Washington's First Governor

After installing brass plate in the
sidewalk on Main Street between 2nd
and 3rd streets, to mark the place
where the first legislature of Washington
Territory met, banquet was held at
the New England Hotel, at which the
address was delivered by Gov. M. E.
Hay. The ceremonies were under the
auspices of the state historical society
and it was just 50 years ago on
November 26, that Isaac I. Stevens,
the first governor OF the territory arrived
in Olympia. He applied at the back
door of the New England Hotel and
asked for something to eat and was
handed out some food, as he was not
recognized, the couriers having missed
him and the plans for the big banquet
in his honor having been upset.

Taft Faces Lincoln Philosophy

In front OF President Taft's seat at
the cabinet table in a frame of black
wood is one OF President Lincoln S
memorable sentiments. 1t reads: II
l were to try to read, much less
answer, all the attacks made on
me, this shop might as well be
closed for any other business. 1 do
the very best l know how-the very
best I can; and I mean to keep on
doing so until the end. If the end
brings me out all right, what is
said against me won't amount to
anything. If the end brings me out
wrong, the angels swearing l was
right would make no difference. :"
By many the sentiment expressed
is taken as that with which Mr..
Taft looks upon his own achieve
ments in the White House.

No fear of Over-PrOduCtiOn

F. A. Huntley of Tacoma, state
hor, ,icultural commissioner, sees no
great danger Of overproduction Of ap-
pies. He puts the 1912 crop in
Washington at 100000 boxes and
the eventual maximum in this state at
not to exceed 20,o00,00O boxes.
A recent census taken by Mr.. Hunt
ley's office found 10000, 900 apple
trees in this state and an orchard area
Of about 2Oo,000 acres.
For the first time," said Mr.. Hunt
ley, we are shipping apples to South
America. This years crop breaks all
records, and / do not expect as great
an output in this state again for sew
eral years. If we were to be restricted
to narrow markets there would be dan
ger of overproduction, but if we reach
out for new markets l think the future
crops will find buyers. In the mean
time it is we'll to make a start in the
manufacture OF y-products.

Senator Bristow OF Kansas on We'd
nesday introduced in the Senate resolu-

dicial decisions. The first resolu-
ton would permit the president TO sub
NIT to popular vote at congression-

tuition OF the United States, Congress
at the regular session held after such
decision, may submit the act to the
electors at the regular congressional

Company is Responsible for Treatment
of Passengers

That company doing business as a
common carrier is responsible for the
treatment of passengers by its employees
is the ruling made by the supreme
court in a recent case in which damag-
es were awarded to a passenger on
board boat belonging to the Alaska
Steamboat Company for injuries which
he received when he was attacked by
a waiter employed by the company.
The supreme court holds that the hir-
ing Of employees by the common carrier
insures the passengers respectful and
courteous treatment and that the COM
pany is liable for injuries or assaults
made upon passengers by its employees.

OFFICE OF STEEL PLANT
ENTERED BY BURGLARS
Hunted for Something They Did not
Find-Nothing of Value Taken

What is looked upon as a puzzling
burglarious entrance to the laboratory
of the steel plant was made last Thurs
day night. Entrance to the building
was gained by forcing a window to the
Office from which a door leads into the
laboratory. The next morning every
thing in the laboratory was found topsy
turvy. Every cabinet in the Office
and laboratory was ransacked and the
contents scattered on the floor. 1t was
evident that money or articles of value
was not the object Of the marauders
as number of things of considerable
value were not molested while many
small things, such as test tubes and
small instruments used in assaying and
making tests were either taken away
or broken. Mr.. Rothert says it looked
to him as if the parties were looking
for papers, minerals or something con-
nected with assaying. Among the
things taken was box of printed en-
velopes. Altogether the value Of the
things taken aud broken is under

Wenatchee Valley Apple Crop Worth
$2,5OO,O00

In spite OF the fact that this is the
worst year yet experienced in the ap-
pie market, growers are realizing from
10 to 20 per cent on valuations rang
ing from $4,000 to $4,000 an acre.
While many growers sold their apples
at less than a dollar a box it is the be-
lief of the conservative dealers thruout
the valley, that the remainder of the
crop will bring in returns better
than a dollar a box. The total ship
ment from the valley will be 1000 car
loads. Counting $50 boxes to the
car gives 2,520,000 boxes which it is
estimated will bring between two and
three million dollars.

A MODERN HOTEL
UNDER CONSIDERATION
The Chikamin Muy be Enlarged to
Three Story With Sixty Rooms

F. A. Losekamp, owner of the brick
building on the corner OF Front and
Ninth streets has under consideration a
plan to add another story to the build
ing. At present the ground floor Is
occupied by the Mutual Mercantile
Co. and the Tumwater Bank, the sec
ond floor being used as a rooming
house, at present under the manage
ment of D. S. More, who recently
came here from California, an exper-
fenced hotel man.
Mr.. Losekamp plans not only to
add another story but to remodel the
entire building, providing for lobby,
doing away with the stairway and put
in an automatic elevator. The third
floor would add about thirty rooms,
all OF which would be outside, with
plenty of light and air.

Post Office Abuses

Since the campaign is over the real
truth about the postoffice deficit is
gaining circulation. 1t is not at all
because of the loss sustained from
transmitting magazines as second-class
matter, but because of the abuse of
the ranking privilege on the part of
congressman and government officials
in sending campaign literature through
the mails. The only time in which
there has been a deficit in the postof-
fee department during president Taft's
term Of Office is the present year. Last
year there was a surplus of S17, ,000,-
900. 1t is significant that it cost the
government nearly S4,000,000 to
transmit the free campaign literature
during the six months prior to the fall
election. The present deficit is ST.
78l, 900.

placed in the care of DR.. Culp where
every aid was given. But the shock
and the loss of blood were too great
for the man to withstand and death
came the same day.
Hardrup was conscious almost to the
last. He moaned constantly, what
will my poor mother dor" He is the
only son of Mrs. Mary Hardrup of
Milltown, Wisconsin and was her sole
support.

and is Drowned

John Wall, logger who has been in
the employ of Adams & Costello, trip
ped on the Lamb-Davis Dam Wednes-
day evening as he was going home and
plunged to his death in the icy waters
below. Two other men whose names
we were unable to get who were with
Wall at the time say the accident oc-
CURED at about the middle OF the dam.
On account of the slippery condition of
the walk they were feeling their way
across the bridge holding to the rail-
ing. At one place a piece OF the rail-
ing had been broken off and it was here
that the unfortunate man suddenly
tripped over a board and before he
could regain his balance or his friends
assist him he rolled off into the water.

WENATCHEE PARK LAND
SELLING VERY RAPIDLY

Have Been Sold by the WenatChee
Park Land & Irrigation Co.

That the Chewawa river valley will
be the scene of much activity next
year is an assured fact. Over $780,
900 has been received by the Wenat-
chez Park Land & Irrigation Co. thru
the sale OF small tracts of land and it
is the general opinion that the owners
will start next year to improve their

feet OF water per second out OF the
Chewawa river but the company has
filings for $50 feet and will have ca
pacity for that amount after two or
three spring cleanings Of the ditch. 1t

SCIENTIST DISCOVERS CURE
FOR TUBERCULOSIS
Will Soon be in Use by Physicians all
Over the Civilized World

Complete and absolute for every vic
tim of tuberculosis unless he is in the
last stages of the white plague" is the
Christmas gift to the world announc-
ed Wednesday by DR.. Frederick
Franz Friedman, young German
physician, who claims to have 1000
ready to display to the scientists OF
the world.
By the simple arm injection of
a serum gained from the turtle, DR..
Friedman says he has Immediately
killed every tubercule in every sub
ject so far treated, and maintains
that every single case in which the
injection was made has resulted in
cure save only those whose vital
ity was so far gone as to leave phys
ical recovery an impossibility. The
cost Of treatment is said to be very
small.
Two weeks ago DR.. Friedman as
founded German savants by declar-
ing in a public conference that he
had been secretly treating tubercu-
losis for two years. Many of those
present admit that Friedman has
conquered the scourge, and several
German hospitals are already turn
ing over their cases to him.
Realizing the immensity OF the
news to the world at large, the News
paper Enterprise associations repre-
sentative in Berlin, W. G. Shepherd,
at once investigated.
Reporting, Shepherd, who is a
trained newspaper man well able to
detect frauds and quacks, goes fatty
on record as believing that DR.. Fried
mans discovery is the greatest boon
in medicine the world has known.
I saw and conversed with many
PATIENTS" says Shepherd. Il saw a
boy, entirely cured, whose leg had
rotted away almost to the hip. I saw
men who had hemorrahages, night
sweats, fever and had been in hos
pitals, who had been cured within a
few weeks and had returned to work
after one injection. I saw girl who
was born with tuberculosis and whose
hand had rotted away during Is years,
who was cured by one treatment in
four weeks. saw clean-healed scars
on hands, on arms and necks and bod
les Of children, where once had been
terrible and supposedly incurable tu-
berculosis sores. These patients and
many more told me OF their marvellous
stories. Anyone who has seen what l
have seen here must be convinced
that DR.. Friedman has given the world
the happiest Christmas-except one
that the world has ever known"

MUCH INTEREST TAKEN
IN CITY ELECTION
In the Vote on the Liquor Question the
Vets Won Over the Dys bv 112
Majority

To say that it rained on Tuesday
would be mild expression. 1t simply
poured. Notwithstanding this fact,
the supporters OF the two candidates
for the Mayoralty, stood guard in front
OF the polls almost the entire day and
it was very amusing at times to see
them sweep down on the unsuspecting
voter with instructions how to mark his
ballot.
]. F. Pratt, the candidate for mayor
against the present incumbent, F. E.
Car,quist, was busy the most OF the
day handing out stickers, his name not
being on the ballot, and for time
there were those who believed the
former marshal would be successful in
his political aspirations. But the final
returns at about ten thirty swept away
all doubts, Mr.. Carlquist having ma
iority Of II votes over his opponent.
In the other Offices there being no
contests the entire ticket was elected.
Following are those who will look
after the city's affairs for the next year.
Mayor, F. E. Carlquist; Clerk, Guy
Hamilton; Attorney, L. ]. Nelson;
Treasurer, John Koerner; Health Or
fcer, DR.. Judah; Councilmen, Chas.

Pratt 54 lOZ
Out of 500 registered voters 200 ex-
pressed themselves in the special cleo
ton on the liquor question, the vets
winning by 1877 to 80. Considerable
interest was taken in this election and
conveyances were kept busy the
greater portion Of the day carrying vo-
tiers to the polls with special instruc-
tions not to forget the liquor question.
The election was conducted by the
civic league with the intention Of get
ting the opinion of the people OF the
city as to whether they wanted a wet
or dry town. While all of the regis
tered voters did not avail themselves
of this opportunity, the big majority
secured by the vets goes to show that
it would be a hard matter to put this
city dry if legal vote was taken. OF
the 200 voters who expressed them
selves on the liquor question 80 were
women.
