Willie the ten year old son of George
Brown, who received 1900 volts of
electricity thru his body last week, is
now on the road to recovery. For a
few days it was a question as to his
being able to survive the shock. The
greatest difficulty was with the boys
heart. His heart was affected and for
three or four hours his pulsation was
2C0 beats per minute. The chances
are good now for his entire recovery
with the use of both arms and both
hands. 1t is possible that one finger
may be stiffened but other wise he
will come out whole Wenatchee

EMPLOYEES MUST BE POLITE
Bulletin to Railroad Men

The following bulletin was recently
addressed to the employees Of the
Great Northern railway. II applies
with equal force TO everyone occupying
public place;
This company considers that its
agents, Conductors and other represent
atives possess the faculty of being
courteous to the public above the av-
erage. To those who cultivate and
exercise this faculty the company ex-
tends its congratulations, and its thanks;
to those who may not have fully ap-
preciated its importance thoughtful
consideration of the following is sug-
gested: The principle that underlies
courteous treatment Of others is simply
that OF doing unto others as you would
they should do unto you. In highly
complex and technical business such
as that of the railroad, there are many
things that you, with your training and
daily experience understand with per
feet familiarity, but which the public
do not understand; therefore, do not
assume that the public should compre-
hend them without asking questions,
but when they make inquiry of you
give them the courtesy OF a reply just
as full and as clear as you can make it,
and without the suggestion Of the sup
eriority born of a greater knowledge.
Words are only one means of ex-
preston, and manner is quite as i'm
portant; therefore, remember that
kindly and gracious manner is not only
the sign and mark of a self-respecting
man, but is to your words what oil is
to machinery, in making them move
effectively to their purpose, true cour-
tesy is no respecter Of persons. It re
members that a mans a man for a
that and gives the civil word and the
helping hand quite as readily to the
ill-clad stranger as to an official of the
company.
Courtesy is not only something the
public has a right to expect of you, but
it pays. 1t pays in the friends it makes
you personally, and as representative
Of the company. 1t pays in minimizing
the friction of your life, as well as that
between the company and its patrons.
1t pays in raising your standing with
the company. 1t pays in the personal
satisfaction resulting from having done
the right and kindly thing"

INTERESTING STATE NEWS
A Move to Protect AgncuIturiSts by Pro-
hibitng the Sale of Old Seeds

Probably no man in the state has
seen so many people during the past
few months as S. G. Cosgrove Of Pom
eroy, who in his quest for votes for the
republican nomination for governor has
been on an energetic trot around the
state. l enticed him away from a
bunch of old soldiers at North Yakima
last week and implored him to stop
talking politics long enough to tell me
how things looked in the state gener-
ally. He plunged into agriculture:
There will be short straw on wheat
and barley this season." he said, but
if We have a rain within the next two
weeks the straw will lengthen nicely.
The grain promises to head out about
as usual, but il will depend on the
weather. 1t looks as if the season will
be satisfactory anyway but with the
proper amount of moisture we would
have bumper crops in everything"

If you don't like everything you see
in your home paper, 60 around the
streets and howl. The editor is never
supposed to make a mistake and can
not do so, other people can, but the
editor is ubiquitous, omnipotent, omni-
present, omniscient, omniverous. If
you can't see a good point, don't fail
to see a bad one. If a thousand
pleasant things are said of people,
hunt for something unpleasant. If
you don't find it, howl some more; if
you do, howl anyway. Never mind
your own business; watch for some
thing to find fault with in some other
mans business, this will make you
great. at.-Cashmere Record.

At the next session of the state leg
islature there will be offered for enact
ment law which to my way Of think
ing should receive the hearty endorse
ment of everyone. 1t will seek to
regulate the sale of seed in the state.
At present the buyer Of seed has ab-
solutely no protection or any assurance
that the seed is fresh. The stock left
over from one season can be offered
for sale the next without legal hin
drance. A seed inspection law has
been passed in some states with the
result that the increase in productivity
of the soil was marked. Seed inspec-
ton could be carried on in this state
with practically no cost as professors at
the agricultural college at Pullman
could do the work in their laboratories
with but little assistance.

OPENING THE OVERLAND GRILL
Messrs. Van Bebber & Huff Open a first
Class Dining Room.

The Overland Grill was opened to

Bebber and Huff, two experienced and
capable caterers and restaurant men.
That first class, well conducted place
of this kind is appreciated and will be
generously patronized by the people
of Leavenworth has been abundantly
proved by the way the Overland Grill
has been crowded day and night since
the opening.

The golden stream has started from
the north. Already $5,000,000 in
virgin gold has been brought down
from Alaska. That amount arrived in
Seattle during June and represents the
cleanup during May. 1t is estimated
that no less than $30,000,000 will be
received in Seattle before the gold ship
ments cease in the fall. When you
stop to think what the effect OF being
the first stopping place from such a
vast amount Of money has on city you
can realize what Alaska means to Seattle
and the state of Washington.

Frank Haynes, Of Coulee city, lost
a valuable horse last Monday in a
peculiar manner. He was tied to a
hitching post in front of the hotel
when Mr. Yancey and Mr.. Hummer
came by in an automobile on their
way TO Spokane. They stopped and
one Of them entered the hotel. The
sight of the auto seemed to frighten
the horse and Frank stepped to his
head to pacify him. The horse seemed
to trembe with fear and at once sank
down, dying instantly, supposedly from
fright. Waterville Press.

The eye, ear and nose specialists Of
Seattle have taken a step that is pub
lie spirited in the extreme. They
agree to treat free all children whose
parents cannot afford to pay for the
services. Parents who can make small
payments will be given reduced rates.
This is kind of philanth. 51y that
counts. Precautions will be taken to
assure kind hearted doctors from being
victimized by people who can afford to
pay for treatment. The applicants for
free medical attention must have a
certificate from the secretary Of the
Charity Organization Society.

The affairs OF the Wenatchee div
ision of the National Forest will in the
future be transacted from this place.
For the past two years the Office has
been located in Wenatchee but finding
that work in connection with the
national forest could be transacted more
conveniently and promptly from this
place the removal was made this week.
The Lamb-Davis Lumber Co. put up
convenient and suitable building for
this purpose on Commercial street op-
posite the Congregational church.
Forest supervisor E. H. Sylvester, an
experienced and trained forest expert
will be in charge of this division Of the
national forest, having succeeded c. H.
Flory, who has been transferred 10
Bellingham.
Mr.. Sylvester will occupy the house
recently vacated by Joseph Jackson.
There will be connected with the Office
a number of forest rangers who, during
the summer, will make frequent excur-
sions into the mountains, watching fires
and reporting violations Of the rules
relating to the use of the forest by
stock men and others. Trails thru the
forest, begun last year, will be extended
and new ones laid out.

amount OF politics talked as most en-

refought. The old soldiers consider
they have strong ticket in the field

c. Austin for lieutenant governor. A
test of what strength the G. A. R. can

by those two conventions in their
method of procedure, should there be
any doubt as to which should have
the endorsement Of fair-minded men?
With such a sharp contrast between
star chamber proceedings upon the
one side and the open and above
hoard square-dealing upon the other,
ought there be the slightest question
as to which could be and will be rep
resentative of the will of the party in
Davidson County? With such a dis
similarity between the method Of
bringing in the names of all the dele
gates, platform and other conventions
al proceedings in typewriter form
as it is claimed was done by the boss
OF the committee-named convention
and the free expression to be vouch-
safed the members of the party in the
coming convention, need any voter
hesitate as to which is the true, regu-
lar, square-deal convention? The voice
Of the rank and file was not heard in
the cOmmittee-named convention, but
it will be heard and, we think, in no
unmistakable terms on the fifteenth

The Negroes of Nashville should be
proud of the efforts put forth by the
promoters in preparing a place be-
yond the noise and heat of the
crowded city where they can spend
many delightful Sunday afternoons

have been lack of appreciation on
the part of some who came Sunday in
buggies and thoughtlessly tied their
horses to the young trees, injuring
the bark and the roots. The colored
people Of Nashville are considered to
be intelligent and if we are intelli-
