ty commissioners throughout the

ing fund of from one to three mills

purpose of building a trunk line or

built from time to time, each way
from said commercial center in the

further, that county commissioners
be permitted to invest the funds so
accumulated in county or school war;
rants from time to time, until the
fund so accumulated shall have
reached, say, the sum of $4,000;
and that when the said fund has so
accumulated it may be mandatory
upon county commissioners to pro-
coed, with the assistance of their
county engineers, to build as much
trunk line or lines as the funds at
their command will permit
And, provided further, that the
said trunk line or lines be uniform
in their character throughout the
state; and that the legislature pres
cribe by legal enactment whether the
said roads or trunk lines be con-
structed of gravel, macadam or other

Wilton Lackaye, Actor, Puts Blame
for the Bad Shows on the
Women.

Chicago, Feb. 1S.-Women's clubs
of Chicago are angry over an address
delivered by Wilton Lackake, the
actor, in which he declared that wo-
men are in the main responsible for
the fact that bad" plays are pro-
duced.
What good can come from show
ing scenes on the stage that would
be raided by the police if they show
ed two doors from the theatre?"
Lackake asked "If women would
only set their faces against objec-
tionable plays, instead of flocking to
them, we would soon be rid Of them.
''It is appalling, the difference of
the ordinary. intelligent parents to
the affairs of the theatre. A little
domestic censorship would be Of en-
ormous benefit"

The Fats WaIIop the Leans Fl to 1s

Those who gathered at the ball park
last Sunday to witness the game be-
tween the fats and leans sure got their
moneys worth, as there was some
thing doing all the time. Some emf
nent disciple said, nobody loves a
fat man. but then there are exceptions.
as everybody loved him on this oc-
casion.
The big show began at three o'clock
and although only six innings were
played it was nearly six o'clock before
the last man was declared out.
Sensational plays were numerous.
Both sides were credited with a home
run apiece. Charley Taylor for the
leans and Pete Lee for the fats being
the lucky ones. Following are those
who took part, and a few facts worth
mentioning.
Fats-Charley Fox p, Campbell p,
Blocksedge C, Lee 1b, 0. S. Sampson

Concerning the Players.
Sam Potter must have thought 3
cyclone struck him when Fatty Davis
bumped into him at End.
John Adams pitched a good game
but was little wild.
Pete Lee played awful rotten ball,
and just think Of it-he played with the
champs this year, too.
A. Brown couldn't see why he
should be called out when he went
from 1st to End on a caught fly ball.
Elliott had the umpire guessing fol
minute, when he threatened to lick
him.
We believe that o. S. Sampson, al
though nearly twice as heavy as hi:
brother, George, can run twice as fast

Elmer V. Boise died at the residence
of Mrs. A. J. Martin, August 80, of
catarrh of the stomach, aged "a years
and 10 months. Brief funeral services
were held over the remains at the home
of Mrs. Martin, conducted by Rev.
Davis, pastor OF the Congregational
church. The remains were sent to
Wenatchee Tuesday afternoon. The
deceased came here from Wenatchee
in company with his mother about six
weeks ago, when some hopes were en-
tertained of ultimate recovery.
Engineer Jack Farrell returned last
Saturday from St. Paul, where he went
two months ago as the representative
from the local lodge of fremen in
conference with the railroad authorities
on matters of interest to the brother
hood. He spent two weeks Of his
time visiting his old home, Montreal,
Canada. He is one of the happy fam
lily Of three, who are somewhat scat
tered Just now. Ed LEM is visiting
at his old home, Oshkosh, Wis, and
Toney Blomeke has taken run be-
tween Seattle and Portland. Jack looks
lost with neither of his side partners
here.
Robert B. Field and Frank Carlquist
left here last Friday for Kennewick,
Wash, and returned Monday after
noon. Speaking of his trip, Mr.. Carl
quist said he was disappointed in Ken
newick, and would not exchange his
residence in the Wenatchee valley for
the former place under any consider
alton. He says the fruit trees in the
Kennewick country do not look vigor-
Gus and healthy, nor do the people take
the same care of them, from which he
concludes that fruit growing in that vi
cinity is not so profitable as it is in the
Wenatchee country or the trees would
be given more attention. He thinks
the owners of orchards in this region
devote so much attention to fruit trees
because they have found fruit raising
the most profitable of all industries.
He says around Kennewick he saw
some fine meadows, and concluded
that hay raising must be the most
profitable industry there.

MORE TALK ABOUT LONG TUNNEL
Must Be Built, Says Seattle Man, to Main
tain Supremacy

The threatened commercial suprem-
acy Of Portland over the country east
Of the Cascade mountains may lead to
the starting OF the projected long bore
of the Great Northern from a point on
Pine creek to Scenic. Frederick Baus-
man, a Seattle man, who has just re-
turned from a trip to Europe, is thus
quoted:
Portland is no more an inland city
than many of Europe's greatest marts, "
said Mr.. Bausman to a Wenatchee
World reporter. Cities grow where
agricultural interests center, and ship
ping must admit itself to such condi-
TONS" He named a dozen of Eu-
ropes greatest cities that are shipping
centers, far from the tide like Portland,
and asserted that the greatness Of those
cities lay in the fact that they were ag-
ricultural bases and that the shipping
had to come to them.
Agriculture" he went on to say,
comes before any other consideration.
1t is the base of things, and unless a
tunnel is driven thru the Cascade
range Portland is the agricultural cen
ter OF the northwest"
