SALTWATER BILL
BROKE AGAIN
WALKING LONDON'S LONELY
STREETS AND LONGING FOR
ICEBERGS OF ALASKA-ASKS
HELP FROM FRIENDS.

"Swiftwater Bill" Gates, once a
Spokane well digger, later famous as
one of the original Klondike kings
but no less famous for his many mat
rimonial ventures, is walking the
streets of London in that state of fl
nancial stringency termed "stone
broke" by means of the postal SER
vice he is yelling loudly across the
Atlantic ocean for help from W. H.
Dohlmann. manager of the st. Fran
ces hotel of San Francisco.
This is the news brought to Seat
tie from San Francisco by Jack Nc
Leod. former Alaskan friend OF
saltwater Bill" who has just ar
rived in the Sound city from Raw
hide, New.
According to Mcleod, the treeless
tundras and frozen streams of the
north now look pretty good to Swift
water BILL" and, at the time of writ
ing, he desired nothing better than
to be lost in blizzard on the Chill
koot summit. Gates says that it is
cold in the northern part of Alaska
but not half as frigid as was his re-
ception by the English nabobs when
he tried to persuade them to buy
stock in some mines which he owns
at Rawhide.

WOULD SECURE |R-
R|GAT|ON DATA
AMENDMENT TO THE CENSUS
ACT MADE BY CONGRESSMAN
POINDEXTER WOULD PROVE
OF VALUE TO THE WEST.

The Daily World is in receipt OF
house bill 1864, which has been
read twice and referred to the com
mittee on the census, providing for
an amendment to the census bill
passed last July. The portion OF
which is important to the people OF
the west is the amendment made by
Congressman Poindexter, providing
for the securing of irrigation data.
The bill refers to the scope of the
census in general and the following
is the amendment made by Congress
man Poindexter:
Inquiries shall also be made as
to the location and character of irri-
cation enterprises; quality OF land
irrigated in the arid region of the
United States and in each state and
county in that section under state
and federal laws; the price at which
these lands, including water right,
are obtainable; the character AMI
value of crops produced on irrigated
lands, the amount of water used pei
acre for said irrigation and whether
it was obtainable from national,
state, or private works; the location
Of the various projects and method
of construction with facts as to their
physical condition"

TAKE CIVIC PRIDE N
COUNCIL WORK
CITIZENS DEMANDING IMPROVE
MENTs AND THERE WAS NOT
A PROTEST ON $3.50. 900 SEWER
SYSTEM.

It is q noteworthy fact that the
citizens of Wenatchee generally take
great pride in the public Improvement
that is being made. The city coun-
Gil meets this evening and it is un-
derstood that there are several petit
tions for an extension of the improve
ment districts both in sewerage and
in street regrade work. Several
weeks ago on the date set for max
ing protests against the proposed
$25O,00O sewer system there was not
single protest registered and the
council seemed to have the universal
approval of both the residential and
business districts. Another fact that
is worthy of mention is that while all
districts of the city are clamoring fol
improvements it is demanded that
these improvements be first class and
that the work to be of permanent
character. The members of the city
council feel very well pleased with
the maner in which the citizens gen.
orally regard the public improve
ments contemplated.

Associated Charities Want Storeroom.
The Board of Associated Charities
has been in need of storeroom since
the commercial club moved to it's new
quarters. When the club occupied
the old hall a small room was avail
able where donations of clothes and
other things could be kept, but at
the present time the board is with
out a storage place. The donations
cannot always be disposed of to the
best advantage Immediately after be-
ing received and the loss of the store
room is being keenly felt. A large
room is not necessary and one on the
second floor would be all right.
About the only requirement is that
the room should be in a convenient
location. At the meeting last Sat-
urday a petition was sent around to
the various lodges and churches in
Wenatchee for funds with which to
carry on the seasons work. The
board has spent about $500 in cash
since it was organized, besides dis
tributing donations of clothes and
other goods made by stores and in
dividuals. Money is needed at the
present time. 1t is expected that the
county commissioners will allow $3.50
of the county money at their next ses-
sion for the cause.

Temporary Approach to New Depot.
The Great Northern Railway COM

substantial approach across its right

layed in the matter on account of the
cold weather. 1t was thought at first
that no temporary approach would
be necessary, prior to building the
permanent one, but the recent wea-
Their conditions have made crossing
imperative. At the present time

of parliamentary affairs by long ser

president of the New Hampshire SEN

Would Decorate Store Windows.

The publicity committee Of the We
natchee Commercial club, having in
charge the publicity work of the
membership campaign, has asked
that the business houses decorate
their store windows according to
their inclinations, either Red or Blue.
1t has been the desire of the COM
mittee that the heads of the business
houses should be seen personally by
the committee but this entails a
great deal Of work and the commit
tee has asked the Daily World to
urge that every business house in the
city should be decorated either with
the Red or the Blue. This will in
dictate the desire of the house that
the Red should win or that the Blue
should win.
The publicity committee also asks
that not only should the business
places be so decorated but as many
of the private homes as possible.
The desire is that this membership
campaign should be conducted with
as much enthusiasm as possible and
in order to do so it means a great
deal of individual boosting and with
the business houses and the private
homes decorated this means that
more interest win be taken In this
campaign and more members secured.
Already number of business houses
have been decorated and 1t is expect
ed that within the next few days most
of the places will show either the
Red or the Blue colors.
