THE WELLS

All wells In the city at points
where city water Is available will
be condemned after 80 days and put
out of business.
This was the decision Of the
board Of health at. the meeting held
this afternoon. The wells are re-
garded as dangerous and several Of
them have been found In the past
to contain typhoid fever. The

there was no reason for well water

MONEY SAVED
ON THE COURTS
There Are Two Less Positions
in the Judiciary
Department.

The "late lamented'' Legislature sue
ceeded in making some material re-
auctions in the appropriation for the
Judiciary Department, the net saving
being $4,000 The greater portion of
this amount, $4,000, is effected
through the abandonment of the Court
of Land Registration and the trans
fer of it's duties to the circuit courts.
In the clerical department of the
Circuit Court saving of $1,000 year
is affected. The position held by Les
lie Scott is abolished at $3.50 per
month, one stenographer is dispensed
with at $125 per month, and the sal
airy of Henry Smith, clerk of the Jul
dietary Department, is reduced from
1925 to $500 per month.
To meet this reduction the Legisla-
ture provided two clerks and office
assistants" at $500 per month, leaving
the net saving under the new appro-
priation of $500 per month.
Reduction in Expenses.
The general expense appropriation
for the uses of the Circuit Court has
been reduced to $4,000, and it was
only by overriding the Cox ernors veto
that the Legislature succeeded in pre-
venting the office of assistant clerk
and bailiff in the circuit courts from
being abolished.
The only increase in salaries that
the Legislature saw fit to grant was
an increase in the pay of three of the
Interpreters from $500 to s125 per
month.
The Judiciary building must con-
tinue to leak and tremble for another
two years. The $4,000 appropria ton
for the rehabilitation OF the structure,
which was inserted in the loan bill.
went to an untimely end in the Senate
and there is no money available to
patch up the structure. That it is in
desperate need of attention and a gen
erai overhauling was admitted even
by the Ways and Means Committee of
the Senate

as much as possible. There was not
time enough to go over all the seized
ules, and accordingly the committee
when it did not have the time to ex
anime any particular subject of con-
troversy, put the Dingley rates in the

Some members of the committee have
been interested in the pineapples duty
since the bill has been reported to the
Senate and, have promised to bring
about some relief for the Hawaiian
growers.
There Is considerable talk from time
to time about an upheaval in the rates
for sugar in the pending bill. The
beet sugar men have representatives
hard at work in Washington and have
been asking for higher rate upon
the raw product. There is little or
no prospect that they will succeed,
although probably there will be a
movement to that end in the Senate
before the consideration of the bill is
completed there. The beet sugar men
have control of the Western market,
because Of the protection which
fright rates afford them, but they
want to dominate the market of the
entire country, especially the market
on the Atlantic Coast.
This ambitious program would af-
feet the situation with reference to
Cuban sugar. The raw product from
Cuba comes almost entirely to the
United States. There is little demand
in Europe for Cuban sugar, as Eu-
rope gets her supply largely from
beets. But higher tariff on raw
sugar would eventually exclude Cuban
sugar. and, with the more or less I'M
certainty in the stability of the new
Cuban Government, the agitation
which the beet sugar men have been
conducting here makes for unrest on
the island and might trend toward an
ultimate occupation of the island
again by the United States troops and
annexation to this country.
. Nor is the day of this possibility
so far distant. The beet sugar people

prediction would be very gratifying to
the American consumer if it promised

the sugar industry proves, however.
that it is no part of the program of
the domestic sugar combination to
cheaper sugar TO the consumer. This
condition also is that feared by the
Cuban interests, who know that it
means the extinction of the only mar
ket remaining to them in the world.

sugar interest over all others. On the

winesap As a Keeper

l. H. Cook brought to the Echo a
Winesap apple that was raised in 1908
by MISS Addie Stowell Of Cashmere.
The apple was Of medium size, fair
color, and shows no signs of rot,
though it is a little withered. It shows
the keeping qualities of apples in this
high altitude. They will keep even
better if grown here. This particular
apple was brought to Leavenworth
last fall, by Edwin Shortley and was
placed in the cellar Of Mrs. Susan
Shortley, his mother, without special
preparation. The fruit is a curiosity,
and may be seen in the collection ex-
hibited in the window OF Adams &
Cars office on Front street.

Band Dance-Past and to Come

The dance given by the Leavenworth
band at the opera house Saturday even
ing was one of the most enjoyable affairs
of the kind held so far this season.
While not attended as largely as the
occasion warranted-thirty couples be-
ing PRESENT. was hugely enjoyed.
An orchestra of six pieces rendered
delightful music.
The band will give another dance
Saturday evening of this week; and,
owing to a previous engagement of the
opera house, it will be held in the Odd
Fellows hall. The orchestra Of six
pieces will again furnish the music, and
their work is attractive enough to those
who like to dance to tax the capacity
of the floor.
1t is Prof. McDaniePs intention, if
his efforts are appreciated by the public,
to add still further TO the orchestra as
fast as capable players can be secured.
1t is expected that the dances to be
given by the band this winter, with its
orchestra, will be the social

Valuable Three Acres

OF all the orchards in the Wenatchee
valley producing heavy crops each year
there are few that are valued as highly
by their owners as that owned by
Eugene Page, on Wenatchee avenue.
This place was purchased in 1902
ftom L. V. Wells by Fred Obernolte
for $500. This was considered a
high price. Fred Obernolte sold the
place four years ago to Eugene Page
for $4,000.
Some Of the trees are quite young
and large percentage Of them were
not in bearing, but Notwithstanding
that fact Mr.. Page has taken enough
in the past four years from his orchard
to pay for it. This figure is net and
does not include the money paid out for
picking, packing and marketing.
Mr.. Page refused $751; for this
place year ago. He says it is prob
ably worth $4,000, but that he is
holding it for $4,000 and would not
take any less.-Wenatchee World.

lode River Mining Proposition

G. w. Perry and A. H. Stowe, both
Seattle men, who are working on a
mining prospect in the Icicle valley,
near Snow creek, spent Tuesday here
buying supplies to be taken up to the
workings. Both are old mining men.
The claim was located about three
years ago, and since that time they
have been spending few months here
every year doing the assessment work.
The ore on which they are working
carries free milling gold, silver and
molybdenite. Both gentlemen are en-
thusiastic over their holdings and be-
ieve they are the owners of valuable
properties. It is not impracticable to
believe that active development work
will begin on this property early in the
spring.

NEW LtAVENwORTH ENTERPRISE
Mrs. A. J. Martin Opens Undertaking Par
Iors-Modern Equipment

A need that has been long felt in
Leavenworth is about to be supplied by
Mrs. A. J. Martin, acting for Sprague
& Ruppe. This lady has fitted up offices,
parlors and chapel in the building on
Commercial street next to the city hall,
and furnished them with the needful
modern requirements for an up-to-date
undertaking establishment.
She may install an organ and has
seated the chapel with fifty chairs, and
has put in other conveniences SO that
funeral services may be held there
when desired.
Mrs. Martin has well-selected stock
of caskets, and she is prepared to take
full charge OF funerals, doing everything
that may be required in a considerate,
tenderherted way, that has proved
comforting to many bereaved persons.
Her woman's heart frequently prompts
her to perform some consoling act that
would never occur to mere man.
Unless a body is to be embalmed
Mrs. Martin can take entire direction
removing the remains to her parlors;
preparing them for interment; making
all arrangements for the funeral, from
carriages to music; attending to every
thing at the cemetery; in short, relev-
ing the sorowing family Of these har-
rowing details. If the body is to be
embalmed, Mrs. Martin telephones to
her superiors, who will send compe-
tent, conscientious man to see that
this operation is properly performed.
Mrs. Martin could do the work herself;
but the law forbids. Soon she will
pass a state examination in this art,
when she will be able to do everything
herself.
Mrs. Martin has some letters in her
possession from relatives and friends OF
deceased persons for whom she has
performed the last sad rites, speaking
from OVERLOOKING hearts their gratitude
and thankfulness for Mrs. Martins kind
thoughtfulness.
