THEODORE ROOSEVELT
STILL A LIVING FORCE
Views Of Senator Crawford Ex-
pressed While Discussing the
Administration Railroad Bill.

Quoting the annual message of Presi-
dent roosevelt of 1905 in support of the
proposition that the railroads should be
permitted to enter into traffic agreements
Senator Crawford of South Dakota today
asserted that Mr.. Roosevelt was still "a
living force, Notwithstanding he may not
be President.
'It makes no difference" he said
whether he Is in the jungles of Africa or
in some discussion in Rome, or is in vi
emma, or Paris, or London, he still is a
living force, and believe he will con-
tinue to be 50 long as he lives"
Urges an Amendment.
Mr.. Crawford was speaking in sup
port of his own amendment to the
railroad bill permitting the railroads
to enter into such agreements. He
further asserted that Mr.. Roosevelt
was the foremost figure in the United
States and gave credit to him for
putting more life into the agitation
for railroad legislation than any one
else and forcing Congress to act.
The ex-President was lauded as
"the bold knight" Of his time, who led
the fight for the reform, and his COM
mendation of the specific legislation
in question was held up as worthy of
all emulation and imitation.
Il have been a follower Of his and
still am" said Mr.. Crawford, as he
proceeded with his quotations.

Promises to Devote Himself to
Taft Legislative Program.

Anxious That Public Opinion Shall
Credit His Acts.
CANNON ALSO WILL GIVE AID
Insurgents and Regulars to Get
Together to Present United Front
Under Administration Banner.

Most Of the remaining ten and a half
months Of Senator Aldrich's congressional
career has been pledged by him to the
business of putting through those legis-
lative measures which President Taft
considers are demanded by the country.
This pledge. 1t Is said today, is made
for two reasons. Genuine affection for
and confidence in President Taft and in
his devotion to the interests Of the coun-
try is one reason. The second reason is
founded on the hope of Senator Aldrich
to reverse the judgment of public opinion
in many parts Of the nation which dis
credits his public acts. He would over
come this prejudice. which he regards as
an unfair estimate of his character and
motives and public spirit.

Aldrich Talks With Taft.
Senator Aldrich spent more than half
an hour with President Taft this morning
going over the legislative situation in the
Senate and asking the Presidents wishes
along certain lines. So far as his own
views are concerned, they will be rele-
gated to the rear. Whatever President
Taft wants that seems to promise credit
to the administration will be adopted by
the Rhode Island leader and pushed py
him.
"A sincere purpose to reflect credit upon
the President has been expressed by Sen
ator Aldrich to several most intimate
profoundest hope that all legislation put
through at this session will be acceptable
to the country at large.
:. In the final struggle to take place In
the Senate over the railroad bill. the pur-
pose of Senator Aldrich will be directed
toward perfecting a bill that will meet.

Cannon Also to Work for President.
Speaker Cannon has announced to init
mate friends lately determination to
give his best efforts to putting Taft legis-
lation through the House and to work
against all impediments that may be
thrown In the way. The whole republican
side Of the House, it Is stated, has awak-
ened to necessity OF standing by the
/ resident to the fullest extent and giving
him Just what he thinks, as the leader OF
the party, will most suit the country.
The trend of the special congressional
elections has stirred regulars and insur-
gents and shown the wisdom of uniting
er of the party for the effect it will have
in the coming elections. A divided party
means, 1t is frankly admitted. sure DEM
ocratic victory, while a united party,
means q possible turning Of the tide be-
tween now and November.
President Taft has been told by repub-
lican leaders and advisers that the New
York and Massachusetts special elections
will be of 'inestimable value in bringing
together republican factions that have
been flying at one another's threats, at
least bringing them together for the COM
ing campaign, reserving serious differ
ences for some other occasion.
An agreement has about been reached
In the House that after the railroad bill
is out of the way caucuses will be held
by the republicans upon the postal saw
ings bank and anti-injunction bills, and
that both will be reported in practically
the shape wished by President Taft

DREAMS Of A YEAR
AGO 0UTD0NE
TO REALIZATION OF
WHAT HAS BEEN ACCOM-
PLISHED - SEEMINGLY VAIN
IMAGININGS BECOME FACTS

Looking backward to this time a
year ago when Wenatchee avenue re-
sembled 4 village street with its
wooden walks AMI sidehi,l thorough
fare, a promincn: teal estate MAJ
dwelt on the changes that have
taken place in the brief interval.
Then there were persons who ex-
pected boom conditions, and hesitat-
ed about making improvements of
any permanence.
Despite that hesitation the avenue
has now reached the point where on
ly the finishing touches need to be
considered. The wires are still
above the street, and there are no
cluster lights, but those considera-
tons would be in advance of ordin-
airy cities of this size. The rural
citizens meet the sudden changes
with a shocked sensation. They have
hard time learning that the speed
irg traffic on the avenue can no
longer bend around their wagons.
He thinks of the three-story build
ings going up, not only on the ave-
nue. but on the side streets, too. One
year ago three-story buildings looked
like CANDLES. Now the big financial
men are figuring out the values of
square feet to see if the conditions
warrant five stories or whether area
is still cheaper than the air.
Across the river residents want a
highway over there. They want 16
miles of macadam and suggest that
the county commissioners put them
in a district and bond them for the
means to build a first class road, up
and down the river.
While the values of apple lands
may be open to some dispute, there
is no dispute about the amounts that
can be borrowed from the loaning
companies. First class land is good
for loans of $500 per acre from old
line conservative concerns Many
loans are made for higher amounts,
but the large outside concerns ack-
nowledga such ratios of valuations.

Police Notes.

Speculation on the street Is rife as
to whether police officer Van Landing
ham saw the comet few nights ago,
or whether it was something else that
he saw. Two moons on the bridge at
midnight, and various other things
have been seen, by others than the
police force but when an officer in a
dry town sees comets while prowling
through the alleys back of Wenatchee
avenue considerable interest is Great
ed. Officer Hauser was with Van
Landingham but was not interested in
comets.
officer Nelson is making a record
as an employment agent. Since the
busy season began he has found ranch
jobs for a great many men. Growers
coming into town hunt him up and
with his knowledge of the men about
the streets Mr.. Nelson locates men
with little trouble.
Chief Inscho is still in the Okano-
gan arresting codliug moths.

lis characterized as scab-rock land
but several hundred acres of which
could be placed under water.
The plan of the Seattle people
should the deal go through, is to use
the water from Richardson lake for
irrigation, and to cut the property
into five and ten acre tracts. 1t has
been demonstrated that this valley
lis equally as well adapted to fruit
raising ana the soil as prolific as

AN OPPORTUNITY FOR WH0[ESAuNG

various things that make the stock of

good opening there for a special store

There are two doctors and one

Country Growing Fast.
A notable instance of the rapid
growth of the country is shown in the
recent transfer of the E. V. Cooke
place near Mansfield. Two hundred
and forty acres of fine land, sold at
an advance of $40 an acre since the
railroad came. He called attention to
the long train of freight that goes into
the country daily. That is another
instance of the rapid growth of the
country. When the river boat was the
only means of transportation it is
certain that less freight was taken in.
He thinks that one reason why so
much more freight is going in so sud-
denly is that the railroad has had the
effect of lowering prices and the farm
ers can use more than they could
formerly afford to buy.

WILL PREACH ON
WHITE PLAGUE

Having received a letter from DR.
E. R. Kelly, assistant secretary Of

prevention and Cure of tuberculosis,
stating that in accordance with the
general plan of the national govern
ment, Sunday, April "a, has been
named as day for special mention
of the causes and the cure of con-
sumption, Rev. Johnson has an
nounced that he will preach upon
the subject next Sunday morning.
Feeling that as Jesus went about
healing the sick and curing the
blind so also his church ought to do
what it can to relieve human mis-
cry. He says: more people die
every year of tuberculosis than if
q war should sweep the country No
class of society can escape it's raw
ages, and yet it is due to prevent
able conditions and the plague ought
to be wiped out in the nation within
two decades. 1 will speak of the
causes of the spread, and of the sug-
gestions for the prevention of the
disease. The government has recog~
nized the necessity Of great publicity
of facts in regard to it, and it be-
comes the duty of every citizen to
cooperate in preventing the spread
and wiping out the conditions that
make it possible"

TROUBLE IN SECURING

OF ways. He was here one day this
week and stated that he could do
no business with number of the
land owners between Chelan Falls
and Pateros. One man along the
river had one acre of ground where
the survey runs and he wanted S.
900 damages. These seems to be- a
general desire on the part of the
property owners affected by the line
of the Great Northern to get all pos
sible out of the railway company ana
in number of instances exorbitant
claims have been made. Just what
the company will definitely decide to
do has not yet been determined, but
that is one of the problems the Hills
will be called upon to settle when on

TEACHERS GETTING
MORE PAY

Miss Alice G. Fisher, one of the
county's we'll known and popular
teachers, has accepted a nine months
position in District As, the Lower
Stemilt. The salary paid by the dis
trict is $S4 a month, an increase of
81 over last year. That is the next
highest salary paid in the county,
there being one at Peshastin of over
$50.
County School Superintendent
Bowersox states that the salaries paid
to teachers in this county are stead
lily rising, and that there is demand
for good teachers. The best teach
ers naturally prefer the city, and
work their way into the cities as
quickly as they can. This compels
the country districts to have the
weaker ones. The country districts
in turn are beginning to pay larger
salaries all the time in order to give
their pupils advantages equalling
those of the city The lowest sal
airy paid in the county is $50, but
the advanced ideas of the western
orchardists of the country districts
are creating an ever-increasing de-
mand for higher teaching talent.
