vital interest to shippers throughout
Texas, Colorado, Oklahoma AMI Kan
sas, is the case Of the Southwestern
Shippers Traffic Association against

In the four states named, is seeking
to secure a readjustment of rates
from the Atlantic seaboard and also
to get reasonable schedule of rat
ing established from Galveston to
points in Oklahoma, Kansas and Co.
dorado, so that in case of a rate war
or other disturbance of conditions
advantage might be taken of the wa
ter rates from Galveston. The as
ISOLATION charges that Chicago, St.

West, through their trade organiza-
tions, are using their influence to
prevent the proposed reduction in

HONOR CALHOUN )
MEMORY

Charleston, s. c., March 1S.-The
universal regard in which the mem
ory of John C. Calhoun is held was
given expression throughout South
Carolina today by exercises common
Grating the 12Sth anniversary of the
great statesman's birth. Public
schools and numerous literary and
historical societies observed the an
niversary.
Calhoun, whom South Carolina
has unhesitatingly chosen as one OF
her two most famous sons to have
their memory perpetuated in the ma
tional hall of fame, was born in Alb
beville, March IS, 1882. He began
his political career as member OF
the democratic party, but In the
course of his long perior of public
activity he found himself allied at
different times with all the other
parties. Like Clay and Webster, his
most notable contemporaries, he
cherished a lifelong ambition to be
President of the United States.
Though this ambition was never
realized, he was elected twice to the
vice presidency.

ST. PATRICK DAY
BALL
CATHOLIC LADIES ENTERTAIN.
ED AT EAGLE HALL-DANCING
MORNING.

The ball at Eagles hall last night,
given by the Daughters of Erin, was
attended by all the hall would hold.
The dancing started at nine o'clock
and from then till after one this
morning 1t was fast and furious,
stopping only for the basket sale.
This sale might have lasted half the
night If the original plans for auc-
tioning the baskets had prevailed,
but the committee decided that too
much time would be lost and after
auctioning about %, the rest were
sold for fifty cents apiece. Mrs.
Blooms basket brought the highest
price, 1t being sold for three dollars.
When the regular price of fifty cents
was announced the baskets went
speedily and the dance was soon re-
sumed. There were a hundred and
fifty couples on the floor, taxing the
capacity of the hall to the limit, but
the crowd was a friendly one and
the enjoyment stayed at the highest
pitch despite the difficulties OF navi-
cation.
The ball management had not seen
fit to start the electric fans which
were greatly needed. All through
the evening couples were strolling
blocks up the street for ice cream.
The ladies were successful In their
venture and joined with their guests
in pronouncing the ball to be one
of the most enjoyable that has been
held in a long time. A wise choice
of floor committees had been made,
and the hard work of the committee
was one of the features of the even
ing. No one lacked for partners and
the Catholic ladies can feel free to
give another ball at any time AMI
expect last nights crowd again with
more.
The committee having the ball in
charge reported today that $135 had
been cleared and the ladies feel very
much satisfied.

LAKE FOR LARGE ORCHARD.

F. M. Scheble returned today to

let to C. E. Reeder for the irriga-
ton bitches. The pump will be in
stalled at once, and it is the inten-
ton to have water on the ground
early in the season.

WITH GOLD
IMPRESSION IN EASTERN STATES
TO THAT EFFECT - LETTERS
RECEIVED BY COMMERCIAL
CLUB ENLIGHTENING.

The secretary of the Wenatchee
Commercial club is In daily receipt
of letters that are difficult to an
swer. There is an impression among
eastern persons of small means that
the west is a golden paradise.
Today Secretary Coburn had a let
ter from a Boston man who wanted
to come here. The man stated that
he could arrive with 500 for inn
mediate expenses and wanted to
know if the secretary would advise
him to come
The letter is typical OF the letters
that are received at the commercial
club, and it is plain that an impress
sion has gotten out that all an east
ern man need do is to come here
and everything will be all right
Mr.. Coburn thinks that it would
be a good plan for those who are
boosting this country in the east to
always say that there is nothing but
opportunity in the west, and that any
man who comes here stranger and
with hundred dollars will have to
take his chances with the rest.
