COMMENCE LAYING STEEL JUNE 1ST

Mr.. Hogeland before leaving on
No. 4 last night, discussed the i'm
provement of the local grounds with
Local Agent Piper. 1t has already
been arranged to do a great deal of
filling In on the railroad right of way.
The filling in south of Orondo will
be on the Orondo grade and from
Orondo avenue north the Palouse
street grade will be used. The right
of way will require great deal of
earth to bring 1t to grade. The chief
engineer stated to Mr.. Piper that 1t
was up to him to lay out the plans
for identifying the grounds. He sug-
gested that it would be desirable to
put in parking strip north of the
lunch counter. Mr.. Piper is going to
give his best efforts to planning for
these improvements.
Extending Service Track.
The freight track is to be extend
ed at once to Orondo avenue in the
alley between Columbia and Wenat-
chez. Surveyors are working on this
now.

AUTOS NOT PRAC,
T|CA[ FOR TRIP
EXCURSION MAY Is WILL BE BY
TRAIN-LEAVES BETWEEN 8
AND o IN THE MORNING FOR
LEAVENWORTH.

Chairman Lail, of the excursion
committee, at the MONDAY luncheon
today submitted a report on the ex-
cursion to Leavenworth. He and the
committee have considered this sit
uation carefully and found that it
would be impossible to secure enough
autos to make the trip to Leaven-
worth and recommended that the ex-
cursion be made by train. Agent
Piper, OF the Great Northern, stated
that he could secure a train which
would leave here between and
o'clock in the morning and be at
which returns here at 1o'clock in the
morning. The committee suggested
that stops be made both at Cashmere
and Peshastin, arriving at Leaven-
worth about noon, where dinner will
be had and then the party will be
taken over the Wenatchee Valley &
Northern railway to Wenatchee Lake
arriving back at Leavenworth in the
evening where dinner will be served
by the Commercial club. The COM
mitee report was adopted and the
committee given full charge to make
arrangements for the excursion. 1t
is expected that fully 200 will make
the trip and the excursion party is
limited to Commercial club members
only.
Chairman Lail made a preliminary
report on an excursion which will be
made to the Okanogan some time
early in the summer The itinerary
as planned is to make the trip to
Pateros by boat thence going by auto
as far as Winthrop over the noun
tains to Conconully, Loomis, thence
to Riverside and down the river
again to Brewster The details of
this trip will be worked out later.
The luncheon today noon was
served by the ladies of the Christian
church.

SELECT PAV|NGFOR
MISSION STREET
OWNERS ON THE
STREET IN MEETING LAST
NIGHT CHOOSE ASPHALT MAC
ADAM.

Asphalt macadam was the kind of
paving selected by the property own
ers of Mission street in their meeting
at City Engineer Wards Office last
night.
The meeting was addressed by ex-
City Engineer Wiley of Spokane in
regard to the different kinds of paw
ing. The asphalt macadam differs
from the ordinary asphalt paving in
that the latter is made up of ordi-
nary sand and asphalt while in the
former crushed rock of various sizes
is used. This is the kind, he said,
that is being used entirely in Los An
geles, where many miles of paving
is being put in at a total cost of 49,
100000.
The paving selected will be built
as follows: Ground cleared and roll
ed; 4-6 inch rock layer; this is rolled
down; coat of liquid asphalt; 1 "
inch rock layer, rolled; coat of as
phalt; 1 inch rock layer, rolled; as
phalt; finished with screenings
("chicken feed" as it is called).
This is claimed by the engineer to
be the only kind of paving which has
been able to withstand the auto
travel, ana he agreed to guarantee it
for five years.

GREAT NORTHERN WILL ASSIST
IN CONNECTING WATERVILLE
WITH THE COULEE BRANCH AT
DOUGLAS.

A. H. Hogeland, chief engineer of
the Great Northern, and A. s. Bowen,
superintendent, spent yester-
day in the city and were met here
by A. L. Rogers, representing the
Waterville Railway company. Mr..
Hogeland gave Mr.. Rogers assurance
that the Great Northern would CO.
operate in connecting Waterville with
the Coulee branch and that steel lay
ing would commence June 1st. The
grading on the short stretch between
Waterville and Douglas has been CON-
pleted and the track laying will take
but a very short time, and it is
thought that by July list railway SER
vice can be had into Waterville. The
rolling stock has already been ar
ranged for. !.

HITS THE ROAD.


Wilson Creek is chosen for the
home teams battle ground next Sun
day. The Wilson Creek fans prom
ised to come to Wenatchee for two
days If the Wenatchee boys would
play game there.
Accordingly Percy Scheble has ar
ranged to take the first team to Will
sen Creek next Sunday, AMI the re-
turn game will be played here on the
29th and 30th.
The Sunday in between, May %, is
not scheduled yet, but as a game with
Leavenworth is wanted there is a
probability that that will be the date
The principal objection to going to
Leavenworth on the 22nd is that the
home grounds will have no game for
two Sundays in succession.

BRANDEIS IN BALLINGER-PIN-
CHOT INVESTIGATION SEEKS
TO SHOW GUGGENHEIM INFLU-
POINTMENT.

Washington, d. c., May 10.-A
link in the chain he is attempting to
construct to connect Secretary Bal
linger with the so-called Morgan
Guggenheim interests, Attorney
Brandeis today brought the name of
Senator Piles, of Washington, into
the Ballinger-Pinchot investigation
as an instrument by means of which
these interests, as he seeks to show,
brought about Ballinger's appoint
ment as commissioner of the land Of
flee Although the commission by
a party vote sustained Senator Suth-
erland's protest against a senator be-
ing dragged into the investigation"
Brandeis' was permitted to read
newspaper account of a celebration
of Piles election held in Seattle jan
uary, 1905, at which Piles was quot
ed as saying in a speech that Char
ley Sweeney brought about my cleo
ton" Sweeney is president of the
Federal Smelling company, subsid-
larry to the Guggenheim syndicate,
and is one fthe Cunningham claim
ants. Ballinger said he was present
On that occasion as mayor of Seattle,
but did not recall Piles speech. Piles
urged Roosevelt to appoint Ballinger
as commissioner but the latter today
reiterated his former statement that
he did not decide to accept until he
had been urged to do SO by both the
president and Secretary Garfield.
Brandeis had stated that he. reason
to believe Ballinger's appointment as
commissioner OF the land office and
later as Secretary of the Interior was
the result of an effort OF those in
fluences of the northwest interested
to have some one in the land office
whose ideas regarding patenting
lands in Alaska were different from
those of Garfield. Brandeis sought
and obtained Yes or "No" answers
to question whether. he thought
clear listing" was in effect, dec
laration that the necessary examin-
alton of claims had been made and
that there was no reason why they
should not have been patented. In
this he was unsuccessful, Ballinger
declaring that the Cunningham
claims had been clear listed by him
on the strength of records before
him and that in the same record as
he said before, he would clear list
them again. When Brandeis asked
if he had not assumed that the nee
essary examination had been made,
Ballinger replied holly: Cali Of your
efforts throughout this hearing have
been to besmirch my character by
trying to show some devilish inspir-
alton back of my actions. Those
who have known me in every office
l have ever held know it has made
no difference to me whether they
were friends or strangers. The COM
mittee decided by a party vote that
Ballinger had answered sufficiently.

AUTO CLUB MEETS
TONIGHT
CHELAN COUNTY AUTOMOBILE
CLUB MEETS TO ADOPT A CON.
STITUTION AND BY.LAWS-EN.
ROLL NEW MEMBERS.

Members of the automobile club
that was formed last Tuesday for the
lettering of the county roads meet
again tonight for the purposes OF
finishing the organization and OF
taking in new members.
Improvement of the main high
ways is the prime purpose of the
club, and the organization will also
be convenient in making arrange
ments for special occasions on holi-
days when the automobiles are want
ed.
Twenty-Five members are on the
charter and several additions are ex-
pected tonight.
Meetings, until further arrange
ments are made, will be held in the
rooms Of the Commercial club.
All but one autoist who has thus
far been approached for the $25 fee
has gladly contributed this amount
and work has been started by mem
bers Of the club at Cashmere who
have purchased a team of horses and
wagon. White flags, indicating the
places to be fixed between Wenat-
chez and Leavenworth, have been set
up and the work will be pushed
rapidly. 1t is thought that the coun-
ty commissioners can be aroused so
that they will meet the voluntary as
ISOLATION half way by contributing
as much toward the improvement of
the roads as the auto club does.

TO C0D|FY
WATER LAWS
CONFLICT BETWEEN OPPOSING
THEORIES HAS LEFT CUES
TION IN WASHINGTON IN A
TANGLE.

North Yakima, Wash, May TO-
The special commission appointed by
Governor Hay to prepare code on
the water laws of the state, will meet
here May 26 in the Office of the To-
cal member, L. o. Meigs The other
members are Prof. o. L. Waller, of
the state college, Pullman; Charles
P. Lund, Spokane; Carroll B. Graves
and James D. Blackwell, Seattle. The
code will be submitted to the next
legislature for action.
Utter confusion reigns at present
regarding water laws, legislation and
decisions. The commission will seek
such reconciliation of conflicting
measures as will remove many Of the
legal uncertainties now inevitable.
The trouble in the past, according
to Mr.. Meigs, has been that a cease
less conflict has been waged between
the opposing theories of appropria-
ton ami riparian rights, the former
outlined by statutes, and the latter
resting on the common law.
In California, the theory of ap-
preparations forms the basis Of de-
cisions while here riparian rights
were first recognized, with later
tendency on the part OF the courts
to uphold appropriation as well. The
result is that not an attorney in the
state has a clear understanding Of
T the situation.

CLUB To RAISE $4,000 FOR
ADVERTISING PURPOSES
Many Minor Matters Came up for Con-
sideration Last Night at the General
Meeting of the Commercial Club---
Publicity Campaign Recommended

Realizing the lack of funds and
literature for the purpose of ade-
quately advertising the Wenatchee
valley, the commercial club, at its
regular monthly meeting last night,
approved of the plan of appointing a
publicity committee whose business
il is to raise a fund of $1,000 and
to publish literature that will proper
ly set forth the facts about the val
ley in a way that will induce capital
lists to willingly invest their money
in developing the abundant resources
of this reion. The plan so approved
was reported by J. F. Weber.
House Committee Reports Activity.
Walter Olive, chairman of the
house committee, reported that con-
tract for the construction of living
rooms on the third floor of the club
building had been let to Contractor
Windham. One thousand three hun
dred and fifty dollars will be spent
for the construction of these rooms
and $3.50 will have to be spent for
bath rooms. Connections with the
heating plant will be undertaken in
the fall of the year. The rooms are
to be ready for occupancy by June,
and it is expected that they will bring

Civic Improvements.
After thanking the commercial
club for the use of the rooms for the
tuberculosis exhibit, DR.. Stevenson,
OF the civic improvement committee,
introduced State Secretary Wilcox of
the Y. M. C. A, who spoke of the
construction of Y. M. G. A. building
as a business enterprise. Said he in
brief: The Y. NJ C. A. is an enter
prise for the purpose OF building
way associations for which the great
transportation corporations annually
appropriate between 100000 and
100000. Railroads are not charit-
able enterprises. They are business
enterprises and the directors of these
great enterprises have found from ex-
perience that it pays to look after the
character of the men employed. 1t
is a good investment for the railways,
and why is it not good investment
for city? Other cities have decided
that it is. Consequently it is decided
to make a campaign in this city from
May % to May % to raise fund of
$4,000 for the construction OF a
building for the young men Of this
city. During those days so business
men together with so young men will
solicit for these funds. Ten teams
and carriages will be used in this
campaign. Those doing the work
will meet every day If possible at the
Commercial Club rooms for dinner.
The value of such a building to such
