SCHLACKS BACK FROM
LONG INSPECTION TRIP
Schumacher's Resignation Will
Delay Roads Organization

Charles II. Schlacks. first vice presi-
dent of the Western Pacific railway.
and C. NJ. Levey, second vice presi-
dent and general manager. returned to
this city last night after a thorough
inspection trip over the new road.
Schlacks has been east for several
weeks and it was expected that the
organization of the traffic department
would be completed during his stay in
New York, but the unexpected resigna-
tion of t. NJ. Schumacher as vice presi-
dent in charge of traffic caused such
organization to be postponed.
Levey went only as far as Salt Lake
City to meet with Schlacks and both
proceeded slowly to this city, inspecting
the road on the trip. With the excep-
tion of a few miles along the border
of Great Salt lake the roadbed of the
Western Pacific is now in good order
and passenger traffic will open about
July 1.
Schlacks has made no selection to
fill the vacancy caused by the resig-
nation of Schumacher.
E. b. Boyd, assistant to the vice
president of the Denver and Rio
Grande at Chicago, has been favorably
mentioned and according to well in
formed railroadmen has an excellent
chance of securing the position.

BOOTLEGGER NABBED
Bill Bell, a Negro BOOtblack, Caught
With Stolen Booze.

The whiskey stolen from the Great
Northern freight car near the wharf
Friday night has been partially re-
covered. Last night Officers Nelson
and Hauser had ''hunch" that it
would be we'll to search the shack
of Bill Bell, the bootblack at the
public comfort station on the bank
corner. His hut is on Columbia
street opposite the site of the We
natchee Milling company.
He was under suspicion last Mon
day when Deputy Sheriff Nelson and
a Great Northern detective called at
the same place with a search war
rant They looked everywhere but
found nothing
When Nelson and Hauser entered
the shack last night, they were told
by the negro to make themselves at
home He acted as though he had
no objections to their making a very
complete search. When the officers
made a move toward a trap door in
the ceiling, Bill was not so anxious
to have them proceed. He remon-
strated and used some oaths which
showed that he was laboring under
more or less excitement.

BOOST FOR THE LIBRARY.

The Woman's club is making a
move in the right direction in urg-
ing the acceptance of the Carnegie
offer for city library. If the wo-
men of the city stand sponsor for a
library, there is no question but
Wenatchee will have one. In these
days women's organizations every
where are doing effective work in
lettering civic conditions, and the
activity of the local organization in
the library question is evidence that
the women of Wenatchee are alive to
their opportunities for civic improve
ment.
A library on the unused corner of
the park would add not only to its
attractiveness but it would be CEN
trally located and convenient.

as an organization its efforts are d.
rected to the securing of more intelli-
gent and efficient government. 1t is
impossible now a days to make the
rural vote the pawn of political ring
sters who flourish in the cities.
1t is noteworthy in this northwest
country how strong a grasp the ru-
raj voters have on political problems.
They know how efficiently the initia-
tive and the referendum operate to
give them a direct control of legis-
lation. They stand by the direct
primary law because they know they
have in their possession a weapon
which gives them a voice in directing
legislation. In short they study their
own needs and they know how to
get legislation to further these
needs.
