The Goodleys have sailor son, who
on one occasion brought home parrot

sake of the donor-on no other ac-
count would it have been given house
room. OF course, 1t was perfectly
respectable Enthusiastically; but on
Sunday evenings, when young Mr..
Sanity paid his regular visit, 1t was
deemed advisable to cover Polly with
q cloth.
Recently. however. Mr.. S. took ad-
vantage of half-holiday accruing to
him, and made an extra call on the
Wednesday. AS he was ushered in
Miss Mary Cooley dextrously threw
the cloth over Polly's cage. Greet
ings over, there ensued the usual awk-
ward pause, which was broken by a
sQuawk from the covered cage.

A DOCTORS TRIALS.

Even doing good to people is hard

An overworked Ohio doctor tells his
experience:
about three years ago as the result
of doing two mems work, attending q
large practice and looking after the
details of another business. my health
broke down completely, and l was
little better than a physical wreck.
81 suffered from indigestion and con-
stipation, loss of weight and appetite.
bloating and pain after meals, loss of
memory and lack of nerve force for
continued mental application.
II became irritable, easily angered
and respondent without cause. The
hearts action became irregular and
weak, with frequent attacks of palpi-
tation during the first hour or two
after retiring.
Some GrapeNuts and cut bananas
came for my lunch one day and
pleased me particularly with the re-
suit. I got more satisfaction from 1t
than from anything l had eaten for
months. and on further investigation
and use, adopted Crape-Nuts for my
morning and evening meals, served
Usually with cream and a sprinkle of
ialt or sugar.

Deadly Enemies of Forest Trees Can Be
Controlled

Throughout the Pacific slope and
Rocky mountain regions grow the larg-
est and most valuable coniferous tree
species of the world; the pines, the
spruces, the Douglas fir, the balsam
frs, the hemlocks, the cedars, and the
Sequoias (redwoods). Each Of these
has at least one insect enemy which
has killed trees in the past and is
actually doing so today.
Insect Damage to Standing Timber
in the National Parks" is the title Of a
paper read by an expert of the bureau
Of entomology, U. S. Department oi
Agriculture, before the conference oi
National park superintendents held un-
der the auspices of the Secretary Of the
Interior on September 11-12, 1911,
and issued as Circular 143 of the Bureau
Of Entomology. In this circular sum-
mary is given of the damage caused by
little group of tree destroying"
beetles, and of the practical methods
of controlling them, resulting from the
investigations of the Bureau of Entom-
ology.
In national forests where there was
no evidence Of destructive fires for the
last twenty years it was found that
the standing and fallen dead yellow
pine that had died within that period,
and which had heretofore been consid-
cred as a natural and inevitable forest
condition, represented in board feet
nearly half as much timber as was then
living. Every dead tree examined in
this estimate showed evidence that il
had been killed by insects.
An ireparable loss was caused from
an aesthetic point Of view in 1o04-'05
by the death through the attack of the
mountain pine beetle, of the three
giant sugar pines on the trail from
Wawona to Glacier Point and the Yo-
semitic Valley. The veteran sugar pine
known as Uncle Tom," along the
road entering the park, was also killed
by this beetle.
The fact that it is plainly shown thai
this waste Of natural resources can be
prevented must interest not only the
officials of our national and state park:
and forests but every owner Of timber
large and small.

A Woman for State Land Commissioner

Mrs. Maud E. Tamblin, for the past
ten years an employe of the state land
Office, at present Secretary of the State
Land Board, has announced her candi-
dacy for the important Office Of state
land commissioner on the republican
ticket, to succeed E. w. Ross. Mrs.
Tamblin has been a resident OF Olym-
pia for twenty-one years, coming from
Wisconsin. She is a widow, her hus-
band having died. Previous to enter
ing the land Office she was a court re-
porter and has thus gained consider
able knowledge OF the laws applicable
to public lands. At the last session of
the legislature her work was COM
mended by the committee which in
vestigated the land Office. She was
one of the important speakers at the
recent women's good roads meeting in

Electrical Pure Food & Industrial fxposi-
ton viii Be Big Event

This years exposition will be held
in Wenatchee February 1928, and will
be one Of the big events Of the year.
Plans are on foot. which contemplate
making it fair that is entirely novel
in its nature in this section OF the coun-
try. Among the kinds Of entertainment
afforded are the following:
Grand street illuminations.
Latest electrical and mechanical in
ventions will be exploited.
Daily demonstration Of all nationally
advertised food products.
Special musical program each day.
Many novel, interesting, educational
and entertaining features of all kinds.
Brass bands, orchestras, street fea-
lures, special shows.
Advertising the resources Of North
Central Washington, the progress along
the lines OF industrial, educational and
commercial activity, demonstrating the
agricultural, horticultural and mineral
possibilities of this section of the state,
the bringing together Of all those in
tensely interested in the development
of Douglas, Okanogan, Grant and
Chelan counties-these are some of the
reasons for the holding of an event Of
this kind. Admission to the public
will be free.
The Columbia & Okanogan steam
boat company has issued rate for the
round trip of one-half of the one way
rate--in other words one-quarter of the
regular charge. The Great Northern
railroad has granted one and one-third
fare for the round trip between Leaven-
worth and Wilson Creek and on the
Mansfield branch.

feasible route, being a gradual down
hill grade from the mines.
The erection Of smelter on the
ground for the economical reduction o
low grade ores will be thoroughly gone
into early in the spring.
Rich. Kleesattle, a widely known
mining engineer, after thorough ex-
animation of this property, compares il
favorably with the Butte, Montana,
properties. In summing up recent
report he says:
THE geological conditions of this
property in regard to ore dispositions
must be considered most favorably. We
have to deal here with deposit in the
sheared zone and we know from the
records that many of our big veins have
been so formed. The earmarks for a
big deposit are in evidence (see assays)
and the alteration and silicifying pro-
cess in the sheared zone under exami-
nation may progress with depth, SO far
as to obIiterate all partitions of the
country rock and reduce the whole OF
at least a greater part Of the sheared
lode to one wide so-called vein"
The opening up of the Vance mine
and its proposed transportation system
will undoubtedly revive interest in min
ing in this distrsct, as there are many
good prospects upon which barely
enough work has been done to hold
them until more favorable conditions
exist.

One of the most enthusiastic Com
mercial Club meetings in some months
was held in the club rooms Monday
night. It was the date for the annual
election of officers and the following
were elected: H. E. Carr, president;
E. P. Sharman, vice president; Joseph
Gangler, treasurer; R. B. Field, o. S.
Sampson, A. G. Mccoy, E. H. Roth
ert and John Koerner, trustees.
The appointing of new committees
was postponed until the next regular
meeting. The new president, who
succeeded R. B. Field, took the chair,
and after several matters of business
were disposed of all members pro-
ceeded to the Overland cafe, where a
banquet had been prepared.
Col. E. H. Fox was chosen as toast
master. Deed H. Magyar was the first
to be called on and made talk on
Organization" He tried to impress
on his hearers the importance Of har-
monious action, and said, however much
we may disagree about politics, the
best method Of supplying the town with
water or build up the subscription list
OF a newspaper. about commercial club
work there is no room for a difference
OF opinion. The club is organized for
the benefit and upbuilding of the COM
munity as a whole. Until the mem
bers can come to the meetings, for the
time leaving out of consideration all
personal feelings, the work cut out for
an organization Of this kind can not
show the best results. The best in
terests Of the town demand that we get
together and work harmoniously for the
general good. In this way only can
any permanent good be accomplished.
The next speaker was Mr.. ]. A.
Hearst, of the Mutual Mercantile Com
pany, who spoke on the conditions in
Alaska, where he lived before coming
to this city.
w. E. Moore, introduced by the
POSTMASTER as the Connie Mack of
baseball in this vicinity, was next on
the program and gave an intesesting
talk on the national game. The re
port of the financial standing of the
ball club was read and he also quoted
from different letters from ball players
from whom he has received letters the
past month, wanting to sign up with
our team. No definite action was
taken in this matter but it is thought
likely that an effort to raise money for
the support Of team will begin soon.
L. J. Nelson was the next to be
called upon, and in his imagination
pictured himself returning to Leaven-
worth fifty years hence, at which time
it will have grown into great metro
politan city. The long tunnel through
the Cascade range from Everett to this
city will have been completed, enab-
ling the traveller to come from Seattle
to this city in two hours time. I'm

alights from the train to meet Col. Fox
on the platform, who offers to take
him on a sightseeing trip over the
city in his auto. Mr.. Nelson is as

taken place in his absence. Where
the building that once housed his
humble law Office stood now towers

business section he desires to view the

up magnificent dwellings. Finally they

Must Tax Fruit TreeS-ArbOr Day April
flood Roads Day April II

Olympia, February 14.-For the pur-
pose Of ascertaining whether April II
is TOO early a date for Good Roads Day,
Gov. M. E. Hay has written a letter
to Fred M. Berry, the engineer Of Che
Ian county, asking his opinion on the
subject, and he has also written SINH
lar letter to the county engineers OF
the other counties Of the state, and if
their opinions are favorable he will
designate Friday, April II, as Good
Roads Day, and as Arbor Day has been
proclaimed as April II, the two days
will be observed one afte5 the other.
This plan is favored by H. B. Dewey,
state superintendent OF public instruc
ton, who says that he wishes to have
the schools of the state interested in
the good roads movement, as we'll as
in the planting Of trees and shrubs.
Gov. hay has promised to be out on
the roads doing his share Of improve
ment, as he has accepted the invitation
of Senator F. L. Stewart of Kelso to
spend the day with him and work on
the Cowlitz county roads with the citi-
zens of that county. Gov. Hay thinks
that Good Goads Day should be OBJ
served not by talking good roads but
by actually improving the highways,
and he thinks that every citizen should
be out doing his share in the use of
the shovel, spade and pick, or driving
a team hauling road machinery, dirt or
gravel.
