REPORT OF NEW YORK FIRM
SHOWS THAT RAILROAD BUSI-
SHOWN BIG INCREASE.

New York, April 12.-The April
report of Trippe & Co., the railroad
stock brokers, calls attention to the
great increase in business in the
northwest the past year; and to the
fact that the building of the Milwau-
kee through to the Pacific coast at
Tacoma, into the field heretofore oc-
cupied by the Northern Pacific and
Great Northern, has apparently cut
into the business of the Northern Pa
cific but little and itno the business
of the Great Northern not at all.
The report of earnings shows for
the Northern Pacific $44,665,306, an
increase of s2,S72,741, or per cent;
the Great Northern, s3S,961,351, an
increase of $5,425,S10, or 16 pei
cent, and of the Milwaukee $685..
6,256, an increase of $1,349,459
or 3.9 per cent; the Northwestern OF
$44,13S,217, an increase of $4,14S,.
$40, or 10 per cent.
OF the four roads the Great North
ern is the only one that shows an
increase in net earnings, % per cent
while the others show a loss, 6 per
cent for the Northern Pacific, 16 per
cent for the Milwaukee and IA fol
the Northwestern.

FLINT FOR BALM
GERS PLACE
RUMORED THAT CALIFORNIA
SENATOR is SLATED FOR SEC
RETARYSHIP AS SOON AS Sc
ATTLE MAN STEPS OUT.

Washington, April 13.-It is be-
ing persistently rumored here today
that Senator Frank Flint of Califor-
MIA is to be secretary of the interior
to succeed r. A. BaIlinger of Seat
tie.
According to the report Ballinger
is to retire from Office as soon as the
attacks against him cease. Then,
according to the rumored program,
Flint, it is said, will Immediately re-
sign from the senate and become
head of the department. When Flint
was asked regarding the report he
declined to confirm or deny it. He
merely smiled broadly.
Ballinger has been quoted time
and again as having said that he
would quit the interior department
as soon as the controversy regard
ing him subsidized. This lends color
to the report.
Flint has announced that he will
not run again for the senate. He
gives as a reason that the California
primary makes politics ''too expen-
sive.''

Carl Christensen is in receipt of a
telegram from Congressman Miles
Poindexter, asking for prices for
close-in property suitable for the
federal building. Mr. Poindexter re-
Gently asked for an appropriation of
100000 for a federal building for
Wenatchee and the department is de-
sirous of knowing the cost of a site.
Congressman Poindexter wanted pri-
ces on corner lots approximately $50
x140. Mr.. Christensen wired him
that locations at different places
could be secured ranging in price
from $4,000 to $4,000.
Among the sites offered were: Cor
ner of Chelan and Orondo, east of
the Methodist church, owned by w.
NJ. Olive; corner of Mission and Or
ondo, owned by T. F. Lewis and Mrs.
e. NJ Baker; corner Chelan and Pa
louise, owned by George H. Ellis, Jr.;
corner Of Wenatchee and Yakima,
owned by w. M. Olive.
1t is believed that Congressman
Poindexter will be able to secure the
appropriation for the building and
site and either one suggested would
be suitable for postofice purposes.

PROGRESS ON CHE
Ian BRIDGE
NO BED ROCK FOR FOUNDATION
REMAINING PIERS MUST BE
BUILT ON PILES OR SPREAD
BASING.

Work on the Chelan bridge is pro-
crossing as fast as the conditions
permit. The steel tubes that were
lost in the Columbia river recently
have been recovered and are now at
the bridge site.
The principal difficulty at present
is to provide a suitable foundation,
as no bed rock is available for the
remaining piers. The bottom is blue
clay as deep down as it has been
tested, and the contractor is given
the option of putting in piling for a
sub-base, or of making a spread
foundation" The blue clay will hold
up only two tons to the square foot
which is not sufficient for the area
of the pier bases. A concrete SUBJ
base eight feet square by six feet
deep will be sufficient to carry the
load and may be put in if the piling
base is not adopted. Next to quick
sand the blue clay is the poorest base
that engineers have to contend with.
1t is thought that in view of the
extra cement or piling work, the con-
tractor will have to figure closely in
order to make anything on the bridge
job.

SAYS TIGERS WILL
COME TONIGHT

The Tacoma Tribune of this morn
ing states that the Tacoma ball team
will leave tonight for Wenatchee I'M
less the weather shows a sudden
turn for the better The team has
been sadly crippled for the lack of
practice and President Quinn says
it is the apple district for his if
old j. Pluvious does not tighten up
on the raindrops.
The boys had little warming up
practice yesterday and they all show
ed the ginger of colts after their en-
forced layoff.
The management of the Recrea-
ton park, however, have had moth
ing from the manager of the Tacoma
team. OF course, they will be glad
to have the Tacoma bunch here, but
it seems queer that Manager Quinn
has not taken it up with the local
officials.

AN PROVEMEN1
ASSOCIATION
WOULD PERFECT ROAD FROM
WENATCHEE TO ROCK ISLAND
APPOINT COMMITTEE TO SEE
COMMISSIONERS.

Having determined to do what they
can to improve the wagon road be-
tween the Columbia river bridge and
Rock Island, a number of citizens
formed into the South Wenatchee
improvement association met Mon
day evening at the South Wenatchee
school house in District No. %, voted
to set that district apart as separ-
ate improvement district and appoint
ed a committee to take up the mat
ter with the county commissioners.
According to legislative enactment,
districts may have themselves set
apart for the purpose of lettering
their roads, and the body that met
last night decided to have such a
thing done by vote of 80 to 6. The
road is to take in the land under the
high line ditch. A committee was
appointed to take up the matter be-
fore the county commissioners. The
members so set apart were C. w.
Cobb. DR.. Saunders and o. Pike.
