FAVORS THOROUGHINVESTIGATION

REPRESENTATIVE HOLM IN AC-

CORD WTTH GOV. HAY'S IDEA

FOR SPECIAL SESSION TO IN-

VESTIGATE STATE OFFICIALS.

"I am in thorough accord withGovernor Hay in his idea of conven-ing a special session of the legisla-ture to consider the charges againstsome of the state officials," said Rep-resentative Holm this morning to theDaily World. ''Furthermore, I be-lieve that there should be a generalhousecleaning at the state capitol.There have been so many charges and jcounter-charges that I am satisfiedthat the people of the state will not

be content until all departments ofthe state administration are given athorough investigation. I believeGovernor Hay is conscientious inwanting to see that the state is notbeing overcharged or that any stateofficial is profiting at the expense ofthe state. I am not in accord withthe sentiment expressed in a recenteditorial in the Seattle Post-Intelli-gencer, in which the paper statedthat the legislature should be calledtogether and impeach Schively andthen adjourn. If we are called to-gether at all, which depends some-what on the report of the investigat-

ing committee which should be com-

pleted today, I believe that we shouldinvestigate thoroughly all thecharges that have been made andwhen we adjourn let the people knowthat all Is well in the state officesand if any wrong has been done seethat legal recourse is taken.

"I believe that there is somecrooked work. I believe that thestate land commissioner is in thedomination of the lumber trusts of

|the state and I think no investigationshould be completed without his of-fice being thoroughly investigated.

"Ialso believe that the state print-ing office is costing the state a gooddeal more than it should and I thinkthere should be some check to thisoffice.

'I take no stock in the sensationalcharges made by Dr. Beach. I be-lieve he is trying to make a grand-stand play, but if Governor Haydeems it expedient to call a special

session of the legislature, which hewill likely do, if done at all, withinthe course of a couple of weeks, Iwill insist on a thorough investiga-tion of every department of the stateadministration."

"As far as I am concerned I willoppose any further expense for localdeputy fruit inspector, at least untilthe commencement of the fruit ship-ping season," said County Commis-sioner Alex Pitcher today.

This statement was brought forthby a query from the Daily World to|Mr. Pitcher regarding his statementto Deputy Fruit Inspector D. W. Rod-erick yesterday that his services wereno longer desired by the county. Mr.Pitcher went to the court house withthe idea of talking the matter overwith Inspector Darlington, who hap-pened to be in Peshastin on officialbusiness. He found Mr. Roderick inthe office and informed him that thecounty would no longer stand for thesalaries of the local inspectors whohave been appointed by Mr. Darling-ton.

"I expect to hear either today ortomorrow," said Mr. Pitcher, "fromCommissioners Trow and Kinney onthis matter, and if they agree withme, which Ibelieve they will, we willcut off all the deputies in this county.We favored them durnig the time thenursery stock was being shipped in,

but that season is now over and Idon't think that the county shouldbe put to the expense of hireing $4per day men to go about the county

inspecting orchards. As f.ir as In-spector Darlington is concerned, wehave nothing to say about his work.He is appointed by State InspectorHuntley and is paid from the stateexchequer and the commissionershave nothing to say as to what heshall do or what he shall not do.

"During the last meeting of thecount commissioners we informallydiscussed the matter of fruit inspec-tion and we agreed that this was afarce. We took no formal action atthat time, but since then I havetalked over this matter of hiring alot of deputies to inspect the fruitat the shipping point and almost uni-versally the substantial fruit grow-ers of this valley, the men who have

"I know that the Commercial clubpassed resolutions endorsing thestringent inspection of fruit and allthat sort of matter, and I intend tomeet with the club and explain theposition of the commissioners on thismatter.

LOTS ON CHELAN AVENUE.

Architects Russell & Rice, of Se-attle, have submitted plans for ap-proval to the building committee ofthe Wenatchee Commercial club for

Ithe new club house, and with the ex-ception of a few changes on the base-ment plan the design as a whole will

columns that run to the second story.Steps will be run up from the streetand the vacant space in the frontwill be parked.

The basement will contain a gen-

eral assembly room, dining room andkitchen, and there will be a restroom for women on the northwestcorner. This will have a street en-trance and undoubtedly will be agreat convenience to the women whodrive in from the country for theirtrading. On the first floor will bethe secretary's room, large space forgeneral display, billiard rooms,lounging and reading rooms.

On the third floor, which will beused for rental purposes, are 15 fine

large bedrooms, in size from 10x14to 14x18. These ape all outsiderooms and there is a large corridorin the center of the building. Al!the floors have toilets and bathrooms. On the northeast corner ofthe lot will be located the gym-nasium. In this will be located the

heating plant for the building. Be-tween the two buildings will be astrip which will be sowed to lawn.

On the southeast of the building willbe located the tennis court and also

room for the girls' gymnasium. There

is no plan for this at the presenttime, but it may be built later on.

The total cost of this building willprobably aggregate from $15,000 to

$17,000, and the committee in charge

plan to have work started very early

next month. The buildings will be
