interests would be con-
solidated into one company similar
to that formed by the Hartman rail-
roads a few days ago.
Mr.. Hill also stated that it was
his intention TO extend the Oregon
Trunk Line railroad beyond Bend,
Oregon, just as fast as the develop
ment of the country warrants, and
that the United Railways, an cleo
trio suburban line running north and
west from Portland, will be pushed
right through to Tillamook bay.
An independent depot for the Hill
roads, of pretentious architecture,
will probably be erected in Portland.

RAILROADERS UGLY
Sheriff Brought Five Troublesome
Foreigners from Merritt.

Sheriff Ferguson brought five rail-
road laborers down from Merritt
yesterday. He had been summoned
there by one of the men on the in
formation that a robbery had been
committed. Arriving he found five
men very much under the influence
of liquor.
On investigation he learned that
the Bulgarian, Wasso Steanno, had
secured large shipment of bad
whiskey from st. Louis. This he had
been selling to the other men at 81
per quart. When the rotten rum
began to work, one of the Russians
Julius Sorenson, became possessed
of the idea that Steanno had robbed
him. When the sheriff refused to
arrest because of insufficient evil
dence, Sorenson became enraged and
cursed the law as being useless.
Whipping out gun, he threatened
to take justice into his own hands
by going over TO Steanno's tent AMI
blowing the fellows brains out.
This decided the Official to bring
the whole bunch to Wenatchee where
he could get to the bottom of the
trouble. He took Sorensons gun
away from him, as well as another
similar weapon.
The party included three Russians.
one of which claims to have been a
captain in the Russian army, one
Bulgarian and one Finlander.

KEEP IN TOUCH WITH THE EAST

One OF the best ways in which to
make known the resources and ad-
vantages of North Central Washing
ton is for people who have come
from other states to send local news
papers and other literature to for
mer acquaintance. A recent exam
ination OF the registration books in
the city clerks office has shown that
there are but fourteen voters who
were born in Washington. While
there are a few Wenatchee voters
who are natives of almost every
state in the Union, yet the largest
proportion of them come from COM
paratively few states. While the
tendency of population is to move on
parallel lines, as far as Wenatchee
is concerned, this does not hold
Such states as Iowa, Ohio. Indiana
and Illinois are represented in larger
numbers than Wisconsin, Michigan,
Minnesota or the Dakotas..
1t will doubtless be found, in TAX
ing the North Central Washington
district as a whole, that the units OF
population have been built up
through the efforts of those who
made settlement, first to induce
their former friends to come among
them. Take for instance, the former
residents Of Ohio who now live in
the Wenatchee and Upper Columbia
valleys. Outside the city of Wenat-
chez, there are perhaps more Ohio
people living here than from any
other state. The earlier Ohio set
tiers have been untiring in their eff
forts to make the advantages of
their new home known to their east
ern friends. The same thing is true
OF former residents of other states
which lead in the relative number
OF population. It is evident that the
best way to augment the population
of this district, is for those now liv-
ing here to keep in close touch with
their friends in their former homes
by sending an occasional box of ap-
pies, local newspapers, and literature
which is published from time to
time.

LIKED THE FRYING PANS.
indians Found an Exciting Use For tn
Cooking Utensils.

| Indians Found an Exciting Use For the
Cooking Utensils.
The Indian, however averse he may
be to any kind of useful labor. is not
slow to avail himself of a new source
of amusement. This was shown some
years ago when among the supplies
sent by the government to a certain
agency in the west were several hun
dred large frying pans with long han
dies
These the Indian agent found in
stock when he took possession. and at
| the end of the year the number had
| not been diminished. Thinking that
perhaps he had not discharged his
| whole duty in the matter of supplying
Uncle Sans wards with these culinary
utensils, the agent began making spe-
cial efforts to induce the red men to
use them.
At first it was hard work, but by the
time he had given out about two dozen
there came sudden change. Not
day passed in which the agent did not
have applications for at least dozen.
| and some days he disposed of twice
| that number.
When the supply was nearly ex-
hauSted he noticed among the appli-
| cants some to whom he had previous
| ly given pans. and naturally enough he
| became a trife curious to know what
| use they We're making of them. He
| questioned several Of the men to no
| purpose, but at length young buck
more communicative than the rest gave
him to understand that if he would
visit certain part OF the reservation
not far away he would find his in
| quiry answered.
| The next day, therefore, the agent
rode out in the direction indicated.
! About two miles from the agency he
noticed on the crest Of narrow spur
Of the mountain three or four Indians
who suddenly disappeared on the OPP
| posite side Of the ridge. At the same
time he heard family the cry Of many
| voices.
! On turning the point of the ridge he
saw q crowd of several hundred In
| dams who were shouting as l. greatly
excited. He noticed also several OBJ
| jects. which he at first supposed to be
| powders, descending the side of the
mountain toward them with tremen-
| dous rapidity.
Instead Of fleeing from these moving
| objects the Indians simply applauded
| and shouted. Soon he saw other OBJ
| jects like the first descending, and in q
| short time the whole situation was
| plain to him.
Having selected long, smooth slope
| Of the mountain where there were no
| stones, the Indians had converted it
| into a sort of earthen toboggan slide
| and were utilizing the frying pans as
| toboggans Seating themselves in the
pans. they grasped the handles with
| both hands; then, crossing their legs
over their arms. they went spinning
down the slide with great rapidity.
| The agent let them have the few pans
| that remained in the storehouse, but
! did not order a new supply.-Harper
| Weekly.

AERE'S A GOOD CHILD STORY
One Which Comes From the Family Of
Boston Educator and Has
Unusual Originality.

Perhaps the most startling child
story eXtant, however, comes from the
family of famous Boston educator,
whose children all are distinguished
by an unusual degree OF originality.
Several boys and girls Of various ages
have been adopted into this family, so
the sudden appearance OF pew and
well-grown associates seems to the
younger members quite natural. This
rather unusual attitude toward family
growth worked out oddly a year or
two ago, upon the occasion of the
Christmas play, which the little ones
annually write, rehearse and produce.
quite without adult assistance. for
their parents.
The plot OF the play included the
financial redemption Of highly wor-
| thy couple-this being an extremely
cultured and sociologically learned
yet natural group of youngsters-by
! the good luck OF the husband, played
| by an eager urchin Of seven, In the
| gold fields of Alaska. The happy
bridegroom returned TO his weeping
bride OF a year in the nick OF time,
bearing with him a huge and heavy
bag OF gold. The bride. In neat
speech. revealed to him the poverty
stricken. hungry straits to which she
had been reduced, and warmly com
mended his skill and industry In gold

and modest air, she gently Informed

Write it down." said he to me- and
we were off.
We had only fair luck, the bass not
taking our casts of flies very greedily
1t was an off day, the guide assured
us, but that was unnecessary, for we
knew what river bass fishing was when
the fish were biting, so no explanations
were needed.
To tell the truth, our minds were
more on that Maine chowder than on
The San Francisco call., 1910-04-10

flies or fish, and it was this psychologi-
cal abstraction that cost US a heavy
fish or two.
Cant you smell it?' said the old
man. as we stepped on the landing
stage.
No said 1, but my imagination
is very active just now"
So we washed and spruced up and
sat down-to a plate, good large
plate. one of the old deep soup plates
of the olden days when soup was eaten
as food and not taken just to titi-
vate the stomach up to wanting fish
and other courses.
1t was fish chowder. perhaps, but it
had been made from partly grown pic
kerel. with bones as sharp and fine as
a colony of trichina spiralis. and the
most we did at that meal was to fish
for bones before daring to swallow
mouthful- We wanted to leave the
table in disgust, but the widow stood
over us and beamed upon us and fold
ed her arms well up on her rotund
figure and fairly scintillated with
pleasure.
