8. M. Belvel went to Seattle last
Friday morning to consult physician.
He was suffering from kidney and
bladder troubles. He has suffered
more or less for years from this cause
John Bjork accompanied Mr.. Belvel
and tells US that he experienced con-
siderable relief before he left him on
Sunday last.
Frank Coleman, the wrestler, came
in from the Sound last Wednesday.
He was on his way to Lake Wenatchee.
He says he has a match with Tom
Davis for purse of $4,000 and the
gate receipts, which will come off at
Bellingham before the Athletic Club
of that place on the 9th of January.
After this match Mr.. Coleman will go
east as there is not enough doing In the
wrestling line to induce him to stay on
the west coast. He is quite confident
he will win in the match with Davis.
VIM. Grant, brother of James Grant
who died here several years ago, came
in from California one day this week.
Mr.. Grant is here to look after some
property interests which his brother
had here at the time OF his death. AT
that time the property was no. consid-
cred of much value. The development
and growth of Leavenworth has since
made the property, which lies on the
north side of the track, worth consider
able money.
Some of the enterprising spirits #

ter aineis. AS result OF their efforts
they have secured the Kryle Concert
Company, Ralph Parlette, Edmund
Vance Cook and Robert La Toilette to

Jno. Conway, who left here some four
weeks ago for Minnesota, returned last
Saturday. Mr.. Conway says he was
all through the Dakotas and Michigan
and Minnesota. The country, he says,
is in a very prosperous condition and
laborers scarce. He was there during
the severe storm that swept over that
country two weeks ago. The weather
was very cold and the wind almost
blew hurricane. He was glad to get
back to the country where storms come
not and the wind don't blow.
The Logging, Boom and Water
Power Company has force of IL or 10
men at work on the dam for the past
month. Two wing dams are being
built on the lower side to guard against
the wash in time of high water. The
logs which have heretofore formed the
apron below the dam are being re-
placed with rock. A track has been
laid on trestle work just below the dam
and fat car is used to haul and dis
tribute some fifteen hundred wagon
loads of rock that were piled up on the
bank on either side of the river during
the summer. 1t is the purpose of the
company to make the dam absolutely
safe.
For the past fe weeks the move
ments of Jack Smith have been very
mysterious. All at once he will be
missed by friends at his accustomed
haunts. Inquiry reveals that he took
night train for Spokane. Presto, and
he is back at the old stand, as If moth
ing unusual had happened. The first
of this week he made one OF those
mysterious exits, and rumor says he
went to Spokane again. Only one fact
is known beyond dispute. That is that
be went away as one. Now rumor is
very busy circulating the report that
when he returns it will be as two.
H viewer, for full confirmation, we can
only wait for developments. Promis-
ing to give the facts at some future
| time.
