NEW WEIGAND BUILDING
IS RENTED SAYS OWNER
Four StOrerOOmS Have Been Rented in
Building to be Erected on the Cor
ner of 9th and Commercial

The dirt will commence to fly on
the Weigand building not later than
the 18th of this month, according to a
statement issued by Paul Weigand
this week. OF the four storerooms two
were rented some time ago, one to the
Wenatchee Meat Co., and the other to
the Golden Rule Department Store Co.
This week Mr.. McKenna OF Wenat-
chez closed a deal for one of the
rooms for a bakery and confectionery
store and the remaining room has been
rented, but Mr.. Weigand stated that
at this time he was not in a position
to give the names of the parties.
Mr.. Weigand further stated that the
room for the bakery would be well
ventilated and built in accordance to
the state law governing sanitary condi-
tions. Mr.. McKenna the owner Of the
bakery intends to operate an auto de-
livery to all parts of the city.

BARTfNDERS MUST PAY
ONE DOLLAR LICENSE FEF
Proposed Ordinance to Charge Barten-
ders S. per month is Cut to One
Dollar Ter Year

In the future all parties tending bar
in the city Of Leavenworth must take
out a license before they can go to
work, or be liable to fine, and should
they violate any OF the city ordinances
their license would be revoked and
never more would they be permitted
to work at the same occupation in the
city OF Leavenworth. Some time ago
a proposition came up before the city
dads to tax this class OF labor at the
rate OF $500 a month, which money
was to have been used for the purpose
of paying the salary of an extra mar
shall. Most Of the councilmen were
of the belief however that this would
be an exorbitant sum, and after con-
siderable discussion it was finally de-
cided to make the fee one dollar a
year.
This ordinance will protect the
owner OF the saloon to a certain ex-
tent and will make the bartender more
careful in the performance Of his duties,
as he might at any time have his IL
cense revoked and be out OF job.

KID BAND GIVEN LEMON
AT WENATCHEF WEDNESDAY
After Inviting Boys Down They Could
Find no Room in Band Stand or
Place on Program

Our Kid Band was invited to come
to Wenatchee Wednesday to take part
in the commercial club exercises.
They accepted the invitation and ad-
vised the committee that they would
arrive there at 8 o'clock which would
give them time to take part in the
band concert which was led by Prof.
Liberatti. Twenty-Five of the boys
were taken down in motor cars and
after they got there and reported they
were told there was no room for them
in the band stand. nor were they in
vited to take any part in the concert.
One Of the boys said he asked if he
might sit on the curb and listen to the
others play, and was told he could, but
net TO tell anybody he came from Lea
venworth.
Going on an invitation the boys
quite naturally feel sore over their re-
ception and feel somewhat like the
fellow who, after being kicked down
three flights Of stairs and out into the
middle of the street, remarked to a
bvstander. Looks to me like they did
not want me up there. What do you
think about it?"
Following are the names of the par
ties who took the boys to Wenatchee
in their autos: o. S. Sampson, F.
T. Motteler, Chas. Fox, R. B. Field,
w. c. Roach, F. S. Jacobsen and J.
T. Costello. The party returned
about eleven o'clock.

|. W. W. AgitatOr Killed at Wilson Creek.

A pitched battle between Italian
laborers in the Great Northern yards
and a band of alleged I. w. WIS
Monday afternoon resulted in the fatal
injury of one man who was Wednesday
afternoon buried in the potter's field,
he having succumbed to blow on the
head from which he did not regain
consciousness
The trouble arose. according to the
statements Of the Italians, when the
I. w. WIS tried to persuade them to
quit work. Arguments not availing the
invaders began throwing stones. One
man, apparently the leader, got too
close to the Italians and was felled
by blow on the head from stone.
He was then beaten down. With his
skull crushed he remained unconscious
until he died, about 10 hours later.
No clue TO his identity was found.
The Italians refused to give the name
of the man who threw the stone and
the case against them was dropped.

IMPROVEMENTS MADE
TO SCENIC THEAT RE
Adds Chickering Grand Piano and New
Drop Curtain-Aims to Keep up
With Demand of Its Patrons

Manager Simpson of the Scenic
Theatre is progressive in his man
agement as well as in his politics.
He recently ordered and installed
a new and attractive drop curtain and
the past week received a hand
some Chickering Grand piano that
cost thousand dollars. He is con-
templating other improvements and
says he means to make the Scenic all
the people Of Leavenworth desire in
the way Of an amusement resort.
A special agent of the underwriters
association who was here a short time
ago pronounced the installation of the
moving picture machine as near FIRE
proof as it can be made and entirely
satisfactory to the insurance depart
ment, a consideration which must give
comforting assurance to all the patrons
of the Scenic.

Mr.. and Mrs. c. G. Smythe and N.
Patterson returned Wednesday after
noon from an eight days motoring trip
up the Columbia river, stopping at
Chelan, Brewster, and Okanogan and
at Twisp and Winthrop in the Methow

terson said the country around Brew
ster was developing very rapidly and
he saw some orchards that compared
with the best in the Wenatchee val
ley. He also spoke highly of the
Methow valley and praised the roads
which he said were very excellent.
The trip was made in Mr.. Smythe's
new Ford car. Over five hundred
miles was covered without a single tire
trouble.

B. BaIIOu

News was received here this week
of the death OF Mrs. VIM. Collier, who
was formerly Miss Dora Ballou, a
daughter OF MI. and Mrs. J. B. Ballou
now residing at Peshastin. Mrs. Col
Ter who was suffering from acute indi-
gestion passed away at the Sacred
Heart Hospital at Spokane Monday
June after an illness of only few
days Shortly after being taken to the
hospital it was found that an operation
would be necessary, but she never raj
lied from the effects.
Mrs. Go,ler was well known here
where she grew TO womanhood, and
has many friends who regret her IN
timely departure. She had kind and
lovable disposition and was a devoted
church and missionary worker. Be-
sides a father and mother and two
brothers she leaves a husband and six
year old son.

BIG SHIPMENT OF
APPLES PREDICTED
5000 Cars Estimate of WenatChee Man
Upper WenatChee Valley will
Contribute 1000 Cars

A. A. Piper, Great Northern Agent
at Wenatchee, last week made the
statement that 5000 carloads would be
the apple production Of the Wenatchee
Valley this year-which means over
three million boxes. District Horticul-
tural Inspector Darlington several
weeks ago estimated that there would
be nearer 1000 carloads shipped from
the valley, but Mr.. Piper believes that
his figures will come closer TO being
correct.
The task of compiling the total ship
ments of the 1912 season, from Wenat-
chez, Olds, Malaga and points up the
Columbia river, was completed last Sat
urday by Mr.. Piper. The shipments
Of all kinds of fruit from these points,
including half dozen cars from Moni-
tor, were 3,l73 cars.
From the same stations and up-river
points, but excluding Monitor entirely,
Mr.. Piper estimates that the 1918 ship
ment will total $500 cars. That is an
estimate, says Mr. Piper, that is made
difficult by reason of the uncertainty as
to the crop OF young trees. Between
$500 and 1000 cars for Wenatchee,
Oids, Malaga and upriver points, in the
belief of the Great Northern agent, is
safe estimate. From Monitor, Cash
mere, Peshastin and all the fruit grow
ing territory between this city and
Wenatchee, Mr.. Piper expects about
1000 cars to be shipped. making the
total Of all kinds of fruit from the We
natchee valley and points up the Co
lumbia which will ship through Wenat-
chez about 5000 cars.

WORK HAS COMMENCED
ON SCENIC HIGHWAY
H. B. Smith of Merritt has Charge of
Construction Considerable Work
Will be Done This Year

That the Cascade Scenic Highway
will be open for travel by the latter
part of next year, 1914, is the belief
OF H. B. Smith of Merritt, who has
charge of the construction Of Chelan
county's portion of the road. Mr..
Smith now has force of men at work
on the highway, and while at present
there is only SIS, 900 available to carry
on the work, il is said that there will
be at least $4,000 more before the
summer is over, which is to be raised
by popular subscription. The Merritt
road district fund amounting to $l5,-
900 will be available next year and
with this and a little assistance from
the county commissioners there will be
enough money on hand 10 finish that
part of the road lying in Chelan County.
Captain S. w. Usher, Of Wenatcbee,
one of the chief boosters OF the high
way, returned last Friday from Ev-
erett where he attended a meeting Of
the directors Of the Scenic Highway
Association and stated that there is
progress in all three of the counties
on this road construction work. The
King county commissioners have ap-
propriated $4,000 for a final survey
which will be commenced in ten days.
On completion of this preliminary
work, the $165,00 voted by King
county last fall will be available. King
county has twenty-eight miles of the
highway to build. Snohomish has
seven miles TO build and has already
commenced work on its portion.
Barring no interruptions, citizens of
Leavenworth who are fortunate enough
to own gasoline buggies will be able to
drive their machines over the noun
tains and into Seattle inside OF the
next eighteen months. By this time
the pacific highway will have been
completed and if they so desire they
will be able to drive to San Francisco,
to the worlds fair.
Captain Usher is in receipt OF let
ter from Senator Jones stating that it is
possible that $4,000 may be set
aside to assist in the construction Of
the road through the forest reserve.
Mr.. Jones has taken the matter up
with the department and it is believed
that the money will soon be forthcom-
inp

SALARY OF MARSHALL
BEFORE CITY COUNCIL
COunoiImen All Say ''We Need Extra PO-
lice Officer" but Object to the
SIS Month Salary

The all absorbing topic before the
council for several weeks past has been
What are we going TO do about the
salary of the extra police oficer7"
Ever since Councilman Mischke made
the statement at one of the meetings
that the saloon men would contribute
SO a month each or 500 a month
toward the salary of an extra officer, it
has been a hard matter to convince
several of the councilmen that they
ought to pay the SIS bill which Mr..
E. A. Woods has presented for the
past two months.
Mr.. Woods who acts in the capacity
Of deputy sheriff receives a salary Of
SIS month from the county, $50 a
month from the saloons and all that is
asked of the city is $25 a month. To
insist on the payment of $40 month
from each saloon would not be wise
policy as the marshall would undoubt-
edly feel that he was obliged to work
more in their interests. Mr.. Woods
works from II o'clock noon until mid
night and earns his salary. The mat
ter was laid over until the next meet
ing for final action.
A. R. Brown who was recently ap-
pointed city clerk to take the place
Of Guy Hamilton, rendered his resigna-
ton, and S. A. Potter was appointed to
the position The clerks salary was
recently raised from $40 to SIS on ac-
count of the additional work and
arrangements are to be made whereby
an additional Is a month will be added
10 his salary.
The awarding of the contract for the
improvement OF Cascade street which
has been hanging fire for several weeks
was settled at this meeting, the Colum-
bia Engineering & Construction Co.
being the successful bidders, their price
being $2,021.20. Seaman & Quigg's
bid was $2,o56.57.
A petition asking for cluster light
on the corner of 9th and Commercial
streets was granted.
An ordinance providing for the sell
ling Of the warrants against the water
system was adopted.

IRRIGATION PROJECT
ENDORSED BY VOTERS
Preliminary Bonds AuthOrized-$40,- :
100000 Issue to be Voted
on Next Year

Leavenworth people are interested
in the Quincy irrigation project, the
preliminary bond issue to pay for the
final survey Of which was authorized at
an election held last Saturday, because
the big irrigation project will have its
intake within eight or ten miles OF
Leavenworth, and mean spending from
FIVE to ten million dollars right here.
The returns from four-ffths of the
district are in and are so overwhelm-
ingly in favor of the issue that there is
no doubt that work on the final survey
and estimate will begin this summer.
The returns from the irrigation dis
trict election are incomplete owing to
lack of telephone communication from
a territory of about 100, 900 acres, but
the vote in the remaining 100000
acres was 31o for the formation OF the
distric. and only 43 against. ,l
With the formation of the district
and the election Of directors arrange
ments will be made for a bond cleo
ton, the money TO be used for the sur
vey of the project and other prelimi-
nary work. tits estimated that this
will cost about 100000. The candi-
dates in the lead for directors are:
o. A. Cook OF Ephrata, A. J. Ternent
Of Quincy, Joseph Robinson Of Aurora
Flat, E. R. Huffman of Quincy and F.
D. Kredgley Of Quincy. Three are to
be elected.
The Quincy project may, after the
survey has been completed, cover ter
ritory $4,000 acres greater in extent
than that represented in the voting
today, and the cost is estimated at
about $40. 100000. The Legislature at
its last session passed a bill authoriz-
ing the expenditure Of this money if it
is ratified by the people Of the state
at the next general election, but the
bill authorizes the governor and
board to have final authority in passing
upon the feasibility of the project.

Meets Death in Logging Camp

Henry Synod met a tragic death on
Tuesday evening about 6 o'clock
while engaged in loading logs on the
old Cass place about fifteen miles from
this city. The last log was just being
placed on truck which the men were
loading, when suddenly it became
loosened, and before the unfortunate
man had time to jump it had passed
over his body, crushing out his life.
A doctor was summoned, but it is
thought death must have been in
stantaneous. The deceased who with
his three other brothers are well
known in this city, haye been opera
ting logging camp about fifteen miles
up the Chumstick valley.
The funeral services were held from
the chapel OF the Cascade Undertaking
Co. Wednesday afternoon, conducted
by Rev. Davis and the remains shipped
Thursday morning to the old home at
Three Oakes, Mich.

25,OOO,OOO FEET OF LOGS
IN lAMB-DAYIS MILL POND
Big Drive Got in this Week-ReCOrd Cut
Made Last Friday-255000
Board Feet

The big log drive of the Lpmb-Davis
Lumber Co., 100000 feet, which
has been on the way for the past three
weeks, arrived the first of the week,
and together with the stock on hand
makes 5000, 900 feet of logs on hand
at the present time. This is being
added to every day by 10000 feet
coming in over the Wenatchee Valley
and Northern Railway, so there is no
likelihood of there being a shortage Of
logs this year.
Last Friday the mill cut record was
broken. In a day and night run of
twenty hours there was cut 257, 900
feet board measure. The demand for
lumber continues good and the ship
ping department is kept busy filing
orders.
Never has the big mill since it was
established run with so little interup-
ton. With the exception Of parts OF
two afternoons, when it was found
necessary to shut down on account Of
high wind which made it dangerous to
handle lumber the mill has run unin-
teuuptedlY.
Last Tuesday was mill pay day and
in round numbers SIS, 900 was paid
out which goes far to make this pros
porous town. From six o'clock until
ten the sidewalks were crowded and
the stores and banks, which keep
open on pay day until ten o'clock,
were crowded with customers.

NEARLY TWO AND ONF-HALF MILLION VOTES CAS7
Winner of Contest Received Much Assistance From Business
Men-Was Also FNOrle Among RaiIrOadeT Who
Deserve Considerable Credit dt-PrinCeSs Will
Leave for Spokane Sunday or Monday

Last Wednesday marked the close
OF an exciting race in the Princess con-
test, Miss Alta Castlebery winning
over Miss Bernice Churchill by mar
gin of 268,000 votes. The total votes
cast amounted to nearly two million
and a half, although only the two above
candidates figured very strongly in the
race as will be seen in the list below.
The last week and up to the last
minute votes were issued in punches
TO each of the leading contestants and
their friends and it could be readily
seen then that it was going to be a
hard fight. Nearly everyone. conceded
that it lay between Miss Churchill and
Miss Castleberry and there was much
speculation as to who the winner
would be.
Promptly at II o'clock the voting
box disappeared and was taken to the
Tumwater Savings Bank where it re-
posed until one o'clock, when it was
taken to the Commercial club rooms
and the count begun. S. A. Potter.
J. E. Grant and A. L. Haines took
charge of the ballot box and rendered
a verdict. All of the first votes counted
gave Miss Churchill lead. but to-
wards the last Miss Castleberry began
TO gain and when the last vote had
been counted it was found that she
led her opponent by better than
quarter of a million.
Both. Miss Castleberry and Miss
Churchill received the support OF local
business men and each side worked
hard for a victory but someone had to
lose, and in this case the loser says
she bears no hard feeling against any
one. 1t was just case of being short
a few thousand votes. Aside from los
ing the honor as princess Miss
Churchill may feel gratifed at the way
her many friends rallied to her support.
The interest taken by the railroad men
in the contest added many thousands
of votes to Miss Castleberry's list.
Practically all the votes from this fra
ternity going to her credit.
Miss Castlebery is well known in
this city and is employed by Mr.. F.
S. Jacobsen as stenographer. She
is a most charming young lady, and
the people OF this city may rest
assured that Leavenworth will be
creditably represented at the Spokane
Pow Wow.
The princess will leave Sunday or
Monday for Spokane for a weeks stay
in the city.
Following is the standing of the con-
