Following a custom which she has
kept up for the past three years little
Sada Hasagara. a Japanese girl pupil of
the public school gave each of the
teachers in the public school, includ-
ing ianitor Davis, handsome Japanese
silk handkerchief for a Christmas gift
on Thursday afternoon. Little Sada
has frequently recited in public before
the people OF Leavenworth and has al
ways acquitted herself very creditably.

most attentive children in the schoo,

studies, and is popular among the
teachers and children.

FIND GOLD AND. ASBESTOS
Gold in TalC--Find More Valuable Than At
First Estimated

Messrs. w. E. and Mark Bartlett, of
Tacoma, aroused considerable interest
among local mining men the first OF the
week by exhibiting samples OF asbestos
and tale here. They were on their
way to Tacoma where they expect to
spend the holidays and shortly there
after return to resume development
work on their property which is located
in the Peshastin valley about four miles
south Of Leavenworth. Messrs. Bart
lett made the discovery of the asbestos
property last spring and did considera-
BILE work on it in the way Of develop
ment the past summer. Mention OF
the find reached the ears OF reporter
for this paper and some mention was
made of the matter but without much
in the way of facts to go on. The
brothers laid great store by their asbestos
find on account of the fine quality
which is said to measure eighteen
inches in length with unusual strength
OF fiber. 1t is said to equal the asbestos
which comes from Thetford, province
of Quebec, where all the asbestos for
weaving into cloth comes from. Just
what this kind OF asbestos is worth per
ton we are not informed but it is ex-
ceedingly valuable. The kind which
is used in the form of pulp is plentiful
and cheap.
With the purpose of determining the
value of some tale they discovered in
the same vicinity they recently had
some of it assayed and to their aston
ishment found that it contained over
$8 in gold to the ton. Gold is fre-
quently found in tale formation, in
deed in the Blewett mines gold is often
found imbedded in tale. Thomas Burke
of this city had a piece of gold ore a
few years ago that came from Blewett
which was imbedded in tale formation.
Mention of this is made to show that
free gold in combination with tale is
not uncommon in this vicinity. The
specimen which the Bartlett brothers
had assayed came from the surface,
which leads to the assumption that
deeper in the earth the percentage of
gold may increase. Development work
on the property will be resumed short
ly after the holidays and continued un-
til the value OF the find is determined.

Six trainmen were injured Wednes-
day when No. the Oriental Limited
and No. A the Burlington train came
together at Odessa, Wash. Fortunately
no one was seriously hurt. The trains
had orders to pass at Odessa but they
were evidently misunderstood as the
Oriental limited was pulling out of
Odessa when the crash came. Neither
train was moving very fast at the time
of the accident, which accounts for the
few injured. Engineer Rogers and
Fireman Brian on the Oriental Limited
jumped but sustained no serious in
juries.
Fireman Kysart on No. A had his
right foot smashed and badly bruised.
Phillip Lang and James Harper mail
clerks on the Oriental Limited suffered
minor injuries.
Both locomotives and the mail cars
were badly damaged. AS yet the
blame for the accident has not been
fixed.
Mr.. and Mrs. Fred Reeves of We
natchee were passengers on No. A
and say they were badly shaken up.

worried woman last Monday night when
at 10 O. clock her two little boys Fred
and Walter had failed to show up at
home. The boys had gone out sleigh
riding after school and took it into their
heads that they would go out to Mr..
Vande Grift's ranch on Eagle creek on
a visit. They succeeded in getting as
far as Mr.. Sharp's place, where they
were taken in for the night. Louis
Lancaster and Mrs. VANDERBILT drove

This is the oldest mercantile establish
ment in the town. About their win
dow you will note the middle aged and
elderly people find the greatest attrac-
ton.
The big show window of the Leaven-
worth Furniture and Hardware company
contains one of the most attractive and
appropriate displays in the town. In
the center of the window is a large
deer with a magnificent set of horns,
mounted by Fred Marble, to whose skill
as taxidermist the mute mount bears
eloquent testimony. Surrounding the
deer are guns and gun carriers of al
kinds, shells and the accessories of the
hunter. Mr.. Patterson, a member o.
the firm, who arranged the display ha;
given previous evidence of his skill g
window dresser.
"The jeweler with the little store
and the small profits" over which N.
A. Nelson presides, makes display in
keeping with the motto, not large, but
yet large enough to catch the eye ol
passers by. If you cannot see in the
window what you want step inside and
he'll show you more.
The White Star Market makes q
habit OF keeping a window display
but just now it is more elaborate
and attractive than usual. G. w,
Sampson. who guides the destinies o.
the White Star Market had the benefits
OF window display impressed on his
mind in Hot Springs, Arkansas, and
usually has something to tempt the
gastronomist's gaze in his show window.
The Hub clothing store, which
caters strictly to men, has a window
show that would attract attention in any
city. Who the architect of this ar
rangement may have been we are not
advised, but it does him credit. The
wearables are bright, fresh and fetch
ingly displayed. The young man who
would pass Mr.. Browns windows with
out stopping to look would be the kind
OF husband no woman would want.
The Osborne cafe is the only one o.
several restaurants to make window
display. This hostelry, if it be proper
to call an eating place by this name,
has very appetite teasing show of good
things to eat, and as the writer passed
by tramp was looking at the window

far" look on his face.
]. E. Grant, the tailor who makes
clothes for both men and women, has
no special window display but keeps
his store open at both ends, so that
people can come in going and coming
Then there is Nolan & Jones, tailors,
who have not made a window display.
Neither has Peppler, the tin man.
]. D. Wheeler, Of the Photo Art
Shop, makes quite display OF pictures
and says, If you don't see what you
want, ask for it. have it on the
inside"
There are others, of whom mention
should be made, but every story must
have an end, and as mention has been
made of all those who have made q
special effort to dress their windows
and advertise their wares, barring the
vendors of wet goods, who are so for
tunate as not to have to advertise, be-
cause the business just naturally comes
to them, further comment is omitted.
