Supreme Court Decision

1t was held by the supreme court in
reversing the superior court Of Sno-
homish county in the case of liquor
dealer arrested and convicted Of deliver
goods in a broken package" that it is
not necessary for man when he wants
a quart OF whiskey to order a barrel in
order to comply with the local option
law. In the Snohomish county case q
man living in Everett, a dry" town,
ordered some liquor from a dealer in
Snohomish, which is wet" The dealer
filed a demijohn from larger recep,
tacle, and it was claimed he had not
delivered the goods in an unbroken
package. The supreme court held that
ano receptacle holding given amount
with consideration taken for safety in
transportation is a package, but this
does not permit four men to order
barrel Of whiskey put up in bottles and
to divide the bottles each taking the
desired number.

CASHMERE MAN BUYS
Ten ACRE ORCHARD
+. A. Reynolds Sells Tract Two Miles
East of Town

F. A. Reynolds closed a trade with
J. w. Treadwell, Of Cashmere, one day
this week for a ten acre tract of land
set out in one year old apple trees.
The tract is part Of the Sitter place and
lies on the Peshastin road, two miles
from town. The price at which the
land changed hands is $500 per acre
and is considered good buy.
This is the first land trade we have
had to record since the advent of the
new year and indicates what we may
expect when once the winter breaks.
There is a general feeling among land
men that the coming summer will
mark a general revival in business all
along the line and that the inquiry for
land suitable for fruit growing purposes
will be brisk.

Proposition Is Submitted by J. B. Adams to Sell to the City
PRESENTED TO COUNCIL LAST TUESDAY EVENING
Council Consider Matter tuesday, January 3OMOw Close Pool Rooms
and Saloons from II p. m. to 5 a. m.

agreement to lay larger mains on the
north side of the track and install fire
hydrants and extend the water main:
so that all residents would be suppGd
with water excepting in localities where
the lack OF revenue from water would
make it wholly impracticable. He also
made a propo.ition to sell to the town
the entire water system of the Tum-
water Light & Water Company, which
includes the pipe line up the canyon,
the reservoir, and all distribution pipes
the line across the river, and all con-
tracts to deliver water, for considera-
ton Of s45, 1000.
Some twenty citizens were present
at the meeting having heard that the
water question would come up. S. c.
Woldenberg said he was surprised al
the liberal proposition made by Mr..
Adams and was in favor Of the town ac-
cepting the proposition.
Deed H. Magyar said the question
came up so Unexpectedly that he had
not had time to give it consideration.
That some features Of the proposition
looked good, particularly that which IN
dicated that there was possibility OF
the town and the company getting to-
gether and putting an end to a matter
which had in the past caused so much
friction. He urged the council not to
act hastily in the matter. The ques-
ton being one of the greatest import
ance to the people Of Leavenworth ii
was entitled to the most careful and
considerate thought. II any mistakes
had been made by the council in the
past it was due to acting without due
consideration. Nothing could be lost
by taking enough time to give careful
consideration to every feature OF the
water question, while much could be
lost to the people Of the town by act
ing hastily.
The council finally decided to act
as a committee OF the whole and meet
with Mr.. Adams on Tuesday evening,
January 80, and go over the whole mat
ter carefully and report to the council
at some future meeting.

La FOIIettee Has Good Chance

Washington, D. C.-The La Fol
lette boom is punctured only in the
minds of those administration followers
who are most anxious to puncture it
but who have failed to accomplish
their purpose. This is the opinion ex-
pressed by Francis J. Heney, of San
Francisco, who arrived in Washington
today after an extensive lecture tour
of the country.
While travelling through many states
Mr.. Heney has made it his business to
observe political conditions, and his
observations lead him to believe that
Senator LaFollette is the strongest pres
idential candidate before the people.
Senator LaFollette could carry
every state west of the Mississippi by
ten to one." said Mr.. Heney, If the
voters had an opportunity to express
their choice. I have been lecturing
since last summer and I have made it
a point to test public sentiment in
every city I visited. While Senator
La Toilette is the overwhelming favor
ite in the west he is also tremendously
strong in the east, Notwithstanding ef-
forts to convince the country that such
is not the case. I am confident that
the Presidents own state of Ohio will
be for La Toilette, as will also Illinois.
II the nomination were left to the peo-
pie on direct vote many other eastern
states would be for him. If Senator
La Toilette gets the nomination he
will poll a tremendous vote. In addi-
ton to carrying every state west of the
Mississippi he would also carry New
York and Pennsylvania" d"
What is your opinion as to the
statements that the La Toilette boom
on the wane7" Mr.. Heney was asked.
Certain men are trying to convince
themselves that such is the case" re-
piled Mr.. Heney, and they are like
wise trying to convince others on the
same subject. The fact of the matter
is that Senator La Follett is mighty
prominent factor in the race for the
presidential nomination at Chicago and
his chance of getting the nomination
is good. LaFollette would make an
excellent candidate and he would be
elected. The people are demanding
the election Of a president who be-
lieves in the things LaFollette has al
ways stood for.

General Sherwood, of Ohio, indicates
that he is becoming petulant over the
cries of economy raised against the
pension bill, and in an interview this
week he spoke his mind upon some
policies OF the political leaders. He
asks: Did we not recently run into
debt to the tune Of $50, 100000 in
Panama bonds, and did any Of the
journals Of protesting economy issue a
whimper or enter protest against this
$50, 10000 additional debit Has il
come to this, that we can run millions
Of money into debt on a doubtful ex-
pertinent in Panama without whimpei
from cold blooded commercialism,
while the same element is in nervous
panic and agony when it is proposed to
devote a few millions of our surplus
revenues to make comfortable in theii
last days on earth the men who made
the Panama canal a possibility" Gen.
eral Sherwood says, that the pension
bill as it passed the house, will, if en-
acted, cost the treasury some forty
three million dollars.

Political Prospects

It seems pretty cartain now that Col.
Roosevelt will be a candidate for the
presidential nomination. President
Taft will not strike his colors in ad
vance of the convention, it is said, so
there will be pretty trial Of strength
between the two. It seems just now
as if the one who will suffer the most
by the recrudescence of RooseYeltism
WILDE LaFollette. AS for other candi-
dates there are few worth mentioning at
present in the ranks of the republican
party.
Among the democrats the situation
is still unchanged. Wilson, Clark and
Harmon continue to be the most dis
cussed. Bryan has very strong in
huence and it seems to be felt that
without his Endorsement no man can
get the democratic nomination. He
is friendly to Clark, but he has been
somewhat lukewarm toward the Mis-
sourian Of late. Nevertheless, Clark
seems to be growing steadily if gradual
ly, while some OF his rivals are losing
ground. Take it all in all, the situation
is one Of absorbing interest to all stud
ents Of politics.

AFFAIRS AT THE
NATIONAL CAPITAL
Matters Concerning the Law Makers and
Events of Importance

Why not look after the men who
carry the mail along the rural routes,
is question put squarely up to con-
gress by Representative Burton L.
French, of Idaho. who has been the
author of a number OF measures Of ex-
ceptional merit, since he re-entered
congress last March. Mr.. French has
brought the fact to the attention Of
congress that the postmaster general is
authorized under existing laws to pay
two thousand dollars to the family Of a
railway messenger who shall lose his
life in the service, and by bill he has
introduced and which has the approval
OF Fourth Assistant Postmaster General
DeGraw, Mr.. French would do the
common sense thing Of applying the
same benefits to the men on the rural
routes. He reasons that as an en-
ploye Of the government cannot bring
action against the government the
same as the employe Of private in
stitution, it becomes the duty Of the
government to bear its responsibility in
the welfare of the carrier or his family
for injuries or death occurring while
the employe is in the discharge of his
duties" AS farther reason why the
bill should become law, Mr.. French
says that THE rural free delivery carrier
should be placed on the same footing
as the railroad mail messenger" The
French bill carries a provision by
which carriers who are injured shall re-
ceive their salary for the first year Of
their disability.

Good roads is popular topic, always.
A federal convention was held in Wash
ington this week, the spirit OF wich was
to bring about united action for national
legislation. Mr.. Underwood, majority
leader OF the House, was one Of the
speakers and told the delegates that
the policy OF different sections Of the
country, each demanding the adoption
Of different schemes, would never Sc
cure proper legislation. He urged
united action. Speaker Clark and
Representative Borland, Of Missouri,
and many other southern congessmen
addressed the convention. Attention
was directed to the fact that the rail-
ways of the south were advancing the
work, and that the Southern railway
has especially arranged good roads
trains that have travelled thousands oi
miles, and shown good wagon roads
methods in every part OF the south.
Judge J. T. Ronald, of Seattle, con-
tributed an interesting paper reviewing
the progress Of good roads in the
western states Of Washington, Idaho,
Montana, Wyoming, Colorado, ETC.,
and pointed out how the great move
ment could be advanced throuhghoui
the entire country.

There seems to be a hitch in the
matter OF appointments for the new
state of New Mexico. Before Delegate
Andrews went out Of Office he made his
wishes known, and since it is expected
that he will be the first senator from
the new state state, it is quite certain
that in view Of the fact that he and
National Committeeman Luna Me
agreed as to program, that their recon-
mendations will carry the principal
weight given these matters. 1t appears
to be taken for granted that the present
delegate from Arizona, Ralph H. Cam
eron, who was defeated by popular
vote Of about one thousand, in his race
for the senate, due to the socialist
movement, together with his running
mate, Hoval Smith, will control federal
appointments in the new state, and ac-
cording to rumors on Capitol Hill Mr..
Cameron will likely be national COM
mitteeman from the new state.

There is no doubt but that Post
master General Hitchcock made quite
hit with his proposal to annex the
telegraph companies Of the country to
the department over which he so ably
presides; but it is Pertinent to remi-
Miss in specializing as to just what one
Theodore Roosevelt would have done
to a cabinet officer who had broached
such plan to the general public with
out first taking the president into his
confidence. The good-natured Mr..
Taft summoned Mr.. Hitchcock into
conference and speedily forgave him
for his lese-majesty, whereas Teddy
would speedily have boxed his ears.
Mr.. Hitchcocks plan has been taken
up seriously on Capitol Hill, but there
appears to be determination to first
dispose of the parcels post before con-
sidering any further radical innovations
in the post Office department. Assistant
Postmaster General DeGraw is vigorous
championing the department plan for a
parcel post delivery along rural mail
routes, urging that it would among
other things be great revenue produc-
er for the government.

evening in adjourned session only May
or Carlquist and Councilmen Weigand,
Schubert, Mischke and Massie were
present. In the absence Of Clerk
Hamilton, L. j. Nelson, city attorney,
acted as clerk.

auditing Of lot of bills by the finance
committee. The following were ap-

Transfer company, $3.50; Pacific Coast

& Printing company, S12; Rutherford
& Burns, 81; P. A. Snyder, SO; Tum-
water Light & Water company, $254.15;
Rainier Cafe, SIS.
The following resolution was read
and adopted:
Whereas, the question Of municipal
ownership of water was one OF the issues
at the last election, and
Whereas, the question Of better sup
ply Of water for the City of Leavenworth
is being daily discussed, and
Whereas, it is necessary to have a
better supply Of water for the residence
district of Leavenworth in order that
we may have fire protection, and
Whereas, it's advisable to have a
full, clear, and complete understanding
as to the method Of supplying water to
the city Of Leavenworth,
Therefore, be it resolved, it is the
sense of this council that the water
system in the city Of Leavenworth be
owned by the city itself, but that be-
fore a proposition is submitted for the
people Of Leaveaworth to vote upon,
that the council desires to have an ex-
preston OF the people as to the best
method of obtaining water supply and
therefore requests that all who have
any suggestions to make as to the
probable method of getting the supply
of water in order that the city may
have the best water available, and a
good supply, it being the sense OF this
council that the quality Of water to be
deliveaed to the residences is one Of
the most important factors to be con-
sidered, and the next important factor
is the price for which it may be obtained.
The council requests as many written
suggestions from persons interested as
can possibly be submitted within the
next thirty days.
