Wenatchee Canal Co. Fin
ishes Big Bore $500
Feet Long.
MEANS MORE WATER
Bigger Head May Now Be
Turned In = Flow En-
larged One Fifth.

The big irrigation tunnel which
has been under construction for the
past year by the Wenatchee Canal
company is now complete. Water will
be turned in Friday and this means
that at least one-fifth more water will
be carried for the lower part of the
valley.
The long tunnel has been built by
the use of electric drills. Power was
gotten from the Valley Power COM
pany.
The dangerous part of the ditch
has been the fiume work around the
brows of the mountains which the
new tunnel will eliminate. This
f1ume had to be watched all the time
for fear that too much water would
go in and that it would overflow
or the water would cause serious da-
mage and great delay.

ALTERS HIT
HARD IN IOWA
Congressman Hull Given a
Bad Beating but Gov.
Carroll Survives.
CUMMINS IS PLEASED
Says There is Disposition in
Washington to Get
Factions Together

Des Moines, Iowa, June 9.-With
five counties missing, Governor Car
roll, republican, is renominated by
a majority of TOT votes. The miss
ing counties are known as Carroll
strongholds and probably will bring
his total up to 1900 or 1000. The
surprise of the election is the ma
jority rolled up by Judge Prouty,
progressive, over Congressman Hull.
Prouty carried every county in the
district, his unofficial majority be-
ing 31O6. Even the most sanguine
progressive had hoped for little bet
ter than small majority. Two
years ago Hull was nominated by
40 votes over Prouty.
The remarkable shift is attribut-
ed solely to antagonism to the course
of the standpat congressman, of
whom Hull was one, ON tariff and
railroad legislation.
President Taft early in the cam
.paign spoke in this city in support
of the administration policies.
The defeat of Garst, which is adj
mitted by the Register and Leader
(progressive) by so small a major
ity is held to indicate to some degree
the great sentiment of the state on
the national affairs, despite the fact
that Governor Carroll insisted he
was running on his state record on
ly. Two years ago Carroll was NOM
mated over Garst by $4,000 votes.
Congressional Nominations.
Practically complete returns today
show the following congressional
nominations:
The Second district democrats, at
first believed to have chosen De Ar
mond, nominated I. S. Pepper.
Republican-First district, c.. A.
Kennedy, standpat; Second, Charles
Grilk, progressive; Third, c. E. Pick
EFT; progressive; Fourth, Gilbert N.
Haugen, progressive; Fifth, James

Kendall, progressive; Seventh, S. F
Prouty, progressive; Eighth, H. M,
Towner, standpat; Ninth, Walter 1.
Smith, standpat; Tenth, Frank P.
Woods, progressive; Eleventh, E. H.

Eleventh, Will I. Whiting.
In the Eleventh district the dem
ocrats made no formal nomination,
but the name of Will I. Whiting was
written into the ballot, as is allowed
in this state, and he was chosen.

DISCUSSES APPLE
SCHEDULE
Wenatchee Will Abide by
Rules Adopted in
January.
w. T. CLARK TALKS
President Says Composed
Schedule is a Dis
honest One.

According to report sent out from
Walla Walla there is liable to be
trouble in the ranks of the Washing
ton State Horticultural society. Be-
cause as the report stated, "Wenat-
chez orchardists think they have a
be- ter grade of apples than can be
produced elsewhere in the Northwest
and because the growers in other
parts of the state think they have
not" The report was discussed and
action taken by the State Horticul-
tural society at its meeting in Wenat-
chez last January.
w. T. Clark, president of the State
Horticultural association when shown
the report from Walla Walla said:
"Wenatchee is going to stand by the
schedule that was adopted at the
meeting. 1t must be remembered,
however, that the first schedule was
adopted in a hurry and was after
wards re-considered. The society
voted to class apples into three kinds
to be known as extra fancy"
choice and orchard run" But a
subsequent discussion and thorough
one resulted in maintaining the form
er standard of extra fancy" and
choice"
Not Fair to Consumers.
at is not fair to the consumer"
said President Clark in discussing
the classes or grades as were first
sprung upon the growers at the state
convention. l am in favor of holding
the grades to the very highest and
then go in to give what We advertise
1t is not a question of Wenatchee
against the rest of the Northwest.
Rather it is a question of treating the
trade right
If as the report says that circulars
are being sent out by the secretary
of the association from North Yaki-
ma purposing that the state ignore
Wenatchee and go ahead with the
classification they have been very
careful to keep these circulars out
of this part of the country.
Would Injure Trade.
To change the grading from
fancy" extra fancy" and "choice"
ds has heretofore existed to extra
fancy" choice" and orchard run"
would lower the standard and would
be of incalculable harm to the trade
of this Northwest country.

He is on the ground, and excited,

WE NEED THE MONEY
City Duns County for $5OO-Bin
Missed Commissioners Session.

Five hundred dollars is all we
ask" writes the city of Wenatchee
to the county of Chelan.
The city says it sprinkled the
county's roads, wherefore it names
$500 due as compensation.
One hundred dollars worth was
sprinkled in the month of May, and
a $500 job was done last year in the
months of June, July, August and
September.
AS the dun arrived too late to be
read in the commissioners court for
June the city will have to wait until
July.

point higher than $500 feet,

Roughly describing it, the route
begins, from the Leavenworth side,
at Wilson creek. Following up that
creek to a place known as the park,
a swing is made around the head of
Brushy creek. From there the route
winds around the head of the Text
son and then down the Tekison to
the Column ia. The rest of the way
is water grade. The route will be
suggested to the state highway COM
missioner in the near future and the
members will be taken over the
route.

ced that this exhibition would take
place in Recreation park, but the
plan now is to anchor a large barge
out in the river and give the display
therefrom. Some very expensive
fireworks are being secured and
some new and very original and spec
tacular effects are expected to cause
a sensation. Some of the advantages
of holding the celebration on the
river are that the long walk out to
the park after supper will be elm
mated and many of the residents on
the hill can sit upon their porches
and view the display at a distance
while remaining in comfort. 1t will
also be convenient for the crowds if
the night be warm one to have the
refreshment parlors near at hand.
The who is Who" masquerade car
nival will be given on Wenatchee av-
enue instead of at the park and the
bowery dance will be located in the
downtown section.

on their capital stock. The public
service corporations may be entitled
to a reasonable proportion of the I'M
earned increment as a private indi-
vidual would be in his holdings, but
the trouble has been in the past that
the public service corporation offic-
ials have been too avaricious and
have capitalized too for into the fu-
ture. We are compelled to pay ex-
cessive rates so that their stock will
bear seasonable return upon the
face of it. In other words, we are
having to pay dividends upon too
much water.
County Unit Plan.
Il believe that my record upon the
question of the county unit for To-
cal option warrants me in referring
you to the stand | have taken in this
matter in the past. l am in favor
of the county unit absolutely, with
the possible exception of eliminating
cities of the first class from the
county unit. In those counties in
which we have cities of the first
class we would have two units, and
as a further restriction upon this
traffic, I expect to recommend to the
next legislature that they pass a bill
confirming the sale of liquor to the
daylight hours only in such commun-
tiles where the sale is permitted by
law"

the three days series of games, Sun
day, Monday and Tuesday, July 8,

tival of the national game ever wit

Wired His Acceptance of
Invitation to Deliver 9Th
of July Grafton.

An exciting broncho busting con-
test is the latest feature for the
Fourth of July celebration arranged
for by the committee. Arrange
ments are being made to secure a
number of wild horses which have
never been touched with rope, bride
nor saddle. Already a number of
cowboys from the Ephrata and Okla
hogan countries have signified their
willingness to enter the contest. The
committee has decided to secure a
very fine saddle to offer as first prize
to the winner of the contest and a
pair of snaps and a bride as second
prize.
Hindley as Orator.
Rev. w. ]. Hindley, the popular
Spokane preacher, sportsman and
lodge man, has been engaged to give
the Fourth of July grafton. His ac-
ceptance was only received by phone
this morning and his subject has not
yet been announced, but it is need
less to say that anything DIR. Hind
ley may say from a public platform
will always be greeted with great
applause, whether his hearers agree
with him or not. He has secured the
reputation, whether deservedly or
not, of being the most sensational
preacher of the northwest, as may
be judged from the fact that his re-
cent sermon on Life is just one
damn thing after another" has geen
quoted all over the world.
Fireworks on Columbia River.
The committee has decided to

newspaper picture of the missing
man, and the police chief will show
it to anyone interested. A descrip-
ton of Ogletree was also enclosed.
This was as follows:
He was a man of medium build and
about As years of age. He had sandy
hair, which was very thin. His sandy
moustache was almost white in color.
When he disappeared he was dressed
in a brown checked suit and usually
wore a black derby hat. He limped
noticeably, and always let the nail on
his little finger of his left hand grow
unusually long.
Ogletree was reported to have left
loving family, consisting of wife
and five children, on a farm ID miles
of Montgomery. He had about 500
with him with which to pay some bills
and to buy supplies. No bills were
paid by him, the letter states, and the
family suspected foul play. His two
mule team and keys were left at a
livery stable, but he never returned
for them: The family now believes
that he has not met. with foul play,
and that he will return to them safely.

Some fifteen hundred guests were in

Tonight's reception marked radi-

at the White House, and for the first
time in many years refreshments
were served. The "blue room" cir
Gle, where, in the past, a select party
has been invited behind the line, was
entirely done away with. In the re-
ceiving line were only Vice-President
and Mrs. Sherman, members of the
cabinet and ladies of their household.
