DO YOU CARE FOR YOUR TOWN?
impressions of a Stranger Concerning the
Apparent Apathy of the Citizens
Of Ieaven,Norfh
Do you like your town?

Do you ike your town?
F Do you want to see your town grow?
Do you care anything for the pros
perity of your town?
Do you feel coniented to selfshly
attend only to your own personal afairsF
/ Do you do anything for the general
advancement Of your town that does
no. at the same time advance your own
personal, immediate interests?
Do you blindly grope for the present
success Of your own business, and take
no thought for the future Of the lovely
and lively little city tina; might be
built up here in ten or fifteen years, in
which your wealth, your pride, and
your honor would be multiplied far be-
yond what they can be under present
conditions?
To the stranger that is within your
gates it appears you do not like your
town; you do not want to see your
town grow; you do not care anything
about your town; you do feel con-
tented with things as they are; you
would not do anything for the general
advancement; you are blind.
If the stranger is mistaken in his
premises, why do you not get into the
game?
If you lie supinely on your back,
Leayenworth will be no bigger or better
than it is today.
Boost the town.
Get in and throw dirt.
There are hustling communities.
They will leave you behind if you
do not wake up and be live one.
Attend your Commercial Club meet
ings, even at some personal and fnan-
cial sacrifice.
Let the stranger and the passerby
know what beautiful town location is
here.
Boast of the purity and plenty Of
your water supply.
Rave over the unmatchable scenery
enclosing this lovely townsite.
Make public the fact this is not a
tough, wicked town, whatever its repu-
tation may have been.
Invite the folks to come and see the
indispensable soil for fruits and veget-
ables, both under ditch and subirrigated.
Prate about the bigger and better
and redder apples grown here.
Show your shipping facilities and
proximity TO markets at Seattle, Tacoma,
Portland, Spokane, Minneapolis, St.
Paul, Chicago, New York, Europe,
China, and the antlpodeS.
Drag about the 1901 lovely condi-
tons surrounding Leavenworth.
State the fact in red language that
apple overproduction is impossible.
Explain the fact that, contiguous to
Leavenworth, there is in plenty agri-
cultural and horticultural land to sup
port beautiful little city of 5000 to
10000, and just room for it in the
basin formed by the hills.
Spend money advertising all these
advantages and then some.
Other cities and towns are doing
these things. Leavenworth will get
into the also ran class if you do not
do it.
Now, do not throw this paper aside
with lazy, supercilious smile and go
on in the same old way. Roll up your
sleeves, throw your shoulders back,
take deep breath, and get in and dig.

AS the result OF its investigation,
the State Tax League declares that
it costs more to clear land in School
District 2s Jefferson county, than in
any other part Of the state. At Bo-
gachieI. the directors chose a site OF
two acres and paid 81, l5G to have it
cleared. Then they sent to Seattle
for a one-room portable school house,
which cost $500 and spent another
$500 to get it to the site. The di-
rectors are coming in for a great deal
of criticism on account Of their ex-
travagance. This district, which has
six children OF school age, derives
81, 900 annually in taxes from its tim
Der for educational purposes.

The Bellingham Herald says Lyman,
Skagit County, is to have mammoth
cement mill, the largest in the state.
The plant will have a capacity of 1000
barrels daily, and work will begin as
soon as arrangements can be made
for men, teams and transportation, and
within few months the mountains Of
cement material right at the city S
edge will be drawn on to keep the
giant crushers busy, and the product
will go long way towards supplying
the apparently limitless demand for
cement in this age Of artificial stone.

While there is abundant evidence
that there will be the greatest display
Of minerals at the Spokane Interstate
fair next September that was ever
shown on the grounds, it still remains
for a number Of districts and many
mines to be heard from. The oppor-
tunity which will be afforded miners
to have their exhibits examined by
several hundred Of the most prominent
mining engineers on this continent or
any other should be all the inducement
required to call out a display from
every mine in the Northwest. The
miners in this locality are urged to get
out the best display possible. II a
party cannot be sent with the exhibits,
pack them carefully at the proper time,
of which they will receive due notice,
and send them in with such maps,
photos, and descriptions as will best
advertise the mines. The exhibits will
be viewed by 500 mining engineers
and many thousands Of Eastern people.

j. E. CROCKER DEAD.

Elhanan Croker, brotherof our
townsman, j. d. Crocker, and for
several years citizen of Camden,
died at his home here at s o'clock
last Sunday evening.
For probably year or more Mr..

SO i'll that he was compelled to
take to his bed. Since that time
he had been under the care of a
physician, but he was able to be
up and was out in town the first of
last week. His condition became
critical Saturday. A report from
his bedside late Saturday evening
stated that it was doubtful if he
would live through the night, and
relatives were summoned in antic-
ipation of his approaching death.
Sunday morning he grew rapidly
worse, the end coming at SIP. m.
In private life Mr.. Croker was
kind and charitable, and he pos
sessed many warm friends. He is
survived by his widow and two
children, small boys, to whom his
death comes as a sad blow.
The funeral services were held
Monday at 2 p. m. at the family
residence, under the direction of
Rev. w. f. Acuff, and the burial
took place at Camden Cemetery.

the Rev ID. c. Wright, before the
last meeting of the week of prayer

Impossible ever to tell the full effect
of any religious meeting; but he him
self felt as IL good had been ac-
Icomplished and better spirit
brought about, and that same senti-
ment has been expressed to him by
Others. In some cities laymen of
all denominations gather about the
supper table frequently and discuss
matters close to them, and 1t might
be tried here after the holidays.
