Agent J. TJ. Eddy, who Informed tho
council what the company desired In
the vacation of certain streets on tht
north side of their yards, vacated por
tion": of Monroe avenue, Depot. Pal
mer. Ash. Ulrch and Chestnut streets
and Harrlton and Lincoln avenues,
accrrdlng to the report by the Ob
server, .. !
During t!'.e remarks make by Mr.
nuokley he stated that the Improve-,
ments the company had In view,
would eorslst of a new modern round
house, machine shops, blacksmith
rhop, store house, etc., would cost
from $80,000 to $100,000. This Is th
first official statement of the propos
ed cost which has been vnrlously re
ported to be from $100,000 to $250,
000. !
The ordinance prepared for the va-.
cation of these streets demanded that
the company be required to put In a ,
crossing on Fourth nn.l at Fir street, ,
but Superintendent Buckley would not,
consider the proposition for a mo
ment and the offensive clauses were
expunged. Mr. Buckley settled, how
ever, that when the now roundhouse
was completed that there would be
two entrances Instead of only one as
at present and tha the estimated that
present switching on Fir street would
be reduced one-half. If he was In
error, however, he would not object
to putting In a gnte on Fir street for
the protection of teams.
Mr. Buckley also stated that the
company intended to either run' the i
refute water Into the city sewer orj
run a sewer of their own. j
This waste water has been the
cause of Just complaint among the'
cltlzenc north of the tract for many
years nnd It It hoped will soon be
properly taken care of.

Fruit l4iiid $1500 Pit Acre.
Two men In the Wenatchee valley
with whom the writer Is acquainted,
has Jut sold their fru't farms, one re
ceivliig $1500 and the other $14 75
per acre. If vou ask a man $5"0 per

We believe If the same care Is tt'k"n
of the orchards here as In the W.-nat-chee
valley, a great deal better fruit
could be produced, especially apples.

IX)I XI "SCOTTV'S" MINE.
Said That lx-.itli Valley Plunger Found
an Old Cliche.
A special to the Denver Post from
Tonopah says concerning "Scotty's"
mine in Death valley:
"Scotty,"' who created mild Interest
by his flying ride on the "Coyote spe
cial," the antics of his mule "Jim,"
and his tale of a Death valley mine,
is a sensation throughout Nevada.
The secret of his "mine" has been dis
covered. "Scotty" has found the old-time
cache of the robbers who held up the
trans-continental stages In the early
days. Dozens of Wells-Fargo, At
chison, Topeka & Santa Fe safes.
dragged from the coaches, were never
heard of Again until now.
A party of experts and easterners
was traveling In the Death valley re
gion in an automobile recently when
they met a prospector.
"See 'Scotty'?" he was asked. The
prospector explained that "Scotty'
was somewhere ahead of him, be
cause he had stopped In the shade of
his mule to rest, while "Scotty" push
ed on. "He showed me some high
grade ore and he's goln' out to realize
on It. He finds out I'm broke, pulls
out a lot f gold eagles, and he stnkes
me to $200."
In the light of the lamps the pros
pector held out some gold eagles for
the men to look at. The date was
1840 on each of them, with a mint
mark of "D." In 1840 there was no
mint at Denver, but during the rush
a mint In Delgnnas, Ga., coined money
for a time. The prospector went on:
"Those ore snmples 'Scotty' carries
are a blind. He gets to a town,
dumps out the sand in his bags and
turns up with legal tender money.
He's got the old stagecoach cache,
and he's slick enough to keep It. too."
The End of the World
of troubles that robbed E. H. Wolfe of
Bear Grove, Iowa, of all usefulness,
came when he began taking Electric
Bitters. He writes: "Two years ago
kidney trouble caused me great suf
fering, which I would never have
survived hnd I not taken Electric
Bitters. They also cured me of gen
eral debility." Sure cure for all stom
ach, liver and kidney complaints,
blood diseases, headache, dizziness
and weakness or bodily decline. Price
