president, but believed the. president
had been deceived in the whole Balm
ger matter and was obviously mislead
into dismissing Pinchot for the reasons
given by the president himself.
Secretary Wilson alone is therefore
blamed. not for the dismissal Of Pin
chot, but for causing the president to
take an entirely erroneous view of
Pinchot's offense and to solemnly an
nounce reasons for his dismissal which
it is now found did not exist in fact.
1t is difficult, however to see how
the situation could be improved by the
dismissal of Wilson, especially if Bal
linger is permitted to remain. Balm
gers efforts to destroy conservation, to
throw open to grabbing syndicates the
valuable resources which the conser-
walton policy OF President Roosevelt
was formulated to protect, are at the
bottom of all the trouble, including the
dismissal of Pinchot, the difficulties
into which Secretary Wilson has
plunged and the embarrassment which
the president has experienced.

AS chairman of a sub committee of
the senate committee on commerce,
Senator Nelson reversed the Roose-
Welt polity as regarding the safe
guarding of the peoples rights in the
granting of waterpower sites. Roose-
welt upheld the Pinchot position that
no rights involving waterpower should
be granted in perpetuity. Nelson held
just the opposite, thereby becoming
a foe to one of the important Roose-
welt conservation policies.
In order to find in favor of Pin
chot in the matter of water power
grants, Senator Nelson must reverse
his written opinion on the subject.

any opportunity whatsoever of defend

were:

the Cunningham claims to patent,
without due investigation, when Com
missioner Ballinger knew they were
under suspicion; that, while in office
Commissioner Ballinger urged con-
gress to pass a law which would vail
date fraudulent Alaska claims; that,
shortly after resigning from office, he
became attorney for the Cunningham
group and other Alaska claims; that,
soon after he became secretary of the
interior, his office rendered decl-
sion which would have validated all
fraudulent Alaska claims.

purchaser, in and for itself, is gener-
ally thought. the prevailing opinion
being that other capital is behind the
move
The question is then, is the COM
pany interested in railroads as well
as gas, electric and power plants and
street railways. The deal with the
North Coast, whereby an option was
taken for 100000 for so days, proves
almost conclusively that a railroad
system is planned.
With the withdrawal of water pow
er sites throughout the northwest,
shutting off water power sites, it is
probable the company buying these
sites, and also eliminating COMPETE

AS to the real identity of the pur-
chaser, there is only more guessing,
but it is the Chicago & Northwestern,

lief Thus they will take over the

power, running the road through the

The fact that Chicago agents are

NEW RULING
IN INSANE

The recent transfer to the Medical
Lake hospital for insane of thirteen in
sane convicts from the penitentiary,
two of whom claim their sentences
have expired, provoked request from
Hospital Superintendent Semple for an
opinion from the attorney general on
the situation.
what shall I do Nth the patients
after their sentences expire?" he asked.
The attorney general has considered the
mass of state laws relating to custody
of insane and criminal insane, and de-
,cides that it is the duty of the hos
pital authorities to keep the convicts
until they are ordered released by the
board of control or some court.
To the board of control the attorney
general says that with respect to con-
victs who went to prison and became
insane later, they are to be kept at the
asylum until they regain Their sanity
or die. If sanity is regained before their
prison sentence expires. the board VIII
order them transferred back to prison.
As to those insane when committed TO
the penitentiary, if they become sane
ar the hospital, the fact must be re-
norted TO the board, which will order
them returned to prison, from wh'cA
thew NAV seek discharge under the new
law specifically covering these GRIM
inals in whose defense peia OF IN
sanity was raised at the time Of their
sentence.

In addition to the regular afternoon
meetings of the Know Your City
movement, meeting was held last
might in the Commercial club rooms
where is was possible to show sterop-
tical views, illustrating the subjects
in hand. A good sized crowd attend
ed, many of the ladies of the park
club and others interested in the
work, being present
Architect E. F. Lawrence of Portland,
was first introduced by Chairman John
P. Kent on account of the fact that
he had to catch the Portland train.
Mr.. Lawrence briefly spoke of the
Importance of the movement now on
scope, ranging from the simplest i'm
provements of a city to the municipal
ownership of public facilities, to the
child labor laws, and the commission
form of government. He said that a
city is like a human being; it has a
real vital organism, back bone, AFTER
les, heart, lungs and brain, and with
this point in view, Illustrated views
were shown of various cities of the
world, with especially good views Of
Paris and Washington, D. G.
In closing Mr. Lawrence said that
while he and his partner were look
ing over map of Walla Walla, as
was shown on the cloth, both were
struck with the idea of how easy this
city could be beautified by the i'm
provement along such lines as shown.
The pictures were beautiful as well
as instructive and were well received
by all present.
Mr.. Edward Cheasty, president Of
the Seattle park board, was then in
troduced, and gave a brief history Of
the park movement in Seattle from the
first concerted movement in 1904 to the
present date, when it expected that
bonds to the extent of $3,500,000 will
soon be issued for the use of the park
commission.
Mr.. Cheasty stated that to properly
guide a movement of this kind, COM
mission should be appointed of men in
terested, and given full control of the
park question, not only in selecting the
grounds and improving them but in the
ndnQllnS Oh all IuIlQS anu the ulSlI
ton Of the same. Seattle's parks are
largely donations from public spirited
men of wealth and property and Walla
Walla's could be.
Views of park scenes in Seattle
were cast upon the cloth and explained
by Mr.. Cheasty. These showed the
flower gardens, lawns, childrens play
grounds, and natural woodland scenes.
IT know" said Mr.. Cheasty, "that
can convince any business man of
your city as we'll as my own, that good
boulevards and parks return every dol
lar invested"
Mr.. Cheasty has consented to re-
main in the city and speak again at
the meeting tomorrow afternoon at
1880 on the same subject and all who
can should take advantage of the OPP
portunity of hearing one of the best
authorities on city parks in the Uni
ted States.
Cards were passed around after the
addresses last night at the instance OF
Mr.. Neiland, and the people present
asked to donate what they could to
the treasury of the civic league move
ment, as much expense is being incur
red. Anyone can become a member OF
the league by paying 81 and upwards.

SCORES A HIT
Crowded House Showed Appreciation
of Emotional Role of Miss
Roberts.

A crowded house and a most in
tent audience witnessed that which
is pronounced as one of the most
metropolitan and perfect perform
ances that has ever been produced
upon the Wenatchee theatre stage in
it's history, last night, for Miss May
Roberts made good in every respect
to the title of an emotional actress
of the first water, and can be stig-
matized as a star.
''The Adventures" is by no means
an easy Characterization to portray
and in fact should this same play be
handled by any other than first
class company supporting the Stella
role, it could become very easily a
talking and prosaic performance, but
May Roberts and her support sue
ceeded in riveting the audience to
a pitch of intense attention seldom
enjoyed in Wenatchee, and apart
from the actual performance, the de-
tails are most thoroughly attended
to, and it is these small things that
weigh so much.
There is no use in DEPRESSING up
on the theme of 1.-The Adventures, -
for nearly all Wenatchee theatre-go-
ers were there last night, but we
want to compliment Miss Roberts
and wish herself and her husband,
Victor Gillard, a most successful tour
around the world, for we Wenatchee-
ans will only speak of her in the

same terms as she speaks of the
Home Of the Big Red Apple"-that
you are a leader in your world as
We are in ours.
The costuming Miss Roberts wore
last night was most beautiful and
showed Paris art very plainly
Tonight we are promised an en-
tirely different class of performance
and laughter will rule, for 1.-The
Judge and the Girl is one of the
most amusing performances, and
from indications it will behoove
those intending going to procure
their seats early as this, the farewell
performance, looks like capacity

MONEY FOR CROP
Guy c. Browne Says Banks Have 1t
On DenOSit

Guy c. Browne Says Banks Have 1t
On Deposit.
1T will take tremendous amount
of money to handle the crop in the
Wenatchee valley this year." said
Guy c. Browne, formerly cashier of
the Columbia Valley Bank, who is
in the valley this week. THE banks
are in shape to handle the financial
end of it, however.
"Wenatchee has a bigger bank
capital in proportion to the deposits
probably than any other city in the
state
Zone of the big questions, how
ever, for the people of the Wenatchee
valley will be the matter of getting
help. I am afraid that the growers
hardly appreciate the amount of help
that it is going to take. 1t will be
but about month now until the
peaches and apricots will be on the
market.
Everything points to a big crop
all around and with the extra acre
age coming into bearing there will
be so much larger crop than many
anticipate. For instance, the COlum-
bia Valley Bank ranch two years ago
produced 5000 boxes of peaches. This
year there will be $1,000 boxes.

our 60-acre ranch north of the city.
