Peshastin,s New Hall Opened

The ]. Q. Gilbert building at Pc
shastin was recently completed, and
the hall over the store room was opened
with ball and supper last Friday night.
Forty odd couples were present, at
least twenty OF whom were Leavenworth
people, some taking the afternoon train
and others going down by private con
veyance. McDaniePs orchestra made
the music. Mrs. d. Mccoy prepared
the supper, and served it in the store
room, which is as yet unoccupied, and
a tasty and delicious supper it was.
Mr.. Gilbert has shown considerable
enterprise in furnishing this embriotic
city with such large and well finished
hall for public meetings.

Lighting Question Comes Up Again

The lighting question vii come be-
fore the council again at the next reg
ular meeting. Councilmen Wheeler and
r. T. King circulated a petition the
past week fayoring accepting the propo-
sition Of the lighting company. The
petition is signed by many Of the
heaviest taxpayers, and may exert
enough influence on the council TO
secure the acceptance Of the contract.
From such information as We are able
to get next to, not one Of the members
Of the council is opposed 10 lighting
the town. Some Of them believe the
rate is too high; a majority are opposed
to tying the town up for FIVE years,
with the possibility that the light com
pany may, under the average five
year" clause, extend the contract in
definitely, claiming that every provision
Of the proposed contract is in the in
terest OF the company, which reserves
the right to terminate the contract at
its own option, but does not give the
town the same right.
Councilman Woldenberg says that
under the contract the town has but
one right, and that is to pay regularly
for at least five years, and possibly ten
or twenty years.
Whether the petition to be presented
at the next meeting will overcome the
objections Of enough members to secure
the adoption OF the contract as it now
stands, it being understood that the
lighting company will make changes,
remains TO be seen.

Mason cRttk LAND N DEMAND
First Twenty Traots Sold in Less than Two
Weeis-More to Be Sold

Three weeks ago 2. A. Reynolds
advertised in this publication the sale
Of twenty fve-acre tracts Of land adjoin-
ing Mason Creek siding, on the Great
Northern railway, some eighteen miles
west Of Leayenworth. These offerings
proved so tempting that they were sold
in less than two weeks. Twelve were
sold the first week. Every man who
visited and inspected the land found il
50 much better than he expected, OF
than had been represented, that few
went away without buying. AL the
land went TO Leayenworth, Cashmere
and Wenatchee parties. Ii is much
easier to interest an old timer in Wen
atchee valley land than new conner.
The old timer also remembers how
land advanced in a year or two from
few dollars per acre TO thousand and
even fifteen hundred dollars, and he
viii often buy for speculation where a
new conner hesitates to buy for imme-
diate use.
Mr.. Reynolds, who was here the first
Of the week, is considering the advisa-
bility OF putting another lot Of acreage
tracts on the market al an early date.
Prices will doubtless be higher, though.

A Correction and a Story

Through an oversight an error was
made in the big advertisement OF the
Hub Clothing store. Under the head
Of Hat Values" 50 hat is priced at
S1.45, whereas the sale price is 81. As.
With the utmost care that can be exer-
cised in well regulated printing office,
errors will creep in. When it is stated
that in this one advertisement there
are about 5000 pieces of metal, each
and every one OF which must be handled
twice, every piece consuming each time
the fractional part OF one minute OF time
in handling, our readers will have some
idea OF the great care required to keep
out errors. The substitution OF small
figure for 3 made difference OF 81.
Many years ago Philadelphia pub
fishing house got out handsome
edition Of the Bible, and so great was
the care taken to keep out errors, and
so sure were the publishers that they
had gotten out book without an error,
that they offered $1,000 to the person
who could point out an error in the
printing. Strange to say an error was
found on the title page-the very first
page OF the book.

Tom Nye Does Some Shooting

Tom Nye was aroused from his
peaceful slumbers last Monday along
toward the hour Of midnight by some
one tapping on the window, evidently
trying to gain entrance. Mr.. Nye
Immediately got his gun and went out
after the gentleman. Going around
the opposite side Of the house he dis
covered the prowler and Immediately
opened fire. The lurker lost no time
in making his getaway down the hill
toward the w. V. & N. railroad tracks,
whereupon Mr.. Nye poked FIVE more
lead pills at him. Tom says he is
quite sure that some Of his shots hit
the mark as he heard the man groan
as he was making his escape, but fur
Their search failed to reveal any sign of
the prowler.
The police were notified shortly
after the affair, but no further devel-
opments have been uncovered.

A Sermon in a Nutshell

To live content with small means; to
seek elegance rather than luxury, and
refinement rather than fashion; 10 be
worthy, not respectable, and wealthy
not rich; to study hard, think quietly,
talk gently, act frankly; to listen to
stars and birds, babes and sages, with
open heart; to hear all cheerfully, do
all brayely, await occasions, hurry
never; in word, to let the spiritual,
unbidden and unconscious, grow up
through the common. This is to be
my symphony.-Wm. Henry Charming.

LIMIT AUTO SPEED.

Automobiles are to be kept within
speed limits-if the owners desire. An
inventor has q new scheme. 1t is in
the form of an automatic clutch at
tachment. 1t is set at the speed limit
permitted by the authorities. II the
driver attempts to exceed the limit, this
new-fangled contrivance-in full fear
of the law-throws kirk into things
and puts on a brake, which reduces
the speed.
The invention is SO construed that
its owners can set 1t at any point de-
sired and lock the attachment SO the
chauffeur cannot exceed the speed limit
that the city ordinance permits.
Such a device would initiate against
10Y" rides-and other offenses of that
nature. At the same time it would be
a great safeguard for autoists. a pro-
lection against damage suits and a
guarantee Of the observance Of the city
ordinances.

ORGANIZED CHARITIES.

Fargoans are becoming interested
in the charitable efforts Of certain resi-
dents. For some months the work has
been carried on in the best manner
possible under the present conditions.
In October there was a meeting at
which several addresses were made and
the first real efforts at organization
were begun.
Tomorrow night there is to be anoth-
er meeting in the commercial club
rooms. Among the speakers will be
President McVey of the North Dakota
university, for years associated with
the work in Minneapolis. Secretary
Lies Of the Associated Charities of Min
neapolis viii be another speaker
These men are recognized authorities
on this important question and will be
able to give Fargoans a great deal Of
interesting and useful information.
Fargo, Of itself, has as little desti-
tuition as any other place this size, but
It is forced to pay the penalty Of being
the largest city in the state by having
many INDECENT cases thrust upon It,
Destitute women and children bob up
here from all over the northwest. Their
dire distress must be relieved.
1t is unfair that this great burden
should be borne by few. 1t is big
movement and the cooperation of
every public spirited citizen is needed.
No one win be asked to contribute any
more than they can afford. It is an OBJ
portunity for all to assist in a noble
work and those with liberal means can
accomplish much more than those who
are unable financially to carry out the
good impulses OF their hearts.
Rev. o. q. Mccracken is doing a
splendid work as far as he is able. He

FURNITURE ADVANCES.

Your beds and chairs win cost more
in the future-especially If you want
a little oak or mahogany finish to them.
Manufacturers attribute the advance to
the increasing cost of raw materials
and the boost in wages.
Mahogany has advanced rapidly since
July because Of the curtailment in the
supply and the increasing demand. Oak
is almost as bad. Mirror plates are to
cost more. The glass manufacturers
and importers won't renew contracts
at the old price and even furniture
hardware is coming higher.
Following the iron and brass bed
steads will come the steel chairs,
metal tables, steel plate chifnoniers and
other articles, painted to suit the fancy
In mahogany, oak and other finishes.
