Plans of Committee Maturing for One
of the Biggest Celebrations Ever Pro-
duced in the Northwest---All Central
Washington Invited Here July 4 and 5

races at the same hour as the ad-
dress. But the running and trotting
contests will be scheduled out on
Miller street, where the footing will
be excellent. Indications are that
some of the best horses from the up
per country will enter the lists. Ed
Garfield is looking after this end of
the sport.
Doctor Manchester will let conces-
sions at the park. He plans to pro-
vide many conveniences and pleas
ures for the crowds
Efforts are being made to secure
the ball teams from both Waterville
and Leavenworth to compete with
the home team in a series of three
games to be scheduled for Sunday,
Monday and Tuesday, July 3, and
5. The committee offers to pay all
the expenses of each team and to
give the winner of the series a purse
of $3.50. Admission will be charged
for the Sunday and Tuesday games,
but the Fourth of July game will be
free to the public. No charge will
be made even for seats in the grand
stand. On that day the town will
belong to the people and especially
to our visitors.
Agent Piper was present at the
meeting and said that he could not
positively guarantee reduced rates
but believed he will be successful in
securing them, probably fare and
third for the round trip.
The purpose of the committee is
unanimous to make the evening of
the Fourth one never to be forgot
ten. 1t is hoped that the whole town
and country will enter into the spirit
of the celebration that night in par
ticular. Recreation park will be
made comfortable as possible and
there will be something doing every
minute. In one corner a large plat
form will be erected for an old fash
toned "Bowery Dance" Quantities
of confetti will be available for a
pitched battle of hilarity. The Mar
di Gras will be another big feature.
Everybody is urged to provide cum
ming and stunning DISCUSSES. 1t will
be a question of who's Who?" For
the final windup it is hoped that the
fire works display will send everyone
home happy and proud of his coun-
try.

GRANTS PERMANENT WRIT OF
PROHIBITION AGAINST JUDGE
FORBIDDING HIM SETTING
ASIDE M'CONIHE DECREE.

Word from the state supreme court
came this morning announcing to c..
Victor Martin, of the firm of Martin
& Barrows, that that tribunal had
granted a permanent writ of prohi-
bition against the court of Judge
Steiner in Grant county, forbidding
him to set s..ide the decree in the
case of Martin & Turner VS.. McCon-
The.
It will be remembered that Nc
Connie, the father of the mammoth
irrigation project of Moses Lake,
having filed for water right on the
lake, claimed the right to 400 Gu
bic feet of water per second from
that body of water. Martin & Tur-
ner, prior to the time of the filing
of McConihe, had actually appropri-
atei 200 miner inches per second
for the irrigation Of their land at
that place. In order to perfect their
title to the land they had to get a
decree to be sent to the land depart
ment of the q. s. government at
Washington.

WIRELESS COM
PANY EXPLAINS
LETTER FROM COMPANY'S GEN.
ERAL FISCAL AGENT--EXPECTS
TO ESTABLISH CONTINENTAL
CHAIN OF STATIONS,

Replying to request for informa-
ton made by the Daily World, in re-
gard to the position of local stock
holders in the Wireless Telegraph
company the following letter is re-
ceivej from the Seattle office:
Our Mr.. Southwick, who has just
returned from Wenatchee, tells me
that you are interested in knowing
why we are going to close temper
arily our wireless station there. I
am glad to see you take an inter-
est. The reason we are going to
close that station temporarily is, we
have use for more instruments than
we can possibly manufacture, for
the equipment of steamships, and we
get a good revenue just as soon as
these instruments are put on the
steamships, and the Wenatchee sta
ton is not paying at present. We
feel it will pay we'll this fall when
the fruit season opens up, and we
have the Spokane station in commits
sion. We are trying to put the stock
holders money where we get the
largest revenue for the amount ex-
pended, and to pay an operator there
three months when there is practical
ly no business, I don't think it would
be dealing honestly with the stock
holders, and / know you will COIN
eide with me In this. It is the aim
of the United Wireless to pay a div
iiend out OF this years earnings,
and we also aim to cut down ex-
penses in every quarter where we
can do so and not interfere with the
earnings Of the company. We are
also going to close the North Yaki-
ma station until the fruit season
opens up. 1t is the company's aim,
as soon as we can get caught up on
our steamboat business, to put in
more inland stations, getting a chain
of stations across the continent as
soon as possible.
Always sincerely yours.

SUPREME COURT 0VERRULES STEINER

brought suit in the court of Judge
Steiner asking that the court grant
them the right to the water that they
had appropriated. The court on that
day decreed that with the exception
of the right o. Martin & Turner to
the use of 200 miner inches of wa
ter from Moses Lake, l.. F. McConi-
he had the prior right to the use of
400 cubic feet per second.
Shortly after the decree was grant
ed Judge Steiner thought the court
had been imposed upon and that
collision and fraud had been used
in securing the decree. His attempt
to set this decree aside in the lat
ter part OF April was stopped by the
temporary writ of prohibition from
the supreme court of the state of
Washington. That tribunal last
night made the writ permanent, af-
ter the hearing of both sides about
two weeks ago.
McConihe, it Is said, Is working in
connection with Mr.. HOLSTER of Chi
cago and other eastern capitalists
who expect to water about 100000
acres of the Moses Lake lands and
put it on the market. Accurate sur
veys by men of high standing have
been made and millions of dollars
are being expended to reclaim this
visit arid district.

YIN, CA, BUILDING NOT To
Be HEAVILY MORTGAGED
Officers and Trustees Met Last Night
and All Were UNANIMOUSLY That Re-
spect- Several Sites Offered but None
Selected---New Secretary Wanted

Protesting against the suggested
mortgaging proposition in connection
with the Y. NJ c. A. building, the
citizens have brought so much press
ure to bear on the matter that the
trustees feel satisfied that the senti-
ment of the community is against a
heavy mortgage.
Meeting last night the trustees
decided that small mortgage might
be made if developments showed that
a few thousand dollars more than the
amount subscribed were necessary,
but that on no account would large
liability be incurred.
President Gum was instructed to
make a public statement in the fol-
lowing words: 1.-THE trustees feel
that the association can do most act
i've and efficient work by keeping
free of debt, and hereby announce
their policy to keep within actual
amounts subscribed and collected as
far as practicable
Site Not Chosen.
Choosing a site is the foremost
Y. M. C. A. matter being considered
by the trustees. That opposite the
Methodist church seems to be the
favorite, although the concensus of
opinion is that it is too small. 9th
er sites, two near the the Episcopal
church, and one block from Chelan
avenue, are offered with good induce
ments, and definite action will not
be taken until all the sites can be
considered more thoroughly during
the week.

From the great amount of work
now being done by the Valley Power
company at Dryden it is evident that
the owners of this plant fully appre-
ciate the continued growth of the
city of Wenatchee and environs. By
means of a large dredger an enor-
nous amount of gravel and soil has
been scooped out from the company
part of the high line ditch, making
it many times larger than it was be-
fore.

When the Valley Power company
was sold to H. Remley and the Low
ell Brothers there were $50 h. D.

added bringing the total up to 1900.
Now the owners are putting In an
other unit which will add 100 b. D.
more.

new plant has been shipped from
the east and is expected to arrive
here within few days. Every bit
OF work that is going in is being
built In first class shape. Eighteen
men are now at work on the plant

charge of the plant, says that every
thing that is being built is being
done with regard to its permanency.

L. V. Wells, chairman of the build
ing committee, is to start on a tour
of observation as soon as he can ar
range to go. While such a trip will
require some of the funds, it will be
of inestimable benefit, the trustees
decided, by giving them a definite
knowledge Of what is needed, and
they will be in a position to use the
peoples money more wisely by study
ing the needs before endeavoring to
provide them.

Delaying incorporation until next
month the trustees will prevent the

calls for the completion of the work
by June 1. Ed Glasgow, brother of
Samuel Glasgow of the Centennial
Mills, Spokane, has the contract. 1t
