OUR POPULATION 1862 SOULS
Excepting Wenatchee, More Than Twice
as Large as Any Other Town
in the County

With territory less than one mile
square, Leavenworth has a population
of 1862, says M. P. Spencer, who has
just completed an enumeration.
Wenatchee has 3,075 and Cashmere,
which is probably third in population
has 533. The above enumeration is
the population within the corporate
limits.
There are two other towns of consid-
cradle size in the county, Chelan and
Lakeside, the former incorporated, but
the enumeration of these places has
not yet been completed. Enough is
known upon which the population of
the county may be put at $4,000.
In 1900 the population of Wenat-
chez was $50 and Leavenworth approx
imately $50. Since 1900 the taxable
wealth of the county has more than
quadrupled.

M. E. Church Notes

The pastor and Mrs. Rumohr enter
tanned Miss Peterson's class at the par
sonage last Wednesday night. This
was farewell to Miss Peterson as she
has decided to spend the summer on
the coast. We are sorry to lose her as
she has been a most efficient and faith
full worker and has endeared herself to
the boys of her class. We hope when
she has regained her health to have hei
back again with US. AS a token of ap
probation her class presented her with
beautiful pin.
Regular services as usual in Fraterna
hall next Sunday. At the morning
service the pastor will continue the re-
port of the general conference.

NO RACE SUICIDE THERE
Storsls, Red Apples and Roosevelt-A Stork
for Every Apple

According to the Wenatchee World
of Monday last the town is alive with
storks. They are actually pushing each
other off the housetops. Some of them
are so tame they set on the doorstep.
Here is what friend Wood, our es-
teemed fellow-laborer in the cause by
which the president lays great store,
has to say on the absorbing subject:
According to estimates made by
the local physicians the stork is to be
a busy old bird within the next few
weeks in the Wenatchee valley. Sew
eral have already caught sight of him
and he is now gradually lowering to
the places he has upon his order book.
From the reports, it is estimated that
he has no less than twenty orders for
early delivery this summer. Among
them are some of the most prominent
families in the community.
This whole stork business grows out
OF the sending of a few boxes of those
famous red Wenatchee apples to Mr..
Roosevelt a few months ago. Now
there is a possibility that Wenatchee
may become even more famous for
storks and stork business than red ap-
Piles. In the upper end of the Wenat-
chez valley the report became current
that a whole flock OF storks were circling
round the home Of Brother Wood. We
are quite sure there is no foundation
for the report and can say, like John
Howard Paine, he has no home, and
but therel We are not on the witness
stand and do not propose to volunteer
testimony.

ROMANCE IN REAL LIFE
fiatmaker Gets Here Just in Time to Win
Gin of His Choice

In connection with the marriage ol
Miss Ona Stephens and William Hat
maker at Wenatchee last Monday there
is quite romantic story. The story
as it appeared in the Wenatchee and
Spokane papers is not exactly correct.
All the parties to the play came from
Tennessee two years ago last April, to-
gether with four or five families, the
male members of which were employed
in the Kelly & Lapp sawmill in the
Chumstick valley. When the sawmill
firm failed eighteen months ago the
families moved to town and are at the
present time located just beyond the
Lamb Davis mill, and form what is
known as the Tennessee colony. That
there was an attachment between Hat
maker and Miss Stephens before that
gentleman departed for the Sound coun-
try over a year ago was known to their
mutual friends, and that there was also
an estrangement was equally well
known. Last week Clarence B. Myn-
ders, who, by the way, is highly spoken
of, and also a member OF the colony,
procured a license and was to have
been married on Sunday afternoon, and
had the eastbound train been a few
hours behind time probably Miss Ste
phens would now be Mrs. Mynders in
stead of Mrs. Hatmaker. The train,
however, reached here on time and
meeting Mr.. Hatmaker Miss Stephens
declared the marriage off between her
self and Mynders, and took the train
for Wenatchee Monday morning when
another license was procured and at 10
clock Monday at the Chewawa hotel,
Judge Palmer officiating, Miss Stephens
was united to the man of her choice.
That Mr.. Mynders knew before the
parties left for Wenatchee aLd gave his
consent, suuendering the license, was
known to DR.. Shore, who told the edi-
tor of The Echo on Sunday that Myn-
ders had informed him that the matter
between himself and the girl he was to
be married to was all off,
If the outcome of the affair has left
some sore spots time will heal them as
it has healed others of a similar nature.
To the young people, who we have
not the pleasure of knowing, but trust
they are happily mated, we extend
congratulations and our best wishes for
their future happiness.

An Endorsement from the Hoosier State

An Endorsement from the hoosier State
The following is an extract from a
letter recently printed in the Waitsburg
Times, written by an old friend from
Indiana, the birthplace of Mr.. Cos
grove. It is a warm endorsement of
his candidacy for governor:
Il am greatly interested in the can
didacy of Mr.. S. G. Cosgove for gov
ernor Of the state of Washington.
First because I believe in the man,
and tho not a resident, my interests
are there. I know Mr.. Cosgrove per-
sonally and know him to be level
headed capable man, who would make
the great state Of Washington an ideal
governor. Mr.. Cosgrove is not stranger
to the people of Washington but has
been one OF the states leading attorneys
for many years. If am not mistaken
the place to study mans character
and fitness for any Office high or low,
is in his own home. came to know
Mr.. Cosgrove first in his home. His
home life is perhaps as near ideal as is
possible to be attained. The American
people will make no mistake in select
ing men for state or national Office whose
home life is what it ought to be.
The man who builds and maintains
for himself and family the right kind oi
home, and has capability will make
the safest executive to be entrusted
with the interests of the homes of the
state or nation.

VIII Sue Western Union.

Two mental anguish suits have
been instituted against the West
ern Union Telegraph company
and the lease will be tried as
soon as they can be placed on the
congested docket and reached.
They arise out of non-delivery
of messages relating to illness
and death of Mrs. z. N. Sykes
and the first is brought by Mr..
Sykes. the second by a nephew
of Mrs. ISykes to whom the mes
sages were sent.
On December 6, Of 1907, Mr..
Sykes sent a telegram to Mr.. C..
P. Gates at Haw River apprising
him Of the desperate illness of
Mrs. Sykes. The message was
addressed to him because he is a
well known merchant, though
che deceased had two sisters
there who were as greatly inter-
ested. II was sent, 50 the COM

missed them and Mrs. Sykes
died next day, Dec. z, at 1:20
in the morning. The message
was wired again in time to allow
them TO get to Durham but there
was delay again. The messages
were never delivered and by the
merest accident the two sisters
learned of Mrs. Sykes death
driving fifteen miles through the
country after she had been bur.
led. Both Messrs. Sykes and
Gates will ask for verdicts. the
two aggregating about $1,000.
