Merchants Doing a Rushing Business

The local merchants are all doing a
rushing business now and many report
sales greater than at any period during
long term Of years. The people all
appear to have money and are buying
literally in all lines and many of those
who have outstanding obligations are
meeting them promptly. There is no
part of the state where there are more
evidences of prosperity and more con-
tentment among the people than here.
There are some who since Wilson'S
election has been assured have been
going around hollering about the hard
times that will come soon, but sem
sible man doesn't believe this rot.
Wilson will make a good president and
good times are going to continue, and
furthermore this city is going to con-
tinue to grow and be prosperous. So
don't be calamity bowler.

Cashmere Will Have Cluster Lights

According to the Record of Cash
mere, the city council Of that city at
their last meeting ordered lights to
be installed thruout the business dis
trict. These lights are to be in clus-
tiers of three mounted on an iron lamp
post. There is to be twenty eight in
all. The town will supply the current
free Of cost and the property owners
will be expected to pay for the lights
which when installed will cost about
$35 each.
Now that Leavenworth has the main
streets paved, the next thing that is
needed is cluster lights. But the first
thing we need is municipal light
plant, it would mean saving of thou
sands OF dollars to the city annually
and would permit the lighting up OF
the city to better advantage without
additional cost.

big quantity of gold bearing ore and
that the assays run $24 in gold to the
ton. The property is located on what
is known as Burnt Creek. There is a
ten stamp mill on the ground which
will be in operation turning out the
yellow stuff before spring says Mr..
Losekamp. Several big offers for the
property which will run into six figures
have been made but he says it isn't

The Day of Miracles is Past

Many progressives really thought
that Col. Roosevelt would be elected
president. That the earnest wish that
this might be the result of Tuesdays
election was father to the thought is
too true to require verifcation from US.
Upon sober reflection this devoutly
wished for result could not be ex-
pected short OF the miraculous happen
ing. The Coloneps followers forget
ting for the time that the day of mira
Giles passed with the resurrection, over
nineteen hundred years ago. Nothing
daunted, tho, his supporters see vic
tory in defeat. That political party
in country as large as ours, with a
population Of hundred million,
should have its birth, organize and
make fight against five parties al
ready in the field, one Of which dates
back to the foundation Of the govern
ment and has elected more. than
half score OF presidents. while an
other was organized in 1856 and has
elected every president since 1860
with two exceptions, we repeat, a
party that can do this inside OF ninety
DAYS and take second place has really
gained victory. 1t has made for
itself a permanent place in Amerl-
can politics. At the time the pro-
gressive party was organized at Chi
cago, in August last, the democratic
and republican parties had well Or
ganized campaign machine with am
pie funds. The election laws OF the
various states favored those parties
which had record vote making it diff
ficult in some states and impossible in
