ROTTEN TELEPHONE SERVICE
The People of CheIan Resolved to Cut 1t
Out Ought to Do the Same
Thing Here

When the manager of the local tel
ephone office called on the patrons
this week to collect the rental charge
for the coming month, every business
man refused to pay and ordered his
phone taken out.
This was done in accordance with
the suggestion Of the Chelan CONNER
cial club, which organization discussed
the telephone situation at its meeting
on Wednesday evening and decided TO
recommend such action on the part of
business men and other patrons.
The service given by the Pacific
States company has been unsatisfactory
for long time past, in fact it has been
but little better than no service at all,
and local patrons have grown heartily
tired Of paying out their money and
receiving nothing in return.
Three months or more ago the com
pany, in response to demands made by
the Chelan commercial club and by
individual patrons, promised to imme
diately put the system into satisfactory
working order, to employ two operators
in the central office and to extend the
hours Of service. During all this time
since the promise was made the
patrons have been patiently waiting for
the company to make good. Its ne
glect to do so will no longer be toler-
ated.
Local business men have made up
their minds iTevocably that the pres
ent and past conditions shall not longer
continue; that the company must either
give satisfactory service or abandon the
field. ."-Chelan Leader.
The condition complained OF in
Chelan has always prevailed right here
in Leavenworth, The Pacific States
Telephone Co., supplies the service
here, and il is abominable. If the
patrons here would follow the course
of the people Of Chelan and resolve to
notify the company in body that they
would not longer accept the service;
the action would result In getting an
improved service or in some other
company occupying the field.

Thus it is seen that persons who
have children Of the age indicated in
the act who are not in school, are now
liable to arrest and prosecution.
WANTED-A new piano for the
school. This is the cry we hear from
different parents and patrons of the
town. Will you help in any way you
can to push the idea? No up-to-date
school is without a piano installed.
This is one means of helping to make
this one Of the best schools in the
state.

One of the most important matters
that was initiated by the city council
at the meeting Tuesday night was that
Of presenting to the state railway COM
mission the condition of the Great
Northern depot at this place. The
council at different times has petition
ed the railway company to put in a
toilet and other conveniences here, but
the appeal has been fruitless and now
different tactics are to be employed.
The city attorney was instructed to
correspond with the state commission
and see if the company cannot be
compelled to put in toilet at the de-
pot. The fire and light committee
was instructed to investigate the matter
Of installing arc lights on the street in
stead OF the ones now in use. 1t IS
understood that the additional expense
would not aggregate over 500 per
month, and the committee was in
structed to have 20 arc lights installed
if the cost would not be too much.
This will certainly give the streets a
much better appearance at night

Geo. Ingham and Charley Northup
left at our office the past week samples
of onions that were grown from the
seed. Mr.. Ingham's place is at the
head OF the Icicle valley. The onions
harvested this fall by Mr.. Ingham were
grown from seed sown last spring.
They average fully third OF a pound
each. Mr.. Northup's success with
onions grown in the Chumstick valley
was satisfactory both as to yield and
quality. We call attention to these
matters for the benefit of those who
might want to engage in the oc-
cupation and profit by the experience
of others. The market for onions is
rarely overstocked and anyone wishing
to engage in growing onions for the
market can rest assured OF success.
They will grow as large here and with
as great a degree Of certainty as any
where in the United States.

SCHOOL NOTES

Marie De Foe withdrew from school
on account OF leaving town.
Pupils OF the seventh and eighth
grades are progressing nicely. They
are doing much better work now than
when they started.
Rose Goerger was transferred from
Miss Nayarre's room TO Mrs. Farmers
room.
Hidekichi Kobayashi, a Japanese
boy, entered the fourth grade Wednes-
day.
Irma and Genevieve Lamb, and
Sylvia Davey entered the forth grade,
and Howard Bloom the third grade,
Monday.
Frank Bryant, James Lamb and
Harriet Hathaway took up their work
in the ninth grade this week. Let the
good work go on, but if you are count
ing on entering the High school and
doing all OF the work, NOW is the
time to begin.
Homer Vest entered the first grade
and Mamie Davey the second grade
Wednesday.
We are glad TO see that so many are
getting started in their school work.
In fact it is time that all who are Of
school age were in school. Not only
is this true from the standpoint OF the
pupil doing his work most satisfactorily
but also from the standpoint OF the
compulsory school law now in force in
this state. All OF the parents who have
children whose ages range between 8
and IS and who are not in school, have
been notified by the attendance officer.
Thus they cannot plead ignorance OF
the law. The law is very definite in
regard to attendance. We quote in
part as follows:
Section /. All parents, guardians,
and other persons in this state having
immediate custody of any child be-
tween eight and fifteen years OF age
shall cause such child to attend the
public school of the district in which
the child resides for the full time which
such school may be in session, or shall
attend private school for the same
time, unless the child is physically or
mentally unable to attend school, or
has been excused from such attendance
for some other sufficient reason, by the
the superintendent Of the schools.
Section D. No child under the age
of fifteen years shall be employed for
any purpose by any corporation, per
son or association of persons in lhis
state during the hours which the public
schools in which such child resides are
in session, unless such child shall pre-
sent a certificate from the school
superintendent as provided for in the
first section Of this act.
Section 3. Any person violating any
of the provisions of either OF the two
proceeding sections shall be fined not
more than twenty-five dollars.

Why does not some one in this
vicinity take up the cultivation Of
caulifowers? We have in the past
called attention to the fact that this
most appetising vegetable will grow
here to a degree Of perfection not
reached anywhere else. Caulihower can
be grown here almost as easily as cab
bage and will always bring about four
times as much per pound. Max

Resigns as Pastor.
Rev. J. H. Henderlite, Pastor Of

Resigns After Service of Five
Years Accepts Call to Church
in Fredericksburg, Va.

Rev J. H. Henderlite has resigned
as pastor Of the Henderson Presby-
terrain church to accept il call to the
church in Fredericksburg, Va. A broad
er field and enlarged opportunities
for service were the considerations
which led Mr.. Henderlite to decide
upon the change. From a money
consideration the church does not
pay as much as the one he is leaving

tor was reluctantly accepted and

has existed between Rev. j. H. Hen-

Mr. Henderlite will preach next
Sunday and will then go with his
family to Montreal to stay awhile
taking his usual summer vacation to
rest and recuperate before entering
upon his new field of work about the
middle OF August.
There is great and widespread re-
gret that Mr.. Henderlite is going to
leave Henderson, He is greatly be-
loved and extremely popular, nor is
the affectionate regard and esteem
in which he is held confined to his
own congregation by any means. A
useful and valuable citizen his de-
parture will be distinct loss to the
town and community.
And his excellent wife, equally be-
o7ed and as useful in her sphere OF
life in the church and society, will
leave vacancy quite as hard to fill.
