~. Browne at National Capital.

J.. ]. Browne, president of the Col
umbia Valley bank of this city, is In
Washington, D. c., AMI on yesterday
appeared before the senate public
lands committee in opposition to the
administration bill for the conserva-
ton of water power sites. Mr..
Browne represents a state conserva-
ton organization of the northwest
and he was a representative of this,
as we'll as of Spokane.
The Spokane committeeman argued
that the states alone owned the
streams. He said the government
owned only the land on which the
dams for the creation of power could
be built. He insisted that the west
had a right to work out its own rec
lamation problems. He said the peo-
pie of his state We're better able to
tell what was needed in the state OF
Washington than were the people OF
the east.

Socialists to Open Headquarters.

Last night that band of fearless
and fearful socialists met again in a
cabin two or three blocks south of
the court house. Revealing in the
fact that socialism since it's scienti-
fic beginnings in the lact century
has made moro rapid growth than
primitive Christianity did in the first
century, this band proposes to move
their meeting place to the center of
the city and there to open up meet
ing place and a reading room for all
corners. While they declare that
there are rs or so socialists in the
city, they allege that there are more
socialists in the world than there are
republicans in the United States.
They allege also that the socialist
party is the largest political party in
Germany, that it has oven 3,250,000
voters. If they succeed in getting a
suitable place in the center of town
they expect to keep their room open
every night instead of once a week
as their custom is at the present
time.

DEVOTED CRICKET CALLS HELP

unusual hour, but also more pro-
nounced than ever before, Mr.. Milot
decided that something must be
wrong. He did not get up at first,
but waited and wondered what 1t
could be that was distressing Bill
ken so very much. Finally he got
up and followed in the direction OF
the chirping. Down in the furnace
room there was cause enough. A
large pile of the Daily World had
caught fire and in a little while more
the building would have been burned
to the ground.
Mr.. Milot was able to put the fire
out alone and Billiken evidently went
back to bed, exhausted by his frantic
attempts at saving the nursery.
So far Billiken is still too shy to
come out but his cheerful chirp is
heard around the greenhouse every
day, assuring his friend that he is
always on the job ready any moment
to chirp the fire call.

WANTS WENATCHEE
BOOSTED
INDIANAPOLIS FRIEND OF WE
NATCHEE HEARS TOO MUCH OF
HOOD RIVER-WANTS WENAT-
CHEZ LITERATURE.

Murdoch Freaney, of Indianapolis,
writes to the Wenatchee Commercial
club that all he hears from the west
is about Hood River. Hood River
boosters are very active in his Sec
tion and as he happens to own land
close to Wenatchee he writes to the
commercial club to see If something
can't be done toward giving this Sec
ton an equal chance with the Hood
River country.
The Freaney ranch is about twelve
miles up the Columbia, near Orondo.
and he expects to be here about the
first of March. In the meantime he
offers to mail Wenatchee literature to
interested persons in the neighbor-
hood where he is staying now, pro-
vided that papers and prospectuses
are sent to him.

The above statement is for the dis
tricts of Chelan, Okanogan and Doug
las. OF these shipments Chelan coun-
ty furnished 898 cars; Douglas 35
and Okanogan Is, and in 1909 the
two outside counties furnished about
the same proportion. The statement
shows that the apple production for
the county fell but little short of that
of 1908. The other varieties of fruit,
however, suffered very severely. Two
years ago the county shipped 395
carloads OF peaches while last year
but two carloads were sent out. The
melons and vegetables were also very
light and but rs carloads were sent
out last year while APT were sent
out the year previous.
The apple prices, however. were
arranged considerably higher last
year than the year previous and as
a result the apple crop brought more
money last year than it did the yeax
of 1908.
In Chelan county, up to January
| | there remained In the Wenatchee
district Ga carloads of apples In cold
storage and 20 at Cashmere.
Another interesting fact Is shown
by the estimates of County Inspector
Darlington. Last year there were
planted in this district 1,152, 1885
trees. OF this number 6S5,281 were
planted in Chelan county; 329,935 in
Okanogan county and 137,142 in
Douglas county. Figuring 100 trees
to the acre this would plant 1880
acres to orchard.

Wireless Telephone Man Has Trouble

A. B. Ragsdale, of the Independent
Wireless Telephone company, who
has spent some time in this city on
various occasions in the interests of
his company, has had trouble in
Spokane with one Of his local agents.
Fred C. Malloy was in his employ
and Ragsdale complained to the Of
ficials that Malloy appropriated to
his own uses money received for 800
worth of stock he had sold to wo-
man. The wireless people also sub
mitted to the police a bill for 1882
they said was due them from NAL
10y. The case came up before Judge
Mann and after hearing some evil
dence in the case Deputy Prosecuting
Attorney Crow stated to the court
that he did not care to have the court
made a collection agency and the
charge against Malloy was thrown
out of court.

FEW PEOPLE HAVE HEARD THE
HISTORY CONNECTED WITH
BULLET IMPRINT IN DOOR OF
CITY CLERKS OFFICE.

During the session of the city coun-
Gil last night the attention of some
of the visitors present was called to
bullet mark in the panel of the in
ner door. Hundreds of people pass
through that door every day and yet
but few have ever noticed the i'm
print of the bullet or know the his
tory of the occurrence which led to
it. Seven years ago this winter Pat
Sherburne was city marshal, being
succeeded the first of the year by
Peter Wheeler, and Mr.. Sherburne
taking charge of the water system.
There was a man here by the name
of Campbell, who brought in the
buses now used by the various ho-
tells and attempted to make profit
able a bus system for this city. He
failed in this and then sought to be-
come head of the police department.
He told his friends Of his police ex-
perience in the east and how he had
captured all alone two Of the most
desperate criminals In the east. He
was not at all bashful in telling of
his own exploits.
One evening here Campbell became
engaged in an alteration with a
denizen Of the under world on Col
umbia street and was hit with a
sling shot filled with broken glass.
The mans face was badly cut and
one hand with which he tried to
ward OF the blow was badly LAGER

BULLET MARK STILL REMAINS

ated. He bled very profusely. He
thought to make this occurrence OF
service in making a reputation for
himself as criminal catcher. He
walked up from tho lower street to
the Columbia Valley Bank building,
entered the lobby, pulled off his hat
and shot hole through it, the bullet
entering the panel, and its mark can
be still seen on the door at this time.
After firing the bullet he rushed out
of the door, walked around the block
and then entered Jack Lillis' saloon,
where he told the people a remark
able story of his fight with a bank
rebber. The story was, that on pass
ing the bank he saw one of the GRIM
inals whom he had arrested before
in the east engaged in the work OF
trying to drill hole into the bank
vault. The criminal, on hearing
Campbell come into the lobby, turned
and fired point blank at him, the bull
let passing through his hat. The
man rushed out of the door and dis
appeared in the darkness toward the
railroad track, Campbell sending a
number of bullets after him. City
Marshal Sherburne had gone to bed,
but the night officer called him up
and both officials investigated Camp
bells report. They were soon con-
vinced that the whole affair wassa
hoax and the man was only seeking
to establish reputation which would
make him a successor to Mr. Sher-
burne. The people of the city the
next day were much excited over the
attempted bank robbery as told by
Campbell. but when the facts in the
case leaked out the people made 1t
SO hot for Campbell that he was
soon forced to leave the city.

pied the greater part of the council
meeting last week SO did the pro-
posed city improvement district last
night. Engineer Ward submitted a
plan for the district northwest from
Orondo avenue to the city limits.
This territory is also in the proposed
sewer district but the engineer plans
that the sewer work can be finished
up in about two months in that terri
tory and then it will be ready for
the Improvement of the streets. Boil
enbaugh addition on the north may
also come into an improvement dis
trict by itself The residents of that
section have expressed their desire
to have the streets fixed up and 1t is
possible that the council may set this
aside as a separate district, provid-
ing the citizens petition for the work.
The plan of improvement as sug-
gestei by Engineer Ward is mac
adamizing, grading, sidewalking and
curbing of the following streets:
Third Street South from King street
to Miller street; Second street from

F. street; Palouse street from A
street to the city limits on the west;

Street North from Chelan avenue to
D street; Poplar street from Chelan
avenue to D street; F street from

from First Street North to Third
Street South; D street from Poplar
avenue to Third Street South; c
street from Second Street North to
King street; B street from Second
Street North to King street; Penn
sylvania from Poplar to Second Street
North; Chelan avenue to the north
erly line of the Whitman school.
In this connection First Street
South, Second Street South, Third
Street South, Fourth Street South
are commonly known as Washington.
Oregon, Idaho and Alaska streets
respectively. This improvement COM
prises approximately 20 blocks. In
this improvement it is proposed to
secure property on Chelan avenue
from Second Street North to the
north line of the Whitman school, to
make the street 90 feet wide and to
this end a committee was appointed
. to confer with the property owners.
Hale's plat also came up for con-
sideration last night, but action was
deferred for one week to give Mr..
Hale an opportunity to secure a quit
claim deed for a part of the street
which is to be dedicated to the city.

1t is believed, was caused by a miner
lamp igniting the gas. in the unused
