suggest that the civic bodies be requested
90 appoint a committee on nominations
and submit the same to your honorable
body. That If such committee, after can
vassing the ground can unite upon three
gentlemen strong enough for the purpose
in the Judgment of this committee your
board ought to ratify such appointments.
In such manner was the board or pun
lie works in Los Angeles, within recent
years. eliminated from political patron
age. and we believe the taxpayers of the
county are entitled to the same considera-
tion from your hands
CRITICISM NOT WE'LL FOUNDED
The findings Of the engineers of the COM
mittee tend to show that the direct crit
icisms of the advisory committee on the
highway commission in the Prospect ave
nue., El Monte road and Whittier road are
not well founded, and still further demon
strate the heated frame of mind of the
advisory committee.
We approve the recommendations of the
engineer members and recommend their
adoption by your board in the interest OF
sound business methods in the conduct or
the good roads work of Los Angeles
county.
We urge that the solution Of these prob
lens in Los Angeles county will have an
impetus upon the good roads movement
in the adjoining counties and that with
out this settlement of the present contro-
versy the spirit of the good roads move
ment will languish even in this county.
The committee unites in hoping that the
recommendations of this committee will be
accepted in the spirit in which they are
offered, free from personal bias or political
motive or any other purpose than an ar
dent desire to see long and vexatious
controversy ended definitely, and that the
work of the good roads movement may
be prosecuted with the least possible fr.c-
tion and the utmost dispatch.

FORCED To TAKE
BIC PROFIT
Or. Miller, Compelled to
Buy Ranch for $4,000
Sold for $1,000

Jacob Earhart, of Pennsylvania
% years of age, has purchased six
acres located on Sunnyslope for SILL
O00. DR.. l.. +. Miller was compelled
to buy the property year ago in
order to protect the title of his ranch
across the road which was covered
by the same mortgage. He bought
under price Tor this reason, but beg
} ged the other party to pay off the
mortgage instead of forcing him to
do SO.
Despite the fact that the doctor
has made "A profit of $4,700, the buy
er considers that he has the best of
the bargain All the neighbors say
that Sill goo is at least $4,000 less
than the orchard is worth. DR.. Mil
Ierh imself believes he could have
sold for SIS, 200 had he waited un-
til spring, but he was anxious to
clean up his holdings at this time.
He will leave Tuesday for California
to spend the winter at Modesto with
his daughter, Mrs. Susie Ice.
There are 800 trees on the prop
erty five years old The balance is
set to one-year-old Winesa2, Spitz
and Delicious. A good house and
some furniture went with the pur-
chase, also a small stable.

MADE A $4,000 LOAN
j. T. McVay of Northern Lie. Seat
tie, Placed Big Loan Here

j. T. McVay, cashier of the Met
ropolitan National bank of Seattle,
left for his home this noon, after
spending a day here. He is men,
Der, of the investment committee of
the Northern Life Insurance Co. To-
Gated in the same city. The visit
here was to investigate the advis-
ability of putting more of the insur-
ance company's money into loans on
Wenatchee property. They already
hold a mortgage of $4,000 on a
prominent corner on Wenatchee ave-
nue.. AS result of Mr.. McVay's
present trip negotiations were al
most completed for duplicating this
lean on another property in the city.
Mr.. McVay was immensely pleased
with the city and valley. He talked
with the bankers of Wenatchee and
stated that he knew of no better
place for safe investments than
right here. The policy of the North
ern Life is TO keep its funds invested
within the state SO far as possible,
and loans on Wenatchee property
will probably continue to be made
in excess of the receipts of premiums
received from local policy holders.

Wby Aberdeen Refused.

Aberdeen, Wash. Dec. 10.-While
it must be admitted that more or
less disappointment is manifested be-
cause Of the refusal Of Aberdeen to
play the crack Oak Park team from
Chicago while on its tour of the
West, a closer investigation into the
unfavorable present conditions and
the difficulty which would necessar-
fly attend contest of this kind,
makes it evident that a game of this
kind would be next to impossible.
Il know it is a Disappointment,
said Coach Meyer today. but we
were simply forced TO refuse to meet
the Chicago team. Weather con1i-
tions have been exceedingly unfavor-
able for our team to practice since
the last game. and there were only
two or three days in which we could
get out and drill. and it would be
impossible to get back in coed shape
even had the boys determined to be
in best condition for the game.
During the past three or four
DAYS | have received several tele-
grams from J. NJ. Patterson, of Chi
cago. urging me to accept the chal-
lenge. 1t seems to me that the whole
thing savors too much of money, and
candijly | believe this is one of the
greatest objections to. the game. We
are through with football for the
year."

GIVE ASSESSOR ROOM
Osborn Will Have an Additional
Room at the County Court
House.

Some alterations have been going
on at the county courthouse for the
last week which will soon give the
county assessors Office an additional
room. The large room formerly used
for a Jail has been divided and a door
made from the regular assessors of
fee entering into this new room
Thus the office space will be more
than doubled.
This is an improvement much
needed by Assessor Osborn. His
helpers have been compelled to move
about from one to another of the
other offices in the building in order
to do their work. Most of the time
two adding machines are in use by
the force and it is almost impossible
to use more than one in a room
Having two rooms will now enable
the force to do all their work in their
own Offices.

DUMAS WINS HIS SUIT
$50 After Losing Claim for
$1,000 for Delay.

Walla Walla. Wash, Dec. 10:-J.
L. Dumas of this city, former owner
of the Pomona apple orchard, was
met this morning by an old acquaint-
ance who has called him Jim" for
20 years. and the acquaintance this
time lifted his hat. bowed, and called
him Mr.. Dumas"
The man whose name Mr.. Dumas
will not tell. said three years ago
that if ever Mr.. Dumas got cent
from the o. r. & ~ railroad for the
railways failure to have cars enough
on hand to handle his apple crop he
would lift his hat and be ceremoni-
Gus. This morning Mr.. Dumas got
a check for $3.50 and costs from
the O. r. & N. with interest at 6 per
cent from June, 1909.
Mr.. Dumas sued for $11 1000, the
difference, he claimed. between the
price he could have sold his apples
for had they been delivered when
contracted, and the price of the va
riety of apples when they actually
reached their market some time
later.
The case, as establishing the res
possibility of the railroad in such
situation, is considered of extreme
Importance. The case was carried
to the United States court of appeals
at San Francisco, and that court con-
firmed the judgment in Mr.. Dumas
favor found by the lower court.

ONLY ONE HATCHERY
Eastern Washington Game Assccia-
ticn Recommends Change
in Law.

The members of the legislature
from Spokane county will ask the
next legislature to abolish al the
fish hatcheries in the state east of
the mountains except one in Spo-
kane county. and increase the Ca
pacity OF the little Spokane hatchery
to 500,0O0,000 fry year.
There are four hatcheries on this
side, and it is claimed by the men,
bers of the Fish Protective associa-
ton that the cost of maintaining tie
four would be sufficient to enlarge
the Spokane county hatchery with
out any additional expense to the
state.
Senator Myers, of Davenport. Will
have charge of the bill and ask the
aid of all the Spokane county mem
bers. Mayor Peters, of Ritzvilla
stated that he will do everything
possible for the passage of the bill
1t was also decided at the meet
ing to ask the lawmakers to compel
every hunter of big game in the
state to wear a bright red coat while
hunting. 1t is thought that in this
way the danger to hunters will be
greatly reduced
A bill will also be introduced that
will make one license do for the
fishermen and hunters east of the
mountains. It is claimed tibet in
this way more money will be secured
for the state, as a number of fisher
men do not like the idea of taking
out a license in every county and,
consequently, do not fish at all.

C|hCHED GAME
WITH OAK
PARK
Wenatchee Will Play in Sc
attic Xmas Holiday if
Team Comes West.

The Wenatchee high school foot
ball team will play against the Oak
Park team of Chicago on the Univer-
sity grounds at Seattle, Christmas
holiday, December 26th. Only one
points remains to be settled before
this engagement is fixed. Denver
must sign it's agreement first.
Coach Sievers last night received
a telegram from the Oak Park man
ager stating that every other team
In the west had thrown him down
with the exception of Wenatchee.
Denver has agreed to play, but has
not yet signed up. AS soon as this
is fixed, papers will be sent to We
natchee for signature. Coach Slew
ers is assured that if the Oak Park
team makes the trip west, Wenatchee
will get a game and it must be play
ell no other time than on December
26, in Seattle.
The fact that Denver has been
much interested in this proposed
game and that arrangements have
been partially made for it. leaves
little doubt that the contract will be
signed which will cinch game for
Wenatchee.
Efforts have already been made
to induce the Seattle newspapers to
give as much space as possible to
the Christmas game. Considerable
expense will be involved in cOnnec-
ton with it and a record attendance
will he necessary in order to defray
expenses.
An excursion train from Wenat-
chez giving low rate for the round
trim will take several hundred root
ers to Seattle for the game.

Hostility Exists.
In vain do statesmen and .en1ight-

the necessity and demonstrate the
reality of mutual friendship. None

with growing iteration, come from
