MAY GET STATE AID
MONEY
Petition Again Presented by
Owners of Property on
North Wenatchee Ave.

The Commercial Club committee
and a committee representing the
property owners of North Wenat-
chez avenue met with the county
commissioners yesterday afternoon
for the purpose of again presenting
the petition for the improvement of
North Wenatchee avenue through
the state and road plan.
Some months ago the commission
ers presented to State Highway Com
missioner Bowlby a petition for the
use of state aid money on the road
between Leavenworth and Peshastin.
This application was made last April
and the commissioners so far have
had no answer to the petition. Now
the commissioners take the stand
that 1t will have no further dealings
with the state highway commission
until the first application is disposed
Of Commissioner Bowlby is in the
city today and it is likely that he
and the commissioners will get to-
gether on the matter some time dur
ing the day. Commissioner Bowlby
has gone over the route on several
different occasions and is perfectly
familiar with the plan of improve
ment proposed.
Sometime ago the Commercial
Club, through the board of direct
ors, voted to stand behind the board
of commissioners in legal proceed
ings to compel the commissioners to
certify the petition to the state
highway commission. The commit
tee representing the property own
ers and the Commercial Club COM
mittee employed w. o. Parr as spe-
cial counsel in the matter, but it is
generally conceded that while man
damus proceedings might be insti-
tuted and the county commissioners
compelled to certify the petition, yet
it is entirely within the province of
the commissioners to withhold the
funds for this improvement and con-
sequently all idea of legal action
has been abandoned. It is thought
that some amicable arrangements
can be made and the Improvement
made on the plans contemplated, not
only on North Wenatchee avenue
but on the improvement desired on
the road between Peshastin and
Leavenworth.

Judge F. V. Brown, general coun-

b0W[bY TALKS ON
STATE AID
The Highway Commissioner
Says State Aid Plan is
Not Understood.

Highway Commissioner Bowlby is
at the Elman while attending to the
state road matters in this neighbor-
hood.
Mr.. Bowlby is heartily in favor of
the state-aid road plan and does not
think that there is any likelihood of
the state-aid law being repealed at
the next session of the legislature.
The New England states have been
experimenting with road building
systems for over a hundred years
and have finally adopted a state-aid
plan that is similar, except for some
minor differences, to that of this
state. Mr.. Bowlby stated that the
state of New York appropriated $780,
100000 two years ago to be expend-
ed in state-aid work during the fol-
lowing ten years.
The cities and incorporated towns
of this state provide 80 per cent of
the state-aid money, and the farm
properties and small towns give the
balance, although none of the money
is spent in the cities. The cities ap-
pear to have no objection to the ar
rangement, and as the country re-
ceives nothing but benefits Mr. Bowl
by thinks the law will stand, al
though it does not seem to be very
well understood at the present
time.
The purpose of the law is to pro-
vide SO per cent of the money for
building state roads. The counties
that the roads are in pay the rest
35 per cent coming directly from the
county and 10 per cent coming from
the local districts, or abutting prop
erty owners.
Roads must have all grades with
in the 6 per cent limits in order to
be considered by the state, and We
natchee's position of priority lasts
until September /.

To CONSIDER VINE
SAP GRADING
Directors of Apple Show
Promised to Take the
Matter Up.

Ira d. Edwards and DR.. D. w.
King returned last night from Spo-
kane where on yesterday these men
attended a noon day luncheon at
Davenport's restaurant in Spokane
on the invitation of the directors of
the National Apple show. The rep
resentatives of the club went for the
purpose of impressing on the Ma
tional Apple show management the
justice regarding the grading of the
Winesap apple. Strong arguments
were presented for the readjustment
but no definite action was taken.
The board of directors gave very
careful attention to the argument
presented and promised that the
matter would be given attention in
the very near future.

Governor of Missouri Says
That Late Fight Had
No Significance.

Jefferson City, Mo-, July 7.-Gov-
ernor Hadley offered a reward of
$500 for the arrest and conviction
of every person engaged in the lynch
ing of the two negroes at Charleston,
Sunday. In an interview the gov
ernor warned the negroes that they
must not provoke race riots on &C
count of the Jeffries-Johnson fight.
THE negroes have no occasion to
feel any satisfaction as the result of
that fight" said the governor, Its
only significance is that a negro prize
fighter whipped wornout white
prize fighter who had impaired his
constitution by idleness and dissipa-
ton. Jeffries no more represented
the white race than does Johnson
represent such men as Booker T.
Washington or Prof. Dubois. While
l propose to protect the negroes in
their rights, the negroes must under
stand that only by their own con-
duct can they secure the respect of
the people"

cussed at the Sycamore Hill confer
ence, whether they touched upon the
Balinger controversy and the Wash
ington senatorship, or whether they
were general, had pretty direct
significance. The insurgents here
are pleased with the interview
They declare that it simply indicates
that Roosevelt is behind the insur-
gent movement and that he had not
changed his mind through any
friendship for the President.
RoOsevelt's 20. K" of Poindexter
is taken to signify here that the for
mer president does not side with
Ballinger. An approval of Poindex-
ter could hardly be considered with
any approval of Ballinger and his
policies, to put it in the most mild
form possible, according to the poll
ticians.
Congressman Fish will visit Saga
more Hill tomorrow for a conference
with the Colonel. 1t is expected that
Senator Beverage, Gov. Hughes,
William Barnes, Jr., and Speaker
Wadsworth of the New York Assem-
bly, will be at Sycamore Hill next

TRA|NMEN DEMAND
INCREASE
The Proposed Wage Scale
On Western Roads Will
Be Presented Soon.

Chicago, July 7.-Nearly 10000
members of the Brotherhood of Lo-
connective Engineers on roads west
of Chicago, Duluth and New Orleans
will present a new wage scale to
the companies before August 1. They
will ask from 20 to 40 per cent in
crease in wages.
The Brotherhood of Railway
Trainmen and Order of Railroad
Conductors are also making ar
rangements for an advance in wages
on Western roads, to be presented
about December 20. They will ask
for at least 20 per cent increase.
The locomotive engineers at their
convention at Duluth several weeks
ago, Instructed the international Of
ficers to arrange for presenting the
new wage scale. After the Western
roads have settled, the engineers ex-
pect to go into the East and South
east. The campaign will last for
more than year.

The Wenatchee Furniture COM

commencing tomorrow morning at
9 O'Clock. This company recently
bought $4,000 worth of fine furni-
ture of all kinds which was slightly
damaged by fire and water at the
recent disastrous fire at Seattle. Not
caring to carry this stock in with the
regular stock of furniture, the COM
pany has inaugurated this big sale
to clean up the fire damaged stock.
The store has been closed for the
past two days in order to mark up
and re-arrange the stock. Great
slaughter prices are promised for
this event.

KILLED BY A HIGH
TENSION WIRE
Employe of Dalquist Camp
Came in Contact With
Live Wire.

County Coroner Saunders was in
receipt of a telegram just after noon
stating that an employe of Danquist
Construction camp, just above Leav-
euworth, had been instantly killed
about noon today by coming in con-
tact with a high tensioned wire. No
particulars were given in the tele-
gram other than this. Coroner
Saunders did not deem that an in
quest would be necessary, as the
death of the man was witnessed by
six or seven of his fellow workmen.
The man will probably be inferred
under the direction of the Great
Northern Railway company.

Denial Is Made.

New York, July 7.-Colonel The
odore Roosevelt today declared that
he did not discuss the Ballinger con-
troversy with Congressman Miles
Poindexter, of Washington, who con-
ferred with him yesterday at Oyster
Bay. The declaration was made in a
formal statement issued today from
Roosevelt's office at the Outlook.
Roosevelt will see many senator's,
congressman, assemblymen and 9TH
err public men representing all phases
of public opinion" the statement
says. "He declines to be responsible
for any statements except those he
makes himself. He has said nothing
and intends to say nothing regarding
any contest for nomination.
Indorses Poindexter's Record.
Regarding the conference with
Congressman Poindexter, Roosevelt
today said:
II will say / was pleased to find
his past record regarding cOnserva-
ton and similar subjects was In
hearty concord with mine.
Il did not express to him any
opinion regarding senatorial nomina-
TOMS and Poindexter did not ask for
any. l do not believe Poindexter
was responsible for any statement in
the morning papers except as I have
indicated. We did not discuss poll
teal questions in regard to the
Northwest and we did not touch upon
the Ballinger affair"

DID Roosevelt ENDORSE
PO|NDEXTER'S RECORD :?
Formal Statement From Elk President Says: IT Will
Say I Was Pleased to Find His Past Record Regard
ing Conservation and Similar Subjects Was in
Hearty Accord With Nine"

The most startling political news
and incidentally the hardest glow
the gang has received in long time
is contained in the announcement
cedited to Theodore Roosevelt that
he will aid Miles Poindexter of Spo-
kane in his fight for a seat in the
United States senate.
The alleged announcement credited
to Roosevelt was sent out last night
by the Associated Press and much of
it is denied today by the colonel. But
even if Roosevelt did not openly state
that he will aid Poindexter in his
fight, the fact that the congressman s
record is Endorsed by Roosevelt will
have considerable weight.
Local politicians at last have some
waited for some time for a subject,
but all agree that when the topic did
present itself it was worth the trou-
BILE. Everywhere is heard the discus
sion of the probable result of the an
nouncement credited to Colonel Roo
sevelt. This is taken to mean that
there must be uniting of the oppO-
sition on either John L. Wilson,
Judge Thomas Burke or some other
candidate if Poindexter is to be de-
featej.
The announcement by Roosevelt
is taken as plain admission by the
colonel that he is with the insurgents
or progressives, as they term them
selves, heart and soul. 1t also means
something else of great importance,
that he is against Richard A. Balm
ger, secretary of the interior. All
of which means much to the state
of Washington and the politicians
therein.
Just now the Poindexter opposition
is talking and figuring and discussing
and planning. With Roosevelt on
the side of Poindexter the battle be-
comes serious for the Seattle candi-
dates

What about the pictures?" asked
the champion who had not re-
ceived the news of the day.
When informed of the action of
the authorities all over the country,
he said:
"Well, I'm not surprised at it, and
especially not at Washington"
Johnson showed no mark of his
recent battle. A crowd gathered at
the station to get glimpse of the
Reno winner. There were repeated
calls for Johnson, but he did not
show himself outside the car.

causes of his defeat, as he viewed
them.
WAS it your age, or did race have
anything to do with it,"
Jeffries, who had been sitting with
his chin in one hand, glared into
vacancy, raised his big head and
stared gloomily at the questioner.

What 1t Means.

Washington, D. c., July 7.-Poli-
ticians here have had two distinct
shocks in the last two days. The
first came with the alleged informa-
ton that former President Roosevelt
would support Miles PoindeXter, of
Washington. for the United States
senate. The second came today when
Roosevelt declared that the first
statement was untrue.
That there is much political signi-
ficance behind the conference be-
tween Roosevelt and PoindeXter at
Oyster Bay yesterday all the politi-
clans agree. While Roosevelt's state
ment precludes the possibility of his
openly espousing the cause of Poln-
dexter for the senate when the con-
test for Senator Piles seat begins, it
is, nevertheless, believed that the in
dorsement of Poindexter by the for
mer chief executive will have great
influence, should he decide to make
the race for the senate. AS con-
sequence politicians are reviewing
Poindexter's record here with consid-
cradle interest and the Washington
insurgent is the subject of converse
ton generally in political circles.
Radical Insurgent.
Poindexter is one of the most
radical of the insurgent group in
the house. He was one of the nine
republicans who voted to unseat
Speaker Cannon after the memora-
BILE fight against the speakers rule
committee. He was one of the prin-
cipals in the rules committee fight
and he has played an important part
in all the insurgent movements.
Coming from Oyster Bay with the
official stamp Of It. r. on his rec
ord, whether the stamp takes the
form of Endorsement for any speci-
fic office or not, it is certain, as the
politicians here view the case, to
have a tremendous influence when
the political pot in. the Northwest
begins to boil.
Poindexter's delight yesterday
with Roosevelt's approval of his rec
ord and the statement which he is
sued after leaving Oyster Bay show
ed that whatever matters were dis

movement, and Professor w. d.
Lyman, who has worked long and
faithfully in the same cause, will
tour the state in an effort to organ

ington betterment of the naviga-
BILE rivers.
Immediate organization is neces-
sary if we are to realize the great
est benefits from the government S
appropriation" says DR.. Blalock.
Washington secured the third larg-
est appropriation in the United
States, and believe this can be best
handled by a committee, in whose
hands the direction of affairs would
be placed.
Wants More Interest.
1--WE should have 1000 members
of the National Rivers and Harbors
Association in this state, and the
work should receive much more in
terest and encouragement at home
than it has in the past. The i'm
provement of the rivers and harbors
means much, both to coast and in
land cities, and we cannot too high
ly estimate the Importance of this
move"
Hold Meeting in Seattle.
Professor Lyman and DR.. Blalock
will meet representatives of the
Lake Washington and Duwamish
river projects in Seattle July IL to
discuss ways and means of using the
government appropriations to the
best advantage. At that time it is
hoped some important conclusions
will be reached, and the work, it Is
hoped, will be actually started.
