their backs to the bottles and the
driver will wind his way in and out
among the bottles to the finish line
in a backward Objectionable opera
tor making the best time and knock
ing down the fewest number of bot
ties will be declared winner of this
event.
A general average will be taken
of results and the driver or opera
tor scoring the maximum number OF
points in the events will be declared
the winner. First, second and third
prizes of substantial value will be
awarded by the merchants of Wen
atchee avenue.
This event will be of interest to
the auto owner and prospective own
ers of cars, insofar as it will show
to the spectators clearly as to the
flexibility and control of the various
makes of the gasoline wagon. For
instance, in the balancing event, the
Franklin and the White car will
fight it out in all probability, owing
first to the light weight of the
Franklin car and of the wonderful
slow control of the White Steamer.
In he candy grabbing event the
little Brush and the Hupmobile will
have a battle royal, owing to the
fact that the pedestal will be prac-
tically on a line with the driver and
1t should be very easy matter for
the operator to reach over and take
from the box a single piece of candy
with decided ease.
The Winton Six should easily win
the stopping and starting event
the event in which the passengers
of the car are to dismount, pick up
the potatoes and start the car. In
this event it will be unnecessary for
the operator to wind up his car. If
theory be correct he will start his
motor from the seat Of course,
cars having good compression will
shine in this event as we'll because
they will start their car from the
start and his failure to do so will
count against him in time of wind
ing up.

Will Close the Fourth.
,ditOr of the World

Editor of the World:
You can state for me, in regard to
the Fourth of July celebration, the
following:
TIE door Of my music store shall
be closed on the Fourth of July be-
cause the valves of my heart must
be open 10 emit the gratitude that
oTerpOWers me when acknowledging
the superiority of Washington and
his heroes during the stormy days of
1116. If the commercial dollar is
greater than the sword of the patriot
and if we, in 1910, forget the hard
ships of the heroes of 1875, then let
us pray to the golden calf and let US
be the mere toys of commercfalism
by desecrating the sacred Fourth of
July and doing business when we
should prepare for patriotic speeches,
songs and high minded actions |
am with the crowd on the Fourth of
July, if the crowd is patriotic, but
if the crowd is for Doodle and not
for patriotism on this day, | am not
with the crowd.
If our business men count only
their dollars and forget Bunker Hill,
Valley Forge and the Declaration of
independence, then our republic is in
danger, for such business men would
be only for the dollar, and not for
the high aspirations of freemen."
| want it to be distinctly known
that l, as one, will close my store on
the Fourth of July, because I think
that the republic of America is far
greater than fiddle strings, records,
comets, pianos; than the spirit that
leads to golden gain and commercial
degradation.
Hoping that this declaration may
strike the proper keynote, l am
Very truly,
LOUIS MICHEL.

MAKES NEAT ARREST
Deputy Sheriff and Famous Detective
Do Good Work.

In the absence of his chief, ]. E.
Ferguson, Deputy Sheriff Kenyon
did a classy little job at the Elman
hotel last night.
Warned that certain persons would
leave the hotel with plumber, Mr.,
Kenyon told the story to Joel S.
Hineman, one of the detectives who
figured in the great Sutherland case
Mr.. Hineman laid out a plan of
campaign and when the thief emer-
ged from the rear door of the Elman
about Z o'clock last night, the two
officers of the law were quietly
standing off little way watching
the thief load the plumber into a
buggy.
A comely girl was in the buggy
helping in the loot. She had been
employed at the Elman, and the
man, her husband, was a flunky
there.
They were caught going away
with the goods, but the case will not
be brought to trial for some time as
the wife is in a delicate condition
and broke down after the arrest. 1t
is though that she is guiltless, and
that the story has the elements of
the old-time one about a bad man
and a girl who loves him. The
couple are married, although the girl
is under age.
The plumber did not amount to
much, only hotel linen and some sill

of Kirby, who happened at the time
to be passing the warehouse.

but both, it is believed, will recover.
A special train was made up by

house, was put out of commission
and coal oil lamps had to be used
to furnish sufficient light for the sur

Several have simply collapsed from
viewing the terrible catastrophe and
had to take to their beds.
1t was not known by the people
of the city that powder was stored
in the warehouse, as the Graves

magazine about two miles out of
town, and when the report came IL
was not clearly realized what had
happened.
Fire Department Responds.
1t was soon known, and every
man, woman and child went to the
assistance of the wounded and dying,
while the fire department was soon
on hand with the hose cart and
sprayed the debris with water until
there was no danger of a fire.
Albert Taylor was found badly in
jured and seems to have his back
broken, or his chest caved in.
All the victims were pitiful sights.

READY FOR INDEPENDENCE DAY

Wenatchee will royalty entertain
her visitors during the Fourth of
July festivities. The heads of COM
mittees have been painstaking in
their efforts to secure the best at
fractions and to provide the best
entertainment possible.
The growth of the city in recent
years has made it possible to take
care of larger gatherings than for
merly. Hotel and rooming house
accommodations are now in advance
of most cities of this size
Following the lead of eastern cit
les for a sane celebration Of indie
pendence, more emphasis will be
placed on sports and fun producing
effects than on noise and in this way
it is hoped to prevent accidents
which sometimes mar the festivities
of the Fourth of July.

diuonal fire protection to public property

Officials Of the water company would not
make any statement in regard to this

that the company will object to the in
stallation of this hydant on the ground
that it IS contrary to the spirit

a substantial reduction on the insurance
rate at the town hall building providing
that standpipe would be installed on the
