Billy Fowler climbed down from one

TO wonder Milan and Griffith were
peeved. Milan had grabbed three sacks
and might have showed the tally up to
six before the end. Griff had a game

In the very hrst inning Moerer laid
down a bunt that shower up the long

Honor to Cleveland.

They scrapped for the honor of being
the first to defeat the Nationals in the
West out in Cleveland as follows: Lest
we forget, 1t wasn't the Detroit Tigers
who administered to the sassy Senators
their first beating on Western soil this
season. Griff's Gladiators made a flying
trip from the Capital to Cleveland on
Sunday, May L. and fell before the
Maps. s to l. The Tigers win over the
Nationals on July 81 was the second re-
verse of 1912 for Griff's team on West
ern territory. not the first. The Maps
have received so little praise this year
that historiaps and fans mustn't deny
them the honor of being the first team
to trim Johnson, Gandil & Co. in this
section"

A game lost.

40 all intents and purposes yester-
Gays rain robbed the Nationals Of a
game, for the team was hitting well and
appeared to have the jump on the
Browns. Six hits had been rung I'D in
three innings and there was no telling
where the Griffmen would stop. A two
run lead looked good. good enough to
win under the conditions and as the Red
sox managed to win out against the
Tigers the game might as well be count
ed as lost.

NELSON GETS FIVE
TO FIFTEEN YEARS
His Violent Temper Given as the Cause
for His Rash Act. Intends to
Reform

John Nelson the nineteen year-old
boy who shot Marshal Pratt in the
leg on the 2oth inst while resisting ar
rest, plead guilty to assault in the first
degree last Saturday afternoon and
received an indeterminate sentence Of
five to fifteen years in the Walla Walla
penitentiary. Nelson explained to
Judge Grimshaw that he had violent
temper which he was unable to con-
troll and believed that Walla Walla
would be the best place for him where
he would be compelled to work
straight and control his temper. He
told the Judge that he intended to
brace up and be a better man on his
release from the penitentiary.
Sheriff Ferguson has written to the
warden of that institution, explaining
Nelson's case and has asked him to
take special pains to give the man
proper surroundings and place around
prisoners of the better class.
On good behavior Nelson will likely
get his release in five years.

The new proprietors Of the Over

provements in the service which has
met with approval and intend to cater
to the best trade, hoping to recover
the ground which was lost by the
former management and add a long
list OF new patrons.

NORTHWEST DEVELOPMENT
LEAGUE SPECIAL
Passed Thru Here Wednesday on Way
to Seattle-EnthusiastiC Over We
natChee Valley

The ten coach special bearing the
eastern delegates to the four days ses-
sion held in Seattle this week stopped
here more than an hour Wednesday to
pick up some twenty OF the party who
made the trip thru the valley from We
natchee in autos. Those who were
given the opportunity to see the val
ley at close quarters expressed un-
bounded enthusiasm, and remarked
that it was the most wonderful fruit val
ley they had ever seen. The dele
gates came from Minnesota. North and
South Dakota, Idaho, Montana and
Eastern Washington. The develop
ment congress opened Wednesday and
will close Saturday. The delegates
from the Leavenworth Commercial
Club are R. E. Field, o. S. Sampson,
Deed H. Magyar and L. w. Woodrow.
Messrs. Field and Woodrow left Thurs
day and Deed H. Magyar left Thursday
night.
A unique feature of the excursion
train was a daily paper. The Seven
States Sun, which was printed on the
train every day. A complete printing
plant, the press operated by an cleo
trio motor, was installed in the bag
gage car, which was visited by re-
porter for this paper on the invitation
of Mr.. E. c. Leedy, general emigration
agent for the Great Northern Railway, a
department of the railway which. by
the way, is doing much good in the
way of attracting immigration to the
great northwest.

ANNUAL PICNIC OF
THE OLD SETTLERS
Will Be Held on the Association Grounds
at Monitor June 21-23

The Old Settlers annual picnic and
reunion will be held on the association
grounds at Monitor Friday, Saturday
and Sunday, commencing June 21st.
The picnic marks the tenth anniversary
of the formation of the association and
all of the members present on the
above date will have resided in the
Wenatchee Valley twenty years or
more. To be eligible to membership
in the Old Settlers Association one
must have resided in the valley prior
October IS, 1892. However, there
is a provision in the constitution of the
association that anyone living in the
state before that date and afterwards
moving to this valley may join the as
sociation.
At meeting OF the trustees in We
natchee last Saturday preparations for
the picnic were made and committees
appointed to get things in shape for
a big time. There will be dancing,
ball games, speaking and other out
door sports.
Owing to considerable agitation in
favor of increasing the membership,
which now totals about two hundred,
it is very probable that the proposition
to advance the date of arrival in the
state five years will be taken up at this
meeting. Under this change anyone
arriving here prior to October IS,
1897, would be eligible to member
ship.
A large number of local people are
members of the association and it is
expected that large crowd will attend
from here.

The Law of the Road

Complaints have been made to this
Office that drivers OF autos, some OF
them from Leavenworth and others
from the lower valley, by people liv-
ing in the vicinity of Peshastin, to the
effect that auto drivers are reckless and
take more than their share of the road
in passing teams on the road between
here and Peshastin. One auto driver
from the lower valley compelled a
man driving wagon with his wife and
children in the vehicle to back down
a dangerous hill in order to allow the
auto to pass. Another, a Leavenworth
driver, told boy to get out OF the
road or he would take his wheel off.
Drivers Of machines ought to know
that they have just as much right to
the road as any one else and no more.
The driver OF team is not compelled
to get out of the road to allow an auto
to pass around in front of the team.
If the driver of an auto wants to pass
wagon on the road he must get out OF
the road himself. To hit vehicle or
team in trying to pass in front would
subject the driver to fine and claim
for damages.

MT. VERNON LOSES
TWO GAMES HERE
WenatChee Here Sunday For the Sev-
enth Game of the Series

The poorest exhibition Of baseball
yet seen this summer was put up by
the much reputed Mt. Vernon team
last Saturday and Sunday. Small
crowds were present on both days
which clearly demonstrates the fact
that an outside team is not much OF a
drawing card.
Souder, who caught for the locals
last year, was with the visitors and was
the life OF the team, besides getting
five hits to his credit in the two games.
But as a catcher he was a failure and
unless he improves he will soon be in
the has-been class.
Jones, the visitors crack twirler, was
used in Sundays game and it was
thought that the hits off him would be
few, as the day before he had held
Wenatchee to three hits, but the locals
found him in the first inning and his
choicest offerings were pounded to all
corners OF the lot. However, he stuck
to his job and by the close of the
ninth had allowed II hits, and the
locals had piled up Is runs to the Wis
itors D.
Stevens, who came all the way from
Snohomish to pitch the game, had the
Mt. Vernon bunch at his mercy and
but for several errors in succession
would have had shutout.
Sunday the locals will clash again
with the Wenatchee bunch and the
game promises to be an exciting one.
The Red Apple town has won out of
E games to date and is figuring pretty
strong on grabbing the coming oner
But they (might) be disappointed.
Following is the score for both the
Saturday and Sunday games:

Shortening Road to Lake WenatChee

John Stopple who was in town this
week says he has been engaged for
the past few weeks in opening new
road from Chiwaukum to Lake Wenat-
chez. He has completed eleven miles
of the road, which will follow the We
natchee river instead OF the railroad in
leading out from Chiwaukum and will
connect with the old road about three
miles from the foot Of the lake. He
also says he is engaged in laying out,
or planning, road from Leavenworth
to Lake Wenatchee which will shorten
the distance fully five miles. The road
he plans will go up the Chumstick val
ley to the Brender school house and
from there to the Wenatchee river, a
distance of one mile, by the old tote
road, which can be made on an easy
grade by little work, and then follow
the Chiwaukum road to the lake.
This would require, Of course, bridg-
ing the Wenatchee river, which, in
addition to shortening the road to the
lake, would open to settlement a
large body of fine land which is tribu-
tary to Leavenworth, some of which is
being irrigated by the Wenatchee Park
Land and Irrigation Co.

Gasoline Car Wreck Caused by Dog

A fox terrier belonging to ]. E.
Grant was the cause of a wreck Tues
day evening between five and six
o'clock by which o. ]. Schmoker had
his leg broken above the ankle and E.
Talbot and T. H. Mullen were badly
bruised.
Mr.. Talbot, chief operator at the
G. N. Electric power plant, two miles
up the canyon left town for the scene
of their work with his assistants, Null
lin and Schmoker, in one of those
gasoline cars used by railroad men in
making short trips over the road. A
short distance from the power plant
small dog ran under the car throwing
it off the track. DR.. Hoxsey was called
by phone and attended the injured
men and brought Mr.. Schmoker to
the hospital where he will be for the
next six weeks or more.
In addition to having his leg broken
he was badly bruised all over his body
but it is not thought seriously injured.
Strange to say the dog escaped
without injury and trotted off as if
nothing had happened.

Recalling the Commerce Court

For some time it has been evident
that the Commerce Court was either
useless or injurious. If the supreme
court settles the law in favor of the
Interstate Commerce Commission in
the important cases wherein the new
tribunal overrules the commission, the
court will be harmless and superfuous.
If its assumption that it has power vir-
tually to supercede the commission
whenever it pleases should be upheld,
the commission will become merely a
body for collecting statistics, investi-
eating and recommending; while, for
most practical purposes, control over
railroad rates and practices will be
vested in a bench which proposes to
exercise that control only within COM
paratively narrow limits. We think
the record shows that public interests
in respect to transportation are safer in
the hands OF the Interstate Commerce
Commission than in those OF the Com
merce Court. If they are to remain
in the hands Of the commission, why
the court And if they are not, why
substitute the less efficient body for
the more efficient one.
President Taft has a strange notion
that divinity doth hedge a court.
Sacred" Ark of the Covenent," +"
'Sacrilege," are terms he uses in
speaking Of the judiciary. To most
persons a court is merely an organ Of
proiane government. This particular
organ has met no public need and has
developed decided possibilities Of pub
lie harm. The House was quite right
in voting to abolish it.-Saturday Eve

ADJOURNED MEETING
OF THE CITY COUNCIL
T.L.& W. Co. Declines to Take $4,000,
But Will Sell for SIS, 300

When the city council met in ad-
journed session Tuesday evening, save
Councilman Massey, all the members
were present.
To the city's proposition to pay
$4,000 for the distribution system OF
the Tumwater Light & Water Co., the
following reply from J. B. Adams,
president of the company, was read
and ordered filed:
To Councilmen Paul Weigand, o. B.
Robertson, ]. E. Schubert, A. Lind
blom:-
Gentlemen:-Answering your offer,
contained in resolution, copy of which
was filed with US May 29th, 1912, for
that part OF our water system lying en-
tirely within the corporate limits oil
the city, excepting the pipe connect
ing with the Darlington Land Co.'S Ad-
dition, beg leave to say that your offer
of $4,000 is so entirely inadequate
that the same cannot be accepted by
this company.
However, as your offer embodies a
new proposition altogether, and con-
templates the city getting its own sup
ply from the Icicle river, which propo-
sition every member of this company
is highly in favor of, if it is possible
for the city to do so with present
available funds, we will make bed
rock price on the part of our system
required to start with, though such a
deal will badly disable our water sys-
TEN, by taking the principal part oi
our revenue and leaving US with sup
ply system on our hands.
Should it be found possible for the
city to get its own supply Of Icicle
river water, in any manner whatsoever,
this company will accept the sum ol
$15,300 for that part OF our system
described in your offer.
Yours very truly,
Tumwater Light & Water Co.,
By ]. B. Adams, Pres.
By vote the council instructed En-
gineer Brown to survey and make an
estimate of the cost of pumping sys-
tenn from the Icicle river and pipe line
and reservoir and distribution water
system for the city of Leavenworth and
have the same ready for the considera
ton of the council at its next meeting.
When the council adjourned it was
understood that there would be no
further meeting until the next regular
meeting, Tuesday evening, June II.

Lawrence Has State Wide Organization

John c. Lawrence, candidate for the
republican nomination for governor,
has perfected his statewide organiza-
ton with headquarters in both Eastern
and Western Washington.
In the naming of his campaign COM
mittee on the west side Mr.. Lawrence
has made a new departure in politics.
Miss Lucy case, sister of Charles R.
Case, President of the State Federation
of Labor, has been announced as Sec
retary of the organization and there
will be no division of the headquar-
tiers.
Mr.. Lawrence has spoken in prac-
tically every city and town in thirty
counties and his statistics regarding
the cost of state government have
shown a most remarkable condition.
IF the people want to reduce the
cost and increase the efficiency OF state
government" says Mr.. Lawrence,
political considerations must be elm
mated. The business Of the state
must be handled on the same basis as
the affairs Of private concerns are con-
Quoted. That is what propose, il
elected, and I feel confident that the
people Of the state will approve Of this
plan at the polls"

WenatChee to Have a First-QaSS Hos
pitaI

Arrangements have been made
whereby the Sprague block, four
story brick building, will be turned
into a hospital. Central Washington
has long needed an institution of this
kind. The hospital will be opened
some time next month and will meet
all the requirements OF frst-class es-
tablishment. 1t is to be equipped
with all the modern appliances and
conveniences for sanitary treatment
and the taking care Of patients.
