The only trained canary this side Of

in ri Paso. the pet property of Mrs
W. B. Hilliard, of GIL Magoffin avenue.
Its name is Dixie Dixie has a mate
which sings her husbands praises, but
that is about the limit of her attain

is enshrouded in the name Of wife"
She is content like a god wife, to let
Dixie get all the press notices This

cage He fits about the room filling
it with melody. The room is his stage.

Every time the friend comes for a visit
the bird trills a roundelay of greeting

Alicia lent the money more because
she feared ridicule than from any real
desire to oblige Underwood She had
long since become disguised with him.
The mans real character was now
plainly revealed to her. He was an
adventurer, little better than a COM
mon crook. She congratulated her
self on her narrow escape. Suppose
she had married him-the horror of
it, Yet the next instant she was
filed with CONSERVATION. She had
allowed him to become so intimate
that it was difficult to break OF with
him all at once. She realized that
with a man of that character the in
evitable must come. There would be
a disgraceful scandal. She would be
mixed up in it, her husbands eyes

of So Many Teachers.

Clifton Ariz., April ga petition.
signed by d large number of parents

ial mana cement, they can be more
economically handled. Concentrating
the advanced grades with the advan-
tage Of a union school they can De

instructors. That the money thus saved
can be expended on the lower grades

thereby securing a larger attendance
and an increase in the percentage Of
apportionment

and at the end of the week will pre-
sent it 10 the board of supervisors of

GOLD DISCOVERED NEAR
TUCUMCARI CAUSES RUSH.

Recent reports of the discoveries of
gold in paying quantities south of Tu-
cumcari, N NJ. says the Sun of that city.
Is arousing considerable interest. and
many mining claims are being taken
up in the vicinity of the mining camp.
There is no doubt that gold has been
discovered in paying quantities. and if
the field should prove as extensive as
IT seems to promise, ii Will develop into
something of great importance to that
section of New Mexico. About sixty
mining claims have been recorded by the
probate clerk Of Quay county during the
past month, one man having filed on
20 claims. Samples of the ore sent
in TO Tucumcari, are very rich in gold.

TAFT'S INTEREST IN DAM

Felix Martinez who has returned
from business trip to Albuquerque
has positive assurance from president
Taft, through r. F. Burgess, that the
treaty between the United States and
Mexico regarding the building Of the
Elephant Butte dam viii be carried as
specified. However, the president does
not wish TO do anything until the bill
for the irrigation bonds is passed by the
lower house, a thing which he is sure
will be done before congress adjourns,

in Mexico again.

Hearing of Freight Rates.

Chicago, Aug. 29.-One of the
most important commercial battles
in the history of the United States
was inaugurated today with the ar
rival of the members of the inter-
state commerce commission to begin
their inquiry into the proposed ad-
vances in freight rates recently an
nounced by the roads of the Western
Trunk Line association. The roads
involved number over 200 and in
clude' virtually all of the important
transportation lines in the western
trunk line, transit Missouri and Illi-
nois freight committee territories. 1t
will probably be several months be-
fore the taking of testimony is COM
pleted. The traffic and other Off
Gals of the railroads will endeavor
to convince the commission that the
roads are in need of a general and
marked advance in freight rates. OPP
posing them will be a large number
of prominent shippers and shippers
organizations, who will contend that
the increase demanded is entirely
unwarranted by evisting conditions.

r. B. Martin Spoke Last
Night on Civic Right
eOuSneSS.

You men of Wenatchee take great
pride in your orchards, your brick
blocks and your spirit of enterprise,
and are much interested in the re-
turns which you receive from your
investments, but want to say to you
that the greatest asset of this valley
consists in your boys and girls" said
R. B. Martin, who addressed a large
audience at the Baptist church last
night on the subject of civic right
eouSness. He touched, incidentally,
on the question of woman's suffrage
Mr.. Martin has spent several years
in rescue work in the slumS of sew
eral large cities of the middle west
and he speaks with a clear cOmpre-
hension of the subject he discusses,
obtained from personal experience
and investigation. He believes that
the greatest corrective of unjust social
conditions is to be found in stimu-
lating general interest in the selec-
ton of men for legislative positions
who can be depended on to enact
laws which will help root out rather
than intrench those agencies which
tend to debauch society.
Mr.. Martin is making a tour of the
state under the direction of the state
grange. 1T is to the farmers of the

Ed. Reeder, of Wenatchee, was a
visitor in town Monday, called here
with other members of his family by
the serious illness of his brother,
Jack. Mr.. Reeder is an old resident
of Douglas county. He stuck to the
soil through the most discouraging
days of that section, that was slow
coming to the front, with the result
that he is now the owner of many
valuable acres, and far better fixed
than others who tried their fortunes
elsewhere He lives in a celebrated
fruit country, and his opinion as to
fruit land has weight. He declares
that this part of the Okanogan val
ley is the most promising he has ever
seen. So favorably impressed is he
that he will return and endeavor to
get hold of some of the orchard land
in this vicinity-Oroville Gazette.
The Wenatchee daily world. [volume] (Wenatchee, Wash.) 1905-1971, 1910-08-29

state,'' said he, that many earnest
men and women of the cities where
the social evils are intrenched are
looking for help, and the farmers are
studying political and social prob
lens more deeply now than ever be-
fore because they realize that evils
which effect one locality injure the
whole body polite as WELL" He
urged the voters in his audience to
disregard strict party considerations
and to scrutinize closely the qualifi-
cations and the integrity of the men
to whom they entrust the making of
the laws.
In regard to the question of wet
or dry Wenatchee, the speaker de-
clared that the man who would
place a mere money consideration
above the welfare Of the boys and
girls of the community was possessed
of cheap and contemplate spirit.
He believed that civic pride would
prevent the voters of Wenatchee from
taking a backward step on the liquor
question.
Mr.. Martin is doing some effective
work in bringing to the thoughtful
consideration of voters the necessity
of acting independently and intelli-
gently on all questions which affect
the social and economic welfare of
the state.

Investigating the Valley.

DR.. and Mrs. F. T. Doud, of In
dianapolis, Ind, arrived Friday from
the west. They came here direct
from Hood River, where careful
investigation of the orchard PROPOSE
ton was made. The same purpose is
the object of the visit here They
will be at the Gilman hotel for sew
eral days and will make daily trips
through the valley looking at or
chards and becoming acquainted with
the ranchers.
The doctor and his wife are friends
of E. ]. Freany, of Orondo. 1t is
their intention to spend several days
with him at his ranch before leaving
this section. If convinced of the su-
perior advantages of the Wenatchee
country as fruit district it is prob
able that the doctor will invest here.
