Recovering Lost Mail.

About twenty tons of mail from
the Inflated mail train No. 27 which
was caught in the avalanche at Wei
lington March LIST, passed through
this city Sunday. This train picked
up all the mail which had been re-
covered from the wreck at that time
On account of the additional slide
in the mountains Sunday the mail
was routed back to Spokane and
then to Seattle on the Northern Pa
cific. Homer A. Elwell, chief clerk
Of the railway mail service, says
that this is only small part of the
mail which was buried in the wreck
age. There were three cars on No

one Of the cars on No. ~ has been
uncovered. No. Is carried nothing

Agent Piper of the Great Northern
received word this morning from M

of the Great Northern, that the Great
Northern had detoured by way of the
Northern Pacific and North Bank to
Spokane about Is cars of merchan-
disc for Wenatchee originating on
the coast. The first train arrived
here last might and it is expected the
others will show up here during the
day and coming night. 1t is also
expected that some freight will ar
rive here direct from Seattle over
the Great Northern line. There has
been considerable shortage of mer-
chandise of all descriptions and the
arrival of the delayed freight here
will be a God-send.

PROSPECTS
EXCELLENT
GROWERS REPORT THAT THERE
ARE NO EVIDENCES OF INJURY
TO EITHER PEACHES OR AP.
PILES.

The warm weather of the past
week is bringing out the buds on the
fruit trees. Spring work has started
and ON every hand are evidences OF
spring activity. A great portion OF
the pruning has already been done.
Inspector Darlington has advised that
now is the time for certain classes
of spraying, and already some grow
ers have started this work. Reports
of the prospects for crops this fall
are very fattering. The Daily World
interviewed great many of the
growers during the past few days
and has found no one who believes
there has been any injury whatever
to trees this winter Owing to the
fact that there were no peaches in
the valley last fall the trees were
given a rest and it is expected that
the largest peach yield in the history
of the valley will be this fall.
The apple crop also was somewhat
light last fall and consequently the
apple yield also will be the largest
in the history of the valley. Not
only are the prospects the best for
unusual activity in the city during
the coming season, but from all in
dications the growers are going to
be strictly in the swim this fall.

GOVERNOR TO SEEK
PEACE
EXECUTIVE BRINGS OFFICIALS
AT LOGGERHEADS IN CONFER
ENCE AT THE CAPITAL-IN-
VESTIGATE HIGHWAY DEPT.

Olympia, March ia conference
to determine the fate of the twenty
five convicts who recently mutinied
at the Deception Pass quarry and to
attempt to bring about harmonious
relations between the state highway
department and the state board of
control will be held here tomorrow,
at the direction of Gov. Hay.
The sessions will be in the execu-
tive offices and will be attended by
Ed Cowan, A. E. Cagwin and H. F.
Jones, of the board of control; High
way Commissioner Bowlby and G.. S.
= Reed, superintendent of the state
penitentiary.
One of the first matters to be dis
posed of will be to determine who
promised the twenty-five convicts at
Deception that they would be par
doned February 81 last If they
worked hard the preceding six
months, ana who is responsible for
mot procuring those pardons instead
" forcing the men to work weeks
afterward and until they rebelled
and were sent back to prison.
The alleged refusal of Bowlby to
reply to important letters written by
Reed and Bowlby's alleged failure
to repay to the penitentiary many
hundreds of dollars advanced for
transportation of convicts on state
road work will also be discussed.
Generally the whole tangled mess
of misunderstanding and bitterness
will be looked into by the governor
in an effort to get matters working
smoothly If possible.

ROBBERS BLAMED
FOR FIRE
THOUSANDS IN DAVIS-BASSETT
BANK VAULTS SAID TO HAVE
BEEN EYED BY CRACKsMEN-
SECOND ATTEMPT TO LOOT.

Ephrata, March 16.-The worst
fire Ephrata has ever experienced
which Sunday destroyed $4,000
worth of property, was without a
doubt OF incendiary origin, the OBJ
ject being to rob the Davis & Bassett
bank, the safe this time of year con-
tanning many thousands of dollars
paid in taxes.
The ruse did not work. People did
not become as excited as the would
he robbers expected. Residents were
so busy fighting fire and removing
belongings they did not have time
to give the bandits chase.
This is the second time an attempt
has been made to rob the bank In
two years. At the last attempt the
bandits put seven charges of explos-
i've in the safe, but were frightened
away before they got the money
They were run down by Harry ORA
per's blood hounds about Is miles
from Ephrata. and were sentenced
to six years in the state prison in
Walla Walla.

Rev Beightol stated this morning
that he has united in marriage over
one hundred couples in Wenatchee
since he became pastor of the Meth
odist church here. According to
numbers on the marriage licenses
he has officiated at about one-fifth
of all the weddings in the county
during this period. If all these peo-
pie could be assembled they would
make an interesting congregation

teen to sixty-four, and most of the

Il.
ECTR|C RAIL-
v A !
RIGHT OF WAY BEING SECURED
BETWEEN BRIDGEPORT AND
LEAHY - BRIDGE COLUMBIA
AT BRIDGEPORT.

William Kruger, the real estate
man of Bridgeport, is in the city to-
day and states that himself and Ed.
johnson have been empowered by
the Okanogan Electric Railway COM
pany to secure right of way for
that company from Bridgeport to
Leahy. The electric company has al
ready secured right of way through
Okanogan county. The contracts for
right of way provide that they be-
come null and void if the road is
not constructed during the year
1910. The survey for this line has
all been completed and 1t is stated
that the engines for the construction
work have already been purchased,
and it is generally expected that act
i've operations will be commenced in
a short time. The terminal grounds
have been secured in Spokane. The
line runs from Nighthawk down the
Okanogan river to Bridgeport and
from Bridgeport to Leahy and thence
to Spokane.
Today the bill passed the senate
granting the Okanogan Electric Rail-
way company the privilege of con-
structing a bridge across the Colum-
bia river at Bridgeport. There is a
natural bridge site there and it is
said that a double decked bridge can
be constructed at that place for APP
proximately 100000. The company
offers to construct bridge of this
character providing the citizens do
nate one-fourth of the cost of the
bridge and it is expected that the
Bridgeport citizens with the aid of
Okanogan and Douglas counties will
have no difficulty in securing this
amount The lower deck will be
used for the wagon road, the upper
for the electric railway. The Okano-
gan line is to be operated by cleo
tricity and power has been developed
on the Spokane river for the opera
ton of this line. The company also
owns valuable power rights on the
Similkameen river near Nighthawk.

TO SELL WATER SYSTEM
Members of City Council Last Night Agreed to En-
terrain Proposition Tending to the Transfer
of Municipal Plant to Corporation
Which Could Give Service

Matters in the city council took a
queer turn last highland for the
good. Wenatchee owns its water
system but it has not the capital to
put in the system needed here, nor
has it the capital to provide the ex-
tensions that it's rapidly growing
population demand. Mayor Gellatly
on last night asked the members OF
the council what they thought of the
sale of the water system to some
corporation which would give assur-
ance of furnishing the service re-
quired. All seven members present
expressed themselves as heartily in
favor of selling.
Roughly figuring, the city water
plant has cost the city about $780,
900. The revenue now amounts to
about $1,400 per month. The cost
Of taking care of the system amounts
to about $500 per month, leaving a
net revenue of about $1,000 per
month. This $1,000 per month,
however, is not sufficient to build the
extensions that are required. The
governing body believes that If a
corporation should take over the
plant that it would be possible to go
to the Icicle for water and the same
company might furnish water for
Leavenworth, Cashmere and also fur
nish water for irrigation and do
nestle purposes all over the valley,
making the investment a splendid
revenue payer. The city officials be-
lieve ultimately that it will be neces-
sary to go to the Icicle for water,
but this cannot be until the city
valuation reaches $10,000,000, or
between four and five times the pres
emit assessed valuation. In the mean
time the city will have to be salts
fed with Columbia river water. In
case the city should later on secure
a source of water supply elsewhere
the improvements that have been
made In the system would not be
wasted.
One of the great problems that has
confronted the council for years has
been that of handling the water ques-
ton. 1t has taken more time and at
tention than any other problem and
it is far from being settled at the
present time. 1t is safe to say that
there will be plenty of water for the
coming summer, and it will be good
water, too, but while the supply is
good, yet the water fund will not be
sufficient to maintain the running ex-
penses and put in the many extern
sions that the citizens are praying
for. A new pipe will be required for
Mission street This will require
over $4,000 for the pipe besides the
laying of it. The water commission
er has estimated that he will require
from $4,000 to $1,000 worth of pipe
in other places and with the growth
of the city there is constant expense
and naturally the members of the
council will be pleased to entertain
q proposition from some corporation
that will give the city fair treatment
and has the money to develop the
system to meet the demands.

He HATES SPEAKER
CANNON
BUT HALTEMAN SAYS HE is NOT
AN INSURGENT AT ALI-WILL
TRAIN WITH MAJORITY AND
WOULD GO TO CONGRESS.

w. A. Halteman, who has twice
represented Ferry county in the state
legislature, is preparing to shy his
caster into the congressional politi-
cal ring in the Third district.
Mr.. Halteman has more recently
been in the public eye as an execu-
tive commissioner for the state COM
mission at the Alaska-Y ukon-Pacific
exposition. He has started out to
make a canvass of the Third district
with a view of becoming a candidate
to succeed Miles Poiniexter
Isn't Certain Yet.
Mr.. Halteman has not yet decided
whether or not he will enter the con-
test. Not until he has fully can
vassed the situation will he make up
his mind, but he has decided lean
ings in the direction of the national
capital, and as the time is short to
the September primaries, he is going
to visit every county in the district
and confer with the leaders.
More than 20 years ago Mr.. Hate
man came to Washington from Ohio,
first settling at Port Townsend. He
engaged in the newspaper business
there.
Not an Insurgent.
In national politics Mr.. Halteman
says he is opposed to Cannon and all
that the speaker represents, but he
asserts that he is not an insurgent.
IF I should go to congress my
vote would be against Cannon while
there was any voting to be done, but
IL / found myself in a minority after
the votes were counted, then I would
vote with the majority, with my par
ty, because / am a republican always
and believe in majority rule" he
said yesterday. 81 am opposed to
Cannon; don't like his methods, but
I believe it is necessary to have rules
for the governing of the house; that
rules are essential In order to ex-
pedite the business OF the session !
believe that Cannon has not kept
pace with the house; he appeals to
me much in the light of an old-fash-
toned politician who is out of tune
with the times and modern political
progress and methods.
Mr.. Halteman expressed himself as
In favor of tariff commission. in IA
vor Of charging the powers of the
interstate commerce commission. and
as favordng the parcels post and pos
