MOUNTA|NEERS IN
CITY SUNDAY
Seattle Party, IS Strong,
Will See Wenatchee
Valley.

Sixty-five members of the Seattle
Mountaineers club will arrive here
Sunday morning on the boat from
Chelan. They have tramped across
the Cascades and are now on the re-
turn trip. The schedule calls for ar
rival in Wenatchee on Sunday morn
ing and departure for Seattle on No.
43, which arrives at 1902.
A committee from the commercial
club, composed of A. Baptie, G. H.
Pau and A. J. Mitchell will meet the
mountain climbers at the boat, es-
cort them to the club rooms and pro-
vide a lunch there, after which the
visitors will be taken out through
the valley in automobiles to see the
orchards.
The committee especially desires
to urge ranchers who can do so to
bring some peaches to the club to be
served at the luncheon. 1t is hoped
to make the Puget Saunders so i'm
pressed with the resources of this
valley and the hospitality of it's peo-
pie that they will carry away pleas
ant memories and feel disposed ever
afterwards to speak none but kind
words for Wenatchee.

Passed Good Night-Doctor
Does Not Deem Oper-
alton Necessary.

New York, Aug. 10.-At II a. m.
Mayor Gaynor continues to do well.
1t is the unanimous opinion of the
surgeons that no operation is nee
essary at this time. DR.. Wagner,
who visited the hospital this morn
ing, said he learned that the ma
yors temperature during the night
was 1O3 and that at the present
time it was 1902.
Preceding bulletins had been
equally reassuring and brought word
that the patient had passed a good
might and no untoward symptoms had
developed. Secretary Adamson, who
remained with the mayor all night,
considered the outlook very hopeful.
There is danger, however, that the
shot passed so close to the artery
that hemorrhages may be brought
on from the attenuated artery wall.
ability, however. X ray examination
last night showed that the bullet
split shortly after it entered the
head, one section remaining near the
entrance point of the wound behind
the ear and the other apparently is
lying in the floor of the mouth near
the left wing of the jawbone.
Besides Adamson and the physi-
clans, Mrs. Gaynor and son Rufus
spent the night near the mayors
bedside. The mayor slept intermit-
tently, but Mrs. Gaynor slept scarcely
a quarter of an hour all night. At
frequent intervals she stole quietly
into the mayors chamber and on sew
eral occasions found him awake. At
such times he conversed cheerfully
with her.
1880 p, m.-Gaynor is resting
comfortably. There is no apprecia-
tive change. Physicians hope no
operation will be necessary.
Gallagher, the would-be assassin,
was carefully guarded In MS cell all
night to prevent his making any at
tempt at suicide. He shows no re-
morse and seems to regard himself
as a hero. Prosecutor Garvin today
began preparation of the case against
Gallagher. 1t will be subject to
change necessitated by the change
for the worse in the mayors condi-
ton. Gallagher will be indicted by
the grand jury this week for assault
with intent to kill, and Garvin ex-
poets to bring him to trial not later
than the first of next week. The
penalty for this crime is II years
Imprisonment.

INDIANS SIGNING
CONTRACTS
600 Assembled in War Coun.
Gil and Give McMurray
Contract to Sell.

McAlester, Okla, Aug. 1O-Six
hundred Indians assembled at a war
council at Sulphur Springs, used up
almost an entire bottle of ink in
signing individually the McMurray
land contracts. Although informed
that McMurray would net from g.
OOO,0 900 to 100000 in attorneys
fees the Indians were advised that
the contracts afforded the quickest
way to realize on their lands, esti-
mated to be worth between $780,
OOO,O0 and $40,0O0,0O0.
James H. Godfrey, a Chickasaw
Indian by intermarriage, gave his
testimony before the congressional
investigating today.
Godfrey said he induced the Indi-
ans to sign because McMurray had
been successful in previous litiga-
ton for the government and the In
dams believed if they gave him ten
per cent attorney fees he would be
able to have the authorities expedite
the sale.

Petition Being Circulated
by South End Residents
to Come Into Fold.

DIR. S. T. Miller and other property
owners of the district south of the
city are circulating a petition not
only among the property owners IN
the district affected but in the city
for the purpose of securing an cleo
ton favorable to the annexation OF
the proposed territory which is
about two blocks wide and five long
and in which there are from 80 to 80
families residing. The law pres
cribes that to bring about an election
for annexation the petition presented
to the city council should carry 80
per cent of the voters at the last pre-
vious general election. AS soon as
the petition carries the requisite
number of voters it will be presented
to the city council and it is likely
that the matter can be submitted at
the municipal election this fall.
The territory which it is desired
TO be annexed is particularly des-
cribed as follows:
Beginning at the intersection OF
the center line of Cashmere street
with the southerly corporate limit
line of the city of Wenatchee, Wash
ington; thence in sOutherly dlrec-

JUDGE CHASE W|THDRAWS
IN FAVOR Of T.A.ATK|NSON
Big Surprise in Politics When Cashmere Man With
draws His Candidacy for Legislature in Favor of
Entiat Man-Atkinson Will Take Statutory Pledge
to Support Popular Choice for United States Senator

The political surprise of the week
came this morning in the withdrawal
| of Judge James H. Chase, of Cash
mere, from the race for county rep
Iresentative. Judge Chase was one
of the first candidates to file and has
large circle of friends through the
county who will regret his decision
in this matter. The reason given by
Judge Chase is that he cannot af-
ford to neglect his private interests,
having charge of an orchard, and his
belief that possibly a younger man
might make a more active campaign
for the office.
| In public statement made this
morning to his friends, Judge Chase
says:
"To the Voters of Chelan County:
With kindly regards for my
friends who have urged me to be-
come a candidate for the legislature,
| feel it my duty to say that l have
had serious doubts as to the wisdom
of my doing so, for it will necessi-
tate the neglect of my orchard and
land, and as my friend Mr. Atkinson
will be the candidate for the people,
and retrenchment in the affairs of
the county and state, | take pleasure
in withdrawing from the contest in
the interest of Mr. Atkinson and bet
ter government.
j. H. CHASE"
Judge Chase is one of the most
insistent that T. H. Atkinson de-
clare his candidacy. and it is expect
ed that he will do so during the
week Judge Chase states that he
will pledge his friends and his own
efforts to the election of Mr. Atkin-
son.

WILL CIRCULATE
WET PETITION
Chas. Becker Will Have in
Charge Matter of Sc
curing Signatures.

A petition will be circulated be-
ginning tomorrow morning asking
for a resubmission of the license
question at the next general election
Charles Becker will have the petition
in charge. Whether anyone else will
assist him in the work has not yet
been decided.
A prominent attorney of the city
who favors high license said to a
World reporter today that number
of citizens who before voted dry
now desire to have the question pre-
scented again. Some of these former
dry voters frankly say that they
will vote the same way again, but
they wish to know how the majority
feel after a years trial of running
the city's finances without the help
of license money.
This attorney also states that a
considerable change of sentiment has
been found among employees of the
large business houses of the city.
Merchants themselves, some of them,
are absolutely non-commital. But
their clerks, bookkeepers and other
helpers are taking a different view
of the question from what they did
a year ago, if the report is correct.
But these same employees are expect
ed to refuse when the question of
signing the petition is presented to
them. For instance, it is claimed
that in one of the large business
houses all but two employees will vote
wet" this year, although a year ago
their sentiment was just the oppo-
site.
The 'drys," on the other hand,
are just as insistent that the dry
sentiment is stronger now than at
the special election.

FIRE CONDITIONS
IMPROVED
Officer at Missoula Says the
Troops Have Rendered
Valuable Assistance.

Washington, D. c., Aug. 10.-Fire
conditions in the National Forests
have improved. A telegram from
District Forester Silcox at Missoula
has reported that all fires in his
territory have been placed under
control except those on Clearwater
and Occur d'Alene reserves in Ida
no. He said that federal troops
from Fort Harrison and Missoula are
cooperating with the range forces
in fighting fires.
Silcox estimates that about 200,-
900 acres have been burned over.
Forest officials here are unable to
approximate the monetary loss with
any degree of accuracy because they
are without definite information as
to the extent of the devastation
from over the burned area. 1t is
thought, however, the loss will be
very heavy.

.LANGF0RD MEETS
KAUFMAN
Must Make Good Showing
or Forfeit Chance to
Fight Johnson.

Sam Langford will get chance to
prove whether he is worthy of q
match with Jack Johnson when he
meets Al Kaufman today in the
American League ball park at Phila-
delphia. Langford and Kaufman are
scheduled to go six rounds, and
should the negro prove Kaufman S
master in this short bout he will
have something to back his claim
that he deserves consideration at the
hands of the worlds champion.
Langford is giving away 40 pounds
in his fight today. He will be OPP
posed to a man five or six inches his
better in height Langford is used
to fighting big men, however, and
has a hitting power in both hands
which has put many a giant away.
Johnson has shown his decided su-
periority over Kaufman, both in a
ten-round battle at San Francisco
last September and while training
for the fight with JeffrieS, when
Kaufman served on his retinue of
sparring partners, so that Langford
must give Kaufman a beating or
lose his chance at the big black who
holds the heavyweight title.
Kaufman and LangfOrd were
scheduled to meet in San Francisco
last June, but Governor Gillett'S anti
fight edict put the match on the
shelf.

JOE CANS DIED At
HIS HOME
Death Resulted From Tu-
berculosis Which Devel-
oped a Year Ago.

Baltimore, Md, Aug. 10.-Joe
Cans, former lightweight champion,
died this morning of tuberculosis.
The disease manifested itself about
year ago. Last spring he went to
Arizona in the hope of restoring his
health, but the disease had already
made too great inroads. He re-
turned home last week to die. He
was thirty-four years old. Cans
true name was Cant, the name of
Cans having been fastened on him
early in his ring career by mistake
of referee. He began his ring car
eer in 1894, although he had gained
some reputation locally before that.
Cans won the lightweight title from
Frank Erne in one round in 1902
and lost it to Battling Nelson in
1908 in II rounds.

STATE APPLE CROP
DOUBLED
Commissioner Huntley Says
There Will Be 1880 More
Cars Than in 1907.

Tacoma, Wash, Aug. 0.-Wash-
ington's apple crop for 1910 will dou-
BILE that of 1907.
Figures received in Tacoma today
from the office of F. A. Huntley,
state horticultural commissioner
compiled after comparing reports
from deputies in various parts of the
state, give every reason to believe
that the yield for the whole state
this year will be from 125 TO $50
per cent. more than any yearly crop
yet boxed and that this will more
than double the 1,425,000 boxes
shipped out of the state in 1907.
This estimate is declared by the
commissioner to be conservative.
There are many growers who believe
the crop will go above 5,250,000
boxes or more than $3.50 cars, in
Guiding fruit to be consigned to local
markets.
The commissioner makes a conser-
vative estimate of 100000 boxes
or about $500 cars, the bulk of
which will go to New York, Boston,
Philadelphia. Chicago, Minneapolis
and other points. Export shipments
will be larger this season than ever
before in the history of the state.
Many new orchards are coming in,
particularly in the fruit lands west
of the mountains, where lands have
more recently been converted into
apple territory. Hundreds of thou
sands of trees are coming into bear
ing this year.
The orchardists of the state, says
report of the commissioner, are in
position financially to hold their ap-
pies for the best prices. This, to-
gether with the drouth and the dam
age to fruit crops through the CEN
trail states will be the means of many
fortunes being reaped this year.

NO OPPONENT IN SIGHT
Sheriff Ferguson, Republican, and
Treasurer Battles, Democrat,
Seem to Have Field Alone.

Saturday is the last day for filing
for county office, and from present
indications Sheriff J. E. Ferguson
will have no opponents either in his
own party or in the democratic par
ty. Treasurer Battles, democrat,
also seems to have the field alone,
and it is not anticipated that there
will be any further filings for either
sheriff or treasurer.
Both men have made exemplary
officers and from present indica-
tions there does not seem to be any
disposition on the part of candi-
dates to contest the office against
them.

DRINKING F0UN-
1A|NS NEEDED
Secretary Coburn Believes
Business District Should
Have Drinking Water.

Where can any stranger on the
streets get a drink of water? This
Is the question put by George Co.
burn, secretary of the Commercial
Club, to World reporter. The
thirsty man or woman-and these
are the days when people are thirsty
most of the time-must either go
into a store and beg a drink of wa
ter or buy some thirst-quenching
beverage at one of the soda foun-
tains.
Nearly every municipality in the
country provides drinking fountains
on the principal corners of the down
town district. Why should Wenat-
chez be taking the rear in this
much-needed provision for public
comfort.
