RAILROADS. BEGIN
CAMP ALIGN
COMMON CARRIERS, BY VOICING
APPEAL TO INVESTING CLASS
OF TOURISTS. HOPE TO TURN
TIDE TO NORTHWEST.

Northern railroads soon will begin
a campaign of publicity to turn tide
of travel to the Pacific northwest
next year. A special appeal will be
made to the investing class of tour
lists, though special inducements also
will be held out to settlers.
This is follow-up movement that
will come as result of the success
of the Alaska-Yukon-Pacific expOsi-
ton. 1t will be promoted by all the
railroads, and it is tacitly agreed that
the tourist rates will be lower than
have been offered for several years.
Both the railroads and the people
of the northwest have an opportunity
for exploitation as a result of the
1909 fair that must not be overlook
ed" said A. D. Charlton, assistant
general passenger agent of the North
ern Pacific, today. 'Unquestionably
the railroads will take advantage of
the chance and will do everything pos
sible to attract tourist travel to the
northwest next summer.
After the Lewis and Clark expo
sition in Portland, the northern lines
agreed upon the policy of offering low
tourist rates each summer. 1t paid
then in the building up of the north
west, and it will pay far more now
that the Alaska-Yukon-Pacific exposi-
ton has been such a success.
I'VE want to bring here the people
who are interested in investing and
promoting the Pacific northwest, the
people who may settle here ana, in
fact, everybody who will do anything
to help the northwest. The railroads
will get their profit later in the de-
velopment of business.
There never was a better time FOR
the launching OF publicity cam
paign, for the people of the east al
ready are interested and easily Undue
ed to accept information regarding
this country. The railroads are alive
to this situation, and will do their ut.
most to promote this section and to
bring the logical result of the Alaska.

TRAIN SERVICE
DELAYED BY
SLIDES
FIVE WESTBOUND TRAINS ARE
STALLED AT LEAVENWORTH
ON ACCOUNT OF SIDES OF THE
MOUNTAINS SLIDING ON TRACK

The royal chinook is much in evil
dence today and has played havoc
with the train service in the Cascade
division. The five delayed west
bound trains which passed through
here early this morning are stalled
at Leavenworth and there is no tell
ing when they might get through to
Seattle. In addition to the sliding off
of whole hills onto the tracks there
this side of Leavenworth and by the
is a derailment on the mountain. The
wrecker was summoned but it was
time it was placed in readiness for
the run to the scene of the derail-
ment there was a big slide between
Cashmere and Leavenworth and the
wrecker could not reach the trouble.
The chinook is taking off the snow
very fast in this valley today, and
whenever it puts in an appearance
there is serious trouble along the G.
N. line. Snow, rock and mud slide
down onto the track and every spring
there is a great deal of trouble on
the Cascade division.
No. /, due here at 12:40, was re-
ported three or four hours late, ow-
ing to climatic conditions through the
central states.

PROPOSEDNEW
ELECTRIC
LINE
SCHEME NOW REING EVOLVED
FOR A NEW RAILROAD UP THE
WENATCHEE VALLEY FEED
Err FOR STEAM ROADS.

For some time the Daily World has
been in possession of information In
reference to a projected electric line
through the Wenatchee valley, but
owing to the fact that the proposed
railroad was still in its inception and
the promoters not in shape to discuss
the matter from a reasonably sure
standpoint nothing has heretofore
been said. The whole plan, however.
will be given out from time to time
through the columns of the Daily
World as it progresses.
1t may be authoritatively stated,
however, that the proposed electric
line will be called the Wenatchee
Railway and Power company. The
promoters are not DESTROYS of making
their plans public as yet, but later
on at a more seasonable time all the
information will be given out.
The people of Wenatchee and vicin-
ity will be given an opportunity to
purchase a limited amount of stock.
should they so desire, ana the hackers
of the enterprise state that they will
place a reasonable price on the stock
as their road will not be constructed
for stock exploiting purposes.
1t is the intention of the company
to act merely as feeder to the trans
continental lines and not to inter-
fere with the business of the main
lines in any way Their further in
tention is to develop the valley and
to make business for everyone.
There is every indication that the
company means business, provided
that it can get proper and reasonable
concessions from the county and city
for street railway purposes.

SUBSTITUTE FOR
THELAFEAh
BILL
E.. r. BALCH SAYS THREE BIG
FRUIT ORGANIZATIONS HAVE
SUBSTITUTES WHICH WILL BE
INTRODUCED IN CONGRESS.

E. T. Balch, who returned last
week from the Denver National APP
pie show and the Northwest Fruit
Jobbers association, states that the
Colorado growers are very much in
terested and very much in favor of
a new bill which will be introduced
asan amendment to the pure food
fawe~and which in reality is substi-
>ttite for the, Lafean and Porter fruit
box bills.
N. G. Gibson, of the Gibson Fruit
company, who has handled great
deal of fruit from this valley, is a
representative Of the Northwest Fruit
Jobbers association and is one of the
committee appointed by the three big
organizations, the National League of
Commission Men, Northwest Fruit
Jobbers association and the National
Apple Shippers association, to draft
a bill which will be an amendment
to the national pure food law and Is
substitute for the we'll known La
fean and Porter bills. 1t is likely
that this will be introduced at the
present session of congress. Neither
one of the old bills could hope to pass
as there are constitutional faults with
both. The text of the bill, however,
is very little different from that of
the Lafean bill. The provisions for
the size of the box ara also for the
grading OF the fruit ii the proposed
bill will be the same as in the La
fean bill The new bill, however, pro-
vides a penalty of 25 cents per box
for failure to comply with the pro-
visions of the new law in size of
box used or in grading. The Colo
RADIO shippers. according to Mr..
Balch, are very much in favor of the
new bill, but the northwest will fight
it on the same grounds as the opposi-
ton to the Lafean bill.

the erection of building within the
next year or as soon after as possible
The committee having that matter in

In Real Estate Business in Cashmere

In Real Estate Business in Cashmere.
C.. E. Lewis and T. M. Gibbons of
this city have made arrangements
to go to Cashmere and enter business
as the Cashmere Land & Investment
company. These men have in the
past been heavy realty holders in this
valley ami recently sold out their
interests here They have made a
success of the orcharding business in
this valley and it is safe to say that
both men will treat the Cashmere
people right in any business entrust-
ed to them. They are negotiating
for an office in Cashmere and it is
expected that they will be ready for
business in a short time. Both men
have invested considerable money in
the upper country and have every
confidence in that district

Policeman Given a Poor Steer"

Two World reporters were wildly
excited yesterday about a report cur
rent on the street that H. E. Hardes-
ty had married over night. The re-
porters got the story from the police
and, believing it to be true, made a
wild and gleesome rush to Hardesty' S
office. Unfortunately the accused
groom persisted in denying the allie
CATION and the exciting story could
not be published. Later sleuth on
the Daily World ran down a victim
by the name of Jack Hensley who
afessed up to being the guilty one.

ALMANAC SHOWS TWO OF THE
sun AND TWO OF THE MOON
LUCKY SIGNS - DATE OF
sss-
CHURCH DAYS.

Wenatchee residents who have
taken the time to consult the 1910

that during the next IL months there
will be four ec1ipses, two of the sun
and two of the moon. Only one of
these, however, the complete dark
ness of the moon. on the night of
May %, will be visible in this city.
This eclipse will be seen throughout
North and South America, the Pa
cific and Atlantic oceans, southwest
ern Europe, western Africa and the
extreme eastern portion of Australia.
On November Is there will be an
other eclipse of the moon, but it will
be only partly visible to the people
of the western hemisphere.
A total eclipse of the sun will &C.
cur May 9. visible only to the in
habitants of Australia and adjacent
oceans. The other darkening of the
great light-giving body will occur No
vember 1. This will be visible to
the greater portion of Alaska, but in
NO other part of the United States.
The path of totality will sweep across
the northern Pacific and northern
Asia. u
The new almanac also tells OF other
interesting events of the year. The
first legal holiday after New Years

airy 22-is shown to fall on Tuesday.
Easter comes early, on March 81;
July falls On Monday; Labor day is
Monday, September 5; Thanksgiving
day is November "a, and Christmas

There are numerous narrow escapes
however, for a large number oil
Thursdays and Saturdays have 10 al

DISPATCH TRAINS
BY TELEPHONE
GREAT NORTHERN RAILWAY TOl
DO AWAY WITH TELEGRAPHY
AND WILL SOON HAVE CIRCUIT
OF 21OO MILES.

The equipment OF the Spokane di.
| vision of the Great Northern rail
way with telephone train dispatching
apparatus will complete a total OF
2100miles of line which this road is
now operating in this manner.
The Spokane division extends from
Troy, Mont, to Leavenworth, Wash.
a distance of 337 miles. On account
of the length of this division, and
the amount of traffic passing over it,
two dispatchers are required to han
die the division. They will have on
their dispatching circuits As way sta
tions equipped with standard West
ern Electric telephones and Gill Sc
lectors.
The Standardization of this appar-
atus for the railroads of the country
has included a testing device which
is installed throughout the Great
Northern system. This Is a panel
somewhat similar to the well known
telegraph peg board but containing
telephone jacks and plugs. The cir
cults looping through an Office, both
telephone and telegraph, are wired
through these jacks and by the opera
ton of two keys and using the plugs
at the dispatcher's orders, it is pos
sible to patch up temporarily a line
in case of trouble, to interchange
circuits, to locate a break or cross
to the nearest station-in fact, to
make all the simple tests ordinarily
required on a circuit of this charac-
ter. These test panels have been
found an important and useful por-
ton of the dispatching equipment of
railroads. Their simplicity makes
them especially valuable, as they
may be operated by the most mex
perienced employees.
Another interesting feature OF the
Great Northern installation is the
use of siding telephones on the Spo-
kane division. Seventy of these are
to be installed. AS the use of the
telephone for dispatching has in
creased. the railroads, as in this case,
have come to appreciate more and
more the advantages of being able to
allow the train crews to talk directly
to the dispatcher at all important
sidings. A siding telephone is sure
to be at hand in case of emergency,
as large number of them have been
installed. The fact that these siding
telephones enable the dispatcher to
reach train crews waiting at the sid
ings and give them orders to pro-
coed permits him to take advantage
of all changes in the schedule, pre-
vent congestion and keep traffic NOV
ing, thus effecting economies in mo-
tive power and reducing overtime ex-
pense. Any of these uses warrants
the installation of the telephone sys-
TEN, as the savings effected in one
emergency will more than paw the
cost of the installation.
When this equipment is put into
service the Great Northern will have
telephone train dispatching system
tn entire distance from Minneapolis
to Seattle, with the exception of two
short sections.
