MARTIN CHRISTENSEN TAKES
OVER THE KENYON RANCH
Buys Stock and All Tools and Fixtures
and Takes Ten Year Lease on
Ranch

A deal which has been in process
OF making for the past two weeks was
closed the first of this week and Mar
tin Christensen has taken charge of
the Kenyon, or perhaps it is best
known by the name of the Smith
ranch, on Eagle Creek.
This is one of the oldest and best
known stock ranches in the county.
Twelve years ago, when land was not
worth anything, the ranch was sold by
John Scmidt, who homesteaded it, for
ten thousand dollars to Spokane man
BIS the name of Moss. -Four years ago
it fell into the hands of o. E. Kenyan,
who has since owned it and made
many Improvements. There is over
FIVE hundred acres in the place. 100
in cultivation, mostly in timothy mea-
dow, and fifty or more acres that can
OaSAiJ DC COHfCltCu luto LIHolny inca
dow. 1t is one Of, if not the best,
stock ranches in Chelan county. There
is splendid ranch house, large barns,
stock sheds and other ranch buildings.
There is stock on the ranch at this
time but Mr.. Christensen will stock it
to its full capacity with cattle, and will
make stock raising his occupation.
He may finally establish a dairy for
which the place is admirably fitted.
He takes over all the stock on the
place and a lease on the ranch for ten
years.
Harry A. Rhodes, Spokane attor-
ney was here last Friday and Saturday
and drew up the papers by which the
trade was closed. Mr.. Christensen
has taken charge and will give the
ranch his personal attention. 1t could
not have fallen into better or more
capable hands. Mr.. Christensen is
familiar with the stock business in
which he has spent nearly all his life.
He is we'll known, having lived here
for the past twelve years, and is uni
versally esteemed. He is a good man
and has the confidence of and good
will OF the entire community.

PARCELS POST PROVING
TO BE A BIG SUCCESS
Local Postoffice is Sending Out About
Thirty Pounds or More of Parcels
Every Day

Leavenworth people used last We'd
nesday, January /, for the first time
the newest institution in America-the
parcels post. When Postmaster Davis
and his son began sorting the mail
Wednesday morning they found a gen
erous supply of parcels, larger than
usual, and some OF a freakish charac-
ter waiting to be dispatched. While
all packages will be shipped under the
parcels post in the future Mr.. Davis
says that the number is increasing and
predicts that the time is not far off
when the government will be operating
the express companies.
1t will be quite a while before the
public will be familiar with all the
rules governing the new system and
it might be we'll to say that all pack
ages require a special stamp or else
they will be held in the local Office.
The stamps are in denominations Of
one cent to twenty five cents. No
provision is made for the registration Of
these packages, although they can be
insured for ten cents up to the amount
of $50. The first shipment of parcels
post stamps received by Postmaster
Davis amounted to $118.
The cost Of carriage has been deter
mined as follows:

No 0yer-PrOductiOn of Apples

F. A. Huntley, Of Tacoma, state
horticultural commissioner, sees no
great danger of over-production Of ap-
pies. He puts the 1912 crop in
Washington at $500, 900 boxes and
the eventual maximum in this state at
not to exceed 100000 boxes.
A recent cencus taken by Mr.. Hunt
ley's office found 10, 100000 apple
trees in this state and an orchard area
of about 100000 acres.
For the first time" said Mr.. Hunt
ley, we are shipping apples to South
America. This years crop breaks all
records, and do not expect as great
an output in this state again for several
years. If we were to be restricted TO
narrow markets there would be danger
of reproduction, but if we reach out
for new markets l think the future
crops will find buyers. In the mean
time it is we'll to start in the manufac-
ture OF by-products.

UNKNOWN MAN FOUND
ON RAILROAD TRACK
Dead Body of Stranger Found Near
Chumstick Bridge, About Half
Mile Below Town

Deputy Sheriff Hamilton with the
assistance of Marshall Bohnsack and
several others made trip to the Chum-
stick bridge on a special train last Sat-
urday morning to pick up the remains
of a man who had been killed at that
place some time during the night.
The remains were brought to this city
and taken to Wenatchee the following
day by Coroner May, but as yet the
body has not been identified.
1t is not known exactly how the
man met his death but it is believed
that he was walking down the track
and was caught on the Chumstick
bridge and before he had time to get
off the bridge was struck by the train.
Some advance the theory that the man
was riding on a train and fell between
the wheels but this is not thought
likely. When found the man was
lying beside the track with both legs
entirely severed from the body.
1t was near this place that Dan Ma
son the Indian was killed about year

able discussion resulted over this ques-
ton and the marshals were questioned
if they had been able to find any gam
bling Joints" as had been intimated.
Marseall Bohnsack who was present
stated that he had been working along
these lines for some time but had been
unable to locate any place where gam
bling was being conducted. 1t was
decided to lay the communication on
the table indefinitely.
Sam Wilhelm put in references from
Wenatchee and made application for
the Office of water commissioner. No
action was taken, although the appli-
cation was placed on file for considera-
ton.
Mrs. Carrie Huston asked for per-
mission to make repairs to the amount
of $40 on a small building near the
Washington Hotel. The matter was
referred to the building committee.
The bond OF Clerk Hamilton in the
sum of $500 was signed and placed
on file.
Ordinance No. 100 in regard to the
shoveling of snow from the side walks
inside the fire limits was read and
passed. The provisions Of this ordi-
nance are that the walks must be
cleared OF snow before noon of every
day and that the snow must be thrown
far enough into the streets so as not to
block up the cutters or interfere with
traffic. Persons neglecting to do this
are liable to a fine of from S5 to SIS.
Marshall Bohnsack asked that two
lights be installed in the alley between
Eighth and Ninth Streets. The mat
ter was referred 10 the committee hav-
ing such things in charge,

LAMB-DAWS MILL CO
EXPECTS BIG YEAR
Lumber Plant is Closed Down Now for
Repairs-WlII Start About March
for Record Run

A large force is employed at the
Lamb Davis Mill these days making
repairs, and installing new machinery
in preparation for the commencing Of
operations at an early date in the
spring. While no definite date has
been given out it is believed saving
will begin not later than the first Of
March.
Logging operations have not ceased
this winter and in fact have been con-
Quoted on bigger scale than ever be-
fore in this section. The Wenatchee
Valley & Northern Railway has been
bringing in two train loads Of logs ev-
cry day for the past two months and
by the time that the mill starts several
million feet of logs will be in the pond.
We are anticipating banner year
says F. J. Kline, manager, and every
indication points to prosperous yeal
for the whole trade and we expect
to get our share OF the business.
The lumber cut promises to be the
heaviest this year in the history Of the
mill and it is probable that the total
cut will run close to fifty million feet

down the mountain side.
Wednesday night all the women and
children, families of railroad employees,
we're brought down from Tye in a
special train to this place for safety.
General Manager Emerson passed thru
here last Sunday in his special car and
has been at the tunnel ever since.
Wednesday night the women and chill
dren were put in his car and backed
into a place out OF the reach of slides,
but the following day, as precaution.
they were sent out OF harms way and
are now all housed here. Mr.. Scott,
the general superintendent, is also at
the scene of trouble.
There was vague rumor yesterday
of fifty men being covered by slide,
indeed there have been rumors every
day, and reports Of fifty or one hundred
men being covered by slides. All OF
these rumors have been proven untrue.
AS to just when traffic will be resumed
there is no way of telling. In the
morning it will be reported that the
road will be open by night. This will
be followed in the evening by another
report to the effect that it may be a
week or two weeks more before the
road is open to travel.
1t is reported that the Milwaukee
has given up the fight against the ele-
ments and will not try to operate trains
through the Cascades until after the
winter breaks up.
A reliable reporter says the snow is
now twenty feet deep on a level and
we'll packed and solid.

New Addition To leayenworth

J. w. Miller who recently plated
his land on the north side OF the track
expects to have it on the market next
week. The land is divided into half
acre tracts and lots 40x120 feet. The
new addition will be one Of the most
desirable residence locations in the
city, and the easy terms on which the
land can be bought should prove big
attraction for the man with small cap
ital. Lots on the Northside are in
creasing in value every year and this
is one Of the safest investments that We
know Of.

That the rates of the parcels post
will be lower than those that went into
effect on January 1st, is predicted by
Postmaster General Frank H. Hitch
cock and in his opinion if the govern
ment bought out the express compan-
les, the lowest rate now established
for the parcels post would be higher
than the highest necessary if the gov
eminent did all the business.
Establishment Of the parcels post
certainly means a downward revision
of rates by the express companies" he
declared. This means reduction
in dividends. There are thousands Of
persons holding small amounts of stock
in express companies. And their
holdings will become less valuable.
To prevent injury to their interests, a
fair minded and generous policy would
be to pay the express companies today
for their entire properties as they
stand to-day"
That the parcels post will be sue
cess is now practically assured. The
enemies of the new system, mainly
the express companies and their asso-
ciates have insisted from time to time
that it would prove impracticable as
we'll as improbable to the government,
but from all accounts like the postal
savings bank, the parcels post has
come to stay.
From Joseph Gangler, cashier oI
the Tumwater Savings bank we Learn
that the deposits OF the local posta
Savings bank up to January 1st, 1918
totaled S2,143.34. This represent:
mainly the deposits OF foreigners whc
are afraid to deposit their money il
regular savings banks, although the
government only pays two per cent a
against four per cent paid by private
banks.
According to statistics given out tbt
first of the year there are 100000 de
positors, 12,773 postoffices of th'
postal savings bank system Of thu
United States having on deposit abou
s28, 100000. Funds are received il
1857 banks.

BULGARIA GIVES UP
PLANS TO HEAD OFF sERVlANs
AND GREEKS MET WITH
FAILURE.
HAS APPEALED TO POWERS
Dlssentlon In War Office and Exhaus-
ton of Her Troops Caused the
Defeat of Bulgaria-Rou-
mania a Factor.

London, England.-The end of a fort
nights desperate fighting in the Bal
kans finds Bulgaria forced to appeal
to the powers to arrange peace. The
Bulgarian plan to drive a wedge be-
tween the Greek and Seryian armies
in the neighborhood of Guevgheli has
failed completely. The last reports OF
the fighting received from Athens
show that the Servians and Greeks at
this point are combining forces, While
the Roumanian army is beginning an
invasion of Bulgaria.
The latter fact doubtless was the de-
Gliding factor in the Bulgarian appeal
to the powers. How far Bulgaria's de-
feat is due to discussions In high mill
tary quarters. which resulted In the
resignation of General Savoff, and how
far to the fact that the Bulgarian
troops, which bore the brunt Of the
hard fighting in the last campaign,
were more exhausted than the Greek
and Servian forces, probably VIII
never be known.
Nothing can be predicted at the mo-
ment as to how events will shape them
selves. the Roumanian invasion OF
Bulgaria having brought an entirely
new factor into the problem. Russia
and France are devoting their efforts
to persuade the allies to adopt mod
crate attitude in order to facilitate
peaceful settlement.
The Servian premier is quoted In
the Vienna Neue Freie Presse as de-
claring that the new war has COM
pletely set aside all treaties Of alliance
and that peace must now be negoti-
ated on an entirely new basis.
Rumors were published in Berlin
and according to the Daily Telegraph S
correspondent at Athens were current
there that General Ivanoff, with fifty
thousand Bulgarians was forced to sur
render near Demirhissar, where fight
ing was proceeding for the possession
OF railway bridge over the Strums
river
Dispatches from the European CAPT
tails published in London severely
criticise Premier Daneff's overbear
ing policy as being the cause of the
Bulgarian defeat and his speedy down
fall is predicted.
