HEALTH OFFICERS
ACTIVE
INVESTIGATE THE SLAUGHTER
HOUSES, UNSANITARY RANCH
ES AND MILK SUPPLY STA
TION-MUST CLEAN UP.

Realizing the tremendous import
ance of maintaining sanitary and
healthful conditions, DR.. Mccoy, the
county health officer, and DR.. Kaupp,
the city health officer, made several
tours yesterday to various parts OF
the city ana surrounding country for
the purpose of ascertaining the ac-
tual conditions and ordering the Of
Tending parties to clean up.
They first went to the slaughter
houses, one of which is located near
the Wenatchee bridge and the other
about half a mile this side of the
bridge. Several complaints have
been made in regard to these places
but the officers discovered that things
were not as bad as they had contem-
plated. The owners of the houses
have been burning the refuse and
have not been dumping the offal into
the river as has been alleged by some.
Upon the suggestion Of the public
health officials, however, both butch
ers agreed to burn the refuse AMI to
bury the ashes in pits instead of leav-
ing the ashes on the surface of the
ground.
A ranch with score of dead hogs
living here and there was discovered
and the officers ordered the burying
of these and a general cleaning up.
The officers announced that they will
not permit any rancher or other party
to keep unsanitary or unclean places.
All refuse and offal that would fur
nish a breeding place for flies must
be cleaned up.
Visiting the milk depot they al
lege that they did not find things In
as high a state of sanitation as IT
should be. Rigid inspection OF the
milk will be undertaken in the flu
ture and the health officials will do
all in their power to maintain the
public health.

NO TYING TEAMS
ON STREET
RIGID RULE TO BE ENFORCED
REGARDING KEEPING OF
TEAMS OFF OF WENATCHEE
AVENUE.

The members of the city council
feel that the Daily World of yester-
day did not fully express the posi-
ton of the council regarding keeping
teams Off of Wenatchee avenue. 1t
has been decided that in order to
keep and maintain a good street that
there can be no tying of teams on
Wenatchee avenue. The rule is that
there will be no tying of teams at
all allowed on the avenue. Teams
with weights may stand on the ave-
nue. not to exceed Is minutes, and all
delivery wagons shall be loaded from
the rear of the stores instead OF the
front This is the absolute rule and
will be rigidly enforced.
There is no desire on the part Of
the city council to legislate against
the convenience of the rural residents
who do business in the city, but for
sanitary reasons it is desired to keep
the street just as clean as possible.
Hitching racks have been provided in
different places in the city and those
having business to transact in the
city can always find places in which
to tie their teams and when goods
have been purchased the team may
be driven to the stores. the goods
loaded on without being obliged to
tie in front of the stores. The anti
tying ordinance takes in the terri
tory between Fifth avenue and the
courthouse, and the police officers
have been instructed to keep the
streets clear in that territory.

To Cashmere in "a Minutes.

F. A. Patton, of Cashmere, who is

time he was in Wenatchee that with
himself in one auto and ]. c. Lilly

and considering the fact that part OF

What if old Chief Moses could
have rolled over in his grave, wiped
the volcanic ash out of his shriveled
and sunken eyes, and brushed the
sage-brush off his worm-eaten blank
ct and beheld the $50 braves break
out of the reservation!
What would have been the i'm
preston of the old chief could he
have seen the band of braves which
filed out of Wenatchee yesterday
morning and with many war-whooI
swing round the circle through his
old stamping ground in the coulee
which bears his name, and head for
the open country?
The first skirmish occurred at Ap-
pledale. Then old Chief King led
his tribe to Mansfield. They arrived
at noon, and led by the tom-tom men
they made their way to the center
of town to building containing a
bountiful supply of "muck-a-muck'
and an awful onslaught occurred. In
stead of conquering the town, the
Wenatchees were themselves con-
quered and for two hours held as
hostages.
Breaking away after some diff
Guilty they headed for Douglas, where
they met scouts from Waterville,
and borne on the wings of the
wind" they found themselves inside
the city limits and after considerable
maneuvering found themselves in an
ambuscaje and were again COM
pletely routed.
Completely captssed by the events
of the day and after a "hiyu shook
um'' time the Wenatchees returned
home at o'clock this morning.

WIRELESS LADY IN
THE CITY
WIRELESS LADIES VERY SCARCE
ONLY TWO ON WESTERN
COAST-THINKS WENATCHEE
IDEAL PLACE.

Miss A. M. Lindsay is the wireless
lady. Not that the usual lady has
wires, but that is Miss Lindsay's
title. She is on the Jack Binns job
at the local station Of the Pacific
States Wireless Telegraph company.
Operator Selman, who was here
for several months, petitioned for a
raise, on the grounds that Wenatchee
was not sufficiently exciting to keep
him here without additional remun-
Grafton. Failing to get the raise he
locked the door and set forth in
quest of the excitement that his
youthful blood was craving for. At
ter that the place was still, the tow
ering 'aerial" mute, and peace was
in the air.
Lady on the Job.
Then there came a lady on the job.
and not an enterprising reporter in
Wenatchee knew the news till two
weeks afterward. Two Thursdays
passed and still the Daily World had
not been scooped. Finally the World
man smelled a rat and went in search
of Selman. He found lady.
Likes Wenatchee.
Miss Lindsay has the unique dis
tinction of being one of the very few
women operators in the world. There
is only one other on the Pacific coast.
Unlike her predecessor, she thinks
that Wenatchee is all right and looks
forward to a pleasant summer here.
She was formerly the wireless oper-
ator at a big Tacoma hotel, and nat
urally feels the difference.

If ever the Wenatchee CONNER
cial club has had great big time In
its whole history, it was yesterday
from O'Clock in the morning until
2 o'clock this morning, when $50
members of that body made a trip
over the entire length of the new
Mansfield branch and met the peo-
pie on the road.
The first surprise of the trip oc-
Cured at Rock Island, where Cap.
Usher led the delegation from the
point where the train stopped to an
eminence overlooking the little vale
which the Ohio colony has transform
ed into a veritable agrden. The evil
dences of thrift and prosperity there
was a marvel to the delegation. n
delegation of ladies me. the visitors,
presented each one with a bouquet,
following which a photograph of the
visitors and their entertainers was
taken. In the group was Helen Lee
Doty, the only baby in the colony.
Following a selection by the band,
the lusty sons of the Ohio colony res
pended with the yell:
What can we do; what can We do?
Listen to us; listen to us and we'll
tell you;
Listen to me, listen to me,
Lightweight blossoms on a one year
tree"
The stop at Rock Island was twice
as long as provided for in the sched-
ule, and after Agent Piper had round
ed up all stragglers the train moved
on to Applicable, where the next. stop
was made Here the delegation was
again agreeably surprised at the
warmth of it's reception, and the evil
dences of rapid development going
on at this point. A wagon decorated
with festoons of flowers and provided
with bountiful supply of apple cider,
big red apples and ice cream was a
pleasing sight to the thirsty delega-
ton, and the way it went for the APP
pie cider and other delectables wasn't
slow. When DR.. Stevenson espied the
cider barrel it took four men to hold
him back from trampling the crow !
to get to it. Besides the ladies who
served the visitors, Miss Wray was
present with her twelve school chill
dren, who greeted the delegation with
an Applicable song prepared for the
occasion.
At this point the first address on
the trip was made by W. A. Thomp-
son. After thanking the people Of
Applicable for their generous recep-
ton and bearing the greetings of the
Wenatchee schools to the school chill
dren, he predicted the time will soon
come when the coulee will be one
vast apple orchard from Jamison lake
to the Columbia river.
1t was rumored that D. M. Russell
was very active in planning this hos
pitable reception and treat, but he
had to rely on the ladies for perfect
ing the details.

RODDER TORTURES
MAN TO GET GEM
HighWayman LaCerateS VIC
TINS Finger When Ring
win Not Come Off.

Twisting the diamond out of a heavy
gold ring on his victims finger with a
pair of pliers and frightfully decorating
the hand, lone highwayman held up
L. H. Markham, one OF the state man
ayers of the Ellsworth company, at
Second East and Second South streets,
shortly after 8 o'clock last night. In
addition to the diamond, which is
valued at $l5, the highwayman secured
$40
Mr.. Markham lives at 800 East Third
South street. He had been at his office,
424 Felt building, and was on his way
home. As he approached the board
fence that extends out into the street
where the building is being erected at
Second South and Second East streets,
he saw a man in a dark corner sneak
toward him. Markham became suspi-
ciOus and started to walk out into the
street, when the highwaymsn suddenly
leaped forward and ordered him to
throw up his hands.
THE holdup had an automatic re-
Volver," said Markham, as he described
his experience to Lieutenant r. L.
Shannon last night, and it reminded
me of the fate of George W. Fassell,
the grocer. With the gun held tight
against my stomach, the holdup
searched my pockets, and at first
seemed dissatisfied with not finding
more than $40. Then he began to look
for stickpins and rings. For numer-
Gus reasons 1 have always treasured
the diamond, and tried to hide it from
him, but the highwayman finally found
it.
1T comes off with considerable diff
fculty, and l always have to use pa
thence in getting it to slip over the
joint on my finger. The highwayman
could not remove 1t, so he seized the
finger in the hand in which he held
the revolver, and drew a pair of heavy
pliers from a back pocket. He applied
them and completely cut the diamond
from the ring, twisting the heavy gold
band with little regard for my finger"
