GREAT NORTHERN WILL
BUILD ACROSS MOUNTAINS
RumOred That Railroad will Extend Co.
Iumbia River Branch From PaterOs
to Bellingham

That the Great Northern railroad
company will extend their line from
Pateros across the mountains to Bel
lingham is the report given out by
railroad officials this week. The road
will go up the Methow valley. Work
on the line is expected to begin at an
early date. 1t is believed that the in
tention Of the Great Northern is to get
in ahead of the Milwaukee road which
is going into that section. Several
surveys for routes across the noun
tains have been made by the COM
pany's engineers, and Rainy pass will
likely be the route followed as it has
been declared the most feasible on ac-
count of having a lower altitude than
any other pass in that section.

Prince was selected as one OF the
first 10 be revived. The offering Of
comic opera has come to be looked
upon. especially in the east, as the
big social event OF the season, and
the revival of Woodward & Moseley's S
Beggar Prince is meeting with the
public approval of to-day as it did in
former years. The greatest care is be-
ing taken in the presentation OF
this comic opera and the cast was
selected, not only for their reputation
as singers, but their ability to play the
plays. Mr.. Woodward and Mr..
Mosely have spent life time on the
operatic stage, having played the
leading roles in all Of the best known
operas. Among all Of these they have
selected the Beggar Prince as their
special offering for the present season,
and the patrons Of the Scenic Theater
may prepare for an evening of unalloyed
enjoyment on Nov. Doth.

Would Defraud Commercial Club

Three or four weeks ago, after the
Wenatchee commercial club had failed
to secure favorable action from the
Milwaukee Railway company towards
building a line between that city and
Beverly letter was received by the
secretary Of the club from Bryne,
saying, II the railroad company
will not entertain the project it is
possible that l may be able in
very short to interest large syndi-
cate of London fnanciers whom 7
represent on this coast" The Wenat-
chez boosters were interested and at
once got into communication with the
promoter, and everything went nicely
until, Bryne wrote over wanting the
club to put up $500 for an engineers
expense to survey the route. he.
Bryne paying half of the expense.
Several OF the members became sus-
picious at this, and now they know it
was all bunko game as Bryne was
arrested in Seattle last week on sim
liar case and will have to face the
charge of obtaining money under false
pretenses.

$2S,OOO,0OO ON DEPOSIT
IN POSTAL SAVING BANKS
500, 100000 in Deposits Needed to
Make the System Pay

The postal savings system Of the
government is not paying expenses.
After something more than year oil
operation the venture gives indication
Of needing a federal appropriation to
make it come out even. It's hope oi
independence lies in the future. The
odore L. Weed, director of the postal
saving system, thinks the system will
be seli-supporting when the deposits
aggregate $10o,o0o,oo0. They now
aggregate close to $4,000, 900.
One OF the important questions
about the Inauguration Of any new gov
eminent service, especially one which
is more or less paternalistic in nature,
is whether it is likely to become a bur-
den upon the treasury. This question
is important in the case of the post
Office department, which has within
two years established the postal banks,
and is about to put into operation the
pa.cels post.
The attempt OF the officials, like
Mr.. Weed, has been to establish pos
tai savings system which may be con-
Quoted with reasonable economy. 1t
is claimed, for instance, that the Amer
ican system has been greatly simpli-
fed by the elimination Of pass books.
These books are commonly used by
banks and by postal savings systems in
other countries. In their place Post
master General Hitchcock has substi-
tuted certificates Of deposit, which are
said to be handled in much less time
and to have simplifed the accounting.
The systsm has been inaugurated
without the employment Of additional
help outside OF Washington In all
postoffices throughout the country the
work is done by clerks who also do
other things. Additional clerks en-
ployed specifically for the postal saw
ings system are found in Washington
only. The number is stated by Mr..
Weed to be 100. Mr.. Weed recently
talked with the official having charge
Of the postal savings system in Japan
and learned that in that country 1000
clerks are employed in the central Of
fee. The Japanese deposits aggre-
gate 100000, 900 and the number ol
depositors is somewhat larger than in
the United States. Relatively. how
ever, Mr.. Weed considers that the
American system is being operated
with the greater degree Of economy in
iahor

STATE BOOSTING PLAN
IS BEING FORMULATED
Manufacturers Plan an Extensive Cam
paign of Advertising All Products
in the State

A statewide advertising campaign Of
Washington products by the manufac-
turers, each boosting the products Of
the other fellow, where such boosting
does not interfere with his own busi-
ness, is being considered by the man
ufacturers of the state, according to
G. A. Raymer, Of Spokane, secretary
Of the Buying-at-home league, yester-
day. Mr.. Raymer has just returned
from a trip to the Sound cities and re-
ports the manufacturers throughout
the state strongly favorable to some
sort OF cooperative advertising that
would help all, and especially the i'm
portant industries in the smaller cen
tiers, where there are no leagues or as
sociations to do publicity work.
Mr.. Raymer said: The manufac-
turers on the coast took kindly to the
suggestion of the Spokane producers
that some sort Of helping hand propo-
sition would be Of great benefit. 1t
will be some time before any sort Of
statewide organization of this kind can
be perfected, but the scheme will
doubtless work without formal organi-
zation.
There are many industries on the
coast that we do not have on the east
side of the mountain, and many in this
section that they do not have on the
coast. In such cases the idea is to
have each boost the products Of the
other and SO advance the industrial
standing OF the state. Then again
there are many industries Of great i'm
portance scattered throughout the state
that are the only ones of their kind in
the state. Such industries could be
encouraged and boosted by all the
manufacturers organizations Of the
state under the one dominant idea that
what helps one helps all. +"

Saw Mil Will be Located East of Town
and Have Capacity of $4,000 feet
f.S.ACOBSN PRESIDENT AND MANAGER
New Company viii be Capitalized at
$4,000 and Employ From
Twenty to Forty Men

The Leavenworth Lumber Co.. is
the name of new corporation which
filed articles OF incorporation this week,
with a capitalization of $4,000. The
officers and stockholders are all local
capitalists; two of whom at least are
thoroly familiar with the lumber and
box business. F. S. Jacobsen, who has
been local manager for the Lamb Davis
Lumber Co. for several years, is presi-
dent and general manager. N. Coleman,
who has had charge of the saw fling
department Of the Id. Co for num-
Der of years is vice president, and W..
E. Moore, until recently member of
the firm OF Burce & Moore, is secretary
and treasurer.
Making boxes, shocks and factory
lumber will be the line OF the new
company. The factory will be located
at the east end of the railroad yards, at
the corner of Front and Fourteenth
streets, where shipping facilities will be
convenient on account of the nearness
OF the railroad tracks. Mrs. Clark's
place and several lots in the same
vicinity owned by Mr.. Hale have been
acquired. Il is the intention OF the
company to commence work at once
on the buildings. From twenty to
forty men will be employed, which
number may be increased with the
development of the business. The
company has already arranged for a
considerable quantity OF stumpage and
will put in a saw mill on the south side
of the river. 1t is expected to have
the plant ready for operation with the
opening of spring.

Predict Open Winter at WenatChee

There is comparatively high water in
the Columbia now. The gage at
Wenatchee Wednesday morning regis
tered seven feet and eight inches.
This is four feet higher than at this
time a year ago and makes navigation
of the Columbia fairly easy. Many Of
the old river men are predicting a very
open winter. The indications this year
are much the same as IS years ago.
At that time there was no ice whatever
in the Columbia or in Lake Chelsn.
