a Monopoly.

Seattle, June 22.-In a territory
extending from Pendleton, Ore,
northward through the valley of the
Columbia river more than 100 miles,
with branches reaching westward to
he canyon OF the Naches river in
this state, the Electrict Bond &
Shares company, the financial suo-
corporation of the General Electric
company and allied interests OF New
York, has obtained control of every
large private hydro-electric power
enterprise, except the Burbank plant
near Pasco.
The Electric Bond & Shares COM
pany is the big financial institution
of the group of allied electric cor
porations controlled by J. P. Nor
gan and Standard Oil interests and
dubbed by former Forester Clifford
Pinchot the electric trust"
Confirming in all essential details
previous accounts of the merger of
gigantic electric and power inter-
ests, C. M. Maxwell, brother-in-law
of S. z. Mitchell, president of the
Electric Bond & Shares company,
this morning at the New Washing
ton gave further particulars of the
consolidation of the eastern Wash
ington corporations.
1--WE are now working out the de-
tails of the merger of the North
west Corporation, organized by l.
w. Anderson and controlling water
and electric power interests in the
Walla Walla country and in Pendle-
ton, and the electric power interests
of Robert E. Strahorn extending
from the Naches river to Pasco,''
said Mr.. Maxwell. 1.-The Northwest
Corporation owned the street rail-
way and lighting system of Walla
Walla and Pendleton and Mr. Stra-
horns project included power sta
ton which will be greatly augment
ed, located on the Naches river.
Means Practical Monopoly.
1--WE have now obtained practic-
ally all the large and attractive
power and light enterprises in that
part of the Inland Empire extending
from the Columbia river valley to
Pendleton, and westward to North
Yakima and the Naches river.
"In Spokane, the electric power
interests are controlled by corpora
tons friendly to General Electric
We shall not, however, undertake
to finance any of the power enter
prises of Mr.. Strahorn located on the
east bank of the Columbia river, at
Priest rapids. There is no chance
whatever of our absorbing that en-
terprise."

WENATCHEE GETS
$4,000
Senate Bill Makes Provision
for the Purchase of Site
for Public Building.

The public building bill was
amended by the senate committee
yesterday so as to authorize a $1O,-
900 appropriation for building site
at Wenatchee. The house commit
tee sought to punish Congressman
Poindexter by eliminating this pro-
vision from the house bill. Senator
Jones, however, had it reinstated in
the senate.
A telegram came today for Mayor
Gellatly from Senator Jones, con-
frming the Geographic report that
$4,000 had been appropriated for
the purchase of site for a federal
building. Chairman Bartholdt, of
the house committee, stated to an
Associated Press reporter that he
did not know how the Wenatchee
item was eliminated from the house
bill but it is attributed to Speaker
Cannon and his hatred for the con-
gresham of the Third district.

service was inaugurated today when
Count Zeppelin's great craft, the
Deutschland, carrying 90 passengers,
successfully made the first scheduled
trip from Friederichen to this city.
distance of three hundred miles, in
nine hours. The weather was per-
feet and the operation of the machine
faultless. The best speed for a single
hour was forty-three and one-half
miles. Count Zeppelin was at the
helm. The passengers were some of
the directors Of the Hamburg-Ameri-
can Steamship company and the Ger
man Airship Stock company, joint
owners of the dirigible, and guests,
The route was via Stuttgart, Mann
helm Cologne to Dusseldorf The
hour and minute of the probable
passage of the various points had
been bulletined ahead so that not on
ly the people of the cities on the line
filled the streets, but the inhabitants
of all intermediate villages turned
out and cheered enthusiastically as
the immense torpedo-like structure
drove over their heads at height of
between 200 and 800 feet. The
Deutschland was given tremendous
ovation when she reached her land
ing in this city. The town was gaily
decorated to honor the event The
promoters of the enterprise and

CASE EXC|TES IN
TEREST
Dorm First Employe to Be
Arrested for Criminal
Negligence.

The case of Brakeman Dorm is be-
ing watched by all the railroad men
of the state, according to a state
ment of one of the. employees of the
Great Northern. Heretofore, when
an accident has occurred in which a
fatality occurred the man who was
to blame for the accident was usu-
ally punished by the railroad COM
pany by being dropped from the pay
roll for certain length of time, but
the question of the state taking up
the matter on account of alleged
criminal negligence is rare. One
railroad man said that this is the
first time he ever knew the state to
take hand. 1t seems to be the gen.
eral feeling, however, that an en-
ploye Of a railroad is answerable to
society as we'll as to the railroad
where human life is at stake.

DR.. King, president of the COM
mercial club, needs two representa-
tives to attend the meeting of the
Okanogan Valley Publicity league,
to be held at Okanogan on Friday,
the oath. Delegates from here can
help Wenatchee, as the upper coun-
try is an important auxiliary to We
natchce's prosperity.
Enthusiasm is always strong when
measures are being talked about,
and the present plan of sending
delegates to Okanogan has met with
approval by the members of the club,
who are glad to see club money used
for the purpose. But there are
none who care to give their time,
and the president gives so much of
his own time to the causes of the
commercial club that he feels as
though the other members should
give little, too.
L. NJ. Hull is in Okanogan at the
present time in the interests of the
local option election being held
there and an effort will be made to
keep him there for Friday. Two
more delegates are wanted, but at
the time of going to press it looks
as though the Okanogan convention
will have to do with one representa-
tive from the city that aims to be
the central city of north central
Washington.

NO GRAFT FOURTH
PROMISED
Why Fourth of July Com
mittee Prefers Recrea-
ton Park.

Members of the Fourth of July
committee are trying to give the city
"no-graft" reputation on the 4th
of July.
The public is familiar with the
usual way that Fourth of July cele-
brations are managed, wherein the
opportunities for spending money are
paramount to the celebration.
1t is the intention to welcome the
city's guests and to let them enjoy
themselves instead of going after
their money.
With this end in view the commit
tee rented Recreation park in order
to be in position to guarantee the
city's guests a certain freedom from
the usual expenses.
On the third and fifth, admission
will be charged for the purpose of
defraying costs of the free things on
the Fourth.
Celebrating at the park will be
limited to the afternoon on the
Fourth. In the morning the street
parade will be on Wenatchee avenue,
and in the evening all the arrange
ments are for the downtown dis
trict.
The committee would be willing
to have the races on the avenue but
feel that the lack of shade and seats
is too great an obstacle. Men would
not mind that much, but the women
and children would find the Fourth
a weary day if they could not have
the shade and opportunities for rest
that will be afforded at the park.
The grandstand there is to be en-
larged to accommodate several thou
sand, and in other ways the commit
tee is endeavoring to provide for the
comfort of all who come.
1t is hoped that the guests will go
away saying that .Wenatchee has the
right spirit, and to that end the COM
mittee wants to sacrifice all other
considerations.

NEWS OF WEDDING JUST OUT.

A surprise was sprung on Mon
day when the announcement was
made of the marriage of Miss Fan
ME Comstock to Ralph f Smith,
both of Bloomsbury, which took
place in Binghamton, New York,
last Thanksgiving Day.
1t had been intended to keep the
marriage a secret until spring,
when the school year at the Espy
intermediate School, where the
bride is teaching, would have been
ended. The illness of Mr.. Smith,
who is principal of the schools al
Camptown, interfered with this
plan, however. When he sent ioi
his wife, the news became known
The bride and groom are both
we'll known in town, and are popu
lar among the young people They
are graduates Of the Bloomsburl

SUSQUEHANNA LEAGUE.

With the snow still on the
ground and the baseball season yet
in the dim distance, Columbia
County is being filled with baseball
talk. Benton is planning to raise a
fund of five hundred dollars to sup
port a team in the Susquchanna
League, and Bloomsbury is agita-
ting the use of Athletic Park for
the same purpose.
A petition is being prepared ask
ing the permission of Council to
fence in the park and to play the
league games there. There is no
particular reason why this should
not be done. 1t would be making
profitable use of plot of ground
which in its present shape possess.
es neither beauty nor utility, and
would make good ball ground, as
it did in the balmy days OF the
league of decade and more ago.
