Joseph Jackson

Since the summer of 1905 Joseph
Jackson has been at the head of the
sales department of the Lamb-Davis
Lumber Co. He came from Minneap-
oils, Mimi, and had been for years
connected with the lumber trade.
While others are making lumber, it is
his occupation to find market for the
mill product. With the aid of a stenog-
rapher, Miss Sadie Skirving, he man.

M. F. Peake

Mr.. Peake came to this town in the
spring Of 1895, and started the first
backyard, in company with Mr. Ed. J..
Carey. They made the brick and did
all the brick work on the Lamb-Davis
mill, which at that time was being
built. Then Mr.. Carey sold out to F.
R. Peake, and since that time the firm
has been known as M. F. Peake &
Son. They have also been engaged
in the building business until last
spring, when they opened real estate
business here. They have lately sold
out the backyard to Mr.. Gutherless Of
Seattle, who will open up a fine yard.
Peake & Son will make Leavenworth
their home, and will conduct their real
estate business and will make a spec
ialty of mining and timber. They own
at present a fine vein and a placer
mine, also a graphite prospect which
though undeveloped is fine prospect.

F. L. Brender, RanCher.

F. L. Brender, rancher, came to
this country from Eudora, Kan, early
in 1901, and settled in the Chumstick
valley, on the place he still occupies,
8 miles from Leavenworth. He
reached here with four sturdy boys and
a pair of faithful horses, and had his first
experience of ranch life. When he
took possession of his place there were
five acres of alfalfa, the rest of the
land was covered with a dense growth
of brush. He first built rough board
cabin, which he occupied for four
years. At present he has large,
modern residence, with every convent
ence, though it is not entirely finished
yet. He soon started a dairy, and
found a ready market for his butter.
The business grew, until at present he
has one of the best-equipped diaries in
the county, with large weekly output
the year round. He has large or
chard planted, which will come into
bearing in few years and yield COM

The M. E. Church

Rev. NJ. Rumohr, pastor. This
church was organized March IS, 1907,
with fifteen members. Services were
held as preachers could be secured for
the next three months. In June Rev.
M. Rumohr came from Evanston, ILL.,,
to assume the pastorate. Steady prog
ress has marked the life of the young
church. The membership now num-
bers 80. The Sunday school has had
an average attendance during the last
three months OF 48. An Epworth
League and Ladies' Aid Society are eff
fective agencies of the church. The
church services are held in Fraternity
Hall, but it is hoped that at least a
temporary church building can be
erected next summer.

The Lamb-DaVis Lumber
Company.

In the development of the natural
resources of the west end Of Chelan
county, the people who compose the
Lamb-Davis Lumber Co. have had a
very prominent part. It is doubtful il
we all fully realize the advantage Of the
coming of this company. In 1901
the population, all told, was not over
$50, and not brick building in the
town. Today we have population APP
proximating 1900, with nine substan-
tial brick buildings, three of them Of
large size.
We also owe our electric light and
water system to these same people.
The Lamb-Davis Lumber Co., with its
allied industries, employs for eight or
nine months of the year over three hun
dred people, and during the balance Of
the time over 100. Excepting the
Great Northern railway company 1t is
away and beyond the heaviest taxpayer
in the county, its holdings very closely
approximating a million dollars.
The company owns thousands of acres
of as fine land as ever crow flew over,
which, when the timber is cleared off,
will be put on the market for agricultural
purposes. Much of this land lies in
river bottom, and is capable Of irrigation
at an inconsiderable expense.
Below we make brief mention OF some
OF the men who are devoting their best
efforts to promoting the interest of the
company:

The Congregational Church.

The Congregational church society
here dates its organization back to the
earliest beginning Of Leavenworth. 1t
was organized November, 1898, with a
a small membership, but with the en-
ergy and determination that succeeds.
During its subsequent history it suf-
fered all the inconvenience attending
new community with an ever-shifting
population. Its entire membership
has been 88, with a Sunday school Of
over 100, hourishing and energetic
Ladies Society, and Young People
organization. The church is now act
i've in all its branches. Rev. Chas. F.
Bloomquist is the pastor.

The King Co.

R. T. King, manager Of the King
Co. is one OF the hustling young bust
ness man of our town. The company
of which he is the manager does a
thriving trade, and has always borne
an enviable reputation for square deal
ing.
The latter part of the summer Mr..
King was married to en- estimable lady
of Seattle. At the city election in
December he was elected a member
of the town council receiving the
highest vote cast at the election. He
has business ideals, and lives up to
them. Believes firmly in the efficacy
of printers ink as a getter of business.

Our Public School Building

The half-tone cut Of our new public
school building, which was ordered
made for use in this issue, failed to
reach US. We are all proud of the
building, which was completed in Oc-

It is handsome and substantial brick
structure, has eight large rooms, and is
supplied with every convenience.
Thorough ventilation was one Of the

DR.. q. w. HOxsey

1t is no exaggeration to say that DR..
G. w. Hoxsey is the most widely
known man in the community. He
came to Leavenworth in. 1891, as the
medical representative of the Great
Northern. He enjoys very large
practice. To accommodate his pa
tients, and in order to keep Leaven-
worth up-to-date, he built private
hospital, two years ago. It is a rare
occasion when there are not from two
to dozen patients under treatment.

j. J. King, AttOrney.at.Law and
Notary Public.

" Judge King" as he is Familiarity
called, and who actually earned that
title, has had long practice and expe-
rience both in the courts and in the
government departments, especially in
the land Office.
In short, when he attended college,
he acquired much useful knowledge,
which now doth serve him well, be-
cause he,hath advice to sell; and when
he has a client he's not so very plant,
for if the case involves a right, he is
ready for fight, and if the case in
wolves a doubt, and his client don't
win out, perhaps he won't let go, but
he'll say, " I told you so, and then
he'll take another tack, and so avoid
the beaten track, in order to get an
other whack at his opponent in the
rear, for no foeman does he fear, whe-
ther armed with sword or spear (unless
he gets too near). In the law he's
right we'll grounded, and so he never
gets confounded; and with his cases
we'll in hand he will always take a
stand from which to view where he will

Sometimes he's for the plaintiff, and
sometimes for defendant; but as to
which he's for is generally dependent
on which consults him first, and agrees
to slake his thirst with a bigger pile of
lucre than the other fellow he's to

If the case is one for spite, the
Judge will tell him It's not right; then,
if his clients still inclined, and has
made up his mind, and his Golfers are

will agree to take his case, and to set
a lively pace for the fellows in the race,
and with retainer in his pocket and the
case is on the docket, he's alert in
every fiber, and he'll lay for the briber,
who would dare invoke his fury, by
tampering with the jury, but when his
case is fairly tried (if he thinks no one
has lied). If he should get it in the
neck, he'll not get up and treck; or, if
he gets the worst, he will not swell up
and burst. But meekly he'll rely on
the rules that do apply, to get another
hearing, never doubling, never fearing,
that with the necessary plugging, and
little extra smuggling, he can make
better showing (if his client don't 60
