long to get back to Leavenworth.
The cold wave which struck this
burg last Sunday morning produced
the lowest temperature we have had
this winter. Coming after the unusu-
ally warm and pleasant weather we
have had for the past three weeks,
after we had been hattering ourselves
that winter weather was over for this
year, it gave us quite shock. 1t was
some comfort to be told that il was not
20 cold here as in Wenatchee, where
the thermometer reached the zero
point.

Lamb Davis Lumber Co., with a gang
of nine men has been at work for the
past thirty days clearing some of the
from the channel of the
river through the canyon.

this kind of work done for the past two
years. In driving logs down the river
last spring it was discovered that there
were still number of large rock thai

logs and would cause jams to form jim
the channel. To remove these trouble

over from Seattle one day last week
and spent day here looking over the
for the future. He found that
his indefatigable local agent, Mr..
Koren, had sold almost the entire tract
of the recently plated Leavenworth

proved to be very popular with our
town people. With the exception of a
few lots they were all sold to people
who live right here in Leavenworth.
Mrs. J. Railsback, whose home at
present is in Kent, Wash, was visitor
to our town this week, and made The

mosphere of Kent Mrs. Railsback has
discovered that the coast climate does
not agree with her and she is looking
for new location. Leaven worth
seems to have made quito a favorable
impression on her and she may decide
to locate here. BY occupation she is II
music teacher while by nature she is a
most agreeable and intelligent woman.
