CHANGE IN THE BANK
II. 4. Carr Resigns and Is Succeeded
by Guy A. Hamilton as Cashier

On the first of the year H, E. Carr
severed his connection with the Lamb
Davis Lumber Co., and resigned as
cashier OF the Tumwater Savings Bank,
position he has filled since W. 81.
Hadley resigned on account of i'll health
last spring. Mr.. Carr came to Leaven-
worth nearly four years ago from Gin
ton, Iowa, where for ten years he was
connected with the interests of the
Lamb family in the numbering business.
When the Lamb-Davis Lumber Co. was
formed and decided to establish a mill
at this place Mr.. Carr was offered re-
sponsible position with the new com
pany. Since coming here he has al
ways been Mr.. Petrol Davis right-hand
confidential man. He was held in high
esteem by the company and they were
10th to lose his services, but his private
business interests have grown to such
an extent as to require his undivided
attention. He will remain here and in
future, as in the past, be one of our
most useful and enterprising citizens.
Mr.. Carr's resignation as Cashier of
the Tumwater Savings Bank, corpor-
alton subsidiary to the Lamb-Davis
Lumber Co., made an opening for the
promotion of competent and trust
worthy gentleman who has made his
home here for more than two years.
Guy A. Hamilton accepted employment
in the Office of the mill company soon
after arriving here. Last spring after
the resignation OF Mr.. Hadley Mr..
Hamilton was asked to accept the posi-
ton of assistant cashier and bookkeeper
In the bank. So satisfactorily has he
filled the position that when the oppor-
tunity presented itself his promotion TO
the position of cashier followed as a
matter of course. We predict that in
due time he will take front rank as
reliable and conservative banking man.
F. S. jacobson, who has been head
bookkeeper for the mill company since
its establishment, will in future be gen.
eral auditor for the company.
Mr.. Carr has consented to devote his
time to the interests of the mill com
pany at the request OF Mr.. Davis, who
has been confined by sickness, and will
wind up such matters as he is familiar
with and that require immediate atten-
ton, until Mr.. Davis is able to be out.

A method of getting rid OF stumps
which has been highly recommended
and which, TO be effective, should be
done now, is as follows: Bore hole
one or two inches in diameter and
about eighteen inches in depth into
the center of the stump. Then put in
to this hole one or two ounces of salt
peter. Fill the hole with water and
plug it up. In the spring take out the
plug, pour in about one-half gallon OF
kerosene oil and light it. The stump
will smolder away to the very extrem-
tiles of the roots, leaving nothing but
the Understanding.

Recently the best cook in Leavnworth
and the next best cook in Leavenworth
met, and, quite naturally the conyers-

of the conversation the best cook said
to the next best cook, ''you can make
just as good bread, cakes and pies as |

Not great deal of interest was taken
in the election last Saturday in the
matter of voting on whether the dis
trict should be bonded for $4,000 to
build new school house and take up
the outstanding Indebtedness. Perhaps
if there had been any opposition the
vote would have been larger The
friends of the issue felt confident that
the school patrons were in favor of the
bonds, and did not bestir themselves.
The vote stood 28 for the bond issue
and ohe against.

Electric Road from Wenatchee 10
KtOna

An electric railroad is to be con-
structed from Wenatchee to Kiona,
thus connecting the Northern Pacific,
Milwaukee and the Great Northern
roads. This is the report received here
from Seattle and is said to have en-
anated from the Office of the Hanford
Irrigation Co. Secretary Haynes, in
response to inquiries as to the truthful
ness of the report, admitted that the
company with which he is connected
has in contemplation the construction
of such line.
Securing its power from the vast
amount of energy now going to waste
in the Priest rapids, this new road will
connect the several great irrigation
districts of eastern Washington.
Heretofore there has been no north
and south road in the state. The need
of such communication between the ir-
rigated districts OF north central and
south central Washington has long
been felt.

Substitutes For Hay.

1t Is not an unusual occurrence that tbs
weather in the spring is 80 dry that the
hay crop Is short or an almost total TALL
ure. 1t Is strange that some way cannot
be devised for irrigating at least a sum
cient amount Of tillable land to insure the
farmer q good hay crop. There Is no ration
that will take the place Of this, and the
facilities for making sure Of 1t are any
thing but satisfactory. Every farmer
should set apart q certain portion OF his
low land for hay. In wet weather he Is
likely to have a good crop anyway, ana
In dry times a we'll cared for field OF low
land will do much to bridge over the time
between late autumn and early spring,
wher there Is nothing whatever out OF
doors for stock to eat. The practice OF
sowing millct, sorghum, co@peas OF
crimson clover late in the season, when
the indications are that fall pasture will
be poor, and that the hay crop is altogeth-
or unsatisfactory, Is becoming general.
Cornstalks may be cut as soon as the ears
are ripe. The earlier they are cut the more
nutritious they arc and the more valuable
for feeding. AS rule, farmers give Toe
little attention to cornstalks, which, when
properly cured, are among the most useful
of food products for stock, especially SO In
the absence of an abundance OF good hay.

seems that the whole was intended 10 instlI

The Mind and Action,

Ioncc asked a class Of l6 girls to think
!ntently what it would feel like to HIT the
right hand and touch the left shoulder.
Aftor u fow minutes had elapsed nine OF
them confessed having felt a desire to do
1t. I then dropped the subject and spoke
of something else. In O few moments six
actually did it. Most persons when con.
centrating attention upon the thought OF
what q given movement would feel like,
find themselves becoming possessed OF a
desire to do it, and this desire marks the
tendency of the thought to produce the
movement. But as We not only feel but
also SEQ our movements, we find that the
thought of what q movement looks like
hos also motor value and tends to produce
it. This is also true Of touches and ideas
of touch-indeed all or nearly all mental
states produce some motor changes In the
body, but tho motor effects Of sensations
and IDEAS OF sound, taste and smell are rel
atively slight.-Professor W. f. Newbold

O A m WRONG PLACE.

that a suitable hall shall be hired and
obtain the use Of ten OF twelve teams,
as many men and a sufficient supply
Of crushed stone to construct a length
Of good road as a sample.
When the train arrives, the engineers
will begin at once to build about q
mile of dirt road with the teams, men
and materials furnished by the local
lty. They will then surface or macad'
amize as much of that road as their
time will permit. When the practical
bility of the movement has been thus
manifested, the mayor and commercial
organizations will unite In a call for a
public meeting to organize an associa-
ton.
President Moore of the National
Good Roads association says OF the
project: .
"The south can have good roads If It
will. and the sooner the citizens get to-
getter and work along some well or
ganlzed and practical line these results
will be reached the quicker. There 10
nothing that will do more to increase
I the value Of virgin lands and advance
the DEVELOPMENT of the rural districts
than we'll constructed public roads.
The Improvement Of the road system
will have a wonderful effect upon slim
ulating the settlement Of people on
farms, and as these settlements are De-
Ing made SO will the value Of the land
Increase. =
wherever a city or town Is found
| possessing we'll made roadways lead
ing therefrom you will find the BUSH
ness Of that point Is In a prosperous
condition. Therefore the citizens OF
every town in the south will be pro-
noting their OWE interests If they give
this movement their moral and II nee
essary financial support
at Is hoped that every state, county,
city and town officer will give this SUBJ
feet of better roads serious considera-
ton and then take the matter IN hand
Immediately and show his constituents
that the movement for better roads
will receive his utmost consideration
and utmost cooperation.
ut is universally decided that good
roads are what we want In order to
secure them we must pull together,
working Systematically and on practi'
cal lines. This grand tour, planned BY
the Southern Railway company, Is a
signal for action. If the states visit
ed are not alive to this and do not avail
themselves of the opportunity to secure
information rendered by the good roads
special train. no Il will be at faul,
except the citizens of the states IN
which the exhibits are made"
