LODGE FORMED
Big Delegation From We
natchee Visits Neighbors
for a Night.

Fifty knights of Pythias from We
natchee went up to Leavenworth yes
terday and spent the entire night
initiating class of charter members
for a new branch of the lodge in that
city.
Most of the party arrived on train
number 43, which was late and did
not reach destination until after
nine o'clock. However, everything
was in readiness and initiatory work
began at once. 1t continued rapid
ly until midnight, when a banquet of
good things was served. Labors had
been so strenuous that hearty appe-
tites made big inroads upon the
bounteous repast.
The goat was again ,trotted out af-
ter the inner man had been refresh
ed and the last man took his ride
only a short time before the early
morning train whistled. Thirteen
were initiated and ten old
members put their names to the new
roster, making a roll call of twenty
three members for the new lodge,
That the 'skiddoo" number is indi-
cative only of the hustle which will
characterize the members may be in
ferred from the fact that already six
teen more new members are pledged
to join after Jan. 1st.
The visiting contingent cannot say
enough in praise of the hospitable
treatment received while in Leaven-
worth A reception committee met
every train and made every man feel
royal welcome to the town.
Following was the list of Wenat-
chez knights who wene to Leaven-
worth and assisted in the initiation

wheel of McCari's buggy and wreck

The runaways then tore down Or

into ladder sticking out from the

whose horse was tied to the post on
the First National Bank corner.
This collision overturned the run
away wagon and team, the entire
outfit alighting in the mud in the
middle of the street. Bystanders
soon had the Frightened animals dis
engaged from the tangle OF harness,
groceries and wagon. Fortunately
it was found that little damage had
been done.

agreement between the contractors
on several state aid roads in Spokane
county and the highway commission
ers was threshed out in hearing

ing present: August Use and c. E.

EXCITING RUNAWAY
Delivery Team of OTondo Grocery in
Sensational But Harmless Run.

A delivery wagon hitched to a
team of cayuses came near causing
considerable damage in a runaway
late yesterday afternoon. The horses
were hitched to a weight and were
standing in front of the Mission

provocation so far as numerous by
ISLANDERS could see, the animals
sprang forward, dragging the heavy
weight, whirled about, nearly over

STRIKE NOT SETTLED
Recognize in Any Way the
Workers Union.

! Chicago. Dec. THE refusal of
the clothiers and tailors' organiza-
ton TO negotiate with the garment
workers representatives toward end
ing the strike today destroyed the
hopes of Mayor Busse and his alder
manic committee of strike-settlers
that peace was in sight.
The future of the strike is uncer-
tain. especially since Chief of Police
Stewart has granted a permit to the
strikers to parade, $4,000 strong. to-
m orrow.
Representatives of the employers
association said their refusal to
treat with the workers was due to
the determination that the union
should not be recognized in any way.

METHOV IN FAVOR
Of DIVISION
Would Set Up by Itself as a
County Apart From
Okanogan.

Twisp, Wash, Dec. County di-
vision, especially regarding the Met
how valley, is becoming live issue
here and plans are on foot for the
forming of an organization whose
business it shall be to petition the
next legislature to cut off the Met
how country from the present Okla
hogan county.
A meeting was held at the local
opera house preliminary to starting
the organization and the step met
with the hearty approval of all pres
ent.
Probable Boundaries.
Just what part of the Methow will
be included in the new county to be
asked for has not been definitely set
tied upon as yet, but it is believed
that when the matter has again been
fully and carefully discussed it will
be decided to divide on the water
sheds, using the summit of the noun
tains between the Okanogan and
Methow valleys as the dividing line
The question of county division
was squarely put up to the people in
attendance at the meeting and the
sentiment expressed was overwhelm-
ing in favor of division.
'MethoW" Favored for Name.
Another matter which was dis
cussed was name for the new
county, and "Methow' was decided
upon. 1t was pointed out that Met
how county would have an assessed
valuation of about S1,600,0O0. and
a population of nearly 5000 people
Some argued that the population wa:
too small and that the Methow
should not be set off from Okanogan
county at the present time. as the
burden of taxation would be more
than they could bear. The weight
of opinion seemed to be that this
would not be the case.

TRACTORS
GIVEN SOME
SA[VE
Council Found Penalty I'm
posed by City Was
Too High.

Contractor Thomas McKivor, of
the old firm or Allen & McKivor, who
had the contract for the improve
ment of Wenatchee avenue and King
and Palouse streets, appeared before
the city council last night seeking
to secure a rebate of the $1210,
which the firm was penalized for not
finishing the contract on these streets
within the contract time. He also
sought to secure payment of S29S.
which was withheld for replacing
the curbing on North Wenatchee av-
partment store. This curbing sunk
below the sidewalk grade, due to the
sinking of an old sewer trench. This
was ordered raised by the city engi-
neer as extra work. The council last
night refused the request for pay
ment asked by Mr.. McKivor with the
exception of $210 on Wenatchee ave-
nue., and the payment of the curb
ing, s29S
Another Meeting to Study Lighting.
The council last night instructed
the lighting committee to secure data
on city lighting and within a week
to call a meeting of the city coun-
ell to consider the contract asked
for by the Wenatchee Gas & Electric
company. The old contract expires
the end of this year.
Improvement of Okanogan Avenue.
The ordinance providing for the
improvement of Okanogan avenue
was passed a slight change was
made in the specifications. The
original specifications called for a
twenty-foot parking strip, the side
walk to be located in the middle of
this strip. The change provided for
the sidewalk to be within eighteen
inches of the curb line, leaving the
parking strip between the sidewalk
and the property line. The cost of
this improvement runs from $3.50
to s6712 for each fifty foot lot.
The assessment roll which has
been on file with the city clerk for
the past ten DAYS was approved. r.
NJ. Fiske was given the right by the
city council to make a connection
with the city sewer.
New Ordinances.
Two new ordinances we're intro
duced last night. one of them bein z
an amendment to the liquor license.
The new ordinance makes special
provisions by which the city can
prosecute for violation of the local
option law Under the present law
the state only has the right to prose-
cute and as result has right to
all of the fees. The other ordinance
relates to the handling of explosives
within the corporate limits.
The finance committee was in
structed to prepare a new salary
schedule which will be submitted at
the next meeting of the council.

POLITICAL SITUATION
IN IOWA DISCUSSED
Senators Dolliver and Cummins
Confer Regarding Recent Meet
ing at Des Moines.

Senators Cummins and Dolliver wer.
In conference for more than an hour
yesterday relative to the political situa-
tion in Iowa as affected by the recent
Des Moines conference of administration
republicans.
The announced purpose OF the Des
Moines meeting was to arrange a cam.
paign In the interest Of the admins
tration. The Iowa senators interpret this
to mean that there is to be systematic
effort to discredit them in the state, and
especially before the next state republi-
can convention. which will be held some
time during the summer
They understand that from this time
forth the state is to be canvassed with
the end in view of nominating delegates
to the convention who will be willing to
censure them for their course in the
Senate.
They have antagonized the adininistra-
ton not only on the tariff, but the
postal savings bank bill, and their course
has been disapproved by some of their
constituents.
Senator Cummins after his talk with his
colleague. I'VE cannot, of course, leave
our duties here for the present, but we do
not debut that our friends will take care
of our interests. OF course. we depre-
cate the effect OF the conflict upon the
party; but, SO far as our personal in
terests are concerned, we could have hop
ed for nothing better, as it will give us
an opportunity to make fight and to
show why we have pursued the course
we have pursued in Washington. We do
not fear the result"
