THE ST. LOUIS EXPOSITION
An Object Lesson for the Observant
and a School for Grown
People

The great st. Louis Exposition the
latest and greatest of world shows,
which have become features of modern
life, at successive intervals, may very
appropriately be called school for
grown-ups, where they can take post
graduate course in world knowledge.
The following from the pen of Mr..
Gilliland the humorist of the Baltimore
American, who will make lecturing
tour in the west this fall and winter
tells how impossible it is to describe
the great show in words.
"What did I think of the fair?I won't
tell you. Not that I'm NOTES.-The
Lord who built my lump of vanity
knows better. But l can't, that's all.
Like the freshman at college, II don't
know no language but the English"
and that wont serve. There are only
few tame adjectiyes like magnificent
superb "limitless" ect., and Tommy
MacMechen has worn all those thread
bare telling about the pike. But the
incest thing about the press work in
connection with this fair is that the
men entrusted with the job of tell
ing absentees about it can't over state
anything. They can't come up to it.
They can tell folks sit is bigger than
Chicago" Ofcourse it is. 1t is also
bigger than the town Of Pinhook, Ind,
and prettier- The comparison in one
case is about as enlighening as in the
other. When l looked at that fair |
said to myself, "No matter how good
a fellows intentions might be he could
not lie about this thing. It's the most
discouraging situation to a willing
liar that ever encountered. The press
notices sound good but the public think
they are extravagant. II they could
only come and see they would realize
as I have realized that the story has
not been onet wentieth told, and that
instead of suffering from lacerated
consciences the chaps who wrote those
advance notices are leaning against
the oaks in Forest Park crying because
there were no adiectives that meant
what they wanted to say. "The only
way to lie about the expo. is to say it
isn't infinitely grander than has been
or can be told. And you'd be taking
chances with tightening when you said
it. Nobody tries to rob you either.
Go, see and believe.

Poisoned by Canned Meat

One day last week Chelan had a
wholesale poisoning. At first it was
thought to be typhoid malaria, which
naturally caused considerable surprise
and comment, as this vicinity is noted
for its remarkable freedom from malar.
ial diseases.
1t was learned that those afflicted
were among the number who attended
the Boyd school picnic at Larson's
grove recently, and all were taken
down at about the same time, so the
physicians have pronounced it pto-
maine poisoning, caused by eating some
kind of canned meat. While some of
the cases were severe, the attending
physicians say they think all the pa
tients will recover-thirteen in num-

that the gold deposits in his Office for
the fiscal year which ended June 30,
amounted to s17, ,449, ,989.s9. The weight
of these deposits is given as 1915 avoir-

its totaled 4,029.
Yukon territory heads the list, with

from Washington, Oregon, Idaho, Mon
tana and adjoining states amounted to

The figures given do not indicate the
total output of these districts, as por-
tion is shipped each year to the U. S.
mints and to other q. S. assay Offices.
The Seattle Office, however, receives a
generous amount of the mineral harvest
from these sections each year, aud the
total amount of deposits received since
the establishment of the Seattle office
July 10, 1898, just six years ago, shows
that Mr.. Wing and his staff of as
sistants have been kept busy handling
the precious mineral
The total amount of deposits made in
the Seattle Office since its establish
ment up to the first of the present
month is $50, ,314, 7sO.07. OF this amount
Alaska is credited with the total OF s17,
SOC, 1888, of which Nome has sent in
s14 1868, 102.07 and the remainder of
Alaska SO. .53s, s,576.S6. Yukon territory
has yielded the enormous total of s62,
554, ,051.76 and British Columbia 81, 472,
554.33.
The states of Washington, Oregon,
Idaho, Montana, etc, have turned over
to the Seattle Office 81, ,Ss1, 1896 in the
six years.
The number of tons given in the re-
port for the total is 177.S. The number
of troy ounces is 5,1S7, 1882, and the
total number of deposits 2S,S15.
The mineral yield of the state OF
Washington for the calendar year 1903
was 1852, 443.76. More than half of the
total was gold, which amounted to s466,
364.3S. The silver total was 1894 SOL 93
The value of the copper is given as SIP,
102 %, and lead SO, 9,115.23.

APer.i.tent ONCE seeker

Governor Stanley of Kansas was once
so pestered by Office seekers, relates the
Saturday Evening Post, that he found
it necessary publicly to make the state
ment that in view of the exceedingly
numerous applications for Office he had
received through the mails he should
be unable to give any attention to them
much less afford any hope of success
to the various applicants.
In the course of few days after
making the statement in question the
governor received the following note;
''My Dear Governor-I understand
that you have said that you were going
to take week off to destroy the letters
asking for jobs. II everything else is
gone, then, my dear governor, should
like the job OF tearing up the letters" "

Regarding the 'sHenry'' Bridge
Peshastin, Wash,
July Is, 1904.
Editor Leavenworth Echo

Editor Leavenworth Echo
In your last issue you were not
quite correct in regard to the remon-
STRANGE in regard to the Tom Henry"
bridge. Within the last year the coun-
ty has incurred bridge fund indebted
ness of over $4,000 taking over $1,000
per year to keep up interest. The
bridge fund tax Is limited by law and
in this county only amounts to little
over $4,000 per year.
Under these conditions those signing
the protest thought it unwise to incur
a further Indebtedness by spending
over $4,000 in one year on two bridges
about one and half miles apart to
benefit practically the same persons,
especially as about one-half of those
that the bridge was supposed to benefit
had signed the protest, and to the fur
the fact that it is almost impossible to
get any money expended to keep up
present roads and bridges in some parts
OF the county. AS for instance the road
TO Blewett, which is of great benefit to
Leavenworth and vicinity, which has
been condemned and has notices posted
along it warning people that the road
is dangerous and that those travelling
it do so at their own risk.
The protest contained over 250 names
of representative citizens and taxpayers
of this end OF the county and contained
no reference whatever to any other To-
cation and another site was not consid-
cred by the great majority OF those
signing the same.
thought it duty to those signing
the protest that their position should
be made clear in the matter. You are
at liberty to publish this over my sig
nature if you so desire. Yours,
S. P. Beecher.

TURNER'S DANCE HALL
Spokane Business Men Celebrate
While Families are at Summer
Resort

The following roast on some of the
prominent and respectable(?) business
men of the city appeared in the Review
Of last Saturday. The Review should
have given the names of the jewellers
for the benefit of those who visit the
city and want somebody to show them
the sights(P)
"With their wives and sweethearts
camping at summer resorts or Innocent

well known citizens of Spokane, assist

Front avenue, ten kegs of beer and five
dozen quarts of champagne, held one OF
the widest orgies ever seen In
this city in Turner's hall Thursday
night. 1t was privately tipped that
there would be select French ball for
about dozen of the lonesome spirits of
the town, but before the invitation list
was closed it contained twenty names,
and others were bidden by word OF the
mouth.
Before the affair ended many OF the
features could have stunned the Molin
Rouge for scandalousness. The cocottes
were there in silks, satins and high
heeled slippers. The reyelers retired
from the scenes of their debauchery
about a. m. An insufficient supply of
hacks was easily overcome, as many of
the girls climbed on top of the vehicles,
while others bestrode the horses aud
were conveyed to their homes. When
all we're mounted ready for the journey
final round of champagne was had as
farewell salute.
'The gathering included single and
married men, business men, bank en-
ployes, physicians and several members
of the Spokane club. After the first
exhilarations of music and wine were
experienced other revelries were de-
signed Plain Dancing was forsaken
and acrobatic stunts by the 'ladies"
were called for and loudly applauded.
AS the orchestra purred its slowest
waltz time the performers balanced
themselves on their hands and swayed
around the room to its rhythm. Wild
ribald songs added to the hurrah until
the party broke up. Not respectable
woman was present.

A. A. WILL LIFT
LID ON SATURDAY
Baseball Season to Open
With Georgetown Univer-
sity AS Attraction
MAYOR BIRD WILL TOSS BALL
Manager Frysinser's Aggregation VIII
Ride Around the City in Trolley Car.
Everson or Nops Will Do the Twirl-
ing-Piper to Catch.

Two more days and the fans will have
a chance to size up the team that is TO
represent Wilmington for the season Of
1904 in action. For weeks past the fol-
iowers of the game here have been
waiting for this occasion and when the
lid IS lifted on Saturday it is expected
that one OF the largest crowds that
ever attended a baseball game in VIII
mington will be present providing the
weather is favorable.
The attraction for Saturday will be
the Georgetown University team and
Manager Frysinger is to be congratu-
lated on securing such strong club.
This team is probably the strongest in
college circles this year and the fact
that Crumley and Hart have been Sc
lected as the battery is evidence that
the Georgetown management has care
fully sized up the local aggregation and
does not intend TO take any chances.
Crumley has made a record that has
brought him into prominence in base
ball circles throughout the country.
Several big league teams are now after
his signature to a contract. This clever
twirler has not only won all the games
he has pitched. but has blanked three
of the largest colleges in the country.
Manager Frysinger has practically
completed arrangements for the open
ing. Mayor Bird will probably toss out
the first ball and make a few remarks.
At ! o'clock on Saturday the team will
enter private car IN front of the Clay
ton House, and accompanied by a band
will go over the principal streets Of the
city. The uniforms will be the same as
in former years, excepting that the
players win have red coats with large
white buttons. The only regret is that
these handsome coats will not be here
by Saturday.
The weather has been so bad thus
far this week that the players have had
but little practice on the local grounds
but fortunately many Of them were IN
trim when they arrived. All the play.
ers are now in excepting those who are
not due until June /. Parkins, who wa,
announced. viii not be here, but ther,
is a strong pitching staff without him
Manager Frysinger has not fully de
cided who will do the pitching on sat
urday, but it viii probably be Eversoi
or Jerry Nops. Piper will do the re
ceivnig. The remainder OF the make
up Will probably be as follows. Lang
first base; Lord. second base; Sullivan
third base; Orbin, shortstop; Campbell
centre; Powers. right. and probabl,
Maher left.
