On Tuesday Marshal Fitz' arrested
Eva Wilcox and Jennie Peterson, two
women who came here a week or two
ago from Skykomish and have been
employed as mattresses in the Japanese
for riding down Front street
as fast as their horses could go, both
riding astride like men. They were
taken before Justice Grant and fined
SIS each, which they paid. 1t is just
as much an offense for woman to ride
at breakneck pace thru the streets
as for a man to do the same thing, and
Marshal Fitz did quite right to enforce
the law. If women want a horse race
they should go along some unfre-
quented country road. The public
streets of a town is no place for a
horse race.

Some Health Proverbs

In a few simple, one sentence ser
mons, as true as gospel, the state
health department gives to the citizens
Of Virginia, more direct information on
the preservation Of hee and happi-
ness than ever before siLce the depart
ment wa5 estat iished. and Comniss-
ioner Ennion Williams and his able
assistants are TO be congratulated on
their work.
Here are some Of the health proverbs
which should be pasted in the hat:
He who says he would rather have
smallpox than be vaccinated, never
had the smallpox"
An open window is better than an
open grave"
Warm rooms have killed more
people than ever froze to death"

a case Of typhoid. D."
If your milk man brings you warm
milk, make it hot for him.
Wire screens in the windows may
keep Grape from the door,
"a fly in the milk often means
member Of the family in the grave"
IF some people were as much
afraid of flies as they are Of bad water,
there would be less typhoid -

There was a noticeable frost in the
opera house last Friday evening. Just
SO people-including babies, children
and deadheads-heard the lecture by
Rev. w. V. Davis on the subject which
heads this writing.
The lecture was given for the benefit
Of the local Commercial Club. Only a
bakers dozen or SO Of the members
were in evidence-perhaps the rest had
cold ears. Mr.. Davis felt hurt-"dis-
appointed" he put it-over the dis
courtesy, doubtless unintentional but
none the less effectual.
The lecture vas well prepared and
contained many tributes to women
young, middle-aged and old-in the
speakers well-known happy style, which
pleased all who heard. Stories and an
ecdotes were stirred in to illustrate a
lesson, adorn tale or point moral.
Robert Lawrence opened the enter
tainment by singing bass solo, Asleep
in the Deep, with good voice and ex-
preston. Miss Leo Davis played the
accompaniment.

Joked Himself In
accompaniment.

Here is Champ Clark's defense oi
humor, if it needs one:
THE dry-as-dusts solomnly assever-
ate that humor never did any good.
Now, let's see. How did Private
John Allen of Mississippi get to con-
gress? Joked himself in. One bit oi
humor sent him to Washington, ma
tional lawmaker. Opposing him fol
the congressional nomination was the
Confederate General Tucker They
met on the stump. General Tucker
closed one Of his speeches as follows
" Seventeen years ago tonight, my
fellow citizens, after a hard fought bat
tie on yonder hill, bivouacked under
yonder clump of trees. Those of you
who remember as do the times that
tried mems souls will not, hope, for
get their humble servant when the pri-
maries shall be held
That was a strong appeal in those
days, but John raised the general at his
own game. My fellow citizens, what
General Tucker says to you about biv-
ouacking under yonder clump of trees
is true. II is also true, my fellow cit
liens, that I was vidette picket and
stood guard over him while he slept.
Now, then, fellow citizens, all you who
were generals and had privates to stand
over you while you slept vote for Gen
eral Tucker, and all Of you who were
privates and stood guard over the gen.
erals while they slept vote for Private
John Allen The pepole caught on,
took John at his word and sent him to
congress, where he staid until the world
was filled with his renown.

SNOW CREEK CANAL COMPANY
Established Camp Near intake Last Satur-
day-First Work on the High Line Irr;ga-
ton and Power Ditch

ton and Power Ditch
S. P. Beecher, who was in Leagen-
worth Monday, one Of the prime NOV
ers in the Snow Creek Canal Co., com
posed Of local and Seattle and Everett
people said work began last week by
establishing the first camp on the
mountain near where the water will be
taken from Snow creek.
Mr.. Beecher says his company is
prepared to 60 on with the building Of
the Snow creek canal and as soon as
some preliminary plans are completed
full force Of men will be put to work on
the canal, which is intended to convey
water to land in the vicinity of Leaven-
worth and Peshastin. The canal will
be approximately 20 miles long.
This is the company which will sub
nit proposition to supply Leavenworth,
Cashmere and Wenatchee with water
for domestic and fire purposes. Snow
creek heads up against Mount Stewart,
and runs its entire length thru rough
country inaccessible to everything, ex-
cept probably to mountain goats and
birds. About six miles southwest of
Leavenworth it empties into lake of
great depth some 80 acres in extent.
1t is said by those who are familiar with
the ground that, at small expense, it is
possible to build dam to impound the
waters Of the lake and thus not only Sc
cure a settling basin but also increase
the water reserve to a considerable ex-
tent. 1t is the lake that the Snow
Creek Canal Company will tap for its
water supply. The quantity is said to
be ample and, on account OF the impos-
sibility of contamination, to be ideal for
domestic use. 1t is this quality upon
which the company relies to commend
it to the towns named as a source of
unfailing pure water.

LOCALSLOSF, THE OPENING GAME
Sloppy Ball and Little Hard Luck Gives
the Game to Monroe BY a Score of 8 to
1-Attendanoe of fans Good


Notwithstanding the cold, gloomy
weather that prevailed Sunday, large
crowd gathered at the ball park to wit
ness the opening game.
There was not a doubt in the minds
of the most faithful that the home team
would get the winning run; and then
to get such an unmerciful walloping
was too much for the best Of them.
From the time Umpire Moore an
nounced Play Ball until the last man
was out Leavenworth never had look
in. Toward the last the home team
was only waiting for the.end.
Lee was in good form and pitched
nice ball through the whole game, al
lowing only seven hits. Kinnaman
pitched great ball for the visitors, twice
pulling himself out of dangerous holes
when a little hit would have tied the
score.
The first inning proved to be the un-
doing of the home team. The first two
Monroe men were easy victims. Then
things started to happen. The follow
ing man up slammed one down to third.
A wild throw and the runner was safe.
The next hit one to Tholin, who was
slow in handling it, and the batter was
safe. Kinnaman followed and smashed
one down to short. Another error and
the bases were full. Byles, next up,
hit to deep left field for two bases, scor-
ing three runs. Fortunately the next
man popped up an infeld fly and the
side was retired.
Tholin, first up for the home team,
slammed out two-bagger, was sacri-
feed to second by Mahoney, went to
third on a hit by Miller, and came home
on passed ball, bringing in the only
score of the game for the Cubs.
Up to the sixth inning everything
was running smoothly. When the Wis
itors again got busy and succeeded in
getting a runner over the pan.
The last half of the sixth looked good
to the home team. In fact it was their
only chance during the game. With
three men on bases and only one out
the prospects were good. A little hit
might have tied the score. When old
Pete Lee strolled up to the plate, the
chances were still better, as Pop has
always been noted as a good pinch hit
ter. But fate had it in for the big fel-
low and the best he could do was to
drop one in the hands of the left fielder.
Raymond came up next, and interest
was again renewed, as Tealy has been
knows to come through with a hit in a
case of need. But the best he could
do was three waves at empty air.
The eighth proved to be another
fatal inning, when three more Of the
visitors crossed the plate in rapid sue
One run was added in the
ninth.

when a counts official secures some
other Office by virtue Of being county
official he is not entitled to retain for
himself fees collected in the second
office. 1t is also held that deputy
employed in a county Office at monthly

CATION, it will not be long before the
northern fuel fields can be worked.
Finding for the defendants in case
wherein the government was plaintiff,
the trial court held Alaska coal entries
must be considered solely by the special
law applying to Alaska. The court
holds that the entrymen now on trial
proceeded strictly according to this law;
hence they are not guilty of fraud as
charged. The government has taken
an appeal from this construction to the
supreme court. If that tribunal sustains
Judge Hanford it will not be. long until

Graduates from non-accredited high
schools in the future will be allowed to
take their examinations for admission to
the University of Washington at their
respective high schools. This obviates
the necessity of crowding numerous ex-
aminations into the two days preceding
registration. Students will also be sure
of their admission before making prep
arations to come to Seattle, so they can
make up on any subjects on which they
may be weak at the time of taking the
tests. Letters explaining the new sys-
tenn have been sent to the principals Of
all the non-accredited high schools Of
the state.
