Lest the good people of Wenatchee

for this city, in that they have voted

for that is their present temper, de-
sire to suggest that there are at least
two more gems that must be added
to Wenatchee's crown. They are, a
public library and a Young Mems
Christian Association. These two in
situations will supply much of the
recreation and sOciability that the sa-
loon does, which will now be gone.
besides it will throw around both old
