Strikers Go to Spokane.

Most of the workmen in the Great
Northern switch yards, who went out
on a strike on Monday, left yester-
day for Spokane. They were unable
to force P. F. Connolly, who has
charge of the track work, to dis
charge the time keeper or the fore
man of the gang. Work is being re-
sumed. however, by other laborers.
About fourteen men have been en-
ployed to proceed with the construc-
ton work in the Great Northern
yards.

SERIOUS WRECK At
HARRINGTON
CRASHED INTO ORIEN-
tai LIMITED YESTERDAY
MORNING AND THE LINE WAS
BLOCKED ALL DAY.

The Great Northern passenger train
No. 1 and the Burlington arrived
here last night between and s p.
M, the delay being caused by SER
ious wreck at Harrington.
With shock which pitched pas
sengers from their berths and threw
the entire train into panic, west
bound freight train No. 1147, run
ming wild, crashed headlong into the
Oriental Limited at $50 yesterday
morning.
The head ends of both trains were
smashed, but while many were Sc
verely shaken up, nobody was SER
iously hurt.
Engineers Saw Danger.
The accident was one which the
engineers of both trains saw, but
neither was able to avert.
Each did his best, and the fact
that the limited was attempting to
back into the siding and let the
freight hurl by reduced the shock of
the collision, and probable is respon-
sible for the lack of casualties.
AS it is, the tender of the passen-
ger train stands buried in a mass
of wreckage of the mail car, which
was completely telescoped.
Three freight cars of the west
bound train were thrown across the
track, badly broken.
Collision Was Inevitable.
When the engineer Of the freight
saw that he would crash into the
front end of the passenger, and knew
that his brakes would not hold, he
began to whistle franticaliy for the
other train to give him clear road.
He was then possibly a half mile
from the station. At the speed at
which the freight was travelling,
however, the passenger train lid not
have time to get into the siding be-
fore the collision came.

BIG PACKING FIRM LOCATES N CITY

New growers, and those who are
busy about other interests, will find
the conveniences offered by the pack
ing plant the consummation of a
wish made every time the packing
season comes.
Standardize the Pack.
Standardizing the pack will be at
tanned by placing the orchards Of
fering in the hands of an established
business house. Human nature Is too
fallible to trust, according to the ex-
perience of many orchardists who
packed their own apples for inspec-
ton at the fairs. Macdonald Broth
ers have a reputation that is accept
ed by the trade. Their stamp means
the combination of perfect packing
and perfect grading.
Train High School Students.
Foremen will come from Califor-
MIA. but with Professor Tumble is
left the responsibility of providing
the packing crew. Students, either
boys or girls, from the high schools,
will be given a preference and train
ed in this practical work that means
so much to the city's future. Incl
dentally the salary roll of hundred
employees will stay entirely at home.
Will Purchase Orchards.
Impressed with the permanence
and value of the commercial outlook
here, the Macdonald Brothers are
decided to do more than to estab-
l:sh the packing plant AS they grow
familiar win the cornt1y and find
the best investments they will pTr-
chase orchards and Srow the king
of all the fruits, themselves.
Wealth acquired from successful
and long established business is at
their command, and they frankly say
that they see the doom of CALIFORNIA;
apples in the markets of the world,
and are re-establishing their business
here as the worlds demand is year
ly becoming more pronounced for the
apples that only grow in the valleys
of the Cascade range.

Library Site Unsettled.

While action was taken some time
ago formally locating the proposed
Carnegie library in the city park at
the intersection of Chelan and Okla
hogan avenues, yet the councilmen
have felt that no portion of the city
park should be used for a building
site. In order to dedicate any por-
ton of the park, which originally
was presented to the city by the We
natchee Development company sole
ly for parking purposes, it is neces-
sary to secure a quit claim deed from
the officers of that company in order
that the park could be used for IL
brary or any other purpose. When
Judge Burke was here some few days
ago the matter was preached to him
regarding the securing of quit
claim deed. He stated that the COM

CALIFORNIA FIRM CONES TO THE
WASHINGTON APPLES - RE-
LIEVE GROWERS FROM PRE-
LIMINARY EXPENSES.

Casting it's lot with Wenatchee,
the great California firm of MacDon-
aid & Sons, Inc, chooses Wenatchee
for the site of it's future business.
Appointing Professor R. E. Trum-
BILE for its representative here until
the season begins, the California firm
takes it's first step in entering this
territory.
I. w. Macdonald, of the firm, was
seen at the Elman hotel Sunday by
a World representative, and told of
his intentions then, but he did not
make a definite decision until after
ward.
Securing room in the cannery
building the firm is ready when the
season comes to handle all of the
output that is offered.
Relieve Growers of Advance Expenses
Arrangements are made with the
Lamb-Davis company whereby the
growers Uldy secure DOXoS charged
to the packing firm. Application for
railroad siding is made in order to
facilitate shipments from the perma-
nent factory that is to be built after
the first season. The cannery build
ing is engaged for the coming sea-
son only.
Room for the Enterprise.
Finding it difficult to handle the
increasing output, growers will well
come the packing plant. They are at
liberty to market their apples If they
want to, or the firm will do the mar
keting if they wish it, Growers are
entirely at liberty to place their
boxed product with the local commits

COST Of BIC SEWER

Assessment Roll Now on File With City
Clerk---Council Negotiating for New
Library Site---Mission Street Work
Held Up by Bond Buyers Attorneys

A special meeting of the city coun-
Gil will be held on Thursday night
to permit of contracting for a long
time period for the handling of the
garbage of the city. DR.. Kaupp, city
health officer, was present and re-
ported an emergency. During the
past week three or four different out
fits have signifiei a willingness to
take over the handling of the city
garbage and to one of the parties
the contract will be let on Thursday
night. In the meantime the police
committee will prepare a schedule Of
prices for the collection of garbage
and the council will strictly enforce
the ordinance relative to each fam
lily and business house providing it.
self with receptacles for the taking
care of the garbage. These will be
collected as often as necessary by the
garbage contractors and a schedule
of prices will be established by the
city council. 1t is likely that the
council will establish maximum
price of 81 per month for the hand
ling of garbage from the residences,
$40 for eating houses and a lesser
rate for a majority Of the business
houses. While the maximum rate is
established by the council yet the
contractors themselves will make all
contracts with the parties themselves
and it is likely that in most cases
the rates of hauling off cans once a
week from the residence districts will
not be over SO cents.
Create Office of Deputy Health Of
ficer.
DR.. Kaupp requested aid in his de-
partment, stating that he desired to
enforce the health regulations and
maintain as nearly perfect sanitary
conditions in this city as possible.
To do this he required help in his
department for the coming few
months, and in view of the fact that
the fire chief, who is also deputy
building and plumbing inspector, has
a great deal of time on his hands.
he was created deputy health officer
to serve without pay. He is clothed
with police power and will make
rigid inspections of all premises
throughout the city, and will strict
ly enforce the health regulations.

Do animals possess the power of
logical judgment, or, as we oftener
say, reason? Naturalists-and others
have long debated the question, and
are still divided. A writer in Science,
without committing himself on the
point, tells what ne saw on a country
road in Georgia, and every reader will
agree with him that 1t was remark
able
commotion In the underbrush be-
side the road attracted his attention.
He investigated the cause, and saw a
coachwhip snake about four feet long
struggling with lizard less than a
foot long. They were not fighting;
the snake was trying to eat the lizard
Occasionally the lizard would get
away, but the snake would at once
give chase and recapture him. The
snake invariably caught his prey by
the body; he acted as If he knew that
IL he seized him by the tail the lizard
would break off the tail and escape.
Finally the lizard, escaping from the
snake, darted up tree; the snake fol-
lowed. Here the four jointed legs of
the lizard gave him the advantage.
After darting up the tree short dis
lance he paused and glanced back
ward. AS often as the snake approach
ed he would again dart forward, stop,
and look backward; this happened sew
eral times.
Then all of a sudden the snake
dropped to the ground The lizard
continued to gaze downward About
a foot from the tree on which the liz
ard was resting head downward, there
stood another tree. Spirally up this
tree the snake climbed until It was
few inches above the level of the
lizard. which was still gazing scru-
tiniZingly downward.
Quietly and quickly the snake ex-
tended the front of its body, and with
a sudden thrust of it's head knocked
the lizard to the ground, and before 1t
had time to recover from the unex-
pected blow the snake had dropped to
the ground and recaptured it.

Railroad Rate Commission So Holds
In Decision.

Railroad Rate Commission So Holds
in Decision.
A readjustment for rates for electric
lights was authorized in a decision
handed down by the railroad commits
sion in the matter of the complaint OF
the city of Hudson against the rates
and services of the Burkhardt Milling
and Electric Power Company. The
citizens seem to think that because the
company gets its power from the st,
Croix River, the rates ought to be very
low, but the commission, after having
the matter under consideration for
more than a year, concluded that these
rates are not only reasonable, hut that
the company would be justified in
charging slightly higher rates in some
cases. The decision involves the
proper method by which the value OF
water powers may be ascertained. The
common method of estimating so much
per horsepower about the same as the
cost for steam power is not accepted
by the commission for the reason that
it would deprive community of the
advantage it should have in the fact
that water power is conveniently To-
Gated. In other words, the commits
sion declares that water powers are
not purely private property.

BALLOTS ARE MARKED.

Red Ink HierogIyphic on Votes May
Reverse Election Result.
After the polls closed in Corliss on
election night and before the ballots
were counted,a protest was filed against
eighty ballots being counted, for the
reason that there was cross mark in
one corner of each ballot in red ink.
II is claimed that these ballots were
passed out to foreign workmen in the
shops at that place and who could not
read the English language, thus in
structing them how to vote. There
were two tickets in the field, Citi-
zens' ticket, headed by C. A. Brown,
and Taxpayers ticket. with Frank
Lingsweiler for president. The marked
ballots contained the name of the Citi-
zens' candidate, and it was claimed
that if they were thrown out it would
elect the Taxpayers ticket. Some of
the supporters of the taxpayers have
been consulting attorneys as to whether
another election could be called.
