WatervilIe Deposits Will Aggregate
$4,000, 900.

The deposits in the two banks at
Waterville aggregate close to $1,000
900. Considering the size Of the town

record as there is in the state, espec-
tally when it is known that the ag-
gregate is made up by many depos'
itors in a farming country. The Wa
terville Savings Bank was organized
six years ago and the following are
the officers: c. T. Hansen, president;
Geo Kincaid, vice president; Geo. P
Wiley, cashier; E. G. Carter, assistant

Two Brothers Joe, One Named Harry

H. L. Cohn, brother of Joe Cohn,
of the Spokane Indians, arrived last
night. He is a stakeholder in the
team and will train with the boys by
way of putting in the time. Mr..
Cohn has been practicing law in Spo-
kane but gives some of his attention
to baseball. He tells a story that
goes Wenatchee Twilight league one
better. When he was in Fairbanks
Alaska, a few years ago, as district
attorney, the baseball crowd pulled
off their games at midnight. The
Twilight leaguers thought they had
a stunt when they played at 9 p. m,
but the Fairbanks went them three
hours better.

Agent Baker, of the Great North
ern Express company, has received IN
structions from st. Paul discontinu-
ing the free delivery of express with
in the business district, this becom-
ing effective April 1. No special rea-
son is given for this announcement,
but after enjoying the benefits of 1t
it is not likely that the business men
of this city will accept the decision
of the express company without some
protest, and it is thought the discon'
uance will be only temporary.

INDIANS ENJOYING
HIGH LIFE
EGGS THREE FOR HALF A DOL
LAR - PICKLES FOR WATCH
CHARMS - CONDENSED MILK
FOR THE COUNTRY.

High life is what the Indians are
getting in Wenatchee. They are NOT
used to it and are surprising all the
natives by their groans. First they
groan about their acheing bones and
then they groan about the price of
eggs. Three eggs for so cents is the
prevailing rate. Wenatcheeites got
used to that and took to eating some
thing else. Likewise Wenatchee sees
no harm in drinking milk that bears
the Carnation brand Also as near
ly every Wenatcheeite has apples for
the market, it comes as a surprise
that anyone should object to paying
10 cents apiece for them. But In the
spacious lobby of the new Hotel Del
Mundo the Indians sit and think of
the good old days before they came
to Apple town., and realize that in
this land of irrigation two dollars are
made to go where but one dollar
went before.
There was no game today, but
there will be one tomorrow and an
other one Sunday. The lineup will
be the same as that mentioned in
Yesterdays issue for the game in
tended for today.
Yesterday the boys quit early in
the afternoon. They were too sore
for words or deeds and left the field
at o'clock Even then they might
have stayed out the day but several
of them tried to use the crooked bat,
and got so mixed they had to stop.
The crooked bat is something new
1t is crooked as dogs hind leg and
when the ball impacts upon it from
the starboard side it invariably sails
off to port on an extreme .obtuse an
gle. The bat was so erratic that il
was liable to spoil the batter, ami in
fact no one tried any more after us.

damages. His case came up fol-
hearing yesterday in the federal
court in Spokane. Triplett was
caught between two engines at Lea
venworth last December and had his
arm badly smashed while attempt
ing to couple the engines. He was
an engine hostler at that place. The

guilty Of contributory negligence in
asmuch as he went between the en-
gines, assuming a dangerous posi-
ton, and remaining therein without
notifying the engineer in charge OF
the train.

300. 600 COAL MINERS OUT
Great Struggle ON Between Miners and Operators in
the Bituminous Coal Mines of Central States
May Be Drawn Out For Weeks
/ Before Settlement Is Made

Indianapolis, Ind, April 1.-Cele-
brating today the anniversary of the
institution of the 8-hour day in the
mines of the country, 100000 btu
minous coal miners went on an en-
forced holiday of unknown duration
In many states the two years wage
contracts expired last night and the
miners quit the pits demanding new
contracts to provide wage increase
of 5.55 per cent per ton on screened
coal and an equivalent increase on
Run of mine" The coal adjust
ment difficulty may be matter of
weeks.
In the Brazil block coal district Of
Indiana operators conceded the wage
demand of the miners.
Columbus, O., April AL union
bituminous coal miners of Ohio, num-
bering about 100000, are out. Some
operators declared it will take weeks
to adjust the differences.
Kansas City, April practically
none of the $4,000 miners in the
southwestern interstate field reported
for work today. Operators say the
closing of the mines is not lockout,
as they are willing to continue the
contract made with the miners two
years ago. They say that the COM
petitive fuel in the shape of oil and
gas and the fact that coal is ship
ped into this district from Colorado,
and West Virginia non-union fields,
make it impossible for them to grant
the demands of the miners.
One operator said that should the
price of coal be raised to permit
meeting the demands of the miners
only gas and oil could be burned in
Kansas City and $500, 100000 in
vested in the mines of the south
western district would be idle and
useless.

TWENTY FARMERS WANTING
JOBS NEAR HOME-ARE RAIS-
ING GRAIN CROPS - WRITE
TO COMMERCIAL CLUB.

Raising wheat crops on the Quincy
fat is not sufficiently exciting for
twenty farmers living there. They
have all the crop they want and have
written to the commercial club al
Wenatchee for information regard
ing work. They do not want to &c
far from home and evidently main
tain a lasting faith in the future OF
the windy fiat.

in the labor supply here has prompt
ed them to look into the situation

reau as an adjunct to the club and
wants the farmers to keep him in
formed on the situation.

A leading nursery house sent to
Spokane for thirty men last week.
The request was even urgent, and
the instructions were to send any
men, even foreigners.

Clerks and other office men are
not greatly needed. The demand is
almost entirely for common labor
ers, men and teams, and men with
trades. Those three classes are safe
to come here with the assurance of
getting work.
