WANT NO CHANGE
N SCHEDULE
MANSFIELD COMMERCIAL CLUB
REPRESENTATIVE IN THE CITY
TODAY, ASKING HELP IN MAIN
TANNING TRAIN SCHEDULE.

A. E. Gilmore, representing the
Mansfield Commercial club, is in the
city today in conference with the Of
ficers of the Wenatchee Commercial
club relative to the Wenatchee- Mans
field train service. An effort has
been made to change this service and
petitions have already gone in to NJ.
]. Costello, traffic manager of the
Great Northern. The Mansfield peo-
pie abe interested in maintaining the
service as at present. The train
leaves there early in the morning and
returns the same night, making it
possible for the up-country people to
make the round trip in one day and
have plenty of time to do business In
the city. Some few weeks ago the
matter of change in the schedule
came up here and Agent Piper took
up this question with the business
men of the city and it seems to be
the unanimous sentiment that the
service with the Douglas county peo-
pie is very satisfactory here and no
change was recommended. A petit
tion is being prepared by the Mans
field people and the cooperation Of
the Douglas and Waterville people IL
being sought for the retention Of the
present service.
Mr.. Elmore is here today to ask
that the Wenatchee people join in the
petition for the retention of the pres
ent service.

ORIGINATED A NEW
APPLE
HARRY SHOTWELL HAS NEW AP-
PILE WHICH HE BELIEVES
WILL BE SUPERIOR EVEN TO
THE FAMOUS STARK DELICIOUS

Some years ago Harry Shotwell
top-workei summer apple, half of
it into King David and the other half
into what he supposed was Delicious
From this tree which was worked
over he has secured perfect King
David and what he believes Is an i'm
provement on the well known Stark
Delicious. The new apple, which he
has been urged to call the Shotwell
Delicious, is we'll colored. He be-
lieves that it is a firmer apple and
has all the good qualities of the De-
licious and has what he considers an
improvement on it. The Stark De-
licious has a series of points at the
base of the apple which some grow
ers consider to be detriment In
packing. The Shotwell apple lacks
these points and is perfect shaped
apple for packing. Last fall was the
first year that the tree produced AMI
from it Mr.. Shetwell took off prob
ably dozen apples. The wood which
produces these apples is light red
while the natural coloring of the De-
licious tree is dark. Mr.. Shotwell
will continue his experience with the
apples and will use all the gratis from
the tree this year on other varieties.
The apples from the tree can be seen
in the Wells & Morris window.

MEAT CONDEMNED
At PRISON
CHARGES MADE THAT PENITEN-
TIARY WAS FURNISHED WITH
BAD BEEVES-MATTER BEING
INVESTIGATED.

Olympia, Feb. 25.-State prison
officials having discovered that
beeves furnished by the Walla Walla
Meat and Cold Storage company for
use Of the institution were frightfully
diseased, the livers and kidneys be-
ing rotten and the carcases contain
ing numerous running assesses, the
meat was rejected. Manager Conway,
writing to the state board of control,
says: "Our plant here is operated
under United States government in
spection and we are sure the cattle
condemned at the penitentiary would
not have been condemned for food
purposes under federal inspection"
The state board makes it a provis-
ion Of its contract that all meat pur-
chased must pass inspection of the
prison physician. Recently Mr.. Con-
way, In a talk before the Walla Wal
la Commercial club, said that the
meat furnished the prison inmates
was better than 40 per cent Of the
Walla Walla citizens were receiving
In his letter to the board he says
also, I'VE Of course, we're given a
chance to remove the three carcasses

to do 30, after they had been reject.

WOMEN To PROBE
COST Of LIVING
CONSUMERS LEAGUE in PORT
LAND INVESTIGATES WAGES
= OF WOMEN AND COST OF Me-
CESSTTIES.

An investigation into the cost OF
living compared to wages received by
wage-earning women in Portland will
be undertaken by the Consumers
league. This work, which will prob
ABBY extend over year, was planned
at the regular monthly meeting of the
executive committee of the league
Friday. An exhaustive investigation
of this nature has occupied members
of the Consumers league in New
York City for several years. A par
tial report of the results of the in
vestigation there were published re-
Gently in the Ladies' Home Journal
Wage boards are also receiving the
attention of members of the league
A trial of wage boards has not yet
been attempted in this country, but
their success has been demonstrated
in foreign cities, London having
elected such a board within the last
few weeks.
Several violations of the 10-houl
labor law for women were reported
and the visiting committee reported
an inadequate number of seats fol-
saleswomen in some of the Portland
/. shops.

STARS ANDSTR|PES
STILL THERE
WHY THE COUNTRY FLAG DID
NOT WAVE ON THE LAST TWO
HOLIDAYS-THE COMMERCIAL
CLUB BORROWED 1T.

On the 18th and 22nd of this
month the county was like the man
who lent his dress suit to somebody
else, and then had to go to the hall
in his other clothes.
The commercial club thought that
the county flag would adorn the new
club building better than OF would the
old court house, and accordingly a
representative of the club waited on
the county authorities and succeeded
in capturing "Old Glory, saying
Thank you ever so much! We will
bring your flag right back" The
commercial club still has the flag.

NELSON DEMANDS
ANOTHER FIGHT
WOLGAST AGREES "BAT" DE-
SERVES 1T, BUT SAYS HE WILL
HAVE TO WAIT - NELSON.
THOMPSON NEXT.

San Francisco, Feb. 25.-Now that
the smoke of the Nelson Wolgast
battle has cleared and numerous re-
ports of the defeated champions
serious injuries from the fight have
been refuted by Nelson himself, the
sporting world is devoting its atten-
ton to the possibility of second
meeting between the men.
Nelson, from his place of retire
ment in the baths, has sent out re-
peated demands for another chance.
He insists that he was not in form;
that he still had a chance when Ref
cree Smith stopped the fight yester.
day. Wolgast says Nelson will have
to wait. He proposes to exercise the
privilege of championship now that
he has won the title. He agrees that
Nelson is entitled to another fight.
Sporting writer's are inclined to
doubt that the men will meet again
They apparently concur in believing
that Nelson has gone back, and that
his age and years of training have
told upon him at last; but hold him
to be dangerous man to beat.
Johnny Thompson Next.
In the meantime they are casting
for the next fistic event. It appears
to be Nelson against Cyclone John
ny Thompson. The managers of the
pair met today and again tonight to
discuss a 45-round match at no dis
tant date. They are said to have
virtually agreed to general terms, the
winner to challenge Wolgast.
Robinson, Nelson's manager, con.
tinued his discussion of the Nelson
Thompson match up to the moment
of his departure for the east. At the
ferry he said that he would tele-
graph from Reno in the morning
the result of his talk with Nelson
Robinson intimated that Nelson
would accept a proposition to fight
here in May.
Another topic OF sporting CONVEX.
sation tonight was the challenge
from Cans, who lost no time In
claiming Wolgast's attention. The
negro asked for a 20-round bout, but
1t was not thought likely his chal-
lenge will produce results.
Nelson's Spirit Undaunted.
Nelson spent the day in the baths
here and left for Chicago tonight
He was much battered about the
face, but showed no loss of spirit. He
says that he was overturned anG
not entirely himself. On his ability
to come back" he said he was pre-.
pared to wager $4,000 as a side bet
Nelson said that he would devote
himself to his theatrical engage
ments for the present, and later &c
to his ranch in New Mexico for 9
rest.

IS FOR An INCOME
TAX LAW
SENATOR BROWN OF NEBRASKA
DISCUSSES ITS EFFECT UPON
STATE SECURITIES - NECES-
SITY IN CASE OF WAR.

Washington, Feb. 25.-Admitting
that he had greater respect for New
York in the senate than for New York
out of the senate" Senator Brown of
Nebraska, author Of the income tax
amendment, joined the debating So
ciety composed of Governor Hughes
on the one side and some of the men,
bers Of the United States senate on
the other.
Mr.. Brown spoke in the senate to
the resolution of Senator Borah d.
recting the senate committee on the
judiciary to make an inquiry con-
corning the legal effect upon state
securities Of the adoption of the in
come tax amendment to the constitu-
ton. He devoted his efforts espec-
tally 20 demonstrating that the New
York governor had been wrong in
his assumption that the amendment
would have the effect of laying a
burden on the states.
Calling attention to the fact that
no one in congress or out had point
ed to the possible effect Of the
amendment on state affairs Mr..
Brown said: ''In this body the state
of New York enjoys representation
of the highest character and most
eminent ability, and yet New York on
the roll call, as shown in the con-
gressional record. was in favor OF
this amendment as it passed con-
gress AMI was silent as to any sug-
gestion that the language was faulty.
have greater respect for New York
in the senate than / have for New
York out of the senate on this ques-
ton"
Senator Brown contended that the
amendment dees not alter or modify
the relation today existing between
the states and the federal govern
ment.
Arguing that as the safety of the
state depends upon the safety of the
nation, he said: Should a foreign
fleet lombard the city of New Yorl
can imagine the borrowing capac
ity of the Empire State might be
measured. But the impairment woult
be measured by the danger the as
sault brought to the republic. II
other words, New York's credi
would be protected in proportion tt
the ability of the federal government
to protect itself against the enemy
when regiments must be equipped
and armed; when battleships mus
be rushed to the scene of danger
without counting the cost, this gov
eminent should have the power tt
lay its tax upon the incomes Of those
who have them. hope the emery
ency I have described may never
arise. But should 1t come the repub
lie should be clothed with full au
thority to lay a just share of the
burden upon the income of the whole
country"

StrahOr1---Hnnf0rd Alliance
Night Session in Judge Steiners Court at Ephrata
Wednesday in Which Strahorn Without the
Intervention of the Court Secured
Hanford Rights at Priest Rapids

Five attorneys representing the
Strahorn interests and an unknown
number representing the Columbia
Development company and various
land owners along the Columbia
river In the vicinity of Priest Rap
ids, met in a night session at Judge
Steiner's court, Ephrata, night be-
fore last, to settle the question about
whether the Strahorn interests or
the Columbia Development company
should have the right of way to con-
struct water power at Priest Rapids
and the privilege of conducting the
condemnation suits. There appeared
to be no difference between the Stra-
horn and Hanford interests. The
Strahorn crowd took the part of
intervenors while the Columbia De-
velopment company were the origin
al claimants. During the meeting a
sum of money was paid by the rep
resentatives of the "Great Silence"
that effectually satisfied the Column
bia Development company.
Manouvering between these great
interests has been going on for some
time and 1t was thought that there
would be a great fight in the courts.
However, the Strahorn characteristic
was again in evidence and the forces
came together in the stiffness Of the
night. They met and made COM
promise in the courthouse at Ephra-
t..
The engineer for the Strahorn peo-
pie stated that the canal which they
will take out from the river will
carry the water eight miles, where
72-foot fall will be had, and a
plant installed that will develop co.
600 horsepower Of electricity. BY
this power water will be pumped up
into the bench lands above, where a
vast acreage will be irrigated. The
canal will continue. after making its
72-feet plunge through the turbines,
for nine miles on down the river to
Pasco and will enclose within its en-
brace 10000 acres along the Col
umbia river. It was stated by the
engineer that the canal would have
a minimum Of 20 feet depth and that
eventually locks would be put in at
the lower end of the first eight miles
and boats would be diverted through
it and back into the river at the up
per end of the rapids. This will solve
the problem of navigation through
Priest Rapids
Fifty-nine condemnation suits were
started in the courts at Ephrata also,
but about half of them were compro-
missed, too, so that from all appear
ances the Strahorn interest will soon
have the uninterrupted right of way
up the river These facts make 1t i'm
possible to doubt that the North Coast
railroad company means business.
Enormous Plant Contemplated.
The plant contemplated by the
Strahorn interests is an enormous
one. Above the Priest Rapids is a
natural site for an intake and from
the head of the falls the Columbia
Valley Reclamation company, or the
Strahorn interests, ask for right
of-way 1000 feet, miles in length.

Moved the ..Tin" Building.

The Eagle Transfer company
moved the "tin" building to the new
location today. The building was
mounted on skids and the motive
power was supplied by four teams.
A good start was being made yester-
day but somebody said whoa" just
when the horses we're doing their
hardest pulling. After that 1t seemed
impossible to get the four teams to
pull together again and the attempt
had to be abandoned until this morn
ing. Six teams were hooked on this
morning and the move was made
with little trouble.
