SAM SMALL, SOUTHERN ORATOR,
JECT personal LIBERTY
ARRATGNED RUSSELL IN EAST.

Standing room was at premium
at the Methodist church last night,
where the people turned out en- masse
to hear Sam Small, the noted south
ern lecturer and orator, speak on the
subject of Personal Liberty" Mr..
Small maintained his reputation for
ready wit, keen and cutting satire,
and logical treatment of his subject.
His reference to evidences of Yankee
shrewdness in the development of the
Wenatchee valley made a decided hit
with his auditors. The gist of his
argument with reference to temper
ance legislation being an infringe
ment ON personal liberty was that by
decisions of the supreme court, pro-
hibition is the common law of the
land and that the right to manufac-
ture or sell intoxicating liquors rests
alone on statutory enactments. He
discussed conditions existing in Maine
and Kansas, showing that the people
of those localities were prospecting
under prohibition and argued that If
the people of those states were salts
fed with conditions there, the peo-
pie of other states of the union should
not find so much dissatisfaction. He
asserted that statistics show that the
people of Kansas have less than 2
per cent of illiteracy among them.
that in most of the counties the poor
farms have been converted into local
agricultural experiment stations, and
that in the larger percent of the
counties criminal cases seldom occur
and the jails stand empty.
First Trip to West.
Sam Small stated to the Daily
World this morning that for years he
has been planning trip to the north
west but on account of the press OF
dates he has been unable to get out
until this spring, This is his first
trip and he is very agreeably sur
prised with this section of Washing
ton. He was given an auto trip
through the valley yesterday after
noon. Mr.. Small stated that his at
tention was first directed to the We
natchee valley as a fruit section by
the display made last year by the
Chicago, Milwaukee & Puget Sound
railway in London A gorgeous show
ing of red apples was made by the
railroad company along with other
products Of the west, but it was the
apples which attracted the attention
of the visitors. During the few weeks

dacy for the land office position at

Postofficc Inspector Davis, of San
Francisco, spent last evening in the
city and with Postmaster Hull and
Terry Ross, who will assume office
June1. spent several hours In the
World building making suggestions
as to the arrangement OF the new
building which will be ready for oc-
cupancy by the postoffice by July 1

may decide to move in prior to that
date.
The present postoffice has 500
boxes and the number will be In
creased several hundred, so as to give
all OF the patrons Of the office an

NEW GARAGE READY
JULY |
BUILDING FOR MET
ROPOLITAN GARAGE COMPANY
STARTED - BLACKSMITH AND
MACHINE SHOP.

Work has been started for the big
concrete garage and machine shop
on Chelan avenue, diagonally across
from the city park.
Very little time remains for the
contractors to do the work in, but
they still assert that they will have
it done on July LIST, the time speci-
fled.
Fourteen men will be employed in
the new place, some in the sales
rooms and others in the shops.
1t is the intention of the manage
ment to have the machine shop thor
oughly equipped in order that no
work need be sent to the coast. At
the present time it has been demon
strated that machine work can be
sent there at profit of twenty per
cent over and above the costs and
freight both ways, as the local ma
chine shops have not full equip
ments. One of the features of the
new place is the trip-hammer.
Foundry Considered.
Casting work must all be sent to
the Sound, and for years there has
been talk in Wenatchee of starting
a foundry here The Metropolitan
people are looking into the matter
and expect to know in a few days
whether they will install one, to be
operated in conjunction with their
shops. Expenses. of a foundry are
high and hard to reduce during times
of quiet, as the workmen are not IL
able to stay here if laid off.

Mayor Gellatly stated that already
he had had several applications for
the position of librarian for the new
Carnegie library One of them was
Mrs. L. R. Kufus. She stated that
If given the position she would take
a special library course in Chicago
during the summer, fitting herself for
the work required The matter was
passed up to the library committee
for recommendation
DR.. E. H. Warren, who lost a horse
on account of fright received from
the steam roller, submitted a bill of
$50, the cost of the animal. The
committee passed on this claim some
time ago and reported that the city
was not liable. 1t is evidently the
intention of DR.. Warren to go into
court to force the collection of the
claim.
May Buy Squillchuck Water.
Chairman Russell of the water
committee, reported that there was a
possibility of being able to secure 20
inches of Squillchuck water. A large
number of residents of Millerdale are
selling the Squillchuck water and
buying high line water. The sales
have been made as a result of the
application of Squillchuck residents
who desire the water and Mr.. Rus
sells idea is that the city might pur-
chase some of the water from the
Millerdale people on the same basis
as the Squillchuck residents, giving
the city plenty of water for the win
ter season and obviating the neces-
sity of running the city pump during
that season.
The council considered 1t a good
investment and the water committee
was instructed to see how much wa
ter could be purchased and on what
terms
Speed Ordinance.
The ordinance limiting the speed
of autos and vehicles within the cor
porate limits was given final pass
age last night. The speed of vehi-
cles is limited to a maximum speed
OF IL miles an hour, with four miles
on the cross streets. On autos the
limit is IL miles and six miles on the
cross streets. The ordinance provides
500 fine for violation of this ordi-
nance and not over 80 days in jail.
The ordinance providing for the
improvement of Okanogan avenue
was given first reading.
Remove Poles From Street.
The light committee was instructed
to instruct the electric companies to
remove their poles from the streets
in number of places where the
street rights have been infringej.
May Improve BOlenbaugh.
Residents of Bolenbaugh addition
were present last night and asked
for the improvement of Bolenbaugh
and Engineers addition. 1t seems to-
be the desire of residents of that Sec
ton of the city that cement side
walks be laid and the streets graded,
leaving the macadam until next year.
The city attorney was instructed to
prepare an ordinance along that line.

Kansas City Stock Yards, Aug. 15.--
For the second time since the big
lruns of quarantine cattle commenced
the supply here last week was less
than 400 car loads, and, the total sup
ply of quarantine cattle by head for
the week W3s five thousand less than
same week last year. It is not believ-
ed that the run is nearing the end of
the season, but recent rains have pro-
duced good feed and running water
in streams dry a little while ago, and
owners are holding off to get bigger
weight The market on quarantines
was extra good here last week, steers
gaining 25 to 80 cents for the week,
and COWS going up 10 to Is cents,
calves a quarter higher. Owners are
/ still holding off this week, apparently,
as run today is only so cars in the.
quarantine division, and the total sup
Iply is only go cars in the quarantine
division, and the total supply Of cat
tie is only 10000 head here, moder-
ate for Monday this late in August.
| Quarantine are selling strong today,
cows ten higher in some cases, and
calves also higher Most of the good
COWS sell around $3.50 today, top load
at $685., and full car of calves today
at $3.50. Steers are mostly of the
light weight kind, and range from
$3.50 to S49O today for weights from
S25 to 1000 lbs. few steers under
500 lbs at $4.00 to s4.20 today A full
test of the steer market has not been
made lately in quarantine division, al
though some fancy fed heifers from
Nowata, Okla. sold at $500 there last
week. There are two bear factors in
the general market this week, namely,
the continued arrival In Chicago of
big runs of dry weather steers from
the northwest. about twice as heavy
as normal. and the absence of orders
Ior kosher beef from the east, account
OF nine days or jewish n0lidayS, start
ing next Saturday.
The surprise in the hog market last
week was the sudden jumping into
favor of the heavy hog. this class ad-
vancing % to s5 cents for the week.
Medium and light weights also made
gains. but not so much and the week
closed with only a moderate spread
in prices between heavies and the
Others. Total receipts at all the mar
kets decreased last week, and traders
look for light runs for awhile. Sup
ply here is only $500 today. and while
the market is shade lower, it is not
taken to indicate conditions later in
the week, as fairly good demand is
looked for right. along. Packers con-
