The Right Of Way.
From the New York Tribune.


Grade crossings Of railroads should be
abolished wherever It IL practicable to
do SO. That proposition Is. we believe.
little short Of automatic. Where they
cannot at present be abolished there
should be gates or other devices for the
safety of the public, at least In the neigh
borhood Of populous centers. That also Is
indisputable. And II goes without say
ing that where there are gates they
should be used and the gateman should
be vigilant and alert in the performance
Of his duties. Nevertheless, caveat viator!
1t Is the part OF wisdom. II is a precept
Of discretion, II Is an imperative duty to
self, that he who crosses a railroad track
should look out for the locomotive. No
man in the possession Of normal facul-
ties crosses a railroad track without
knowing 1t. Nor is he ignorant Of the
fact that the railroad train has the right
OF way along its rails and that 1t Is for
him who crosses them to look out for
his own safety. 1t Is no hardship to do
So Not one traveller in ten thousand is
legitimately In too much OF hurry to
obey the familiar admonitiOn to stop
look, listenr' And not one accident would
occur II that rule were followed.

DIR. Gilman Is about to make public the

W0RTHEN MILL COMPANY
To REBUILD IMMEDIATELY
Stockholders of the Company Decide to Put in New
Machinery at Once -Worthen Goes to Seattle to Buy
Equipment Be Saving Boxes Again by Mon
day, July 10 $1,000 Insurance on Burned Plant.

AS an example of the pluck of the
stockholders of the Worthen Mill
company a new mill is to be rebuilt
at once Machinery will be ordered
and according to the statement Of
one of the stockholders Of the COM
pany boxes will be rolling out one
week from next Monday. Frank
Black and j. G. Startup, of Seattle,
stockholders of the company, are in
the city today. They have looked
over the situation and together with
H. S. Worthen have planned the i'm
mediate reconstruction.
Mr.. Worthen, when seen by a
Daily World reporter, today said:
You may state for me that l am
going to Seattle tomorrow night
where 1 will order the machinery
and get it over here Immediately.
We will get everything together as
quickly as possible and we will be
saving out boxes one week from
Monday"
Mr.. Worthen was especially pleas
ed on account of the fact that those
who had bought boxes stated their
willingness to wait for their orders.
This move on behalf of those having
contracted for boxes will be especial
ly gratifying to the people of Wenat-
chez as it is on this account that the
mill will be rebuilt so soon.
There was about $4,000 insur-
ance on the burned plant and some
of the companies holding the policies
have already settled.

GETS AWAY WITH
EASY MONEY
Get Rich Quick Scheme
Works Fine Man
Makes $50.

Simply saying that he had money in
the bank, w. H. Watson, once of
Leavenworth but not now, secured
$50 on his personal check from the
Pastime Pool Parlors in this city.
Watson came here to enjoy the
Fourth and enjoyed himself so we'll
that he used up all his money.
Then he sought A. J. Clement, soda
shooter at the Pastime, whom he had
met at ball game in Leavenworth
once upon time. He borrowed $40
from Mr.. Clement and promised to
pay it back in the morning. After
sort of fashion he did pay the mon
ey hack. He wrote his personal check
for $50 and cashed that with Mr..
Clement and left ostensibly for Lea
venworth.
His check was cashed by Mr.. Gle
ment at the First National Bank and
was sent to the Tumwater Savings
Bank at Leavenworth. From there
the check floated back to Wenatchee
and thence along the lines of least
resistance toward the sheriff's office
where it metamorphosed itself into
a warrant with grand larceny ingre-
dents.
County Attorney Kemp made some
investigations and found that Mr..
Watson had been employed as book
keeper for the Leavenworth Furni-
ture & Hardware company, and that
he had never, at any time, had any
money in the Leavenworth bank.
Mr.. Watson is still at large, living
in luxury on his easy money, but the
sheriff's Office of Chelan county has
a way of finding easy-money experts
that promises another story for the
Daily World at an early date
Mr. Watson is a young man, about
% years old, 5 feet, 1-2 inches tall,
smooth shaven and dark complexion.

IMMIGRATION
Writes A. A. Piper as to
Why Settlers Have
Quit Coming.

A. A. Piper, Great Northern agent
at Wenatchee, was recently in re-
ceipt of letter from Mayor Harry
J. Kerr, of Okanogan. The letter is
as follows:
The Okanogan country expected
a considerable number of people this
spring, but up to date they have not
arrived. l am very anxious to know
the reason why. Would you be kind
enough to advise me what you know
of the situation and as to whether
or not Wenatchee has been getting
the usual number of new people this
year so far. If it has not, what, in
your judgment is the reason? Have
you reasons to expect any consider
able amount of new people this sum-
mer?"
In answer to the above, Mr.. Piper
wrote Mr. Kerr as follows:
I'VE have given your letter of
May 18th much thought and it was
the subject of much newspaper COM
ment at the time you wrote us, but
l find that failed to give you for
NAL answer.
Il believe the Wenatchee valley
has Jared about the same as your
country as far as spring immigra-
ton is concerned. Numerous rea-
sons have been assigned but we be-
lieve the best one is on account of
the pardonable pride on the part
of our land owners and real estate
men in advertising and talking high
land values. This is detrimental
as those not familiar with the true
merits of high classed fruit land de-
eide at once that it is not the place
for them. Another reason is the
present condition of finances; an
other that a great many of our visit
ors from the east, instead of passing
through this section ON their way to
the Sound, switch south at Spokane
and reach Portland over the S. P.
& S. r. R. or are gobbled up by Spo-
kane real estate men. We never see
them if Spokane can get their ear. a"

Los Angeles, Cal, July 9.-Sport-
ing men are skeptical regarding the
report that Jeffries might challenge
Jack Johnson for a return match.
Since his return Jeffries has had lit
tie to say except that he would re-
tire to his alfalfa farm and shut him
self in against the world for time.
He expressed a belief that with the
nervous strain of the battle of a
century" eliminated he could make a
much better showing against the
champion in a return match. This
probably gave rise to the report that
he would seek another match. In
reality Jeffries has little intention
of returning to the ring. Manager
Berger intimated that they might
have an important statement to make
on the subject soon.

Rem RICE MAKES A
DENIAL
Statements of New York
Produce Merchants
Are Refuted.

Charges that the management of
the National Apple show is misrep-
resenting the probable demand for
apples in Europe are made by w. N.
White & Co., produce merchants of
New York, and are refuted by Rem
H. Rice, manager of the show.
In a recent letter to the Lewiston
Commercial club the New York firm
stated that the apple show authori-
ties were misrepresenting the for
eign demand. They claimed that
the local men predicted that exports
this year would demand 100000
boxes, while the greatest previous
expectation was only 510,1O7 boxes.
Rice denied that any such esti-
matei had ever been made.

SPRAY ON THURSDAY
Says July 14th Is Spraying Day for
Third Attack on Second BrOd.

Professor r. E. Trumble finds,
Thursday is the day for the third
spraying of the second brood of
worms. The second brood is always
the largest brood of the season.
Mr.. Tumble says that a fine, misty
spraying, completely covering the ap-
pie, is all that is necessary. When
the apples are sprayed so much that
the solution drips off no extra good
is accomplished and the arsenic is
not beneficial to the soil.
Three gallons to ten-year-old tree
is the usual quantity.
