SEATTLE Wash, Oct ga special
to the acknowledgements from Sedro-
Wooley says:
The Skagt river Immediately south
of here is a mile and half wide and
still rising. The water from the river
in the Sterling bend district has gone
over the Great Northern right of way
and it is feared will carry away the
roads grading.
The damage to mills and lumber,
farms and stock is inestimabe.
The town of Minkler is standing in
lake three feet deep and many houses
have been abandoned.
At Mt. Vernon the river is at a
standstill. The tracks of the Great
Northern railroad at this point are un-
der several inches of water.
Word has just reached here that
Messrs Mulkey,' Simpson and Jewel
lost their lives while attempting to
cross the Baker river in a boat. The
boat was capsized by a floating log.
Although they were men of long ex-
perience on the river they were thrown
into the swirling waters where iC was
impossible to swim. Mr.. Mulkey

ABOUT PLANTIG TREES
A Questson of Vital Importance to Those
Planting New Orchards.

Some years ago in one of our farmers
institutes, Rev. Walden, a man who
has had wide experience in the fruit
business and who is considered among
the best authority in the state. said
that he would not advise any one 10
tending to plant an orchard to buy
trees from an irrigated nursery to be
set in an orchard that must be irrigat-
ed, but rather buy of a nursery where
trees are grown in Il natural climate
and transptanted into orchards where
irrigation is used. Trees grown in a
natural climate, that is, in a section
where rainfall is adequate to the de-
mands of vegetation, do well, much
better than otherwise, when trans
planted into irrigated soil. This is a
matter of much Importance and one
worthy of consideration.

The Crescent literary society gave

BAD MOUNTAIN ROAD
The Wagon Road Over the Wenatches Range
Reported in Bad Condition.

Mrs. William Dennis and son of East
Kittitas, returned Saturday from a
visit to Wenatchee with her mother
and son, Ed. They say the old ROAD to
Wenatchee has not been worked for
long time and it is almost impossible
to get over it with light rig that can
be lifted over the fallen timber that
lies in every direction in the road.
Besides, the road has washed out so
badly, that if there were no fallen trees
in the way, it would be hazardous
trip to make. There are now some
two or three wagons loaded) and teams
stranded on top of the mountain, and
one horse has been killed in trying to
get over the road. 1t would seem that
this road should at least be kept open
and as free of fallen timber as possible,
as it must be used more less each year.

the six young boys who recently or
ganiZed themselves into a band of pill
ferers and planned to steal from the
local merchants. The leader, young

fectual. 1t was agreed that if one was
caught in the act of pilfering he should
give the name of some innocent person.
but they failed to provide for other
contingencies. and when the propri-
etors of the Elk drug store caught
young Earl In the act of stealing, and

THE WEEK END VISIT.
How to Prepare for One and Accept an In
vitation,

A week end visit to the home Of an
out of town friend has become one Of
the most popular and delightful forms
Of entertainment for the invited guest,
says the Brooklyn Times. The center
ing of interests in big cities keeps the
busy people of the twentieth century
away from the beauties of nature. and
10 many the suburban home offers the
only means of breathing in the free
dom and luxury Of pure country air
and then only for few brief hours at
the end of the week.
The usual form Of invitation for the
week end is a short note from the lady
Of the house. the answer to which
should be something as follows:
My Dear Mrs. Flagg-Your kind note
inviting me to spend the Sunday OF the
18th with you and your family reach
ed me this morning. and l shall be de-
lighted to accept. Awaiting the pleasure
of seeing you all, am. very sincerely.
JOHN JONES.
Should previous engagement pre-
vent the acceptance Of the invitation.
an immediate reply is most courteous.
If the invitation comes in the form OF
an unsealed note brought by an en-
ployer or some friend from his wife,
prompt answer should be sent by mail.
A verbal invitation demands decisive
and polite acceptance or refusal.
For a girl correct attire Is represent
ed in smart tailored suit with dainty
shirt waist for travelling to and from
the friends house, while best hat
which Is not too perishable in its make
up is none too good for this short Sun
day trip. At very fashionable week
end each girl brings steamer trunk,
with four or more appropriate cos
tunes for outdoor sports, dancing, etc.
The girl of small allowance, however,
requires simply dress suit case con-
tanning light, fluffy dress for wear at
dinner and during the evenings Of Sat
urday and Sunday, a silk dress, if she
possesses one, for church, etc, on Sun
day, or a silk or other dainty separate
waist.
A mans clothes consist Of the well
pressed business suit which he wears
and plenty of immaculate linen in
hand bag with number of changes IN
neck scarfs and a good warm overcoat.
The man who Is fortunate enough to
possess one also carries his dress suit,
with clawhammer coat.
Before retiring at night ascertain at
what hour the family breakfasts. 1t
is the height of rudeness to keep any
meals waiting for you to put in an np-
pearance. If the family attend church
you should accompany them, appear
ing at breakfast in the costume you are
to wear for the day.
A gracious form for the note OF
thanks Is this:
My Dear Mrs. Flagg-My short stay
with you was extremely pleasant, and !
returned to town feeling greatly refresh
ed. Kindly accept my thanks for the out
ing and, with remembrances to your FAM
lily, believe me, sincerely,
JOHN JONES.

EVEN J. MATHEWS
What is Thought of the Democratic Nominee
AT His Former Home.

The people of Roslyn will no doubt
remember the cd city clerk and neigh
Dor when it comes to voting for the
next county county auditor Evan j.
Mathews held the position OF city clerk
in Roslyn Just as long as he wanted
the Office and to the satisfaction OF the
entire community. Even was always
foremost in every movement for the
good of the community and BOW that
he has had two years Of practical train
ing as deputy county auditor he Is bet
ter preferred than any one else to take
u the arduous duties OF the auditor 5
office. 1t should make no difference TO
the voter whether Even Mathews is IA
democrat or republican, just so he is
qualified to ill the Office and his long
years of clerical training has thorough
~ fitted him for that. In the auditors
Office at Elensburg, Evan has always
been glad to geet his old friends from
It0slyn and he hopes to be able to con.
tinue to extend to them the glad hand
for the next two years. -lsOslyh Miner.
