Wenatchee Theatre Tonight.

Tonight Miss May Roberts and her
associated players open their initial
performance in 1.-The Grass Widow, y
a comedy in three acts of the most
amusing type. This same comedy
has had a tremendous run in Lon
don and New York, and those who
love laughter and sparkling comedy
do not want to miss this perform
ance.
= Miss Roberts comes with a most
excellent reputation for having a fin
ished company to support her, and
Victor Gillard, her leading man, is
perhaps known to many in Wenat-
chez as one of our cleverest actors.
During this engagement "a Grass
Widow" 1.-The Adventures" and
"The Judge and the Girl" will be
produced and from the outlook they
will accomplish what they have been
doing all along the line, that of
breaking records for big business.
Reserved seats are now on sale at
the Wenatchee Drug company.

FIRE ALARM DETECTOR.
Device to Prevent the Sounding o
False Alarms.

Device to Prevent the Sounding Of
False Alarms.
The problem Of so designing a fire
alarm box that it can be opened and
operated by any one in an emergency
and yet will tend to prevent the sound
ing of false alarms is one that has
engaged the attention Of inventors for
many years. A very ingenious solus
ton of the problem is presented in the
accompanying illustrations.
The alarm box is closed by cover
which has to be raised, as shown in
one of the illustrations. to permit the
operator to insert his hand through an
opening and release the alarm mechan-
ism. At the moment of the release a
handcuff closes over the wrist of the
operator, as illustrated in another pho
tograph. The handcuff is not chained
to the alarm box, for this would make
prisoner of the operator of the
alarm, whose services might be badly

Tho German Tin.

Germany Is the land of tipping. The
tip may not be large, but tip of some
sort Is universally expected, and the
wise traveller will accommodate him.
self to the habits Of the country by
tipping little and often. That the tip
ping system is orgaiized is shown by
an incident at Hamburg recently.
There is a regular scale Of charges
there for the station porters who carry
travellers baggage from the train to
the cab or automobile, as the case
may be. If the traveller gives more
than the scale the porter is bound to
hand the extra tip over to a common
fund. 1t has been found, however, that
in busy times the porter's attention is
too much occupied with his work to
allow Of his complying with the regu-
iation. and the result has been that the
company lately dismissed a dozen ror-
tiers for dishonesty"

bR|OGEPORT WILL
CELEBRATE
People of Up-River Town
Raise Over 500 for
the Fourth.

Bridgeport, Wash, June g.
Bridgeport has raised over 500 for
a big celebration July 4th and 5th.
Committees have been appointed and
are getting the work well in hand.
Beside all the usual features of eel
ebration of this kind there will be
lot of other interesting features.
There will be ball games participated
in by every nine in the upper coun-
try-Pearl, Mansfield, Leahy, Bridge
port and others. There will be horse
races, many of them by Indians from
the reservation who will come to
Bridgeport this year for the celebra-
ton. This will be, by far, the great
est celebration ever held in Douglas
county.
Messrs. E. c. Leedy, general immi-
grafton agent, and F. w. Graham, o.
A. Atwood, F. L. Mcdonald and G. c..
Morrison and w. L. Walker of Mans
field, travelling passenger agents of
the Great Northern railway, came to
Bridgeport Tuesday to inspect our
town and the fruit district tributary
thereto. These gentlemen have been
travelling about the state in the Great
Northern exhibition car, gathering
fruit and grain information and data
so that they can explain to the east
erner who wants to come west the
beauties of the state of Washington.
They were more than favorably
Impressed with Bridgeport and
Bridgeport orchards. Mr.. Leedy
stated, that after travelling over the
greater portion of the irrigated dis
tricts of the west, he would pro-
nounce the big pumping plant at
Bridgeport Orchards the finest he
had ever seen. They inspected the
orchards here, the town, saw mill and
flour mill and predict bright fu-
ture for Bridgeport.
They also stated that the present
time table on the Mansfield branch
of the Great Northern would be re-
tanned.
Bridgeport has sold over $4,000
worth of fruit land during the past
thirty days and is having the best
year in her history. At present new
houses are being erected by S. D.
Saunders, J.. w. Wright, A. Walker.
J. W. Scully is building an addition
to his residence, the Farmers Union
is beginning the construction of a
new office building, and next week
Bert Berry will commence the con-
struction of an elegant residence.
Work has been begun on the res
ervation side for the road approach
ing the new ferry across the river.
The Hotel Bridgeport has changed
hands. Chas. G. Hanson, the new
owner, has refurnished the building
from top to bottom and will run a
first class hotel.
After a weeks business here J. B..
Valentine left this morning for his
home in Spokane.
Chas. Goldberg and wife left yes
terday for a weeks business and
pleasure trip in Seattle.
Sunday we had the hottest, most
sizzling ball game of the season, the
local nine defeating the Stalwarts
from Waterville by score of to

kinds planted in Okanogan county

BURNING UP WEALTH.
Large Per Cent of the Fuel Energy of
Coal Goes to Waste.

Large -eF Seht OF t1e uci energy OF
Coal Goes to Waste.
The manager of big power house
recently made an analysis of the
amount of fuel energy in one pound
of coal which was actually converted
into electrical energy useful for work.
One pound of coal may be taken to
have inherently 10000 work units. OF
these 10000 possible work units this
manager found that 300 were wasted
in the ash pit, 1850 in the stack, $50
in banking fires, 800 in radiation and
miscellaneous losses. In other words,
in the boiler room 1920 work units
were wasted.
In the engine room $40 more work
units were lost by radiation of heat
from the pipes and 4,S10 work units
were sacrificed in the condenser so
that the total engine room loss was
$50 work units. In other words. says
System, only 1000 work units were ac-
tually disable out of the possible 10000
work units in a pound Of coal. One
fifth Of the coal bill was paid simply
to produces draft in the smokestack.

the handcuff serves merely for identi-
fication.
1t is made Of such form that it can
not be concealed under the coat sleeve.
and it betrays the sounder of the
alarm to the general public and is an
honor to a man unless the alarm is a
false one. Not until the fire chief has
arrived with special key to fit the
handcuff may the device be removed.
This system is also applicable to
boxes which are locked. 1t frequently
happens in such cases that the keys
are loaned out, and it is impossible to
determine who sounded the alarm
even when it is known whose key is
missing. American.

Words cannot adequately stig-

spiracy against civilization itself

man knowledge goes at the present time,
and 60 far as science has been able to dig
up trustworthy data, there is as much
authority for believing that Moses told
