Railroad Company Evidently Getting
Ready to Make Wenatchee Division
Point for Moses Coulee Branch —
Seeking Room in Alley Between We
natchee and Columbia.
Major Anderson, right of way
agf T it of the Great Northern railway,
wrfs in the city yesterday and while
here purchased the land on which
the Gilbert Marr lumber yard is lo
cated. For a consideration of $2,000
Mr. Marr transfers to the railroad
company the five lots occupied by his
lumber business and took in place
of them eight lots on the south end
of block 8, the same block in which
the Beal Milling company is located.
The change will be made just as soon
as a side track can be built to the
new yard site.
While Mr. Anderson did not di
vulge the purpose of his company in
securing this tract of ground, yet it
is thought that this is required as a
yard site. Additional tracks, turn
table and shops will be located there,
so it is thought. Inasmuch as it has
been announced that Wenatchee is
to be the division point of the new
line up Moses Coulee, the shops, turn
table and additional sidetracks are
requisites.
Mr. Anderson also made the pre
6HELAN REAL
ESTATE CHANGE
IRRIGARLE AND LAKESHORE
PROPERTIES IN DEMAND BY
INVESTORS—TWO DEALS THIS
WEEK.
An important real estate transfer
was made the latter part of last
week when Messrs. C. J. Trow and
L. V. Harper and Miss Delia Delvin
closed a deal with L. J. Hadley, of
which the latter owned on First cree
Vale. Oregon, for the 30-acre tract
which the latter owned on First
creek, says the Chelan Leader. The
consideration for the whole piece was
$3,750, and the purchasers have di
vided it between themselves, Mr.
Trow taking one-half and Mr. Harper
and Miss Delvin taking the other
half together.
This tract is a portion of the John
W. Johnson homestead. It lies back
about half a mile from the lake shore
and is well situated for irrigating.
Every foot is irrigable and a big
ditch from First creek supplies an
abundance of water for the whole
tract. There are 800 thrifty fruit
ttfes on the place, nearly all choice
waiter apples, and eight acres of al
falfa.
Divided as it is now it will make
two very desirable home places, and
at the price paid the new owners un
doubtedly made an exceptionally
good buy.
Messrs. J. H. Brand and Frank
Cowan, the Seattle gentlemen who
were mentioned last week as pros
pective settlers on Lake Chelan,
closed a deal the latter part of the
week for the Christie tract of 15
acres on the lake shore just west of
Lakeside. The consideration was
$3,500. They have returned to Se
attle but Mr. Brand will be back
soon to take charge of the place. Mr.
Cowan expects to bring his family
here later to reside.

There will be a meeting of the

i liminary arrangements for a strip of
15 feet on the rear of a number of
lots in the alley between Wenatchee
avenue and Columbia street. Evi
dently it is the purpose of the rail
road company to build the sidetracks
|not only on Columbia street, accord
ing to the late franchise issued, but
; also in the alley south of Kittitas
street.
So far there has been nothing said
|or done that would give any inkling
las to the location of the new depot.
' A number of the business men of the
I city have a hunch that it is going
;to be located in the north end of the
' city, up, possibly, as far as Fifth
street north. This would take it
above the sidetracks.
By the purchase of the Marr prop
erty the railroad company has con
! trol of all the property required for
! sidetracks on Columbia street. It
has held an option for a long time on
the unsold property of the Wenatchee
Development company, and it will
have to purchase nothing else in or
der to lay sidetracks, build shops or
yards in the south end.

ARCHITECT FOR NEW HIGH
SCHOOL HOLDING WILL HAVE
PLANS FINISHED IN TWO
WEEKS—NO BRICK TILL JUNE.
School Director Gellatly was talk
ing yesterday with the Seattle archi
tect who is furnishing tne plans for
the new high school building. The
plans and specifications will be com
plete in another two weeks' time.
The great obstacle to the commence
»snt on the new building is the brick
uation. It will be impossible to
secure brick until about June 1.
Messrs. Hobson are to furnish these
but it will be impossible to get
enough to start in with until this
time. The two buildings will take
almost 1,000,000 brick, and as it is
not practical to .ship these in, the
board will have to wait until that
time to start building. The excava
tion can be done this spring and it is
likely that a contract will be let just
as soon as the plans are completed.
FITTING CLIMAX
TO A WILD CAR!
(By Associated Press.)
Paris, March 13. —Fernand Raven
ez, a wealthy young Parisian whose
career fo rfour years was almost a
daily sensation, gave a supper to a
number of friends at Monte Carlo
last night. The pace was fast and
furious, but Ravenez cried, "This is
nothing; a big surprise awaits you at
the end." Just as the guests were
preparing to depart he walked tow
ard a gypsy orchestra and suddenly
drew a revolver and fired a bullet
into his brain, dying instantly.

MISS FLORA WILSON IN STUNNING BALL GOWN.
Miss Wilson, daughter of the sec retary of agriculture, wore one of the
smartest gowns seen at the inaugural ball. It is a Paris creation of pale blue
velvet embroidered with seed pearls and ornamented with turquoises and
spangles of gold. Miss Wilson is of queenly proportions and attracted quite
as much attention at the ball as any of the many noted beauties who were
there. She recently returned from l'nris and has attended many receptions

DIRECTORS WANT
SCHOOL SITE
PADOSHEKS HAVE CHANGED
THEIR MINDS AND WILL NOT
SELL ACRE TRACT FOR SOUTH
END SCHOOL.
The people of the south end of the
school district want a school build
ing but no one wants to give up
ground for the building. Last fall
Martin Padoshek agreed to sell one
acre for this purpose but after re
turning home this spring he had a
change of heart and now refuses to
| dispose of any of his land for this
| purpose. A meeting of the school
\ patrons of this end of the district
I was held this week to discuss the
situation, and it is likely that if.no
! one will voluntarily sell a suitable
site that it will be up to the board
to condemn a site. The school board
is now engaged trying to solve this
: problem, and it is up to this body
!to get some land, either by a volun
; tary sale or by process of law.
U. S. AND MEXICO
MAY INTERVENE
(By Associated Press.)
Washington, March 13. —Possibly
the Joint intervention of the U. S.
and Mexico in the interest of peace
in Central America is believed now
to be under serious consideration.
The question at issue is exactly the
extent of the obligation imposed upon
the two larger republics under the
terms of that Central American peace
compact at which the five republics
agreed to submit any quarrel be
tween themselves to arbitration. It
would be under this stipulation that
the intervention would be based.
Wheat Prices Weak.
(By Associated Press.)
Chicago, March 13.—The wheat
market was weak early in the session,
the price being lower than yester
day's close; opening May, $1.16 3-4
to $1.17 1-8; July. $1.15 1-8 to $1.16
DENY INTENTION
TO WAGE WAR
(By Associated Press.)
New York, March 13. —The presi
dents of both Nicaragua and Salva
dor deny that there has been any
outbreak of hostilities between the
two countries. Messages of inquiry
were addressed today by the Asso
ciated Press to General Zelaya, presi
dent of Nicaragua, and General Fig
uero, president of Salvador, concern-
I ing the reports of warlike activity be
| tween the two republics, and the fol
lowing replies have been received:
I "Metnagua, March 13. —Reports of
war between Nicaragua and Salva
idor are without foundation. Peace
' reigns in Nicaragua.
ZELAYA."
| "San Salvador, March 13.—There
iis no truth in the report that war
has broken out between Nicaragua
; and Salvador.
FIGUERO."
Mexico City, March 13. —It is re
! ported here on unimpeachable evi
jdence obtained that President Zelaya
jof Nicaragua is endeavoring to em
; broil Costa Rica in the present Cen
itral American difficulty. To that end,
jit is said, he has built a number of
| forts and stockades along the bor
der, to which he has shipped large
: stores of ammunition.
Washington, March 13—Just what
action the United States will take in
curbing the action of President Ze
laya depends largely upon the reply
of Mexico to the dispatch of last
night of Ambassador Labarra, fol
lowing his visit to the state depart
ment. This Is expected today. The
navy department is co-operating with
the secretary of state and is pre
pared to send marines to Nicaragua
on short notice. There are 500 ma
rines at Panama and 200 at Guanta
noma, Cuba, and* these. It is believed,
will be able to meet the necessities
of the case. Several naval trans
ports are available for Immediate
service in conveying marines to Cen
tral America and it is understood
they will receive orders to be in
readiness to get under way prompt
ly.

along San Juan river and the lake
shore at Fuerte and Naranja.
FEW GAME LAWS
IRE PASSED
LAST LEGISLATURE HID BIT
LITTLE TO REMEDY DEFECT
IVE LAWS NOW ON THE STAT
UTES.
One of the local sportsmen, who
did not care to get his name in the
paper, was seen this morning regard
ing the sins of omission and commis
sion of the erratic legislature at
Olympia.
"What did they do for us?" he
mused. "Well, they balled up our
good bills with a lot of hootchy
kootchy amendments until we had
to kill them in committee in order
to save a hoof or a feather in the
state. They also introduced enough
new and useless laws to paper the
Palisades of the Columbia, but," with'
a shudder, "not many of 'em got
through, and there will be a little
game left." Then he relapsed into
impenetrable gloom of such density
the reporter couldn"t see the flame
of the match as he lit a cigar.
One Good Bill Passed.
About the only beneficial change
is the setting apart of Lake Wash
ington and the territory surrounding
for a distance of one mile as a bird
shelter. No gun of any description
will be allowed in this area, and, as
the game seems instinctively to know
in a very short time the limits of its
protection, it's probable this lake and
vicinity will soon be a famous breed
ing place for the feathered ones.
East of the Cascade mountains
the brook trout season is curtailed
one month, the season opening May
1. West of the cascades, April 1 re
mains the date. There is no other
important fishing legislation, and, ex
cept for the closing of Skagit county
on quail and doves, there is no new
enactment affecting feathered game
west of the mountains.
Bounties Are Increased.
The bounties on cougars and tim
ber wolves has been greatly increased
and it is hoped these depredators
will fall prey to the war that will
certainly be waged upon them by
trappers and hunters. The cougar
bounty is raised from $5 to $20. and
that on wolves from $2.50 to $15.
Much disappointment is shown by
conservative sportsmen over the de
feat of Senate Bill 335. which was
intelligently framed for existing
needs. It provided for a shortening
of open seasons, the same opening
day for all upland birds, a reduced
bag limit, a daily and weekly bag
limit, prohibited the killing of deer
in the water, and stipulated a $2 5
hunter's license for alien and non
resident hunters. The bill passed, it
is true, but was so obnoxious to its
projectors in its amended form that
they lobbied for its burial in com
mittee.
VICTIM OF BLACK
HAND BANDITS
(By Associated Press.)
New York, March 13.—A special
cable to the Herald from Palermo
says that Lieutenant Joseph Petrosi
no, of the New York police depart
ment, was shot and killed early this
evening near his hotel. The assas
sins are unknown. He came here on
an important mission which had for
its object the protection of peaceful
Italians of America.
Joseph Petrosino, the black hand
expert of the New York police de
partment, was a terror to Italian
criminals. He incurred the enmity
of all Italian criminals. It is said
that he had more convictions for
: murder to his credit than any other
j detective on the force, and it is be
! lieved he at last fell a victim to those
i whom he had so relentlessly prose
jcuted. He went to Italy to establish
I bureaus throughout the country
! which could keep a complete record
lof Italian and Sicilian criminals for
! the purpose of preventing their land
i ing In this country.

the Chicago, Milwaukee & St. Paul

Construction on the Chicago, Mil

when the last spike is driven near

On account of snow in the moun

Rrure Griggs Says Steamer Enter

ters of Upper Columbia.
Bruce Griggs, who is operating a
stage line, auto line, steamboat line
and promoting orcharding proposi
tions in the Kettle Falls country, is
in the city today. He states that he
expects to start his steamer line
again the first of the month, running
boats from Kettle Falls to Fort Spo
kane, draining the Big Bend country
by a stage line which runs from
Creston to Fort Spokane to connect
with the boat there.
Mr. Griggs is very' optimistic over
the upper Columbia river country and
thinks that it has a great fruit fu
ture.
The recent legislature appropri
ated $50,000 for the Improvement of
the Columbia river between Bridge
port and Kettle Falls, and Mr.
Griggs states that this will put the
river in very good shape and it is
thought that it will make It practical
to run the boats from here clear up
to Kettle Falls.
