BRIEF NOTES.
December 3.

December 3.
The last month of the year
came in with tremendous hurly-
burly of wind and rain, tearing
down fences, undoing the mos
quito work of the jealous Board
of Health, and making a general
wholesale disorder and hubbub.
But it is fine and cool and one
can get about with comfort and
ease.
This strong, boisterous wind
will send the mosquitoes out to
sea, and that is a great comfort
and satisfaction in the midst Of
the din of everything slapping
and thrashing all about us. 1t is
certainly the toughest sort of
weather-and not often known in
Honolulu.
But, Merry Christmas is COM
ing, and all looks now as if it
would be the very best we have
ever known, judging from the
appearance of the stores.
The windows are resplendent
with holiday goods. The toys
alone are bewildering sight, a
magnificent medley of invention
and delight for the eyes of the
children. The poorest little one
can feast his eyes every day at
shop doors and windows, and
hundreds are made happy by the
sight.
1t is a delight to watch the lit
tie orientals at these windows.
And there is very little they do
not spy out and comment upon to
their guardians.
All strangers and tourists
within our gates at this holiday
season are greatly surprised at
the magni6cence OF the importa-
tions of the stores-the rare lace,
ribbons, silks, and costly gems
in jewelry, plate and cut glass;
the Eastern rugs and marvellous
woodwork, the engravings and
paintings, the wonderful curios,
the Japanese and Chinese dis
play; it is, indeed, a revelation to
them, one and all, to find in this
mid-Pacifc, this Hawaii, this
choice show of wares from every
country of the globe.
Many of the tourists, if here
only for a few days, wander about
from shop to shop, not emitting
the stores of the Orientals, and.
even the distant Chinese quarters,
looking often for quaint and rare
devices in stone or ivory, in silks

in slum parishes for years, and
probably knew almost as much
as a curate in a poor district of
the manners and customs, hard
ships and habits of the submerg-
ed tenth. He perfectly under
stood the young hooligans and
took just as much practical inter-
est in all works for the allevia-
ton of their poverty and their
moral improvement as does the
Queen, who with her own hands
makes dozens of garments for
poor children during the year.

Joseph Letter, in an interview
on his yacht Chantecler, said,
with a smile: please quote me
accurately. In an interview, you
know, the slightest inaccuracy
can make a man ridiculous. 1t is
like the Frenchman who, though
he had a very fair knowledge OF
English, nevertheless said to his
father: "Aha! Your son he re-
sembles you. A chip off the old
blockhead, helm. "-Washington

A PRINCE IN THE SLUMS

The late Prince Francis of Teck
had for years been the best
known of the Queens brothers,
for, like his sister, he had always
taken a great interest in philan-
thropic work. He had worked

1.-The Gold King "

The play Of The Gold King, given
Wednesday and Thursday nights by the
Western Stock Company, amateur play
ers OF Leavenworth, under the direction
OF Mrs. Mabel Hutchings, was decidedly
refreshing. The piece itself is of a
sensational cast, and there are plenty
Of thrilling moments.
No comparisons may be made be-
tween the players. Every one of them
carried of the parts assigned in realistic
manner. There may be concealed
among them future histrionic stars or
vaudeville notables. The least that
can be said is the play was well staged,
well managed and well acted, giving
pleasure to the two fair-sized audiences.
Clifford Peltier gave fine exhibition
Of dancing between acts, but declined
an encore.
Little Miss Hutchings sang Mexi-
can character song in costume which
highly pleased the listeners, while the
love song by this winsome maid and
Master Clifford Hagier brought down
the house, and they consented to re-
peat il.

Did You Ever Know a Man
To Get Rich by Day Labor!

1t is next to impossible to make more
than bare living by day labor. A great
many fortunes have been made by small
investments in real estate. The man
who made investments in Leavenvorth
property FIVE or six years ago has more
than trebled his money. The opportu-
nifty for profit in Leavenworth property
IS better now than ever. With the
many big things now under way here
there is prospect Of a town twice, yes,
three times as large inside OF two years.
This is no dream. Size up the stu
alton. Look at the Improvements under
way. The steel smelter will expend
between fifty and a hundred thousand
dollars here this summer in erecting a
plant. The marble people are only
waiting on the weather 10 begin opera
tons on a plant that may even be larger
than the steel plant. Two irrigating
companies will begin operations south
of town inside Of thirty days. One has
already spent $4,000 on its ditch.
Two brick business houses are under
way. Others TO follow inside Of thirty
days. Property is advancing every week.
Lots that could have been bought thirty
days ago for $500 are today worth $500
and $500. Acreage has also advanced
since the snow disappeared. Do not
put of getting a lot or piece Of land
until after another advance IS recorded.
Money invested in property grows while
you sleepl I have town lots, improved
and unimproved acreage, some business
propositions that look good. In short
time viii have lots, and acreage adjoin-
ing town, to sell on very easy terms.
See me about this. I invest every dol
lar Of my commission in Leavenworth
dirt. A. L. HAINES.

An interesting meeting meeting OF
the club was held last Monday even
ing. A number OF important questions
were discussed and acted upon.
Prof. R. E. Tumble Of Wenatchee
is invited to deliver lecture on prun-
ing at a smoker TO be held in the club
rooms Friday, March "a, to which the
fruitgrowers Of Peshastin and the sur
rounding country are invited. Lunch
will be served by the Ladies of the
Congregational church.
1t was decided to hold MONDAY
luncheon in the club rooms Tuesday,
March 81. Whether this custom will
be continued in the future may be de-
cided at the luncheon.
These is a prospect of the next
meeting Of the State Bankers Associa-
ton being held in Wenatchee in Sep
TENDER. The propriety Of inviting the
association, through the Wenatchee
club, to spend one day at Leavenworth
was discussed at considerable length,
the club finally deciding to ask them
to spend one day here and make trip
to the Chewawa river valley over the
Wenatchee Valley and Northern railway
and provide a trout fry dinner for the
guests at some point in the Chewawa
river valley.
The club decided to give the City
Beautiful Club the use Of one room for
their books until such time as better
location can be had, and to have
bookcase made, which was generously
donated by Messrs. Field and Jacobsen.
President Field was authorized to
appoint delegates to the transportation
congress to be held in Wenatchee on
March %, in the event the club was
invited 10 send delegates.

Hillman. the Seattle real estate pro-
moter who has been on trial for the
past two months in the United States
court on a charge of using the mail to
defraud, was found guilty by jury
after being out nearly twenty-iour hours.
We have watched the trial and read
much of the evidence as brought out
on the trial. There is no doubt Of his
guilt. He is estimated to be worth
S7,000,000, and is said to have more
ready money than any man in Seattle.
Most Of this money was wrung from
poor people who were duped into buy
ing high-priced and worthless prop
erty on the presentations OF Hill
man that he would build cities, facto-
ries and railroads, thus doubling the
value of the land sold. He stated on
the witness stand that he could not
carry out his promises because Of the
panic of 1907, during which time he
was unable to borrow money, which
statements were shown to be false by
the testimony OF bankers, who testified
that he had over 100000 on deposit
in their banks. He was convicted on
thirteen out Of fourteen counts, the
penalty for which is $1,000 fine and FIVE
years in the penitentiary on each count.
He whined about the disgrace to his
children, and said he would spend
every cent he had before he would go
to the penitentiary. II Hillman really
means what he says. seven million will
prove a mighty potent factor in releas-
ing him from the clutches of the law.
There are courts and juries willing to
earn that sum. All he's got to do is
to show them that he is in earnest.
Just so puissant is money.

The express and railroad companies

The express and railroad companies
are urging the big wholesale houses to
oppose the parcels post bill; and, in
turn, the wholesale houses are urging
all the retail dealers of the country to
write personal letters TO senators and
congressman. A few letters, says our
Washington correspondent, are received
from farmers and others, urging their
representatives to vote for the bill. It
is now up TO the submerged three
fourths of the population who are VIC
tins Of express rate robbery to get busy
and write personal letters. The country
press is negligent in one of its most
important duties if it does not do its
part in arousing the masses, especially
the farmers, to the great importance Of
writing personal letters to their senators
and representatives in brief words, say
ing where they stand on this question.
Just intimate that your future support
will depend on the outcome of the par
GELS post BILL Ordinarily senators and
congressman do not pay much attention
to the wishes Of the farmers; but a
farmers vote counts as much on cleo
ton day as the vote of the biggest mer-
chant in the United States, and there
are so many more Of the farmers. The
fear OF the loss OF the farmer vote on
election day makes cold chills run up
and down the back Of the most stiff
necked senator or representative who
ever warmed a seat in the national leg
islature.

The COUNCIL MEETING
Sewer Bids Opened Up for Further
Consideration

AT the regular meeting Of the council
Tuesday evening all the members Of
the official family were present.
A petition signed by Dan belong
and others was presented, asking that
a street be opened adjoining their prop
erty in the fat east Of the railroad grade
in Ralston addition. The petition was
referred to the Streets and Alleys COM
mittee.
The request Of F. R. Peake for per
mission to burn rubbish on lot II block
3 was referred to the marshal, with
power to act if he deemed it safe.
J. w. Elliott asked the council to
establish a street grade on Front street,
where he is engaged in building an
opera house. The council decided to
employ an engineer to establish a grade
on Front and Ninth streets.
After some discussion and changes
Ordinances Nos. 10 and 80 were adopt
ed. The former relating to booths in
restaurants, and the latter relating to
licensing public halls, meuy-go-rounds,
skating Kinks, shows, and other places
of Dublic amusement.
Two bids for the construction Of the
sewer were opened. Gillette & Burgie
Of Wenatchee, So725; c. J. Smith,
representing Spokane parties, $500. 20.
The sewer is 1885 feet long, and
crosses under the railroad track near
the east end of town. Final action on
the bids was delayed until next Tues
day evening, when the council meets
in adjourned session.
Hathaway, Rice and Weigand were
appointed as a committee to confer
with the light and water company with
regard TO additional street lights.
The Tumwater Light and Water
Company's bill for February lights,
S131, and the Post-Intelligencer, for
advertising, $1,000, were allowed.

The school directors have under
consideration the erection of another
school building, to cost $4,000 or
$4,000. While so large building
may not be necessary at this time, the
prospect Of growth must be taken into
consideration and future demands for
additional school room counted on. It
may be real economy to anticipate our
needs by two or three years, rather
than proceed on an economical plan to
provide for the pressing needs of the
present. The taxpayers may be called
on 10 vote bonds for a new building
the coming summer, and should give
this matter serious thought.

The people Of Cashmere, now that
Bowlby is removed, want state road No.
7 changed. This is the road to con-
meet Wenatchee with Ellensburg by
way of Colockum and make three
switchbacks in crossing the Ellensburg
mountains. A road which il is impos-
sible to keep open during the winter
on account Of snow. The Peshastin
creek route, the lowest pass between
Wenatchee and Ellensburg, where there
is a good road that is kept open all
winter, was turned down by BowIby al
the command Of Sam Hill, whom the
governor said on a memorable occasion
was Mr.. Bowlby's boss, for the impos-
sible, very expensive Colockum route.

BOOK RECEPTION A SUCCESS
Over 200 Books ReoeiVed-More Promised
Neat Cash Contribution

The ladies Of the City Beautiful Club
may be sincerely congratulated over the
success Of their book reception enter
tainment at the opera house last Friday
night. The social feature Of the affair
was pronounced by many as one Of the
most pleasing and enjoyable they ever
attended in Leavenworth.
The hall resembled large parlor
more than anything. The floor was
covered with rugs, and around a half
dozen or more library tables were easy
chairs, settees and rockers. Carnations
and palms were employed with good
effect.
A committee of ladies received the
guests, of which there were about 200.
The musical program consisted Of in
strumental solos by Miss Leo Davis, Mrs.
NJ. o. Titus, Miss Edna Featherstone,
and Miss Bessie Walker; songs by a
male quartet, Messrs. Sharman. Squires.
Davis and Marble, with many instru-
mental and vocal numbers from volun-
teers. Delicious fruit punch was served
the entire evening. At 1890 the ladies
served sandwiches, coffee and cake.
Over 200 well-bound, standard books
were received, with half as many more
promised, and $50 in money.
The ladies OF the club are working
for a public library, and have made q
substantial and encouraging start. They
should receive the encouragement OF
every citizen of the town, and doubtless
will, as friendly and helpful expressions
were freely made.
The books are to be kept in the
Commercial Club rooms until a suitable
place can be secured, and will be open
to the public as soon as they are cata-
logged and bookcase provided.

H. w. Otis has been selected by the
fruitgrowers Of the Northwest to head
the selling department Of the fruitgrow-
ers Of the Northwest. Mr.. Otis, whose
home is at Peshastin, three miles from
Leavenworth, is one OF the successful
fruitgrowers of Wenatchee valley with
many years experience. He combines
with a thorough knowledge and long
experience thoroughgoing honesty, a
liberal education and more than ordi-
nary executive ability. The association
could not have hit upon a man better
fitted for the position.

$500 for Baseball; Not a Cent for
Publicity


The city Of Spokane has raised the
sum of 100000 for publicity purposes,
and our neighboring town Of Wenatchee
expects to raise from $4,000 to $1,000
for the same purpose. What will Lea
wentworth do along this line? Without
a single exception, not town in the
state Of Washington has more TO offer
the homeseeker, the manufacturer, the
workingman with a family who seeks
place to work and earn enough money
to buy a home and help develop the
country.
Recently in twenty-four hours nearly
$500 was raised among the business
men and residents Of this town for the
purpose Of helping to keep up a base
ball game for four months. Of course
this was very generous amount to give
to promote the national game for a few
months during the summer, and if our
citizens were equally as generous in the
promotion Of a public library, Y. NJ.
C. A. building, in the raising Of funds
for publicity purposes, to bring facto-
ries, farmers, fruitgrowers, honeseekers
and all that class that aids in making
the waste places productive, in creating
a payroll, in building up an intelligent
and moral community, then indeed this
would be community TO be proud OF.
Baseball furnishes fine sport and rec
reation for a large portion Of the com
munity; but will It bring factory TO
this place? VIII ii make two acres
produce apples next year where only
one grew last year? VIII il help in
any way 10 develop our natural re-
sources? VIII it bring orr advantages
to the notice Of the homeseeker and
investor? Does it promote intelligence
and morality? Besides furnishing sport
for those who enjoy the game il devel-
ops the back, the legs, the muscles.
In bending all our energies to the de-
velopment Of our heels, and paying no
attention to the other end Of our anat-
omy, are We pursuing the best and
most wise course? Last summer We
spent about the same amount for base
ball. Last year Wenatchee raised
S35, 900 for a Y. NJ. c. A. building,
$4,000 for public library and like
sum for publicity purposes.
It is also quite true that Wenatchee
did not give so much money to her
baseball team, and the Leavenworth
boys had the honor Of beating them.
Did the honor or the notoriety bring a
new industry or new settler? Is this
thought worthy Of serious consideration
by our business and professional men?
With greater natural advantages as a
location for factories, with thousands Of
acres Of undeyeloped lands equally pro-
ductive, and vastly cheaper, the towns
in the lower end Of the valley have yet
outstripped US in the race Of develop
ment.
It is not necessary to omit baseball
from our activities in order to get what
is coming TO US; but il is necessary to
devote at least as much time and
money TO the things that make for
growth and development. for education
and morality, as we devote to athletics
if We hope to keep up to other towns
in the march Of progress.
