TRAINS OF WV. N. M.
FIRST OF THIS WEEK
Between Four and Six Million Feet Of
Logs to Come in Over Railroad

Operations on the Wenatchee Valley
Northern began rather late this season,
which may be accounted for by reason
Of the fact that when the big mill be-
gan operations this spring nearly thirty
million feet Of logs were in the pond
to begin with and it was simply not
necessary to bring logs down over the
railroad. Now, however, the river drive
is over and the demand for lumber to
make boxes is on the increase, the logs
lying on the right-oi-way up in the
hills are to be brouget in and dumped
in the mill pond.

MURDEROUS ASSAULT
IS MADE ON OLD MAN
Only the Timely Arrival of Friends No
Doubt Prevented Murder-Sheriff
BOhnsaCk Makes Quick Arrest

1T serves me right for getting drunk
and I have no desire to see the boy
punished any further" was the ex-
preston OF Pat Glynn at the trial of his
assailant, Joe Quaife, at the City Hall
Monday afternoon. Prosecutor Soren-
son was not inclined to take Glynn
very seriously, however, and on his ad-
vice Judge Rice gave Quaife the maxi
mum penalty for assault in the third
degree Of 500 and costs and 80 days
in Jail. 1t is not likely that the fine
money will be paid and in that event
the Jail sentence will be heightened
into about IS days.
Quaife was arrested last Friday after
noon at Peshastin by Deputy Sheriff
Bohnsack, for making a murderous as
sault on Glynn near the rear of the
Lobby saloon. Both men, it appeared
from the testimony given at the trial,
had been drinking alcohol and other
intoxicants all day, and as the result Of
drunken quarrel had gone out into
the alley to settle their differences.
Quaife, while the younger of the two
men, being nothing more than a boy,
tho much larger in stature, proved to
be a coward and seizing board hit his
companion over the head while he was
not looking. Glynn is about so years
Of age. The first blow, according to
eye witnesses, knocked him to the
ground and the plank was broken into
half a dozen pieces. This did not sat-
isfy Quaife, however, for he continued
to beat his enemy with club until he
was knocked into insensibility. To
finish up the job the witnesses testify
that he took a few more pokes at him
with his fist before taking his depart
ure. Only the timely arrival Of friends
no doubt saved Glynn's life.
DR.. Judah was summoned and for a
while it was thought that the man
would die as his skull was fractured and
his head badly pounded. The fact
that he was full Of booze no doubt
saved him and the next day he was
out Of bed.
Quaife evidently realized soon after
the assault that he was guilty of a
serious crime and could not be found.
Deputy Sheriff Bohnsack surmised that
he would 60 to Peshastin where he had
friends, and his guess proved to be
correct. When he arrived at the Pc
shastin Hotel the same day he was
told that they had seen nothing Of the
man they were looking for, but Bohn-
sack said he had search warrant and
was going thru the house. In one Of
the rooms, under the bed with blan-
ket up in front Of him, the sheriff found
Ouaife. Resistance would have been
foolish as the officer was ready for
business and the man came to this city
without any further trouble. The pris-
oner is known to the officers as a bad
actor and his sentence was none too
light.

LOG DRIVE COMPLETED
LAST SATURDAY
About 100000 Feet in the Drive
One of the Most Successful
Ever Made

]. T. Mcdonald. superintendent oI
the Wenatchee Valley Northern rail
way, had charge of the annual log drive
for the Lamb-Davis Lumber Co. this
year. He said this years was one o.
the largest and most successful drive:
that has ever been made for the com
pany, but what is of still more impor'
tance it was made at less cost thar
heretofore, Notwithstanding the fac
that there was less water than usual
Every year the company is getting
wiser about how to get the logs dowr
the tortuous Wenatchee river at min
imum cost.

The Wenatchee Daily Republic sus-
pended publication the first of this
week. The editor, David B. Tewkes-
bury, is perhaps the best newspaper
writer in central Washington. The
Republic was always welcome visitor.
We recognized it as fearless and able
purveyor of news. We do not pretend
to know the cause Of its suspension,
but suspect it is due to the fact that
under the stress of the times there was
not enough business in Wenatchee fol
two newspapers and the Republic being
the Younger of the two. and least able
to stand the financial strain, succumbed
to the inevitable.

the upper part as rooming house and
together with the contents was valued
at $1,000. A Tuchihira and K. Fu-
ruya had bought the building about a
year ago under contract from L. w.
Bloom. They had $4,000 insurance
and announce their intention to rebuild
on the old foundation which was not
damaged much by the fire.
The Tumwater Light & Water Co.,
sustained loss Of approximately $500
on poles and light wires.
In a fire which broke out at four
o'clock Sunday morning, January "a,
1906, this same area was burned over,
with the exception Of the Overland
hotel, which escaped last Sunday morn
ing but burned in 1904. Indeed the
site of the Overland hotel has been
twice burned over. Mr.. Bjork was
burned out on Thanksgiving day, 1896
when he lost $1,000. His loss jan
uary "a, 1904 was in round numbers
$4,000. No insurance.
In addition to the loss OF the Over
land hotel in 1904 Adams & Burke
then owned the town hall, valued at
1000, on which was $1,000 insur-
ance. w. w Walker, loss on building
and stock. $4,000, insurance $1,000.
M. H. Cahill, loss on building and fix
lures, $500, no insurance; Plisch &
Bliss, loss on stock and building ST.
500, insurance $4,000. The fire
stopped at the Adams & Burke building
now occupied by J. G. Fritz, the first
brick building in town. Last Sunday
morning the new Overland hotel build
ing stayed the fire ravages, again prov
ing the superiority of substantial brick
building. In round numbers the ag-
gregate loss last Sunday morning was
SIS, 900 and was equally as much in
the fire of 1904. In 1904 seven build
ings burned. Last Sunday morning six
buildings were destroyed.
We have no record of the loss in the
fire of 1896 beyond that of John Bjork,
whose loss as above stated was $11, 900
with no insurance, tho we are assured
by those who lived here at the time
that the loss was estimated at 5000
In 1896 there was not brick building
in the town and the fire stopped when
there was nothing more to burn. In
the FIRE Of 1904 the fire stopped at a
one-story brick building, although the
Overland hotel stood within two feet Of
the Adams & Burke building. Last
Sunday morning the fire again exhaust
ed itself when it reached brick
building, which was at no time in
much danger of catching fire.

Spokane Saloons Going Out of Business

Although the present Spokane city
ordinance provides that 208 saloons
may be licensed in Spokane, three
commissioners interviewed Tuesday
declare they are not in favor Of granting
any new licenses whatever at this time.
Mayor Hindley said in his opinion he
number should be cut down to $50
saloons
With two saloons whose licenses ex-
pired Monday failing to renew, the
number in this city now is 1856, and it
is promised as the result Of the agita-
ton of the statewide prohibition ques-
ton, other saloons will decide not to
continue in the business.

NEEDS A sTnoEoER MAN.

MEXICO is in need Of 8 strong man.
IT Is a country wonderfully neh in ma
tarai resources. In mineral and agri
cultural possibilities it al be ranked
with the meet productive Of Central
and South American countries. Bot
Mexico has no great mar upon whom
the people ean depend in 4 crisis, says
the Commercial Appeal
Hucrta, villa, De Ia Barra, Caranzs
ali p1ssess certain Characteristics which
wia distinction, but the power possess
ed by one IL lacking in another. None
can be credited with the genius of a
leader among men. (
Hnrrta possesses the power 81 a con-.
mahder and also has a certain amount
Of executive ability, but he is so sig
naliy lacking in other respects as to be
entirely unified TO govern the country.
Caranza is a gentleman and a patriot.
He is unsclfsh in his desire to free
Mexico from the bonds which are now
surely sitting the liberty Of the people,
but Carranza is equally untitled to di.
rect the destinies Of Mexico. villa is
q crude unprineipaled man, a soldier, Il
fighter, an intrepid man, but a man who
has no elaim TO diplomacy, and is sig
nalIy lacking in ommon horse sense.
Madero WAS better suited to hold the
presidency than any Of the four men
toned above, but Nedero lacked the
necessary frmness.
Madero Sas unlike HuPrta in this re-
specific would have ruled for the best
interests Of the country. He Was as
unselfsh in his desire TO administer to
the best interests Of the people as Car
ranza. Huerta. on the contrary, is
emiently selfish, schening in his ambi-
tions, possessed Of constructive ability
but bent on exploiting his country for
thebeneft Of a favored clique. Carran-
has mental scope, but he is more
or less Of a dreamer and possesses no
strength of individuality. The SOLE
claim Villa has for distinction is his
ability. This the world con-
redes. He is a mighty power for de-
struction, but by training and temper
sment he is utterly untitled for the
and unbuilding Of a degenerat-
ID country.
What Mexico needs today is a man,
man Of genius, of character, Of con
ability, and above all of good
sense. He should be a man
'ombining the executive ability OF
Diaz, the intelligence and high
patriotism Of a Francisco Ma.
and the military genius Of villa.
Until such a man is found Mexico
viii be like a ship at sea without a rud-
Ter.
In such times nature usually brings
o light the desired man, but nature
a little solow about producing

THE BIRDS SHOULD BE PROTECT

person to kill any kind Of bird, in tina,

ter of passing q similar order. There
is entirely too much bird killing in our
county, too many irresponsible young.

the natural enemy Of the bug, beetle,

HOPE FOR ~DRuNKARDs' WIVES.

The Commercial Appeal says there
Is at last hope for the wife and chill.
dren Of a drunkard. A ray of light
Sits into a dark situation with encour.
aging sureness. The Supreme Court Of
the United States recently held that
the saloon selling TO a drpnkard san
be held liable for the act.
This decision does not apply to the
saloonis. selling TO a man who occa.
sionally imbihes a drop too much. II
does apply, however, to the man who
because Of his bibulous habits has earn.
ed the title Of drunkard.
The decision of the highest tribunal
in the land shows the trend Of thought
of the people. II shows the disposition
toward reform and regulation. The
Supreme Court did not pretend to say
that no man shall sell liquor, or to at
tempt in any way TO prescribe the lin.
it or amount of liquor which can be
sold. 1t simply stepped in in defense Of
the wife and children and decided,
where a continuous drinker neglected
his home and family and invested his
earnings over the bar, the man who aid.
ed in this neglect should be held &C.
countable.
The case decided was appealed from
Nebraska. In Nebraska City a wife
and mother Of several children wa.
forced to depend upon her neighbors
for bread. The husband was a laborer,
well equipped physically and mentally
TO earn a comfortable living for his
family. Instead Of this. as fast as he
earned a dollar he spent it for drink.
The wife warned the two saloons which |
supplied the liquor that she would hold |
them responsible. She did. She
brought suit against each and was
awarded damages in the sum of 5000.
An appeal was taken and after travel.
ing through the curse Of the courts
the case at last reached the United
Supreme Court, which affirmed
the decision Of the Nebraska courts
and gave the wife the amount she ask.
ed for. This paves the way. The law
to all states alike. Any wifi,
has the right to exact damages from
the man who sells her husband liquor,

and knowing also that he is neglect.
ing his wife and family.
This is a cheerful decision. II lends
at least hope to many a despairing wife
and mother. 1t means that she is not
without redress. She may never gain
anything from her worthless husband.

loyaits. Even though your employer
break faith with you--as sometimes
may but seldom does, really heppeu--
your attempt to get even" by bet'ay-

to him az If does to you. You may gait
his employ or you may call him to ae-
count, bu, by being false to the trust
be imposes in you you take upon your
self the same brand and help matters
not one bit. In STOPPING TO petty
"revenge" you stoop to dishonor.
The moment you enter a mans en-

in you is to be sacredly guarded-more
saeredly guarded than you would guard
your own. His ambitions, his interests
and his policies should become yours.
No word Of disparagement or care
less criticism, or moekery should pass
your lips. You should be as loyal to
him behind his back as you are before
