CRUISE Of CAPITOL
LANDS COMPLETED
MEETING OF STATE COMMITS
SION TO BE HELD MARCH 10
CRUISE ON STATE LANDS.

Governor Hay has sent out his call
for meeting of the state capitol
commission to be held in the execu-
tive Offices Saturday, March 10. At
this meeting Cruiser H. D. McCool
will make his report on the detail
valuations and appraisement of the
timber included in the state capitol
lands grant, which the commission
was instructed by the last legislature
to have cruised, put on the market
and sold in order to raise money to
build the new 100000 capitol in
Olympia.
The commission was organized
year ago and the timber lands on the
west side of the Cascades have been
cruised by men under McCool. He
has made his report, showing that
the timber and lands are worth be-
tween 100000 and $5,000,000, al
though the 1907 legislature regarded
them as merely myth" The COM
mission then decided to have Nc
Cool take up his report in detail and
place a valuation upon the various
kinds of timber by sections, quarter
sections and in ten-acre lots so that
when the same is advertised the COM
mission will know the exact value OF
the tract being placed on the mar
ket.
McCool has been at work on this
since early in January and his re-
port is now ready for submission
Governor Hay announced that he
was ready to make the call, follow
ing a conference with Senator Alex
Poison of Hoquiam, who was in
Olympia recently.

VICTORY FORLOCAL
MERCHANTS
FURNISHINGS FOR ELMAN HO-
TEL BOUGHT IN WENATCHEE
= LOCAL MERCHANTS STOOD
TEST OF COMPETITION.

The new Elman hotel will soon be
in readiness for occupancy. E. L.
Mann has just finished purchasing
the furnishings from local merchants
and states that he found he could
buy here to better advantage than
he could in Seattle or Spokane.
The beds in the single rooms are
of the new folding pattern that is
becoming so popular in eastern
places. The bath rooms are arrang-
ed at a slight elevation above the
main floor and the beds slide into a
compartment underneath. 1t is
claimed that the sanitary protection
from that arrangement is better than
from the old fashioned way, as an
air shaft connects with the compart-
ment and the beds receive blast OF
fresh air all day long.
All the furnishings of the hotel are
in keeping with the most modern
ideas and it is sure to be one of the
most popular houses on the road
during the coming season.
Mr.. and Mrs. E. L. Mann leave
for Seattle today for short visit.

HURLED HIGH N AIR
By EXPLOSION
HANGOVER FUSE LETS GO ON
GREAT NORTHERN WORK AND
ITALIAN is INJURED, NEAR
WELLINGTON.

Wellington, Wash, March a.
Patsy Impera is in the Leavenworth
hospital today after being blown 40
feet through the air in a powder ex-
plosion on the work of clearing the
Great Northern tracks here. Impera
is an expert powder handler. He had
lighted a fuse and, thinking it fail
ure, started back with another. The
first fuse came to life just as he
reached the blast. He will live.
Partially as a result of Impera's
injuries and other unforeseen obsta-
cles, the line was not cleared last
night. The first through train is
promised Wellington today, however.
The 10th body recovered from the
avalanche is that of Rev. James
Thompson of Bellingham. The bodies
of Wells, a brakeman, and Gus Err
bert, or Siebert, a track walker, have
also been recovered.

NEXT WEEK
EXPEDITION READY TO ESTAB.
LISH TRUTH OR FALSITY OF
COOKS CLAIMS-BASE ESTAB.
LISHED LAST FALL.

Advices from Alaska state that the
Tom Lloyd expedition for the ascent
of Mt Mckinley will begin the ac-
tual climb this week or early next.
The party left Fairbanks last De-
cember and established a base Of
supplies preparatory to the effort to
reach the summit. If the project is.
successful it is expected to estab-
lish the truth or falsity Of DR.. Cooks
claim of having reached the top Of
the mountain.
The trip, while not exactly in the
nature Of a wager, was undertaken
by Lloyd, an old time miner, to prove
that it is practical. w. H. McPhee
and Dave Petree, two we'll known
Fairbankers, have put up $1,000 that
some member of the Lloyd party will
reach the summit of Mt. Mckinley
before July A.
The members of the party are Tom
Lloyd, Robert Horn, w. r. Taylor,
Charles McGonigIe, C.. e. Davidson
and William Lloyd. The latter, how
ever, will not participate in the ac-
tual climb.

CONTEST CLOSING
CLOSE
DANGER OF DRAW BETWEEN OP-
POSING TEAMS-RED LETTER
UP TONIGHT AND BLUES SEC
OND BY MARGIN OF ONE.

The membership contest between
&ehe Commercial Blues and the Com
mercial Reds begins to look like an
exciting finish.
There is more than friendly riv-
airy in the contest as the commercial
element enters into it as strongly as
the names imply. One side must pay
for dinner that both sides will en-
joy, and the commercial spirit of the
contest is growing keen in the last
few days as the time of paying for
that dinner approaches.
After the first day a big blue let
ter on the World sign proclaimed to
all who were abroad at night that
the Blue team had started in the
lead, but after just one day and
night of bliss the blue was changed
to red and until four nights ago the
air around the Worlds electric sign
remained incarnadined. And then
again the air was changed, the Blue
team led the pace and the azure let
ter shone throughout the last four
nights, while placards glared by day
from every window on the avenue
with a legend printed on them ask
ing "Who turned the tables?" So
the lead remained until today, with
the Red-shaming placards in the day.
time and the big blue light by night
lashing the team of Reds into fury.
Today the Reds grew desperate and
Xenatchee avenue resembled tag-day
In Seattle or Spokane. The Reds
were chasing down their victims
from doorways, streets and alleys,
and, as the World went to press
their score stood just one man in
the lead
Tonight the red letter will show
its face again and it is said that a
committee from the Reds will wait
on a committee from the Blues with
the intention Of purchasing those
Turn the Table" placards at a re-
duced rate.
One more day remains before the
contest closes. On Monday night the
returns will all be in, and on Tues
day the Daily World will tell, not
who turned the tables but who paid
for them.

Methodist Choir Organized.

A chorus choir numbering 40 vol
ces was organized at the Methodist
church last evening with Prof. Q. B..
Brown as musical director. num-
Der of new voices have been added
to the choir and much interest is be-
ing manifested. A very pleasant and
profitable evening was spent. OBJ
servers of the occasion say, If the
enthusiasm of the rehearsal Is an
indication of the music to be rem
dered at the Sunday services the peo-
pie congregating at the Methodist
church are to be congratulated. At
ter the rehearsal the choir on invita-
ton by Prof. Brown, accompanied
him to the "Grotto" to enjoy his
compliments In ice cream sun1aes

BORE LONGEST TUNNEL
Great Northern May Bore II Miles Through the Cas-
Mountains to Insure Safety-Cuts Distance
81 Miles and Reduces Grade More
Than 1000 Feet

That the Great Northern railroad
is planning to build a 17-mile tunnel
from Chiwaukum to Skykomish, in
order to escape such disasters as oc-
Cured at Wellington a short time
ago, is a topic now discussed in rail-
road circles.
At the recent gathering of the
prominent officials of the railroads
at the meeting of the North Pacific
Passenger association, It is said that
the Great Northern representatives
were intensely interested in the pro-
ject. No one wished to be quoted,
but informally the matter was dis
cussed at great length.
This winter has clearly demon
strated - remarked one representa-
tive of the Great Northern, that
some radical steps will have to be
taken to insure the safety of our pas
sengers. With the burning of the
timber on the mountains, which in
creases as the years go by, the dan
ger of snowslides such as occurred at
Wellington increases.
Only Tunnel Can Give Safety.
Nothing but tunnel can insure
safety. With tunnel, however,
from Chiwaukum to Skykomish, the
ryrodo would not on1v bo daoroocod
about 1000 feet, but the winding
track of 46 miles will be reduced to
II miles and the most dangerous part
of the track will be cut out COM
pletely. Our time to Seattle would
be reduced by two or three hours, of
course, but the great benefit would
be in the matter of safety"
II such tunnel was built it would
be the longest tunnel in the world
AMI would probably be one of the
greatest engineering feats of all
time. Several shafts would be sunk
along the route and the total cost Of
such a project is variously estimated
at from $2O,OOO,000 to $50,O00,000
A preliminary survey of the dis
trict already has been made and the
supposition is that the experience OF
the last few weeks was the only
thing necessary to start practical
preparations.

PRINCE Of NATURE

DAILY WORLD IS READ ANY
WHERE AND EVERYWHERE
CRY MATURE FAKIR" AZ
TER READING CRICKET STORY

The Daily World printed a news
item about a fire at the Milot-Mills
greenhouse. The story went on to
tell about the fire alarm being given
by a pet cricket that awoke someone
who extinguished the blaze before a
big conf1agration started. This is a
story that can be vouched for, al
though the motives of the cricket in
making noise enough to awaken Mr..
Milot may or may not have had any
thing to do with judgment in the
matter.
The extent to which the Daily
World is read is shown by the fact
that Chicago journal, known as the
Weekly Florists Review, under date
of March 8, published the story in
full and challenged all the nature
fakirs in the United States to beat it.

TWILIGHT LEAGUE
ORGANIZING
BIG MEETING IN COUNCIL CHAM
BERS LAST NIGHT-ALL THE
BOYS FROM Is TO go WE'RE
THERE.

The first breeze from the baseball
fans stirred last night. There have
been some preliminary committee
meetings but the first general gather
ing of the season was in the council
chambers last night.
The boys are feeling the baseball
spirit now and are only waiting for
the days to get little longer and for
the mud In the ball park to dry.
Henceforth the talk around town will
be of baseball, morning, noon and
night. The work of organizing the
teams that will make the twilight
league is started and on Wednesday
night committee of managers will
get together and talk things over.
The details of the league have not
been worked out but the managers
of last years teams will get things
in definite shape when they meet on
Wednesday, and after that the make
up work will be vigorously attended
to.
On Sunday after tomorrow there
will be a game between the Firemen
and last years first team, now called
the Apple Packers. The proceeds
from that game will be applied to
the payment of suits for this years
first team.
On the following Sunday, March
81, there will be a game between the
Indians and local team picked from
the best men in town. That was the
intention declared last night, and IL
agreeable to the Indians will be put
into effect. There is also a likeli-
hood that a battery will be secured
from the Indians in order to add
class to the game.
The game on Sunday, March 20,
will be managed by j. E. Throw,
Fred Reeves and w. H. Little, as a
temporary committee.
Twilight Games in May.
The twilight games that have been
such a popular feature of the sum-
mer evenings here, will not be start

Parker, the statement says, does
not know to whom the company has
been sold, but it is learned that the
negotiations have been in progress
for some time with H. M. Byllesby
