Enthusiastic Meeting Last Night to Do
Honor to Men Who Conceived the
Bridge and the Men Who Were In

That the people of Wenatchee ap
preciate the efforts made by Repre
sentative Holm in the securing of
legislation favorable to the purchase
by the state of the Columbia river
bridge was evident by the meeting
held last night at the Commercial
club rooms. While the gathering was
called especially for the purpose of
doing honor to Mr. Holm, yet it was
to celebrate the "free bridge."
The Wenatchee band d'scoursed
some excellent music during the eve
ning, enlivening the program that
had been arranged. President King
called the gathering to order prompt
ly at 8 p. m. Frank Reeves was the
first speaker and reviewed at some
length the record of Mr. Holm In be
half of the measure that means so
much for Wenatchee.
Charles B. Reed was the second
speaker and devoted his time to an
explanation of the bill providing for
a topographical and geological sur
vey of the state. This hill, carrying
*"an appropriation of $50,000, passed
* V£ legihTf'hire Btut his ftot yet bee'tf
■sued by Governor Hay.
* Mr. Reed stated that he feared
that this would fail of securing the
governor's signature and asked that
a committee be appointed to send a
telegram this morning to Mr. Hay,
conveying the favorable sentiment
of the Commercial club to this bill.
The committee as appointed was
Messrs. Holm, Reed and Trimble.
Mr. Holm was called upon and
made a neat little speech, express
ing his appreciation of the honor
done him by the meeting. Mr. Holm
is very modest and does not take to
himself all the credit for the pass
age of the bridge bill, but spoke very
highly of the work of Senators Smith
son and Davis, and also of Former
Senator Gunn. He also gave credit,
to W. T. Clark and other members
of the club who have worked unceas
ingly for this measure.
Mr. Holm also called attention to
another matter of legislation that
has been overlooked by most of the
Wenatchee people. During the clos
ing days of the last legislature the
state highway bill was; passed. This

HOBSON BROS. NOW HAVE
EQUIPMENT FOR TURNING
OUT 40,000 BRICK PER DAY
COMMENCE APRIL 10.
Ilobson Bros., the brick men of
this city, have just received a full car
of new brick machinery from Dayton.
Ohio. This is the newest and most
efficient brick machinery made and
the new machinery has a capacity of
40,000 brick per day. Additional
ground has been secured by this firm
adjoining the old site, and active
operations will be commenced about
April 10. A very large run is to be
made this year, about 1,000,000
brick being required by the school
houses that are to be built, besides
a number of business blocks that will
require a great many brick. Hobson
Bros, expect to supply the entire de
mand and have the brick ready when
tpPquired.
E. D. Ingersoll. of Malaga, is a
Wenatchee visitor today.
I carries with it an appropriation of
j $120,000 for the building of state
! road No. 7. This road was definitely
, laid out as going from Easton, down
the Wenatchee river, crossing the
s*ate bridge and thence eastward to
Spokane. In connection with the
building of this road Mr. Holm call
ed attention to a change in the plan
of work as outlined by the state high
way commissioner, in that in the fu
ture the work would be commenced
in the middle of the road and worked
from both ends, so that it is expected
that operations will be commenced
here soor and building be pushed
both east and west from the bridge.
Messrs. Gellatly, Thayer and
Stocker were appointed a committee
to convey to Senators Smithson and
Davis the appreciation of the Com
mercial club for the assistance ren
dered in securing the passage of the
bridge measure.
W. T. Clark made a short address,
giving some of the inside history Inci
dent to the workings of the past
and telling Jrbit one en
counters on going to Olympia with
a bill which he desires to have
passed.
John A. Gellatly made a short talk,
mostly on the reminiscent order, and
noted the progress made in the Com
mercial club during the past six
years.
Dr. Stephenson gave a short talk
i along the lines of "Better Citizen
jship." He emphasized the sugges
tion that he made at the club on an
other occasion, that an institution
should be located here for higher
education. He believes that the time
:is ripe for a college here, one that
should not only give instruction
along the regular channels, but one
; that should make a specialty of in
struction in horticulture. The ad
dress was a thoughtful one and set
many people to work thinking as
to the practicability of the scheme
of starting a school for higher learn
ing at this place.
The assembly room was well filled
\ last night and a number of new
names were added to the club ros
ter.

SURVEY BILL SIG
NED LAST NIGHT
TELEGRAM SENT THIS MORNING
TO GOV. HAY REGARDING TO
POGRAPHICAL AND GEOLOGI
CAL SURVEY TO NO AVAIL.
The action of the Commercial club
last night in appointing a committee
to draft a resolution to send to Gov
ernor Hay, asking that he sign the
bill providing for the appropriation
of $50,000 for a state topographical
and geological survey, is of no avail.
The telegram was sent Governor Hay
this morning but Governor Hay had
signed the bill late last night. The
bill carries with it an appropriation
of $50,000.
The bill was passed in two sections,
one appropriating $30,000 for topo
graphical mapping, which will be
spent under the direction of the
United States geological survey, with
a like sum from the federal govern
ment, and the other appropriating
$20,000, which will be spent under
the direction of the state board of
geological survey, consisting of the
governor, secretary of state and the
presidents of the state university and
the state college.
Before the bill which became a law
was introduced in the legislature two
bills were considered there, one intro
duced by the coal mining interests of
the southwestern part of the state,
providing for an appropriation of
$10,000 for geological investigation,
and the other by the timber intersts,
providing for an investigation of
logged-off lands, with an equal ap
propriation.
Influence Sways Governor.
When the final bill was under con
sideration in the state senate Acting
Governor M. E. Hay declared in an
interview that in the event of the bill
passing both houses of the legislature
he would not sign it, as he considered
other projects more worthy of an ap
propriation. All the influence that
the mining interests of the state
could bring to bear was directed at
the acting governor. The Mil was
indorsed by the county engineers.
The president of the State Farmers'
grange gave it his support and other
organizations were interested, with
the result that it was passed in both
houses without having the appropria
tion provided for cut and escaped the
governor's veto.
The $30,000 which will be spent in
conjunction with an equal amount
from the federal government, will be
used for topographical investigation
and for making contour maps of the
state. The $20,000 appropriation
PRESIDENT HI SENT TAR
IFF HlO CONGRESS
Impressed Upon Lawmakers That Tar
iff Tinkering Should Be Rushed Just
as Fast as Is Consistent With Proper
Consideration of the Matter—Bill to
Be Ready Tomorrow.
(By Associated Press.)
Washington, March 16. —President
Taft's message to congress today was
as follows:
"To the Senate and House of Rep-;
resentatives: I have convened the
congress of the United States in this
extraordinary session in order to en
able it to give immediate considera
tion to the revision of the Dingley
tariff act. Conditions affecting the
production of manufactures and busi
ness generally have so changed in the
last 12 years as to require a read
justment and revision of import du
ties imposed by.that act. More than
this, the present tariff act with the
sources of the government revenue i
does not furnish income enough to,
pay the authorized expenditures. By
July 1 next, the excess of expendi
tures over receipts for the current
fiscal year will equal $100,000,000.'
"The successful party in the last
election is pledged to a revision of ■
the tariff. The country and business j
!community especially, expect it. The;
j prospect of a change in rates of im- '
! port duties always causes a suspen-
Ision or halt in business because of,
j the uncertainty as to the conditions
[to be made and their effect. It isj
therefore of highest importance thatj
the new bill should be agreed upon;
and passed with as much speed as
possible, consistent with its dues and
thorough consideration. For these
reasons I have deemed the present to
be an extraordinary occasion within
the meaning of the constitution justi
fying and requiring the calling of an
extra session.
"In my inaugural address I stated
in a summary way. the principles
upon which, in my judgment, revi
sion of the tariff should proceed and

The Camille Kearns company is com

indicated at least one new source of
; revenue that might be properly re
i sorted to in order to avoid a future
; deficit. It is not necessary for me
!to repeat what I then said. I ven
| ture to suggest that the vital busi
ness interests of the country require
; that the attention of the congress
in this session be chiefly devoted to
a consideration of the new tariff bill
and that the less time given to other
subjects of legislation in this session
of congress the better for the coun
try.
WILLIAM H. TAFT,
The White House, March 16,
1909."
The new tariff bill will be intro
duced in the house tomorrow, the
delay in its presentation being to se
cure the approval of a new republi
can member on the ways and means
committee whom the speaker will ap
point to succeed Mr. Bonynge, of
Colorado, whose term expired.
Forty-four republicans and eleven
democratic senators were in their
seats when the president's message
was laid before that body. It re
ceived careful attention. Many
laughed when the suggestion that no
legislation except that in relation to
tariff be considered at this session
was read.
Senator Gallinger presented a reso
lution of the legislature of New
Hampshire declaring that the in
heritance tax should not be made the
subject of national legislation but
should be left to the states as a
source of revenue.
A motion to adjourn until Friday
was adopted.
When the message was read in the
house the republicans gave loud and
prolonged applause. It was referred
to the committee on ways and means.
