GOVERNOR CONSIDERS NAMING
A COMMISSION FOR REVISION
—FARMERS ARE MUCH DIS
SATISFIED.
Seattle, Oct. 14. —Governor M. E.
Hay has under consideration a recom
mendation from Pomona grange, or
Whatcom county, that he appoint a
commission to revise the game laws
of Washington. It is the contention
of the grange that the present state
game laws not only leave the sports
men in a quandry as to his rights
when he is suddenly confronted with
a game bird or animal, but discrim
ina<es against the men who are re
sponsible for the propagation of big
game in the state.
When the governor return* to
Olympia he expects to appoint a com
mission such as is suggested by the
members of Pomona grange. He has
asked the grange to suggest a man in
Whatcom county who would be satis
factory to them. Meanwhile, he has
taken steps to lay the matter before
the members of the rod and gun
clubs of the state and individual
sportsmen who are known to be in
terested in the revision of the game
laws. Pomona grange already has
the sympathy and support of the
governor personally for the proposed
revision and codification. •
Farmers Dissatisfied.
"I have received a good many let
ters on the subject of our game
laws,'' said Governor Hay yesterday,
"and there appears to be a movement
ni embroyo to give the state a brand
new set of statutes on the subject of
game. It is very evident that the
farmers of the state believe they do
not get as much benefit from our
statutes on game and game protec
tion as they are entitled to receive,
because they believe that were it not
for their efforts there would be prac
tically no game in the state. They
think that the city man who gpes into
the woods once or twice a year gets
more benefit and protection from the
present laws than they do, and, in
addition, the city sportsman bags
nearly all the game. They want a
change.
"Personally. I think the appoint
ment of a commission well in advance
of the next session of the legislature
to draw up a new set of game laws
would prove of inestimable value to
all concerned.
Law Unsystematic.
"We have" been constantly chang
ing our game laws until today we
have lost all trace of the originals.
Blunders and botches have been made
in the enactment of legislation deal
ing with the protection of game in
this state, to such an extent that to
day our game laws are wholly inade
quate to enable the authorities to
deal intelligently with the subject,
and I believe they do work a hardship
on the sportsmen.
"If I do appoint a commission it
will be composed of men whorepre
sent both farmers and club mem
bers and individuals. Between them,
the various interests should be able
to frame a law that would serve its
purpose and prove satisfactory to in
terests now in conflict."
Hpokane Woman Assigned to Turkish
Harem.
Mrs. Cora W. Carpenter, M. D..
who is practicing her profession in
Persia, writes from Tabriz to her
father. John A. White, a resident of
Spokane, that she has been advised
of her assignment to Constantinople,
where she will work independently in
the harems, making her the first
white woman physician to practice
there She says that a Mohammedan
woman will die before placing her
self in the hands of a man physician,
adding that hundreds are dying every
year. Mrs. Carpenter writes that
"the need of a woman physician Is
urgent at either place, Tabriz or Con
stantinople." adding. "One of the
men at Tabriz who can speak ajjittle
English said. 'Entire city welcomes
you.' which makes it rather pathetic
to leave."
Mrs. D. L. Pratt and children ar
rived here yesterday from Spokane to
join her husband, D. L. Pratt, of the
Chelan Butte Orchards company.

WILL ARRIVE IX THIS CITY THE
aOTH—CHAIRMAN OF COMMIT
TEE ASKS FOR FRUITS AND
V EG ETA BLES.
The Great Northern exhibit car
which is being fitted out in the north
west will arrive about the 20th of
this month. George H. Farwell, who
has charge of the making of the ex
hibits for the commercial club, re
quests that all the growers of the
valley who have anything in the way
of fruit or vegetables will please
notify him. This exhibit car will
run over the entire length of the
Burlington system and is considered
to be a fine advertising medium.
With tbe car will be lecturers who
will explain the easterners and south
erners the advantages of the great
northwest.
Some fancy exhibits are being
pared on the Sound and the Spo
kane country is also to have a big
exhibit on this car, and it is felt that
as fine an exhibit as can be prepared
should be sent out of this valley.
MBUOE
LAND SALE
RECEIVE LARGE FIGURE FOR
LAND OX COLUMBIA RIVER
BETWEEN TRINIDAD AND BEV
ERLY.
For $52,000 there has been sold
four sections of the Coffin-Babcock
land, including an irrigated ranch, on
the Columbia river. The buyers are
a Seattle syndicate. The land lies
in a section which appears to be in
line for considerable development.
The North Coast railroad is now car
rying on much work in that portion
of Washington. Further down the
Columbia, but above Beverly, the
Messrs. Coffin have sold two sections
of land at $20 an acre. The deal was
closed at Wenatchee, and it is under
stood that the purchasers are We
natchee people. A year ago the
Messrs. Coffin offered this land at $11
an acre and found no takers. The
price they have now been offered, and
at which they have sold, indicates the
change which has taken place in that
section in the short time of twelve
months.—Yakima Herald.
A NEW TIME CARD
It is expected that there will be a
new time card inaugurated on the
Great Northern within the course of
a few days. It is possible that it
will be ready by next Sunday. The
first of the month it is expected that
Nos. 3 and 4 will be taken off of the
run but business has held up so well
that it is possible this change will
not be made. Notwithstanding this
is the last week of the A.-V.-P. E. all
trains going both ways are well filled.

BILLY BOY MURDERING RIGHT
AND LEFT AND POSSE ON HIS
TRAIL HAS NO IDEA OF CAP
TURING HIM ALIVE.
EN ROUTE TO WARREN WELLS,
via Indian Courier to Banning, Cal.,
Oct. 14. —We are now on our way
and unlike the individuals in the
song, we certainly know where we
are going.
What is more, we know what we
are going after, and it does not take
more than a casual look at the faces
of the dozen determined men in our
party to convince anyone that we are
also determined to get what we are
going after —Billy Boy, the rengade
Indian, or his dead body.
We have enough provisions for
ourselves and our horses to last ten
days on the way to Warrens Wells,
where the trail of Billy Boy will be
taken up.
Ben DeCrevecoeur, who is at the
head of our party, was born and
raised in this country and he knows
how to get over the ground in the
easiest way. The three Indian trail
ers with us are said to be the best
in this part of the country and it is
believed that there will be little trou
ble in tracing Billy Boy if he has ven
tured to leave his fortress at the
summit of Bullion Mountain.
We picked up two squaws, aunts
of Billy Boy, from Twenty-Nine
Palms, and have sent them In to Ban
ning, as they are. suspected of hav
ing furnished the fugitive with food
and ammunition.
Members of our party do not ex
pect that Billy Boy will be taken alive
as they say it will be safer to kill
him than to take any chances of in
vestigating his position in view of
capturing him.
Not so very long ago Old Jim, an
Indian living at Twenty-Nine Palms,
went hunting with Billy Boy. He
never came back and Billy Boy re
ported that he fell down and acci
dentally killed himself. When the
body was found there were two bul
let holes in the back.
It is also rumored that he killed
two men in Nevada, and an old
squaw says she saw him kill a white
man just after he killed Mike Boni
face. He is also under suspicion of
having slain a boy and girl near
Needles, and of having killed bis wife
and child.
IS BEST TOWN 111
I WEST
O. B. FI LLER STATES THAT NO
WHERE IN OREGON, IDAHO
AND WASHINGTON IS THERE A
BETTER CITY THAN WENAT
CHEE.
O. B. Fuller, who returned Tuesday
from a summer spent on the Sound,
Oregon and Idaho, is very much
pleased at the improvements that
have been made in the city since his
absence. He states that the towns in
Oregon and Idaho are positively dead.
Pendleton, which has a much larger
population than Wenatchee, is very
quiet. The wheat crop in that sec
tion has failed for the past two years
and it is having a very retarding ef
fect on the whole section. Mr. Fuller
states that business buildings which
in this city would rent for from $100
to $200 per month, are renting for
$15 to $25 now in Pendleton. The
local option election in Oregon put
about 30 saloons out of business in
Pendleton and in the places occu
pied by these billiard halls, near
beer and other joints have been
started. A great many of these places
pay no rent at all —the owners be
ing glad to have somebody occupy
their buildings so as to protect the
insurance. Outside of Boise Mr. Ful
ler said that he found no good town
in Idaho but the further north he
came the better the conditions are.
He emphatically states that he found
no town anywhere near the size of
Wenatchee that is enjoying the same
degree of prosperity.
Member of the Associated Press
SAYS COOK DID
101 CLIMB
Mckinley
AFFIDAVITS HAVE REACHED
ARCTIC CLUB ALLEGING THAT
NORTH POLE DISCOVERER DID
NOT MAKE NOTED CLIMB.
New York. Oct. 14.—The Globe
this afternoon prints a copy of the
affidavit made by Edwin N. Barrill,
who accompanied Cook at the time
he announced his reaching the sum
mit of Mount McKinley. The affi
davit was made before a notary pub
lic in Tacoma, October 4, and has
just reached New York. Barrill's af
fidavit states in effect that he was
the only person present with Cook
on the date when he claims to have
reached the summit of Mt. McKinley
and that he did not in fact reach the
summit. The nearest ponit to the
summit reached was at least 14 miles
distant from the summit of the moun
tain, the elevation at no time ex
ceeding 10,000 feet. The affidavit
also brings into question a number
of photographs which Cook has given
as representing the summit and other
high altitudes of Mt. McKinley.
Barrill swears he kept a diary from
the time he joined the expedition and
that while attempting to reach the
summit he, under the directions of
jcook, made changes in it to suit
j Cook's idea. He says the photo-
I graph alleged to be the summit of
Mt. McKinley was taken on a jagged
point nowhere near the top, that
Cook directed him to hold the Ice axe
; with the American flag attached to
the handle to show he was photo
graphed. This photograph is shown
opposite page 227 of the doctor's
book entitled "To.the Top of the
Continent.'" and actually shows a
spot 20 miles distant in an air line
from the real summit of McKinley.
Barrill states he made certain draw
ings which accompany the photo
graph and which he claims show Cook
was nowhere near the summit. He
says Cook made other explorations
to obtain data which could be used
in making his claim of ascending Mt.
McKinley. Barrill flatly contradicts
Cook in many instances- and says the
j drawings and photographs of Cook's
| books do not represent the true con
ditions.
t -
Walter 11. Miller of Tacoma. pho
j tographer of the Cook Mount McKin
i ley expedition, has made affidavit
I corroborating that of Barrill in every
detail. Miller says he has photo
j graphs and maps which fully confirm
the statements of Barrill. The affi-
I davits om Barrill. Miller and others
jare sworn to in the office of James
jM. Ashton. attorney of Tacoma. who
jis retained by certain interests in
[New York, said to be the Peary Arc
| tic club, to investigate the alleged
i ascent of McKinley by Cook.
Rock Roller Working.
The new city rock roller is being
employed on Mission street. Some
loose earth has been hauled onto the
already graveled street and the roller
run over this, making a great Im
provement in this street. From pres
ent indications the roller is giving
good satisfaction.
Westbound Trains Late.
All westbound trains today are re
ported from three to four hours late.
No. 3 did not arrive until 9:30 and
No. 1 and the Burlington were also
reported late. The cause of the trou
ble was not ascertained.

n
COMMITTEE APPOINTED HI THE
PRESIDENT TO UP
BRIDGE MATTER, WITH STATE
i HIGHWAY COMMISSION.
At the meteing of the commercial
club Monday night President Kins
was empowered to appoint a commit
tee to force the reopening by the state
highway commission of the comple
tion of the "purchase by the state of
the Wenatchee bridge. The commit
tee was appointed this morning by
Dr. King as follows: R. F. Holm.
John A. Gellatly. Mike Horan and A.
L. Rogers, representing Douglas coun
ty. Dr. King will also act with the
committee.
The plan as outlined is for the com
mittee to go to Olympia, have a con
sultation with Governor Hay and then
take the matter up with the state
highway commission. The commit
tee has been in correspondence with
Attorney Dovell, who is representing
the interests of the commercial club
in the bridge matter and a telegram
was expected from him today setting
a date for the committee to proceed
to Olympia. The citizens of Wenat
chee and especially the members of
the commercial club feel that this
locality has not been dealt with fair
ly in the purchase by the state of the
Wenatchee bridge. It is felt that
there has been too much politics 'n
the matter and that the commission
has arbitrarily held up the compli
ance with the legislative enactment
of last winter.
