NEW STORE DOING
WELL
NEW HABERDASHERY STORE IN
TEMPORARY LOCATION GET
TING BUSINESS PROPRIETOR
PLEASED WITH WENATCHEE

The new store that opened in the
Gehr block last Saturday has been
doing better than the proprietor, M.
c. Allsabrook, expected it would. The
location is block beyond the regu-
lar retail district and was only chosen
because Mr.. Allsabrook could not To-
cate quickly anywhere else.
He came here a short time ago
bringing large stock of mems fur
nishings with him, thinking that he
could easily get location. The best
he could do was to get temporary
opening in the Gehr block on Wen
atchee avenue, near Second street
North.
Mr.. Allsabrook scored over the dis
advantages of the location by having
stock that is worth going out Of
the way to find. He has made some
reductions in prices, too, that offer
Another large inducement to the buy
ing public, and states that the notice
he has received SINCE opening last
Saturday has been very encouraging
and more than he expected to get
in new place.

ing for a game here on April 3rd.
Should the Spokane Indians accept
the proposition to train here the first

Stanley relative to taking charge of
the Wenatchee team, but so far no
arrangements have been perfected.
Should Mr.. Stanley come over here
he desires to go into business, and
as yet there has been nothing OPEN

Great Northern Trains Nos. Is and II, WeSfboune
Which Passed Through Here Last Tuesday
Night Carried $50 Feet Into Deep
Canyon Near Wellington

Everett, Wash, March 2.-Super-
intendent O'Neil of the Great North
ern, directing the relief work in the
mountains, telegraphs 60 lives lost
yesterday in the avalanche. Every
effort is being made to restore tele-
graph communication. 1t will be
impossible to reach the scene of the
wreck today except by foot travel.
From the east side of the Cascades
the approach is cut off by a snow
slide at Drury, six miles west of
Leavenworth, which destroyed the
station and killed Waterman John
son. The wounded are being cared
for at Wellington.
1t is expected that the bodies of
the dead will be embalmed, it being
impossible to bring them out on
sleds.
The weather in the mountains
continues warm and the rescue par
ties will be in constant peril of
snowslides.
The cars of the two Great North
ern trains were carried $50 feet into
the canyon and buried in the debris.
The town of Wellington and the
Great Northern power house were
not destroyed.

ing, though naturally they were adj
vertised as Spokane apples.
No trouble was encountered on

City Council Took Action Last Night Which Will
Put Many Old Buildings in Business Section
Out of Commission-Cluster Lights
Discussed Informally

At the meeting of the council last
night Councilman Russell brought up
the matter of allowing improvements
to be made on the ancient frame
buildings on Wenatchee avenue. It
has been the custom of allowing
them when nothing in the improve
ments tend to increase the fire haz-
ard. The council went on record to
allow no more Improvements and a
motion was passed instructing the
city engineer to refer all such mat
tiers to the council in the future.
The steps leading to the entrances
of the frame buildings have only
been sanctioned by the city for a
definite time and the time limit was
up on the first of March The city
engineer was instructed to have the
steps removed, which will have the
effect of leaving the buildings too
high above the sidewalks for con-
venient access The only remedy is
to move the fronts of the buildings
back far enough to put in the steps
again within the sidewalk strip. AS
that will not be allowed the build
ings will be up in the air and not
practical for business purposes. The
council expects some action on the
part of the owners OF the buildings
but will await the developments in
the matter.
The report of the fire committee
on new apparatus was not ready and
was postponed for another week.
Options on the crematory lot and
the lot for the corporation yard
were secured
Mayor Gellatly spoke of request
that was made to him for assistance
to Johnny Bowman, who was hurt
on city sidewalk about two months
ago. Council instructed the health
officer to investigate and make re-
port
There was some discussion regard
ing the English sparrows that are
multiplying rather fast in the city,
but the council took no definite ac-
ton in the matter.
The auditors report Of the city's
books was presented and referred to
the finance committee.
A request from the Wenatchee
Electric company was read in which
the city was reminded of an old or
dinance relative to lacking bills on
the company's poles. The electric
company maintained that the bills

MUD SLIDE is CLEARED
Train Delayed at Monitor Went East This Morning
Trains Also Left for Mansfield This Fore
noon-No Improvement in Cascades
and Service Still Blocked

The local situation at this point
on the Great Northern railway is
some better today, although the stu
alton in the Cascades is no better.
The slide four miles west of Wenat-
chez has been cleared. No. A of
yesterday was able to move east
early this morning. 1t is probable
that there will be no more difficulty
at this place as the snow has melted
so that the tracks may be kept clear
The tracks east of Wenatchee to
Spokane are in such shape that traf-
fic may continue between these
points. There will be no passenger
trains west other than the Mansfield
train until l a. m. tomorrow, when
No. rs will run from Spokane to
Leavenworth. This train will be
turned about at Leavenworth as No.
"A and will leave Wenatchee at 5:15
a. m.
The Mansfield train left for the
east this morning at IL a. m. and
will return today If the conditions
are favorable.
There is trouble in Montana and
in the Kootenai valley and it may be
some days before the tracks in that
region are cleared.
In the Cascades there have been
no changes for the better Though
the railway company has been work
ing diligently to clear the tracks,
there has been little Roadway made
against the crumbling mountains.
Seattle, March 2-The storm king,
beginning with a three days bonn
bardment of snow followed by a like
number of days of incessant rain
and in such a downpour as has not
been witnessed in the northwest in
two decades, holds western Wash
ington in his grip and much of the
eastern portion of the state as well
and the situation has now reached
a climax menacing to human life
through starvation and death in
treacherous slides.
From 100 to $50 passengers on
trains snowbound in the Cascades,
with washouts in front of them and
behind them, are suffering from hun
ger. The railroads, the Great North
ern and the Northern Pacific, the two
transcontinental lines crossing the
Cascades, are utterly paralyzed and
the branch lines are crippled and
