Thermometer Went Skyward.

While the east is sizzling with
extreme heat, local thermometers
are also registering pretty close to
100 in the shade This does not
mean, however, that heat is felt here
the same as it is in the east. One
hundred in the shade is not con-
sidered very serious in the west.
While the days are hot, yet the
nights are cool and it is possible to
enjoy a good nights rest. Both
yesterday and today have been warm
for the Wenatchee valley and a great
many people have availed them
selves of the opportunity to spend
a few days at Lake Wenatchee, Lake
Chelan or some of the resorts ad-
jacent to Wenatchee.

CANCEL SNOW
SHEDLUMbER
ORDER
G.. N. Apparently Has De-
cided Not to Cover Road
in Avalance District.

Everett, Wash, July 11.-Follow-
ing the Wellington avalanche, in
which over a hundred lives were
lost, announcement was made that
the Great Northern would spend a
million dollars to prevent a repeti-
ton of the disaster James J. Hill
came in person to look over the
scene and announced that snowsheds
would be built to protect the pas
senger trains. About a month ago
an order was placed with local and
other mills on the Sound for 10000
900 feet of lumber for the construc-
ton of the sheds.
During the past week the broker
with whom the order for lumber was
placed was notified that it had been
cancelled and the mills were order
ed to stop cutting it. No explana-
ton for the cancellation was given.
James J. Hill has had a crouch on
III SOmC duu luc 1dCL Iudt
his gloomy forecastings have not been
taken very seriously may have some
thing to do with stopping new work
along the line.
The abandoning of work at We'll
lington at this time means that the
travelling public which uses the
Great Northern will be subjected to
the same perils in the Cascade noun
tains this winter as last. Unless
the work of building snowsheds is
rushed this summer they will not be
completed in time to afford protec-
ton next winter. Possibly it is cheap
er to bury the victims of IAN act OF
God" than to provide a reasonable
amount of protection. In any event
the present outlook is that the pas
sengers must continue to take
chances. They should, however, be
warned of the risk.

Well Known Pioneer of
Leavenworth Died
Sunday Morning.

News has been received in this city
of the death at Leavenworth Sunday
morning of Judge F. S. Taylor, a we'll

feeling very poorly for the proceeding
two days and on Sunday morning
friends found him dead in his Office.

GROWS CROP ON
ELECTRIC FARM
Plants Coaxed From Soil by
Juice on Wires a Dozen
Feet From Ground.

New York, July 1.-THE newest
thing of scientific soil tilling is the
electric farm" Ex-Judge Thomas
H. Williams of Brooklyn is making
the experiment. He has purchased
two-acre plot at East Northport, l..
l., on which he is trying to grow
crops with the aid of electricity.
While the general scheme is not
entirely new, Judge Williams thinks
he has improved on the methods en-
ployed by experimenters near Dres-
den, Germany. The electric currents
were passed through atmosphere sur
rounding young plants. It was found
that while the growth was accelerat-
ed to a slight extent it was not
enough to warrant the expense of the
equipment.
Judge Williams has strung poles
about a dozen feet above the ground
in which seeds are planted, wires
combining high ampereage and low
voltage. Windmills are used to gen.
crate the electricity. Part of it is
running into storage batteries for
use on days when there is no wind
to work the mills.
Judge Williams tried the plan on
small plot at Central Islip, L. l.,
and is said to have advanced the
growth of his plants three weeks. He
is now experimenting on a larger
scale.

BAN ON CONES FOR
ICE CREAM
Law Invoked After Boy is
Poisoned by Substance
Found Therein.

New York, July Lice cream
cones, now one of the leading sum-
mer delicacies throughout the United
States, are being investigated by the
federal authorities. United States
Marshall William Henkel this after
noon sliced IS boxes containing pre-
pared cones, and is giving orders to
make a general raid on the sellers of
the friged "tidbits' at the summer
resorts.
Walter Stade, a 17-year-old boy,
was found dead in Brooklyn today,
presumably from eating cones. Other
cases of illness during the last few
days have been attributed to the
same cause, and the federal officers
became interested in the matter.
1t is alleged the material used in
manufacturing many of the cones is
unfit for human consumption. The
proceedings were brought under the
federal pure food law.

EPHRATA down lon
BOOZE
Grant County Seat May Be-
come Dry Town in
Spite of Protests.
REFUSE NEW LICENSE
Puget Sound Firms Offer
Inducements for Renewal
of Saloon Papers.

Ephrata, Wash, July 1.-THE
contest between the vets and the drys
waged warmly for several weeks,
reached it's climax today when the
council voted not to renew the IL
cense of Emmett Blackman, the Ii
cense expiring July ~. Mr.. Havi-
lands license expires in few months
and todays events indicate that
Ephrata will soon be dry town.
Since the fire of March the street
facing the depot has been a mass Of
blackened ruins. The Heinrich COM
pany of Seattle offered to build a
$4,000 brick hotel at once of a Ii
cense was granted, and an Everett
brewery offered to erect a 35-room
brick hotel Immediately to be occu
pied and managed by Mr.. Blackman
If his license were renewed.
In the face of these two offers and
in the face Of raise in the taxes of
the precinct to Offset the revenue for
merly derived from saloon license,
a petition signed by majority of
the taxpayers was presented to the
council against the renewal of IL
censes.
Further argument was that Ephra-
ia would be more likely to lose the
county seat If the council voted
against a renewal of the license.
A petition signed by farmers out
side the precinct, who trade there,
was also presented asking the council
not to renew.

FRANK GOTCH WILL GIVE
CHALLENGE TO JOHNSON
Champion Westler of the World Would Also Become
Best Boxer-Wants Year to Prepare for Big Fight
Jim Corbett is Enthusiastic Over Idea and Match
is Probable Still Making Charges.

; Chicago, July 11.-Frank A. Gotch
worlds champion wrestler, has an
nounced through Harry H. Frazee,
the Chicago theatrical magnate and
promoter of the Gotch-Jeffries tour,
that he would like to fight Jack john
son for the heavyweight boxing
championship.
"Not i've minutes after Johnson
knocked out Jeffries in the Reno bat
tle," said Mr.. Frazee, "Gotch told me-
that he could whip johnson and that
he would be willing to fight the
negro giant if given proper traing
for ten months or a year.
"Gotch asked me to put the propo-
sition up to Jim Corbett, and see
what he thinks about it.
Corbett Likes the Idea.
81 met Corbett yesterday, told him
of Franks plans, and he became wild
ly enthusiastic over the idea.
Everybody knows Gotch is a ster-
ling athlete, and the greatest wrestler
in the world. They know he is about
the most powerful man in athletics;
that he Is young, and that he takes
the best of care of himself. Where
is there another man more promising
or capable of whipping Johnson?
"Gotch plans" continued Mr.. Fra
zee, " to place himself in charge of
some master of boxing, a skilled in
structor like Tommy Ryan, or some
other fighter of the old school. He
wants at least one year in which to
prepare for the fight. He is firmly
convinced he can whip Johnson and
wants to try it.
Wants No Stage Work.
There is one thing that Gotch
wants understood, and that is he does
not care to make any stage appear
ances before or after the fight. He
does not care about money, for he's
through with the wrestling game and
has made himself wealthy in the last
few years"
Calls johnson Fakir.
Chicago, July 11.-Charges made
by George Little that he faxed his
fight with Stanley Ketchel; that none
of his ring battles since he became
champion we're fought honestly, and
that he was the biggest liar in the
world, were denied by Jack Johnson
before departing for New York.
''If could break my contract with
Hammerstein, I'd stay here in Chi
cago and make George Little eat ev-
cry word he said about me or make
him prove them," declared the heavy
weight champion. He's the one that
is lying, not me. 1 will probably be
back in Chicago in about two or
three weeks, and I'll give Mr.. Little
some real entertainment, legally or
any way he wants to settle matters.
I'm getting mighty tired of his accus-
ations and I'll make him prove them"
Little has not given up his attack
upon the negro pugilist. On his ar
rival in Chicago he isued a statement
charging Johnson with taking in his
fight with Ketchel and branding
Johnson as one of the worst prevari-
Gators in the world.
Hes about as crooked as they
make them said Little vehemently.
"He never fought fair fight in his
life. He would double-cross his best
friend. That's the kind of man he
