State Trying to Recover Land

Before the supreme court of Wash
ington there is pending a case of the
state against Edward R. Whitney, in
which the state is trying to get the
title to some land to which Whitney
holds patent from the government and
which he has settled upon. The state
makes the claim that as the land is
school land that the government had no
right to pass title to any one other than
the state. This is a very important
case as it will decide as to whether the
state can force the government to grant
it 500, 1000 or more acres of land in lieu
Of the school land which was once
granted to the state but which the
government has taken back and given
to private individuals, and it will prob
ably be taken TO the United States
supreme court.

News from 0. {. Kenyon

The following news item from a De-
troit paper will be Of interest to the
many friends of Mr.. Kenyon who has
large property intesests here.
Flint, Mich, Nov. 29.-Itis assured
that another manufacturing industry
will be added to the city's lis; through
the organization of company to man
ufacture the Briggs sugar beet topper
and litter, two machines which are the
invention of Frank Briggs, of Caro-.
The negotiations between 0. E. Ken
yon, financial backer for Briggs, and
the board of commerce have resulted
in the appointment OF committee Of
the latter to complete the plan of or
ganization. The company will have a
capital stock Of $4,000, and the man
end will probably be in
charge of local man. The machines
have been demonstrated on several
beet fields here and are pronounced a
success by machine experts.

"DiyOrcOns, or Let Us Divorce"

The announcement Of May Roberts
and her company coming to Leaven-
worth is a pleasure for May Roberts
has the name Of being the best that
visits US, and we have the information
that this season she comes stronger and
bigger than ever before for the comp
any supporting her in Sardou's great
comedy, DivoTcons we're all selected
for the Alaska tour, which she has just
completed, and Alaska demands the
best. Divorcons is one OF the most
snappy sparkling comedies written,
based upon the divorce question. The
situations embodied in it are great
for the wife contemplating getting a
divorce, instead Of finding her husband
irate finds him willing to assist in every
way and instead of wanting the sepera-
ton, she suddenly finds out she is in
love with him. The restaurant scene
in the last act is a scream, and never
fails to make every one say Divorcons
is the greatest comedy on the road.

M. & M. COMPANY
Expert Mining Engineer Makes Assay
Showing Value of Ore

F. S. Earnest, a mining engineer of
Spokane who recently became inter
ested in property at Blewett had heard
Of the Globe properties on Niger
creek and told Mr.. Fisher he would
examine his property and tell him what
he thought Of it. Some two weeks ago
while returning from Blewett he went
out Of his way several miles in order to
investigate the property Of the Globe
Mining and Milling company and took
six samples of the ore from different
portions Of the workings. In letter
received from Mr.. Earnest a few days
ago he says: Sample No. /, from the
lower tunnel ran 81 per cent in quick
silver; sample no. from angle of ledge
above tunnel gave 6 per cent; sample
No. 8, from the open cut, 1419 per
cent; sample No 4, about 100 feet
above open cut, 1917 per cent; sample
No. 5, from 100 feet above No. 4, 7
per cent; sample No. 6, 800 feet above
No. 5, 81 per cent. Sample No. l
I did not consider fair as here the tun-
mel is practically of the ledge and what
I took was mostly country rock. This
is one Of best quicksilver propositions
I have ever seen. I have visited and
examined the famous Almadin quick
silver mine in California and a num-
Der Of Others in Old Mexico.

.K.P.'S GO TO CASHMERE
Assist in the Installation of a New Lodge
in the Great Apple Valley

Fourteen members of the local order
Of Knights of Pythias left here on No.
last Saturday evening for Cashmere
where they, with thirty-odd members
of the order from Wenatchee, assisted
in the institution of a lodge at that
place. Twenty members joined by
card and sixteen new members were
taken in by iniation.
The visitors were most generously
and Hospitality entertained. Those
Cashmere fellows have reputation for
hospitality and they surely played up
to their part last Saturday. The
members from this place returned Sun
day morning. Those in the party were
Chancellor Commander Rutherford,
M. E. Can, Butler Sampson, F. NJ.
Lee, E. T. Stewart, Harry Maston, DR..
Judah, Ed Mahoney, Burt Brown,
Harry Osborne, R. F. Templin, \. D.
Pepler, Deed H. Magyar and Mr..
Betzen.
On Monday night after the regular
order of business the members OF the
Leavenworth lodge enjoyed one OF those
quiet affairs OF which the boys have
had several in the past. ]. E. Grant
donated a fine turkey which Mrs. G.
A. Hamilton reduced to that state
which makes this American bird only
less famous than the emblem of liberty
on Uncle Sans coin, and twice as
tempting to one with epicurean tastes.
Harry Osborne in some mysterious and
occult manner produced hot mince pies
at just the right mement while clam
nectar brewed by Mr.. Grant more than
took the place of coffee. Other good
things to eat appeared as if by the arts
of the magician until there was varied
and bounteous spread. The next hour
after lunch was spent in singing old
familiar songs with piano accompani-
ment. A very enjoyable evening was
spent and each member present voted
in favor of repeating the program before
the winter is over.

Back to the Country" /"

The Portland Commercial club has
discovered real problem. 1t is the
fact that the country population is not
increasing as fast as the city popula-
ton. During the past decade the city
population has increased 101 per cent
while the rural districts show a gain of
only % per cent.
It is safe to say that that unhealthy
condition is not confined to Oregon.
c. c. Chapman, Manager Of the Port
land Commercial club says concerning
the showing, I'VE are facing the gravest
problem of the generation for if we can
get people on the soil, many of our
troubles will settle themselves. How
to get the landless man on the manless
land" he thinks is the great work for
the commercial organization of the
country. These are grave and serious
facts. The allurements of the city are
powerful on the surface but real pros
perity, contentment and independence
comes to him who works the soil.
This is fast age and the desire for
convenience and luxuries is very great
and not altogether condemnable. We
venture that the solution to the prob
lem lies in making country life more
attractive. The rural delivery and the
telephone have gone far in this direc-
ton. Good roads, the automobile,
electric lines and the subdivision OF
farms will go farther. With the in
crease OF small farms will come thicker
population and as a result better So
ciety. The back to the country
movement is a most important one. A
few acres of land insures an indepen-
dence, eliminates the rush and strain
and cramps of city life, lowers the cost
Of living and affords time for culture
and social intercourse that pell-mell
city life does not. To convince the
people of this fact is the problem.

A Promising Apple

The most remarkable exhibit being
made at the Fourth National Apple
Show at Spokane consisted of four
plates of The Chelan," says the Che
Ian Leader. This is a new variety be-
ing exploited by the Columbia Okan-
ogan nursery company of Chelan. The
history of the apple reads like ro-
nance, but the most astounding thing
about the exhibit in Spokane is that
these four plates of fruit are over three
years old, having been picked in the
fall Of 1908 and put in storage the fol-
lowing spring.
The nursery company claims that
The Chelan' is the greatest keeper
OF any variety yet discovered. 1t far
outstrips the winesap and has better
taste in June than in March or April.
So much confidence have Snyder and
Gossman, proprietors of the nursery,
in their new apple, that they have
planted 80 acres of it at Moses Lake
and plan to set out 100 acres more Of
this variety next spring.
About 81 years ago an indian named
John Wapato planted handful of ap-
pie seeds expecting to grow some ap-
pie trees. This was near the shores OF
lake Chelan and one tree that grew
among lot Of thorny, scrubby and
worthless seedlings, produced an apple
Of such superior excellence that it was
named THE Chelan" and became the
progenitor OF the variety which now
seems destined to outrank all other va
rieties in bidding for the worlds favor.
In appearance it resembles the Win
ter banana or the grimes golden, being
large, light colored, with slight blush,
but hard and possessed with a thick
and tough skin.

BIG IRRIGATION PROJECT
The Survey For the Proposed Quincy lr-
rigatiOn Canal Is Completed

H. L. Mcdonald of the United
States Geological survey, engineer in
charge Of the preliminary survey for the
proposed Quincy valley irrigation canal,
completed the survey on the east side
of the Columbia river last week. The
area completed this season includes a
strip along the proposed route of the
canal from Winchester westward to
Trinidad and thence northward along
the river to a point two miles north Of
the junction OF the Wenatchee and
Columbia rivers, the proposed site OF
the great siphon which is to bring
Wenatchee lake water across the gorge
of the Columbia.
The work consisted of a detailed
typographical survey carried up to the
1000 foot elevation, and will supply
the data for an accurare paper location
for this portion of the proposed canal.
From the maps that will be prepared
in Washington, D. c., this winter, the
consulting engineer In charge OF the
Quincy project will be enabled to make
closer estimates of the ultimate cost OF
the work than have been possible here
tofore. The approximate location OF
the canal itself. the location and mag
nitude OF siphone, tunnels, trestle
fumes, hillside fumes, and open ditch,
together with the character of material
along the route may all be determined
with comparative accuracy from the
survey. The area and character OF the
irrigable lands which will come under
the ditch, lying up the Columbia river
from the Quincy valley proper are also
shown.
The work of the United States Geo
logical survey in the district this season
also includes a stream profile of the
Wenatchee river from Lake Wenatchee
to its junction with the Columbia and
a detailed typographical survey of the
Lake Wenatchee reservoir site. This
work was in charge of Thos. H. Mon
cure, of Washington, D. c.
During the past thtee seasons the
engineers of the United States Geolog-
ical surveys have made detailed topo-
graphical surveys of approximately
twelve thousand square miles Of iTiga-
bic land which may be brought within
the Quincy project, embracing the area
between Moses lake and the Columbia
river, and from Grab creek on the south
to the hills lying north of the Great
Northern Ry. From these surveys the
distribution of the water after it has
been delivered to the area by the pro-
proposed high line canal, may be easily
worked out.

until two or three days before election
she made a remarkably good race.
Some men have not yet outgrown their
prejudice against women holding Office
and doubtless this cost her some votes.
The vote cast last Tuesday was not
so large as the vote at the primary
election on Nov. 4. On Tuesday the
vote on the north side stood at 223,
while the south side fell short with only
217, or some thirty less than were cast
Nov. 4. About four o'clock it began
to snow and continued until long after
night set in. OF course the socialists
were disappointed at the vote cast for
their ticket. They confidently counted
on electing two or three councilmen
and had some hopes of electing Miss
Peterson clerk.
Messrs. Carlquist, Hamilton, Koer-
ner, Nelson and Hoxsey, respectively
candidates for mayor, clerk, treasurer,
attorney and health officer had no op-
position.

The city election held last Tuesday
proved eminently satisfactory to the
candidates on the citizens ticket. As
will be seen from the tabulated vote
the majorities on the citizens ticket
ranged from rs to over a hundred.
Mr.. Massie who was elected council
man at large was seventh high on the
citizens ticket at the primary in No
vember and was by many supposed TO
be nominated until it developed that
only six could be nominated for the
council and one at large. No one hav-
ing announced for this Office the Office
of councilman at large was left blank
on the official ballot last Tuesday.
Friends of Mr.. Massie worked in his
behalf and by the use of stickers and
where these were not to be had writing
his name on the ballot he won over
Mrs. A. J. Martin by 29 votes out Of
a total Of 440 votes cast. Considering
that Mrs. Martins name was not men
toned in connection with the Office

THE SHERIFFS OFFICE
The Cost of Running the SheriffS Office
in 1910 Was $5,575.40

In all but eleven counties Of the state
the sheriff's cut down their percentage
of fees expended for maintaining the
Office of sheriff in the year 1910 as
compared with 1909, according to
figures prepared by the state bureau oi
inspection taken from statistics gathered
during their work of checking the yari-
Gus county offices. Chelan county was
one of these in which the percentage was
decreased, as in 1910 6o8.62 per cent.
was expended while in 1909 the per
centage expended was 7o0.35. The
amount of fees and mileage collected
in Chelan county was S7o8.45 and it
cost SIS, SIS. 40 to run the sheriff's Office
while in 1909 the fees collected amoun-
ted to S570.30 and the cost of conduct
ing the sheriff's Office was $4,505.4O.
Altho the cost of maintaining the
Office was more in 1910 than 1909,
still better showing was made as the
amount of fees collected was so much
more.

Kid BAND BANQUETTFD
The Boys, Their Parents and Friends Sit
Down to Royal Feast tuesday Night

While the parents Of all the boys took
part in preparing for their entertain
ment treat they will long remember
DR.. Hoxsey and his estimable wife
were the prime movers in the affair
which was pulled of in Firemen's hall
Tuesday evening. The Doctor con-
tributed to the feast his prize winning
turkey which weighed when dressed "a
pounds, besides a lot of other good
things. George Hoxsey is the tallest
member of the kid band and Edwin the
smallest. The former over six feet,
tho not eighteen years old.
All the Kids together with their par
ents and few friends met at Firemen's
hall at s o'clock Tuesday evening
where was prepared for their entertain
ment one of the most successful and
elaborately prepared banquets ever seen
in Leavenworth. The event was to
celebrate the victory of the Kids a: the
recent Spokane National Apple Show
where they were awarded the prize in
the juvenile band contest against COM
ers from three states. Now tables do
not groan, as the reporter in the Bing-
vile Bugle said in his report on the
"Doings at Squire Hooppole's, down
in Coon holler," but if tables could
groan, and it was not impolite to emit
lugugubrious sounds those tables would
certainly have made noise last Tues
day evening at the Kids banquet, for
they were loaded, and then some. The
reporter from this paper was there, and
right glad he was-glad on the double
count, because it was nice to be asked
10 take part in the cheer which was dis
pensed and glad because the event was
to celebrate triumph by the Kid Band,
OF which we are all proud. If the VIC
tory and the celebration shall serve to
spur the boys on to redoubled effort no
one will regret the time or money spent
on the boys.
There was to be some speaking after
the banquet but somehow the crowd
scattered and those who were to talk to
the boys left the hall, all save Prof. Nc
Daniel, who has devoted much OF his
time to bringing the band up to its
present standard. Mr.. Mcdaniel made
a good, sensible talk, giving the boys
and their parents some good advice.
Following are the names of the boys
who attended the banquet: Prof. James
Mcdaniel, leader; Edwin and George
Hoxsey, John Rust, Fritz Nelson, Tom
Davis. Art and Hugo Kringel, Merritt
Hagler, Harold Woldenberg, Robert
Hood, Gerald Mccoy, Basil Johnson,

When the supreme court granted a
new trial to Axel Mist, convicted OF
second degree murder for killing a
policeman in Seattle, it laid down the
rule that death bed statement cannot
be used as evidence against the third
person. In the Mist case a shooting
ARRAY took place between the police
and Mist and his partner. John Ford, in
which a policeman was killed and Ford
was mortally wounded. A statement
was made incriminating Mist by Ford
on his death bed, but this statement
the supreme court says should not have
been used against him.
