MAIL MONEY HOME
LeavenWorth Records Show Cash Sent
to Orient.

Leavenworth, Wash, Dec. IL
Postoffice records at this place show
an average of two International mon
ey orders issued daily for the month
ended December 18th, two-fifths of
which has been sent to Japan and the
remainder TO Italy, Ireland, Germany,
Sweden and England
The average amount of the Japa-
nose orders is $40, while that of the
Italian is $50, their wages being
equal.
The Italian spends little money
here; he possesses few good clothes,
but is content with only the necessary
work clothes. They club together,
subsisting on bread and macaroni,
which costs but few cents a day.
The japanese, many of them, with
families, wear better clothes and
spend more money and send less to
their native land. Some of the Japs
here are developing orchard land.

Are Indicted by Gov

Washington, D. c., Dec. 17.-For
Ydsing the United States mails to fur

! by the interior department last night
to be wildly and flagrantly frauiu-

BUSINESS BODIES
WANT HOLIDAY
Gov. Hay Being Urged to
Proclaim Dec. rs and
Jan. 2 Holidays.

Governor Hay is being overWhelm-
ed with protests from business men
and commercial organiza tions
throughout the state against allow
ing Christmas and New Years to
pass by without proclamations
A week ago the Governor announ-
ced that there would be no legal
holidays for Christmas and New
Years. Business men consider this
prejudicial to good business. They
will make an effort to show the chief
executive that sentiment is overwhel-
mingly in favor of declaring the Mon
days following Christmas and New
Years to be legal holidays.
Already strong protests have been
sent to the executive office from the
Seattle Chamber of Commerce, the
Seattle Association of Credit Men,
Seattle Clearing House Association,
Seattle Commercial Club, clearing
houses of Spokane and Tacoma, and
the commercial bodies of Walla Wal
la, Bellingham, Everett and the 9TH
er cities.
Many of the larger retail stores
and mercantile institutions have an
nounced their intention of giving
their employees a holiday On those
days whether it is so declared by the
Governor Of the stale or not.
No city in the state is more vitality
interested in having December 26th
declared legal holiday than is We
natchee. 1t will make a difference
of probably $1,000 in the gross re-
ceipts of the football game in Seat
tie on that day. Furthermore, many
citizens from here would attend the
game if Monday was holiday, who
would be compelled by their business
to remain at home if business houses
are open.
1t is probable that some expression
from the trustees of the Wenatchee
Commercial Club will be communi-
Gated to the Governor. joining in the
universal protest and urging him to
make the proclamation at once.

won on the Spitzenbergs and Bald
wins and second prize on Winesaps.
The Baldwin exhibit was entered
against the apple that is peculiarly
adapted to Missouri.
In the letter received by Mr.. Tan
ner from the Fruit Grower, it is
stated that the interest of the visit
ors was at white heat during the two
days which the show lasted. There
was very strong competition in near
ly every variety and it took excellent
fruit to win the prizes. The first
prizes on the plate exhibits were S.
and the second prize was So.
While the Brother Jonathan ap-
pie show was not one of the big shows
pulled off this year in the east, yet
fruit from twenty-one states and
British Columbia was on the tables.

A SIX MONTHS
DELAY FOR
WOMEN
Totten and Beebe Cases
May Not Be Disposed of
Very Soon.

1t Is probable that the supreme
and Beebe appeals sooner than six
months from now. This prediction
is made on the supposition that At
torney Thomas, for the defendants,
possible. Mrs. Beebe's sentence, as
possible. Mrs. Beebes sentense, as
we'll as Mrs. Totten's, began to be
served from the moment it was pro-
nounced yesterday morning. The
time consumed in perfecting an APP
peal and receiving the final verdict
from the supreme court, is all count
ed in as part of the term which she
is supposed to serve in the peniten-
tiary at hard labor. If she should be
let off with the minimum of one year,
then only six months of hard labor
in the penitentiary will be required
of the aged prisoner.
In order to perfect an appeal to
the supreme court, the defendant
must serve upon the states attorney
within thirty days from the date of
the sentence. a statement of facts
which is a transcript of the testimony
taken in the superior court trial.
Stenographer George F. Begg has al
ready been ordered by the defending
attorney. Ira Thomas, to prepare this
transcript of both cases. Mr.. Begg
will receive several hundred dollars
as compensation for this work. This
record of facts must be certified by
the trial judge who, in this case, was
Judge Grimshaw
Within ninety days after giving
notice of appeal, the defendant has
to. serve and file an opening brief
at the local clerks office. Within
thirty days after the defendants brief
is filed, the states attorney must en-
ter his replying brief. These briefs.
together with the record, are certi
fled up to the supreme court by the
clerk of the superior court. The ap
peal is then set down for hearing at
the next ensuing term of the supreme
court.
Chelan, being one of the smallest
counties, this appeal will probably be
allowed to go to the bottom of the
calender. This fact means that the
case will not be heard for two months
from the date of filing.
Meanwhile the prisoners remain in
the county jail serving ont their sem
fences without being subjected to the
hard labor which would be required
in the penitentiary.

RIVER MAN On
AN OPEN
RIVER
G. M. Francis Says Rock Is
land Dam Would Be
Great Boon.

The opening of the Columbia to
the sea is one of the most important
things that can be taken up for We
natchee and tributary section, and,
in fact, the whole state of Washing
ton. There is no question as to the
feasibility of the proposition. This
is the opinion given by c. NJ Francis,
now of this city, but for years a Mis-
sissippi river steamboat man.
Work at Twin Cities.
Speaking of the work done by the
government at the cities of ST. Paul
and Minneapolis, Mr.. Francis said ::
ION the Mississippi river, between
the Twin Cities, the government has
erected a big dam which was built
for the sole purpose of utilizing the
water power. The power will be
used for municipal purposes wher-
ever needed.
Only Two Dams Needed.
Il am told that only two dams are
needed on the Columbia to make it
navigable to the sea. Although not
having gone into the matter very
deeply, | believe that the dams both
can be built for $1,000,0O0.
Back Water at Wenatciee.
THE building of a dam at Rock
Island rapids would make the Col
umbia river at Wenatchee like a
lake. 1t would provide excellent
harbor facilities. A dam could be
built there at a cost that is com
paratively reasonable and entirely
within the line of possibility.
Another dam would be needed at
Priest rapids.
Much Water Power.
The dams when completed would
afford. power for the use of lifting
water to thousands of acres of land
along the river. There would also
be abundance of power for municipal
and other purposes.
Cost of Freights.
The open river would mean mil
lions of dollars saved in freight
rates. One good steamboat could
bring back from Portland a dozen
good sized scoWs. These could be
loaded with apples, lumber, wheat
and other products"

Preparations for the Game.
Coach Sievers has allowed his pu-

other night and a little gymnasium
work has been all that was done.
The coming week the program is
more strenuous. The team Will be
on the high school grounds every af-

do. When the boys reach Seattle,
they will be in the very pink of con-
dition.
Leave for Seattle Friday.
The team will depart on the ORR
entail Limited Friday noon. The OBJ
ject of this early start is to give the
players opportunity to become used
to the climate of Seattle and the
grounds on which the game is to
take place. Their hotel headquar-
ters will be at the Washington Hotel
Annex, ana the Seattle Athletic Club
has extended them all the privileges
