Bad Check Artist.

Albert Brown, the young man who
last Friday issued three worthless
checks, stole an overcoat, watch and
S1.50 from his room mate, was cap
tured in Seattle Saturday morning as
he alighted from the train. Brown
who claims he was sent here by Spo-
kane employment Office had secured
work at the Lamb-Davis lumber mill.
Friday evening on returning from
work, he borrowed an overcoat from
his room mate-Dawson, on the pre-
tense that he was going down to mail
a letter. The same evening he passed
three worthless checks. one on Ed.
Tholin for $1,000, Roach Bros. fol-
$3.50 and Jensen & Son for $500.
On his return to the room finding
his partner asleep. he helped himself
to his watch and about $3.50 in mon
ey.
Mr.. Dawson did not discover his
loss until the following morning when
he Immediately notified Marshal Bohn-
sack. Believing that the young forgel
had gone to Seattle, the marshall wired
a description of the man to the police
Of that city telling them to be on the
lookout. Forty-fve minutes later Mr..
Bohnsack received word that a man
answering the description had been
arrested at the union station, the chiei
left the same day for Seattle and find
ing that he was the man wanted re-
turned with his prisoner Sunday after
noon. Brown was given a hearing

STREET PAVIhu
UNDER CONSIDERATION
Property Owners Meet Wednesday Een-
ing to Consider Matter

Paving the main business streets OF
the town has been up ior consideration
a number of times in the past two years
but no definite line of action has so far
been taken. The very bad condition
in which the streets have been for the
past few weeks has again forced the
matter on the attention Of property
owners. A meeting was held in the
Commercial Club rooms Wednesday
evening which a number of those who
are most deeply interested attended.
There was presen N. W. Ball, Of We
natchee, contractor, and E. ]. Bar
tells, representing the Denny-Renton
Clay Co., of Seattle, makers Of all kinds
of paving brick. Mr.. Bartells stated
that brick paving would cost not over
s2.10 per square yard, which would
cost approximately s138 for a thirty
foot lot. While the initial cost of brick
paving appeared to be rather higher
than some other kinds of paving yet it
seemed to be favored by majority Of
those who expressed themselves because
it has been tried out and gives the best
satisfaction. Asphalt and many other
kinds Of patented processes have prov
ed a failure and unsatisfactory, and cost
ly in the end. An effort will be made
to get the consent Of the property own
ers to paving three blocks on Front
street, one block each on Eighth and
Ninth and two blocks on Commercial
street. The matter will be brought be-
fore the council at the next meeting on
the proposition to create an improve
ment district and issue bonds under an
agreement to pay one-fifth or one
eighth of the cost every year. 1t is
believed that if the cost is divided into
five or eight annual payments it will be
so light that property owners will more
readily enter into an agreement to have
the paving done than if it is to be paid
in lump sum at one time. A petition
is being circulated this week to get an
expression from those interested which
will be read at the next meeting Of the
council and if favorable action will be
promptly taken by the council.

Railroad Rates Causing Trouble.

Being dissatisfied with the new dis
tributive rates, the cities Of Tacoma,
Kennewick and Pasco have begun
suit in the superior court of Thurston
county to have reviewed the order Of
the public service commission put
ting these rates into effect. Tacoma
finds no fault with the order Of the
commission but complains that the
railroads have misinterpreted it and
have made no effort to equalize the
rates out OF the various towns, while
the rate out Of Spokane is too low to
suit Kennewick and Pasco. Everett
has sent word to the commission that
it is we'll satisfied with the order and il
a fight is made against the new rates
that it wants to be represented at the
hearing. The hearing Of the petition
has been set for March 2o.

CLUB LUNCHEON
MONDAY EVENING
Members Talk on Future of City, Health
of Community and Our
Public Schools

To the number Of over fifty, inelud'
ing members and a few friends and
visitors, the Commercial Club luncheon
at the Overland cafe Monday evening
proved very interesting and it is hoped
will further stimulate interest in meet
ings of like kind in the future.
Forest Supervisor Sylvester presided
over the meeting with that grace and
facility for which he has become noted.
The first speaker to be called on was
Professor Moore, superintendent of the
public school. His talk was listened
to with interest and generously applaud
ed, as were also the remarks Of other
speakers. Mr.. Jacobsen's talk on the
effect OF the opening of the Panama
Canal on the lumber industry consist
ed largely of figures showing the
amount of lumber !that would be re-
quired for the one item of boxes to
ship Wenatchee valley fruits to market
in the next few years. In his talk on
development Dr.. McKeown called at
tention to the rapid strides which this
town has made since he arrived here
three years ago and predicted even
greater and more rapid development oi
our resources in the future.
VIM. McIntosh's remarks provoked
considerable mirth when he related
some of his Alaska experience. His
recital of life in the frozen north con-
tanned much genuine humor. He
wound up with an eloquent tribute to
the country and predicted a glorious
future for the agricultural possibilities
which abound in the great river valley
of Alaska. Dr.. Judah was given the
subject Of "Leavenworth as a Health
Resort" He called attention to the
wonderful results following the sanitary
methods adopted by the government II
Cuba and the Isthmus of Panama, two
of the worst fever ridden sections known
which were made as healthy as any por'
ton of the United States by the rigid
measures adopted by the government
He called attention to the impor-
tance of upholding and assisting the
health authorities in enforcing sanitary
regulations and asserted if this was
done there would be little cause fol
complaint as the natural conditions II
this vicinity offered few obstacles to
healthful surroundings.
The meeting was one OF the most
interesting yet held and indicated In
creased interest in club work. The
next luncheon will be held in April, oi
which announcement will be made. II
is expected that visitors from Wenat'
chez will be here to help US enthuse'

Mr. J. Hale returned to Leavenworth

ing OF the fruit industry he remarked
