son, chief clerk of the department
They were headed for the Colville
reservation, having been the first
autoist this season to make the ride
over the pass from the Sound coun-
try
They went from here through the
Big Bend to the mouth of the Spo-
kane river At Falls City dam was
in course of construction and fur
Their progress appeared dubious. But
there were two big derricks at work,
one on each side of the stream. The
idea was suggested of lifting the big
machine over the river. Accordingly
the cables were placed around the
car and it was then lifted out to the
middle of the stream to a spot made
solid for the building of the dam.
From that point the derrick on the
opposite side carried the machine to
solid ground once more and the pro-
gress of the tour continued with on
ly a short delay.
Mr.. Johnson states that his car
was submitted to very severe treat
ment while en- route to and from
the reservation. He waded streams
and sand and dust, climbed noun
tains and rocked about over the
rockiest kind of places. The Column
bia garage of this city is agent for
this car, a thirty horsepower, the
same as the Wenner car of this city,
and for that reason, Mr.. Johnson
stopped over to have his machine
given a good overhauling. But no
serious damage was discovered. A
little adjusting was done and the
party were soon on their way to Ia
coma over the Cascades on the re-
turn trip.

WIVES SHOULD GET
SALARIES
Club Woman of This City
Advocates System in
Vogue in England.

Il am very much surprised" said
a well known club woman of this
city to the Daily World this morn
| ing, lat the showing made on wo-
mans suffrage in the straw ballot
being conducted by the Daily World.
Naturally l supposed that a larger
percentage of the men and women
| in this city favored equal suffrage.
1t is considerable disappointment to
me- / trust, however, that the same
sentiment does not exist all over the
state, for if it does, it means that
our equal suffrage amendment
which will be voted upon in Novem-
Der will be defeated.
Il surely believe that the men of
the city and valley have not given
careful study to the matter or they
would not have expressed themselves
the way they did in the straw bal
lot
Il am very much interested in a
law that has been introduced in
Great Britain providing that wives
who attend faithfully to their house
hold duties shall receive salaries.
If they watch over their children,
keep the house in order, see that
the dinner is always prepared, etc,
according to the new law they may
demand a certain share of the week
ly or monthly wages their husbands
bring in.
IF this law were suddenly to be-
come effective in Wenatchee, what
legal complications would soon arise.
There might be an advantage for
husbands in some instances. In
cases where the wife neglected her
home and husband for the club and
suffragette movements, the matinee
or the shopping tour, the husband
might be held justifiable in the law
in denying her her wages. There
would probably be a REIMBURSEMENT OF
the several liabilities and response
biities of the home and the divorce
court might find itself idle a large
part of the time.
Then again, the greater majority
of Wenatchee wives would benefit,
for in too many cases it is not rec
opnized that they are equal partners
in the domestic concern and fully
entitled to an equal share in the
family earnings, albeit that their
sphere of endeavor is within the
family circle. Too many are grudged
the share of the weekly pay envel-
ope or check as the case may be,
and some husbands do not seem TO
realize how humiliating it is for the
wife to be obliged to ask for every
cent she gets to spend.
statistics of divorce court show
that the money question enters
largely into domestic infeliclty and
the law proposed in England has Its
good points, for neither could blame
the other for financial disaster. 1t
would round out the legislation al
ready enacted in Anglo-Saxon coun-
tries for the fairer, but no longer
the weaker sex in person and prop
erty."

Find Wild Alfalfa.

Spokane, Aug. 19.-Experienced
farmers in Spokane county believe
that the discovery of wild alfalfa
known to botanists as "medgicaga

by w. II. Heideman, superintendent
of the sub-experiment station, con-
Quoted by the United States govern
ment at Clagstone, Idaho, will solve

arid districts, where others die from
heat and lack of moisture, is SINH
lar to tame alfalfa The blossom is
a pinkish white and resembles the
plant brought to this country from
Russia by Prefssor Hanson of South
Dakota, who was sent abroad by the
government to find plant adapted
to semi-arid districts. The pods are
the same size and shape as those or
tame alfalfa. Mr.. Heideman found
the plants in the Hoodoo valley, for
merly given over to placer gold
miners. in a spot where there is no
chance for even nature to Sub-irri

tation is practically dead. Profess
sor Heideman has sent specimens of
the plant to prominent botanists for

STRONG LIST OF CANDIDATES.

While Chelan county has a large
number of aspirants for public hon.
ors this year, it can be said that each
one of them is a gentleman in every
sense of the word and if elected will
serve the county efficiently. The
only embarrassment the voter will
have will be to make selections from
candidates who are equally worthy
of their suffrage.
The high class of men who have
presented themselves as candidates
is a testimonial to the worth of the
direct primary law and will confirm
the people in their determination not
only to retain the law but to
strengthen it's provisions where de-
fects have been found.
Under the spirit and provisions of
this law, it is up to the people them
selves to determine who shall admin
lister the business of the county and
represent them in the legislature and
there is no question but that they
will give the claims of each aspir-
ant respectful consideration and act
ment.

1t is significant that President Taft
sent a message of congratulatiOn to
William Hayward who won the nomi-
nation for congress on an anti-Can-
non platform in the first district of
Nebraska in the primaries last Tues
day This message was sent by the
president coincident with the an
nouncement of Congressman Long
worth made Immediately after an
interview with the president, that he
would not support the speaker in
his aspirations for reelection.
II remains to be seen whether
Secretary Ballinger will still persist
in his refusal to resign after it has
been so plainly intimated to him by
the administration that his resigna-
ton is desirable Mr.. Ballinger, at
the time of his meeting with Senator
Crane in St. Paul emphatically de-
MED that the question of his resigna-
ton was the topic of conversation,
but it has developed since that this
was the sole purpose of the senator's
visit. In case he persists in his re-
Ffusal, the administration will be
forced to deal with him as 1t has with
Mr.. Cannon and this will be unfor-
tunate.

One Record Made by Women.

Through the activity of women, in
the anti-tuberculosis campaign, sana-
toria and hospitals for the treatment
of tuberculosis have been erected;
travelling libraries have been circu-
lated, posters, circulars and other
kinds of literature have been distrib-
uted to the number of millions OF
pieces, thousands of lectures have
been given, large sums Of money have
been secured, hundreds of needy cases
have been helped; tuberculosis work
has been started in many communi-
ties where no movement had existed:
and millions Of women have learned
the dangers and methods Of preven-
ton of tuberculosis. The work Of the
women extends from the drawing-room
of the rich to the homes of the poor.
and embraces all classes, including the
factory girl and millionaire. During
the coming year special campaign Of

POLITICAL.

Indications continue to multiply that
President Taft's participation in the
New York state fight is ended for good
The President is not resident of New
York and does not feel it to be the
province of the President to interfere
in local politics.
James Il. Garfield, secretary of the
interior under Roosevelt, has left his
Mentor, Ohio, home, for a speaking
tour of the West, during which he will
ally himself with Roosevelt and Pin
chot in the discussion of Progressive
Republicanism and conservation of the
national resources.

try gradually is being focused on New

tween the Republican and Democratic

President Taft in communication
