We have a very simple hand gun on
each of our boats, by which We can throw
a line over any vessel at a reasonable
distance, he said. 1T is very simple
matter where the distance is not more
than 200 feet. If 1t goes beyond that of

feet under ordinary circumstances and

first Ball Game of the Season

In the first ball game Of the season
between Leavenworth and Wenatchee,
played last Sunday, the locals won by
the score OF 7 to 3. Nearly two hun
dred people witnessed the game and
much of the old time enthusiasm was
shown. The game was snappy from
start to finish and was remarkably free
from errors. The pitching Of Billy
Smith was the feature of the. game.
He moved down the opposing bats
men in Christy Mathewson style. Sew
eral times he got himself into hole
but always managed to get out without
any damaging results. Billy Wunder,
backstop for the locals, also played a
brilliant game and scored several runs
by finding the ball at the psychological
moment. A return game will be
played with the visitors in Wenatchee
Sunday, and on the following Sunday
another game will be staged here.
Bob Smith, captain Of the team, is very
enthusiastic over the result OF Sunday S
game and will make an effort to get a
game here every two weeks.

GREAT NORTHERN MAY
OPERATE MOTOR CARS
Railroad Company Plans to Install Inter
urban Service Between This City and
Mansfield-WiIl Stop at All Points

That a gasoline motor car to run be-
tween this city and Mansfield, will be
put on by the Great Northern Railway
in few weeks, was the word given out
last Saturday. At the time the Great
Northern officials, including President
Gray and others, visited this section
several months ago, they were urged
by members of the Wenatchee Com
mercial Club to take up the matter and
give it their consideration, which Mr..
Gray promised to do.
A. C. Dallach, chairman Of the Wen
atchee Clubs transportation committee
received letter Saturday from L. c.
Gilman, assistant to the president, de-
fnitely agreeing to install the service
Immediately. He further stated that
several Of the officials Of the company
would arrive in Wenatchee sometime
during this week to confer with the
representatives of the commercial clubs
of all the towns to be served and to
discuss schedule for the motor car
service. e. 81
The installation of the new train ser
vice was due entirely to the efforts ex-
tended by the Wenatchee Commercial
Club, which expects delegates from all
the points between Leavenworth and
Mansfield at some time in the near fu-
ture to meet and arrange a schedule.

to the assistance OF the girls and help

your wants, and we will give you votes

lady by cutting out the free votes
which will appear in the Echo until the

18th the winner of the contest will be
announced in the Echo Of June 18th

purpose Of presiding at hearing in
the case Of Miss Josephine Larson VS..
the Leavenworth School Board. Miss

investigation upheld the board in their
action. The case was then appealed
to the state superintendent who up

here inspecting a fruit ranch in the
Chumstick valley in which he with
Capt. Mcfarland and others are inter-
ested. There are some thirty acres in
the most choice varieties of apples
which will come into bearing within
the next two years. Mr.. Best referred
to the need of hotel by saying IF

have brought my family and left them
here for few weeks for a change Of

COUNCIL CONSIDERS
BARTENDERS' LICENSE
Ordinance Will be Voted on at Next
Neutrality-suspicious. VIII Soon Be Able
to Open their Doors on Sunday

At the next meeting Of the city
council, Tuesday evening, an ordinance
will come up licensing bartenderS, and
in all probability the fee will be IS per
month for each mixologist with $40
minimum for each saloon. The ques-
ton arose last Tuesday evening when
the bill of E. A. Woods for $25 as
deputy marshall came before the coun-
Gil. Several weeks ago Mr.. Wood,
who also acts as deputy sheriff, was put
on the city police force with the un-
derstanding that he was to receive 500
per month from the city in addition to
what he got from the county for acting
as deputy sheriff. While the need OF
another police officer was recognized.
the council did not believe they could
afford to pay the salary OF another man
and at this time Charles Mischke,
councilman, arose from his seat and
said the saloon men would be willing
to contribute the 500 month, which
would mean an assessment of $40 a
month from each saloon man. This
plan was perfectly satisfactory to the
councilmen, and Mr.. Woods was put
to work, being on duty between the
hours of twelve o'clock, noon, and
midnight. Since that time it seems
that all OF the money from the saloon
keepers amounting to $50 has not been
forth coming, and the city was asked
to pay the balance.
Putting tax of IS month on every
barkeeper in the city was suggested as
means of raising the money necessary
for the hire Of another police officer,
and as this seemed to meet with the
approval Of the councilmen, City Attor-
ney Nelson was instructed to prepare
an ordinance covering the matter and
present it at the next meeting, at which
time it will be voted upon.
The pool room ordinance which has
been hanging fire for several weeks was
disposed of on the same evening and
in the future the poolrooms will be al
lowed to run on Sunday. 1t has been
nearly a month since the petition, car
rying nearly 200 names, was handed
to the council asking that they open
these places on Sunday, and when the
city directors met on Tuesday evening
two ordinances providing for the open
ing OF the poolrooms on Sunday were
on hand. One of the ordinances was
prepared by City Attorney Nelson and
the other as Mr.. Hamilton stated was
handed him by one of the petitioners.
The amusing part of the incident was
that the contributed ordinance, which
was no doubt sent in for the purpose
of opening the poolrooms, read in such
manner that it would have had the
opposite effect. The city attorneys
ordinance was adopted.
To protect the city from damages
which might result from teams or auto
mobiles running into open bitches and
other dangerous places caused by pub
lie work the water commissioner was
instructed to have danger signs printed
which are to be posted about town.
The map of the Lindsay addition
and the Bauman addition, both recent
ly plated, came before the council for
their acceptance, the former being ac-
tcepted and the latter laid over for cor
rection.
