GETS
SHORE LANDS
STATE ADVERTISEMENT LOWERED
THE NORTH COAST SECURES
LAND WANTED AT GREATLY
REDUCED PRICE.

Olympia, May 26.-Robert Stra-
horns irrigation and power company
will be given a deed from the state
for shore lands on the Columbia
river necessary in its plans to divert
water and develop power near Priest
Rapids for $4,000, which is just
SIS, 900 less than the valuation fixed
by the state land board some weeks
ago.
The company protested the orig
inal appraisement of $4,000, and
at recent meeting at Seattle, Tax
Commissioners Rockwell, Frost, Pari-
ish and Forester Welty agreed unan-
imously that the protest was well
taken and that the state should not
ask more than $4,000.
These members of the board today
advised Land Commissioner Ross of
their decision in the matter and a
formal order of the board was en-
tered ordering a deed at the $40,
price.

Resident of Chicago rs Years.

Chicago, May 26.-Fernando
Jones, the millionaire who long ago
established his reputation as the
court of last resort for all disputes
concerning the early history of Chi
cago, kept open house for his friends
today in celebration of his ninetieth
birthday anniversary Mr.. Jones
settled in Chicago in 1885 AMI one
if his earliest memories of the city
is that of viewing Halley's comet
from the lake front seventy-five
years ago. At that time Fort Dear
born still existed for the protection
of the citizens against the Pottawa-
tonne Indians who lived in the vi
cinity. While still young man he
went into the abstract business and
compiled abstracts Of all the titles
in the county These titles were the
only ones existing after the official
records were destroyed in the great
Chicago fire and from them Mr..
Jones and his associates in business
reaped large fortunes,

Paris to Adopt City Ways.

Paris, May 26.-To persons who
have read Of the gayeties of the
French capital and who have form
ed an idea that Parisians generally
are in the habit of turning night in
to day, it will be something of a
revelation to learn that next week
there will be inaugurated the first
all-night omnibus service ever run
in this city. The fact that the peo-
pie heretofore have never felt the
need OF a such a service would seem
to indicate that as a rule they are
given to keeping early hours. The
alI-night buses will be run for a
month to determine whether the ven-
ture will pay.

For 1872 Balk Line Championship.

New York, May 26.-Lovers of the
green table sport are keenly inter-
ested in tonight's match for the 1872
balk line billiard championship be-
tween Harry Cline of Philadelphia
the present holder of the champion
ship title, and Willie Hoppe, the
youthful wonder with the cue. The
match, which will be played at the
New York Theatre concert hall, win
be at 500 points, and the winner will
receive a purse of $1,000 and gold
medal emblematic of the champion
ship. Both of the principals appear
to be in excellent form for the con-
test. Hoppe is confident he will win
the title and Cline is equally sure he
will be able to retain his champion
ship.

SAY TREATMENT OF I. w. w.
PRISONERS is BRUTAL-NOT
OTHERWISE IN SYMPATHY
WITH STRIKE MAKERS.

Expressing indignation at the
treatment being accorded to a couple
of prisoners now in the city Jail, the
socialists who met at Beale hall last
night decided to make an appeal to
all Wenatchees religious orders, as
the city has no especial humane So
ciety.

Men VS.. Principles.

Principles were not defended or
discussed during the consideration
of the plight of the two I. w. w.
men are in who are serving 80 days
in the dark dungeon of the city Jail
with bread and water for sustenance
Apparently the socialist party thinks
along entirely different lines than the
Industrial Workers do, and the ac-
ton that it took last night could
have been taken with equal right by
any other organization in the city,
The humane side, only, of the pri
soners' situation was discussed.
Deciding to enlist the assistance of
the churches in the effort to release
the men from such durance, a COM
mittee was appointed to call on all
the ministers and other leaders to-
day. This action was chosen, rather
than to appear before the city coun-
Gil next Tuesday, in view Of the fact
that the prisoners were liable to be-
come pretty thin If no action were
taken until the next meeting night
of the councilmen. Bailing the men
from Jail was not practicable as the
men are unwilling to accept bail,
preferring martyrdom.

the testatOr-the four sons already
mentioned and Mrs. Emma c. Ferris.
The attack on the trust took the form
Of a demurrer to a petition of Rudolph

originally attorney for the executors
but Cushing & Cushing were substi-
tuted before the argument on the va
