Five parties, so far as we have been
informed, were in our town this week
wanting to rent business houses. Two
of them wanted good brick store rooms
and were willing TO pay good rent for
good rooms in good location.
J. M. Daley, the Leavenworth rep
resentative of the Brotherhood of Lo
connective Engineers returned from Los
Angeles, Gala, last Tuesday. The ses-
sion was quite long one and he says
much business of interest to the engi-
neers was transacted.
Mr.. and Mrs. Thomas Howard, re-
Gently from LOOMS, Okanogan county,
have decided to locate in Leavenworth.
They want to rent house for few
months until they can buy lots and
build. Mr.. Howard and wife are de-
sirable additions to Leavenworth's pop
ulation.
Carl Andersen, the nine year old son
of Chas Andersen, yard foreman at
the Lamb Davis mill, had the misfor-
tune to break both bones of his arm
last Tuesday in fall from piano box
on which he was playing. DR.. Mccoy
set the arm and the little fellow is get
ting on nicely.
A baseball game at the grounds north
of the track, Sunday, between the Mis-
sion nine and our town boys resulted in
a crushing defeat for the home boys.
The score was twenty odd to eight at
the end of the seventh inning. What
is the matter boys? Have you lost your
rabbits foot?
The brick that are made here by our
brickmakers are in one very essential
respect of a very superior quality, "a fact
which has twice been demonstrated in
the last four months. They stand fire
well. In truth they are better after
having gone through fire than before
The wall in the Merriam building as
also the one in the Adams & Burke
building, both of which had a severe
test, are as good, If not oetter than be-
fore the fire.
| At the present time the Peshastin
road comes into town through an un-
fenced alley between Commercial and
Front streets. Mr.. Elinger is preparing
to fence his lots facing on Front street.
This will close up the road in such a
way that people will not be able to get
into town, the streets have never been
worked and are full of large boulders.
Both Front and Commercial streets
should have enough work done on them
to make them passable. AS we are I'M
der the road jurisdiction of the County
Commissioners it is their duty to order
the work done.
It is the custom of the members of
the lodge of Forresters to attend in
body thanksgiving service in some
church on the second Sunday in June,
every year, and in pursuance of this
custom, says F. S. Taylor, he approach
Mr.. Cove, pastor of the Congregational
church at this place, and requested
him to preach a sermon on fraternity
next Sunday and the Forresters would
attend in body Mr. Cove declined
to receive the Forresters in
a body, saying he was opposed
to secret orders of all kinds, but
would be glad to have them attend
church as individuals. For this reason
the customary thanksgiving service
has been abandoned for this year, as
there is no other church here,
The fact that the bell at the church
and also the school house bell was found
tied up the next morning after the fire
led some people to believe that these
two circumstances might have had
some connection with the origin OF the
fire. A full investigation, however,
failed to reveal any connection. The
warehouse in which the fire was first
discovered contained besides large
quantity of trash, old bagging, sacks
and boxes. Several boxes of matches.
