NEW FREIGHT ENGINES
No. 271o, First Of Series, Passes
Through Martinsburg Monday
Evening.
From The World OF Tuesday:

From The World OF Tuesday:
B. & o. engine No. 2710, the first
of new class of Is freight engines,
passed through this city yesterday
evening, westbound, drawing SO empty
coal cars or a weight of 1850 tons,
When the mammoth engine stopped
here to take water it attracted much
attention among the railroad men
about the station and all admired its
huge siZ e and symmetrical proper
tons, 1t was noticed that it is heav-
Ter than the $500 and 1900 class of
freight engines and that the hand
gear is all on the outside instead OF
the inside. The weight of No. 2709 is
20S,500 pounds and the new class up
to No 2725 will all be heavier than
that. After the water tank was filed
yesterday evening the big fellow
walked off with his load with the
greatest ease.
The new class of Is freight engines
that the Baltimore & Ohio Railroad is
having built will be used on his divi-
sion, the first of which is now in se"-
vice, as stated They are being built
by the Baldwin Locomotive Works,
Philadelphia. and the Richmond Loco
motive Works, Richmond, Va, and
will add very materially to the B. &
o. equipment. Their delivery will be
continued right along now and in a
very short time all will be in service.

FRITZ WAS DE-.
C[ARED NOT
GUILTY
JURY AFTER BEING OUT FROM
O'CLOCK LAST NIGHT UNTIL
NOON TODAY FOUND FOR THE
DEFENDANT.

The case of the state VS.. J. G. Fritz,
charged with an assault in an attempt
to commit felony, went to the jury
last night about o'clock and at noon
today a verdict of not guilty was rem
dered 1t is said that during the
night and considerable portion OF
the forenoon the jury stood to 8
for acquittal, finally dwindling down
to IL to 1 and just before noon the
verdict became unanimous.
Fritz is a Leavenworth saloon man
and was charged with shooting a
negro named Miller at his place of
business on November 4. A large
number of Leavenworth people were
present at the trial and it excited a
great deal of interest. Reeves &
Reeves represented the defendant
while the state was represented by
County Attorney Kemp.
The defendants based their case on
the fact that the negro was drunk
and was the aggressor in the dis
agreement.

RIVER READY FOR
SERVICE
AFTER A FEW WEEKS MORE
STEAMERS MAY TRAVERSE Co
LUMBIA RIVER $50 MILES
NORTH.

Captain Fred McDermott arrived
this morning from Kettle Falls with
his family. They left on the Mans
field train this afternoon and from
Mansfield they will drive by stage
to Bridgeport and then go TO Mason S
landing, where the steamer Yakima
is tied up for the winter. The fam
lily of Captain McDermott has been
at Kettle Falls since leaving here last
spring but will remain with the
captain on the boat until the spring
work opens up.
During the temporary layup of the
Yakima the crew of the steamer has
been at work at the head of Box
canyon above the ice jam and have
succeeded in doing a great deal OF
work there, notwithstanding the Sc
we're weather conditions. A number
of rocks along the shore and in the
eddies have been cleared away, sc
that the work at the head of Boz
canyon is now practically completed
The next big job above the canyon is
at White Cap rapids, but the captain
does not think it will require a great
while to do this work. When these
rapids are opened continuous naviga-
ton will be practical to the mouth o!
the San Poll. The mouth of the San
Poll is about $50 miles north of We.
natchee. This will give an outlet tc
all the ores of the we'll known Kel.
Ter camp, Nespelum and intermediate
points Besides this there will be
considerable grain tonnage. 1t Ii
understood that steamboat service tC
these points will be inaugurated next
spring.

AS an illustration of the way prop

sale in which he had been connected.
Three years ago in April he purchased
from Spokane men the 10-acre tract,
five acres of which was purchased
last Saturday by H. NJ. Winslow for
$1,000. Mr.. Russell paid $1,000 for
the 10 acres in May. In June he sold
the 10 acres to Butte men for $500.
Last year the land passed to the
ownership of Philip H. Miller and this
man this winter sold five acres for
$1,000 and last Saturday sold the re-
naming five to H. NJ. Winslow for
81 900, disposing of the ten acres
for $17,500. This only three years

THE WRECK[R WAS
WRECKED
BLOCKADE ON THE GREAT NOR.
THERN CONTINUES-UNA
TO STATE WHEN TRAFFIC
WILL BE RESUMED.

The railway service on the Great
Northern has been still further de-
layed. All east bound trains, includ-
ing train No. or the 18th, have been
annulled on account of the snow and
landslides which have blockaded the
tracks west of Leavenworth. The
wrecking train that started out yes
terday to clear the tracks and to re-
mount the derailed train, was itself
wrecked, being ditched as it was on
its was to assist the other trains.
1t was stated this morning that it
was thought possible that the delay
ed trains would be able to get through
by noon. There was a good deal OF
uncertainty about this, however, as
during the night the slides were al
most continuous. When one place
was cleared another slide would oc-
cur and the track would be still fur
Their blocked. No. / was reported on
time, while No. 43 was reported five
hours late.
The first train to come through
from the west was No. %, which APP
peared at 2:15 p. m. This train was
tied up nineteen hours at Yelling
ton. The slide which caused the
delay was fifty feet long and about
twenty-five feet deep.

music, instrumental and vocal. Fol-
lowing the program light refresh
ments were served and the rest of the
evening was given over to a social

Horse Thought He Was Merry-G Go
ROund.

H. S. Keefer drove up to the World
Office this morning and attempted to
tie his white-eyed horse of the BuZ-
zard-head species to one of the Far
mers Telephone company's public
hitcning posts. The horse acted as
though he had been eating too much
bunch grass and refused to come
within several feet of the pole.
Whereupon, Mr.. Keefer, in an at
tempt to be master of the situation,
started to belabor the beast in the
neighborhood of the head Things
got exciting at once and the horse and
pole got into an alteration, going
arouid each other in a way that made
the bystanders dizzy. Finally the
pole got the best of it and caught the
horse an awful jolt in the nose Blood
flowed fast after than, but the horse
quoted down and Mr.. Keefer picked
up the pieces of his sleigh and moved
on.

account of not being able at first to
find enough men who would join
Quite a number had been intending
to join but did not say SO until a
definite move was made to give UP
the chance, when such strong pro-
test was made that Mayor Gellatly
wired to Olympia that the city want
ed to reconsider it's chance. In the
meantime Centralia had taken the
matter up and made an effort to get
the company. Up to the hour of 60

there is reason to think that Wenat-
chez will still be able to get the COM
pany.
Tomorrow night a meeting will be
held at the commercial club rooms
and if the order arrives from Olym.
pia in time the temporary officers
will be elected then. The commit.
tee having the work in charge is
anxious for a large attendance and
hopes that all who can will come

WANT CHANGE
IN STATE
ROAD
AND YAKIMA PEO-
PILE WILL MAKE AN EFFORT
TO DIVERT STATE ROAD FROM
WENATCHEE.

According to the Ellensburg Rec
ord there will be big delegation of
Ellensburg and Yakima people pres
ent at the state good roads meeting
at Aberdeen for the purpose of in
fiuencing legislation towards the d.
verting of the state road which was
originally laid out to pass through
this city The following is the arti-
Gle:
"A movement is on foot to have
tie state road from Seattle to Spo-
kane built down the Yakima river
from Gle Elum to Pasco instead of
crossing the Wenatchee mountains
into Wenatchee. To strengthen this
movement it is proposed to send a
big delegation from Kittitas, Yaki-
ma and Benton counties to the state
airy 20 and "a. The Kittitas county
commissioners, the county surveyor
and the representatives in the legis-
lature are among those who will rep
resent this county.
1t is also proposed to call meet
ing of Kittitas, Yakima and Benton
county people in Ellensburg some
time in the near future to organize
work for the location of this road.
THE route as authorized by the
last legislature starts east from Gle
Elum, over Peshastin summit and
down the Peshastin into the Wenat-
chez river valley and over the We
natchee bridge and then On into Spo-
kane. Engineers state that this
would be impractical six months of
the year as at that point where the
road crosses Peshastin summit the
elevation is 1000 feet, or enarly
1000 feet higher than that of Sno-
qualmie pass.
Moses NJ Emerson, county sur
veyor, says that he considers the
adoption of the latter route the
height of folly, and suggests more
feasible route to connect with the
present county road at Bristol and
follow the line of the old Middle
Kittitas Irrigation company ditch to
point where it intersects the coun-
ty road about a mile east of Dudley.
This would give a grade of about 80
inches to the mile and as $4,000
worth of work has already been
done on this canal line, the benefits
thereof would accrue to the pro-
posed road
Mr. Emerson states that the
county commissioners and he have
decided to attend the good roads con-
vention at Aberdeen and suggests
that meeting of all good roads adj
vocates in Kittitas, Yakima and Ben
ton counties be called for Ellensburg
some time in advance of the conven-
ton date. In this way the people of
the three counties could outline a
campaign for bringing the state road
down the Yakima river.
Representative ]. C. Hubbell
states that it is up to the people to
'-get busy and send a strong delega-
ton to the convention. He points
out that one of the strongest argu-
ments in favor of bringing the road
this way is that a road by this route
would be kept open throughout the
entire year, which would be impos-
sible by the other route.
supervisor A. NJ. Wright also
urges that large delegation go to
