PITCHER ON STATE
AID WORK
Points Out That Chelan is
Not a Shining Example
of State Work,

Il was considerably interested In
the articles in last weeks Daily
World on the state aid law and bond
ing for roads, by DR.. King and Coun-
ty Engineer Berry. | want to say
frankly that Mr.. Berry is we'll post
ed on the matter under discussion.
but Dr.. King and some of the other
people who are upholding the state
aid road law, have not acquainted
| themselves Thoroughly as to the
facts
Dr. King states in his article
that The objections to the state aid
road law emanated probably from
the county engineers who are la
boring under the misrepresentation
that the highway commission was
usurping their rights and restricting
their influence in the counties. when
in fact the commission protects the
counties of the state against the
avariciOus contractor by compelling
him to build bridges costing over
$4,000 under plans and specifications
submitted by the highway commits
sion instead of permitting construc-
ton under the old method which
gave to each contractor a wide field
for jobbing the unsophisticated coun-
ty engineer
During my administration the
county has built four bridges. The
system in vogue in this county is
that the general plans are submit
ted to the various contractors for
bids and each contractor submits the
style in conformance with the gen.
eral specifications given by the coun-
/ ty engineer, and all four bridges
| which have been built during the
past year have been under the super
vision of Bowerman & McCloy. Sc
attic engineers. who have been en-
ployed considerably by the state
highway commissioners. The bridge
at Peshastin was a duplicate of the
bridge built by the state highway
commission at Twisp. Our bridge
was put in for less money than was
the bridge at Twisp. OF course, |
realize that there should be some
difference on account of freight, but
I do not see that the Twisp bridge
was any saving to the state over the
bridge at Peshastin built by county
money.
Furthermore. speaking about the
state aid road work in Chelan coun-
| ty. l will say that it has not been a
success so far. The work north OF
| the Wenatchee river bridge cost Che
Ian county $4,000, and there is prac-
| tically nothing to show for the ex-
penditure. That is one reason that
| am not satisfied with what | can
see of state aid road work. | am
in favor of the bonding scheme for
good roads. and am in favor of each
county going ahead and doing its own
| work without having county money
go through the hands Of the state
highway commission"

FOR APPLES
P. B. Packwood Sold 1000
Boxes in His Old Home
in Nebraska.

P. B. Packwood returned today
from two months trip to Nebraska,
where he took 1000 boxes of apples
for sale. These were raised on his
home place at Entiat and netted him
an average of $1.65 per box. All va
rieties were sold in Nebraska on an
average of 1925, the freight was so
cents and other incidental expenses
amounted to 10 cents, leaving $1.65
net from the 1000 boxes.
Mr. Packwood retai1ed all of his
apples in the small towns in north
eastern Nebraska. making his head
quarters at Norfolk. He is well salts
fed with his experience and states
that he expects to ship all his own
apples east every year. Mr.. Pack
wood, from his ranch on the Entiat
this year, took off 41S1 boxes from
approximately eight acres of seven
year old trees. Stayman Winesaps
and Black Bens formed the bulk of
his crop.
Mr.. Packwood gave the people of
Nebraska their first introduction to
western apples and he states there
will be no difficulty in obtaining a
market for western apples there each
year. Heretofore the supply has come
from Missouri and most of the apples
were wormy and of inferior stock
The people of that section were very
much pleased with the apples and
there will be no trouble whatever in
finding a ready market for them
each year.
In the four thousand boxes shipped
boxes of Delicious which were sold
for $500 per box. and he probab bly,
could have gotten more if he had
had the nerve to ask it.

Biz STEAMER
OlYNP IS
WRECKED
Carried 1O6 Passengers but
They Were Taken
From Vessel.

Valdez, Alaska, Dec. 12.-All pas
sengers on the steamer Olympia,
which went on the rocks at Bligh Is
land Saturday night, were taken off
at 4 o'clock yesterday afternoon, to-
gether with the mail and baggage
and conveyed to Valdez and Ellamar.
Most of the passengers are here.
Those at Ellamar are we'll cared for.
The crew was also saved. 1t is pos
sible to save the freight on the Olym-
pia but it is feared the ship will be a
total loss.
The Olympia left Cordova at six
o'clock Saturday evening in fierce
gale. The ship became unmanage-
able. About midnight it ran hard
fast on Bligh Island reef. Wireless
Operator Hayes sent out a distress
call which was picked up at Cordova
and Valdez and gave as much infor-
nation as possible until the water
put the fires out and made the wire
less unavoidable.
The government launch Donaldson
from Fort Liscum and the steamer
June went to it's assistance and took
off the passengers without mishap to
any of them.
Judge Cushman, Mrs. Cushman
and other ladies and children were
left at Ellamar from whence they
will be brought to Valdez. Nothing
has been heard of the steamer Dora,
the third vessel which went to the
relief of the Olympia. Four mem
bers of the Olympia's crew are stand
ing by the ship.
The Olympia sailed from Seattle
December 6 with 106 passengers and
several hundred tons of freight. The
MESSENGERS who went north on the
Olympia first sailed on the steamship
Northwestern, which grounded In
False bay, San Juan island, early in
the morning of December 2, few
hours after sailing from Seattle for
the north. The Northwestern pas
sengers were brought back to Seat
tie and resumed their journey on the
Olympia, which was hurriedly put
into service.
The Olympia, an iron screw steam
ship of 1887 tons. gross, was built at
Glasgo win 1888, and was christened
the Dunbar Castle. Later the YES
sci was transferred to American reg
lister, and her name changed to the
Olympia. Her home port is Seattle
She was under command of Capt. j
II. Daniels, and was valued at $780,
900.

Olympia struck, is unlighted. This

very quick about it and ran away as

however, as a member of the black

made an attempt on his life while in
Spokane.
The foreman of the italian labor

the unfortunate young man to the
office of DR.. Culp After the wound
was dressed the doctor attempted to
get some information but couldn' t

PRESIDENT TAFT
 SENDS MESSAGE

Washington, February s.-President Taft today sent a special message to Congress urging relief for a number of workmen injured on the Panama canal prior to the passage of the act of May 30, 1908, which definitely fixed the compensation to be allowed to injured employees or granted 10 their families in case of death. The President cites a number of deserving cases wherein the government is liable. but which have been held up for lack of authority. He recommends that suitable legislation be enacted authorizing the Secretary of Commerce and Labor to set tie all claims on account of death or per- manent disability or maiming of em- poyes by accident.
 IF his message the President says:
 Tt needs no argument to establish the obligation which the government of the United States is under to provide relief for it's employees who are permanently dis abled or maimed, and for the families of those who are thus injured or killed through no fault of their own while enl- ployed upon work of such hazardous char acter as that connected with the construc- tion of the Isthmian canal. This obli- gation is recognized by the act of May 20, 1908. and by section 8 of the Panama canal bill (H. R. 12s16), now pending be- fore Congress. It seems right that some general law should be enacted which will enable a reasonable allowance to be made to employees who were permanently disabled or maimed and to the families of those who were killed in accidents oc- curing prior to that date through no fault of their oWn.'

Chicago, February More power to the interstate commerce commission" was urged by United States Senator albert B. Cummins of Iowa in an address before the Traffic club here tonight.
 T will not try to convince the corpora lions that they are sound and well. be- cause they are already on the operating table" declared the senator in opening his ren1a rks.
 ''The surgeons knife Is gleaming all around them," said he, and I shall not try to convince them after 1t is all over they will be stronger because undue strength is the very disease from which they suffer. But l will try to convince them that after 1t is over they will be better and saner."
 Senator Cummins' topic was "The h. terstate Commerce Commission. the Addi- tional Power It Requires to More Com pletely Fulfill It's Functions"
 After declaring that corporations were necessity. because. for instance, no one man could build 8 railroad from New York to San Francisco" Senator Lum- mins said he took up the history of the interstate commerce laws. and continu- ing, said
 I am not in the least disposed to with draw any credit that ought to be at tached to a person. But 1 must be al- lowed to say that that bill which was en- acted in 1906. instead of bearing the name of ". P.

NAVAL COMMITTEE

Washington, February S.-The fight in the naval committee of the House over the Meyer reorganization plan and the ru- mored intention of Secretary Meyer to discipline Rear Admirals Capps and Rog- CTS for testifyirg before the committee against his plan. continues to arouse feel- ing in the vicinity of the committee rooms.
 Rear Admiral Casper F. Goodrich. re- tired. was a witness before the commit tee today, and, while he did not directly attack the Meyer plan, he said he did not believe Secretary Meyer has given the Newberry plan sufficient trial before re- placing 1t with another. He said the Newberry plan would have saved the navy department upward of million dollars annually.
 A member of the committee commented upon the proposed disciplining of Rear Admirals Rogers and Capps.
 They will not be discharged so long as Congress Is in session. he said. ''Secre- tary Meyer will find that he can not chop off a subordinatc's head whenever 1t pleases him to do so. Does he suppose that the government which trains a naval officer from boyhood, at an expense of thousands of dollars, can not, through one of it's legislative bodies. ask that of- ficer such questions as It wishes?
